    Why Am I Never Satisfied With My Life? | Finding Contentment in God

    Do you ever wonder why you're NEVER satisfied with your life, even after getting things you've prayed for? Why does happiness never seem to last? And why do you always want MORE? In this honest, relatable, Scripture-based Christian message for women, Patricia Calixte (Patty Pat) explores why we struggle with constant dissatisfaction, how to stop chasing the next blessing, and how to find true contentment and gratitude through a relationship with Jesus Christ. Maybe you've been praying for a husband, improved health, a better job, financial stability, or a new beginning, convinced that ONE thing will finally make you happy. Or maybe God has already answered some of your prayers, but somehow, you're STILL not satisfied! My sister, what if the problem isn't always what you're MISSING? What if you've become so focused on what you DON'T have that you've forgotten how much God has already given you? Through a hilarious modern-day story and the biblical account of the Israelites, we'll discover why getting everything we want doesn't guarantee happiness, how complaining and constantly wanting more can steal our joy, and why learning to recognize God's provision matters. Together, we'll explore what the Bible says about gratitude, thankfulness, prayer, and growing closer to Jesus, even when life doesn't go according to our plans. Chapters 00:00 – Intro: Why Am I Never Satisfied? 03:55 – Exhibit A: The Woman Who Will Remain Nameless 09:12 – Exhibit B: From Miracles to Meltdowns 14:28 – Bring It Home: When Will Enough Be Enough? 19:34 – Prayer 22:30 – Closing Words And if you stay until the end, I'll pray with you that God will help you replace dissatisfaction with gratitude! Welcome to To Run or Not To Run with Jesus Christ! I'm just your sister in Christ, walking through this with you, sharing what God has been pressing on my heart so that you can grow closer to Him, know Him more intimately, and learn to follow His guidance instead of constantly chasing the next thing you want.

    How to Overcome Fear and Anxiety With God

    Struggling with fear, anxiety, constant worrying, or spiritual warfare? This Christian message for women looks at what Scripture says about overcoming fear with God and why anxiety does not have to control your life. After living with fear for long enough, it can start sounding less like something you struggle with... and more like who you are. But what if fear is not your identity?What if there’s something important about fear that you’ve been missing? Patricia Calixte (Patty Pat) goes straight to Scripture to explore where fear entered the picture, what God has given us to fight it, and why Jesus tells us not to worry even when the things we’re afraid of are very real. If God didn’t give us a spirit of fear...where is it coming from? And more importantly...what are we supposed to do about it? Because God did not give you a spirit of fear.And fear does not get to lead your life! Stay until the end for a declaration and prayer as we bring fear, anxiety, our future, our loved ones, our health, and the things we cannot control back to God. Chapters 00:00 Intro 05:38 Why Would Jesus Say “Don’t Worry”? 09:30 “I’ve Always Been an Anxious Person” 13:15 How Fear Entered the Picture 17:49 Solution #1 26:16 Solution #2 30:02 Solution #3 35:48 A Message for You 48:40 Declaration 51:41 Prayer 57:50 Closing Welcome to To Run or Not To Run with Jesus Christ!I’m just your sister in Christ, walking through this with you and sharing what God has been pressing on my heart.

    When Your Plans Fall Apart, God May Be Redirecting You

    Feeling like your plans are falling apart and wondering what God is doing? Maybe the relationship ended. Your health got affected. The opportunity disappeared. The door closed. And now you’re wondering: “Jesus… now what?” In this honest Christian message for women, Patricia Calixte (Patty Pat) shares 3 practical biblical solutions to help you recognize when Jesus may be redirecting your life, and what to do when the path in front of you no longer looks like the one you planned. Because sometimes what feels like your life falling apart may actually be Jesus redirecting you. This message examines the evidence through two powerful witnesses. First, we look at Lee Strobel, the former atheist and investigative journalist behind The Case for Christ, who set out to investigate Christianity and prove it wrong, only to find himself confronted by the evidence for Jesus Christ. Then we go straight into Scripture and examine the life of Saul of Tarsus, later known as Paul, a man who was educated, determined, successful, and absolutely convinced he was headed in the right direction… until Jesus stopped him on the road to Damascus and changed everything. In this message, we’ll talk about how to stop assuming an interruption means failure, how to stay close enough to Jesus to recognize His direction, and how to have the courage to turn around when He leads you somewhere you never expected. Chapters 00:00 Intro 03:58 The Case of the Day 05:13 Exhibit A: Lee Strobel 11:27 Exhibit B: Saul of Tarsus 19:22 The Case for Jesus 21:11 A Message for You 23:12 Solution #1 26:42 Solution #2 31:57 Solution #3 37:34 The Objection 39:26 The Strongest Evidence 43:16 Closing Argument & Verdict 45:13 Your Next Step 48:18 Declaration 50:24 Prayer 55:27 Closing Stay until the end for a declaration and prayer asking God for clarity, courage, discernment, obedience, and the willingness to follow Jesus wherever He leads.
