Episode 8 - Growing Pains
Faith Journey Podcast
There is a reason why the Bible says not many walk the straight and narrow. Surrendering and following Christ is not easy. But when we allow the Holy Spirit to work within us and produce fruits, we have an outcome that is pleasing to ourselves, but more importantly to God. The more and more we operate in the spirit and adhere to God’s voice, that’s where true change comes in. If we quench the spirit, that little voice gets more faint and without God, we stand no chance against sin and temptation. Believing there is only one true God is half the battle, it’s what we do after, that counts....

Episode 7 - When I Do Becomes I Can't (with Justin Garcia)
Faith Journey Podcast
With my first guest being my husband Justin, I wanted to have an open discussion about dating, marriage, and parenthood. We both have experienced a lot of the wrong things in order to get to something right, but most importantly with God. Navigating through life’s hardships as one can be challenging yet rewarding. We both get super vulnerable and transparent and share what God has done in us and for us in this season of our life. I hope this episode encourages you to not give up in your pursuit of finding her person. To not look for the perfect person, but someone who is willing to change...

Episode 6 - A Beautiful Goodbye
Faith Journey Podcast
I wanted to dedicate this episode to my beautiful mommy, Linda. I lost her a couple months ago unexpectedly and this has been one of the hardest things I have ever had to endure so far in my life. I will forever have the tragic memories of her last days here but the memories of her healthy will always supersede. The warm memories of her love and her laughter, will forever be apart of me. She was the best mother anyone could have asked for. And she had every excuse to not be. But she fulfilled her God given assignment and has prepared me to fulfill mine. Me and my mother had a tough...

Episode 5 - Relationships
Faith Journey Podcast
Even though this topic deserves more time in which I will touch more on this with guests, I wanted to share briefly what God has taught me about relationships. This has been and will always be a journey of learning and growing. Not having a firm foundation and a good example in the most important years of my development as a child has made it hard for me to cope in my adult life. Luckily God drew me in, saved me, changed me, healed me, and showed me how to love people the way they should be loved. This allowed me to sustain my relationships and filter out the relationships that needed healthy...

Episode 4 - God Speaks In All Ways
Faith Journey Podcast
Although the bible is the biggest source of hearing from God, he also speaks in many other ways. In this episode I share the visions and dreams I have had from God and how getting close to him through his word has helped me on my faith walk. His promises have allowed me to step out in faith in many situations and fully trust him to lead me to the places he has shown me. Spending time with God through deep meditation and prayer... with ALOT of patience can go such a long way. Be still. Hear his voice. And take action. If you don’t hear it, wait. His timing is always perfect.

Episode 3 - God's Will
Faith Journey Podcast
What does it mean to follow the will of God? In episode 3 I cover the two types of will. There is of course the sovereign will of God and then there is the revealed will. Sovereign will is the unknown, Gods plan for our life. Living out the day by day, moment by moment. Then there is a revealed will which is written all throughout the Bible. How do we follow Gods revealed will for our life? Well, read his word and find out! Here are a few I’ve taken from my studies: Make Disciples (Mathew 28:19-20) Love one another (John 15:12) Serve one another (1 Peter 4:!0) Build each other...

Episode 2 - Born Again
Faith Journey Podcast
In this episode, I talk about the meaning of what it is to be born again and what Jesus means when he says he is the resurrection and life. Being yielded to transformation through the holy spirit requires constant surrender of what we think we know. His word is our truth and our standard. Jesus says no one will enter the kingdom unless we are truly born again. So what is that? How do we become born again? There is a spiritual death to life story after we receive the gift of salvation. Its like Jesus says to Lazzurus, "Get up and take off your grave cloths". Instagram: ; Podcast instagram: ...

Episode 1- Intro
Faith Journey Podcast
In this episode, I wanted to share a little bit about my testimony and set the tone for episodes to come. I know that picking up our cross and following Jesus is not easy, surrender is a daily choice. Figuring out Gods will for our lives takes a great deal of patience and dicipline. Im a huge advocate for spending time in Gods word. Dont read it just so you can be educated, read his word so you can be transformed. There is a huge difference between being a christian and being a disciple, but we can not do it alone. Healing and freedom happens when we take it all to Jesus. When we let go and...
info_outline2 Corinthians 10:5
We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
Romans 12:2
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”
Holy Spirit
Conviction. Helping us reflect on the spirit of Christ. Transforms our perspective of I should be doing this to I WANT to do this. It’s a conscious effort.
Developing in us the fruits of the spirit:
Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control
Do not quench the Spirit
•1 Thessalonians 5:19-22•
James 1:22
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.
James 2:18
But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.
James 2:19
You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.
SIN NO MORE
John 5- Jesus healed the paralyzed man by the pool- he told him to pick up his mat and sin no more
Matthew 12:43-45
When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, but finds none. Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when it comes, it finds the house empty, swept, and put in order. Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there, and the last state of that person is worse than the first
James 5:7
Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains
