Ep. 8 Breaking Free: The Hidden World of a Christian Going 'No Contact'
Welcome to our podcast, where we delve into the lesser-known aspects of the Christian faith. Today, we'll be discussing a topic that is often overlooked or even considered taboo: Christians going no contact. This choice can be a challenging one, especially when it comes to family and close relationships. In this episode, we'll explore why some believers choose to distance themselves, how to navigate this decision, and why it's crucial to discuss this subject openly.

Ep 7: Embracing Stillness: Seeking God's Guidance

When we seek first the Kingdom of God, we find will find peace in the wait and in His path for our lives. Sometimes being obedient means being still and relying on God's strength in the stillness.
So, sit back, relax, and join us as we explore the path of stillness and faith.

Ep: 6 How to Chase Christ and Not Just Exist in the Culture of Christ
In this episode, we discuss how to be assured that we are indeed chasing Christ and not just participating in the culture of Christ.
We also delve into the following topics:
- Knowing ourselves
- Being willing to be in the presence of Him....and Him alone
- Praying and meditating on His word
- Living life that exhibits our Christ walk - what do we do behind closed doors, how do we treat others, how do we handle disappointments, are we carrying anger (James 1:20) tells us human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.
- Fruit of the spirit - the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
We hope that this episode will help you on your journey of chasing Christ and not just existing in the culture of Christ.

Ep 2: The Beauty of Forgiveness: How Letting Go Can Help You Heal
The truth is, there is SO much beauty in forgiveness. God doesn’t ask us to do something for nothing, so when He tells us to “Go and forgive,” He has a reason.
When it comes down to it, everything works together... spiritual health, emotional health, and physical health. There is a lot of damage that bitterness can do to our health.
In this episode, you will learn:
The power in forgiveness.
God has a reason for everything He asks of us.
How everything works together.
The power of forgiving your mother and your father.

It’s been a crazy road but we have made it." She is a Jesus Word girl, who loves the Word of God and all it has for her. She enjoys reading and journaling for herself, but for others she has a love to study and teach the Word. She loves spending time with family and friends. Andrea is the the founder of Better Together Ministries. As a ministry she loves that she gets to stand in the gap for each other and able to serve and partner with other ministries. She states, "We are all aiming for the work of our Father in Heaven. Kingdom minded driven to serve. It’s been great." Her heart is to see women walk out what God has placed inside of them. To see how God can take the old man and do something beautiful with the new man, is what makes it all worth it. Andrea likes to remind others that He is Worthy and because HE IS, WE WILL!!

Assign Banquet Seats
Have you ever been to a wedding reception where the bride and groom assigned what table you would sit at? I have! Of course the bridal table is for the bride and groom's extremely close family and friends, the people who they do life with and who are a close part of their relationship and community! The idea of assigning people to the proper place in your life seems unfriendly but it's quite the opposite. It's YOUR responsibility to keep relationships in their rightful place. It's BIBLICAL to use discernment in your everyday relationships! Tune in for more on this topic and how to keep proper boundaries in relationships and family dynamics!

My Story of Pregnancy Loss & Healing
This episode is my story of pregnancy loss, both as a 20-something single gal and a 30-something married woman. Both losses were painful, and in this episode I share how God helped me get healing. The pregnancy loss with my husband, gave me permission and wisdom to finally grieve my very first miscarriage. There was purpose in the pain of my miscarriage with my husband, to heal from my past. My past brought me full circle to here today, speaking with you. I found healing and purpose in the pain of pregnancy loss! I pray to be somebody who can help you in your time of pregnancy loss grief.
