    She's Not Your Enemy

    She's Not Your Enemy

    What is God's vision for our relationships with other women in our lives? Jenn stops by to address the lies of inadequacy and scarcity that we can so easily believe in our interpersonal connections. Listen for some perspective on how our postures can shift from comparison and competition to solidarity and life-giving support in our communities. 
    About the Speaker

    Episode Notes
    1 Peter 5:8  “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” 

    It’s so easy for us to make other women the enemy.
    Unhealthy comparison isn’t even the root of the issue in this spiritual battle … it’s an identity issue.
    “Our view of God- who he is and who says WE are- makes all the difference in how we interact with those around us.” 
    "Lie of Inadequacy"
    “Rejection is a pain you can actually feel in your body because social pain and physical pain activate the brain in the same places…”
    Q: How can we nurture more empathy and compassion that we may have labeled as such especially if they have inflicted wounds? 
     “Embrace the ongoing process”
    Romans 5:3-5 TPT 
    “Even in times of trouble we have a joyful confidence, knowing that our pressures  will develop in us patient endurance. 4And patient endurance will refine our character, and proven character leads us back to hope. 5And this hope is not a disappointing fantasy,  because we can now experience the endless love of God cascading into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who lives in us!”

    "Love in Action" - Lessons from Romans

    "Love in Action" - Lessons from Romans

    In this episode, Mallory digs into Romans 12:9-13 to unpack the perspective-shifting treasures the passage holds. How do we live and love like Jesus in the middle of a broken world?

     “Love is never wasted, for its value does not rest upon reciprocity.” (C.S Lewis)

    Romans 12:9-13
    Persistent theme: “The need for a humble and peaceable attitude toward others, whether fellow Christians or non-Christians."Verse 9 “Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.”
    The original Greek  means “not playing a part” Love is not simply a matter of emotion, but instead a matter of the will. “Whatever attracts the mind from God, whatever draws the affections away from Christ, is an enemy to the soul” (Ellen White) “We must not only do that which is good, but we must cleave to it. It denotes a deliberate choice of, a sincere affection for, and a constant perseverance in, that which is good.” (Henry Commentary) In this chapter, Paul is focusing on our responsibility as christians to “live a life of love in the midst of a fallen world.” (Moo pg. 84) I can’t be FAITHFUL and CYNICAL at the same time. Verse 10-  Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.
    Honor means A high internal attitude of respect, courtesy, or esteem for.How often do we willingly yield to our brothers and sisters as a way of showing honor to them? Our honor of others cannot be conditional or based on reciprocity."We have to remember that the only person qualified to throw a stone- didn’t."We often judge others by their impact but judge ourselves by our intentions. Verse 11- “Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.”
    Zeal: “a burning desire to please God, to do His will, and to advance His glory in the world in every possible way” (Erik Raymond) “Do not slack in your faithfulness and hard work…”- It’s good to consider, have I been slacking in my faithfulness? Verse 12- “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.”
    We rejoice in HOPE - not in circumstances or outcomes.Patient: “denotes not a passive putting up with things, but an active, steadfast endurance.” (Morris) “Some virtues are seen only in affliction.” (Webster) Suffering is inevitable, Joy & hope amidst suffering is not.God cares for us holistically. “We can continue to spend all of our energy fighting the waves or we can choose to adjust our sails.” Its a posture of patience amid trials.  CS Lewis quote- “We ought to give thanks for all fortune; if it is good, because it is good, if bad- because it works in us patience, humility and the contempt of this world and the hope of our eternal country.”Verse 13- Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
    Mother Theresa quote - “God gives us things to share, He doesn’t give us things to hold.”“consume less, share better.”Great tragedy of aloneness in our societyThere is an immense need for the Spirit’s intervention if we are to live Christian lives… 
     F. S. Fitzgerald — 'I hope you live a life you're proud of. And if you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.”

    Seen & Heard

    What do you do when you feel like nobody REALLY sees you? In this episode, Dr. Jennifer Konzen returns to the podcast to discuss the impact of truly believing that God is attentive to us as individuals. Jen shares a bajillion beautiful scriptures and unpacks the POWERFUL spiritual, emotional and physical implications of living “seen & heard” in our walks with God as followers of Jesus.

    Conference Blurb: “Women Helping Women Heal”Many of our lives have been touched by suffering not of our own choosing.

These kind of situations stir longing for the next life. In the pain, moving beyond survival is difficult and finding a safe circle that understands isn’t always easy. No matter what has happened (or may happen ahead), we are beloved and dignified daughters of God. Join us as we sit with the pain, affirm how low these valleys can be, and explore where to find God in our lowest times.YOU are invited!

