This one hit home for me, and im sure it will hit home for you too! Stick close to God! He Loves you!!

This is an important lesson to remember. In the name of Jesus we aren't alone, we find all our hope in the One and Only Jesus Christ!

Big life update!! Listen to this podcast for tips and tricks on it all!   "Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night." - Psalms 1:1-2   The Lord loves you!

I pray this may be an encouragement for you as It was for me when recording it! God is good even when your situation is bad. He Loves you so much!! :) 

Dating the right way is important, but making sure God is first is even more important. If I could go back and date Jacob all over again I would make sure we did bible studies together each week, when you start doing that earlier than it'll strengthen your relationship. PUT GOD FIRST. <3

I absolutely loved recording this podcast! It was a true blast!! This is part 1 to our story, we added lots of nuggets (points) of things that can help you in your relationship! Remember to seek God first before dating! God cares for you! Don't let others dictate your relationship but let God.

One thing out of the many things I loved from what Sarah said is "Choose your battles". At times in friendships or relationships you need to pick and choose whats important and what you should just drop. Since recording this podcast I've had to use this.

This was something that helped me HUGELY! When the Lord forgives us, He doesn't keep bringing it up... only the enemy does, so don't allow the enemy to speak thoughts into your head! Allow God to speak truth into your heart. 

I've heard so many people say "don't do this" or "don't do that". That's exactly what people said to Noah when he was building the ark, but... Noah followed and did exactly what God asked Him to do despite what others said and we need to do the same and follow what God asked us to do. 

This was a song I felt to write, it is about Jesus, on the cross, it's Him speaking to us and telling us that HE has us, He has got us in His hands! Just trust Him! I hope you enjoy! 

At times it can be hard to find your identity in Christ, instead of people and what they say about you. In this podcast we are joined with Chanlie Beckham where she shares how she found her identity in Christ, and how YOU can too! Sharing different pieces of advice to help you. 

At times it can feel like we just repeat a prayer to just get the check mark of praying. But how can we get past that? Liza is an amazing prayer warrior and gave so many nuggets and tips on how YOU can increase your prayer life and not just be average

Think about that, Jesus has been through what you have been through first.  That's such a key thing to think about, and I forgot about it until today. Take upon Jesus not the burdens you face in this world. Remember it comes down to one thing, DO YOU have a relationship with Him?

What an incredible start to the year with such an incredible person, mother and mentor to me to start the interviews with! Each month we will have a new speaker! Super excited to see what God has in store.

5 Key Points to pray about for 2024  - Kingdom Project (Something your doing to bring people to know God) - Relationships (Which relationships should you be keeping and which should you not be pursuing) - Financial / Career (Which area does the Lord want you in) - Health / Fitness (Taking care of the Temple He gave you, working out, eating clean foods) - Other (ask God if there is something else, somewhere else he wants you or wants you to do)   I'm reminded of this verse - "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." Matthew 6:33  

I love this podcast cause we can all use this no matter the place we are in. Steward what you have well, and don't waste it, if that be finances, gifts, time, resources etc... Do it all unto the Lord and well.  

All I'll say is take a listen...   He loves you <3
