114. 4 Keys to Confidently Share Biblical Truth in a Divided World

114.  4 Keys to Confidently Share Biblical Truth in a Divided World</p> 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.</p> Key Takeaways:</p> <ol><li>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.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li> </ol>Scripture References:</p> <ul><li>Psalm 119:105 – "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."</li> <li>2 Timothy 3:16-17 – "All scripture is breathed out by God..."</li> <li>Proverbs 11:2 – "When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom."</li> <li>Ephesians 4:15 – "Speaking the truth in love..."</li> <li>Romans 8:28 – "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him..."</li> </ul> Join Us:<br /> 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. Listen now and share with a friend!

109. Experiencing God’s Unconditional Love With Avery Forrest

Hey friend,</p> In this episode, Avery and Samantha delve into the profound journey of moving from a performance-driven relationship with God to truly experiencing His unconditional love.</p> Avery shares her background as a pastor’s kid and how, despite knowing about God all her life, it wasn’t until she was freed from the cycle of performance that she truly felt His love. She discusses how this shift transformed her understanding of God's love—from something to earn, to something to experience deeply. Samantha echoes these sentiments, reflecting on her own struggles with striving and how breaking free from this mindset led her to a deeper, more intimate relationship with God.</p> The conversation emphasizes the importance of knowing God's love beyond just intellectual understanding. Both hosts explore the challenges many believers face in truly feeling loved by God and discuss how a shift in mindset and heartset can radically transform one's faith journey.</p> Avery and Samantha's conversation is a heartfelt call to break free from the cycle of performance and to embrace the fullness of God's love, leading to a more authentic and joyful relationship with Him.<br /> <br /> Praying this episode encourages you and points you back to the heart of our Father.</p> Until next time,<br /> Sam</p> Come say hi 👋 to Avery on Instagram here: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/averyforrest_/">https://www.instagram.com/averyforrest_/</a><br /> She created a free resource for you: <a href="https://www.averyforrest.com/time-with-god-page">https://www.averyforrest.com/time-with-god-page</a></p> <em>PS.
