We are all familiar with the parable of the talents in Matthew 25 but are we walking it out? Are we investing the things that God has given us in order to multiply them for the glory of His kingdom? Or are we hoarding, being stingy, complaining, procrastinating or being lazy? Listen to this short snippet to get lots of encouragement to make the changes necessary to start bearing more fruit for Christ. And check out the Gritty Faith App, course and journals if you would like to invest more in your faith, which is really what matters the most to Jesus

In this episode I share a testimony of how I went from deeply believing that I was a slave to lust to deeply knowing that I was no longer a slave to sin, any sin! Knowing Jesus comes with knowing who we are in Him and always leads to freedom in sin. If you in any way feel caught in the habit of repeating a sin then this is for you, and a great opportunity to reflect on your relationship with Christ and invest in strengthening and deepening it.

In this episode we explore questions that so many of us have — How do you love someone who doesn't believe what they are doing is wrong? How do you turn away from sin when so much seems to be at stake? What's on the other side of true repentance (turning to Jesus and following Him)? Does Jesus even know what it's like to be tempted? How do we help others fall in love with Jesus? Journey with me through these important questions and please do share your thoughts with me on Insta @grittyfaith.

We've all asked ourself this question. For something as pivotal as our eternity, we do need to be clear on what God says we must do to have the assurance of eternity with Him. Well the explanation is really beautiful and will lead anyone who truly loves Jesus to a place of peace, deeper intimacy and greater commitment to righteousness.

The good news is that we cannot get more faith through our own effort. Faith is a gift. It's something we all have when we are believers in Christ. This podcast explores how we live by faith. It's probably not what you think or have been doing. Learning it blew my mind. But as I always discover, God's design is always better than ours

The root of anxiety is often the need to be in control of our lives. But what would our lives look like if we finally let go and trusted God? Hasn't He been good to us before? In this episode we discuss the causes of anxiety and how we can pursue freedom from it.

As I wait for my husband to return from the hospital after catching the dengue virus I want to share with you my journey of meeting, building a friendship with, breaking up and making up with and finally marrying the man whose love and friendship is unmatched by any other human. I share my tale and bits of encouragement for you whether you are waiting for a husband, currently with someone and journeying towards marriage, or married and want to reignite your friendship and affection for each other. As always, reach out to me on Insta to chat about anything. I'd love to hear your story and pray with you.

In a world where we are constantly told to hate men for their sexual impulses and aggression, it's hard to see and listen to men in order to understand their experience. But we are called to not think like the world, to follow the ways of God, His higher ways, and to be a blessing and help the men in our lives. This podcast might challenge your thinking because of the lies you hear every day, but take it one step at a time and just ponder on it. May you be such a gift to the men around you. May you help to build them up and may you change the world through your decision to consider how they think and feel.

For years I wanted to pursue Jesus with my all but I just couldn't stay committed and faithful to him. I would keep falling into sin and was in an endless cycle of shame and guilt because of it. Finally God let me up a mountain with an old friend who had been involved in some witchcraft at the time and there I spoke directly to Satan, telling him that Jesus alone was my Lord and I was no longer afraid of Him. Everything changed after that...

The previous episode about rejection led me to a truth about myself I haven't confessed and admitted to until now and in a time of repentance this week Jesus revealed to me the extent of that sin that I've carried on since I was a child. What an incredible experience of repentance this was and I just can't wait for you to hear it. I hope it moves you also to take time to ask Jesus to search your heart and repent (turn away from) whatever has been holding you back from flourishing.

Let's talk rejection. This is the realest I've ever been about this area of my life. I usually gloss over it because I'm afraid that if I talk about it it will lead to even more rejection. But I know the power of vulnerability and I know now the purpose of my experiences and what Jesus did through them. For those who are struggling with rejection right now, I pray that this brings you hope and makes you feel loved. Because YOU ARE LOVED.

For the inaugural episode of the Gritty Faith podcast I wanted to share a major part of my testimony, about the sin that so enraptured me and kept me from pursuing Jesus, and about the incredible ways Jesus continued to pursue me despite my failings. It's the most raw I've ever been about this topic but I want you to know that no matter where you are, Jesus can redeem your life.
