God Is Within Her - a women’s devotional podcast | Podcast

1. Are You a Christian?

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?

2. Discernment Challenge: Do You Blend Your Faith With the World?

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

3. Why Is Jesus Dying On The Cross Important?

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!

4. When We Don’t Understand God’s Ways

*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

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!

6. Growing Our Perspective on Mercy

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 some

7. The Bible is THE Truth, Not Advice

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.

8. THROWBACK: Do Not Be Anxious

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

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."

11. Are You Hungry And Thirsty For God’s Word?

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

13. Lessons From The Man After God’s Own Heart

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

14. Why Does It Sometime Seem Like God Is Unfair?

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 pictur

15. Showing Yourself Grace When Life Happens

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 s

16. No One Is Righteous So How Can God Still Show Me Grace?

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

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. This episode is for you!

18. Personal Convictions vs. Biblical Principals: What’s The Difference and What Should We Do If Someone Disagrees With Our Convictions?

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

19. Everything Is By God’s Design

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!

20. Is Your Faith Built on What You Believe? Or What You Can See Only?

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 sho

21. Feeling Unqualified Part 2

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

Sep 19,2022 25:19

22. Not To Us But To Your Name Be The Glory, God

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 her

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*.

24. Clean vs. Unclean Foods: Do Those Laws Still Apply Today?

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? And how did Jesus dying on the cross somehow make "unclean" foods clean? Man, what the heck does clean and unclean even mean?!

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. Have you ever thought that to yourself? If you have, this episode is for you. And we are going to shed light and truth to that lie so you can live more confidently in your faith.

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 Bibl

Hey friends! On today's episode, we are going to be in Matthew 26:14-16 -- when Judas goes to the high priests and is willing to take just 30 pieces of silver as payment to turn over Jesus. Anyone else ready 30 pieces of silver and think, "Uh. Is that it?! 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?

But on today's episode, we throwback to an episode I did where I describe the difference between being just a believer in Christ and are to imitator of Christ. We aren't just supposed to have faith. We are supposed to walk out our faith as well. We are not supposed to sit idlily by and never show people we ar

30. Why We Should Forgive

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

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?

Didn't think of that one. But seriously, read past that sentence in the passage and Paul painted a clear picture on the action steps we should be taking to overcome and silence our anxiety.

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 th

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

36. You Of Little Faith - Do You Have Little or Great Faith?

Hey friends! In today's episode we go to Matthew 14:22 and Matthew 15:21 to study when Jesus tells Peter "you of little faith, why did you doubt?" and then tells the Canaanite woman "Woman, you have great faith!" What is separating the two? Why does one have little faith and the other have great faith? And how do WE have great faith? Where do we fall?

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

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 stro

40. Do What It Says - Listening To The Word AND Doing It

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

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 EX

42. Is Your Faith About Relationship or Rules?

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

43. TBT: Is Manifesting Ok For Christians To Do?

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. Check out my website for e-workbooks, courses, apparel, and info on

44. Who Is God?

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. Check out my web

46. How Is Your Soil? - Could Your Choices Be The Reason Your Faith Isn’t Growing?

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? Check out my website for e-work

(And you'll hear the old podcast title: The Beautifully Enough Podcast!)

Because it's one thing to say that you believe God is good all the time. But it speaks a totally different heart posture wh

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.

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.

Many of you know I live in Texas and, tragically, there was a school shooting that occurring 5/24/22 as an elementary school about 80 miles from where we used to live when we were in San Antonio. I have friends who have been directly impacted by this careless act. I also know there are many unanswered questions that arise when evil events like this happen. So I decided to take this platform and help guide anyone who has

55. QTT- What is Repentance and How Do We Do It?

Hey friends! On today's episode, we dive into this word "repentance" and study 2 Samuel 12. I don't know about you but that word has always been one I have associated with brimstone and fire. "Repent!" like in this big booming unforgiving voice. But the more and more I practice repentance during my prayer time, the more and more I have begun to realize that repentance isn't something scary at all! It actually has been a key factor into humility in my life! (and that humility sure is a big ole fr

59. How Christians Should Act - More Attributes of a Kingdom Citizen

Hey friends! On today's episode, we are adding to our list of attributes of a Kingdom Citizen! There is not just one "list" you can read in the Bible that fully explains how Christians should think, be, say, act, and do. But when we look at the Bible collectively as a whole, we can begin to piece together attributes that should be models by us! Modeled, not because it makes us look goodie goodie and better than everyone else, but because we want to emulate Jesus to those around us!JOY REVIVAL VI

Hey friends! On today's Thursday Truth Bomb, we chat about humility. Sometimes, we can get a little caught up in our own pride and knowledge that we get too big for our britches (I am from the south! We say stuff like that!) And this story of King Uzziah in 2 Chronicles is a good reminder to us that God's commands trump our opinion.

