Anger Management May 17, 2021

Show notes

Today’s episode is inspired by a comment left on my Instagram page by Melissa Silva @melsil81. She asked “how to handle anger in your heart when someone has done you wrong.” Isn’t that such a deep and personal question to seek guidance in?! And, let's be real sis, we need to know how to handle anger better in our day to day lives, not just when someone did you wrong. But someone going 10 miles under the speed limit is enough to feel like someone did me wrong. I gotta turn up that klove Jesus music up extra high when that happens because, gosh it irks me! Ha! So let’s talk about anger, because honestly, I still don’t have this one fully conquered. But thankfully His mercies are new every day and every day we can choose to improve our anger management skills.

A Woman Who Fears The Lord Is Greatly To Be Praised May 10, 2021

Show notes

Happy belated Mothers Day to all of my momma listeners out there! In honor of it being Mother's day last week, I wanted to take the time to break down one of my favorite passages in the Bible: A wife of noble character, Proverbs 31:10-21.
In this episode, I break down some of my favorite parts to give us a clearer vision of what we should strive to be more like as a virtuous woman. You don't have to be a wife or a mom to learn and grow from this passage.
Some of the thoughts I tackle are:
I want to be a more Godly wife, what should that look like?
I don't think these characteristics I have are worth anything.
What characteristics do I lack that I can improve on?
In the end, we can't take our charm and beauty to heaven. So I want to help inspire you to find your inner Proverbs 31 woman. Build your identity and faith on that solid foundation of Christ and not what the world tells youis "empowering" and "strong". We are not supposed to look like the world, anyway.

Listener Request Episode - Staying Consistent With Our Quiet Time May 03, 2021

Show notes

Today’s episode comes from a comment by @autumn_bottom. She commented “staying motivated, staying consistent. I will be on top of prayer and devotional and Bible study one week and then the next is just a wash!” And goodness, how many of yall can relate to that comment?! I know you do because this is probably one of these most asked questions I get in my DMs or comment sections. So many struggle with their daily Bible reading, daily prayer time, daily quiet time. You want to do it. You know you need to do it. You even know it will be so beneficial to your spiritual walk and grow your faith in The Lord! So why is it so dang hard to stay self-disciplined with it?!

Now, sorry if this disappoints you, but this will not be an episode with all the tips and tricks on how to read your Bible better, what’s better: morning or afternoon, what devotionals do I read, what pastors should I listen to, etc. Here is why: you can have all of the tools right in front of you, but the resources alone won’t give you a reason to remain consistent at it.

The most typical problem I see when people are struggling with their daily time with The Lord, is they are asking the wrong question. They want to do “what” to do when the better, and more effective question is, “why” do I need to do this? And the reason I know this is because, for a long time, I was asking the wrong question myself. I always wanted to know “What” new devotional to read? “WHAT” book in the bible do I need to start in? But I was missing the most important question...WHY was I supposed to do it in the first place?

Why should I read my Bible daily?

Why should I pray daily?

Why should I spend time with God daily?

So, why should we?

Finding Your Joy Apr 26, 2021

Show notes

Today, we are going to be talking about joy! Everyone wants joy. Everyone wants to feel happy. But how? Where can I find it?
We are taught to attach our joy to temporary things. If you want to be happy and never be sad, go and achieve these temporary things that won’t last. There is no way that a temporary thing will provide you with everlasting joy. Nope. Not gonna happen. No way. Why in the world did we buy into the idea that forever joy, forever happiness can come from things that fade away? It fades away, so we search for it even harder and eventually we become slaves to it. We start to place our security in it. We focus more on it than on God, and that is an idol.
So...how can I be one of those people who are joyful and content in any circumstance, not just when things are going right in my life? I don’t want to be stuck in neutral. I don’t want to be worried all the time, I want to be joyful all the time! I want to be that truly happy person! Not the person that ignores her cares blindly, but that person who can still find joy even if the situation is not a joyful one. How can I be that person?

Casting your worry on Him Apr 19, 2021

Show notes

Hey friends! How have you been?! We are getting all settled in here at the Reynolds household.

I am ready to get back into my routine, sharing more inspirational content on my social media. Got back into my more quiet time with God in my new office. It was hard to get back into that routine after being off of it for a little over a week. My body was tired and the voice telling me “you’re tired. It’s ok Just sleep. You deserve the rest,” was just so loud this week! Oh I know that is because I did minimal work of putting my armor on last week. How did I ever go so long without a quiet time and arming myself? I felt so weak emotionally. It actually rolls into why I chose to title today’s episode “casting your cares unto Him.”

This episode is for anything who has struggled or is currently struggling through fear and worry.

1 Peter 5:7 says Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

Other translations will say “cast all of your cares on him”, “give all of your worry to Him,” “leave all your worries with Him,” even one says “THROW your worry on Him.” Can you imagine it? Just running by God and tossing our worry onto Him like a pile of laundry. Like here God, bye! Thanks for taking care of this for me!

But it doesn’t feel like it works that way all the time, does it?