    Painfully Faithful: Clinging to God through Suffering

    Painfully Faithful: Clinging to God through Suffering

    In this compelling episode, Maria McHargue joins us to talk about what it means for her to be faithful as a Christian who manages chronic pain. Suffering can feel unbearable at times, but God invites us to rely on Him and His love- even when nothing makes sense. Maria encourages us to anchor ourselves in Scripture as we claim God as our Rock, Refuge, and Rest amid life’s painful struggles. Wherever you are, you are not alone. 
    About the Speaker:
    Maria is originally from New Jersey and has been a disciple for over 20 years. She has a Masters in Social Work as well as her clinical license and worked as a foster care social worker for several years before going into the full-time ministry. Maria and her husband Cash have been married for over 13 years and have two kids- Isabella who is 12 and Hunter who is 10. She has served in ministry for the last 15 years in Baltimore Maryland, Madrid Spain, and Boston where she currently serves as a Women’s Ministry Leader in the South Coastal Region. Her life took a radical turn while living in Spain when she was diagnosed with a spinal tumor that left her unable to walk and in tremendous pain. After a quick flight home and two surgeries later she was partially paralyzed and her journey to relearn to walk began. She still deals with chronic pain and fatigue but she is passionate about women’s ministry and inspiring others to persevere through life’s trials. Maria is grateful for opportunities to share her story and help women grow in their trust in God. 


    Episode Notes:
    Psalm 94:18-19- When I said, “My foot is slipping!” Your unfailing love, O Eternal One, held me up. When anxiety overtakes me and worries are many, Your comfort lightens my soul.
    Tim Keller: “Suffering is unbearable if you aren’t certain that God is for you and with you.”
    Psalm 62:1-8 
    God as our Rock, Refuge & RestMuscle Memory
    the Bible is my spiritual muscle memoryTurn to the Psalms in dark and lonely placesLike David, our hope can be found in God’s faithfulness.“Anchor Scriptures” help you not drift 
    “Ever present hope” Help us be still and grounded in God. He is in control. Lam 3:21Psalm 46:1Reliance on God when nothing makes senseHebrews 5: 7-9Where do you turn when you want to give up? 
    When you’re feeling hopeless and helpless? 
    When life doesn’t make sense
    Look to Jesus and His example; fix your eyes on Him so you can endure. Hebrews 12:1-3Jesus’ example gave me and continues to give me hopePerservance, endurance is hard: It is inspiring to hear stories of how people overcame and endured difficulties- but it is not easy being the one going to through it
    There are many tearsIt is lonelyExhaustingSadIsaiah 26:3-4
    Eyes on God for spiritual restHelps to remind me of gratitudeWhat God has brought me throughLooking to God and not the problemGratitude listsPsalm 18:1-2- “I love you, LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”
    “God didn’t bring us this far to fail."
    Anchor scriptures; Looking to God as my Refuge, my Rock and my Rest
    Be gracious with yourself, God is gracious with you. 
    Pain & Joy can coexist - God is with you in & through the pain.

    Entangled Relationships: Implementing Biblical Boundaries

    Entangled Relationships: Implementing Biblical Boundaries

    In this episode, Silvia Mendez joins us to unpack the concept of boundaries through a biblical lens. Relationships are such a gift, but they can be sticky blessings to manage when they become entangled. Silvia shares phenomenal insight and many passages to help us identify unhealthy patterns and untrue narratives and encourages us to let God renew our minds for His glory and our ultimate good. 
    About the Speaker:
    Silvia Mendez has been a grateful disciple for 33 years. She is the proud mother of two amazing adult children: Luis Jr. & Jennay. Silvia was happily married for 28 years to an incredible man of faith, Luis, who has now gone on to be with the Lord.  For three years Silvia has been adjusting to life as a widow, but she continues to work and serve as a women’s ministry leader. Silvia loves learning new things every day and is deeply grateful to have the Lord walking beside her on this new chapter of her life. 
    Episode Notes:
    Galatians 6:2-5: Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves. Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, for each one should carry their own load.
    Concepts and Material Inspired from: Spiritual Discovery by Jim & Virginia Lefler 
    Distinguishing between loads and burdens in interpersonal relationships. 
    Entangled Relationship: One or both parties have unhealthy patterns that lead to some type of disfunction or strife. 
    Codependency defined in this lesson from Galatians 6: Carrying someone’s load or giving someone else your load to carry. 
    Burden is anything that makes a weight too heavy to carry on your own: physically, mentally or spiritually.
    Examples of Burdens we strive to help one another with:
    Need for guidance or encouragement Need for food or clothing (James 2:15-16) Loss of loved one (James 1:27) Sickness, Disease, trauma or other life crisis (Romans 12:10)Load comes from the Greek word for portion, used to describe a soldier’s pack. 
    Examples of Loads that we all are meant to carry ourselves: 
    Working to provide for your necessities (plan, budget)Fulfilling responsibilities at work & at home (Col 3:23-24)Being accountable for your choices and decisions and owning the consequences. (Proverbs 19:3) Being responsible for your own emotions- including your own happiness. Being responsible for our sin and personal walks with God Satan plants lies and narratives that will tempt us to overstep healthy boundaries. Most of these are rooted in either:
    EntitlementFearShame Cool translation of James 1:27- “One of the purest and most undefiled demonstrations of the gospel is to move towards hard places and broken people, not away from them”
    What are the lies that I’ve bought into that God wants me to be free from?
    What is God’s truth? What does HE say about me?
