The Beautifully Enough Podcast - a weekly devotional for Christian women

Hey friends!  On today's episode, we go back to the basics and ask ourselves "what does it mean to be a real Christian?" When was the last time you thought about that? What does it really take to be a Christian and be saved? 

Hey friends! On today's episode, we are going to focus on Galatians 1 and 2. And I really want to focus on challenging you to do an inner inventory of your faith. Ask yourself, "am I blending my faith with the world?" In other words, are you allowing yourself to blend or bend your faith to allow things in that are not righteous and of God? Is your source of faith and morality the one True God? Or do you allow the voices of culture, celebrities, and the world convince you that certain things are "ok"?

Hey friends! Hope you had an amazing Easter and Happy Resurrection Day!! Today, I wanted to adlib and give some of my unedited thoughts on the cross and why it's the single most important thing about our faith. More specifically, have you ever thought more deeply about the phrase "Jesus died on the cross for our sins"? Like what does that even mean?! Let's chat about it today!

*Correction: There were 6 deaths in the tragedy in Nashville, not 9 like stated on the episode.   Hey friends. This week has been a dark one with the tragedy in Nashville. It has brought the question "why God?" And honestly, I can't really answer that for you. But, I can tell you what I have learned...and that is this world is temporary. And it's time we start blaming evil and darkness for the evil and darkness in the world. God has a plan. We may not understand it. It sometimes is an unimaginably painful plan. But, this world is temporary and it is not our forever home. And friendly reminder, evil might look like it wins here on earth, but they absolutely lose in the very end!

Yep. We are going there today. If God is so good and loving, why does He send people to hell? Hoping this episode helps you!

Hey friends! I am feeling better and back with another episode for you! On today's episode, we are going to dive into what mercy means. And my goal today is to help you grow your perspective on mercy and grace. How God's mercy is big enough to cover any size of sin, not just yours. I see it so many times where "Christians" live thinking their sin isn't as bad or wicked as someone else's sin to the point where it can make unbelievers feel that God's mercy isn't big enough for their sin. That someone they are too far gone and have done too many bad things to be saved. But that is totally not true! So I want to dive into mercy today, and help us remember that God's mercy isn't just for a select few with "minor sins", but it's for ALL who call on the name of Jesus.

Hey friends! Today, I get one a little soapbox and we chat about how the Bible is sooooooo much more than a place for temporary spiritual Band-Aids for our wounds and struggles. We go into Proverbs 2, Ephesians 4, and Hebrews 5 and challenge ourselves to grow our perspective of the Bible and it's true purpose: to grow our faith and help us become better teachers of the gospel so we can disciple others well. 

Hey friends! It has been a crazy heck of a week in my life. And, unfortunately, I was not able to get a new episode recorded. But fear not! I am replaying an oldie but goodie about how to not be anxious (because you can't ever talk about not being anxious too much, can you?!) I pray I am back on track next week! Love you all bunches!

Today, we are in Mark 14, when Jesus goes to the garden of Gethsemane. This is where He is full of sorrow and deep distress, to the point of crying tears of blood. What could have caused Jesus to feel such deep sorrow? Perhaps you are feeling deep sorrow, too. This episode of a reminder of two things: 1) Jesus went through every joy and pain and sorrow that you will go through in life. He was fully God but, also, fully human. He felt joy and pain. And this passage is a reminder of that. Our lives won't be pain free because Jesus' life wasn't pain free. 2) We put a lot of focus on the temporary. But I want to remind you that this world and this body is temporary. The pain and sorrow you are going through, even if it feels like it has lasted an eternity, is, in fact, temporary. It will eventually end. And, as believers, we need to remember that our pain here is valid, but we have a promise of something so much more beautiful that this world: heaven!! And that is having an eternal perspective.    Resources www.valreynolds.com Connect with me info@valreynolds.com Follow me @val_reynolds

On today's episode, we are in Mark 9:14-29. In this passage, we find a father who is seeking healing for his son, who is demon possessed. Spoiled Alert: Jesus does, in fact, heal the boy. But that's not the point I want to make today. Today, I want to focus on the father and some simple words he says..."help me overcome my unbelief." Have you ever struggled with unbelief? Don't lie. lol Let's be real. We all, at some point, can say we have struggled with unbelief. Just like this father. So let's learn what to do in our moments of unbelief and how God is the strength we need when we are weak.  Resources www.valreynolds.com Connect with me info@valreynolds.com Follow me @val_reynolds  