And I know this is a tough topic to cover. I know this is a topic that easily can offend people. So before you push play, I really want you to stop and pray before receiving these words.

Hey friends! On today's episode, we dive into more attributes of a kingdom citizen! We tend to quote the Fruit of the Spirit a lot when we think about how we should live, think and act.

Hey friends! Oh today's episode is near and dear to my heart. For too long, I lived in the lies that my past sins were too unforgivable. That somehow God expected me to be perfect, always in the word, always obedient, and until I could fix myself, He could never use a person like me for His Kingdom and His purpose. WRONG! Absolutely WRONG! Not today Satan! Today, we will learn that all of that in our hears that God can't use a broken and sinful person like me are all lies from the enemy trying

108. THURSDAY TRUTH BOMB - How To Be Thankful Always

Hey friends! Today's Thursday Truth Bomb is going to help you focus more on things to be thankful for and not things to complain about. It is so easy to hyper focus on everything going wrong, falling apart. Grumbling and complaining are second nature to us. But just because it's a habit that doesn't mean that it's a habit we need to keep. So let's talk about how to shift our hearts away from a grumbling heart to one that focuses on the blessings and thanksgiving!SIGN UP FOR HOW TO STUDY YOUR BIB

110. How To Trust God’s Will

Hey friends! Today we are going to review the story of Abraham and Sarah and how they trusted God and didn't trust God in certain situations. We have a tendency to believe that if God doesn't answer our prayers right here, right now, that means He has forgotten us and He doesn't care about us. We want immediate answers from God instead of trusting God's timing, no matter how slow it might feel. And when we don't get those immediate answer, we will take it upon ourselves to do it anyway, trusting

111. THURSDAY TRUTH BOMB // Waiting On The Lord’s Perfect Timing

Hey friends! We are back with another Thursday Truth Bomb! Today, if for all of the listeners who struggle with waiting on the Lord and trusting the Lord's timing. We live in a microwave society where we want everything right now this very moment! And we inaccurately assume that if it doesn't happen on our timeline, then God made a mistake or He forgot about us or it's a sign that God just doesn't care about us. (Which is totally NOT TRUE.) How can I get better at waiting on the Lord and trustin

113. Not Today Satan! - Fighting Our REAL Enemy

Hey friends! Did you know that you have an enemy? Nope, it's not your spouse. It's not your boss. It's not the person on social media who doesn't have the same political views as you. As believers, we have ONE enemy and his name is Satan. He sneaks around like a roaring lion looking to devour your marriage, your family, your identity, your peace, your courage, your hope, and your faith on a daily basis. And yet, we rarely put up a fight against him. We will fight with our spouses all day long...

114. Thursday Truth Bomb // Where Your Treasure Is There Your Heart Will Be

Hey friend! In today's Thursday Truth Bomb, we are going to self-reflect and bring to light anything we are treasuring more than God. Matthew 6:21 tells us "where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." As women of God, we want our hearts to be 100% on God! That means we should treasure nothing more than God! Right???Today, we will study Genesis 19: Lot, Lot's wife, and how she turns into a pillar of salt because she treasured what she left behind in Sodom and Gomorrah.SIGN UP FOR HOW

115. Making God and Reading Your Bible a Necessity Not An Option

Hey friends! **WARNING** Gonna step on some toes with this one. I used to have all of the reasons why I couldn't read my Bible every day, too. I was too busy, didn't want to get up earlier than normal, didn't know where to start or would I even understand what I was reading? But then I was deeply convicted. It wasn't that I couldn't do it or that I wouldn't be equipped to do it, it was a priority issue. I was allowing myself to make time with God an option, not a necessity. And it hits different

