S5 EP 5 - Dear Loved One Part 2

This year again, I asked married friends within my community to write letters to their spouses, and it is a testament to the love that they share, a beautiful, warm, and enduring love. It’s proof that marriage is a beautiful vocation. Curating these letters has been the highlight of my day, and I am truly appreciative of it. For all the single pringles. You are truly loved.

S4 EP 12 - The Idol of Marriage

I hope that in listening to this episode, you understand that you were created for more and while love and marriage is an amazing institution and sacrament, there is more to your life than that and we don’t make an idol out of something so beautiful.

S4 EP 7 - Come and Die

S4 EP 7 - Come and Die

This sounds like a morbid title, but it is a reminder that we are called to die daily to self, to the things that keep us from giving our yes to God, die to our pride, to our self-righteousness and the list goes on.
I hope that we are reminded that when Christ calls us, He bids us: "Come and Die"

S4 EP 5 - FEAR

S4 EP 5 - FEAR

For me, fear is a show of distrust and often times a reason not to try. I will fail so why bother trying but we are called to have Faith, to silence the nagging voice of fear, worry and doubt, to know that your Father is capable and dependable

S3 EP 1 - What Gift are you giving Jesus

S3 EP 1 - What Gift are you giving Jesus

I remember this quote: "It's Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the air". Christmas has always been a time of gift-giving et al and I read in my devotional that most of us have turned this season to a period of consumerism with a touch of spirituality and while it's important to give and out-do one another in love, Christmas is the beginning of the greatest love story told, Christ is the greatest and best gift ever and we are reminded to offer ourselves and hearts as gifts to Christ. Have yourself a Merry Christmas.

S2 EP 12 - Season of Waiting

S2 EP 12 - Season of Waiting

No one likes to wait, if we can get it now why wait, however there are lessons to be learnt in a season of waiting, it becomes an opportunity to build up our faith and develop unwavering trust in God. We have come to the end of this season and as we journey through our season of waiting we can decide to wait with worry or rest in the knowledge that God's plans are always for our good.

S2 EP 11 - Vulnerability

S2 EP 11 - Vulnerability

Vulnerability scares us, it scares me. I saw it as a weakness and I hid myself from people because I didn't want to be taken advantage of, I wanted people to see me as strong and trust is difficult. But Abba says let me tear down the walls, drop the facade, I love you the way you are, open up to me. You don't need to keep struggling on your own.

S2 EP 10 - Learning to ask Why

S2 EP 10 - Learning to ask Why

Death is painful and until you have walked in the shoes of someone who has lost a loved one, it is often hard to understand their grief. I recently lost my grandma and somedays the pain gets a lot, somedays it doesn't feel like it has sunk in that she is gone, however I am learning to savor the memories and lean into Abba when the pain hits me and that's what Abba is asking you to do today, lean into Him for comfort and succor, you don't have to be strong.

S2 EP 9 - Cycles

S2 EP 9 - Cycles

Anything that has control over you and is not in alignment with God’s Word is an addiction and often we get trapped in the cycle of sin and repentance and being trapped in a cycle is the worst place to be in and it is easy to trivialize it and not learn from the past but the devil learns from it and becomes more strategic in attacking us and our walk with God. Today is a call to reflect on our lives and see the areas that call for amendment, everything you want is in Christ. You can also check out the Qualified Preacher podcast on Anchor.

S2 EP 8 - Conversations with Abba Part 2

S2 EP 8 - Conversations with Abba Part 2

These letters expose my heart before God, sometimes the letters are painful to write, other times I am bursting at the seams with what I want to write. All in all it represents growth to me and the person Abba is shaping me to be. I hope they speak to your heart and situation.

S2 EP 3 - The Audit

Today's episode is simply a reminder to look inwards, to sit down with ourselves and audit our lives holding it against Christ and see how far we have fared and the areas that we need to do better on. This audit needs to be done periodically, he who thinks that he stands, let him take heed lest he falls

EP 11 - A Call to Forgiveness

It's very easy to say forgive and forget until we are the ones who have to forgive what we term a grevious offence. However forgiveness is a call we must all answer to, no matter the offence or how many times the offence is committed, we must forgive as Christ forgives us.
