Being a Christian Writer with Shira Rodriguez

One of the best gifts that the Lord gave me through starting The Christian Girl's Tea Podcast was a friendship with the incredible Shira Rodriguez. She's simply an amazing human, and an even better friend, and I love her so much.BUT that's not all she is! She is now *drumroll please* a PUBLISHED author, with her short story "The Lost History of Lavender Lockbourne" being featured in Wild Blue Wonder Press' anthology, Novelists in November. (Spoiler: I definitely cried at one point of the story...) It was so refreshing to read a genuinely good story, with genuinely good themes and messages that didn't leave me feeling...gross after reading it. She's so cool.Anyway, join us as we discuss what it looks like to be a writer who loves Jesus and shares it both directly and indirectly, with a similar mindset to that of Romans 1:16...Connect with Shira through: Her website Her Instagram Her YouTube ChannelPurchase Novelists in NovemberHERE!say hi here:email: [email protected]: https://thechristiangirlstea.substack.com/Instagram: ⁠@thechristiangirlstea⁠Chat soon!

I'm bring back that lil' "thoughts on..." series from last season to talk about one of my new favorite subjects: THE OLD TESTAMENT!! For so long, I convinced myself it was boring or not applicable to my life--SISTER, I WAS SO WRONG. The Old Testament constantly points to God's true character and to who Jesus is, which is exactly the reason we should be reading the Bible in the first place. *totally geeking out about this episode* Let me know if you either end up reading a book of the OT or want to read the whole OT along with me this year (or the next two years or five years or whatever...as long as you do it!!). say hi here: email: [email protected] Substack: https://thechristiangirlstea.substack.com/ Instagram: @thechristiangirlstea KNOW GOD.

I've missed talking to you!! Thank you for sticking around while I've been transitioning from high school to college; definitely been a big change in my life. I want you to view this episode like a conversation between friends over a cup of tea (or water, or coffee, etc.) who haven't talked in a while. I'm giving you an update on my life, especially the spiritual side, and giving you some sisterly advice about how to approach reading the Bible on your own. In all honesty? This is how I would talk to a sister. I pray this encourages you, and reminds you that you aren't alone in your faith! I mention Matthew 6:33 and Philippians 4:13 pretty briefly, and then talk about memorizing Psalm 4. You should totally take a second and read those on your own. I recommend reading Psalm 4 in the New Living Translation (NLT), as that's the translation the Lord used to comfort and convict me in a season of discouragement. say hi here: • ⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠ • Email: ⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠ • ⁠⁠Comment using Spotify's commenting feature on podcasts!

Join Nellie Harden and I as we discuss what it looks like to invest in your relationship with your parents as a Christian girl! Nellie is a mama of four teenage girls and loves to encourage teen girls and young women to have a basis of true worth, real self-esteem, and unwavering confidence, and gives such great insights on the parent-daughter relationship. SIDE NOTE: If this is a hard topic for you, whatever the reason may be, it’s okay to skip this episode. However, if you think you’re up for it, I believe you might be inspired and encouraged by Nellie’s background to not give up on your parents and to keep praying; you never know what God is going to do!

This episode is short, sweet, and still full of Scripture!

I'm a sinner, and so are you. So what do we do when we mess up? Confess, be humble, and repent! Scripture used: 1 John 1:8-10 Romans 3:23-26 Ephesians 2:8-9 2 Corinthians 12:9 "But if we confess our sins to Him, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness."

Hi sisters! It has been a very busy start to my year, and I've been struggling with time management, so I've been prioritizing my schoolwork. BUT WE'RE BACK! Let's talk about what it looks like to work hard at school, and why we should as Christian girls. This episode is short, sweet, and can fit between classes or on your lunch break sometime this week. Listen when you get a chance, but remember to prioritize your homework!! Scripture referenced: Colossians 3:23 Romans 12:11 1 Corinthians 4:12 2 Corinthians 12:9 REMEMBER THIS: "Each time He said, 'My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.' So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me." When you mess up, remember that Christ can work through you! Don't be discouraged. Dust yourself off, and ask God for help. say hi here: • ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ (⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/thechristiangirlstea/⁠⁠) • Email: ⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠ • ⁠⁠Anchor Voice Message⁠⁠ (⁠⁠https://anchor.fm/the-christian-girls-tea/message) If you can, please leave a review of the podcast!
