It's the holiday season, and it can be a stressful time especially as a single gal!

In this episode, I talk about ways to avoid/cut down on stresses from travel, gift buying,  hosting and being in the moment with the present and family.

Today's episode is Single & Strong (Part 2). In this episode, there's a quick re-cap on Part 1 episode (go back and listen, if you haven't yet!) Are you looking to learn more about attaining productivity & fruitfulness in your walk with God? Listen to Part 1 & Part 2 for more nuggets! In this episode, I'm talking about the physical aspect of looking after ourselves with vitamins, nutrition, and daily exercise from a scriptural perspective.

Scriptures mentioned:

• Galatians 5:22-23 ~ But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!
• Ephesians 6:10 ~ Finally my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 
• 2 Peter 1:5-7 ~ In view of all this, make every effort to respond to God’s promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge, 6 and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness, 7 and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone.
• Proverbs 23:7 ~ For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. “Eat and drink!” he says to you, But his heart is not with you.
• Proverbs 4:23 ~ Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.
• Joshua 1:8 ~ This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
• John 14:6 ~ Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
• Romans 12:2 ~ Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

Today's episode is split into 2 parts, with this being Single & Strong (Part 1). In this episode, I'm talking about being strengthened not to survive but instead to thrive in the fruitful life that God has called you into! I talk about strength, I talk about training and I talk about faith too - it's a juicy episode!

Scriptures mentioned:

• *Philippians 3:14 ~ I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. *Verse was not mentioned but was alluded to.
  
• Ephesians 6:10 ~ Finally my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 
  
• 2 Peter 1:5-7 ~ In view of all this, make every effort to respond to God’s promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge, 6 and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness, 7 and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone.

Today's episode is a follow-up from the last episode, Single & Silent, which is talking about when you are in a season of feeling like God isn't present. I talk about purpose and its misuse in the Christian community. I take inspiration from Moses' encounter with God to talk about experiencing God & His presence in the midst of our simple, repetitive everyday lives.

Scriptures mentioned:

• Matthew 6:33 ~ Seek first God's kingdom*
• Exodus 3:1-3 ~ Moses and the burning bush
• 1 John 4:4 ~ But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.

*Mentioned Matthew 6:13 in this episode, but meant verse 33!

Have you ever felt lost when it comes to where you are going in life? If we're honest, we've all been there at some point.

In this episode, I talk about 1 simple question that helps us recognize how we know we're lost! I also use 2 scriptures from the book of John to re-align & re-focus vision and maintain the course!

Scriptures mentioned & read: John 15:5; 7 NLT
