Their words will resonate with you and lead you to push back on culture leading this conversation by encouraging you to listen to what God our creator has to say instead.
Showing Up For Our Bodies
Today's conversation is real and personal as Lisa shares a little peek into her long and complicated relationship with her body, food, and exercise. Lisa asks three thought-provoking questions that will push us to honest conversations about our own bodies. Settle in and listen, letting Lisa's words wash over you, bringing you to a place of gratitude as you think about the body that God has given you.
Putting God First
Do you struggle with putting God first in your life? Or maybe you desire to do that but don't exactly know how to accomplish it. Lisa discusses why we need to put God first, how the Cycle of Complication plays into that, and gives practical tips for applying those ideas to our life.
Behind The Scenes: What Derails Your Faith?
Most believers have experienced a loss or lack of faith at one time or another. The key to overcoming it or possibly preventing it in the future is knowing how it happened. Lisa gives us an equation that has the power to derail a wavering faith that we all need to hear.
Denial vs. Development
King Saul had every opportunity to be used and molded by God, but he didn't always take advantage of it. In fact, he spent much of his reign in denial of God's truth. Lisa outlines two things that we tend to do when we have a difficult past, what those things have to do with denial, and how we can overcome them.
Perfect vs. Pliable
David was known as "a man after God's own heart," and it would be easy to assume that meant that he was perfect. However, the Bible details many areas in which David wasn't perfect, so why was he so special to God? The answer - he was pliable. Listen in as Lisa shares the questions we should be asking ourselves to help us move more towards being moldable instead of striving for perfection.
