Closet Confessions with Christina: Real, Raw & Relatable

If you're anything like me, you've always been intimated to try to read thru the Bible. I've always thought of it as overwhelming or too hard to understand, so why even start? But my goodness, how wrong I was! It's alive & better than any spicy novel! But more important than the characters, is the MAIN character! God! The Bible shows us who GOD really is.... compassionate, patient, merciful, mighty, gracious.... so many things! The...

This is something that I don't study or think about enough. But for the past 2 weeks, it's been so heavy on my heart to do a deep dive into Ephesians 6: 10-17 passage.

Spiritual warfare is so real but God's been so good to us to give us the weapons we need for this lifetime. And we don't fight FOR victory, we fight FROM victory! From Jesus Christ's victory on the cross! He's already won the war... but while we're here, the battle s...

I'm guilty as well of thinking I have to wait until Jan 1st to make changes! I get excited about "new" things. New opportunities, new cars, new houses, new years.... all the "news". But In Christ, that's every day! And we take it for granted. At least I know I do! But I want to focus on every day being a NEW day with Him. A NEW opportunity for showing love or growing in my walk with Jesus or for Him to perform a Miracle in my life!...

I've started at the beginning of the Bible and I'm loving it so far. I've never read the Old Testament.  God's character is shown so much right off the bat!!! And so are humans! Haha!! So many times, we make decisions based from Fear. Irrational, emotional decisions that end up NOT being the wisest! That's the stories we're going to talk about in today's episode. My prayer is it brings enlightenment to you and how you make decision...

I always get asked... How do you hear from God?? It's not that hard actually.  I believe He WANTS us to hear from Him. He is a personal, living God that loves us very deeply. Don't you want to talk to YOUR children? I believe it's the same way with Him. His Word, thru people, thru that still small voice... there are lots of ways. 

But there are also things that hinder us from hearing from Him, I believe. Bitterness, unforgiveness...

I had planned a different podcast today. I've been studying Judas for 2 weeks because of a post going around on Social Media. Something like... Being a Christian is not loving Jesus, it's loving Judas. At first, I was like AMEN! But then I got to really thinking. I have a "Judas" in my life right now. And I'm going to tell you.... It's HARD to show love to that person. It's hard to act like everything is fine around them. It's hard...

We always searching. Always looking. Always wanting.... that high. But really what we are looking for is Fulfillment. But there's a hole that was created by the Creator Himself that can only be filled by Him. We try in all different kinds of ways. Like jobs, children, spouses, success, looks, body image, alcohol... the list goes on and on. Let's talk about it and what we can do to stay focused on the One true thing that can truly f...

Whoa this one was hard. Will I be judged for my admission of being addicted to vaping? Will I fail & fall back into the addition after telling everyone I'm quitting? Will this episode come across as legalistic & goody goody?  Well, we're just going to leave it in God's hands.  

Alcohol, nicotine, drugs..... why are these the main things we think of when someone says they're addicted to something??  What about our phones, social m...
