114.  4 Keys to Confidently Share Biblical Truth in a Divided World In today’s episode, we tackle the challenge of confidently sharing biblical truth in a divided culture. Join us as we explore four strategies to help you speak God’s Word with conviction, clarity, and love. We dive deep into how getting rooted in scripture, cultivating a humble heart, communicating with compassion, and living a life that reflects faith can transform the way you share your beliefs. Key Takeaways: Get in God’s Word Daily: Building a foundation in scripture equips you to share truth with authority and confidence. Devotionals and sermons are wonderful supplements, but direct, daily Bible reading is essential.Cultivate Humility and a Teachable Spirit: Confidence should be paired with humility. Approach conversations and scripture with a willingness to learn and admit when you don’t know all the answers.Communicate with Love and Compassion: Biblical truth is powerful, but speaking with empathy and understanding helps you connect meaningfully with others, inviting them to engage.Live Out Your Faith: Actions speak louder than words. When we live what we believe, it builds trust and shows others that we’re committed to living by the gospel.Scripture References: Psalm 119:105 – "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."2 Timothy 3:16-17 – "All scripture is breathed out by God..."Proverbs 11:2 – "When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom."Ephesians 4:15 – "Speaking the truth in love..."Romans 8:28 – "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him..." Join Us: Tune in to learn how these four strategies can empower you to share your faith confidently. Let’s grow together as women who boldly and lovingly proclaim God’s Word.

96. The Good Shepherd's Promise: Finding Rest in the Chaos of Motherhood   Hey friends! In honor of Mother's Day, I decided to have a little fun and bring on my oldest daughter, Grace for a quick interview. Listen to some of her sweet answers in this episode. After our interview, we explore the sacred calling of motherhood and the profound ways in which God's care sustains and strengthens mothers through every season of life. Through candid conversations and heartfelt reflections, I encourage Christian mothers to find rest and comfort in the loving embrace of the Good Shepherd, who tenderly cares for His flock. Through scriptural insights and personal anecdotes, we unpack the profound truth of Isaiah 40:11, reminding listeners of the shepherd's promise to tend His flock, gather the lambs in His arms, and gently lead those who are with young. As we reflect on the symbolism of the shepherd's care and provision,  there is a message of hope and encouragement to weary mothers, inviting them to find solace and renewal in the restorative love of God. Whether you're navigating the challenges of motherhood, seeking encouragement in your faith journey, or simply longing for a moment of rest in the midst of life's chaos, this episode offers a beacon of hope and inspiration.  Until next time, Sam   Are you ready to build community in person and fall deeper in love with Jesus?
