That Girl

We live in an age of MORE…but what if more is what's actually killing us? We all know that consuming more than what we need is not a good thing, but having perspective on ALL of the ways we consume can help us to see what is stealing our joy, time, and peace away from us. Listen to todays episode, and be encouraged to consume what the Father has for you! He is our only TRUE fulfillment!

Hello, and WELCOME BACK to THAT GIRL! I'm so happy to be sharing a quick episode with you today after my hiatus! God is on the MOVE, and we want to be moving with Him! It can be hard to move when we feel weighed down by things in life and the weight of this world…BUT God has a plan for you, and He will see you through. Listen to today's episode, and be encouraged to keep your endurance to the finish line!

It's the most wonderful time of the year!! But with all of the hustle and bustle, we can lose sight of the things that are most important. Today I want to encourage you to take some time to slow down, take a breath, and make some traditions with the ones you love. Traditions will last through the years, trending won't. Listen, and be encouraged!

On todays episode we take a look at a “woman with no name”. We can find our identity in MANY things in our lives, but we must have a firm foundation for the basis of WHO we are. I encourage you to listen today, and be reminded that God has your perfect identity found in Him!

I'm back!!! I've been away for too long, but ready to share the goodness of God's Word! When we are “hooked up” to the vine of life, we have His life living within us. We can become exactly who He created us to be when we abide with Him. Listen to todays episode as we talk all about STAYING hooked up to Jesus, and what that looks like in our lives. Listen, share, and BE BLESSED!

Join me today as we dive even deeper into leaning in to the Holy Spirit, Who is the Spirit of TRUTH! We haven't been given a spirit of fear, but of love, and of power, and of a sound mind. Listen today, and be encouraged to LEAN IN all the more!

As the school year approaches, the anticipation of what the year will hold increases. For some it brings excitement, and for some it brings anxiety. But what if I told you that God wants a spot at your school table, and He wants to pour out His grace to you…would that help? Of course it would! And the good news is He wants to be with you, and your child, every step of the way. Listen to todays episode and be ENCOURAGED!!

With so much happening in our world, how do we know who to trust? How can we trust anything that we read, that we see, or that we watch? There is only one sure thing in this world, and that's the truth of Jesus and His Word. Listen to todays episode as we dive deeper into how we navigate trust in a world full of deception. Listen, share, and be encouraged!

We are living in a time like no other with uncharted territory. As Christians, we have a hope that keeps us pressing forward no matter what lies ahead. God has set the standard for us, and in that, we can find our life, we can find our peace, and we can find who God has created us to be. Does God have expectations? Does He call us to live out His standard? Listen to todays episode as we dig deeper in the standard, and boundaries, that God has laid before us. Listen, and be encouraged!

I'm so thankful to be joined by my uncle, and Pastor, to answer question brought in by listeners. We are taking a dive into questions about relationships, grace, and the goodness of God! Listen today and be blessed! Gleaning wisdom is what helps our faith to GROW!

When we talk about prayer, we can feel like we fall short. But what if I told you that God just wants your heart, not your perfect words. Prayer is nothing more than having an open dialogue with your Heavenly Father who loves you more than you know! Prayer keeps us in close relationship with Him, and helps us to stay close to His heart. Listen to todays episode as we dig deeper in scripture concerning our prayer life, and be encouraged!

If I could sit in a room with all of my listeners, today would be the message that I would share! Listen, share, and BE BLESSED!!

We are facing a serious identity crisis in our world and in our culture. The enemy has convinced us that we can find our identity in many things other than the truth of what God says. Jesus paid the ultimate price for you to be able to find your identity in Him, and that identity is a child of the Most High King! Listen to this message as we dig deeper into finding our identity. Listen, share, and be encouraged!

IGNORANCE IS BLISS! We've all heard the saying, right? But I'm here to challenge it today. Does God want us to be ignorant to the times that we live in? Or be ignorant to what His word says? Absolutely not! He has given us His word, and His prophecy, so that we are NOT ignorant in this life. Listen today as we dive into scripture to learn to not be deceived, ignorant, or confused about where we are it. Listen, share, and be ENCOURAGED!

Everyone is talking about the Asbury Revival, and all of the others breaking out. PRAISE GOD! We know that God is moving and it is so exciting! But what happens when the lights go out, and the doors close? We are a generation that praises the wedding, but not the marriage. We are praising the revival, but not what happens in the life of a Christian when they go home. Today we are taking a deeper dive into what we do when the revival is over, and what our job should be. Listen, share, and be ENCOURAGED!

Do you have seasons when your faith seems to wane? I think it's safe to say that we have had that feeling. But the good news is, God ALWAYS remains faithful! Today we are taking a dive into Hebrews to see what His word has to say about keeping faith, even when it seems like we have none left. Faith looks back to see where God has been faithful! It's in those times we can see His hand on our lives, and our faith is BUILT! Listen today, and be encouraged!!

