The Stranger Sessions - A Christian Teen Podcast

Why is guarding our hearts so important and how do we do it? What are big ways that we need to be aware and protect ourselves from thoughts that are future actions? Come along for a discussion of guarding ourselves so that our lives can bring glory to God and be better for us! And no, this episode is not just about boys haha!

How often do we feel anxiety, hopelessness, and just plain lost in this complicated and hard world, when Jesus already gave us so much hope, joy, and life in His Word? How often do we doubt His promises because they are in the unseen things? I know I do a lot, and this causes a perspective that is not free or joyful. We need to be reminded that our God is faithful, and He will keep His promises. We need to remember that it is Him and not us doing it, praise Him! Our hope is in Him, so let us hope in Him, and trust in Him AND TAKE HIM AT HIS WORD!

Today we get to the main point. God's unconditional agape LOVE. The two books I have been reading through the Love Series (besides the Holy Bible) are "Love, the more excellent way" by Chuck Smith and "Ecclesiastics and Song of Solomon" by J. Vernon McGee. I definitely recommend you check these out if you are on a journey to discover God's LOVE for yourself :) God LOVES you. He died for you. Accept His LOVE and discover LIFE. HE IS ALTOGETHER LOVELY

We are moving on to the next definition of the word "love" which is PHILEO or brotherly love. I talk about conditional versus unconditional love, and take a look at what Biblical friendship looks like. Hope you learn something new or see something from a new perspective :)

Episode two of the Love Series! Today I'm talking about the first definition of the three definitions of love. It is the EROS love, which is self love or physical love, which is becoming more popular in our society today.

Hey! I am finally starting the love series that I've been talking about and I am excited! I think this is gonna be a rewarding series for you and me! Jesus led this episode, I know that cuz I totally went off track from what I had in my notes haha.

So I tell you the details in the episode, but I recently discover what I think is the cure to my sidetracked and repetitive prayers! I didn't even know that this method existed but it has worked so well for me lately! Obviously prayer is not a formula but there are a lot of prayers and requests that we may have a hard time remembering or are just repeating way too much that we don't get to the daily conversation at all! If you struggle with any of these things I recommend giving this prayer journal method a try, because I feel like it's totally changed my prayer time. It is way easier to stay on track and much less of a chore to try and remember all my daily requests and repeats. Here is the link to the video that I saw. By the way, I don't know anything about this lady, I just saw her video on Pinterest. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/589056826280087454/ Anyway, I'm excited about it, so I get all into the details of how I decided to do it so that I can give you guys some ideas if you decide to try it. Also, two bonus things in this episode. One, I give an example of the things I pray for my future husband, so if you are a girl wondering what to pray, maybe that can give you a guide, or if you are a guy, you can see what a young woman who is following the Lord is praying for. Obviously this is my personal prayer though. Just thought it could be interesting. And two, A shoutout at the end to those who have reached out to me recently. Thank you

The results are in! I finished a whole week without technology and to be honest, I'm kinda proud of myself. If you're wondering if it did me any good, go ahead and take a listen, but I'll give you a quick tip. I don't think a week is necessary unless you're doing it for the same goals that I was doing it for. I'm glad to be back on cuz I missed recording and such, but also, I think this was an eye opening experience. Hopefully some of you will be inspired to leave your phones, laptops, gaming consoles, etc. for some amount of time (whatever fits for you) and just be present. Take it slow. Do some thinking :)

Guys, I'm taking Thanksgiving break, but not off school. Instead I'm taking Thanksgiving break off technology. This is gonna be pretty hard for me, as you probably know, but I have you guys to hold me accountable! In this episode, I talk about the reasons why I'd like to do this challenge, the goals I have in mind, and things I'd like to do instead of being on technology. If you're looking for some inspo on how to reach a healthier balance of tech in your life, check this episode out! Maybe I can give you a few ideas. But also, I am doing a before and after, so that I can see what changes happen throughout just one week. I know that this challenge is effective because I have done something similar before. Maybe you guys would like to try hopping on and doing it with me! See what happens? Check back next week for the results episode!

Since it's almost the holiday season, and especially Thanksgiving, I thought this would be the perfect episode for this time of year. I also think we all get into a negative slump at some point, so hopefully this will give you a little insight on how God wills for us to keep a healthy, positive headspace as we push through! Hope you enjoy this episode. My Instagram: Instagram.com/angelina-jordon/ My other podcast: StoryTime By Angel

Today I'm talking about that gray area between good and bad and how confusing that can be as we are growing up. This is something that I have personally been struggling with so I thought it would make for a good topic for the episode :) Check out my podcast that is just for fun here: https://open.spotify.com/show/5B0V6aa6sFCp1jfuCJD827?si=da86b9bfd6e14705 Or by searching Storytime by Angel.

