My goal for this podcast is to share the Gospel and teach scripture to you with the help of the Bible and through life experiences. I don't want you to think the Bible is this big confusing book. Each week I plan to break down some scriptures and hopefully teach you something new. The Bible is alive and active so we all might learn something new together. I hope you enjoy!
Merry Christmas! In this episode, we talk about baby Jesus and his life when He was born. Luke chapter 1 and 2 are discussed along with reflecting on Jesus' life and how Mary was such an important piece of His story.
In this episode, we are going to go over some of Psalm 10 and talk about my problem with being prideful. Sometimes we can approach situations with good intentions but then we also can allow our pride to get in the way.
This episode is a sneak peek into the first month of our family's life when we became Kinship guardians of a toddler. If you have seen us around and recognized that we have another child with us, and want to know how that came about, this episode is for you. It is the hardest job we have ever done. However, the goodness that God has shown me in it, is so beautiful. Enjoy!
In this episode, we tackle Acts 16 and go over the journey of Paul and Silas. It's a beautiful story of how God turned hardship for good, brought glory to His kingdom, and shows the simplicity of the gospel.
In this episode, we are talking about Psalm 13. It is a lamenting Psalm that David wrote in his time of suffering. It is such a good Psalm to go to when we are struggling so we can let God have all our feelings but also find the hope in the end of chapter that David gives us.
In this episode, we are talking about Psalm 139:13-24. I recently did a research paper on this section of scripture and was so fascinated with it, I chose to do an episode on it. In the past when memorizing verse 23-24 I started realizing my prayers turned from simple and sweet to dangerous and really digging into my sin and asking God to help me. It is something that has changed my life and I hope to give you the push you need to pray dangerously and watch God work!
In this episode, we talk about God and some of His anger that is shown in the Torah. Moses is one of my favorite biblical persons and he was also best buds with God. I did an assignment on the Tabernacle and was blown away by the events happening at that time, which brings me to this episode. We are going to tackle the Golden Calf and it's not going be pretty. Enjoy! Exodus 32 ** side note, because you know I love those. I was wrong when I mentioned Noah and the Tower of Babel. The Tower of Babel was after the flood. I just wanted to correct myself without having to edit and redo this recording :) **
One day after watching one of the episodes of the chosen, I was in my feels and wanted to record. Literally nothing fancy or scripted. Hopefully this is a little bit of inspiration for you during your day. www.charityfaithlove.com to check out my books!
Don't miss this deep discussion on Maria and I opening up on the time we have each seen a demon before to how we can stand firm against them in our lives. We discuss The Armor of God in dept and break it down easier for us to understand. Ephesians 6:10-20 www.charityfaithlove.com to check out my books!
Depression is a hard subject to talk about. No one wants to bring to the surface what they have shoved down for long extended times. Elijah was a prophet from the Old Testament that knew depression all too well. Being someone who had seen God bring fire from Heaven and then turn and hope to die is intense. So how did he get through it? How do you get through it? 1 Kings 19:1-9 www.charityfaithlove.com to check out my books!
Maria and I discuss the passage in scripture where Jesus sends some demons out from a man and into a herd of pigs. I feel that we can all relate at some point in our lives that we have some demons we need saving from. But once you do allow Jesus to save you, what do others around you think? Are they happy your changed? Or are they upset because it inconvenienced them in some way? Mark 5:1-20 www.charityfaithlove.com to check out my books!

