    You probably clicked this thinking you were about to hear some juicy details about an affair. But here's the truth—adultery isn't just physical. I committed adultery in my mind, heart, and actions when I ran back to old mindsets, tried to toe the line with my past habits, and chose self over sanctification.Marriage isn't just about love and companionship—it's a tool God uses to refine us, expose us, and make us more like Christ. And let's be real… sanctification is painful. In this episode, I'm opening up about:

    I came clean to my husband..

    In this deeply personal episode, I open up about a pivotal moment in my marriage when I came clean to my husband about the residue of my past life that was still present and affecting us. I share how this residue consumed emotional capacity, creating a barrier to genuine emotional connection with my husband. The Lord convicted me after watching the movie "Parallel", revealing how I was attempting to live in two realities simultaneously: my old life of pain and patterns, and my new life in Christ. This duality caused confusion and disconnection—not only in my marriage but also in my spiritual journey. Join me as I unpack the lessons God taught me about the dangers of clinging to the past while striving to walk in the freedom of the present. Through transparency and scripture, I'll explore how to truly declutter the remnants of our old lives and make space for the emotional and spiritual intimacy God desires for us to experience in our relationships and with Him. This is an episode about honesty, healing, and embracing the fullness of the new life God has given us. If you've ever felt torn between who you were and who God is calling you to be, this episode is for you. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/narkelia-carr/support

    Have you ever prayed for something and felt like life took a turn in a completely unexpected direction? In this episode, I share my personal experience of hiring a personal trainer and how the exercises she gave me caused unexpected pain in areas I wasn't focused on. It's a powerful analogy for how God sometimes works in our lives—addressing areas we didn't expect in order to prepare us for the breakthroughs we're praying for. Sometimes, the work God does feels uncomfortable, but it's always purposeful. We'd love to hear your thoughts! Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

    love don't cost a thing ⎮ romans 8:37-39

    Play Episode Listen Later Oct 21, 2024 25:00


    In this heartfelt episode, I share a personal story about planning my husband's birthday and how God used this experience to teach me a profound lesson about love. I realized that I was trying to express my love through material possessions, thinking that gifts and grand gestures would communicate the depth of my feelings. But God showed me that love goes beyond what we can give or do—it's about the heart behind it. This revelation didn't just apply to my relationship with my husband, but also reflected how I sometimes approach my relationship with God. I had been subconsciously trying to earn God's love, thinking that I needed to do more to receive more of His love. But the truth is, God's love for us is unconditional, unfailing, and limitless—there is nothing we can do to make Him love us more or less. Join me as we dive into Romans 8:37-39 and explore the power of God's love. We'll discuss how we can break free from the mindset that we need to "earn" love, and embrace the truth that we are already fully loved and accepted by our Heavenly Father. This episode is a reminder that God's love isn't something we can buy, bargain for, or lose—because love doesn't cost a thing. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/narkelia-carr/support
