What comes to your mind when you think of the word obligation?

For me, I think of terms like chore, requirement, or an absence of choice. But, when it comes to my obligation to share the good news, I'm glad. Overjoyed even. It's a privilege and an honor to share what God has done for me, how He's set me free and who He is with others. Listen to today's episode, a psa of sorts, to uncover the wisdom from Acts 3 and remember one of the most important commands. "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." Matthew 28:19 NIV

Scriptures from this episode:
Acts 3:6
Acts 3:16
Acts 3:26
Isaiah
Matt: 28:19
Galatians 5:14 NIV
Ephesians 2:8-9 (NLT)
God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.

The Universe Has Your Back

Summary
I must admit, this week's title is more for SEO than my community of Christian moms.

It's Thanksgiving 2023 and I recorded this special episode in response to a conversation with a family member.

Drawing on her own experiences and the teachings of Christianity, Semonna emphasizes the importance of seeking God instead of relying on the universe. She urges listeners to let go of false idols and embrace their divine purpose, reminding them that they are loved, valued, and meant for more.

Summary:
In today's episode, we dive deep into topics that push us to unlock our untapped potential. We'll explore the concept of pride and fear, and how they can hold us back from reaching our fullest potential.

Drawing inspiration from a quote by Les Brown, we delve into the idea that graveyards are the richest places on Earth, not because of material wealth, but because of the dreams left unfulfilled. We discuss how fear is the enemy and how it can steal our purpose, kill our dreams, and destroy our destiny.

Don't forget to listen until the end, where I share some journaling prompts for our listeners to ponder, encouraging them to embrace their talents, strengths, weaknesses, and gifts from God. And finally, I challenge the listeners to consider how the people closest to them perceive their strengths and abilities, ultimately urging them not to give up, because God has already won the battle over fear. Get ready to be inspired, motivated, and reminded of the immense potential within you. Let's dive into this transformative episode.
