This is my story. On this podcast, I will share all the ways God has transformed my life. There is NO WAY I would be here without His guidance and without the love of the people He placed in my life. This life is not my own. I have incredible stories to tell. No matter what I have been through, I am Simply Iris.

The Year Of Jubilee
Johannes Hoekendijk said, "Jubilee is exodus spelled out in terms of social salvation..." (https://www.bu.edu/missiology/missionary-biography/g-h/hoekendijk-johannes-christiaan-1912-1975/) The Bible is clear about what God says. It is clear about what He expects from those who love Him. Although the Bible can be difficult to comprehend, for many reasons, we have endless opportunities to discuss, research, dissect, argue, and question for the purpose of further understanding God's word. Scripture is written for us. God had much to say. Let's dig in together.

Sin
What is sin? Little is mentioned in Christian circles concerning the issue of sin and our sin condition. I believe leaders have tried to make members feel good about themselves without digging into the real issue of sin. No one wants to admit their faults. That takes courage. It also takes courage on the part of the listener. Are you ready to hear that your pastor or bible teacher has sinned? We live in cancel culture and many leaders who have confessed, either voluntarily or due to being caught, have been hiding or cast out of their home churches for their sinful behavior. Are we hypocrites? Absolutely. The very people making the choice to cast out leaders are themselves struggling with much but do not share it openly. We only get to see what has been buffed and cleaned up on the outside. Each of us struggles with sin and it's time to admit it.
Being open and honest about our struggles with sin is long overdue for us leaders. We need to be the Church and "confess our sins to one another" and "pray for each other." (James 5:16) It takes courage and we need to be diligent in assessing and examining our hearts before our communities of faith. No longer should people follow leaders who profess sinlessness and self-righteousness. Being "in Christ" does not mean we are Christ. We strive to imitate our Savior but fall short every time. (Romans 3:23) May we never believe that we can stop "working out our salvation with fear and trembling." (Philippians 2:12)
Today's episode tackles the issue of sin and our sin nature. How is it that a perfect, sinless God continues to pursue sinful, broken people? Why do we choose sin over God in an uncontrollable way? Let's chat about that. *As always, send your feedback on today's episode by commenting on the podcast page or sending an email to simplyirispodcast@gmail.com. Thank you.

Episode 5 - THE FINALE - A Conversation With Lissette Fuentes
Lissette Fuentes
Singer/Songwriter, preacher, leader, teacher, wife, mother, sister, friend. She seems to be able to do it all with ease...but, in the midst of life's circumstances, she finds herself debilitated by a rare condition that threatens to paralyze her body and diminish her faith.
All along, God is leading her to a spiritual transformation and an unexpected breakthrough! Listen to her story of resilience, faith, and hope from a place of agonizing physical pain and utter despair. This conversation rocked me to the core!
