Authentically Divine Podcast

Thank you Lyssteners for tuning in! This week I delve into what repentance is by definition, how to apply it, and some scriptural evidence of how amazing it is. So often, we believe that by knowing we've sinned that must mean we've taken accountability. Repentance shows us that it is a not only acknowledgment of our wrongdoing, but a complete turn to God. Rather than turning from our wrong...

Embrace your personality, God will use it! God magnifies His Kingdom through you. This means that every characteristic, every trait, every facet of who you are is used for Him. If you have fear about God changing who you are, listen to this episode! After putting out Episode 41, I wanted to further encourage you that God uses our entire personality, just how He created us for His glory. In this ep...

Welcome back Lyssteners! This episode is encouragement to those that know that they're missing something in their lives. The ones that know deep down they have not found the answer to life and happiness. The ones that might just need a little bit of encouragement to solidify the gut feeling they've had that Jesus is the answer. In this episode, I delve into my testimony from a broad perspe...

A rest day is not just gym culture coded - this is a basic Biblical principle. God does not simply suggest that we rest, it is a requirement of the Christian faith. We must rest from our works as God rested from His. The greatest example we have of rest in the Bible is God Himself. Even He, the Living God, rested from His works. How much more are we to rest? In this episode, I discuss how importan...

This week's message is meant to encourage. uplift and strengthen you. With the ups and downs of life, we have one constant - Jesus. Hope and trust are what faith is all about. We hope that Jesus will come, we trust that God will prevail. To exhort and encourage you is what we're called to do as believers. Speaking life back into you is what my mission is with this week's episode. I hop...

Prayer is our first line of defense. It is the most powerful weapon we have when it comes to making change, for others to be healed, for our minds to remain focused on Jesus. It is not something to be mocked, nor is it something to stop when society does not understand its value. Brothers and sisters, the world needs prayer now more than ever. Never stop praying. Pray fervently and with purpose. Y...

Ep 36: Fear is NOT the truth. God does not give us a spirit of fear. Fear is not the truth. The Word of God is the Truth. God does not give us a spirit of fear. But of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7Fear and anxiousness are from the enemy. God does not cause fear. He provides wisdom to us. NOT anxiety, NOT fear. Recognize the thoughts that come in and be presently aware of w...

Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 22: 37-40 These commandments are the foundation to being a true and devout Christian. Loving God with all of...

This week's episode is a further reflection of the Grace that God has. By His Grace I am made new. I am free from abusing alcohol for 2 years. HALLELUJAH! Episode 2 was posted in January 2025 but recorded months prior showing where I was 8 months into my sober journey. I discuss things I noticed within myself looking back on that video to where I am over a year later. Itis the most beautiful t...

This week's episode I dive in on Matthew Chapter 24 regarding Peter walking on water to Jesus! The Bible shows us that if we keep our eyes, our mind, ourselves focused on Jesus while going through a storm, something troublesome, something difficult, we too can walk on water. I used examples of not allowing the thoughts that come through your mind to allow you to be distracted and focus on somethin...

Sin is what creates in our lives a muddy, mucky path that in turn makes us feel dirty, have shame and have regret. Jesus is the filter that cleans us from that muck. The path to righteousness, the path to God, the path to freedom is beneath the mud that is sin. When we accept Jesus, he cleanses us of the dirt that covers his path for us. That path can further be cleansed and you can see Jesus clea...

Jesus is the GREATEST example we have. He is perfect. He was sinless here on Earth. With that being said, Matthew 26: 21-25 is PROFOUND in our understanding of the earlier passages of Matthew 5: 44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you. When Judas betrays Jesus, you see no cha...

During this week's episode you get Christmas in July! The theme of this week's message is to encourage those that are dealing with a hard week, a hard month, or their mind is causing them to have difficulty in the faith and with life. This is something I too struggle with, and God spoke to me with an implementation of the 7 R's: R enounce R emind R elease R eignite R emember R est R ecover For eac...

The year that I have felt the most connected to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This is a year of restitution, restoration, and reflections. Restitution because I have given my life back to my Creator to whom it does belong to. Restoration because I am going through a process of refinement to heal past pain and mindsets and to be who my Father has called me to be. Reflections because I see where...

Today's episode is all about taking rest - even in summer! The hardest part about living in an area where seasons change is not allowing yourself to go overboard. I find that rest is actually the most valuable thing we can do - especially in the warmer months. What does rest look like to you? I discuss different methods of rest while I record this episode resting in my backyard. I pray this me...

This week's episode is about our choice to follow Jesus. When we do, we have a responsibility to obey his commandments. I titled this live well suffer well, because ultimately this is the Christian life. We will endure suffering. But with that suffering, we are always paired with peace that surpasses all understanding. Topics discussed today include: -Recap of the last 2 weeks: What does from...

In this episode you will find a totality of love for Jesus, our Lord and Savior. I read scripture of His crucifixion and bring attention back on what He endured for you and I. The love He has for you and I, is more than one can imagine. I depict the love I have for him by sharing parts of myself that are vulnerable, yet so very real, my testimony. I wouldn't be able to do anything if it wasn't for...

In this episode I provide a perspective that is not often heard: questioning the way society is. From self-help to His help is a term I've coined for this podcast specifically. I delve into what this means for me. I was fully saturated in the "need to know everything": what was wrong with me, how to fix all of the things society was putting pressure on me about. I gripped onto the self-help books...

Welcome back to another Lysstener's Edition! This week's episode I give a short synopsis of the importance of waiting. God's best is given to us with time, and with maturity in Him. When we structure our wants and desires and place them in God's hand, he delivers us with things our minds could never have created for ourselves. His best is far greater than what we could imagine it t...

In this episode I discuss how each one of us are vital to the community. The people you know, and the people that you see in passing; we are all connected. I focus on in-person community and its importance to our survival in our entirety. Seeing people, talking with others, sharing our struggles and our victories together is what we're called to do. We were never meant to walk this life out by...

Welcome back everyone to another video episode! Being still and being present is such a gift that we oftentimes cannot seem to fit into our schedule. The rush of the day to day seemingly takes over day by day. I am here to say that we can find still moments, and we can set apart time in our day to achieve them. Coming from personal experience (as always) being still with God provides a treasure ou...

This week’s episode is a Lysstener’s Edition so it is shorter and will allow you some freedom to listen at your leisure. In this episode I discuss how we are created by our Creator: God. Because we were made in God’s image, in His likeness, we too are creative. Being creative is an essence of who we are. Being creative doesn’t have to come with expectations of profit, but rather openness and freed...

This episode is a personal ode to my younger self. I spent a lot of my younger years grabbing at attention, yearning for closeness, having broken trust, and clinging to relationships that were one-sided and broken. This episode I touch base on God's design for relationships, and how purity has since changed my relationship with my boyfriend. God revealed something so touching to my heart which led...

This episode details the importance of loving unconditionally. “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” is what Jesus specified to us is the second most important commandment. To love unconditionally not only entails putting yourself in someone else’s shoes, but it is adhering to how they are as well. What this entails is loving them despite their struggle, situation, or circumstance is. It oftentimes is d...

The world is spiritual. God created us and the world, which inherently makes us as individuals and everything around us, spiritual. Popular sayings, names of businesses, names of everyday items, lyrics, song names, movies titles, themes of movies ALL have spiritual context - even if they're not acknowledged by those watching, listening and using them. There is an origin to all of it. It is good vs...
