Show Notes
Hey friends! If you are a listener from the very first episode, you would know that episode 1 of this podcast is titled "Feeling Unqualified". And it's an episode were I share my vulnerability and how, when I started this podcast, I didn't feel qualified to do it. I didn't feel like I had the knowledge. I didn't feel like I was a teacher of the word. I felt like there were so many others more qualified to do this than me. But, I wanted to be obedient to what God told me to do. So I did it anyway.
Here we are. Almost 3 years later, 1.5 million downloads later...you would think I would be over the fear of feeling unqualified.
And you would be wrong.
Recently, I received a message in my inbox of someone asking me why only 3 years of really getting serious about studying my Bible made me qualified to teach. And this message really made me question myself all over again. And I thought about it long a hard and here is what I realized.
It's not the amount of years you've been a Christian that makes you qualified to share God's Good News. It's God's grace that He gives freely once you declare Jesus as your Lord and Savior that qualifies you! God qualifies you! And I want to bring encouragement to anyone who is struggling with feeling like "who am I to share about Jesus?" You are a qualified, beloved daughter of the King, sis. That's all the qualification you need!

Hey friends! On today's episode, we go back to the basics and ask ourselves "what does it mean to be a real Christian?" When was the last time you thought about that? What does it really take to be a Christian and be saved?
Hey friends! On today's episode, we are going to focus on Galatians 1 and 2. And I really want to focus on challenging you to do an inner inventory of your faith. Ask yourself, "am I blending my faith with the world?" In other words, are you allowing yourself to blend or bend your faith to allow things in that are not righteous and of God? Is your source of faith and morality the one True God? Or do you allow the voices of culture, celebrities, and the world convince you that certain things are "ok"?
Hey friends! Hope you had an amazing Easter and Happy Resurrection Day!! Today, I wanted to adlib and give some of my unedited thoughts on the cross and why it's the single most important thing about our faith. More specifically, have you ever thought more deeply about the phrase "Jesus died on the cross for our sins"? Like what does that even mean?! Let's chat about it today!
Hey friends. This week has been a dark one with the tragedy in Nashville. It has brought the question "why God?" And honestly, I can't really answer that for you. But, I can tell you what I have learned...and that is this world is temporary. And it's time we start blaming evil and darkness for the evil and darkness in the world. God has a plan. We may not understand it. It sometimes is an unimaginably painful plan. But, this world is temporary and it is not our forever home. And friendly reminder, evil might look like it wins here on earth, but they absolutely lose in the very end!
Yep. We are going there today. If God is so good and loving, why does He send people to hell? Hoping this episode helps you!