Perhaps you know you need to leave your worry with Him, leave your anxiety with Him, leave your fears with Him. And you pray and pray. God take this. I leave this with you...and then 30 minutes later you’re back to feeling worried and anxious and fearful. Why do I still feel worried if I gave it up to God? Did He not take it from me? Or did I not fully give it to Him?

So let's chat about this, shall we?

COACHING SESSION- The Attitude Of Our Minds (previously share episode) Apr 12, 2021

Show notes

Big thanks to my coaching client, Sydney, for allowing me to record one of our coaching session and share it publicly with everyone!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
In this episode, I am giving you insight into what a mentoring session with me sounds like! This specific session really dug deep into what the bible calls "the attitude of our minds". We focused on how we are calling to "put on our new life", what that looks like, and how our walk as Christian women requires us to pick up our cross DAILY!
What does walking in obedience DAILY look like? Is it even doable? Will I make mistakes?
The answer to all of those and more lie in this recorded coaching session! If you are curious on how you can be apart of my one-on-one mentoring session, head over to my Instagram and send me a DM! I will be taking on new clients starting in May! We can schedule a quick 10 min consult call to see if this is what you have been needing in order to grow a stronger, more closer relationship with God!

Whatever Is True And Noble Apr 05, 2021

Show notes

Today’s episode is going to have some self reflection in it for you. (yay! We always love it when we have to self reflect, huh?) *insert sarcasm*) But I want to bring some light to what we choose to consume daily. I’m not really talking about what we eat, although the passage I am going to read talked about eating stew. But what do you allow yourself to consume with your ears, eyes, and how that translates into our thoughts.

We will be in 2 Kings 4. In this passage, the prophets in this passage are currently enduring a 7 year famine. For them, it’s a food famine. For us, it's symbolic of a faith famine in our current world. Faith and believers are few and far between in our current world, aren’t they? We are living in a faith famine. The prophets were living in a food famine.

And in the story, they ate "Death In a Pot". Their stew was poisonous. But what in your life are you allowing yourself to eat that is also poisonous, but you refuse to spit it out? I will be the one to say it is time to take off the rose colored glasses you’re looking at the world with and start to see the world through a warrior’s helmet. Let me help you awaken your spiritual discernment to the evil all over this world. Let me help you become more aware of the poisonous stew you’ve been consuming and let’s grow a passion for seeking what is true and noble!

Be Influencers For Christ Mar 29, 2021

Show notes

Today, I wanted to help guide you through the struggle of feeling called to spread the Good News. You know you need to make disciples of others, be fishers of men (or women)...yet...how??
How do I bring it up?
I’m afraid they will feel like I am pushing my faith on people.
I see their sin, do I call them out on that?
What am I supposed to do?!
And while this is a super complex topic, I am going to guide you through a way to begin, a place to focus. Isn’t that the hardest part? Just knowing where to start? When we don’t know where to start, we don't ever start. So I hope this episode clears a path of where to begin.

How Great Is Our God! Mar 22, 2021

Show notes

Today’s episode is (hopefully) going to serve as a reminder to us to keep the main thing the main thing. We can get caught up in teaching, learning, memorizing scripture, “is this a sin? Is that a sin?”...and don’t get me wrong. All of those things are so important! But I want to refocus on, not on us as the center of our spiritual universe, but who should be at the center of our universe: God.
I think we innocently forget to put Him at the center of everything we do. We tend to focus more on what God can do for us and we focus less on who He really is. When we get ready to pray, we come prepared with a list of requests for our God. "God, please do this in my life."
But, I want you to really consider what I am trying to convey here and be brutally honest with yourself. Do you treat your relationship with God more as a transactional relationship (I will give you this if you give me that) or more like we should where we pursue a relationship with God because we understand and revere His majesty, Glory, and wonder?!
Our motivation to continue to follow Him is not because of what He can bless you with (although He is perfectly capable of doing that.) Your true joy comes when you remember what you deserve.

Worship While You Wait Mar 15, 2021

Show notes

Today, I wanted to take a lesson from my own life and use it as inspiration for this episode. There can be something powerful in a “me too” testimony and I have a “me too” moment for you.

Does anyone else struggle with waiting? Basically, is anyone else like me? You plan everything out (even possibly in faith) and when it doesn’t happen exactly as you envisioned it, you get agitated. And then you begin to dwell on the delayed timeline and that compounds worry on top of anxiety. This causes you to rack your brain for solutions. You wallow of it. You lose sleep over it. You get more frustrated because “gah why can’t things just line up the way I wanted them to?!” -- Me. Too. Sister. This was me last week. So I want to share with you what God has taught me in my current season of waiting.

I want to encourage you, today, to see your season of waiting as an opportunity to LEARN, not a place to grumble and complain. Do some self evaluation today and ask yourself: what is your default setting when you experience a delay in your plan? Is your default setting to complain? Or is your default setting trusting God?
Waiting is an opportunity to develop our faith. Just because you don’t like waiting, doesn’t mean that sometimes we don’t need it to take full effect, because God sees we are still lacking. We aren’t perfect and complete yet. We still have some refining to do. And worshiping while we wait is our way of honoring God, glorifying Him, not because of what He can give us, but just because of who He is.
