Broadcast His Love

Choosing Jesus in a Trial with Kim Scott

No one is perfect. We all sin and fall short of the glory of God. But what do we do when we have troubles and trials that change everything? Do we turn to Jesus? Do we choose Jesus in our darkest hour?
The Bible says we will have troubles. “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 NIV
This week's guest, Kim Scott, encourages us to Jesus telling us how a tragedy in her life drew her to Jesus. From that trial, Kim has a new, energized boost to want to share His love with others, using platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
Thank you Kim for your time and for sharing what God has on your heart!

Are You Trying?

This week we talk about how trying to do this or that might fail you, but God never will fail... Never! Praying this message shows you more of God's heart and it urges you to read His word to learn more about His love for you and others. Thanks for listening!

Hearing from God with Christin Turner

Christin Turner takes a deep dive this week into how to hear from God. In this podcast, she describes hearing God's voice in several ways but in one way she says God's voice is like a radio frequency and it's always playing, but do we have our radio tuned into His frequency to hear Him talking to you? Do you have your radio turned on? Are you tuned into Jesus? So good right!?
Christin such a trusted voice in my life. She is so tuned into Jesus and His voice. I pray you are drawn to God's voice and you hear from God in this episode. 
Here is a link to the study she referenced in this podcast below in the hyperlink. Note that you have to pay to get this study, and there is also a free quiz: Prophetic Personalities – Truth to Table
Also, below are the authors/speakers that have been helpful for Christin as she has learned to hear from God:
Graham Cooke
Kris Vallotton
Shawn Bolz
As a bonus! Christin wanted to share with you all a prayer she likes to pray before reading Scripture or anytime.
She prays:
"God, open my eyes to see the things of you more clearly.
Open my ears to hear you more clearly.
Open my mind to understand you.
Open my heart to feel what you feel.
And strengthen my will to obey."
Towards the end of the podcast, Christin also talks about when she has felt like she is not hearing from God. This podcast is one of my favorites! Thank you Christin for your time!
And, thank you for listening! If you have questions after listening to this podcast, email Christin at christinhturner@gmail.com

"Just Write" with Best Selling Author Dawn Barton

Dawn Barton is the best-selling author of Laughing Through the Ugly Cry. She encourages listeners in this interview to write if they feel called to write.
Dawn is a Joyologist, speaker, Jesus lover, and cancer crusher. Very grateful for her sharing how God has drawn her closer to Him in her different seasons. 
Her favorite verse that is helping her in this season is about modesty. "I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God." 1 Timothy 2:9-10
Love how she tells us "hottest is modest!" It's true! Love ya, Dawn!

Small Groups and Prayer with Ginger DeVries

This week we are talking about small groups and prayer with Ginger DeVries. To some, a small group may sound like a pretty intimidating church phrase. But Ginger explains the benefits of joining a small group for your daily walk with God. 
Hebrews 10:24-25 brings everything home! It reads -- "And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near (Hebrews 10:24-25)." 
So good. We need other Christ-followers to encourage us in the Lord, drawing us closer to Him and His goodness. The way you do small groups this year may be different than how small groups have looked in the past, but that's ok. We talk more about that in this podcast.
The scripture Ginger shares as her favorite verse helping her through this season is Zephaniah 3:17 which reads:
"The Lord your God is with you,    the Mighty Warrior who saves.He will take great delight in you;    in his love he will no longer rebuke you,    but will rejoice over you with singing.” 
Ginger talks about small groups in Pensacola at Echo Life Church. You can check out their current groups, here: www.echolifechurch.com/groups
Ginger also talked about taking a spiritual gifts test to see what gifts God has given you. Here is the website she recommends in the podcast to go for more information: https://www.lifeway.com/en/articles/women-leadership-spiritual-gifts-growth-service
Last but not least! At the end of the podcast, we talk about how "faith comes from hearing." Here is that scripture: "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ." Romans 10:17

Glorify with Henry Costa

This is a fun one! Please enjoy hearing from the CEO and Co-Founder of Glorify, Henry Costa. We talk about his application that is free right now, called, "Glorify." You can download it at the time this podcast is airing for free, but Henry does say that could change... So just a heads up!
This app is awesome and it’s scripture focused, so that’s why I wanted you all to know about it. I pray this app encourages you all in your walk with the Lord.
This app has been a game changer for me with my quiet time. I usually listen to the Glorify daily devotional after my morning quiet time of reading the Bible and journaling a prayer to God in the morning. This app helps me get focused on the Lord even after I walk away from my Bible. So awesome right!?
I’m very thankful for this app and the people who have put it together and create the apps content. There’s new content daily!!The link to download their app and connect with them is listed below.

Discipline with Coach Whitney Lee

This week, my friend Whitney Lee shares with us that God has given her a gift of discipline. So awesome! I have never met anyone like Whitney and I think you all are going to love her!!
I learned so much from Whitney in this conversation and I pray you do as well, for God's glory.
In this conversation, Whitney is talking with us from South Korea. She is married and living and working there at an international school. She is a P.E. teacher. 
Whitney has been gifted by God with discipline. She tells us every morning she gets up for her quiet time/study time in the Bible and then she works out. She is diligent about seeking God while working out saying she wants to be prepared for what God wants me to do. 
She said, "God is so good at using what we give Him." By working out and staying in shape she talks about how she aims to do good with what God has given her. She also talks about a recent struggle she went through after a knee surgery and about how painful her recovery was. But she said she learned through the process that "God will use me no matter where He has me." 
Whitney is a dear friend of mine and I pray her encouragement finds you in a place ready to receive it and be encouraged by her for God's glory.
The book she talks about is called, "Every Body Matters." Here is a link to the book if you are interested in more information: https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/every-body-matters-strengthening-your-body-to-strengthen-your-soul_gary-l-thomas/330991/item/414545/?mkwid=%7cdc&pcrid=479706401736&pkw=&pmt=&slid=&plc=&pgrid=117123301190&ptaid=pla-1019266062864&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIl737nvmc7gIVDdbACh0fEg2-EAQYASABEgKT5vD_BwE#idiq=414545&edition=6674174
She shares Luke 22:31-33 “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”
And Colossians 4:2-4 "Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should."
Thanks for your time, Whitney Lee!
