This week we are going deeper into discovering what it means to put our faith into action. Seeing how the "Hall of Faithers" (including some new ones) took faith from knowledge to partnering with God in what He was doing. We will also see how that applies to us today and look at the ways faith has life - it grows, transforms and develops.

RESPOND:
• Honestly, how has your faith in Jesus been showing itself lately?
• What are some real ways that you can begin to SHOW people what you have faith in?

Actions unlock the power resident in faith.

Make sure you listen all the way to the end for a VERY special request!

Giants. They are big, scary and are designed to tell us what to do. But what happens when you take faith, God's power, protected by the armor and look those giants directly in the face? In that moment you decide that the giant has no hold over you and you were designed to defeat it. In this episode we talk about what it means to face those giants head on, looking at them from God's perspective and walking out the victory in faith of what He has promised.

I don’t want to fight my battles any other way, do you?

Pray for all these things and watch Him work. Let the Holy Spirit lead you. Praise and worship Him for what He has done and what He can do. Take refuge in the hope we have in Jesus. ♥

Let God fight for you and know the battle is already won!

Blessings in the battle,

Gifts are given because we think the other person will like it, we thought of them when we saw it and they also show the unique relationships we have with the people in our lives. How would you feel if you gave someone a gift and they never even opened it? The gift was never used and it sat collecting dust? In this episode we are talking about how God has given us the gift of faith, HIS faith, and at times we let it collect dust never opening it up to His power, knowledge, presence or wisdom.

It's time to dust it off and use it!

Getting into the Faith Hall of Fame

You’ve probably heard of the Hollywood “Walk of Fame,” the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the “Hall of Fame” of various sports – but have you ever heard of the faith, “Hall of Fame?” That’s how the new testament book of Hebrews, chapter 11 is often referred.

We should all aspire to be in Faith’s Hall of Fame!

This week's episode side we will talk with some sisterfriends about there journey of The Faith Hall of Fame. There were times in our stories were God opend our eyes to see Him working over and over again that no matter what the temptation or struggle – God was there and He was the answer. He has always been there for us – so we should always act like it. Always. That’s what gets us into your faith hall of fame.

Let’s dive into these amazing testimonies.

You will be able to see– by what we believe, NOT what we achieve! It’s a path of peace.

After you have taken His truth to heart, put pen to paper and write your very own name into an “In faith sentence….” as if it were to appear the Faith Hall of Fame. May this be a reminder that you too have the opportunity to carry on the legacy of faith in action!

in faith sentence....

I want to be a woman filled with faith, who steps out boldly, and STILL TRUSTS even in the face of uncertainty and opposition. This was my truest self, rising to the occasion over the pack of lies I had given myself over and over- I walk by faith in the Lord.

When Transformation Works in Your Friendship.

Transformation is all about change.

Moving away from the things that you have outgrown and walking into a space that was made just for you. When it comes to friendships there is a transformation that happens that allows us to deepen the authentic relationship. Knowing who God is, and that we have a friend in Him, we see how the relationship works.

This episode we share the kind of transformation that speaks truth, holds us accountable, gives community, refuels and refocuses.

Going Deep

What kind of friend do you wish you had? What kind of friend do you want to be?

Lets uw know in the comments and together, let's strive to be the best kind of friends!

The Seven Deadly Sins. We have all heard about them, seen them in movies, on TV and various interpretations.

But when was the last time you looked at them through the lens of the Word? What does the Bible say about sin and how it destroys our relationship with God? Over the next seven weeks we are going to open up the conversation regarding each one of these sins to not only have an understanding rooted in truth, but also to see where in our own lives we can shed His light.

Remember, that no sin is worse than another, but a few seem to trip up most people.

The trouble with lust isn’t that we lust. As we've said before, we were born to lust. You see, God created humans as beings with strong desires.

One of my favorite verses is Colossians 3:1-4. I pray that you’ll memorize it and then make sure you also practice it: “If then, you have been raised with Christ, seek those things that are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things, for you have died and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.”

What comes to your mind when you hear the word gluttony?

A huge table with unlimited supply of decadent food?

Or a closet filled the brim with shoes and purses?

Have you ever thought about how these external things actually keep you from God and attach your identity to something that will never fulfill you? In this episode we are breaking down gluttony, why it is considered a sin and looking at one of the most important exchanges in the word.