Hey friends! Welcome to Season 4 of God Is Within Her!! On today's episode, we are going to reflect on our hunger for God and His Word. It is a little too easy to become dependent on someone feeding you His word but yet we never develop the hunger to fed ourselves. Yet the Bible says that we should be hungry and thirsty for righteousness. We should have the desire to seek it out on our own. Does this mean we can't supplement with sermons, podcasts, or seek the advice of someone who is more mature in their faith? Absolutely not! But we do need to develop the desire to seek it out on our own, when no one is there to teach us. Because the best teacher we can have is the Holy Spirit Himself. If you have Him, you have everything you need.    If you love this podcast, please consider pledging just $1 a month to help keep God Is Within Her on the air. https://patron.podbean.com/Godiswithinher Resources www.valreynolds.com Connect with me info@valreynolds.com Follow me @val_reynolds

Hey friends! Welcome to the final episode of Season 3 of God Is Within Her. We will return after the holidays and New Year! Today we are in 1 Chronicles 21. David, who is coined "a man after God's own heart", isn't a sinless man. Honestly, if David were a modern man, I don't think many of us would look up to him the way we do in the Bible. Just being honest...but David gives us so many lessons on how to truly be a man, or woman, after God's own heart. How he sins, yet repents, and still strives to be obedient to God.Support the showWork with me // www.valreynolds.comConnect with me // @val_reynoldsCollab with me // info@valreynolds.com

Hey friends! Today,  we tackle a hard question that we sometimes will just plain avoid. We might be embarassed to ask the question. Or we might think we are a bad Christian if we ever entertain this question. But sometimes, doesn't it feel like God is unfair? Like why do some people have the dreams you have? Why hasn't God answered your prayer like He has for other people?? How come you feel like your prayers have gone unanswered and life is a struggle, and yet another person's life looks picture perfect and full of blessing and easy street?Well...the answer might not be what you think? *hint* It's less about fairness and more about generosity. Support the showWork with me // www.valreynolds.comConnect with me // @val_reynoldsCollab with me // info@valreynolds.com

Hey friends! If anyone has had a rough week and, perhaps, gotten behind on time with God, this episode is for you.I struggled this past week between work and sick kids. I didn't sleep well at all. Just a couple of hours a night. This made me skip my early morning alarms and my morning quiet time 4 out of the 5 days last week. It left me feeling physically, mentally and spiritually drained. My cup was very empty. So empty, I barely even recorded this podcast. But then God gave me the message to share: share about how sometimes life happens, we aren't perfect humans, and sometimes we have to show ourselves grace in certain moments or even seasons in our life. So that is what today's episode is about. Show yourself grace. Don't abuse the grace and allow it to turn into excuses. And let's get determined enough to get back on the horse tomorrow. Support the showWork with me // www.valreynolds.comConnect with me // @val_reynoldsCollab with me // info@valreynolds.com

Hey friends! Today's passages are in Romans 3 and 5. We chat about the balance between being confident in your faith and salvation, but not allowing that confidence to turn into arrogance and pride. We also chat about staying humble in our faith, but not allowing ourselves to become self-deprecating that we feel like we are too messed up for God's grace.  I call it being humbly confident in our faith. Support the showWork with me // www.valreynolds.comConnect with me // @val_reynoldsCollab with me // info@valreynolds.com

Hey friends! This is a common question I get in my DMs quite a bit. I am so proud of so many of you for starting a new routine and dedicating time daily to reading your Bible. But there are some days you just didn't feel like you got anything out of it. It felt a little dry and you are struggling to apply it to your everyday life.

Hey friends! Today we are in Romans 14, a passage where Paul tackles the issue of what he calls "disputable matters". These disputable matters are essentials matters that are not black and white in the Bible and leave room for personal conviction from Holy Spirit for us to use discernment to determine what is best for us and our families. Now, personal convictions are not just "my truths" or "my opinion". Personal convictions still must not contradict God's will and design. But they are also not clear, black and white Biblical principals either such as the resurrection, certain things being clear sin, etc. And we must be careful with making sure we are not confusing our personal convictions as Biblical principals for all to follow. There are many areas where Christians can agree to disagree. In the end, we must remember we are all on Team Jesus and we shouldn't let these disputable matters divide us as a church. Support the show

