    Boundaries Ep. 3: WORDS

    On today's episode we continue on our topic of boundaries and talk about how our words hold power. Self-control is a fruit of the spirit and only we have the ability to ask God for that gift so that our words can be helpful and not harmful. Our words shape our thoughts, behaviors, and have influence over those around us.  Scripture References Ephesians 4: 29 Proverbs 18:21 Proverbs 12:18 Galatians 5:22-23 Matthew 28:19-20 John 4 - The Samaritan Woman* This story was referenced but not quoted

    Boundaries in Relationships

    Today we are continuing our topic on boundaries. Last week we discussed boundaries as they relate to time and today we are discussing when to set boundaries in relationships. I am NOT an expert and work continuously myself to implement healthy boundaries in my life. Knowing the boundaries are biblical and the parameters for which to set boundaries are in God's word should be a comfort to us! Verses in today's episode: Matthew 22:37-40 Galatians 1:10-12 Matthew 7:15-20 Galatians 5:22-23 ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:43-45 1 Corinthians 13:2 Romans 13:10 ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭4:23‬

    Our first lesson on... BOUNDARIES

    Today we embark on the topic of boundaries! This is a topic that is near and dear to my heart as it is one that I have worked so hard on. Today we will talk about the boundary of time and how people pleasing can rob us from setting boundaries. I discuss the book The Best Yes by Lysa TerKeurst (you can find it on Amazon here!) and how the lessons from that book took a hold of my soul. If there are boundary topics you would like to hear more of please send your suggestions to inpursuitwithalyssamay@gmail.com. Verses from today's episode: ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2:14-16‬ ‭ESV‬‬‭‭ Proverbs‬ ‭17:22‬ ‭NLT‬‬ ‭‭Luke‬ ‭5:16‬ ‭NLT Mark 4: 38-40 John  11:38-44 Proverbs 4: 23

    Faith in the Midst of Tragedy

    Two days ago our country was hit by tragedy with the school shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas where 19 children and two adults where killed by a mass shooter. This is the biggest school shooting since the shooting at Sandy Hook which occurred a little over ten years ago. During times like this it is hard to have hope and remain faithful but it is times such as these where we need Jesus more than ever. Verses in today's episode Job 1:6-12 Job 19:25-27 Psalm 18:2 Isaiah 40:31 Luke 8:11-18 If you have questions, concerns, or requests for topics for future episodes feel free to contact me at inpursuitwithalyssamay@gmail.com. Thank you for your time and continued support. I greatly appreciate each and every one of you. I hope you continue to enjoy your pursuit!

    The Weight of Guilt and Shame

    We are carrying around a weight that is not ours to carry! As Christians we gave up this weight the moment that we accepted Christ as our savior. That doesn't mean that we always adhere to that or walk in His grace all the time. Thankfully He has enough grace for each of our days. Verse's from today's episode Psalm 103:12  John 3:16 Matthew 11: 28-30 Jeremiah 29: 11-14 1 Corinthians 13:1-7 (MSG) Romans 6:1-11 NLT If you ever have questions or show recommendations feel free to email me at inpursuitwithalyssamay@gmail.com.

    The Time is Yours

    We are always so worried about time. Is now the right time to start a new journey? Will I have time later to pursue it? There is always time to learn friends but there is no time to worry. Verses from today's episode Ecclesiastes 3:1-12 The Lazy Genius Way  https://www.amazon.com/Lazy-Genius-Way-Embrace-Matters/dp/0525653937/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1652396705&sr=8-1