116. How to Trust God by Knowing What Is Truly Important

Hey friends! Today, we go back to Matthew 6 and tackle worry from a different angle. I want to equip you with another powerful tool on how to overcome worry...and that is through fully trusting God AND keeping our eyes on what is really important! We get so fixated to things of this world that they become what is most important to us. And we forget that this world is temporary. What we gain here on this earth is here today and gone tomorrow. So if it is temporary, why do we cling to it so tightl

117. New Year’s Resolution Challenge// Knowing What is Sin (and How to Handle it!)

Hey friends! Today, I want to challenge you as we enter the new year. If you have been wanting to mature in your faith and you feel God pulling you closer to Him, you will find that you will begin to see sin that you usually didn't see. And I want to challenge you to walk into that new phase of your faith boldly! I know it can be challenging and even scary you resist temptations and sins that you have become accustom to, but that is the danger of it all. We have become so desensitized to sin tha

118. How To Be an Obedient Woman of God

Hey friends! Merry *almost* Christmas!! Today we are going to study Luke 1 and 2 and learn two lessons from Mary: how to be an obedient woman of God and how to have joy regardless of your circumstances. So many times we just read this passage as another Sunday school story or as part of the Christmas play our kids do for church. But this story is also a powerful example of how we, as Godly women, can find the answer to our question of "how can I be an obedient woman of God?" How can we push past

Dec 23,2021 16:59

119. Where Do You Find Your Hope?

Hey friends! Today we are going to talk about where we find our hope. I don't think many of us realize that we have our hope misplaced. We place our hope in things of this world: money, spouses, friends, motherhood, health, jobs, other people, etc. when our hope should only be placed in God and God alone. No wonder we constantly struggle with feeling hopeless and full of worry and doubt! Luckily for us, our God is the God of Hope! So after a little redirection, I hope to remind you to get your h

120. THURSDAY TRUTH BOMB - Let the Word of God Do More Than Just Make You Feel Good

Hey friends! Today we are going to chat and be challenged by the word obedience. You love God. His Word moves you. Worship moves you. You get all in your feels when you feel His presence. But what happens when the feelings are all gone? You resonate with God, but are you also obedient to God? You love when a verse moves you, but do you also obey the verses that challenge you? It's time to take all of those highlighted Bible verses off of the paper and start writing them on your heart. Have some

Hey friends! Today we are going to chat about three different ways you can hear God's voice. Yes you can hear it! No, it might not always be with your ears. But yes, YOU can hear His voice! So how? God speaks to us in so many different ways, it goes far beyond just an audible voice (that yes, He is capable of doing if He chooses to!). But more often than not, for me, God speaks in so many other ways than an audible voice. So how does God speak to us? And how can I hear His voice? Let's dive into

Hey friends!! Today we are going to discuss taming our tongue and being super aware of the words we are allowing ourselves to say! With the same mouth we will praise of God and also curse our fellow brothers and sisters...and James 3 tells us this should not be! We have become way too casual with the words we allow ourselves to use in daily conversations. But, it is not too late to take captive thoughts words and make them obedient to Christ!

125. THURSDAY TRUTH BOMB- Could My Anxiety Be From a Lack of Daily Bread?

Hey friends! In today's truth bomb, we are going to discuss why it is so important to read God's word every day. Matthew 6:11 tells us "Give us this day our daily bread." Our daily bread is God's word. And daily means...well...DAILY! Yet, we can struggle with reading our Bibles on a daily basis, can't we?But skipping our Bible every day can have more harmful effects than we realize. And many of our struggles can be mended through God's truths! So join me today as we chat about how power God's wo

Hey friends! Today, I want to help you discover any conditions you have set up in your faith. What do I mean by conditions? I mean, do you have exceptions to your faith and obedience to God? I'm faithful and obedient on Sundays, but not of Friday nights... I play the part as a Christian when I am around my Christian friends, but I am a different person when around others...I have strong, convicting faith when life is easy and smooth, but I ask God where He goes when times get tough...Do you have

Hey friends! Welcome to another episode of Thursday Truth Bombs! Today's truth bomb is all about parenting. As Christian parents, we have a duty and obligation to raise our children on the path they should go, the path of Jesus. Proverbs 22:6 tells us to "train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will no depart from it." And this command requires us, as parents and the adults, to make sure we know what that correct path looks like! It is our job to set the example for our

