Faith, Pruning, Perspective, Perseverance

Send us Fan MailHey fam,If I am being so honest, lately I've just been tired.Tired of carrying things God never asked me to carry. Tired of feeling like I need to do more, be more, achieve more, and somehow earn what Jesus already paid for. Tired of striving.I think sometimes we can get so caught up in doing things for God that we forget He first invited us into relationship with Him. We start measuring our walk by our productivity, our discipline, our ministry, our consistency, and before we know it we're carrying a weight He never asked us to carry.The crazy thing is, when I actually stop and look back, God has been so faithful. I may not be where I want to be, but I am definitely not where I used to be. The fact that He saved me, transformed me, delivered me, and continues to draw me closer to Himself is proof that He is working even when I don't always see it.The Lord has been reminding me that He isn't asking me to strive. He's asking me to abide. He's not asking me to earn His love. He's asking me to receive it. He's not asking me to carry the burden alone. He's asking me to come to Him with it.Maybe you've been feeling tired too. Maybe you've been carrying expectations, pressures, fears, or responsibilities that God never actually put on your shoulders.This episode is just an honest conversation about that. About striving, surrender, grace, and learning how to return to the place of abiding in Christ.Hope it encourages you. 🤍🎙️ Watch the full episode through the link in my bio.If you'd like to partner with what God is doing through Imagebearers, you can sow here:https://imagebearers.ca/donationsFollow along:Instagram: @imagebearerssTikTok: @imagebearersFacebook: ImagebearersSupport the show

Send us Fan MailHey Fam, We are back with our weekly pod episode..In this episode, we're talking about the difficult reality of waiting on God, when the prayers seem unanswered, the breakthrough hasn't come, and you're tempted to numb the pain instead of bringing it before Him.So often we try to escape waiting seasons through distractions, busyness, relationships, entertainment, or anything that helps us avoid feeling the weight of uncertainty. But God doesn't waste waiting. He uses it to shape our character, deepen our faith, and draw us closer to Him.If you're in a season of waiting right now, I pray this conversation encourages you to remain faithful, stay surrendered, and remember that God is working even when you cannot see it.🌿 WEBSITE:https://imagebearers.ca📱 FOLLOW ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imagebearer...TikTok:   / imagebearers  Facebook:   / imagebearerss  🤍 SUPPORT THE MINISTRY:If this ministry has encouraged you and you'd like to partner with what God is doing through this content, you can sow here:https://imagebearers.ca/donations📖 Remember:"The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him." — Lamentations 3:25Support the show

Send us Fan MailHey fam,Welcome back to the Imagebearers Podcast. 🤍In this episode, we're talking about what it means to create with the Creator. So often we can get caught up in striving, comparison, performance, and trying to make things happen in our own strength. But what if the Lord never intended us to create apart from Him?Today we're diving into God's original design in Genesis, our identity as image bearers, stewardship, creativity, and how partnering with the Holy Spirit changes the way we approach our work, ministry, content, businesses, and everyday lives.My prayer is that this conversation encourages you to stop striving and start abiding, recognizing that the same God who created the heavens and the earth has invited you into His creative process.If this episode encouraged you, be sure to subscribe, leave a comment, and share it with someone who may be blessed by it.Connect with us:Website: imagebearers.caInstagram:@imagebearerssTikTok:@imagebearersFacebook:ImagebearersJoin the community:@thetablefsYours in Christ,Rachael 🤍Support the show

Send us Fan Mailhey fam 🤍Have you ever felt like everyone else is moving ahead while you're standing still?In this episode, we're talking about why so many of us feel behind in life, the danger of comparison, and what it looks like to trust God's timing instead of measuring our lives against someone else's highlight reel.Just because someone is experiencing a breakthrough doesn't mean you're behind. Often, we don't see the years of preparation, pruning, and process that came before it.I pray this conversation encourages you to stop comparing your beginning to someone else's breakthrough and to remain faithful in the season God has you in.Watch now, and let me know your thoughts in the comments. 🤍🌐 Website:https://imagebearers.ca📸 Instagram:  / imagebearerss  🎵 TikTok:  / imagebearers  Facebook:   / imagebearerss  Support the show

Send us Fan MailHi Fam 🤍, we are officially BACK!In this episode we talk about faith, pruning, perseverance & perspective. Sometimes God allows seasons of stretching, refining and waiting — not to destroy us, but to shape us.Pruning can feel painful, perseverance can feel exhausting, and our perspective can easily become clouded by disappointment or distraction. But God is faithful through every season, and often the very places we struggle in are the places He is producing deeper roots, greater trust, and lasting fruit.I pray this conversation encourages you to keep your eyes on Jesus and trust Him even in the process. 🌿Support the show

Send us Fan MailHey fam 🤍I hope all is well! You can’t lie we’re 2/2 right now in terms of consistency lol 😭In this episode, we talk about the importance of doing what the Lord has called you to do in faith and without fear. We speak about being the hands and feet of Jesus, and what an honour it is to create with The Creator Himself.What are ways in your life that you feel like you’ve been reluctant to start certain projects, conversations, or steps of obedience that the Lord has placed on your heart?I pray this episode encourages you to move in faith even if it’s uncomfortable, even if it’s uncertain, and even if it feels small right now. God can do a lot with simple obedience 🤍Support the show

Send us Fan MailLong time no see! Can't believe time has flown by like this lol.. but neverthelessless.. I hope and pray this video encourages and reaches whoever it needs to in Jesus name! ❤️Support the show

Send us Fan MailI pray that this video encourages us to remember how great the Lord is. If God be for us, who can be against us? Why do we choose to put our faith in the enemy's lies rather than what the Lord has promised. The bible says that if we have faith the size of a mustard seed we can tell that mountain to move and be cast into the sea and it shall be! That sea is the sea of forgetfulness, and that mountain could be a past memory, a temptation, a trial, a circumstance.. but whatever that mountain is, it is only by faith that we can get passed it in Jesus name. Support the show

Send us Fan MailThere are going to be times in our walk where we will feel defeated, alone, downcast and maybe even on the verge of giving up. But it is during those times where the Lord encourages us to strengthen ourselves in Him.Support the show

Send us Fan MailThere truly is a cost to following the Lord, but the beautiful thing is if you give the Lord your full yes, He empowers you with His Holy Spirit to go forth and walk out what He has called you to. Sometimes this walk can be lonely. Sometimes you may feel discouraged. Sometimes it may feel like too much but remember the Lord is worth it. In the end, you won't remember all the bad, but you will rejoice that you chose Him over the world! Be encouraged Body of Christ! I pray this podcast episode encourages y'all in Jesus name!Support the show