So I was doing my daily Bible study and I ran across a topic that I think we can all learn something amazing from. So invited two of my friends, who were involved in a terrible car accident last year, to talk about their experience with praising the Lord in the midst of their hurt and trauma. These are two AMAZING girls that I totally look up to. I love to see that even though they have went, and are still, going through something so hard, they are CHOOSING the Lord daily. Join us for some really good conversation about different ways to praise the Lord through hard times and ways that He uses them for His glory and our good.  Here is their podcast, "Drivers Ed with Nat and Bella" https://open.spotify.com/show/51h9hbEjTsh5zbnmoyZ4AM?si=3b7281ae0e22408b Follow Bella's IG to follow along her ministry journey @BellaHopson!  And as always, if you'd like to support me, the best way is to follow and leave a review- anddddd tell your friends :)  Thanks so much to Nat and Bella for joining me for this episode!

Hey, guys! Yes I'm back lol. Don't listen to me when I make plans- I change them haha. Anyway, today I decided to tell you guys about something I had to learn over the summer. I tell you a story of how I got into a really difficult spot and ended up getting addicted to something that wasn't helping me get better. I had to learn, and still am learning, how to have a healthy balance of media in my life. I'm sure many of you struggle with the same issue so I thought I'd talk it over and maybe you guys can gain an idea of how to manage your social media intake better. Hope you enjoy and come back next week for another episode :) also, here is a link to my new show, StoryTime by Angel: https://open.spotify.com/show/5B0V6aa6sFCp1jfuCJD827?si=asSXeKebRPawztMltP7Xtg please leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts and/or a rating and follow on Spotify to support me.

This is the final episode- episode 100! Isn't that crazy?? I can't believe it! Anyway, in this episode I discuss sharing your faith, being bold for your faith, and standing up for your faith. Plus, a super exciting announcement at the end! (I'm not even kidding. It's super exciting! Something about a new po———?!) Listen in to hear what it is!! Thanks so much to all my listeners for joining me here! Hopefully you learned something new or grew stronger in your faith. Anyway, lastly, live differently- and PEACE OUT ♥️ P.S STAYED TUNED TIL NEXT WEEK FOR THE DETAILS ON THE ANNOUNCEMENT!!

In this weeks podcast episode I talk about tribulation and rapture. I want to bring this up because I don't know how much longer it's going to be until these things unfold and I want to discuss them with you guys.

So today's episode is a worship session. I picked my favorite worship songs and sang them for you. The audio quality is not the greatest because I am not a producer and I do not really know how to edit audio that well, but it was fun and hopefully you will have fun singing and worshiping the Lord with me.

I have not posted an original song in a while. I made this song about a month ago right before I got really sick and I didn't end up doing anything with it because I didn't end up doing anything for a while but it's out now and hopefully you guys enjoy. One thing is that it was inspired by an artist called “escape” who sings in Russian and English so if you listen to some of his songs you might spot the resemblance. P.S. this is a apology session for the ones I missed.

Hey guys! I know it's been awhile but I'm back. I'm talking about fruit, again!!

I know I've skipped two weeks. But it's okay. Here's an update. Please pray for my family and I :)

In this episode I talk about a recent experience that taught me that you cannot trust your mind nor your feelings... and I talk a bit about VR haha. Be careful what you feed your mind! Also, I had some verses to read but I ran out of time.... but here is one! Isaiah 26:3,4 “You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever, for in YAH, the Lord, is everlasting strength.” That's an amazing verse. Nothing can beat that right now :)

In this episode I FINALLY have my friend Ella over to record and we do have a blast, although we had some technical difficulties

So today I'm sharing how I set up a podcast on Anchor. This is not a sponsored session, I literally am just sharing what I have used and done regarding my podcast. Hopefully this is helpful to all of you guys who would like to start your own podcasts :)

I want to talk about falling away from your faith today, and some factors that can lead to it. Hopefully your identity and fulfillment is found solely in Christ

Hey guys :D I know I have already done a dating session before but I thought I would do an updated version to refresh our minds and maybe add some points since it's been awhile. Dating is a huge factor in our age group and it's quite a popular topic, so I thought doing a second session on it wouldn't be a problem. I hope you learn something new or just see a different point of view through this session

It's literally in the title.