It's inevitable that we will have moments of negativity, whether it be worry, anxiety, overwhelm, anger, frustration, self-doubt...the list can go on and on! But, just because we will experience these negative emotions (that are sometimes attacks from the enemy!), we don't have to sit and wallow in them. We do not have to be a victim to our own out-of-control emotions. We have

Hey friends! We are back with another Thursday Truth Bomb! Today's truth bomb is a gentle reminder that, no matter the offense, how much it makes us angry or frustrated, our response should still be one that represents God well. And sometimes, that means we take a step back to make sure we give a response that still brings glory to God and not a reaction that brings Him sorrow.Order your Maturing In Your Faith course + e-workbook HERE!!Join Beautifully Enough Mentoring HERE!!!Check out my websit

You have a laundry list of failures behind you as to why you don't have any purpose in your life and you are not capable of making changes for the better. We are going to study the story of Gideon, a man who is describes as "the least of his family." Yet, God called him "a mighty warrior." Does that describe you?

Hey friends! Today, we are going to be discussing a divisive topic. So I want you to enter today's episode with opened eyes and softened hearts...because today we are going to tackle "disputable matters."Disputable matters are those grey areas of Christianity, while not salvation issues, but secondary issues that have differing convictions from one believer to another. Can Christians drink or not drink? Should they avoid secular holidays like halloween or Christmas or is it ok?I pray that this

But scripture tells us over and over again that our words have the power of life and death! Our words are like a spark that can start an entire fire!

Hey friends! Today, we are discussing hope. That is something that can be hard to come by in this world, especially as of late. The worldly pandemic, daily new of another world crisis, arguing and bickering on social media...our hope can look more like a roller coaster of ups and downs rather than a steady stream that it's supposed to be. Why is that? Why does my hope fluctuate up and down? It's honestly exhausting. It's not like that's our intention, but we also don't really know how to remedy

I am continuing to call this "Instructions For Christian Living" because chapter 5 starts in the middle of a paragraph that chapter 4 ends.

Thanks to good ole Tiktok (yes, I am on Tiktok!), I discovered there is a huge need for clarity on spiritual gifts and Kingdom purpose. So many people in my comments section say they struggle with even knowing what their gifts are! And more of them don't even believe they have any talents or gifts!Oh heaven no no no!

153. Keep The Main Thing The Main Thing

Today, I want to talk about a sentence that has stuck with me since I was a teenager. I grew up in church and I remember having a guest pastor come and speak. His name was Peter Lord (literally had to text me mom and ask her to remind me because for the life of me, I couldn’t remember.) And in one of his sermons he said “you have to keep the main thing the main thing”. I have never forgotten that simple sentence. You have to keep the main thing the main thing.In our walk with God, we have to rem

Today, I am offering a challenge. It is a challenge to be humble, to have a softened heart, opened ears, and pray real quick for some discernment to be aware of what I want to teach you today. Because this might challenge some of you to release things that you have held onto for a really long time. And even though you have held onto it like a comfort blanket, you also don’t like how it makes you feel. I am talking about all the default emotions your mind is currently set you. Specifically the ne

155. Imitating Christ’s humility

Today, I want to talk about humility. I feel like this is a topic that isn’t touched as much as others, but it certainly is something we need more of in this world. Just do any quick search in google or Pinterest and so many of the self-help quotes you see are so self absorbed and self-involved. “Focus on just you” was one of them. “”Focus on yourself, don’t get lost in other people” was another. “Find yourself” “”It doesn’t matter what others are doing but what you are doing.” And while all of

156. How Do I Share About Jesus?

Today, we are going to tackle a topic that, honestly, I feared for most of my teenage years. Maybe fear isn’t the right word, but I had a lot of questions on it. It was the term disciple. I would hear Matt. 4:19 said in church “And He said unto them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” And we would talk about the great commission in Matt 26:19-20 “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teac

157. Why do I feel like something is still missing?

Today’s devotional was inspired by one of my favorite songs. If you don’t know this song, you need to go download it. It is by Elevation Worship called “graves to gardens”. These are the lyrics that got me. “I searched the world But it couldn't fill me. Man's empty praise And treasures that fade Are never enough. Then You came along And put me back together. And every desire Is now satisfied Here in Your love.”So this is for anyone who struggles with self-confidence. You worry about what other p

