Suffering With Purpose: How God Redeems Our Pain

Hi! Welcome back to the Scrubbed In & Spirit Led podcast! We are a chapter of Nurses Christian Fellowship based in Rapid City, SD. Our mission is to encourage, equip, and empower nursing and pre-nursing students to be God’s light in the nursing field. In this week’s episode, your co-hosts, Kirsten and Mackenna, talk about what it means to suffer and how beautiful suffering can be…. if we let it. Here on earth is the only place where we will have to go through tragedies and suffering. So, if we are on this earth for such a scarce amount of time, we might as well use every last second of it to grow closer to Christ and testify of His goodness and strength. Tune in to this episode to hear how we can approach the idea of suffering with a changed mindset and learn some action steps to take when in a difficult season. Many times, God will give us more than we can handle to go through the pruning, crushing, and fire to grow closer into the likeness of Him. It is our job to be prepared and armor up to stand against the enemy who only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. It is through these trials where we can truly know and see God’s character on such an intimate and unique level. So, let’s learn how to partner with Him in the hard! Stay tuned for more faith-filled episodes that are real and honest where we’ll dive into God’s Word, have guest speakers, share testimonies, and more.

Trusting God When You’re Running on Empty

Hi! Welcome back to the Scrubbed In & Spirit Led podcast! We are a chapter of Nurses Christian Fellowship based in Rapid City, SD. Our mission is to encourage, equip, and empower nursing and pre-nursing students to be God’s light in the nursing field. In this week’s episode, your co-hosts, Kirsten and Mackenna, talk about the importance of our faith and trust in Jesus Christ. As our Lord and Savior, Jesus is in our hearts and in all trials that come our way. Nursing school (and life) can be SO hard, but God is above all! He is a loving, kind, and faithful God. Tune in to this episode to hear how the Lord has worked through Mackenna and Kirsten’s lives and how to lean on Him in trying times. Our hope and prayer for this episode is that you will be encouraged, feel seen, and know without a doubt that Jesus is a good Father. Your hard work for the Lord is not in vain, and the Lord will reward you for choosing Him in the hard times. Jesus loves you so incredibly much and will give you peace and strength when you ask Him for it. As 2 Corinthians 5:6-7 NIV says, “Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. For we live by faith, not by sight.” Stay tuned for more faith-filled episodes that are real and honest where we’ll dive into God’s Word, have guest speakers, share testimonies, and more.

Find Your People: Community in Nursing School

Hi! Welcome back to the Scrubbed In & Spirit Led podcast! We are a chapter of Nurses Christian Fellowship based in Rapid City, SD. Our mission is to encourage, equip, and empower nursing and pre-nursing students to be God’s light in the nursing field.   In this week’s episode, your co-hosts, Kirsten and Mackenna, welcome a special guest! They interview NCF Rapid City’s very own faculty advisor, Amanda Mehlhaff – a lover of Jesus, mom, wife, educator, and friend. Together, they discuss the importance of community, especially in nursing school.   Tune in to hear from a nursing educator herself about just how vital community is. From a faculty perspective, Amanda has seen students flourish when they have a sense of belonging and life outside of nursing school. She has also witnessed the devastating effects when students become isolated and develop “tunnel vision" during nursing school. This podcast is great for anyone at any stage of life, especially if you’re struggling to find community and want to get plugged in. Listen as these three offer advice and personal insight on how a Christ-centered community has gotten them through the craziness of life. After all, God never intended for us to do life alone – He intended for us to be surrounded by one another so we could all lead each other closer to Him.  Hebrews 10:24-25 NLT says, “Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.”  Stay tuned for more faith-filled episodes that are real and honest where we’ll dive into God’s Word, have guest speakers, share testimonies, and more.   Follow on Instagram @ncfrapidcity and Facebook at Nurses Christian Fellowship – Rapid City.
