Deeper WatersDeeper WatersEpisode 10 - RestDo you feel guilty every time you try to rest? Do you feel validated only when you work? In this episode, we're going to be talking about rest from God's perspective. I'll give you the truth about rest, how to know you need to rest, and give you some ideas of ways you can rest. No more guilt, no more validation from work but a true perspective on what God truly desires for us when it comes to rest.

It was such a revelation to me because despite Philippians 4:6 existing, I hardly prayed about the thing that I was anxious about. So, in my anxiety and fear I was choosing not to have faith and trust God. God made me realize that part of letting go is simply telling God about your worry. Through this episode, I hope you can learn how to let go of your worry, place it in God's hands...2022-10-1411 minDeeper WatersDeeper WatersEpisode 8 - ComparisonHave you ever thought to yourself "I wish I was just like him/her"? If you have then this is the perfect episode for you. Comparison can be crippling and it can put you inside a tiny box of possibilities. God doesn't want you to give up before you even start because you believe someone else is better, He wants you to free yourself from that mentality so you can discover who He purposed for you to be and it definitely isn't being someone that has absolutely no confidence in themselves or God. Listen to find out how you...2022-10-0712 minDeeper WatersDeeper WatersEpisode 7 - Finding Your PurposeDo you know what your purpose and calling is? If not, then this episode is what you need.

No? Well, let me be the first to tell you that He is a promise keeper. I know we can start to lose hope that God will fulfill His promises when it's taking "too long," (in reality there is no such thing as too long, God's timing is always perfect) or your situation makes it seems like it would be impossible for God to come through but don't lose hope. The enemy wants to get you to a point where you don't have fai...2022-09-0910 minDeeper WatersDeeper WatersEpisode 5 - Young Person, Get Up!Your existence is not an accident. You were created for a reason and don't let anybody tell you any different. In this episode, we will be talking about what the Bible says about young people and it's not for them to sit back and watch adults share the gospel, it's for them to get up and share the gospel. We'll be talking about some great role models to look up to, where to start, and why you shouldn't let fear or lack of expertise in certain areas stop you, as a young person, from glorifying God. We've all got...2022-09-0213 minDeeper WatersDeeper WatersEpisode 4 - Seasons In this episode, we will be talking about the different seasons in our lives and how to know which season your are currently in to better navigate this moment in your life. "I'm confident as seasons change, your faithfulness remains." - You Hold It All Together by Maverick city. This one line in this beautiful song is a reminder that though we may go through different seasons, good and bad, God remains the same.

God can become the one being we love more than anything in this world, not only because we are commanded to but because we truly desire to. It takes time. Just like we spend a lot of time developing a romantic relationship or a friendship with someone, we need to spend time developing a beautiful and loving relationship with God. But how do we do that?

There are things that God has done for you in the past such as promises that He kept, comfort and peace that He gave us in the midst of struggles and pain, and so much more. Let's take a moment to look back and thank God for all that He has done and draw strength from it to have hope for the future and thank God for the growth because honestly, you're not the...2022-08-1213 minDeeper WatersDeeper WatersEpisode 1 - The Gospel Of Jesus ChristWelcome to the very first episode of the Deeper Waters podcast. Before we get into any other topic that we could discuss, I wanted the first episode to be about Jesus Christ, the main reason for this podcast. It's not so easy to listen to and understand messages about someone you hardly know so this episode introduces you to Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. 2022-08-0510 min