Today, we are going to dive into God’s grace, mercy and forgiveness. Perhaps there is some past sin in your life that is like a dark cloud hovering over your head. Or perhaps it’s not in the past but it’s very much in the present, right now today. It is a huge source of shame and guilt. You’re definitely not proud of it. It might even make you feel like you’re too far from God’s forgiveness. It’s just something that no matter how much to pursue Him, how much you read your Bible, how much you go

161. Anger Management

Today’s episode is inspired by a comment left on my Instagram page by Melissa Silva @melsil81. She asked “how to handle anger in your heart when someone has done you wrong.” Isn’t that such a deep and personal question to seek guidance in?! And, let's be real sis, we need to know how to handle anger better in our day to day lives, not just when someone did you wrong. But someone going 10 miles under the speed limit is enough to feel like someone did me wrong. I gotta turn up that klove Jesus mus

162. A Woman Who Fears The Lord Is Greatly To Be Praised

Happy belated Mothers Day to all of my momma listeners out there! In honor of it being Mother's day last week, I wanted to take the time to break down one of my favorite passages in the Bible: A wife of noble character, Proverbs 31:10-21.In this episode, I break down some of my favorite parts to give us a clearer vision of what we should strive to be more like as a virtuous woman. You don't have to be a wife or a mom to learn and grow from this passage. Some of the thoughts I tackle are:I want t

163. Listener Request Episode - Staying Consistent With Our Quiet Time

Today’s episode comes from a comment by @autumn_bottom. She commented “staying motivated, staying consistent. I will be on top of prayer and devotional and Bible study one week and then the next is just a wash!” And goodness, how many of yall can relate to that comment?! I know you do because this is probably one of these most asked questions I get in my DMs or comment sections. So many struggle with their daily Bible reading, daily prayer time, daily quiet time. You want to do it. You know you

164. Finding Your Joy

Today, we are going to be talking about joy! Everyone wants joy. Everyone wants to feel happy. But how? Where can I find it? We are taught to attach our joy to temporary things. If you want to be happy and never be sad, go and achieve these temporary things that won’t last. There is no way that a temporary thing will provide you with everlasting joy. Nope. Not gonna happen. No way. Why in the world did we buy into the idea that forever joy, forever happiness can come from things that fade away?

165. Casting your worry on Him

Hey friends! How have you been?! We are getting all settled in here at the Reynolds household. I am ready to get back into my routine, sharing more inspirational content on my social media. Got back into my more quiet time with God in my new office. It was hard to get back into that routine after being off of it for a little over a week. My body was tired and the voice telling me “you’re tired. It’s ok Just sleep. You deserve the rest,” was just so loud this week! Oh I know that is because I did

166. COACHING SESSION- The Attitude Of Our Minds (previously share episode)

Big thanks to my coaching client, Sydney, for allowing me to record one of our coaching session and share it publicly with everyone!-------------------------------------------------------------------In this episode, I am giving you insight into what a mentoring session with me sounds like! This specific session really dug deep into what the bible calls "the attitude of our minds". We focused on how we are calling to "put on our new life", what that looks like, and how our walk as Christian wome

167. Whatever Is True And Noble

Today’s episode is going to have some self reflection in it for you. (yay! We always love it when we have to self reflect, huh?) *insert sarcasm*) But I want to bring some light to what we choose to consume daily. I’m not really talking about what we eat, although the passage I am going to read talked about eating stew. But what do you allow yourself to consume with your ears, eyes, and how that translates into our thoughts. We will be in 2 Kings 4. In this passage, the prophets in this passage

168. Be Influencers For Christ

Today, I wanted to help guide you through the struggle of feeling called to spread the Good News. You know you need to make disciples of others, be fishers of men (or women)...yet...how??How do I bring it up? I’m afraid they will feel like I am pushing my faith on people. I see their sin, do I call them out on that? What am I supposed to do?! And while this is a super complex topic, I am going to guide you through a way to begin, a place to focus. Isn’t that the hardest part? Just knowing where

