Often our fear debilitates our faith when God calls us to do something. We may allow the voice of our own fear or even the fear of others to interfere with our obedience to God.

Getting Out of an Identity Crisis Through Christ

A lot of us are in a space right now where we're learning our identities or if we should even be identifying ourselves with one thing. One thing I've learned about identity is that it's a lot easier to know who you are when you know Who's you are. Since God created us that means He also created our identities. If you've been feeling purposeless then this episode is your reminder that God is too strategic to put you here without a plan for you! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thejrne/support

How to Find BALANCE in Life | Mental, Physical and Spiritual Health

Play Episode Listen Later Mar 5, 2023 38:27


Finding balance when it comes to maintaining mental, physical and spiritual health can be a bit overwhelming. Especially with our flesh and spirit at war with each other daily. As I navigate my 20s I'm realizing not one is more important than the other. God wants us to have peaceful minds, strong bodies, and He wants us to have eternal life by staying connected to Him every day of our lives. All three of these work together, and without one in order the others fall apart. There's a balance we must all find as we strive to be more like Christ. There is a way to put God first, have a good social life, build a nice career, sustain a healthy body, AND do it all with a sound mind. We just have to find it. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thejrne/support

I gotta testimony to give y'all! I had been avoiding doing a fast for the longest but God gave me no choice last month. I've made prayers that seemed to have gone unanswered but during this fast so many things I had been praying for just fell into my lap! To whom much is given much is required, I should've never hesitated to start fasting but we live and we learn. It was starting to feel like God ran out of testimonies but He showed up when I thought all hope was lost! I hope this encourages you to stay faithful to God and keep your belief in Him as your provider. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thejrne/support

The Gift of Salvation is Free.

Play Episode Listen Later Jan 29, 2023 54:55


This episode we're going back to the basics! Salvation and deliverance do not end after you say “the prayer”. It is our job to work out to show the results of our salvation by dying to self daily. Following Christ is not a hobby that means you just go to church on Sunday, it's a way of life and it is not easy. I didn't really want to talk about this because it's not one of the “fun” messages but it needs to be said in full truth (not the half truth that the church often gives us about salvation).

Sex is a beautiful and intimate thing created by God for a man and his wife. However the enemy has perverted it into hookup culture, sexual assault, and over sexualization. His biggest tool is pornography and when we watch it a lustful stain is left on our hearts.

The media is trying to poison our minds. Specifically, the enemy is using the media to control our minds and we're allowing it but senselessly scrolling for hours with no boundaries. We are called to be set apart in this world and that includes what we consume. Maybe what you're battling has nothing to do with the enemy attacking you… it could just be the fact that you allowed so many things into your spirit that had no business being there.

Developing Intimacy with God | He leaves the 99 | Are you the Samaritan woman?

There's this rumor going around that Christians need a "middle man" or a Pastor to get to God, but last time I checked the only way to get to the Father is through the Son. So if you've been missing out on the intimacy of knowing God for yourself, then this episode is for you! His spirit is within you and there is nothing more intimate than that. He's waiting for you to go deeper with Him. So much that He'd go out His way to grab you like He grabbed the Samaritan woman, and so much that He'd leave the 99 "sheep" to bring you back home.