Have you ever felt like you don't know what to pray, or even how to pray? I know I have! But what does God say about prayer? Is there a perfect prayer? There is so much truth, and so much encouragement found in God's word that help us to see what true prayer is! Dig deeper with me today on the topic of the PERFECT PRAYER.

Join me this week as we dig deeper into surrendering to God's will for the new year. Surrender takes trust, and trust takes faith, and to build our faith we must get to know God more. The only way to get to know Him more is by READING HIS WORD. Today we will walk through the beginning of Ephesians to start building our faith in order to follow God's plan and purpose for us in this new year. Listen, share, and be ENCOURAGED!

It's the new year!! Have you already started your resolutions? God is encouraging us to invite Him into this new year, to invite us into all of the things that we want for this year. God's plan for us is perfect. If we seek first HIS plan for this new year, we can much more easily become all that we want to be, and all that He needs us to be! His word is where true transformation takes place, it's where true resolutions begin. We make make plans, but God directs out steps. Listen to todays episode, and be encouraged to let Him take the lead in this new year!

Are you or a loved one experiencing sickness or disease? As we enter the Christmas season, satan will use every tool he has to steal, kill, and destroy. One way he does that is through sickness, BUT we have a PROMISE through the finished work of Jesus! We can receive the healing that Jesus paid for once and for all on the cross. We can line our words up with you what God says, because He has the final say! Listen to todays episode, and be encouraged to hold on to the promises of God!

This Christmas season can look different for all of us, and sometimes it can feel stressful and lonely. Satan only wants one thing, and that's to steal your joy and destroy you. But God wants to write a different story for you for THIS season, and every day! The language of a Christian is gratitude…while it can be difficult to be thankful in hard times, we can always be thankful for the finished work of Jesus! Listen to todays message and be encouraged to KEEP YOUR JOY!

There is so much happening all around us, but it's not happening to us! God has so much to say about the times we're in, and He expects us to hear Him, and Him only! We have a lot of things that are trying to get us to live by our emotions, but that's not what God has called us to. Today we are diving deeper into scripture to answer some questions about the many “prophets” that are rising up in these last days, and what that means for us. Listen, and be encouraged!!

Have you ever felt far from God? Do you sometimes feel alone? I know I have had those feelings in seasons of my life, and today I am sharing an encouraging word to not stay in that place. God's word told us that He would never leave us, and He would never forsake us. It's time that we turn those worrying words into powerful prayers!

As the world sinks deeper into darkness, the lies of the enemy become stronger. The things of this world become easier to grab ahold of. So, how can we tell a truth from a lie? How can we know truth when we see it? How can we not fall for the schemes of satan? The Bible tell us the our adversary is the father of lies, and that's all he knows. But one thing he's good at is wrapping up lies in pretty packages to make us think it's truth. Because if this, we MUST be knowledgeable in the truths of Jesus! We cannot serve the world and God at the same time…Jesus is THE way, THE truth, and THE life. Listen to todays episode and encouraged!

We have an identity crisis happening in our world. While we can question who we are, we can be reminded that our foundation starts with the fact that we are children of God! God is not confused about who you are, or whose you are! In order for us to walk out the plan and purpose that God has for us in this life, we have to remember who we are and act like it. We are his beloved, most prized possessions! He loves you!! Listen today, and be encouraged!!

In this life people will come, and they will go. Situations in life will change like the winds, but that doesn't mean that God still doesn't sit on His throne. Sometimes life is like a hurricane, but if we keep our eyes on Jesus, we can walk on the water with Him. As the times are changing, and we see the day of our Lord coming, He has shown us things that will happen…we will take a closer look at one of those signs today. Have a listen, and be encouraged!

Are there things in life that weigh you down, or keep you from fulfilling your purpose? I think we could all say that we have something that keeps us from being our best, BUT God has called us to lay aside EVERY weight that keep us from running our race. We are not called to do this thing alone! As we see THE DAY approaching, we are called to “get light” and run our race with endurance! It's by HIS STRENGTH that we stay the course! Listen to todays episode, and be encouraged!

In a time where the “truth” is all around us, we need to be grounded in what God says. But with so much being thrown at us everyday, how do we know what is true? What if the truth doesn't make us feel good, how do we handle that? Well, God never leaves us to figure things out on our own. He always has something to say, and always has THE TRUTH! Listen to todays episode, and be encouraged!

Are you happy? I think that is a question we can ask ourselves more often than we'd like to. The problem is, we often times, place our happiness in the hands of other people, or in our circumstances. We only feel happy if someone else makes us happy. But what if I told you, YOU HAVE THE POWER! You are the one in control of your happiness! You have the power, to make a decision every day to be happy! Listen to this weeks episode, as we dive a bit deeper into the topic of HAPPINESS! I believe you will be encouraged!

Can you believe the school year is upon us? As we begin to send our children to school, we need to invite Jesus into the school year with us. We are the parents, we have the final say, and we are training our children in the way they should go. Listen to todays episode, and be encouraged to take a deep breath, and enjoy this year with your kids!

