Raising Up Christians

Who do you say you are?  No really?  What comes to mind?  Maybe you are a good son or daughter, a husband or wife, a mother or father....but who are you really?  Today, we chat about where our confidence lies is where we identify.  We send out a challenge for our podcast community to consider this....You Are the Daughter/Son of the One True King. That is who you are to your core.  Once you've...

We are in the world where what is may not be at all.  Do we know what is real?  Can we tell what is AI versus what is actual truth?  What we do know is that God has given us His Word, the Bible.  Let's not get too comfortable taking what we see on social media as truth.  Let's not believe that the news outlet will tell the exact truth because human truth has a lot to do with our past exp...

Welcome to 2025!!!  Today we go over some questions that we have received and talk about some of the events that have been going on in the United States.  We take a moment to pray for the victims of the terrorist act against Christians in Germany.  One important aspect of today's podcast is that we don't want to wait for tomorrow to fix broken relationships and we don't want to wait...

What does Christmas mean to you?  Are you worried about the gifts you need to buy or the many "yes" answers you gave to people so that you are overextended?  What about that family gathering and the fear someone might bring up religion or politics?  Now, rest.  Think instead of the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.  Instead of seeking the world, Seek the Giver.  God so loved the world t...

Gratitude should not be a temporary feeling or expression but a permanent characteristic of our Christian heart. As Thanksgiving approaches we challenge you all to not only express but actively pursue God's will and works for your life. Understandably, the holiday season can stir up an array of emotions but keeping your focus centered on God will not only help to tame anxious feelings but wil...

Come with us as we consider Christians who celebrate Halloween.  This has been a very requested podcast so we did our research on the pagan beginnings of this "holiday".  What we found most interesting is that there is not one biblical verse in favor of Halloween but plenty to denounce a Christian participating.  Do we want to raise our children in the world or in Jesus?  We have a respo...

Do you ever struggle with feeling that you cannot let down your guard? Do you fear that if anyone were to see you for your genuine self they would judge you or belittle you? Have you ever wondered why there are so many spiritual and emotional breakthroughs at church? It is not just the worship that shakes you to the core, its not just the greeters who meet you with a smile. Its the commonality of...

This week we get to answer some awesome viewer questions. We talk about the real life struggle of feeling emptiness, spiritual fatigue and getting lost in the "good deeds vs loving Jesus". Come along to fellowship and grow with us!!

Unified Christians is our topic today.  It isn't just what we think should be happening but in Ephesians 4, Paul talks about a Unified and Matured Body of Christ.  How can we do God's work as Christians if we are not following His instruction?  The other area of concern is that all Christians are needed for the Body of Christ to work.  We don't want you to feel like you are not part...

This week Heather and Britt jump into a discussion about what it means to be content. As humans, it is unnatural for us to be content...we always strive for more. We have an imagination that always sums up the "next" big thing. We want comfort. We want to feel "at home", but the truth of the matter is that this isn't our home... Imagine being held back from taking up the c...

A very important, if not the most important question a Christian can answer is, "Who Jesus is". Its very easy to identify Him in a church setting, or when great things are happening in your life, such a new birth in the family, a new job opportunity, a good doctors report, the list goes on. But who is Jesus to you when things go amiss, you lose that job, the test results come back much w...

Welcome back to another week of fellowship and growth. This week we start to talk about idolatry...yep, a word that is commonly used throughout the Bible, but especially in the Old Testament. Each day, we idolize all different things, the good, the bad, the positive, the negative, the productive, and whatever causes us to become stagnant. Whether we warrant it as being a good or bad idol, its stil...

This week Britt and Heather dive into Philippians 4:13. Sure, almost everyone knows this specific verse word by word, but what does it truly mean to have Christ who Strengthens you? To be a Christ follower does not mean that everything will come to pass in your own perfect way or your timing, in fact, it usually means the opposite. It means that you are going to eliminate "your" time fra...

In today's podcast, we answer your questions.  Your questions were entertaining to say the least and we always answer in accordance to the Word of God.  Everything from how to spot a false teacher/pastor/preacher to how we honor our bodies as a temple, hence, is that a fat joke?  We dive in with answers from our hearts and taken from our biblical knowledge.  We hear from listeners in Australi...

In today's episode, Heather and Britt discuss how Christians should cope with chaos and even the causes of chaos in our lives.  The discussion also encompasses how we can use God's word to climb out of chaos and live more simple lives with the understanding that the valley is temporary.  How will you disciple if you are caught in chaos?  Do you allow chaos to change who you are?  Come gr...

This week Britt and Heather dive into the statistic fact that most people find Christianity hard to follow and difficult because they find that most Christ- followers tend to be hypocritical in their teachings. Its become far to common that we take bits and pieces from the Bible that make us feel comfortable or that we feel is easy to obtain while ignoring the scriptural truths that may leaves us...

In today's podcast, Britt and Heather examine the necessity of having Grace for others, Gratitude in the valleys and building a strong foundation using building blocks of faith.  What are some ways we can find gratitude in the face of storms?  Why is grace so important and how can we be sure that we are building a strong foundation in Christ?  Today, come with us to fellowship and grow as we...

In today's podcast, Heather and Brittany talk about God Winks.  We also talk about the peace which can be found through the Holy Spirit.  In John 14:27 it says Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.  Not as the world gives do I give to you.  Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.  God is with you all the time.  Just the same, being a Christian, there are two things...

This week we decided to introduce you all to an amazing Bible study book called, "What Happens When Women Say Yes To God" written by: Lysa Terkeurst. Every single person should read this study, I know the title may seem like its only geared at women, but the overall take on obedience to God and the joy it brings works for every gender and walk of life. Join us as we banter about what sim...

New season, new format. This week we are taking a new approach...no written lessons, no verses, just thoughts we've been having. We do talk about a couple sermons that sparked our hearts and how Jesus is ever- present in our daily lives.  Come along to fellowship and grow with us! insta: raisingupchristians_podcast_ Facebook Group: Raising Up Christians Email: raisingupchristians@yahoo.com

Welcome to our podcast! This week we discuss how our family celebrates "Resurrection Sunday". We then move onto the topic of this week which is debunking commonly used clichés. As a believer of Christ it is important that we constantly turn to the counsel of Jesus and find biblical backup to ensure we are living in a way that glorifies His kingdom, not our own. Please visit our social me...

In todays episode we dive into some great questions that listeners sent in that not only undress our lives but perhaps can aid each and everyone of you in your walk with Christ as well.  Listen along to fellowship and grow with us!! email: raisingupchristians@yahoo.com Facebook: Raising Up Christian Instagram: raisingupchristians_podcast_

What do you think living sacrifice means?  Today we get to discuss what we have found and scripture to back up this command.  Paul speaks about being a living sacrifice in Romans 12.  He also goes into detail in Galatians.  If you are a follower of Christ, you are supposed to be set apart from the world.  This means, we choose to die to self every single day in order to follow Christ.  Part of a l...

Where is God when you feel alone and in a valley so deep that it feels like you will be consumed.  God is with you always.  There is light in the darkness.  Today, Heather and Britt dive into the importance of having a grateful heart.  God wants that for us.  God finds you in your hard moments.  Why can't we find contentment in moments that are truly hard?  God will change your heart the more...

This week Heather and Britt get right down to business in talking about our responsibilities as Christian's to steward our children, raising them up in the ways of the Lord and being the voice of the vulnerable and for those who cannot yet speak up for themselves. Be vigilant and extra- aware of what your children are seeing, hearing and doing. In the same token, be aware of what you are seei...
