096: Your preparation + testing season ❤️‍🔥

In this episode, we talk about what it means to be in a preparation / testing / waiting season with God. I share personal experiences and insights about spiritual growth, waiting on God's timing, and understanding His deep love and true character.  There are important steps in your preparation season that include: surrendering to the mental, physical, and emotional deliverance, transformation + preparation that Jesus refines us through, and also understanding the dangers of deception in new age practices, new thought concepts, and false teachers (even in the church).  Here’s to building up more patience + discernment in this season, and ultimately learning to REST in Jesus 🩵🕊️

095: Am I being guided by God?

In this episode, we briefly discuss how to discern whether you're following the spirituality of God + Jesus …or if you may be falling into New Age beliefs + practices. I explain the enemy's deception tactics, how to identify true spirituality rooted in God, and the differences between God's will and self-driven desires.  Don't forget to like, subscribe, and check out the resources in the description for more support.