Has the state of our economy and inflation had you feeling fearful? It's easy to feel the burden of our finances, and making ends meet, but we have a PROMISE in Jesus! He is our Jehovah Jireh! When we trust in His promises, we can receive all that He has for us! Listen to todays message, and be ENCOURAGED!

On today's episode, I want to encourage you to use the voice that you've been given. God has chosen you, appointed you, and given you all that you need to be able to speak His truth boldly! There are many “truths” out there, but there is only ONE truth, and His name is Jesus! Listen today, and be encouraged!

Does the mundane of your everyday life get you feeling less than blessed? I know it does me, but this is when we need a heart check, and a position change! It's time we start calling out the blessing of our lives, instead of blaming a burden. It's our attitude, and words, that will change our lives! Let's get the right perspective so we can live the BLESSED life that God has for us!

Can you believe we are HALFWAY through the year? I know I can't! In the beginning of the year, God gave me a phrase to ponder for the year, but it was time to reevaluate how things are going. How have the last 6 months been for you? Do you have plans for the next 6 months? I encourage you to listen today, and take control of the 2nd half of the year! This can be your best year yet, even when we are halfway through! God hasn't changed His mind about you, you can KEEP GOING!!

Are you afraid? Are you overwhelmed? There are SO MANY things happening in our world that will make us immediately feel afraid, but there is an answer to our fear! God is more than enough. He is our ever present help in time of need. Through Him you are more than an over comer! So if you're feeling afraid, anxious, and overwhelmed, listen to this message and be encouraged to TRUST HIM!

We know the wind, the waves, and the storms of life will come, but what happens when they do? Is your house still standing when the storm is over? Jesus called us to build our house on THE rock. He is the firm foundation of our lives! So, where is your house built?

Have you ever given up before you've even started? I know I have! We find ourselves feeling ill equipped and unqualified to do what God is called us to do. But the good news is, ITS NOT ABOUT US! It's all about who God is for us! If He has called you to it, He will see you through it! Listen to todays episode and be encouraged to NOT GIVE UP!

“If the door doesn't open, it must not be your door.” Have you ever said that, or heard that? I know I have! But I'm here to beg to differ with this statement. What if I told you there is blessing in making your own door, what if I told you that sometimes we are expected to make our own door? Would you be willing to do it? I pray that after you hear this message, you'll be encouraged to start ripping the roof off!!

Do you need an exodus in your life? The children of Isreal were given a promise of freedom in a land of blessing, but their feelings of being uncomfortable kept them from receiving what was theirs, and what was promised. Have you ever done that?…Missed out on a blessing because your own flesh got in the way? I know I have, but we don't have to stay there. We have to REMEMBER our promise, and our FREEDOM! We must change our mentality!!

Have you ever needed a pep talk? Or maybe you're the one always giving the pep talk…either way, we all know that feeling of needing, and wanting to be encouraged! Today, I'll be encouraging you to be bold in a time when everything wants to shut you up! There's no time for that! So here's your PEP TALK!

Do you have flowers and plants beginning to bloom? Isn't it incredible that nature doesn't wait for the perfect conditions to begin to bloom? Well, we can't either! It doesn't matter what season you just came out out. It doesn't matter what the ground looks like. We don't have to worry about the ground conditions, God does that. We just have to start to BLOOM!

Spring is upon us, can you feel it? In the same way that we experience the change of seasons on earth, we experience the seasons of change with God. We are entering into a new season with our Creator, and it's time that we not only survive this new season, but THRIVE! While the world may seem dark, God's light is shining brighter than ever before! Will you be a part of what He is doing? Don't be overwhelmed by the dark, but be fulfilled by the light!

What do you need today? Whatever you need, or want, is found in Jesus. If you have received Him, you have received the fulfillment of your need! You can never out take God! His supply is always greater than your demands! If you are feeling spiritually low, listen to this message and be FILLED by the GREAT I AM!

Have you ever felt like the prodigal son? Always running, and never feeling worthy enough to come home... We have to remember that it's His great love that brings us home! We don't have to stay gone, and beg God to redeem and accept us. We just have to come home, and allow God to love us in the perfect way that He does. Listen to this message, and be encouraged to COME HOME!

Are you worried? Are you angry, stressed, irritated....? What if you worshipped instead of worried? What if you prayed about your situation more than you talked about your situation? I know that if I can bring things to Jesus, and give Him my attention, my situation seems to change, and He gifts me His peace. Listen to today's message, and be encouraged!

Do you have understanding? Do you have the light of the understanding? God has a place for you in every area of your life, but in order for us to take our place, we must first understand the truth of God's word. How do we do that? It's starts with having a relationship with Jesus, and then finding a church that the truth, and light, of understanding is being preached! Is it enough to just go to any church? Find out what God's word says about taking our place in that light!