Mar 29,2021 28:00

169. How Great Is Our God!

Today’s episode is (hopefully) going to serve as a reminder to us to keep the main thing the main thing. We can get caught up in teaching, learning, memorizing scripture, “is this a sin? Is that a sin?”...and don’t get me wrong. All of those things are so important! But I want to refocus on, not on us as the center of our spiritual universe, but who should be at the center of our universe: God.I think we innocently forget to put Him at the center of everything we do. We tend to focus more on wha

Mar 22,2021 22:24

170. Worship While You Wait

Today, I wanted to take a lesson from my own life and use it as inspiration for this episode. There can be something powerful in a “me too” testimony and I have a “me too” moment for you. Does anyone else struggle with waiting? Basically, is anyone else like me? You plan everything out (even possibly in faith) and when it doesn’t happen exactly as you envisioned it, you get agitated. And then you begin to dwell on the delayed timeline and that compounds worry on top of anxiety. This causes you t

171. CHRISTIAN LIVING SERIES: Pray Like David

I feel like, normally, when we think of prayer we think it is just talking to God and asking Him for things. And as believers, we are called to pray, petition and ask. I think of Phil 4:6 that says “Do not be anxious about anything but in EVERYTHING by PRAYER AND PETITION, present your requests to God.” Validation, check, yes we can pray and petition about everything. We have John 15:5-7 where Jesus is talking about being the vine and we are the branches. Apart from Jesus, we wither away. And th

172. CHRISTIAN LIVING SERIES: His Will, Not Our Own

We are continuing on with our Christian living series and today, we are going to tackle that internal battle of our own will vs. God’s will for our lives. Sometimes those two things line up perfectly! And sometimes they are polar opposites. So, as Christians, what do we do? I think we know the right answer, but it’s one thing to know the right answer and actually choose to walk and trust that right answer. You know what I am talking about. I will bet that a few times in your life you asked for s

173. CHRISTIAN LIVING SERIES: Attitude of Gratitude

Hey friends! I hope you guys are staying warm! This episode is from my own personal lessons from this past week. If you haven't heard, major parts of Texas lost power for days while in the middle of a winter snow storm. For most of last year, my home did not have power. We basically lived in a tiny hotel room for four days. All of our food in our fridge went bad. School was cancelled all week. It was the perfect storm for some mommy stress, anxiety, and overwhelm. I struggled mentally this past

174. CHRISTIAN LIVING SERIES: Being Faithful In The Little Things

We might “know”, as Christians, we are supposed to think and act differently that the world...but what does that even mean? How am I supposed to act? What does the bible say about the do’s and don’t of Christian living. So this inspired a new series I am calling “Christian Living”. For the next few weeks, God willing, there will be a new Christian living topic we are going to discuss. How are we truly supposed to live as Christians? How can I set myself apart? How can I truly live a life that i

175. How Can I Be More Confident?

Are you one that identifies with a lack of confidence?I have a feeling a lot of ladies are going to click on because of one trigger word: confident. If there is one topic that I get extra fired up about, it’s confidence. But so many of us walk around not feeling very confident, do we? We lack confidence in our bodies, our skills, our gifts, our time management, our self control, accomplishing goals (whether it be health goals, business goals, spiritual goals) and our lack of confidence holds us

176. Having a God-centered marriage // Relationship Series Part 2

Today, this is for all of the ladies who had him put a ring on it. Yes, I am talking to the wives and future wives. All my single ladies, stay tuned in. This podcast is going to have so many valuable pieces of info in it so you can enter your marriage (or future marriage) as the best possible virtuous wife you can be! Now ladies, I will be focusing almost entirely on you, on us. It can be so easy to look at all of the things our spouse does wrong...what he does or doesn’t bring to the table. But

Ask and you shall receive, right?This episode kicks off our Godly Relationship series! First stop, Begin Content in your Singleness! Now, I could have done just another episode, but as a 34 year old married mom of 2, it has been a hot minute since I have experiences singleness. So I found this was the perfect opportunity to bring a special guest onto our podcast! Our first ever interview podcast is here!In this episode, I interview my sweet Tiktok friend Nadine Krill! She is a 22 year old old fr

