Unashamed: Relatable Messes

16. What is CONSECRATION and why we SHOULD do this!!

What is consecration? In this episode we’re going to study what consecration meant, why this prepares us, how this affects us and why we should be doing this more often! Steps: 1) Remember God’s grace in our lives 2) Remove our idols and distractions 3) Repent of sinful attitudes + actions 4) Recommit our hearts to the Lord. ☀️☀️Declaring your love and devotion to God as our greatest and highest pursuit ☀️☀️

15. Stop cheapening yourself, you’ve got it going on

A quick encouragement. The Creator of all things, created this world and said, “it is good.” He then created you, with every detail in your being, and delighted in YOU. That every time you do something that only YOU can do, He is DELIGHTED. Culture changes it’s definitions, but the truth remains. You were a thought and Gods mind and He knew we needed you, every bit of you 💛 How beautiful is that?
