It is important to realize that God has the perfect plan for each of our lives and has given us what we have for a purpose, it is also critical to understand that time and chance happens to us all (Ecclesiastes 9:11). With all of this in mind, I want to encourage you to not compare yourself or your circumstances to others. God created

and appointed you a (insert your divine calling here) unto the nations, Jeremiah 1:5.

We are meant to run our own races and everyone will deal with differing setbacks, however we serve a just God and He will never deal us a card that He knows we can not handle. Dear Young Christians, join us as we discuss on how to never compare yourself!

Dear Young Christian, You Are Precious to God

You don’t have to meet the world’s standards of beauty, education, or success to be worthy in His eyes. God calls you the apple of His eye, His prized possession.

Dear young Christian, it’s time you began to see yourself through the lens of His love. You are not ordinary. You are chosen.

Say it. Believe it. Live it.

Listen now to be reminded of your worth, your identity, and your calling in Christ.

Anchor Scripture: Zechariah 2:8 – "Whoever touches you touches the apple of His eye."

It's September, and with all the talk about the 'great lock-in,' it’s the perfect time to remind ourselves where our focus truly belongs—on Christ. It’s easy to get caught up loving the things of this world, but Scripture calls us to stay grounded in faith. Don’t be like Demas, who abandoned his mission because he loved the present world. Instead, let’s be like Onesimus—once separated, but restored to the kingdom family and made useful for God’s work.

‘Perhaps the reason he was separated from you for a little while was that you might have him back forever’ (Philemon 1:15).

If you’ve been distracted, this is a call to return, refocus, and be fruitful for the kingdom.

How many things has God done for you? A lot.
How many times have you shared them? Probably not enough!

As young Christians, we are called to share our testimonies — because our God is so good and so great! In this episode, Debby opens up about her own testimonies and encourages you to boldly share yours too.

YOUR TESTIMONY IS NEVER OUTDATED!

Okay, so maybe it's not your actual birthday, or maybe your birthday has passed. But this episode is definitely relatable. Birthdays are meant to be a time of celebration, but for many young Christians, these moments of joy can be overshadowed by unexpected feelings of sadness or 'birthday depression.' In this episode, we dive into why it's so hard for some to fully embrace their special day, despite the outward celebrations. We explore the internal struggles, the pressures of expectations, and the deeper spiritual challenges that often get in the way of experiencing pure joy. Tune in for an honest discussion about finding balance between gratitude and self-reflection, and how we can better celebrate ourselves, our faith, and the blessings that come with another year of life.

In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most essential yet often neglected practices in the life of a young Christian: prayer. Why is it that so many of us struggle to set aside time for this intimate conversation with God? Join us as we explore the reasons behind the disconnect, the power of prayer in strengthening our faith, practical steps to overcome distractions. Whether you’re a seasoned believer or just starting your journey, this episode will inspire you to reconnect with the heart of your faith through prayer. Tune in and be encouraged to make prayer a priority once again
