Strong Christian Female

If you've ever experienced sickness beyond the cold or flu, you may have asked God to help you... perhaps even to heal you. In some way, most of us have needed healing and dared to ask. But, did you get it? If so, did you tell anyone? If not, did you stop contending for healing, assuming that it just "wasn't for you"? Is healing still for today? Did Jesus really die for our sin...

Have you ever seen people with a fatalistic world view? Similar to "karma", they believe more in the idea of "what will be will be" and far less about our stance in Jesus over the circumstances that surround us. The challenging part is not so much those in the world believing this, but those in the church. But, what does the Bible say about how we are to take on our lives and t...

We've all had it. We may still be wrestling with it. Heck, we may wear it around and call it our wardrobe. But, it's a spiritual killer... and some of us are living it out everyday. Pride. Pride is a human issue that we are now openly accepting and even bringing into the church. But what does God say about it? Because, in the end, it's not our culture who will hold us accountable......

Jesus said His burden is light. So, why is life so freaking hard sometimes?  ___________ Have you ever tried to do something new without any guidance. Maybe a picture inspired you. Or a book you read. You set out to do it and... it was far harder than you expected. And then you realized that a LOT the people who have done that exact thing before you got help. Or wrote a book to help others. Or gav...

This one is for the warriors.  We are empowering parents to protect their kids by arming up with information that is key to keeping creepy hands away from our children's minds, bodies, and souls. This episode guides you through a FULL class of how to safeguard your family by making you aware of gateways and tactics people use to groom, seduce, and abuse kids. Although not a "everything y...

Our Christian culture is in dire need of a shift. A re-prioritizing, a re-focus, a removal of all things that aren't from Christ and meant for His church. But, how do we even begin such a task?   That's what we are about to tackle. It's simple but not easy. And it must be done in each of our lives before we are swept away by the culture invading our walls. For more content (or to pu...

Ever felt like life was over your head. Ever decided to just let the waves engulf you?  Although this can be what we WANT to do, it's not the life God wants us to live. However, society says, it's fine to live a life that is out of sorts and "messy". But... is it? For more content (or to put a face to a voice), check out our YouTube channel!

Do you ever feel like following Jesus is... a chore?  Well, it can start to feel that way if our perspective is not where God wants it to be. After all, all of the don't-do-thises can stack up and feel overwhelming. But, God never meant for our lives following Jesus to feel overwhelming. He says "my yoke is easy and my burden is LIGHT.” (Matthew 11:30) So how do we get it wrong? Today we...

Well, we're back to discuss the reality of what limiting God in our lives looks like. Open your Bibles, open your hearts... let's do this! For more content (or to put a face to a voice), check out our YouTube channel!

Our minds are given to us by God. However, they can be the very gateway that keeps us FROM God. In today's episode we tackle the reality that many face in the church - knowing so much we rely on our own knowledge, rather than God's wisdom and the presence of and relationship with the Holy Spirit. This is something our society and the American church is struggling with big time! It's...

Have you ever felt powerless over the things around you?  It's true that our actions are under our control. And the consequences of those actions are the harvest we reap from the things we have sewn.  If we overeat, our bodies will do what they are created to do and store that extra fuel for another day. Or, if we stay up late watching movies, we will be tired. Or, if we spend every dollar we...

Ever wonder how things in the Christian culture (that are not founded on the Word of God) get started?  Ever wonder if you have some mis-truths in your own walk with Jesus?   Today we tackle the truth about some cultural Christian lies. And we arm up to defeat them. For more content (or to put a face to a voice), check out our YouTube channel!

This is a story of an Italian man living on a British Estate stolen by Irish pirates and sold into slavery. This is the story of St. Patrick. If you're like me, you never really heard about "St. Patrick" growing up. Sure, there was St. Patrick's Day - shamrocks, leprechauns, and gold at the end of rainbows. But, the true story of St. Patrick wasn't something I ever heard o...

What if we dared to believe that the God of the universe wanted a personal, interactive relationship with us?  Not a systematic, stale, religious life trapped on a page, but a real, interactive relationship full of hope, love, peace and adventure? How would that change how we go about our lives? And, how does THAT sort of walk with God even begin ?   Well... let's talk about it!  And then, le...

Well, well, well... once again people speaking "my truth" have led the world into a dark abyss of sin and destruction. (Or, in some cases, just led us all into distraction from what God really wants us to pay attention to - Him and what He is doing in the earth.)  Man, can't humanity ever learn a lesson? In today's episode we delve into what the Bible says truth is, who gives u...

As people continue to see the lies of the enemy exposed in our lives, it is imperative that we, as followers of Jesus, embrace the comforter He left us.  In John 16:7, Christ said, "But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you." (more below) So, if Christ said it is GOOD that...

A.W. Tozer once wrote, “So strong, so beautiful is hope that it is scarcely possible to overpraise it. It is the divine alchemy that transmutes the base metal of adversity into gold. In the midst of death Paul could be bold and buoyant because he had firm confidence in the final outcome. " C.S. Lewis would also go on to say, “Hope is one of the Theological virtues. This means that a continual...

This is part two of our talk about FOMO.  Culture throws a lot of reasons at us every day to go along with everything from political decisions to fashions, diets to definitions of gender. It's madness. And, if you are worried about not being accepted by others, the pressure the world puts on us can compound and encourage us to silence our voice or even water down our faith.  It's time to...

Well, now that we've identified the Ultimate Christian FOMO (check out episode 44 if you're not quite sure what that means), let's get ready to get it out of our lives for good! In this two-part episode we dive into scripture to seek God's word on identifying Fear of Man and getting it out of our lives so we can do the things He has called us to do.  Get ready to get into battl...

Psalm 118:6, “The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” Are you sick and tired of leaning more into the acceptance of the world around you rather than the conviction of the Holy Spirit? Do you want to do things for Christ even if it means taking a risk and not being "liked"?  If so... it's time to get rid of Christian FOMO. Fear of man is talking about through...

Caleb and Joshua were outnumbered by the other spies 10 to 2. Those odds are dismal. However, without denying reality, Caleb and Joshua stood by what God said He was going to do and said that defeating the giants was possible because of God's promise and His word. What is God saying right now in the face of giants? How can we become giant-slayers? Who in your life is telling you that the real...

Considered part 2 of "Innocent Lies...?" (SCF Episode 41), in this podcast episode  we delve into scripture dealing with truth and discuss what the Bible says about speaking truth even in the face of culturally accepted lies.  Do we want to be known as people of God, who, in speaking eternal truth, are recognized by people and of God as followers of Him? Afterall, without His truth, the...

Some lies can come dressed in festive clothes. And, while innocence and mystery and wonder are fantastic parts of childhood... a more serious question arises in the foreground of what may be a somewhat innocent tradition:  are there lies from our childhoods that might still be lingering in our lives today?  If so, how do we know? And what do we do with those?   Also, as Christians, are we to embra...

Well... this may not be the most "popular" topic, but, if you just lived through 2020 we all know it's a relevant one. God did not call us to comfort. He called us to deny ourselves and follow Him. But... what does that look like NOW? Let's dive in and be encouraged. Oh, and get ready to be a very not-comfortable-in-the-world's-clothes warrior for Jesus. Follow us on insta...

We all like to be comfortable. But is that what God is calling us to be?   This episode is the springboard to a deeper conversation (posted in episode 40) about comfort in our daily walk as a follower of Jesus. In this true story, you will see that sometimes what can seem out-of-place is exactly what God is asking us to do.  Get ready to stand out. God is calling us out and up! For more content (o...
