Yahweh's Child Podcast

This week's episode kicks off our first ever Love Series. Founded on scripture found in Matthew 22 we discuss what it means to love our neighbor, and what it doesn't.

Scripture Mentioned: Matthew 22:27-39

Featuring: Ansley Fain, Cheyenne Spencer

Last week we discussed cutting ties with toxic traits. Sometimes traits are associated with our inner circle, but outgrowing people isn't always as easy as it sounds. In this episode we discuss the struggles and benefits of taking that leap.

Scriptures Mentioned: Proverbs 27:17, Proverbs 12:26

Featuring: Cheyenne Spinks, Ansley Fain

The start of a new year often inspires new beginnings and big life changes. Similarly, when the Lord calls us out of our old life we feel inspired to cut ties with toxic traits... sometimes that's easier said than done. The Lord will give us strength, but that doesn't mean we wake up one day and all of the human temptations have disappeared. Big thanks to our special guest, Riley, for joining us and being so vulnerable on this topic!

Scriptures Mentioned: Luke 9:23, 1 Corinthians 10:5, Romans 8:38-39

Happy New Year! This is the time of year most people set goals, give up on goals, or avoid setting them at all. And a lot of those goals have something to do with cutting things out, but we want to remind you not to put so much pressure on yourself. The best way to cut something out is to replace it, so we encourage you to set goals that add something to your life.

Christmas snuck up on some of us! In this week's episode we discussed some of our favorite Christmas traditions and some tips for gifts on a budget. We wish you a merry Christmas!

The Spirit of Christmas is what makes the holiday so special! Love, joy, peace, and excitement fill the air. For some people, the Spirit can be dampened by situations like materialism or split families. We pray that God will restore the Spirit of Christmas in your heart! In this episode we discuss what the Spirit of Christmas looks like to us, some things that can dampen it, and some things to enhance it!

Bible Verse Mentioned: Luke 2:10-11

Amanda Lawrence joined us for this week's episode to discuss raising "big dreamers" in a Christ-centered home. There's no perfect person (other than Jesus) so there's no perfect parent. It's a lot of trial and error, but one thing we do know is that seeking the Lord and His guidance is definitely the right move.

We asked Amanda how she guided her oldest children, Chase and Trevor Lawrence, without discouraging them in their efforts. With Chase being an artist and Trevor an athlete, their ideal career fields were those that very few people make a living with. We also asked about the impossible strive for perfection and what it was like raising two sons with God-given talents that were totally opposite from one another.

Her daughter Olivia is still growing and we're excited to see what God has in store for her life.

Thank you, Amanda, for joining us and for your transparency regarding being a mom. The unknowns, the imperfections, and the importance of God's grace.

God instills gifts, talents, and passions within each of us. These things often push us towards our purpose. Created uniquely, we as believers all make up the body of Christ. Without eyes, one could not see. Without legs, one could not walk. Remember, we don't have to serve the Kingdom, we get to.

Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. (1 Peter 4:10)

The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!” On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable... (1 Corinthians 12:21-22)

The Thanksgiving season is a great reminder to be thankful for all of the "little" ways we've been blessed, but we hope that it overflows into all of your days! In this week's episode we discuss the science behind gratitude and some tips to exercise your gratitude muscles.

Scriptures Quoted: 1 Thessalonians 5:18, 1 Chronicles 16:34

In this week's episode we discuss cultivating church culture with special guest Benjamin Hopper. Through this conversation we hear how churches may be like mega-brand coffee shops, which can reach a lot of people, and how churches can also be like boutique coffee shops for a more hands on experience.

Ultimately there's two parts to cultivating church culture, within the body and within leadership. When done properly, we see these kinds of cultures overflow into the world around us. People see a difference in how we treat others, how we celebrate ideas and individuality. Cultivating a healthy church culture results in an overflow into the world.
