This week's sit down is with my sweet friend Alysha Miller. She's a California girl, Host of the Marriage Project Podcast, wedding photographer, and writer who most importantly loves God and has a deep reverence for His word. Your heart will be encouraged and equipped with His truth as you listen to us talk about what God is doing in our lives, what He's teaching us, and my favorite part how we're knowing Him more deeply.
What has God been teaching you in 2020?
- One thing God has been teaching me is He has been and always will be in control. I can’t plan anything that would supersede His.
- He is our strong-tower. The name of the Lord is Strong tower. What a picture that we get to cling to.
- He is safety - He is God almighty.
- God is not a God of confusion.
How have you felt spiritually this season?
- And I’ve seen Him spiritually renew me as I’ve been obedient in prayer with Him.
- When my phone was in my hand I felt Him saying to my heart you have a piece of the armor down.
- Search me God and know me. Give me clean hands and a pure heart.
How do you know The Lord more deeply?
- I’m more in the rhythm of God than the rhythm of the world.
- This whole thing has caused me to pause and lean into what He's doing.
What part of scripture would you share with someone if you knew you'd never see them again?
Romans 6
- 6 What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2 By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? 3 Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. 5 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his. 6 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin— 7 because anyone who has died has been set free from sin. 8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. 9 For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. 10 The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. 11 In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. 12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. 13 Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. 14 For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace. 15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? By no means! 16 Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey—whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? 17 But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching that has now claimed your allegiance. 18 You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness. 19 I am using an example from everyday life because of your human limitations. Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves as slaves to righteousness leading to holiness. 20 When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness. 21 What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death! 22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Where can everyone find you!
