The Shining Light Podcast

allow me to get the joke out of the way first: i'm not talking about the holiday in this episode.i've learned that it is possible to thank God for something you are praying for before it even happens. it takes grace so we thank God for the Holy Spirit helping us. have a listen today as i talk about thanksgiving as a form of prayer and having faith to thank Him without seeing.(also, this is episode 60!! i appreciate you listening and i pray that every episode blesses you in helping you grow in your walk with Christ and helps you shine your light!)love you lots, faith

today's episode is a Bible study based on Psalm 119. it's a long psalm but worth the read because i think it has something for everyone.i share some personal testimonies as well in this episode about how I have seen God transform my life. have a listen, share, and enjoy!God bless you and remember to keep shining your light!!

"Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts...."God knows what we need and that includes knowing that we need His voice. God's voice is not to shame or condemn, it is to guide and help us grow. Listening to Him takes humility and grace (thank God we serve the God of grace!) because it requires us to potentially leave our plan to follow His perfect one. Listen to my thoughts on listening to God.

hello, hello! in this episode, i am sharing some candid "behind-the-scenes" realities of waiting on God. patience is necessary but not always easy. i've been learning how to be more humble in that process; listen to the episode and hear how some of how that's been going... thank you for listening, and if you have any tips or Bible verses on patience and waiting, please comment them here or dm me on instagram (@theshininglightpodcast). i'm going to (God-willing) be more active on ig so this will be a nice way to start! God bless you and see you in feb

"wait on the Lord, be of good courage, and He will strengthen your heart". as we head into a new year, i encourage you to be patient to see all that God has for you. wait on God, rely on Him. He will work for your good because we have a Good Father in Him. --- thank you for listening to the podcast this year. it has been a privilege and a blessing to serve you and learn with you. i pray to speak more and grow more and share more episodes in 2025 and that our community grows in the knowledge of Christ. love you always and happy new year in advance.

Confidence, Godfidence, self-esteem, all that jazz. It's not just about mantras and believing in yourself, it's about believing in the One who saved you and made you. Something I have learned is to not allow myself to be intimidated; I hope you learn something from this episode too.

to all my sisters... you are precious, you are loved, you are beautiful, and God loves you abundantly. i pray this ep encourages you to walk as the wonderful women you are

Hi! The last couple of months has been a lot of adjusting and also a lot of faith questions for me. I really questioned trusting God. I hope this episode encourages you to keep believing in God even if you don't feel you have all the knowledge. I'm learning to be a child again, and I hope if you are on a similar journey, this episode will help. God bless you, God loves you.

God is not complicated so let's not complicate His voice. I pray that He shines His light on us and makes clear to us His voice. Remember to keep shining your light

i know i've found the prospect of fasting so scary in the past so i really pray that God in His grace uses this episode as a tool to ease any fears and questions you may have about fasting. i've had some time off the podcast so i also explain why in the episode. i really love you and thank you for staying with the podcast and me. God bless you

people, saying yes to Jesus is saying yes to a completely new way of living. if you'd like some assistance for this journey, i pray this episode can do that for you. God bless you

evangelism. what is that? @theshininglightpodcast | @theshininglightprose

have you been having thoughts about prayer? been wondering if there is more you could be doing? if there is more you should be doing? well, i pray (

Hi and welcome back to Shining Light Podcast! In this episode, I'm talking about some more realities of being a Christian – with a focus on what our role as Christians should be. People often talk about all that a person may have to give up when they decide to follow Jesus, but I want us to talk about the benefits of being a light in this world. My song recommendation for this episode is “Sufficient for Today” by Maverick City Music. It is a beautiful song that speaks on the sufficiency of God

happy new year!! guys, have you ever wondered how much God can change you? have you ever feared the ways in which God might change you? i know i have... this episode speaks on how when we decide to let God lead our lives, He doesn't leave us to do that alone; He comes to fill our lives with His Kingdom. it's honestly very comforting to know that God doesn't leave me alone in this journey; i hope the same is true for you. have a listen, share the episode, and comment what stuck out to you - i love having a chat with you! instagram - @theshininglightpodcast instagram blog - @theshininglightprose God bless and remember to keep shining your light

welcome back! i'm so happy to be sharing this reflections episode with you. today it is a classic reflections ep where i share what is on my heart right now! i hope that you are enjoying autumn and are having an amazing season. Know that God is with you, God loves you and He sent His Son, Jesus, to die for you to show this love. Not only that, but to be the access-way to know Him and to offer forgiveness for your sins. Jesus is alive and ready to accept you as His friend

