36. Ten practical ways to settle your anxious heart Aug 29, 2022

Show notes

Today is our FINAL episode on the series “Overcoming Anxiety!” 😥

In today’s episode you’ll hear:

How Jen focused on her patients and family and took drastic steps to deal with her anxiety. (The circumstances did not change. But her heart changed. She replaced it with more intentional prayer and time in the Word.)

How we can be proactive. Learn how we can take steps with intentionality to guard our hearts against anxiety.

Ways to identify what triggers your anxiety and what do we need to do after you identify them?

Practical ways from a medical and spiritual side to help settle your anxious heart.

… and MUCH MORE!

Remember: Anxiety is not the final word. This is not permanent. Our anxieties, fears, insecurities, doubts, or all of the negativity we live with on a day to day basis, whether internal or external are NOT permanent. And we can shift our focus from the here and now to heaven and to the spiritual dimension that is there.♥️

33. How to overcome the betrayal of one you love Aug 08, 2022

Show notes

In today’s episode, we dive into King David’s story, a good example of how he takes his anxiety, fear, and doubts, and works through them by adjusting his focus to God.

It’s a POWERFUL example we too can follow! When it comes to dealing with our anxious thoughts, we believe bringing a biblical example is where the most help is!
Trust God and take a step of faith. Anxiety does not have the final word.

32. Seeing beyond your painful past into the face of a loving father Aug 01, 2022

Show notes

*This is a very raw and vulnerable episode with AJ, in which she shares about her childhood trauma. It comes with a trigger warning as it may be sensitive to some audiences.
Anxiety.

Just the word can produce negative feelings, can’t it?

Well, during the month of August we are starting a new series on the podcast and will be discussing ANXIETY, how to overcome it and how to calm our souls in a chaotic world.

In today’s very special episode you’ll hear:

AJ’s story of her very long journey of healing with God;
How to cling to the healing God offers instead of falling back into old mentalities

… and so MUCH MORE.
There is not a person who has lived who has not felt the bite of anxiety. And yes, that includes Christians. The difference is that as Christians, we have extra weapons to use in the fight and we are promised victory over it.

31. How to become a spiritual athlete Jul 29, 2022

Show notes

________________
In today’s episode, Jen and AJ had a special talk about the LAST fruit of the Spirit: SELF-CONTROL:

- How sports help explain this fruit of the spirit (Paul uses this earthly example of what's going on in the spiritual realm);
- How we practice self-control;
- The benefits of self-control;

… and MUCH MORE!

Spoiler Alert! Self-control requires effort on our part! But the grace of God is our provision to say no, to live self-controlled, to exercise discipline, and to do it every day.
Remember: As we abide in Christ, and remain in the vine, these fruits are a result He produces. We don't strive for self-control or patience. We strive to abide in Christ.

Show notes

Full Show Notes + Journal Cards Freebie: www.sojohub.com/fruit030
In today’s episode, we are talking about the fruit of the Spirit, GENTLENESS/Meekness.

Jen and AJ had a special talk about:
- Why this fruit is also known as meekness;
- What is the biblical definition of meekness (it's not the same as our understanding of the English word!);

… and MUCH MUCH MORE!
If you are someone who struggles with understanding the biblical meaning of meekness/gentleness or maybe feels like you just aren’t a gentle person, we encourage you to listen to this week’s episode!

Sometimes it’s hard to see God’s faithfulness to us, especially when life goes very, very wrong.

Maybe your heart can’t see His faithfulness right now. But he’s been faithful even when we don’t realize it.
