Last week was all about motherhood and how sometimes it can be tough. Keeping our eyes on Jesus and seeing ourselves like he sees us makes all the difference. If you missed that episode, make sure you go back and listen to it! This week is a follow up episode that I'm excited to share with you!

I met Linda through a friend and she agreed to sit down and share authentically her experience in following Jesus. It's not always perfect and we can always improve but the truth is, there is grace for us! Being Holy Spirit led, aka, letting God be in control of your life is not for the casual Christian. It's for those who want more of God, want to be made into his image and want to impact the world around them for the Kingdom. It was such a joy to talk with Linda about what it looks like to follow God and how to let the Holy Spirit guide us.

Key Takeaways:

• There is always grace for us, we can't expect to be perfect in our walk with the Lord
• We can't be so busy that we don't have time for God
• B.U.S.Y. = Being Under Satan's Yoke
• We need to listen to God more than we list things off to him
• Being led by the Holy Spirit doesn't happen over night, we need to continually surrender to him and let him lead

Motherhood.... it will always be one of the biggest blessings in our life but it is also something that can drive us crazy! Do not get me wrong, I love my kiddos and would do absolutely anything for them but some days, they push every button I have and even discover new ones! haha Have you been there?

My amazing friend Shayla felt the exact same way for years. She was just like us, frustrated, angry, yelling and checked out. Then something changed. The Lord spoke to her and took her on a journey of healing not just in motherhood but in herself. Her insight on this topic is not revolutionary but it sure feels like it to those of us who are still on the struggle bus!! Her newest book, 10 Things I Hate About Motherhood touches on the 10 things that she struggled with that God did a mighty work in. Then she did the generous thing and shared them with us in this book! This book is one that needs to be on your bookshelf at all times for reference!

Shayla is a rodeo wife and momma, author and speaker who helps women seek God first to transform their marriages, their homes, and their lives! She's a small town wife and momma from Iowa who loves Jesus and is passionate about pointing women to TRUTH so they can live abundant and thriving lives.

Key Takeaways:

• We can’t compare our children to each other or other children
• You are a good mom!
• Having self compassion is hard because of shame, God can and will deliver us from shame!
• Shame is a lie that tells us we deserve to feel bad, while conviction is God’s gentle call to healing, not punishment
• Don’t make everything about personal failure
• We have to see ourselves and our children through God’s eyes - this makes all the difference in our parenting
• We need to be honest and authentic with God
• Parenting can be a journey of grace and repair

Sometimes we just need reminded what thankfulness is all about from a kid's perspective. I invited my two kiddos on this week to share their thoughts on thankfulness, what God says about it and what we can practically do to obey Him. Plus there is a pretty fun extra at the end that will make you smile this thanksgiving!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING from the Confidence in Christ Podcast!!

Have you ever felt like you may have been a little too reckless or gone a little too far for God to forgive you? Today we are here to tell you that that's just not true! There is nothing you can do to make God stop loving you. He will continue to pursue you even in your sin.

My guest today is a new friend whom I go to church with! He actually reached out to share his testimony on our church's podcast and after having the conversation with him I knew I had to see if he'd allow me to share it with all of you. I'm so thankful he said yes!

Bruce Kane has had a life on both sides of the tracks. He's lived in sin, getting involved with drugs and becoming an alcoholic but he has also experienced the redeeming power and love of Jesus Christ! He's not proud of what he did but he is grateful that he can pass on this story of hope to others. His testimony is powerful and reminds all of us that we are never too far out of reach for God.

This is the type of testimony that gets me all fired up! Why? Because even though it is Bruce's story, it points to the mighty work of Jesus in his life and directs others to the savior! These are the stories we need to be sharing with others to encourage them in the Lord!

