What happens when we put our trust in GOD - and have the FAITH to believe that everything we need will be fulfilled according to his will? Rather than manifesting and believing that we have the power to accomplish these things on our own, why not believe that God is there with us every step of the way, moving mountains and making things happen for our good - even though we can't see it? Last week we talked about the roots and origin of manifestation and why it's harmful as Christians to partake in this cultural phenomenon. This week - we want to encourage you to try FAITH instead. It's tricky, because we live in a society where we have to "see it to believe it." But God never disappoints. He's always working on our behalf, and the results are always greater than what we could ever imagine. STAY CONNECTED WITH US!

It's not a crime to enjoy the nice things in life! We want that car or house, or that perfect marriage or job... so we'll just manifest it, and it will happen, right? Eh, not so much. In this episode, led by Nicole Bethany, we take a look into the origin of the concept of manifestation, how our culture has perceived it, and why it is important to recognize that putting our faith and trust in God will always yield far greater results than believing that we have the sole power to do these things on our own.

In 2021 we're going.. we're going... WHERE THE MONEY RESIDES! *cue dance* But let's talk about it though - what happens when we get so caught up in our finances, or lack thereof? What kind of spirit or energy do we invite into our lives when our focus is on the material things of the world, and not on God - the PROVIDER of all things? The girls delve into this hot topic, and ask the question: Is it about where the money resides, or where your heart resides? STAY CONNECTED WITH US!

If there's anything we can agree on, it's that the world is in need of PRAYER. We believe in the power of prayer, and that along God's word and guidance, change can and will come. If the state of our world, or more specifically, the United States, has got you feeling down, we encourage you to take a listen to this episode as we pray for the elected officials of this country, the anxiety and depression that rests in the hearts of so many as a result of this pandemic, civil unrest on our land, and most of all - the hope that we all are encouraged to seek God during this time. We love you and we pray this blesses you! STAY CONNECTED WITH US!

Are you a “new year, new me” kind of person? Do you make New Years resolutions? Are you setting goals for yourself that you're absolutely determined to fulfill by Dec 31, 2021? This episode is definitely for you! In this week's episode, we chat a bit about how God has blessed us in 2020, what we are looking forward to this year, and how we are preparing ourselves for it! It begs the question - are new year's resolutions even necessary? SCRIPTURE: 1 Peter 3:15-17 Isaiah 43:18 STAY CONNECTED WITH US!

Just like the song says, "He's been so good to me, I cannot tell it all!" In the last episode, we explored the question: Who IS Jesus anyway? Why do we follow him? Today, we invite you to tune in with us as we talk about how God moves through his son in our everyday lives. Our hope is that with our personal stories, you can get a glimpse of just how good he's been to us! SCRIPTURES: Matthew 5:48 STAY CONNECTED WITH US!

This one is for our newer believers just as much as it is for our more seasoned believers. Who is Jesus, really? What does the bible say about him? Why do we celebrate him? What's so great about him anyway? Why do we call him waymaker, miracle worker, and all these other wonderful titles? WELL, the ladies of Plug In invite you to listen in to this episode right here to get your answer! Tis the season to get to know him! Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior, and to put it plainly: we'd be nothing without him. Hang out with us and hear some more from Gabriella, Courtney, Nicole, and Mariah as we dive in the text and explain who Jesus really is to us.

Dealing with temptation? Finding it hard to bounce back after falling for the wrong things over and over again? Ever thought to yourself that you're not worthy of God's love because you keep going down the same wrong path, time after time? The ladies of PLUG IN are here to tell you that WE HEAR YOU. These are conversations we have amongst ourselves DAILY - whether it's dealing with temptation in a moral regard (sexual immorality, substance usage, lying, cheating, etc) or something as mundane as eating that cookie after you told yourself you'd cut back from sweets this week ;) The amazing thing about GOD is that he sees past our faults and still loves us ANYWAYS. He provides a way out for us, every single time. The word is our guide, this episode sheds some serious light on how to use it in order to overcome temptation as it is happening, or better yet, before it occurs. Stay connected with us!

In this episode, our SEASON FINALE (can you believe it?), Mariah Lyttle leads a discussion on how we can use this time in quarantine to sharpen our spirit man in an effort to sharpen our earthly man. As we approach what is believed to be our "new norm," what qualities can you take with you, and which ones are worth leaving behind? From the entire Plug In team, thank you SO much for all the love and support you have given us over the last few months! We cannot put into words how grateful we are. Stay tuned for season 2!

As we begin to wrap up the season, Jessica Brock leads a discussion that is most pertinent to the purpose of this group as a whole... What is that light that we talk about so frequently, and how do we find it? Furthermore, how do we keep it in the midst of the constant darkness that the world bestows upon us every day?

We've all heard the phrase "self-love is the best love," right? While that may be true to an extent, what if we told you that the best love is actually that of the Lord's? In this episode, led by Gabriella Rodriguez, we examine self-love in our current society and culture, how we've dealt with our insecurities - past AND present, and how we have (and will) overcome them, knowing that God has given us everything that we need in life in order to succeed, especially those things that make us unique.

“America was founded on a broken heart.” How can we ever expect to heal if we're not reaching the root of the problem? As Jessica Brock leads this discussion, we invite our listeners to really think about what it means to be empathetic, and how we can all benefit from having a little love in our hearts, especially now.

S1E4: In an age where "instant gratification" is prominent, we tend to forget that our greatest lessons are in the journey, and we can only reap the blessings if we stay patient until the end. In this episode, led by Courtney Long, we take a quick look into the book of Ruth and find how patience is demonstrated in the bible, and how the five of us apply that concept to our lives.

"I don't want to," or "They don't deserve it," or even "They're not gonna change, so why bother?" are all phrases commonly used to negate the concept forgiveness. But what if we told you that forgiving someone should be done in an effort to better yourself, not just the other person? In this episode, led by Gabriella Rodriguez, we take a deeper look into why forgiveness is so important, especially now. Stay connected with us!
