    A Listening: Saved, Single, and Same-Sex Attracted

    In this episode, Yana sits down with her friends Jonathan & Kat to hear about who they are and their stories. Jonathan points to the value of friendship and accountability through his season of exploring what following Jesus meant for him, even down to his sexuality. He shares the hope and joy found in forfeiting what his flesh felt like it genuinely needed, and in the forfeiting his soul and heart found what it actually needed and was longing for. Kat shares about her experience and story of coming to know Jesus. She shares about learning to trust the Lord and that He is not scared of her flaws and sin, but more so pursues her because of those things. In Jonathan and Kat’s stories, we hear about their moment of realizing that Christ is the answer to having a fulfilled life, and that it is not through our sexual desires being fulfilled.  Resources :  Scriptures referenced in this episode : John 10:10; Psalm 139.  Follow Me :  Instagram | Website | Patreon Patreon : Through patreon we offer additional resources (discussion questions, access to the episodes early, community facebook group, etc.).

    Singleness and the New Year

    There is no other holiday that causes just about everyone on the planet to be reflective more than the start of a new year, considering where they are in relation to where they want to be. This process can bring about all kinds of emotions--shame, disappointment, despair, pride, anger, etc. It can also cause many of us to go into the new year with a "carpe-diem-seize-the-day" kind of energy that can be more harmful than good. In this episode, Yana Jenay is joined by music artist and worship leader, Jordan Welch, to talk about the pros and cons of goal setting, the gift of journaling, and the necessity of self-reflection for spiritual growth while also sharing times when they tried to take their relationship status into their own hands and will for it to change.  Resources Mentioned in this Episode: Deeply Formed Life by Rich Villados Yinka, Where is Your Huzband? by Lizzie Blackburn Knowing God by J. I. Packer **Disclaimer: This episode was recorded prior to the recent exposure of the Enneagram personality tool being of demonic origins.