178. How can I hear God’s voice better?

Is this the podcast episode you’ve been waiting for? I get asked this question multiple times a week. And it’s time to tackle it! I want to help you remove the barriers that are keeping you from hearing God’s voice. And the passage of The Good Shepherd sheds light on a question I get asked so much, “How can I hear God’s voice?” And it also serves as a warning to us to be aware of actual things in this world that are trying to manipulate and influence us away from our Good Shepherd. We can hear

179. Is manifesting ok for a Christian to do??

Hey friends! I am going to tackle a little bit on a controversial topic. I haven’t been able to let go of this topic all week in my head. And, based on the response this got on Tiktok, I have a feeling it is one of those topics that doesn’t get talked about a whole lot, but it needs to be! So venturing a little bit outside of that comfort zone and those safer topics and we are just going to go for it! Now, if you have no idea what I am talking about… “what is manifesting”? Then don’t worry about

180. BONUS EPISODE - How should I respond to what is going on in the world as a Christian woman

Hey friends. I hope you guys are doing ok with everything that happened just a few days ago. I wasn’t going to address it, I don’t get political on my platforms. But as I was taking a shower this evening, I had a lot of thoughts. And I felt that prompting by God to record this bonus episode. I knew it was a prompting from God because I sat on the couch for about 45 minutes thinking through my thoughts still, trying to ignore the fact that I had the voice inside of me telling me to address this.

181. We Reap What We Sow - Planting Good seeds that Honor God in 2021

I encourage you in 2021 to pursue a “better me" perspective than a "new me" perspective. You don't have to start over. Know that you have already been built up to be in the position you’re in. Your past letdowns or mistakes don’t make you a failure to start 2021. Everything you have endured, even as painful as so of it may have been, all build up your endurance, persperverence, strength, hope and faith. And now, it is time to sow new seed to have a better harvest. We reap what we sow.Now stay w

182. Protect God’s Temple and Resist the enemy

Let me tell you what I have been hyper aware of this past week...the enemy. The liar, the devil, satan. I’ve been hyper aware of his lies in my life, the lives of my friends, even the lives of my friends on social media just based on stories and posts I see. He is so good and scheming and masking how he is working through the world. So good, in fact, we might not even blame him. We don’t even notice his hand in so many things. We have become desensitized to him and his schemes. I still ask mys

183. How do I love thy neighbor as myself?

Last week, the word “love” was bothering me. That sounds funny to say, how can “love” bother you? But it was bothering me because I had unanswered questions. If we are supposed to love thy neighbor, how does that apply to them vs. their sin? Our phrase “love is love” bothered me and I couldn’t put my finger on why. How can I love yet correct sin? Is that even possible? Does love thy neighbor mean I don’t correct? That doesn’t seem right since God hates sin. But how does love and correction work

184. Growing closer to Christ Part 3: Faith without works is dead

Today, we are wrapping up our final episode of the series “Growing closer to Christ”. In part 1, we talked about the genealogy of Christ. How he descended from sinners, a long lineage of sinners. And that was on purpose! It’s symbolic of how Christ is the ultimate sacrifice. How His blood does cover all of our sins and shame. And, most importantly in my opinion, how we can come as we are. Then, in Part 2 we talked about what faith is all about. What is faith? How do I get faith? And I really cha

185. Growing closer to Christ - Part 2: What is TRUE faith?

Do you have something in your house that you had good intentions to use, but you just never got around to using it? A treadmill? One of those exercise mirrors? Maybe it’s an air fryer, instant pot, or stand mixers? Does that thing do you any good just sitting there? Absolutely not, right?! We can’t just stare at a treadmill hoping to get into shape. That instant pot is not going to just cook food magically on its own. Trust me, I’ve tried! All of these things require action on our ends. Our fait

187. Growing closer to Christ - Part 1: Come as you are

Over and over I was presented with the same or similar question, “How can I grow closer to Jesus?” Other variations include, “How do I have a relationship with Jesus?” “My relationship with Jesus is broken, how do I heal it?” So, in honor of my putting my Christmas decor up for the year (I take Christmas very seriously over here ha!), lets spend some of this time of year focusing on the main thing: JESUS! And more importantly, how can you have that intimate relationship with Jesus Christ, too. S

188. Called to a quiet spirit

Today might be a little difficult to accept by a few of you. And by a few of you, I mean me. If you have a spirit that is loud, outgoing, passionate, energized, opinionated, what we are going to talk about today will be challenging. Because we are going to tackle 1 Peter 3:3-4. It says “Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel— rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spiri

