Conversations of Christ

Our purpose at Conversations of Christ is threefold: first, to get clear on our purpose and identity soul-deep; second, to learn to draw Christ’s healing and strengthening power more fully into our lives; and third to practice seeing God, ourselves and others deeply, enabling connection and desired change. Join host Ashley Marchant in this first season of Conversations of Christ as we focus on seeing Christ more deeply in our own lives by looking through the eyes of His daughter disciples in God's Word. Making connections with their experiences with Jesus and our own personal day-to-day life experiences.

Connecting with Your Divine Identity 05/25/2024

Connecting with Your Divine Identity In this conversation with Jacquie Carter and Laura Eyi, we talk about daughter disciples in the scripture that have taught us more about our relationship with Christ. Seeing ourselves in the shoes of these women can help us better understand our divine identity and the deep love and concern our Savior has for us. We also talk about connecting our divine identity with our daily living. We can create intention each day to live aligned with what we value most. On June 8, I will be joined by these two wonderful women in hosting a Christ-centered Yoga and Meditation Retreat in Provo, Utah. We'll be covering topics like these.

How I Prayer Journal 12/15/2023

How I Prayer Journal The scriptures teach us that God speaks to us in our own language, according to our own understanding. I think that when we understand the significance that God speaks so individually to us, according to how we will best understand and hear him, it can help us see how personal and intimate our relationship with God can be. God knows you that perfectly. God speaks your language. In this episode, I share how I have come to better hear how God speaks to me through prayer journaling. This was originally recorded as a bonus class in the 40-day Journey with Christ meditation course I created. I wanted to share it with you during this busy season when we are celebrating Christ, but it can feel hard to sometimes make enough room for Him in all the hustle. This will hopefully help you see ways to increase your ability and capacity to hear Him. I also share about a favorite family tradition of ours, the Bethlehem Dinner. I created a guide you can download as a free PDF that will walk you through creating a meaningful Christ-centered evening of your own. It includes ideas for the food, setting, costumes, and most importantly the discussion. I share the list of scriptures and nativity figures our family uses along with questions for each person participating to ponder beforehand.

Becoming Peacemakers: A Conversation with Laura and Joanna | Part 1 “Charity is the principal characteristic of a true follower of Jesus Christ. Charity defines a peacemaker.

Making Peace: Daughter Disciple Deborah (Judges 4-5) 05/19/2023

Making Peace: Daughter Disciple Deborah (Judges 4-5) Join me in this episode as we talk about the powerful ability women have to create peace and that we receive the grace to do so from our Maker. "Charity, or the pure love of Christ, is motherhood in a very practical and real way...My mother-work will come directly through the whispers of the Holy Spirit. And it is no less real for being unrelated by blood and bone.” (Sharon Eubank) This “mother work” as Sharon put it, and as we saw in the example of Deborah, is bearing with others and nurturing them in God. It’s being yourself and holding up your unique light with courage, it’s being a strengthener and encourager, it’s meeting others where they’re. It’s holding space for another to feel safe being exactly who they are. It’s forgiving, it’s counseling together, it’s going to places that may be uncomfortable to help another not have to walk alone, it’s speaking the language of faith and hope, it’s wisdom and good judgment, it’s turning hearts to God. It’s helping restore freedom and faith and God. It’s walking with Christ and receiving daily strength to be able to walk with others in difficult circumstances where peace needs to be made. Mother-work is creating peace. /episode/index/show/conversationsofchristpodcast/id/26887629
