Ep. 105 | Celebrating Christ this Christmas Dec 22, 2022

Show notes

What does it look like to get into the spirit of the TRUE meaning of Christmas? During this time of year, we can get so caught up in holiday parties, gifts, and decor. Don’t get me wrong, that’s all fun and sweet – but especially as Christians, we should remember what Christmas is really about. If Christmas crept up on you this year, or even fills you with stress, this episode is for YOU. And if you’ve been settling your heart for all of Advent, this is for you too as we simply celebrate Christ this episode.

Ep. 104 | Comfort and Joy For the Hard Holiday Season Dec 15, 2022

Show notes

As we enter the Christmas season, which can be so sweet, it can also be a hard time for many of us. It can bring hard reminders, heart ache, sweet but tough memories. Today we are going to talk about comfort and joy for those of us who Christmas might be hard for this year.

I just want to encourage you with a ton of Bible verses about Jesus, our Savior who is also our Comforter, who weeps with us, who IS with us, Immanuel, who understands us. We’ll talk about comfort and joy but even more notably the God who gives us that comfort and joy.

Our God who came down to earth, who’s birth we celebrate, is not far and He knows our hearts, our sorrow, our needs so intimately. And today I want to encourage you with that. Because truly, there are no perfect words. I don’t know what you’re carrying. But I do know the One who does know and the One who is, as we’ll read, the God of all comfort. And so in this episode, I just want to bring you to Him, to give you space to fall at His feet, and to gently encourage you to stay there

*There is no special announcement today, as mentioned on last Thursday's podcast

Ep. 103 | Let's Read Purposefully: 2 & 3 John Dec 12, 2022

Show notes

Today we are wrapping up our reading study into 2 & 3 John. In these chapters, we see the example of individuals in the church. What does it mean to be a person of God in the body of Christ? How can we promote truth and love as believers?

We see in these chapters that truth is KEY and love involves truth. This doesn't mean we should use love as an excuse to tolerate false, deceptive teachings. We aren't told to hate either, but we should not excuse or get involved with false teachers. How can we distinguish ourselves as believers? Let's dive in.

Ep. 101 | Let's Read Purposefully: 1 John 4-5 Dec 05, 2022

Show notes

Today, we are learning that we are called to LOVE but not always called to ACCEPT. How can learn to balance this as Christians living in this world?

We learn that we are never told to just accept all things, all ideologies, all things – especially those that go against God or are of the world. Because we are from God as believers, we are HIS and He is OURS. This means that our spirit is now from God because His spirit lives within us. Let’s continue our study into 1 John and focusing on chapters 4 and 5 to dive into how we can love those around us, but not accept the things that aren’t of Jesus.

EPISODE 100 | How to Live Out Your Purpose Dec 01, 2022

Show notes

Today is She Lives Purposefully's 100th EPISODE. SO INCREDIBLE. We take a look back over some highlights from the past 100 episodes, where the podcast is now (a TOP Religion and Spirituality Podcast on Spotify), and we dive into how as believers we can live out our purpose. What does it look like to have a purpose? What does living purposefully look like practically? We explore these questions and more by diving into Ephesians 2:10, and learn who He called us to be, and what He thinks of us. We are His work of art. We were created in Christ Jesus FOR good works. This means you weren’t created not just to merely exist, but for a reason and for a purpose for HIM. We are called to live those good works out. But what exactly are those good works and how can we live them out?

S. 2, Ep. 90 | Let's Read Purposefully: 1 John 3:1-24 Nov 28, 2022

Show notes

How can I embrace the truth that God is next level love?

We are diving into 1 John 3:1-14 today, and it is our first time on the podcast going through an entire chapter at once! In this chapter, we learn that God the Father bestowed SUCH LOVE on us that He adopted us – you and me. He is not ashamed of us. He knows us inside and out, past, present and future, and He chose to call us children. How beautiful is that truth?!

Hoping in Jesus is a purifying process. Let’s live in the hope of purification. Think about it, we have this hope, this higher call, and if we live expectantly for that, we’ll choose to live differently now than we would if the future seemed hopeless and without any purpose or benefit. So often we connect believing and righteousness or believing and good deeds or believing and morals, which are important. But Jesus fulfilled the law, and what goes hand in hand with believing here is actually LOVE. God abides in you and you in Him as you keep His commands – one of which is love.
