The Importance of Godly Friends

What do you do when you realize that you have moved on from your friendship? I have been there so many times. When you have been pouring your life into the word of God, He will reveal who is supposed to be with you in the next journey. It is ok if you grow past your friends. It's ok for you to walk away. God wants to be able to bring people into your life that will sharpen you and point you back to Him. If you don't have that, then you need to seek the Lord and ask him to send you people who will help you rise up, not bring you down --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/givinghopeministries/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/givinghopeministries/support

Hey ya’ll, Tracee here. I am a child of YHWH, mother of 10, wife to my Grizzly, and loving friend of many. I love to use the skills YHWH had blessed me with to dig deep into His word, spreading His Truth as far and wide as I can, managing my home && Herd of 10, and helping other mommas learn how to be good stewards of their time. I am most passionate about walking out His Word && guiding women through pregnancy/birth/early stages of motherhood as a doula. I strive daily to stay in obedience to our Father while seeking the joy He has given us here on Earth. When I am not studying or working, I love to spend my time gardening, tending to my chickens, carting my children to and fro for their extra curricular activities, and reading. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/givinghopeministries/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/givinghopeministries/support

Jessica C. Williams is the founder of Warrior Women in Christ, LLC. She is a wife to Brian, a mother to four beautiful children, a podcaster, a best-selling author, and an ordained minister! ⁣⁣⁣⁣Jessica was born and raised in Detroit, MI, and later, with her husband and children, took a leap of faith and moved to South Carolina.⁣⁣⁣⁣ She has a heart and passion for helping women. She is a Christian who loves encouraging, motivating, praying, and assisting others to use their voice for a greater purpose!  As an overcomer of many past traumas, from others and self-inflicted, Jessica learned how to heal from her past wounds through Christ Jesus and the power of story. It's in this part of her journey that she began to redefine her life's narrative as her healing was no longer just her own but for her children, for those that are still holding on to brokenness, unforgiveness, shame, toxic relationships, addictions, lack of faith, fear, and rejection. Her "Yes" to Jesus meant dying to her old self, embracing pure love, forgiveness, joy, hope, peace, grace, and mercy through God. It meant facing her own truth, including the good, bad, and ugly. It meant no longer living in silence, boldly sharing the gospel of Christ Jesus, and using her God-given gifts and talents for His kingdom. God has Renewed Jessica, and her prayer is that he will do the same for many others.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/givinghopeministries/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/givinghopeministries/support

I believe As a daughter of the King: I believe God’s grace and the gift of His Holy Spirit empower us to authentically transform.  Only through ignited, obedient faith in Christ can our minds be renewed and our hearts change.  I believe we are each fearfully and wonderfully made, His image-bearers, and when we seek the Kingdom first, we trade in the ashes of this world and self for the fullness and freedom of a surrendered life. I believe our purpose is simple: to KNOW Jesus and use our gifts and endeavors to make Him KNOWN. Welcome to Fuel Your Body, Feed Your Soul.  I am so glad you’re here. xoxo, Carol --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/givinghopeministries/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/givinghopeministries/support
