Do Diligence

This is my letter to you if you're waiting for the next big thing or ready to be done with the season you're in. A lot of my life has been spent in discontentment because I wasn't able to control the timing or outcome of the season I was in. The Lord has shown me to let go and trust in His process and sovereignty. He's got my story already written. I hope you can find encouragement in this episode while you wait! Thanks for listening!

We had to split up the episode into a part 2, but this one is still jam-packed and hopefully rich in insight for those of you preparing for marriage. Alexis and her husband, Kyle, talk wedding night expectations, the honeymoon phase, and learning to sacrifice.

In this second part, Alexis and her dad give you a mock version of evangelizing to someone. We bring up different ways you can bring up the things of the Lord and sharing your faith. If this resonated with you or encouraged you, feel free to share it with others & let us know!

In the first part of the topic How to Share Your Faith, Alexis and her dad tackle reasons that might be holding us back from sharing the gospel. Fear of man & persecution, being told that speaking the truth is not effective, & other circumstances sometimes stifle our desire to get out and share the precious truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We go to Scripture to define what the Gospel is and why it's important. Stay tuned for Part 2 where we give you a mock version of evangelizing to someone.

I've been looking forward to the day that I get to be called mom for a looooonnngg time now! While I currently do not have a bun in the oven, I still like to be prepared, whether that be spiritually, mentally, or physically. Over the years I've compiled a little list of things I'd like to accomplish before starting a family and ways I'm preparing my mind, body, & soul to carry a child. This episode lets you in on some of my thoughts and hopefully gives you some ideas if and when you're entering this season of life. We go over prenatals, strengthening your pelvic floor, books, & more!

Let's dive into purpose! This question can lay heavy on our hearts, but we're not shying away from the heavy stuff. Alexis answers the question from a Biblical perspective; we are here to glorify God. This episode touches on depression, anxiety, & how I used to approach this question: Why are we here? Charles Spurgeon Quote: "It would be a very sharp & trying experience to me to think that I have an affliction which God never sent me, that the bitter cup was never filled by his hand, that my trials were never measured out by him, nor sent to me by his arrangement of their weight and quantity." Charles Spurgeon Devotional: To whom be glory forever. Amen. https://www.heartlight.org/spurgeon/1117-am.html Areas we can glorify the Lord: (verses to meditate on) what we watch (Matt. 6:22-23, Heb. 12:2, Ps. 119:37) in our speech (Ps. 63:3, Prov. 4:23-27) in our thoughts (Phil. 4:8, Jer. 17:10) in our work (Col. 3:22-24, Eph. 6:5) in our marriage (John 13:34, Rom. 12:10, Eph. 4:32, Eph. 5:22-23) in our conduct (1 Pet. 2:12, Matt. 5:16) with our bodies (1 Cor. 6:19-20, 1 Cor. 9:27) in our alone time (Prov. 15:3) in our prayer (1 Thess. 5:16-18, Ps. 145:18) Have questions?

In this introduction to the whole of this podcast, Alexis dives into how Christians can best redeem the time we're given by doing the right things. As Christ-followers, our desire is to glorify God and to be faithful stewards of what we're given. We're called to be diligent as we pursue righteousness and serve others. Join the conversation and the challenge to live intentionally and faithfully. C.T.
