Welcome! Today's episode is about fear, the definition and emotion behind fear. Why do we fear, and what we do with it. God has so many promises in scripture about fear. God demonstrates his sovereignty when we depend, believe and trust in Him through scripture and in our own everyday life. Join me today, in learning what we can do with this anticipated emotion, of fear.

Scriptures today: Daniel 6, 2 Timothy 1:7, Mark 5:36, Isaiah 41:13, Proverb 29:25.

Do you ever just have this feeling, of this void within you; you just want to keep feeding it but you're not sure how to put your finger on it with 'what' to feed it with? Does this make sense? We are all striving for this completeness, this happiness-we think; if I can just get a hold of that, or this-I will be satisfied. Maybe you made it to that point, and you're still wondering why the gapping hole is still there?

Please join me on today's episode!

School starts again with a new school year, new shoes, new swag, new haircuts. We want our children to succeed and to be brave in all that they do, while pursuing kindness and compassion for others. Let's pray for our children together as they start or as they approach the new school year.

In this episode, I also share grief of those who are not here with us, to start the new school year and what we have to look forward to as time moves forward. Please join me! And-thank you for being here :)

Welcome back to a new episode of Growth Refined! Today's pod is about the Gospel of John chapter 3, with the religious leader Nicodemus and Jesus, God's son, about who Jesus is. It's a refreshing perspective of Jesus teaching us to not overthink on our faith, but to accept who He is and knowing it in your heart that it is true.

Please join me today, I would love to have you here. Thank you for listening and blessing me with this ministry!

Hey listeners,

Thanks for coming on here to view my pod! I hope you like what you are seeing, and are curious to join by pushing play. Today's episode is with my good friend Emily, devoted mother and wife who loves Jesus and who has experienced loss and knows grief. We take a twist in this episode and the interview is on ME! Emily asks deep questions in regards to my own grief, trauma and experience. I hope you find some time with your cup of joe while your folding laundry, doing dishes or driving to listen-its lengthy, but enduring..maybe a 'push play' and 'pause' kind of rhythm for you. Take care, God Bless.

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

You know what we keep in the back of our mind, that if we just tell ourselves over and over its not true, it will just go away? I name a few of these yucky feelings we just don't want to be true, but they are...as with the title "Hard". I go through some hard truths, hard feelings on our realities of every day life. There is a beautiful gift to cling onto with hope, with salvation at hand through all the reality of today's world and our personal lives. Please join me for a new episode of Growth Refined <3

Scripture readings: Ecclesiastes 12:5, Ecclesiastes 9:12, Ezekiel 36:26, John 14:13, Romans 10:13, Psalm 34:18

Hey again! Thank you for coming across my pod, it means a lot you are considering listening. Growth Refined was designed to give you a safe place to come to, to grow and develop your relationship with God. I speak about real life things, that even I myself walk through every single day, encouraging and reminding myself and others on how to overcome, go against the darkness and walk with Christ.

This episode is about overcoming cursing with speech but also towards others and how the power of our words and our speech can take great effect both negatively and positively. Join me as we dive into scripture and what God is telling us with our mouth and tongue.

Scripture: Psalm 34:13, Proverbs 18:21, James 3: 8-12
