A Time To Refrain From Embracing

A Time For The Fear of the Lord To Return To The Church

A TIME FOR THE FEAR OF THE LORD TO RETURN TO THE CHURCH Julie Roys, an investigative journalist and founder of The Roys Report, had shared at one of her conferences, "Why air the church's dirty laundry?" That's a question for us all. May the fear of the Lord return to the church. Follow @atimetosowpodcast on IG

A Time For Judgment To Begin In The House Of God

There is a time and season for everything under the sun. As Peter said, "It is time for judgment to begin in the house of God". For years things have been swept under the rug in many churches. There have been detrimental effects from those who have caused harm to God's sheep, and their cries have reached God's ears. God is merciful and compassionate, slow to anger, and abounding in love. But after repeated warnings, that are not heeded, judgment is surely standing at the door. I have been avoiding these topics, but I would be in rebellion if I continued to stay silent, when he's asked me to speak. May we all remember the fear of the LORD.

A Time To Heal

There is a time and season for everything. After a painful time of spiritual abuse, betrayals, walking away from things that I loved, and a long season of isolation, God started lifting up the rug in my own life. As I started addressing the root causes of many of my issues, it finally became "a time to heal". We don't have to stay in a place of hurt and pain. After Peter was sifted like wheat, Jesus told him to go back and strengthen the brethren. Use your story, your pain, and your trials as an opportunity to help others heal too.

A Time To Uproot

Ecclesiastes says there is "a time to plant, and A TIME TO UPROOT". In this episode we shine a light on some of the issues that we experienced within a particular church setting. We share some of the hardships and effects of sitting under what I later recognized as spiritual abuse. At one time we had been "planted" but after all that I had experienced, we could no longer stay, and had no choice but to "uproot" and leave. While it is difficult to share some of these experiences, and our intentions are not to attack or air grievances, we share because we know that it will help free those who have gone through these same kinds of experiences - as others stories I heard through the aftermath helped free me. Jesus said, "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

A Time To Refrain From Embracing

"A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing." Ecclesiastes 3:5 In this episode we get honest about our history and experiences in the "church". We are lifting up a rock off the forest floor to peer underneath and examine the good, the bad, and the ugly. It's been a wild ride, and one that caused us to "refrain from embracing".