welcome back to The Shining Light Podcast! i am so excited to share a reflections episode with you and reflect on what has been on my heart recently. in this episode, i talk about the presence of God and share some music i have been loving recently and just love in general. follow the instagram (@theshininglightpodcast) to see the playlist, but my favourite song right now is definietly "Anu Wamiri (Mercy Found Me)" by Victoria Orenze and Dunsin Oyekan. have a listen to the episode and the music and i hope you learn something new. i love you and thank you for being here

this was a bit of an episode of self-discovery for me where I learned that I need to draw nearer to God. testing times in your faith often test what the substance of your relationship with God is made of... have a listen and i hope you learn something new. remember to keep shining your light

A person's identity is important, but what is even more important is what they put their identity in. At the end of the day, we should rest in the amazing identity Jesus has given us and not what others say. I hope you gain something from this episode and remember to keep shining your light :)

this is an episode particularly for people that have just become Christians or are interested in pursuing a life of Christianity... it's honestly one of the best decisions you can ever make, but it can be daunting so i want this episode and future series to be a guide for us all. i hope you learn something new and that this helps you

The Gospel message is probably the most important message that a person can hear. It is life-giving and transformative in so many ways. In this episode, I share with you the Gospel: why it matters and how to respond to it. I didn't give a music recommendation in the episode but I recommend listening to these sermons if you would like to find out more about what I said in this episode: - "An Introduction to Jesus" by Dr Charles Stanley (1) An Introduction to Jesus – Dr. Charles Stanley - YouTube - "Following Jesus as a Teenager" by Switch Youth (1) Following Jesus as a Teenager - YouTube (even if you're not a teenager, this message is a really nice way to find out more about Christianity) - (I also recommend the song "'Tis So Sweet To Trust in Jesus" by Church of the City and Jon Reddick

listen to me talk for about 45 minutes and be extreeeemely vulnerable with you as i share how i'm doing mentally, things i want to be better at, and a very significant testimony. lowkey a bit of a therapy session where i get a lot of things off my chest. listen along and 'have a chat' with me. in the presence of the Lord there is freedom so i'm freely speaking in this episode - i hope you learn something new and enjoy

a very honest discussion about idols where i share my experience and (hopefully) use that to encourage you

this might be your call to repentance... repentance is basically turning away from sin and clinging to God instead. have a listen to what i've learnt about it. my song recommendation for this episode is, "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross" by St. Michael's Singers. enjoy, i hope you learn something new, and remember to keep shining your light :)

i think self-control is one of the hardest things sometimes. i really relate to Paul when he said that things he wants to do he doesn't do yet the things he doesn't want to do, he does (Romans 7:15)! self-control is impossible with human strength, but with God nothing is impossible. join me in this exploration of self-control. i cover topics such as lust and fasting to exemplify the realities of self-control but also to show us that self-control is possible. my song rec for this episode is 'camp' by Lord's Child, Montell Fish, and Antoine Bradford. i absolutely love this song and i hope you can see why :') i hope you learn something new and remember to keep shining your light

"oh for grace to trust Him more..." a very personal episode about the difficulties of trusting God and the necessity of trusting God. how do we trust Him? why should we trust Him? have a listen :) enjoy and remember to keep shining your light! Song Recommendations: - Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus (by Church of the City) - Firm Foundation (by Cody Carnes and Maverick City Music) - Jireh (by Maverick City Music)

Welcome back!! I have a lot to say about these three topics so get comfortable, have a listen, and I hope you learn something new :) Remember to keep shining your light.

What is Church really about? Sundays are important for sure, but why? Why does Church matter? What even is a Church? Have a listen to my thoughts on these questions and more. Follow the Instagram @theshininglightpodcast | Follow my blog Instagram @theshininglightprose Remember to keep shining your light :)

By God's grace, we have reached the end of 2022! It's been a year and we give God thanks. Have a listen to what i have to say about these past 365 days and thoughts on the next. God bless, protect, and guide us all into the new year and throughout in Jesus name. (also - keep an eye on the Instagram (@theshininglightpodcast) for the link to my 2022 playlist!!) Remember to keep shining your light in 2023 :)

