The Christians Podcast

I‘m really challenged to speak about this. I really do believe you can’t call yourself a „gay Christian“, I feel like it comes forth is you mocking God and it just goes to show that you have no fear of God. Take a listen on today’s episode (which by the way, is the last episode of season 2!). References Scripture: Isaiah 3:9, Revelation 3, John. For more in depth reading and studying: Genesis 19, Romans 1&6. Don’t forget to subscribe to the podcast, like and share this episode! Talk to you all in season 3🤗

Sometimes bending a tree looks like cutting off the dead branches that weigh it down! Discipline is something that’s missing in today’s society, we see the rebellion that’s grippingly this generation. I do believe if we have healthier homes, fathers that are PRESENT, better upbringings, Jesus at the center of the family…society would look a lot different! Even God, as our Heavenly Father corrects us because He loves us. Today I speak on disciplining children, teaching them respect + honor and building their character in a good/healthy way! Listen in.

Hi Friends, today‘s episode is all things Fasting. I have seen this tool change my life and it’s still changing my life. Fasting is a time for you to connect and grow an even more intimate relationship with God! When you fast you have to be intentional about spending time in prayer, reading the word, watching sermons that are Bible based and stay praised up. Sometimes during a fast you may have no encounter with God, no dreams, no visions…but don’t let that discourage you! In Daniel 10 the Angel Gabriel comes to Daniel in response to his prayer and fasting that he did, Daniel‘s prayers was heard from day one but in the second heavens there was a spiritual war that broke out because of those prayers! You don’t know what you’re prayers are doing in the heavens, so DON‘T STOP PRAYING! And sometimes you have to hit the rock more than once before it eventually breaks! During a fast you have to do a lot of repentance: personal repentance, family repentance, bloodline repentance, repenting for the nation where God has placed you etc. It’s also a time to cry out for mercy! In Joel 2 we read about the deliverance and restoration that came after the children of Israel had fasted, prayed, repented and cried out for mercy. And repentance is a 180 degree turn around from your sins and to now turn to God: and the fruit of your repentance should be evident! Referential Scriptures in today’s episode: -Matthew 6 -Matthew 4 -Exodus 34 -Esther 4 -Daniel 9&10 -Joel 2 Talk to you in the next episode!

I believe there are many Christians that grew up being baptized as a baby without really having an understanding and knowledge of what exactly Baptism is. I delve into scripture concerning what Baptism is and what it represents. Listen in :)

I’m saddened by the fact that so many Christians walk around here on these streets lost and bound. Not knowing who they are and whose they are. 1 Corinthians 2:12, reveals that if you don’t have the Holy Spirit you won’t know the things that have been freely given to you. Begin to read the Will and Testament (the Bible) of Jesus Christ, and as a child of God know the inheritance you have received, and walk in that revelation with boldness and confidence in Christ! Reference Scriptures in this episode: 1 Corinthians 2, Colossians 2, Hebrews 9 and John 16.

Happy 2024! I just wanted to jump on and greet the gang and wish all my listeners a prosperous new year! I’ll talk to you guys in the next episode! 😊

I’ll talk to you guys in the next episode! :)

Zephaniah 1:12 and Psalm 127:1-2

You’ve probably heard this quote before „show me your friends and I’ll tell you who you are“. You might not be aware of it, but the people you associate yourself with play a big role in your life. Today’s guest Tunaiye (Toni) shares a little bit of how God opened her eyes to see how the people that she associate herself with affect her life, purpose and view. I hope today’s episode encourages and inspires you to see deeper and meaningful relationships.

We’re kicking off with season 2, and I’m so excited to be back with a short episode for this new season! You can go check out the latest posts I spoke about on The Christians Post under the following link: https://thechristianspost.wordpress.com/blog-2/

A quick word and prayer! From the passage of Jeremiah 42.

Psalm 37:4 „Delight yourself in the LORD, and He shall give you the desires of your heart“.

Exercise helps a lot when struggling with a mental health shortcoming. 6. Journal, put your thoughts (good & bad) on paper! Social Handles: You guys can follow today’s guest on IG at Sima.Psych.

Thea Links and I linked up to have a conversation on what it means to trust God in hard times. Thea opens up about her season she battled with anxiety and dealing with church hurt. We dive into therapy, and God being intentional about the people He place in our lives when we go through tough times.The highlight and important advice I took away from this conversation was to just stand, to stand on the word of God. And to put in the work (be practical) to become a better version of yourself. Let's stay connected:  You can follow today’s guest on IG at Thealinks27.

I think so many times we unpack with our feelings and emotions and then we just stay there. And not every day will always be a „high“ there will be days where you feel down, and it’s okay, I have those days myself. However I’m learning to not just unpack and say there, but to lift myself up with the Word and worship. Because at the end of the day, God’s Word is eternal and it stands above my feelings and my emotions. And in my low moments I get to choose, do I want to believe these feelings and allow them to govern my life OR do I want to believe God’s Word and allow it to govern my life.

People ask me a lot in my DM‘s what I’m doing in Germany, how did I get to Germany etc. and I thought it would be nice to do an episode on my Au-pair story since I’m rounding up this season of my life! I started off working as a stay-in-Nanny before embarking on my Au-pair journey. I did a three month language course in Namibia at the Goethe Institut and I opened a profile for myself on aupairworld.com where I looked for a host family. I also reached out to Clara‘s Au Pair Agency to help me find a host family and I actually paid for the first part of my application process. However at the end of the day, I found my house family through a friend of mine, she actually recommended me to her previous host family:) and I matched the family‘s profile. So that’s I got my family. I forgot to mention that the age requirement to work as an Au-pair in Germany is between 18-26 years old, hence I was so adamant to come to Germany before I turned 26 years old last year (lol). If you know of someone or maybe you are that someone that loves children and traveling, Au-pair might just be for you :).

Have you ever had daddy issues? I’ve had my fair share of father wounds! In today’s episode I unpack on a Forgiveness letter I wrote to my father. My father wounds planted some seeds of unforgiveness, trust issues, and control issues! How has your father‘s presence or absence impacted your life? You can go read a piece I wrote a year ago on father wounds https://thechristianspost.wordpress.com/2021/03/15/father-wounds-dealing-with-daddy-issues/.