Josue joins me in this episode to discuss the events that led up to Adam's diagnosis and how he processed his emotions after the official diagnosis was made. Josue has a weath of knowledge in the field of children with disabilies and gives helpful tips on programs locally. He gives sound advice on how to keep moving forward even in the hard seasons with kids. www.charityfaithlove.com
This episode is just a casual conversation with three of us moms just trying to make it day by day. We talk about who does the laundry, some tips on cooking, favorite podcasts, and much more. It has lots of laughs and hopefully some helpful tips to moms out there just like us who just want to keep the kids alive and the husbands happy. www.charityfaithlove.com Amazon.com: Charity Dockery: books, biography, latest update
Happy Holy Week! Each year I feel this week hits me different. As my faith continues to grow and I learn more and more about the grace of Jesus, His death is much more powerful. I think as we grown up, each year we are reminded Jesus died for us, but we don't actually understand it. I feel that it can sound just as a story sometimes instead of real-life history. But I am reminded of the love that Jesus has for us, and it makes me so happy that I want to share with others. I want us to remember this as a week of reflection. I want Friday to be a day we sit for a moment and remember what Jesus did for us. I want Sunday to come, and we celebrate that Christ beat death and came back to remind us of His power and love. I hope that you get some of that out of this episode and dig deeper in your own faith this Easter weekend. www.charityfaithlove.com
This episode is focused on Genesis 29:31-35. This is a small glimpse into the life of two sisters, Leah and Rachel. Maria and I dig into this section of scription and try to grasp an understanding of what Leah might have been going through. This section of scripture has a lot to unpack so I recommend reading it on your own. www.charityfaithlove.com Amazon.com: Charity Dockery: books, biography, latest update
Today's episode talks about the time I found out I was pregnant at the young age of fifteen years old. My mom was sweet enough to walk us through what it was like to become a grandmother at the age of thirty-five. It was a challenging time for our family at that moment, but looking back now, we wouldn't have it any other way. www.charityfaithlove.com
*Disclaimer--There are stories and language used in this episode that might not be appropriate for a younger audience. Listener discretion is advised. * In this episode my dad, Weldon, shares his experiences with the military and his time of deployment in Iraq. He goes in detail on what it's like living with PTSD and still trying to live a normal life after coming home. There is so much light to be shed on the difficulties our men and woman go through to fight for us to have a free country. I am thankful to live in a country where others put in so much work to keep us safe. Thank you to all who have served! www.charityfaithlove.com
The transfiguration is such a profound event in the Gospels. It's a time that Heaven and Earth meet through Jesus. Moses and Elijah come down from Heaven to talk with Jesus and be a part of witnessing Jesus transfigure into his heavenly form. It's a complicated but yet so important event. I still have a lot of learning to do but am so in awe of this event. Luke 9:28-36 Sponsor: PC Doc Consulting 979-417-2505 tdockery@pcdocconsulting.com PC Doc ConsultingPC Doc Consulting | La Grange TX | Facebook
Matthew 6:7-15 is the famous Lord's prayer. But I have also heard its actually our prayer to the Lord. Jesus teaches us in this scripture some important things we should be praying for. As we grew up, we memorized it, but have we actually sat down and broke each piece down? I just recently did and it's amazing. I know there is so much more depth that can be added but this is a great started to dig deeper.

This episode we are going to cover a scripture from the Old Testament, Isaiah 40:31. I love this scripture so much because it's such a good reminder of what we can do when we have God at our focus to help us through the different things life will throw at us.

This episode we talk about the temptation that Jesus went through from the Devil. We aren't covering the whole passage, just around Luke 4:6. I, of course, recommend you read the whole section because its good stuff. Getting an earthly gain can feel cool for now but in the end where does it take us? We are going to compare how we are temped every day and how we can overcome that. We discuss what those temptations can look like and how we may not see it now, but it's important to acknowledge them and work through it.

This episode we are going to break down 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. We can easily skim over a scripture but what if we broke it down by each sentence. That is what we are going to do today. We are going to talk about being Joyful in our circumstances, praying every day, and being thankful for what we have.

Listen before reading Chapter One of "Girl, I Got You!"
Humility is hard. Being willing to accept and love people with grace like God does with us, is hard. This episode we are diving into the great story of Jesus washing His disciples' feet. He washes the feet of someone that is ultimately going to help solidify His death. It's such a great reminder to us all to show grace and mercy with people in our everyday lives, no matter if its a struggle. John 13:1-17
I love breaking down scripture to allow me to be able to resonate with the writer. This week, we are going to dig into a Psalm that David wrote while he was struggling. David went through some substantial amounts of hardship, but he was still able to find joy and trust in the Lord. We are going to discuss what it really means to seek the Lord and how that affects us. Psalms 34:4-5
Being busy is considered a normal thing lately. If you are not running around to every event possible, it's like you do not fit it. If you have guests over, it's like you are supposed to be busy the whole-time catering to everyone that you cannot even sit down to enjoy your guests. Today's story talks about just that. Mary and Martha are some sisters that have their priorities a little opposite of each other. Mary wants to enjoy the moment and not worry about the housework. Martha feels that the housework is more important so they guests see how great it looks. Which is correct? Luke 10:38-42
Being a mother is hard. Moses' mother knows exactly just how hard it is to raise a baby during a time that everyone wanted him killed. Her story is unique in the fact that she helps save her baby and also gets allowed to keep him longer than expected. Pharow wanted the Hebrew boys to die, little did he know that one would come live in his house with him. This episode is a small nugget of a reminder that mothering is hard and that's ok. God has our kids set up for bigger and better things than we can imagine. Exodus 2:2-10
This episode is a reading from my book on Anxiety. A substantial amount of people suffers from anxiety every day and it's hard to find a cure. Our minds tend to dictate our day and can make us pretty miserable if we allow it. Satan also loves playing mind games with us, which can cause a lot of destruction in our lives. This chapter talks about how we can find a way to finally overcome it with the help of Jesus.

