Have you ever felt God encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and make new friends? Or have you been longing for godly friendships in your life? On this episode I am joined by three of my friends Cassandra, Cherish and Amanda and we discuss the real life experiences of what it looked like for us going from getting saved, to having a new way of living and realizing we also needed new like-minded companions. We talk about the real longing for deep, rich friendships and how we found this community. We discuss real things such as following our convictions in our friendships and what to do if we don't feel good enough for great godly friendships. All of that is here for you to join on the couch with us. We chose the couch because it's a cozy spot for friends to gather and have real faith based conversations. In real time we bounce ideas off of each other, learn from one another and are edified together in the call to community that God has for us. If you're ready, let's jump in! How to find Cherish Downey on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@CherishDowneyyHow to find Cassandra Hale on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTk16eyjsgM

Hi there friends, on today's episode we continue daily reading through the book of Psalms chapter 6. Please share the podcast with your friends and loved ones that you know could be blessed by this audio bible reading. @AWalkWithFriends Psalm Chapter 6O Lord, don't rebuke me in your anger    or discipline me in your rage. Have compassion on me, Lord, for I am weak.    Heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony.I am sick at heart.    How long, O Lord, until you restore me?Return, O Lord, and rescue me.    Save me because of your unfailing love.For the dead do not remember you.    Who can praise you from the grave?I am worn out from sobbing.    All night I flood my bed with weeping,    drenching it with my tears.My vision is blurred by grief;    my eyes are worn out because of all my enemies.Go away, all you who do evil,    for the Lord has heard my weeping.The Lord has heard my plea;    the Lord will answer my prayer.May all my enemies be disgraced and terrified.    May they suddenly turn back in shame.

Hello there, welcome to AWWF the podcast. On this episode we are reading the book of Psalms chapter 1 and 2. Join us daily in the month of January as we read through the entire book of 150 chapters. Did you know...- The Book of Psalms is sometimes called “Tehillim” which means “Book of Praises” or “Bible within the Bible” because it covers all the major themes of the Bible story.-Jesus Himself used more quotes from the book of Psalms than from any other book.- King David wrote approximately 73 of the 150 Psalms.- The key word in the Psalms is “praise” which appears 211 times- The word “Selah” appears 71 times throughout the Psalms. The most recognized meaning of the Hebrew word Selah is “forever.” It is often interpreted as an instruction calling for a break in the singing of the Psalm, or to pause and calmly think about what you have read;The Book of Psalms may aptly be summarized by 5 key Words:a) Praise: The Psalmist worships, extols, and with heart-felt gratitude, thanks the sovereign God of Israel for His Person, His Word, and His mighty works in regard to both creation and redemption;b) Prophecy: The Psalmist often writes of the coming Messiah, foretelling His zeal, suffering, death, resurrection, ascension, high priestly work, and coming millennial reign;c) Pain: The Psalmist describes in graphic fashion his personal doubts, fears, pain, and problems;d) Petition: The Psalmist offers up many requests, crying out for relief, forgiveness, reassurance, direction, protection and strength;e) Poetry: The Psalmist pens his words in poetic fashion meant to be sung.Info credited to https://psalm91.com/2020/08/10/incredible-facts-about-the-book-of-psalms/

Today's episode is an audio bible reading through the gospel of Mark chapter 3. This is a special series we do as we count down the days to Christmas!Let's enjoy this audio bible reading together today where Jesus heals on the Sabbath testing the hearts of the Pharisees, and the news about His miracles  spread far and wide. Large crowds begin to follow Jesus and He heals many and cast out demons. And Jesus chooses the twelve and commissions them as apostles, sent to preach and given the authority to cast out demons.This gospel is the shortest of all New Testament gospels and is likely the first to have been written, yet it often tells of Jesus' ministry in more detail than either Matthew or Luke.Let's jump in, Merry Christmas!

Peter knows that his time on earth is coming to an end, and so he leaves the believers with important reminders that he tells that they will need to always remember. Peter shares about the Day of The Lord, the returning of Jesus Christ.  One of my most favorite scriptures Peter wrote in this letter, "The Lord isn't really being slow about His promise, as some people think. No, He is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.Join me as we dive into Peters last letter.

