"In the times where I haven't chosen to be obedient, God has still been faithful. Did I get the full measure of the blessing? Maybe not, because I wasn't actively pursuing obedience, but He's still faithful. Whether I'm fully showing up or delaying obedience, God is still there, but I want the full measure of His blessing, so I try to choose obedience!" - Chrystan FerrellCheck out Chrystan's podcast: Not Your Mama's Bible Study wherever you get your podcasts, and follow her on social media @chrystanferrell!

You’ve sung “Jesus Loves Me” since forever, but now it doesn’t ring true. Do you need a gentle reminder of how crazy God is about you? Maybe you yelled at your kids this morning and feel like The Worst Mom ever. Maybe you had an abortion decades ago. Maybe you just feel a vague sadness that you were supposed to be better or have accomplished more or figured life out by now.  Maybe you believe -- even subconsciously -- that God loves a lot of other try-hard girls really well, but He loves you just a little bit less.  I don’t know what it may be for you, but I know in my life, I’ve felt that God had to love me, was obligated to love, but didn’t really like me. His love felt academic and I rarely experienced it. He felt more like a taskmaster telling me to “Do this!” but “Don’t do that!” and less like a loving Father who loves to lavish good gifts on His girl. If any of that resonates with you, this is what I would say over coffee. February is the month of love. I’d like to show you some love and I’m wondering if you’re willing to show me some love. Here’s how it works: Each week I will select one person as a recipient of one of these three books: Reset: 20 Ways to a Consistent Prayer Life by Bob Sorge    Sister, Walk in Truth: Pursuing God’s Truth in Today’s Pop-Culture Christianity compiled by Chrystan Ferrell  Psalm Prayers for Kids: A 40-Day Prayer Journal by Sarah Keeling    To enter to win one of these books, would you either: Record a voice message using the Voice Memo app on your phone, including your name, state, and what you like about the podcast, then email it to me Or email me about how the podcast has helped you live out grace in real life. Just email the voice message or written testimonial to info at jill e mccormick dot com  I’ll pick one winner every Tuesday at 12p CST. So we’ll have winners selected on February 9, 16, and 23. And each winner will pick which book she’d like! Key Quotes There is nothing that you could do to make God love you more or less. In God’s kingdom, there’s no quid pro quo or reciprocity or bartering. There is only God’s Son nailing your sins to the cross so you bear them no more. God is in the restoration business.  All of your past has led you here, and God will lead you to what makes you come fully alive. Hold tightly to God’s hand for it is mighty to save and has your name written on it.

This season we are exploring A Big, Happy Life and how God's plan of abundance leads us to freedom. Today I get to share a really fun conversation with you. My friend, Chrystan Ferrell is joining me today. Yes, Chrystan is a speaker and an author and she really loves Jesus.

If you are craving a really honest conversation about what freedom has looked like and felt inside a friendship, this is your episode. We don't hold anything back. And believe me, we don't share the hard parts of our relationship because it makes us feel good. We want to share the freedom we've experienced in our friendship because we know that abundant and free lives come when we are living deeply in community with each other. Nothing is off limits today. Let's go!

Your host Blake chats with author and speaker Chrystan Ferrell about the watered-down gospel so many of us are consuming and the problem with not knowing truth.   Follow Chrystan here

My friend Chrystan Ferrell walks us through her journey of coming to Christ. Like the real moment, not the outside circle moment where you know who Jesus is and you know about scripture. The REAL life-changing relationship with Jesus was birthed in Chrystan’s life after lots of chasing after fun that ended in destruction. She talks about the struggle as a single parent and I love how she defines the brokenness of sin yet the blessing that God continues to place in her life. Chrystan poured her heart into the book Sister, Walk in Truth because she believes there’s a tangible hope you can have in Jesus. If you’re seeking for hope that doesn’t fade, consider buying a copy of the book to dive deeper into the truths that Gods word has in store for you.