This episode is going to be about a small amount of struggles Moses faced when bringing God's people out of slavery. It's such a good discussion on ungratefulness and what happens when we become overwhelmed. This is a topic I think we can all relate to and find some hope in God's words. Most of us are carrying a load at some point in our lives that are too heavy, and we need to put it down. We weren't meant to do this alone, and we shouldn't have to. Thats what we are going to uncover in this episode. Numbers 11:4-17 Exodus 3:11 Exodus 16:3-5
We experience temptations every day, some are small, and some can be life changing. What matters is if you give into those temptations or if you are able to be strong in your walk with God and able to ignore them. This episode talks about how Jesus to charge when Satan temped him and what the book of James says about being tempted. Things in life are not easy, but this is something that we can make easy if we are walking with God in our decisions. James 1:12-14 Matthew 4:1-11
Do you ever have days that you feel like you are not practicing what you preach? You have good ideas for others when they are going through hard times, but you don't always follow them yourself? Unfortunately, I am guilty. I wish I wasn't, but I have had my days just like everyone else. This episode talks about some of my struggles I have gone through with trying to practice the words I am telling you all. I am in no way perfect, but I feel like it's something I should confess. I try my best just like everyone else, but I am also human like everyone else. John 11 is discussed in this episode and its one of my favorites. I highly recommend reading it and really studying this section of scripture. There is so many things to unpack in it and I encourage you to do so.
Sometimes it feels like every day we have something we are going through and we can't seem to escape it. We feel alone and try to ask God for help but we don't always feel like he is listening to us. This episode focuses on the armor of God and the importance of it. We don't realize how much we really are up against when we are believers but Satan is constantly at work to bring us down. But we luckily have the Most High one on our side. Ephesians 6:11-18 Matthew 6:7-13 Philippians 4:13
Today's episode is an interview with a dear friend of mine, Aisha Grant. She opens up about one of the hardest times in her life. Losing a child is a parent's worst nightmare. None of us can imagine that pain if we have not been in that situation. Aisha's story is a light in this sinful world of how God can bring you through the worst circumstances. She shares how she struggled but most importantly shares how God is still guiding her through this never-ending journey. There are a lot of different circumstances in our lives that are challenging, and we sometimes question our faith. Aisha's story brings hope that as long as we seek first Him and His kingdom, all other things will be added to us. We do not have to have a list of things we need to complete for God to love us. He is always there, through the easy and hard days, as long as we allow him. Aisha is very soft spoken so be sure to listen closely.
Today's guests include my daughter, Zoey and her friend, Lauren. They answer some hard questions related to God, Relationships, Intimacy, Friendship, and Mental Health. These questions were inspired by my next book I am working on to help answer hard questions for girls that normally we do not want to ask or talk about. *Take note that these answers are biblical and opinionated, so of course, not everyone may agree. That is ok. * My hope with this episode is to help the younger generations to learn and know God and his biblical plans for our lives. Being young is hard; and wanting answers is not easy. As parents, it is sometimes hard and uncomfortable to have these conversations. Hopefully, this episode can be something that younger individuals can listen to and invite more questions in their lives with people that are important to them, to help give them the answers they need to be successful in their future.
The topic of mental health is not an easy one. Not many people are open to sharing their feelings, but luckily my sweet husband opens up for us and shares some of his journey with struggling with mental health. There is nothing wrong with getting help for anxiety, depression, or any other mental emotion you may be feeling. If you were to go to the Doctor for a broken bone, then going to the doctor for mental help is just as important. Its ok to have depression, its ok to have anxiety, but the most important thing is that you realize that and get the proper help so you can get better. People struggling with mental health is outlined throughout the whole Bible, Solomon had a moment where he hated life, Elijah became depressed and wanted to die, Jonah was so angry with God that he asked to die, Paul even went through such hard struggle at times that he didn't think he could handle life any further. But all of these men I named were some of the strongest in the Bible, they had struggles but most importantly they worked through them. You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you, even overcoming depression. Tyler owns a computer business that can help with any computer needs you may have!