Hey friends! Today we are in 1 Chronicles 1. I know it's not the most common passage to read and, if you've ever read 1 Chronicles, you might be asking yourself "what in the world can we learn from a bunch of genealogy lists?" Because that is essentially what 1 Chronicles 1-9 are: genealogies that go all the way back to Adam and Eve! So what does this have to do with us in modern times. I promise I have a reason! Turn in to find out!!Support the show

Hey friends! On today's episode, I challenge you and your faith. We dive into what the word faith really means. And I want you to become aware of any points in your faith where you are not led by your hope in the unseen (=God) but you're easily influenced by what you can see. Your circumstance. Your situation. Is your faith strong when life around you is going great? And does your faith waiver when all you see is struggle and hardship? Remember, faith is hope in what we do NOT see. Our faith should not be influenced by what we can see around us. That's not true faith at all. Support the show

Hey friends! If you are a listener from the very first episode, you would know that episode 1 of this podcast is titled "Feeling Unqualified". And it's an episode were I share my vulnerability and how, when I started this podcast, I didn't feel qualified to do it. I didn't feel like I had the knowledge. I didn't feel like I was a teacher of the word. I felt like there were so many others more qualified to do this than me. But, I wanted to be obedient to what God told me to do. So I did it anyway. Here we are. Almost 3 years later, 1.5 million downloads later...you would think I would be over the fear of feeling unqualified.And you would be wrong.  Recently, I received a message in my inbox of someone asking me why only 3 years of really getting serious about studying my Bible made me qualified to teach. And this message really made me question myself all over again. And I thought about it long a hard and here is what I realized. It's not the amount of years you've been a Christian that makes you qualified to share God's Good News. It's God's grace that He gives freely once you declare Jesus as your Lord and Savior that qualifies you! God qualifies you! And I want to bring encouragement to anyone who is struggling with feeling like "who am I to share about Jesus?" You are a qualified, beloved daughter of the King, sis. That's all the qualification you need!Support the show

Hey friends! On today's episode, I give you a reminder that our lives as Christians are to serve and honor God, not ourselves. It is very easy to get caught up into the "me me me" cycle. We can slip into a faith that isn't so much based on God being sovereign and holy, but one where God is simply here to serve me and make my life easier. But there are two things wrong with that ideology: 1) We are never promise an easy and struggle free life as believers.2) God isn't here to serve us. We are here to serve Him. So join me as we self-reflect on our faith and let's find those areas in our faith where, perhaps, we are a little selfish and need to fix our eyes back on serving Jesus instead of ourselves. Support the show

Hey friends! On today's episode, we tackle a super sensitive topic of how to keep a strong faith and conquer jealousy in the middle of facing personal struggles like infertility, singleness, financial struggles, *insert your personal struggle*.  And I just loved the vulnerability of this question because it takes bravery and courage to even ask this question.  To see your struggle but still want to know how you can turn to God and make it through this. WARNING: I do offer tough love here. So if this is a sensitive topic to you and you're not yet ready for tough love, then hold onto this episode for another day.

Hey friends! Today we are in Leviticus 11 and we discuss the Levitical Laws of clean and unclean foods. Do we still need to follow those laws today?

Hey friends! On today's episode, we go to 1 Kings 18 and 19 and study the prophet Elijah (one of my faves!) as we tackle this lie that we are fed by the enemy: that somehow struggling with depression and mental health means we have no faith and we are letting God down.

Hey friends! On today's episode we will be in Ephesians 4: 17-24 as we tackle our inner emotions that are trying to tell us we are doing something wrong when following Jesus is hard. Have you ever felt that way before? You deep down have a yearning for following Jesus more closely, but whenever you make steps towards Him, you feel opposition. You battle voices in your head telling you that you're not doing it right and if you were doing it right, it would be easier. You would understand the Bible better if you were doing it right. Etc. etc. This episode is to help you see past those lies. We aren't promised smooth and easy lives as Christians. But what we are promised is hope, peace and eternal life in heaven. Hey friends!

That is all Judas was willing to take to give Jesus over and betray Him?"But then it got me thinking...what is my version of 30 pieces of silver? What in my life do I value more than Jesus?