The new believers in Thessalonica are facing severe persecution from jews, gentiles and the Romans surrounding them for their faith in the One true King, Jesus Christ.  Paul encourages them to stand fast in the truth that they first received in the middle of this chaos. At this time some deceivers were  rising up and telling the new believers false things about Jesus' return stirring up fear and trouble. As you can imagine this could have easily shaken up any new believer. So Paul writes in care, concern and passion to correct the mistakes, bring clarity and comfort to the new believers. Paul also mentions the GREAT APOSTASY and teaches about why the deceivers were wrong about Jesus' return. The return of Christ is not a trouble for believers, but a wonderful hope and comfort.

Paul's second letter is a response to the reports that the persecution against the Thessalonian believers has intensified. Paul thanks God for their endurance and faith in the face of suffering and reminds the believers that there is a day of rest for them and all believers. However, the ultimate suffering will be for those who deny Jesus, who will be separated from him eternally when Jesus returns with his might angels, in  flaming fire, bringing judgment on those who don't know God and on those who refuse to obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus. Follow along on Instagram: @AWalkWithfriendsConnect through email: marcela.awalkwithfriends@gmail.com

Welcome to #WalkThroughTheWord! Follow for more on instagram @AWalkWithFriends 

Paul is writing the new believers, encouraging them in the faith and reminding them of God's call on their lives on how to live as they look forward to Jesus' return. To live set apart in a culture that at that time was facing rampant sexual immorality. To not live like the gentiles do but to live a sanctified life that honors God. Paul urges the believers to grow more and more in love and aspiration to lead a quiet life to be walk properly toward those who are outside of Christ, showing that they lack nothing. Paul also answers some questions the new believers have about the return of Christ.Follow along on instagram: @AWalkWithfriends

We continue in the Apostle Paul's epistle (letter) to the new believers in Thessolonica. Paul explains why he sent Timothy. Timothy a young follower of Christ, makes the journey to bring encouragement and comfort. Upon Timothy's return, Paul writes this letter and expresses how he longs to see them again. 

Now in Rome, Paul flees persecution from the greek gentiles who worshipped pagan gods and the jews clinging to their traditional faith. Paul sends Timothy back to Thessolonica to check on the believers there calling them the "eklessia' in chapter one. In Paul's love and concern for them Timothy goes to Thessolonica to find out how they are doing, what questions they have and to encourage them in their faith. As Timothy gets back to Paul with good report of the new converts in Thessolonica, Paul writes them a letter. This is where we are finding ourselves, in the beginning portion of Paul's letter to these new believers.

Have you ever wondered what Paul's ministry looked like after his radical conversion from persecuting Christians, to encountering Jesus and his entire life being changed for the gospel of Jesus Christ? We dive deep into context and history to better understand Paul's first epistle and find out. Thessalonians are letters written by Paul to new believers. How exciting to find out how Paul evangelized in the Roman republic.  My prayer for my listeners is we become lovers of God's Word and study ourselves to be approved. Thank you all for joining this deep dive and walking through the Word with me on the podcast. Enjoy!Follow along on instagram for updates: @AWalkWithFriends

The last chapter of the gospel of John. Follow along on instagram: @aWalkWithFriends

The disciples saw Jesus do many other miraculous signs in addition to the ones recorded in this book.  But these are written so that you may continue to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing in him you will have life by the power of his name. John 20: 30-31FOLLOW ALONG ON INSTAGRAM: @aWalkWithFriends

Bonus guest episode with a dear friend, preacher, and brother. This conversation is full of raw honesty. I hope this encourages us all to have honest conversations at the table that so desperately need to be had in the body.  

The disciples finally understand that Jesus knows everything. While they do not yet understand everything as Jesus reveals it to them, they believe. Knowing all they do, and seeing all they have, they cling to every word Jesus is speaking as the prophecy unravels before their eyes, of the Messiah. The disciples are grieving that Jesus is telling them He is leaving, but assures them that it is best He does, because if He doesn't, the Advocate won't come.