God's love. What else can be said but that it is a great thing. In this ep, i ask and answer 3 questions: What is God's love? Why does it matter ? Can it truly satisfy? Listen to find out my answers :) Remember to keep shining your light (and enjoy the festive season!) the prayer of salvation : “Dear God, I know I'm a sinner, and I ask for your forgiveness. I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son. I believe that He died for my sin and that you raised Him to life. I want to trust Him as my Savior and follow Him as Lord, from this day forward. Guide my life and help me to do your will. I pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.”

get comfortable because it's another reflections episode! In this episode, I share my current favourite songs (playlist to follow soon!!), things I've been learning on love, self-esteem, worship, and more. Have a listen to where my heart is right now. I hope this encourages and helps you in some way :) keep shining your light! Instagram - @theshininglightpodcast Instagram blog - @theshininglightprose

Part 2! This episode concludes the series on 'the works of the flesh'. I hope you learn something from it :) If you feel prompted to start a life in Christ or rededicate your life to Christ, this is the prayer to pray: “Dear God, I know I'm a sinner, and I ask for your forgiveness. I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son. I believe that He died for my sin and that you raised Him to life. I want to trust Him as my Savior and follow Him as Lord, from this day forward. Guide my life and help me to do your will. I pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.” Recommended Next Steps after this prayer: - pray (talk to God) that God gives you wisdom of what to do - get a Bible (and/or download the Bible App) - join a Bible-believing Church - start reading the Book of Mark in the Bible - don't focus on your old life/sin. You've been made new in Jesus Christ

Trigger Warning - S.A (s. assault) is briefly mentioned from 32.50 minutes - 34.15 minutes. Please skip past this section if you would like to. The works of the flesh. Sin. It's such a big topic I've split it into multiple episodes! But seriously, following on from the last episode (the fruits of the Spirit), I believe it's important that we know what the works of the flesh are so that we can know what we are avoiding (or know what we need to repent of - there's no shame in it!) Please know that I never seek to judge anyone through these episodes so don't feel like I'm condemning or judging you - I'm not. I'm simply trying to make what the Bible says clearer to us so we can live lives pleasing to God. I hope you gain wisdom from this episode by the grace of God, and remember to keep shining your light :) (The Jackie Hill Perry Sermon I mentioned - In a sexual society, we have need of endurance : A short talk - YouTube )

welcome back! I hope everyone had a great summer and I'm so excited to share a new episode!! So...the fruits of the Spirit: old-school theology or relevant part of modern Christianity? (spoiler - they are very much still relevant!) This episode explores what the fruits of the Spirit are and of course how we can apply them to our daily life. Enjoy :) Instagram - @theshininglightpodcast Instagram blog: @theshininglightprose (formerly @jesusislove.316) Remember to keep shining your light

Welcome back! I absolutely loved recording this episode. In it, I explore the topics of lukewarmness, separation from God, and the joys of salvation and reconciliation with Him - enjoy :) Prayer of Salvation/Reconciliation with God - Find Peace with God - Billy Graham Evangelistic Association “Dear God, I know I'm a sinner, and I ask for your forgiveness. I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son. I believe that He died for my sin and that you raised Him to life. I want to trust Him as my Savior and follow Him as Lord, from this day forward. Guide my life and help me to do your will. I pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.”

Welcome back! It's another reflections episode so get comfortable for this one

Welcome back to another episode of the Shining Light Podcast! In this episode we're learning about the Holy Spirit: who is He, what does He do, and why do we need Him? It also explores the wonderful thing of 'hearing God's voice' and aims to answer how we can do that. Remember, the Holy Spirit is most impactful in the lives of those who have accepted Jesus and His gift of salvation. Feel free to pray this prayer to accept Jesus or renew your relationship with Him: “Dear God, I know I'm a sinner, and I ask for your forgiveness. I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son. I believe that He died for my sin and that you raised Him to life. I want to trust Him as my Savior and follow Him as Lord, from this day forward. Guide my life and help me to do your will.

Episode 20?!?!!! God is good! What better way to celebrate a milestone episode than by reminding ourselves of the Gospel?! But truly, the Gospel is quite literally the message of salvation so it is the most important thing that a person can hear.

Going through and getting through hard times are...hard! It can be difficult and that is why I wanted to speak about how we can look at our mental health from a Christian perspective.

Please remember that you are loved and to speak out to get help when you need help. There is no shame in asking for help - your mental health matters. God bless and keep shining your light.
