    It's Time: Faithful to the End

    In this week's episode, Crystal shares how the LORD used the study of the first chapter of "It's Time" to speak to her heart and challenge her to be faithful to the end. Join her as she shares her thoughts on living a life committed to the LORD and reflects on some of her favorite passages from the study.  Psalm 37:5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.  Psalm 16:8  I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Psalm 62:1-2 1 Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. 2 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved. Psalm 73:26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. Get your copy of It's Time (linked below) and join in on the study today!

    For Love's Sake...

    Philemon is a small book of the Bible, but it is filled with lessons that can be applied to our Christian lives today. Join Crystal as she takes a closer look at this letter from Paul, who wrote to inform Philemon that his slave, Onesimus, was now a believer and to bring about full forgiveness and reconciliation between these two Christian brothers.

    Ministry Mindset with Quortney J

    Ministry is the spiritual work or service of any Christian. To minister to someone is to attend and serve; to perform service in any office, sacred or secular. We are all in the ministry!  Join Crystal as she chats with Quortney J from Running Redeemed about the various ministries of her local church and how she balances "all the things" as a busy wife and mom.  Available Bible Studies and Bible Study Guides (affiliate links): It's Time.Arise, Go.Pullin' Weeds, Plantin' SeedsThere's a Fly in my Tea!Study Your Bible With Me SeriesConnect with me: InstagramFacebookWebsiteSend me a message.

    Risen with Christ? Live It!

    If we have accepted Christ as our Savior, we are risen with Christ! Now let's learn how to live like it.  Colossians chapter three is filled with practical instruction for our everyday lives. We can find guidance for our personal spiritual lives, our mental health, our mindset, our work, and our relationships.  "The LORD has used some of these verses to drastically change me over the years, my habits, my perspective. Let me tell you about it." ~Crystal Get your Colossians study guide here.  Available Bible Studies and Bible Study Guides (affiliate links): It's Time.Arise, Go.Pullin' Weeds, Plantin' SeedsThere's a Fly in my Tea!Study Your Bible With Me SeriesConnect with me: InstagramFacebookWebsiteSend me a message.

    Don't Get Lopsided!

    This week, Crystal shares some of what she has been learning in her study of Colossians.  Jesus, the preeminent one! He is the one that has made us complete. The word complete carries the idea of being “filled up.” We are literally filled up with Jesus Christ and just have to let Him live through us! Knowing and understanding this freedom that we've been given should cause us to desire to live a life pleasing to the LORD.  And yet, sometimes we can get a little lopsided as we consider God's grace. We tend to lean either to the side of license or legalism. Instead, we must find the balance that puts us right in the middle so we can enjoy the liberty we have in Christ.

    Prayer Leads to Connection

    Let's talk about spiritual prayers! Paul prayed for the spiritual needs of the saints over and over again. He had a burden to see fellow believers grow in their knowledge of God's Word and His will. He desired for them to demonstrate patience, long suffering, joy and thanksgiving through the power of the Holy Spirit! In today's episode, Crystal shares how considering Paul's examples of spiritual prayers has changed the way she prays for her own church family. She will explain her new prayer binder and how praying more intentionally for her church family has allowed her to form deeper connections with them. If you'd like to join Crystal and the ladies of the Her Portion Podcast studying Colossians this month, get your study guide here.  Available Bible Studies and Bible Study Guides (affiliate links): It's Time.Arise, Go.Pullin' Weeds, Plantin' SeedsThere's a Fly in my Tea!Study Your Bible With Me SeriesConnect with me: InstagramFacebookWebsite Send me a message.
