Many of our sins and bad habits often stem from our hearts. The selfish and stubborn thoughts, actions, and behaviors are a result of being in the world.

"I am a failure" "I am not *blank* enough" "It is all my fault" Above are just a few examples of the kind of negative thoughts and perspectives that we may believe as the truth. However, through scripture, we know that these types of thoughts are not from God or our own. In today's episode, I cover the ways that the enemy likes to sneak in and send spiritual attacks through our thoughts and minds. I also cover a few ways that we can begin to guard our minds. To create a type of filtration system in order to not accept every thought as the truth.  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joyfullheartt/    Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/crysstalc21/

On June 24th, the Supreme Court of the United States overturned the ruling on Roe v. Wade. Meaning that abortions are no longer a federal constitutional right, leaving the terms of legality up to each state. Statistics show that 26 of the 50th states are expected to make abortions illegal within the next thirty days. So with this in mind, should Christians respond to this situation and get involved? In today's episode, I cover and answer this question.  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joyfullheartt/   Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/crysstalc21/

A popular phrase within the church is to "surrender to God." But, have you ever wondered, what does it actually mean to surrender or submit to the will of God. Outside sources may make it seem as if this is an oppressive idea or process. This is why I feel it is necessary for us to seek the word of God to find out what it actually means. Our world is constantly changing in all aspects. Which can lead to a lot of confusion when we desperately try to keep up with it. Thankfully, the word of God is active and consistent. So in times like these, we can use it to truly understand what it means to surrender to God.

Where should Christians stand in regards to environmental issues or climate change? And what does the Bible say, if anything? In today's episode, I cover the relationship between Christianity and the environment. It seems, as always, the world is pretty divided on the topic of climate change and global warming. But where should we as believers stand? As always, scriptures are included to study the word of God.

A popular parable in the Bible is the lesson of a mustard seed. In this parable, we see that faith the size of a mustard seed could command a mountain to move or a tree to uproot. Essentially, the smallest amount of faith in the Lord can do the most extraordinary things. But, the question is, how do we hold onto these seeds of faith? During the troublesome or distant seasons, we often struggle to have faith in the Lord. In today's episode, I cover ways that we can hold onto seeds of faith in our lives.  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joyfullheartt/            Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/crysstalc21/

We know that God should be the number one priority in our lives. Our relationship should be held above everything else. But how can we prioritize our time and relationship with God every single day?