Hey friends! On today's episode we tackle the topic on forgiveness again. This time we are in Matthew 19. Jesus gives us a parable about a master and a servant. How the servant owes a huge debt and how the master shows huge grace and compassion to forgive the debt. But then the servant goes and is unforgiving of a friend's debt to him. -- This parable is an example of our huge debt we cannot pay back to God due to our sins. And yet His mercy is just lavished on us and our slates are wiped clean through Jesus Christ. And yet we don't hesitate to hold a grudge against another who has hurt us. Yes, the hurt was real. Yes, they don't have to be in your life. But this parable will put in to perspective why Jesus commands us to forgive one another, because we are forgive by God for our sins.Would you like to have access to even more in-depth and exclusive Jesus-based content?

Hey friends! On today's Throwback Thursday episode, we reflect on our heart posture and ask ourselves, "do we have a thankful heart or a complaining heart?" I feel like we all want to have a thankful heart and we will argue that we do! But really be honest with yourself. Do you lean more towards being a complainer and a grumbler?

Hey friends! On today's THROWBACK THURSDAY episode, I help you so some self-reflection of your habits: the good and the bad ones. Sometimes habits are so sneaky and silent, we don't even realize how detrimental they are to our faith! Our bad habits can be so common place, even to the point where we just think "that's how we are" or "that is just who I am!" But is it really? Is it really how God created you? Perhaps there are some bad habits you have been in agreement with for far too long and they are holding you back from really transforming and maturing in your faith.

Hey friends! On today's episode we THROWBACK to when the podcast was called The Beautifully Enough Podcast. We cover this word offense. It's so easy to be offended in today's world. There is always someone disagreeing with us, telling us that we are wrong, trying to start a comment war. Social media doesn't help this issue, does it? And yet, what does the Bible say about taking offense? I find too often, that we are ok with just living offended. Everything offends us and we feel it necessary to constantly try to convince others they are wrong. But in your attempt to correct, are you sinning in other areas like pride, arrogance, unkindness, lacking compassion?

Hey friends! In today's THROWBACK THURSDAY episode, I pull one from when the podcast was titled The Beautifully Enough Podcast. We go back to the story of Rachel and Leah and how they both were married to Jacob. And in the middle of their story, we find some sister rivalry going on. Both pine for Jacob's affection but Jacob truly only has eyes for one. This leads to major comparison and jealousy. Do you struggle with those things too? Do you constantly compare yourself to people on social media or TV? Well, perhaps it's because you've made an idol out of them. Time to refocus and fix our eyes on the One and Only Heavenly Father.

Hey friends! Today is THROWBACK THURSDAY!  And you are listening to an episode I did back when the podcast was originally titled "The Beautifully Enough Podcast". The original title of this episode was "being faithful in the little things". And what I meant by that was: we know to bring our big things to God, right? We know to bring our "mountains" and  "goliaths" to God. But what about the small stuff? Do you ever feel like the small stuff is too small for God to handle? Like you should be strong enough to handle the small stuff on your own, right? But see, God is not that kind of god. He is a God that wants ALL of you. ALL of your struggles: big and small! So be faithful to give Him even the smallest of struggles. He is happy to help guide you through those, too.

Hey friends! On today's episode we expand on James 1:22 where it says, "Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says." And I won't lie, I used to not like this verse a lot. Why? Because it calls you out! It would call me out! It would remind me of the things in my life that I knew I was doing that brought God sorrow and was against His word...and yet I was still choosing to do them anyway.  So that is what we are going to talk about today: what is our lives are we still allowing that we believe are ok, but deep down we know they go against His word.

Hey friends! In today's summer Throwback Thursday episode, we go all the way back to an episode I did right at the start of covid and the pandemic. Anxiety was high. Negative news was all we heard. Fear was high. And I felt God telling me to remind everyone where our eyes should be fixed. Our eyes had become so fixed on all of the darkness and death around us, no wonder we were struggling with anxiety, fear and worry! But scripture tells us to fix our eyes on HEAVEN. To fix our eye on what is EXCELLENT and PRAISEWORTHY. So, while we might not be quarantined any longer, we might still have a bad habit of being hyperfocused on the negative and bad around us. And I am here to help you break that habit.