Chrystan Ferrell is an author, leader in the faith, and good friend of Carrie Robaina. She joins the show today to chat about a book they both have been working on called "Sister, Walk In Truth", which is now available for purchase on Amazon! Chrystan had a post go viral on social media several months ago and feels that God has called her into spaces where pop culture Christianity has missed the mark. Stay tuned for an exciting episode of She Walks In Truth where you will be challenged, encouraged, and inspired to press into the whole truth of God’s word! Introduction to Chrystan Ferrell (2:30) Chrystan shares that she is a daughter of the one true king and runs a nonprofit called Imperfectly Brave. She is a wife, mother, speaker, and a writer. She also has a social media ministry too called Real Raw Redeemed. Sister, Walk In Truth Book (4:00) Chrystan and Carrie originally connected over their passion to pursue God’s truth in today’s pop culture Christianity. They are both advocates for standing firm in God’s word and are weary of today’s modern culture seeming to blur the Biblical truth with what modern day culture says is truth. True Connection Episode (6:30) This past September, Chrystan was a guest for She Walks In Truth podcast which she shared on the topic of “True Connection”. If you’re interested in getting to know her story a bit more, check out episode 80! Pop Culture Christianity (7:30) Pop culture Christianity seems to be the river in between the worlds truth and God’s word of truth. Much of our culture has relied on pastors and other leadership to tell individuals what God’s word says which has led us to not getting into the word for ourselves. This causes an issue for everyday believers not knowing the difference between what God says for believers and what the world says. It appears to be there is a struggle where many believers are standing in the middle, confused on what the truth really is. Vulnerability (9:00) Carrie shares how vulnerable she felt growing up in regards to her lack of discernment and taking people for their word simply because they were in leadership. Later on she realized how important it is to discover God’s truth through her own studies. Embracing the Tension (12:00) Just because hard conversations makes us uncomfortable, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have those hard conversations. Sometimes we are called to speak truth in love and we could probably all do a better job of that! We need to ask ourselves, are we going to go toward what itches our ears and suits our own passions or what brings the most glory to God? Light a Fire (13:30) Allow God’s word to light a fire in your life, not just going along with the trend of today! Equipped (16:00) Chrystan grew up in the church but her faith really took off when she was in her late 20’s. A while back she had a mentor challenge her to dig deeper into God’s word, which helped change her thinking from using scripture as a life line in emergency situations to being a guidebook and road map in her everyday life. A Renewed Understanding (19:00) Once Chrystan discovered the old testament was a neon sign pointing towards Jesus, it greatly shifted her perspective. She was then able to see the golden thread of God’s wild love for people all throughout the scriptures! Behind the Why (21:00) Carrie poses a question to Chrystan asking her to share why she went all in for heading up the “Sister, Walk In Truth” book.   Rallier of People (23:30) God has given Chrystan the gift being a “rallier of people”. Investing time into co-authoring the new book and self publishing, has allowed her to exercise this gift and share it with others to make a greater impact. Rejection (24:00) Just because there will be a no to one opportunity doesn't mean God isn’t asking you to still move forward with that particular ambition. We need to be cautious in not taking rejection as a no because often times when one door closes another one opens, God knows best! Alexis the “reader” (25:00) Carrie and Chrystan chat about when they were co-authoring the book with other women together, they picked out a fictional character in mind to imagine reading the book one day. They named this reader “Alexis”, and Alexis represents the audience of women who desire to go deeper and know God for who He is, not what the culture is saying. Every chapter and every word of this book is wrapped up in prayer, God’s word, and passion for the whole truth!

Christian author and speaker Chrystan Ferrell joins She Walks In Truth this week to have a conversation with Carrie Robaina about two issues believers face today. One is how to navigate being a believer in a culture that weaves in some of God's truth so that it sounds like it's Biblical but isn't. The second topic we tackle is the beautifully broken journey of parenthood. Chrystan loves Jesus, coffee, is a boy mom and wife to Farmer Adam and leads two fun ministries.
