CONNECTED Adventist

Our fears of failure, inadequacy and rejection can cause us to miss out on the blessings that come with spiritual and personal growth through ministry and outreach.

Feminism can be a 'dirty' word among some Christians. On this episode, I'll discuss an area within the church structure, that I strongly believe needs to be fought for; the employment of women for full-time ministry. Our church AND Christianity, needs to address the lack of opportunity for women who have a yearning to be employed in full-time ministry but have no desire to be a Pastor.

SEEDS Co Founder Camila Skaf, shares her journey of how her and her husband made the transition from a career in Financial investments to full-time ministry creating community connection, with their faith at the centre of all their projects.

The title speaks for itself lol

Jelena shares with the CONNECTED fam one of her most powerful outreach tools for sharing her faith with secular friends; being genuine

The grass may look greener at the other church for two reasons; its fake or they watered it.

When I speak with broken people about the F word their responses are so varied. Not everyone wants to hear the f word in connection to their emotional trauma.

"The inferno of our brokenness can leave us burnt beyond recognition". When people experience brokenness through betrayal, rejection or abandonment, they often loose their value and worth in who God made them and the gifts of character that God blessed them with. Through an emotionally traumatic experience, we can become so guarded, that we are no longer the same person.

Citizens arrest, tackling thieves in the shopping mall, calling out sin; have you been faced with a situation where you stood back and watch a crime happen right in front of you, only to later realise you could have done something? Well, Kyle and I did too.

During painful and traumatic experiences in life, where there is betrayal and people letting us down, the hardest stage in forgiveness and restoration, is realising that in some situations, it took two to tango; everyone played their part in enabling the final outcome.

Our personal wilderness will leave us with one question, 'why me?'. Most often, the answer to this painful question will be BLAME.

The truth hurts and reality isn't always the nicest picture. But there is one thing positive about seeing people for their true colours, it simultaneously shows you God's true colours too.

Stage 3 of my break brought about a powerful reminder that we are spiritual beings and Christianity provides the one thing all other religions can't; unconditional and unwavering love, a constant sense of Divine belonging and epic security in uncertain times.

I'll be sharing some critical lessons unbelievers taught me about overcoming trauma without Jesus.

I knew my 3 week break was going to take me to some dark places. The process of emotionally and psychologically working through a traumatic experience can be mentally tormenting and can often make us feel like we're drowning in negative thoughts and insecurities.

The Bible is full of people called by God, to do great things who suffered with mental health issues.

Trust is a 'mountain' we may only climb once.

They say 'absence makes the heart grow fonder' but when disappointment is thrown in the mix it can make our heart wonder.

At some point in our Christian walk, events and people will be used to test us in order to determine if we're 'fake Christians' or Christians willing to trust in God no matter how much you don't want to.

Dr. Danzie hosts the 'Adventist Reflections' podcast and came over to share his thoughts regarding Adventists considering a career in Psychology.

When the main focus in your Christian walk is to teardown the Church, you risk making your outreach all about converting the converted.
