Learning to Be Loved, Learning to Love

What if, at the end of your life, you were What if, at the end of your life, you were asked one question: Did you learn to love? In this episode, we explore Jesus’ words in Matthew 22:37–39 and how everything in our faith hinges on love. Through scripture, personal testimony, and powerful stories, we reflect on what it truly means to love God and others—not just in what we do, but in who we become. This is also a vulnerable journey of healing—breaking free from lies of not being enough and discovering what it means to be fully known and deeply loved by God. We’ll close with a guided encounter (starts min 16), inviting you to experience His love personally and see yourself the way He sees you. If you’ve ever wrestled with worth or belonging, this episode is for you. You are loved. You are chosen. You are His.

Asking God For A Word 2026!

As we step into a new year, this is a gentle invitation to pause, be still, and listen for what the Lord wants to speak over your year. 💛 In this short message, I share why asking God for a “word for the year” can bring clarity, hope, and focus—and how simple it can be to listen. May you feel encouraged, loved, and confirmed as you take time with Him. Blessings to you as you begin this year with the Lord.

Testimony Update from Day 30: When Obedience Meets God’s Perfect Timing

When God Says “Move”: A Testimony of Obedience and Perfect Timing In Day 30 of this journey, I shared how the Lord asked our family to place our home on the market—not immediately, but in early fall. It was an invitation to trust Him with timing, provision, and obedience before we could see the outcome. Today, I’m sharing the update. In under30 days, our home was under contract. And in the coming weeks, we’ll be physically moving—just as He said. This episode is a testimony of God’s faithfulness when we respond with obedience. Not rushed. Not forced. Simply listening, trusting, and saying yes when He asks. God is faithful to complete what He begins, and He honors surrendered steps taken in trust. If God has asked you to obey Him in something that feels uncertain—this testimony is for you. Let it encourage you to trust His voice, His timing, and His faithfulness over your fear. 📖 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take.” — Proverbs 3:5–6 ✨ Encounter Tribe is a space for real faith, honest obedience, and walking with God in everyday life. #encountertribe #fastingfear #godspeakstoyou #spiritualgrowth #faithoverfear #love #christianpodcast #prayer #fastingandfaith #faithjourney

Day 99 – When God Confronts Our False Beliefs With Love & Freedom

On Day 99 of 100 Days Fasting Fear, I open up about a deeply personal journey I’ve been walking through—one I didn’t even realize was keeping me bound. For months, I had a strong resistance to a certain area we were considering moving to. I didn’t like it, didn’t want it, and shut the door in my heart before I ever asked God about it. But the Lord, in His kindness, began to confront the false beliefs, lies, and trapped emotions that were shaping my “no.” Through community, prayer, and conversation, God started highlighting that my resistance wasn’t about the location at all—it was about what was happening inside of me. This week, I felt the Holy Spirit invite me to take a drive to that area—not to decide anything, but simply to face what was living in my heart. As I drove, God gently unraveled the lies that had been holding me in fear and showed me the freedom He wanted me to step into. Whether we move there or not, He wanted to heal what was hindering me from receiving His direction with an open, surrendered heart. Today I share how God used community, honesty, and His love to realign my heart and confront my false beliefs with freedom. If you’re wrestling with resistance, fear of change, or emotions you can’t explain, this episode will speak to you. God’s love confronts not to shame us, but to free us. And I’m so grateful He doesn’t leave us stuck. Let’s keep surrendering together. One more day to go. 💛 —Colette / Encounter Tribe

🌿 Day 98 – The Father’s Voice in the Word

Today I share something tender that happened while a friend read Scripture to me. I found myself trying too hard to thinkabout what God was saying—stuck in my head, analyzing, instead of simply receiving. In that moment, Father God gave me an image: He invited me to climb onto His lap while He read the Scripture to me. I could feel His excitement, His love, and His joy in every word. The passage came alive—not just in my mind, but in my heart. This is my encouragement for you today: when you listen to the Word, invite Holy Spirit to engage your heart imagination. Let Him show you His tone, His expression, His delight as He speaks through Scripture. The Word isn’t just meant to be studied—it’s meant to be experienced. 📖 “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” – Psalm 119:105 ✨ Try it today—listen with your heart, not just your head. #EncounterTribe #FastingFear #Day98 #GodsWordAlive #IntimacyWithGod #FaithJourney #100DaysFastingFear