Nov 16,2020 25:14

189. Be IMITATORS of Christ, not just believers

“How do I know what is Christ-like and what is not?”I get this question a lot. God’s standard for us is a tall order! But He calls us to be less like the world and more like Christ! We can live under the influence of culture or we can live under the influence of God. In other words, we have free will as a Christian and daily we have to ask ourselves, “are our actions, words, decisions, etc being more influenced by the world or by God?” What is “good” in the eyes of the world doesn’t always live

191. Faith over Fear: Trust the Process

The background of the title is actually an inspiration from my husband’s football team. Their team motto is TTP- Trust the process. It serves as their daily reminder that in order to be a force to be reckoned with, in order to see the end result they want (which is obviously to win games), they have to trust the process. They have to trust that the pain of a vigorous weight lifting program will pay off. They have to trust that many hours of tough practices will pay off. They have to trust the on

193. Having Faith ＞ Fear: Part 1

Today, we are going to talk about that dreaded thing we call fear. Yep. That thing we carry around with us. That thing our minds tell us is needed to “protect us”. That thought that keeps daughters of the King like you and I playing small ball. Our old buddy we have let hang around for way too long. Today, we are going to tell it to shut the heck up and go back where it came from! Today’s episode starts a new series titled Faith > Fear. This is part 1. our minds tell us something totally differe

194. Stop comparing yourself

This topic really hits home for me. Jealousy and comparison are two places in my life where the devil knows he can get a foothold into my confidence, courage, and boldness. And until recently, I have been so ashamed to admit this fault.There is always someone with a prettier IG feed. Someone who is always in better shape than you. Someone who makes more money than you. And what the world doesn’t teach us is how to handle this conundrum. We don’t take a class in HS or college that teaches us an a

195. Caught in the Grumbling

Today, we are going to the Old Testament, the book of Exodus! We are picking up right after Moses led his people out of Egypt. We had the plagues, we had the parting of the Red Sea, and now we find the Israelites in their first few days of being free people. God had just finished performing all of these unexplainable plagues, they just witnessed the parting of the sea, a MIRACLE. If you were to witness a miracle, you would think that you would be faithful to the Lord forever, right?Barely 3 days

196. Where will this path of faith lead me?

Today, we are back in the book of Ruth! Last week, we dove into the very first chapter of the book. And I left you with a challenge to step into your inner Ruth. Let Orpah take the bench for a while, and walk in faith like Ruth walked. But what happens to Ruth and Naomi?! What happens next after I walk in obedience to God? Remember, our focus is faith and following faith in obedience to God, even when it’s full of uncertainty. And sometimes there is work to be done in your waiting.Have you ever

Sep 28,2020 26:14

197. Which path will you take?

Life is hard. Life is demanding. Life can let us down. People can let us down. Life can have sucky moments. - So this takes me to the book of Ruth. The beginning of Ruth starts off with life being hard.There are two sister-in-laws who just became widows, Ruth and Orpah. They faced a choice after their husbands died: go back to their old culture and what they knew, or do down this new path of faith and uncertainty? They Moabite women. Their culture worshiped false gods. But the second choice was

First, I have my Freedom in your Faith self-paced course!

199. Faith-Seeker Series Part 2: How can I have faith when everything around me is falling apart?

Today, we continue our faith-seekers series and I wanted to tackle a very tough topic. How can I have faith when everything around me is falling apart? Gosh, that is such a honest question and I would bet many of us, including myself, have asked this a time or two in our lives. Do not feel like you are less than a Christian if you have asked this question before. We are human. We are not perfect. There is no harm in asking honest questions when you’re searching for an answer. The harm can happen

Sep 07,2020 22:08

200. Faith-Seeker Series Part 1: Am I worthy enough?

We are diving into a Faith-seekers series. This is for those of you who are seeking that closer relationship with God. But you don’t know where to start. You doubt your faith. You can’t hear God. You feel like you’re too far gone. - Sister, you are NONE of these things. So to kick this off, we are going to study Jesus’ first miracle, turning water into wine and how He saves His best for your last.This is the first miracle of Jesus - It was a small miracle. Nothing grandiose. Normally, this verse
