What's the difference between living and thriving? GROWTH. In this episode, Natillie compares the spiritual growth we are to experience to the growth of a healthy houseplant. Stick with us here; it's not that weird of an analogy. Grab your houseplants, Bible, and notebooks and get ready for another episode of Wake Up and Grow. 

You all have been so patiently waiting for this episode to come out, so thank you! Today's episode is special in that it lands on and before a couple important Christian holidays; Good Friday and Easter. While Easter is the celebration of Jesus' resurrection, Good Friday is often seen as the day He died and was crucified. Natillie would like to read to you the crucifixion of Jesus.

Have you ever wondered why God would choose to use us, as flawed and broken humans, to carry His Word to the lost? Same! Natillie takes a look at 2 Corinthians 4:7 and finds out why God would bother to put His treasure in jars of clay instead of a treasure chest.

Have you ever been given an opportunity that you really didn't want in the first place? Or have you wanted and opportunity and never gotten it? When God presents us with opportunities, we refer to it as "opening doors". Some doors seem to open and then shut, or are locked and never open at all, even when we put some muscle into it. Why is that? Natillie looks through the Bible and shares what it means to be faced with doors that God has either opened or closed and what is the best thing to do in those situations.

Do you ever think that your past is too messy and full of sin for God to forgive? If you find yourself asking that question, then listen in as Natillie dives into the life of Saul or Paul the Apostle.

Are you afraid of something? For Natillie it's spiders. EW! But it seems as if Christians, particularly in America, are afraid of sharing the Gospel. Why is that? In this episode, Natillie looks into the instances in which fear tends to overshadow our faith when it comes to sharing the Gospel.

With February coming, that means people are going to be getting ready for Valentien's day (ew). So, Natillie decides to take a dive into our society's perspective and definition of love and comparing it to what Christians think of when they think of love, boiling it down to essentially romantic love vs agape love. 

With the new year of 2021 upon us, Natillie invites you to the challenge of discipleship. But first, let's figure out what discipleship is and what it look like. You have a greater impact on the people around you than you realize.

Last episode Natillie explored the Christmas story. This episode she looks at the reason for Christ's coming and birth and the gifts that He brought to earth with Him.

This month, Natillie is going to dive into the Christmas story we all know; the birth of Jesus Christ. This episode takes a look at how God's promises are always kept and how the beginning of the life of our Saviour has an impact on those who played a part in His coming. Join back in two weeks for part two!
