Episode 449 // Forgetful Faith? How to Remember Who You Are in Jesus (Bible Study & Devotional)

Hey Sis! 🎙️ 
Have you ever thought about how God placed you in this lifetime, at this moment, for a reason? As we often hear in Esther 4:14, we are here for such a time as this. Let’s take a moment today to acknowledge and share our gratitude for the people God has placed in our lives.
📖 Scripture Focus: Romans 8:7-11
💡 Key Takeaways:
The enemy thrives on deception, but God calls us to know His Word for ourselves.
Sin is not life-giving—it takes from us. The Holy Spirit, on the other hand, leads us to true life.
Fear and faith cannot coexist. When we forget who we are and Whose we are, we experience identity amnesia.
2 Chronicles 32:7-8 reminds us that we do not fight our battles alone. God is with us!

Episode 443 // When Delays Become Blessings: Seeing God’s Timing Clearly (“New Year, New Mercies” Devotional and Bible Study)

Hey Sis! 🎙️ 
Today is check-in day. So, let me ask you: 
How's your head? How's your heart? How's your soul?
In Matthew 22:37-39, Jesus reminds us to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind and to love others as ourselves. But what does it mean to truly love ourselves in light of our relationship with Jesus?
As I reflect on Job’s faith and the friendships that shaped him, I’m reminded that who we spend time with has a profound impact on our lives. And Sis, that includes our relationship with God.
So here’s the challenge: before Friday, take a moment to check in with yourself.
If your mind feels scattered, maybe it’s time to find a therapist or start journaling.
If your heart is weary, reach out to a friend for some joy and laughter.
If your soul feels stagnant, maybe it’s time to dive into Scripture or start that Bible-in-a-year plan (it’s not too late!).
We’re in this together. Let’s walk in the fullness of God’s purpose!
📖 Today's Biblical Affirmation:“In Christ, I am growing daily. I walk in the fullness of God's purpose, bearing fruit for His glory.”
💡 Today’s Episode Includes:📖 Scripture Study: 2 Peter 1:5-8 - The power of supplementing our faith with virtue, knowledge, self-control, steadfastness, godliness, brotherly affection, and love.
📝 Devotional Reflection: New Year, New Mercies by Paul Tripp - A call to live beyond the moment and trust God’s eternal plan.
🙏 Prayer: Asking God for the grace to see our time and circumstances through the lens of eternity.

Today’s episode is about embracing the new mercies God has for us in 2025. We’re diving into 2 Peter 1:5-8 and getting real about how to start the year by focusing on God’s purpose and His plan for our lives.
📖 Biblical Affirmation"I am growing daily in Christ. I walk in the fullness of God's purpose, bearing fruit for His glory."
Episode Highlights1️⃣ Living for His Glory – Paul Tripp reminds us that life is not about us; it’s about God’s plan. We are created to live for His glory.2️⃣ God’s Plan Over Our Own – Shifting our focus from our plans to His can be challenging, but it’s what we’re called to do.3️⃣ Small Acts, Big Impact – Every part of our day, no matter how mundane, can bring glory to God.4️⃣ Trusting in His Perfect Timing – As we step into this new year, let’s trust that God’s plan is always good, even when we can’t see it yet.
 
Moving ForwardAs we walk through this year, my prayer is that we’ll continue to grow in faith, trusting God’s perfect plan and timing.
 
Thank you for being here, and I can’t wait to dive deeper into this year with you all. 💖

This episode is my tribute to the man who profoundly shaped my faith. In honor of him, today I’m sharing 8 lessons about faith and life that I’ve learned through my Dad’s walk with the Lord, in hopes they inspire you to live and reflect Christ daily.
