Today, we are talking to a wonderful Christian mama who has a huge heart for helping women who have left the Mormon church, because she did as well. Like me, she had a rocky faith journey after leaving and got swept up in new-age spirituality.
With the power of prayer and the love of Jesus, Courtney Ko now finds herself walking in step with the Jesus of the Bible.

Are we truly enough? What affirmations speak and transform

A Story of Faith from Ex-LDS and New Believer, Sara Jimenez.

How hard is it to trust God? After we leave the thing that was supposed to be our salvation, how do we ever put trust in God again? Today we are talking to Sara Jimenez.Sara spent all her time doing everything she could to earn God’s favor in order to make her life better and got nowhere.
She gave up on God and religion.
And when she was angriest with God, the most broken that is when she felt His love.
It is not about earning His favor. It’s about trusting Him to bring peace in hearts even at the hardest times. Trusting Him that those hard times may even be what brings us to Him. Trusting Him with our lives and souls. This is a story of faith.

Have you felt the tug of depression? Statistically, one in six women in the United States is on an anti-depressant. Not good odds. And all the self-help stuff often has only temporary relief, if not lasting negative effects. It becomes negative because the focus of all self-help goes back to one, solitary problem- ourselves. It always relies on us tapping into this strength we have somewhere inside us and suddenly snapping out of it. Then, when we can’t find this strength or it doesn’t last we are left feeling more deficient, more lost, less equipped, and more broken. Ladies, It takes a true mind-shift to gain mental peace and that can’t be found in self-help books, the latest motivational trend, or even within our strength. This mind shift happens when the most amazing moment comes and you realize you were never meant to be the strong one. In fact, you were meant to surrender. His will is strong enough to move mountains. All we have to do is give it to Him.
The guest we have on the show today has focused all her work in Christ to make that mind shift. Lauren Roskilly is a woman who has walked through the fire, been in the depths of depression and illness and has risen above on His strength. With a renewed sense of purpose, she now lives in His purpose taking direction from God alone on where to serve. Lauren is a mum of two beautiful children. She has a BA Hons in Health and social care and also a diploma in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). She is the author of the book, ‘Christian-based Cognitive Behavioral therapy’, a Christian Life Coach, she helps people to recognize and overcome limiting beliefs & negative mindsets and help them to discover and step into their God-given purpose.

his episode spoke volumes to me and willing to be it will for you also.

How many of you are sitting right now hesitant to pick up the bible. We know we are told how it can move in our lives, but it’s intimidating, uncomfortable and we question, will He really speak to us?
Is the Bible something we can even understand?
Our guest today, Candice Reyes found herself in this exact position.
She is a speaker, fellow podcast host, author, mama, and follower of Jesus.
At an integral part of her life, she recognized that she could not possibly be alone in her hesitation to open the bible. She created a beautiful and practical way for us to get into the word, pray and worship. This is Candice’s story of finding faith and her amazing direction on how you can study the Bible and know our Lord.