Yes! You read it right! Excluding this episode I've only got 10 episodes left! Hope you guys enjoy them! (Also have a blog post saying the same stuff as I talk about in this episode) thestrangersessions.com

Reading thougj Ephesians 1:1-10. We are blessed, chosen, predestined, adopted, sons and daughters of Himself, accepted, redeemed, and forgiven. All according to His good pleasure.

Here are a bunch of verses, quotes, and ideas that I tell myself whenever I have a hard day or am going through something tough. Hope you can pick a few that will help you as well! Sharpen your Sword of the Spirit!

Here's a little reminder for all of you who have gone through or are going through troubles.

So today's session is just a study on the signs of the times in Matthew. It's a long one hahaha- hope you speed me up

In this episode, I'm trying to give you guys a better look inside of the Temple than maybe you've ever had before and telling you about the Ultimate Sacrifice ever made. Hopefully you learn something new and have some fun!

In this session, I talk about the promise of one of the Judges of Israel and the consequences that came from it. There was a way out, but because he did not know the Word of God well enough, a life was taken. Read your Bible! It is the inspired Word OF GOD! It's a supernatural Book! It even tells the future! (See Rev! :D )

Do you guys ever think about other religions and wonder what it takes to be saved? Well, what does it mean to be a Christian? What do you have to do to be saved? How do you know if you are saved?

It's all in the episode. I had such a hard time trying to SAY it- I'm not about to try to write it

It's all in the title

Happy New Year everybody!

So I was talking to a friend of mine and we spoke a little about this, and I realized that I don't think I've ever gone over this subject. So I decided I would. I want you guys to see how important and how powerful repentance is. As Paul said, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” ‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭5:17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The judgement of the Lord is coming! Are you ready or are you being ignorant of the truth?? For promised resources: thestrangersessions.com

Hey you guys! Like, always, reading out of “Cost” by Russ Miller. Today's study is all about the geologic column and time scale and how it is not a reliable source of information due to the dating of rock layers and fossils. Hope you guys have a good time and are able to comprehend the words that I am trying to accurately say

Again we are going through “Cost” by Russ Miller. I am going over uniformity and how it is not supported by Biblical events or Biblical science. I will also be reading about radiometric dating which is used to falsely prove millions and billions of year-theories which are not supported by Biblical science either. I will be going over assumptions that prove how radiometric dating is not reliable evidence for false science.

Again reading from the book “Cost” by Russ Miller. The first laws of real science actually prove the Big Bang Theory as false. There are no observable, nor provable facts as evidence to this theory. The Bible actually predicts it! thestrangersessions.com

I started a new study on the book “COS✝️” by Russ Miller and I'm super excited. I will be talking about how real science actually supports the Bible and the importance and catastrophe of the false beliefs accepted as truth in our society. Check out “COST” here: https://compass.org/product/cost-by-russ-miller/

In this episode I interview Kristen Clark from Girl Defined Ministries and we talk about mental health, mentorship and how that can improve your mental health, and discipline in your devotion and relationship with God and how big of an impact that has on your mental health. Thanks so much to the Girl Defined Ministries for this super exciting opportunity! Go check them out right here: https://girldefined.com

Do you get tired of putting so much effort into being liked... when you can be loved just the way you are?

What do you do when you are waiting? What are we SUPPOSED to do in the waiting? Why is God making us wait?? thestrangersessions.com

If you're new around here- listen to this brand new trailer! I hope you do not go back to the very beginning of my podcast and start listening there haha! I was a beginner and I am not confident in those first ones

Hey! I'm launching season 4! Have fun listening to my ramble about my year and about the podcast and the future! This podcast session is pretty much a waste of time but I hope you have fun haha. thestrangersessions.com

You guys! Don't let fear stop you from trying new things and impacting the people around you! Slap it in the face like Sadie does in this next chapter! Also, next week is my one year podcast anniversary so I am doing a giveaway! Enter on my website thestrangersessions.com If you win, you will receive a copy of Sadie Robertson's book “LIVE” which I have been doing a series in, as well as some other fun stuff that I'm have yet to choose

We all have them. Those thoughts that you thought you would never have- or that you've had for a long time. Dark, scary, lies in your head. That maybe if you never even existed... you'd be happier.

I'm okay.
