If you want to live in the freedom of Christ, you have to first take hold of lies and negative thoughts that are controlling your mind. We live in a world filled with pressures, deadlines and the idea that it's good to be constantly busy. Not to mention being inundated with chaos and fear as we scroll social media or watch any news. Today I am sharing the 3 steps I take to overcome negative thoughts, especially fear and worry! I pray it is a blessing to you, and listen to the end for a prayer over you! xo Desiree --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/do-you-see/support

If you told me two years ago that I would be homeschooling I would have thought you're crazy! I was farthest away from homeschooling as one could be as I was focusing on my business and what creative outlets would be best for my joy and peace. Little did I know that God had a plan for my family far greater than I could've imagined. I share how I came to the conclusion of homeschooling and how this year has blessed my family in ways I couldn't even imagine. Whether you're a homeschool mom, thinking about it or not even close, I pray my journey to will inspire you as you raise your children. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/do-you-see/support

When it comes to growing in our relationship with the Lord, it’s important that we begin to prioritize our time with Him. What to Expect: - relationship status - how our views on relationships can effect our relationship with God - Prioritizing time for Jesus - Shifting schedules - what does it look like to commune with God - which altar are you tending? - Kingdom or world minded - prayer and encouragement DOWNLOAD the ELEVATE YOUR FAITH pod-course guides HERE.
