Season 3 - Episode 25 (Season Finale) - Finding Gratitude in Prayer and Purpose Jun 27, 2022

Show notes

IT’S THE SEASON FINALE🎉 This week I speak with Sarah Keeling. She is a God follower, wife, and mom to two boys. Sarah has a background in counseling, loves teaching children the Bible, and Is passionate about helping people around the world know Jesus. Sarah is an author, blogger, and podcast host sharing the love of Jesus to do just that! She started “Heart Work Tees” as a way to encourage other women that their service matters to God and to make a global impact by using the profits to support Bible translation. The profits from “Heart Work Tees” support ladies in South Asia and Ethiopia that are learning to share the Bible in their native languages and then they go back to their local communities and spread hope by telling the Bible stories to all who will listen. Her family has had the privilege to support one of the most dangerous Bible translation projects in Asia, and that is a continual reminder of God's faithfulness. Every update they receive reminds them to get on their knees in prayer for the suffering and persecution that their translation friends are experiencing daily. Sarah Tells us more about the incredible opportunities they have had supporting the Zapotec del istmo project in Mexico. We speak about her life from childhood to the present allowing us to see the golden thread of Jesus working even in times when Sarah may not have seen Him. That’s the amazing thing about telling your story, your own story can be an unimaginable encouragement not just to others, but to you! We all need to take the time to reflect on our lives and allow God to show us all of the places and times that He was right there with us working for our good!

Season 3 - Episode 24 - Grateful for Kingdom Connections Jun 20, 2022

Show notes

This week I speak with Courtnaye Richard. She is a devoted follower of Jesus Christ, licensed minister, Christian blogger, author, and women's conference speaker - Courtnaye is married and a mother of three children. She is the founder of “Inside Out with Courtnaye”, a ministry designed for helping women grow stronger in their walk with the Lord from a biblical and practical perspective. Courtnaye is passionate about helping women grow stronger in their faith, to walk out their Christian life according to the Word of God, and to live out their purpose. She accomplishes God's purposes in ministry through blogging, devotionals (print and YouVersion), videos, audio messages, social media, a LIVE monthly video on Facebook, speaking engagements (i.e., She Speaks, Entrusted Women, Flourish Writers Retreat, etc.), books, and her faith-based public relations, marketing, and mentorship agency, “Inside Out Media Group, LLC”, where she has worked with platforms such as PBS, CBN, & TCT Networks, as well as local television and print publications. Personally knowing Courtnaye, I must say that it’s impressive to see that even with all of her accomplishments, her true heart is to make and maintain Kingdom connections. She genuinely strives to link arms with and support other Christian women and help them achieve their goals however possible. We talk candidly about her life from childhood to the present allowing the veil to be pulled back for us to see the beautiful thread of Jesus woven throughout her life. We all take turns and make decisions that can lead us away from God, but He never leaves our side. He continues loving us as He waits for our turning to Him, and then miraculously, He opens the door wide to our purpose and our destiny!!! You won’t want to miss this down-to-earth and encouraging episode!