Hey friends! In today's episode we will be in Matthew 12:1-14 where the Pharisees try to trap Jesus and His disciples by calling them out for "working" on the Sabbath. Jesus gives them a response of "I desire mercy not sacrifice." So...what does that mean? It means that Jesus desires your heart over the rules you followed. The Pharisees are a prime example of people who, outwardly, followed the "rules" and did what wad right. And yet in their hearts, they sinned. They judged unrighteously. They were prideful. They were self-seeking.  And they totally missed the greatness and power right in front of them that was Jesus Christ! Jesus wants your heart. And when He genuinely has it from you, you naturally will do works and produce good fruit. But it all comes from a relationship with Jesus. What is your faith more like: a relationship? Or one that is just a set of rules?Check out my website for e-workbooks, courses, apparel,  and info on God Is Within Her Mentoring Community and 1-on-1 Faith + Mindset coaching for women with me!Work with me // www.valreynolds.comConnect with me // @val_reynoldsCollab with me // info@valreynolds.comSupport the show

Hey friends! In today's summer Throwback Thursday, we go back to my very first episode done over new age, manifesting, and why Christians should NOT be messing with it! It might be spiritual in nature, but spiritual doesn't always mean Godly. Our enemy is really good as disguising himself as an angel of light and manifesting is one way we can let him in.  And we need to have our armor on when it comes to this demonic practice.

Hey friends! In today's episode we go to Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 2:4-7 to get a better understanding of who God really is. Yes, you might know a little about God. You might see God as your Heavenly Father and accessible to you. You might see God as powerful, scary and untouchable. I want to remind you today that He is BOTH. And we are to respect and revere His Majesty but at the same time find comfort and peace that He is always with us. It's a beautiful balance between the two.

Hey friends! Welcome to our summer THROWBACK THURSDAY episode! In today's episode, we go back to an episode from my relationship series back in 2020. We chat about having a God-centered marriage, what that means and looks like, why it's important to have God at the center of marriage, and what to do if your spouse is an unbeliever.

Hey friends! Today we are in Matthew 13:1-9 where Jesus tells us the parable of the sower. In this parable, we describes a farmer who scatters his seeds and they fall on for different types of soil. Some of the seeds grow. Some don't. And some are extremely fruitful! The seeds represent hearing the Good News and the plants that grow (or don't grow) represent our faith! The question is, how is your faith plant growing? Or has it stalled out? Is it being choked out?

Hey friends! Welcome to our Throwback Thursday Episode this week! Today, you are going to hear Episode 39: "It's Time To Release Your Control, My Fellow Control Feak". (And you'll hear the old podcast title: The Beautifully Enough Podcast!) Let's chat about how our desire to control everything in our life is rooted in our fear and, ultimately, our distrust that God is good. Because it's one thing to say that you believe God is good all the time. But it speaks a totally different heart posture when we don't have the actions that show we actually fully trust Him and His promises.  Check out my website for e-workbooks, courses, apparel,  and info on God Is Within Her Mentoring Community and 1-on-1 Faith + Mindset coaching for women with me!Work with me // www.valreynolds.comConnect with me // @val_reynoldsCollab with me // info@valreynolds.comSupport the show

Hey friends! On today's episode, we are in Matthew 11:28-30. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”You know this passage. It's a go-to when we are feeling sorrowful and heartbroken. And yet, I think we take it for granted. I don't think we truly understand the action required in this passage. Even I am guilty of reading this passage and just skimming the surface of the power behind it. We read this for quick comfort when it is so much more than that! This is not just a quick-fix passage or a bandaid to help us heal. This is a powerful, actionable, message on how we can have comfort always! All the time! Because of Jesus!

Hey friends! On today's episode, we are in Matthew 10:32-39. In this passage, Jesus is teaching his disciples how to be disciples, what it means to be a disciple, their responsibilities...and how being a follower of Christ means seeking after the Kingdom and not the world. Have you heard the TobyMac song "I don't want to gain the whole world and lose my soul?" That's what we are going to talk about, but we are going much deeper than fame and fortune. We are going there and talking about how we can idolize every our families, relationships, and friends too. It's a tough topic but lets do this together. JOY REVIVAL VIRTUAL CONFERENCE HERE!!!!!Check out my website for e-workbooks, courses, apparel,  and info on God Is Within Her Mentoring Community and 1-on-1 Faith + Mindset coaching for women with me!Work with me // www.valreynolds.comConnect with me // @val_reynoldsCollab with me // info@valreynolds.comSupport the show

Hey friends! Today, we are in Matthew 7:24-27 where Jesus teaches the story about the wise and foolish builders. Growing up, I heard this story taught and I always assumed the wise builder represented people who knew Jesus and the foolish builder represented people who did not know Jesus. But as I studying this passage again, I realized that's NOT what they represented! WHAT?! This story is teaching us that hearing about Jesus isn't enough. There is one subtle difference that either makes us wise or foolish...and it has to do with doing . Be more than just all talk.