Key Takeaways:

• You are never too far gone that God can't rescue you
• God is willing to forgive us but we need to be willing to cry out to him
• The love of God is stronger than anything else
• Sharing the good news of what God has done in our lives is an honor and it can't be kept inside

Part of the reason we need to be in scripture so much is because sooner or later we are going to be faced with questions. Questions about why you believe what you believe, evidence for what you believe, etc. That sounds terrifying to most of us, right? We'd rather hide under a rock than have to defend what we believe. Why is that? If I had to take a guess, it's because we ourselves aren't even sure of the true reasons. We know we love God, we believe the Bible and trust that its words are true but how do we explain that to someone who doesn't think like us?

That is exactly why I invested my good friend Liz back onto the podcast. She has been on multiple times before but in light of the world we are living in, with a revival in our sights, we need to be more equipped for these sorts of conversations. Liz is my go-to for these sorts of things and her wisdom and insight are a true gift!

Liz Cobo is a Christian Apologist, writer, and speaker. Her ministry is focused on helping women learn to gracefully defend the Christian faith and biblical worldview. She hosts the unBibled podcast. Liz is working on a Master of Arts degree in Christian Apologetics at the Talbot School of Theology, Biola University.

Key Takeaways:

• Apologetics involves gracefully defending the Christian faith with evidence and reason, not just blind belief
• Developing good listening and questioning skills is crucial for having productive conversations about faith
• Regular Bible study and building biblical knowledge is foundational for engaging in apologetics
• There are many resources available to learn apologetics, from books to online courses to communities
• Aims to remove "roadblocks to the cross" and address objections to Christianity

Anxious thoughts can be a constant in our lives and sometimes they seem like they will never quiet down. What do we do when they seem to swirl around our mind constantly? If we believe in Jesus Christ as our savior there is actually a lot we can do about it! First, we remind them of the truths we know from scripture. Second step can look different for all of us but it can include physical activity, breathing exercises and medication. (In the episode we give lots of info!) That is why I invited Becky onto the podcast this week. She is releasing a book that is going to help transform how we take on the anxiety we struggle with.

Becky Keife is the author of A Verse A Day For The Anxious Soul and a Bible teacher, speaker, and author passionate about helping people hear God’s voice, embrace their true identity, and step into their purpose. A dedicated mental health advocate, Becky equips individuals and churches to understand anxiety biblically and experience Jesus wholly. She loves long naps, puffy clouds, and shady trails. Becky lives in Southern California with her husband and three always-hungry teenage sons.

Key Takeaways:

• God invites us to be honest with Him
• Anxiety doesn’t disqualify you from being a good Christian OR from the goodness of God
• Anxiety can be the conduit to intimacy with Christ
• Put rhythms of peace & calm in place before you need them
• There is always hope and light because of Jesus
• God wants to meet us in the midst of our struggles, there is no need to “get right” before coming to Him

The topic of spiritual warfare is not one you will hear preached on or talked about often. Why, because it makes people uncomfortable. We tend to avoid things that we don't fully understand and when it comes to talking about things we can't see with our eyes it adds another layer of uncertainty. This is the reason I wanted to have a conversation about it on the podcast.

We are approaching the darkest holiday of the year later this week, halloween, and we as Bible believing Christ followers need to be aware of what is actually happening in the spiritual world. We do not fight against flesh and blood but against the things in this dark world that are unseen. We must choose to step out of ignorance (that could be from many different things) and into the knowledge that Christ so freely gives us in His Word.

I'm so thankful that my friend Miranda Fields agreed to have this conversation with me. Her and I both desperately want other believers to see what they are truly up against. To stand in the authority that they have in Christ and stand firm! This isn't a game folks, this is real and this is in our faces more today than ever before. We must start talking about it and being open to the Holy Spirit's leading in our lives.

Key Takeaways:

• We must acknowledge and be aware of what is happening in the Spiritual realm
• Relationship with Jesus is how we discern what is happening in our lives and around us
• God wants us to be able to live in freedom and not be held down by bondage, choosing to remain ignorant in this area is doing a disservice to ourselves
• Ask the Lord to open your eyes, reveal things to you and see through His eyes
• We overcomplicate everything in our Spiritual life, keep it simple
