Shattering Strongholds with Dr. Grace English Mar 10, 2021

Show notes

WARNING: This episode contains content surrounding the topic of abortion, and maybe triggering to some listeners. This content is not suitable for all ages.

This week Dr. Grace English shares about shattering strongholds. She opens up about her own abortion and the healing that had to take place for her to experience freedom in Christ. Grace encourages women to share about their past pain because only then can true healing in Jesus happen.

Strongholds definitions:

Something that holds you hostage against doing the will of God (holding in place, keeping held down)
Tony Evans = a mindset that accepts a situation as unchangeable even though we know it is against the will of God. A stronghold is a faulty thinking pattern based on lies and deception. Deception is one of the primary weapons of the devil, because it is the building blocks for a stronghold.
A system of beliefs that has been created in your life that challenges what’s true about God and His Word. It becomes the thing you see and “do life” through; your filter.

Rebuilding From a Crisis with Pastor David Dykes Feb 24, 2021

Show notes

In today’s episode, Pastor David Dykes shares about the joy we have in the Lord. Pastor David shares that the key to staying connected to God, especially during difficult times, is to spend time reading the Bible and to pray and listen to God. We also discuss choosing joy on today’s episode, and how sometimes Christian’s feel they have lost the joy of their salvation. Thankfully that joy cannot be lost because it belongs to the Lord. When we don’t always “feel” the joy, Pastor David reminds us to “faith it” and the feelings will follow.
