Wait! Don't Do Good Works Yet!
Why did Jesus tell his disciples to wait before telling people the gospel? He said to wait for the "promise of the Father" (i.e. the Holy Spirit). But why?
Listen to how our good works can be tainted by bad intentions.
Find out why we can live a life of good works and according to Jesus, still not "know Him."

Know What's Going On Or Else
Round 2 of our discussion about our current times and what believers must do as responsible stewards of our localities. Is God behind the plans, candidates, laws, and changes in your area (policies, schools, events, economy etc)? If not, you must care and you must do something. Key scripture: Unless the Lord builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the Lord guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain.

14 Min Momlife Pause - You, Your Kids and A Supernatural Way to Serve God
1 Corinthians 12, 13, and 14 reveal God’s desire to use us to love others, through our character (1 Corinthians 13 - how love behaves and Galatians 5 – the fruit of the Spirit) and through divinely-extended endowments called the spiritual gifts.
Tina shares about her upcoming small group "A Fruitful Vineyard" https://cultivateabetterlife.gumroad.com/l/AFV3
Each gift is unique and communicates God’s love, care, and wisdom to the recipient. Partnering with God to extend these gifts to others is an awe-inspiring experience.
"A Fruitful Vine" is Track 3 of Changing the Tide Small Group Series. Tracks 1 & 2 not necessary to join.

2022 May Be Uncomfortable! But God! Future of the Body Ep 3
God does amazing things in wilderness and desert seasons, those uncomfortable times that we never want to come. Matthew 7: 24-27 talks about torrential rain, floods, high winds...how will our houses stand? What perspective will we have during uncomfortable times?

14 Min #Momlife Pause - Controversial Issues Mom Small Group
Track 1 of the Changing the Tide Mom Small Group was called Sowing Truth, Battling Confusion. We tackled topics that the Body of Christ is divided over: racism, social vs biblical justice, women's role in the church, gender identity, sexuality, prosperity gospel, name it claim it and healing.
In this episode I share a few scriptures that caught our attention, and increased our desire to dig into the Word to see what God thinks about these issues.

Key episode 22 Scriptures:
Hebrews 13:6 (ESV) The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?”
1 John 4:18 (ESV) There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.
AMP There is no fear in love [dread does not exist]. But perfect (complete, full-grown) love drives out fear, because fear involves [the expectation of divine] punishment, so the one who is afraid [of God’s judgment] is not perfected in love [has not grown into a sufficient understanding of God’s love].
Truth and Delusion - Ep 21
What is truth? Can we determine our own truth? When we reference a few Bible verses or a Bible story, can we be sure that we are getting what God wanted conveyed? What does "rightly divide the Word of Truth" really mean?
John 16:13 When he the Spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you into all Truth.

14 Min Momlife Pause - Mind-Numbing Exhaustion
God hears us, when we are mentally-taxes, emotionally-drained, and physically exhausted!
For my sighing comes before I eat, And my groanings pour out like water.(Job 3:24)
Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. (Rom 8:26)
Exciting News! Cultivating the Souls of Parents can be pre-ordered on online and storefront bookstores. The ebook is only available online).
I hope you laugh more than cringe as I share stories of my life as a mom of six, ranging from 28 to 8 years old. Raising kids involves a lot of energy. The work is more than potty training and being their chauffeur. Under the surface of parenting is a task many of us weren’t prepared for: navigating the realm of the soul. Our souls. Parenting requires a continuous examination of this mysterious part of our creation. We operate from it–motives, mindsets, attitudes, and triggers. God, our Potter, wants to cultivate the soil of our soils and remove anything that would hinder the fruit of the Spirit from coming forth.
He is whispering, “I know it’s hard, but I am with you! I see you are trying, and I am your guide! You made a mistake, and I forgive you! I love you, and I’m cheering you forward!” The beauty of parenting can be a process of brutally naked surrender to God, who affirms our efforts and gives us courage on a journey for which none of us are prepared.

Momma Trauma - 14 Minute Momlife Pause
We are moms. Our love for our kids goes deep. As a result, we are going to experience emotional hardship at times.
James 5: 13 Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms.
Prov 10:1 But a foolish son is the grief of his mother.
Prov 23:25 Let your father and your mother be glad, And let her who bore you rejoice.
Matthew 19:14 But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”
1 Cor 13: 11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face.

Are We Failing the Word of God?
“Are We Failing the Word of God?” by not vetting every thought, every idea, every media broadcast, every thing that we learn, read, or hear with the Word of God? In other words, are we not taking every reasoning, idea, or opinion that we have or that we hear into the obedience of Christ? Are we not casting down “high thoughts” ...reasonings that actually disagree with God’s word.

14 Minute Momlife Pause - Holidays are Coming! Check your Emotional Gauge.
Holidays carry a level of stress and this year there are different types of decisions that have to be made--to travel or not to travel, to invite relatives or to quarantine. Tina encourages moms to tune in to their inner world, in other words, check their emotional gauges. Like a car, if we run on empty, something is going to come to a complete stop! When we do not pause to discern any unforgiveness, fear, anxiety, etc, this "stuff" will end up spilling out on everyone else. We must go to the Lord and He will help us reset.
Tina is the author of three books: Cultivating the Souls of Parents, Justice Reframed, and Culture Changers.

"What had happened was..." - Free will and God's Rulebook for Earth
In this debut episode of Digging Deep - Life talk w/ Doug and Tina, the couple talks about:
- Why would God subject Himself to his own rules?
- Why would God let sinful humanity keep a level of responsibility for Earth?
- How in the Father's eyes, sin does not disqualify a believer from sonship and our inheritance as God's children.
Using a baseball analogy, Doug delves into Psalm 24:1, Psalm 115:16, 2 Chronicles 7:14, and the story of the Prodigal Son.
