Welcome back to Confidently She! Do you ever wonder if you're growing spiritually? Yes, maybe you're consistent with spiritual disciplines, but how do you tell if there's real growth in your heart? Proverbs says out of the heart the mouth speaks. Your actions will give you direct indications of your spiritual growth. I put together a list of 11 ways I noticed my behavior, mindset, and speech change once I truly started walking with the Lord. You can use these as indicators of your own growth - plus, look out for these characteristics when you're choosing friendships. The character of your friends quickly becomes the character of your own. Remember you can join the discussion on Substack https://open.substack.com/pub/rebekahbuege

Welcome back! Sometimes Christians forget that America is not a Christian nation. It's a nation of religious freedom, which means freedom from religion as well as the right to practice individual religions. This means, as Christians, we should never be shocked or offended when political agendas don't align with our values. It's a presidential election year in the United States, which means the republican party will attempt to harness the religious voting block regardless of their candidate's personal beliefs and values. This episode serves as a reminder, a warning, and an encouragement to prioritize unity over uniformity. Our ultimate aim is not to influence American politics, it's to live in holiness as salt + light to the world, visible through our love. Listen for an honest reality check for what is most important in the midst of an election year.

Welcome back to Confidently She! This episode is a response to 1 Thessalonians where Christians are called to live a quiet life. It feels like this goes directly against much of the themes I see at Christian conferences in America. What does it really look like to live quietly? How are we supposed to impact people when we live quietly in a world that's getting louder and louder each year? I have some thoughts and I hope it helps encourage you.

Welcome back to season five of Confidently She. In this episode, I'm walking you through the mindset of enjoyment and why it's important in my walk with God. The gifts God gives are meant to be enjoyed to the fullest. God is not stingy with his gifts. He is not withholding, even though it feels that way to us sometimes. Remember that God is a father and there's nothing parents enjoy more than seeing their child enjoy the gifts they give them. So I'm sharing the 3 necessary shifts I made to fully enjoy gifts from God. I hope you enjoy!

You hear a lot about self-love in recent years, but it's easy for this topic to start sounding a lot like self indulgence or vanity. However, don't think that it's not part of holy living in God's kingdom.

Are you in a season of spiritual growth, pruning, or correction? The reality is, it's a painful process. In a culture where comfort and pleasure are prioritized, anything that hurts can be misinterpreted as cruelty. In this episode, we're talking about the goodness of correction and how even though things may be painful or uncomfortable, it's for our ultimate good.

Have you ever wondered what God's plan is for your life? This concept is thrown around a lot in Christian culture, but what does the Bible actually say about it? This gave me anxiety at first because I was afraid I would miss the plan, go off the plan, misunderstand the plan, and ultimately not live the life God had planned for me - which scared me! If you're feeling this way, feeling lost, or just want to understand what this means, listen to the episode to kick off season 5 of Confidently She! Want more episodes from Season 5 right now?