Jesus' love and grace shines in the story of the adulterous woman. When others thought they had her caught and tried putting Jesus between a rock and a hard place (get it?..), Jesus proved them wrong and showed her what no one else would. He showed her what he gives us each day, love. This episode is about evaluating ourselves and how we should be more like Jesus in our daily lives. Sometimes, it not what we always want to hear but it's the thing we need at the right time. John 8-1:11 Matthew 22:37-38 1 Corinthians 16:14
As we go through life, we are constantly hit with hard situations and tough days. We may think what we are going through isn't fair. We might feel like we are drowning in life. If we are, how do we fix it? How do we feel like we are completely calm and trusting in God. This episode talks about how Jesus walks on water and how we need to do some self-reflecting and see where our focus actually is. Sometimes we can be our own enemy when we do not have our focus on God. Matthew 14:22-33
We all have seasons in life when we experience situations that didn't go the way we expected. We envisioned it to go a certain way but then it does the opposite. Why? Well, I am not God, so I cannot answer that personally for you. But, of course, I can give you some scripture to reflect on and hopefully help you during a hard time when things don't go as planned. That is what this episode is about. Enjoy! Genesis 39
Maria opens up with us about her and her family's journey of raising her little one, Adam. She discusses the emotional strain she went through when she learned the diagnosis and how it tested her faith. Her vulnerability and advice that she shares is educational and can be helpful to all of us parents. Even if you do not have a child with a disability, I can guarantee you will get your daily dose of Jesus from this episode!
What does it mean for it to be well with our soul? How do we continue to push forward after experiencing hardship? When we, as believers, are able to get to a point in our lives that no matter how hard or painful things might be, we can consider it to be "well with our soul" because we know we can trust God in the plans he has for our lives. We are understanding that this life is temporary, and we are working for our greater reward, eternity with Jesus. We all go through hard times and grieving is completely normal. But allowing yourself to let go of the hard things and allow God to take care of you, can get you closer to a place for you to believe that it truly is well. Jeremiah 29:11 Job Ch. 7 and 8 Job 1:13-22 Acts 1:9-11 Acts 1:8
Do you feel that you are not worthy of God's love? Do you think you have done things so bad in your past that God couldn't possibly love you? This episode talks about how we are loved children of God and we should stop being so hard on ourselves. We are not expected to wait to come to God after we think we are perfect. We are meant to go to God in our hardest times when we need him the most without having our life together. He ultimately is the one who will help us put ourselves together. John 4:7-26 John 7:37-38
In this discussion we are going to talk about one of my favorite men in the Bible, Abraham. The most important part of the whole talk today is for us to actually listen to what God may be telling us and being patient for when that will take place. Abraham was such an amazing man of God but also came up short when it came to being patient on when it was time to have a child. I can related to being inpatient so this was a good story for me to reflect on. I hope you enjoy! Matthew 6:10 Genesis 11:30 Genesis 16:16 Genesis 17:1
Where does your faith lie? Do you consider yourself a believer? This episode is all about you and how you can become saved. Even if you already are, there might be some good reminders to help you continue to grow in your faith. Whether you find God when your happy or when your life is falling apart, the good news is he will accept you know matter what. There is a lot of different scriptures referenced so I wanted to be sure to put them below for you to be able to look up and read on your time. Romans 3:23 Romans 10:9-10 Romans 8:28 Romans 8:26-28 Acts 16:31 Jeremiah 29:12
This first episode I want to give you some background on myself and how I found my faith. I grew up in the church but that does not mean I was able to remain strong in my faith as I had gotten older. This episode talks about my struggles and what it took for me to finally become a believer. It does not matter if you have been a believer as long as you can remember, or if you are just starting to try it out; We are all just normal people trying to make it through this world before we reach Heaven.
