Confidence in Christ
Welcome to the Confidence in Christ podcast. I’m Kala and I’m here to offer you the opportunity to grow in your confidence of the Lord. Through interviews with friends, simple and practical scripture application to your life and some good old fashion tough love at times, you will be more equipped to have an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ after hanging out here with us. I’m a woman just like you, who loves the Lord with all my heart and is doing my best to follow his will for my life. Meeting you here weekly and passing on the knowledge he has given me is part of what that looks like. I’m so honored that you’re here and I can’t wait to help you get to know God in new and exciting ways!

I had the opportunity to talk to one of the women who was in the film, Rachelle Star, the founder of Scarlet Hope. That was the ministry highlighted in the film. Rachelle's story of obedience to reach those who others overlook is absolutely inspiring!
Rachelle Starr is first and foremost a lover of Jesus. In 2007, Rachelle founded the nonprofit, Scarlet Hope, when God called her to share His hope and love with ...
We are starting off the season by talking with the Director and creator of the outstanding film, He Calls Me Daughter. Rick was one of my favorite interviews of the entire season. His enthusiasm is contagious and the film God commissioned him to create changed my life. I don't just say that because he's on the podcast, I tell you that because it is 100% the truth.

Happy last episode of Season 8 of the podcast!!
This week we get a behind the scenes look at why Christian Fiction novels make such an impact on our lives and why it's important to read them. Don't get me wrong I love non-fiction books and own a lot, but there is something special about fiction that meets us in new ways! Robin talks all about it today!

The title of this week's episode is applicable to every trial we face in life. If it's not good, God's not done yet. Is that just the truth? I can't count how many times I have felt hopeless while looking at a situation I'm facing just to look back 6 months or a year later to go, wow... look at what God has done!
Danae testifies to that and I'm so grateful she was willing to come on the podcast and share with u...
Have you ever been having one of those days where things just don't seem like they will get better but then all of a sudden God intervenes with a story? You know, a story of someone who has seen the goodness of God and is testifying about it?
Mark is an expert at helping us hear these testimonies through the work that he does with God Reports!

Change can be hard. Not just the things that are different but the hard part of trusting God in the midst of it, especially when things don't seem to make sense. Maybe it's a job loss, a death in the family, a relationship shift or a painful betrayal... or maybe it's something else entirely that you're facing that makes focusing on Christ feel difficult. No matter the situation, keeping our eyes on Jesus is key.&nbs...
I don't know about you but I struggle with lies and the battle in my mind a lot. There are times when the enemy is so sneaky that I don't even recognize the lie... have you been there too? This week we are breaking up and ending our unhealthy relationship with lies and we are dismantling them once and for all.
That is where our wonderful guest Gary Thomas steps in. You may have heard of him but have you heard o...
Parenting is hard. Let's face it, we've all thought at one point or another that we have done so much harm to our kids that we have ruined them. Things seem so impossible and feel too far gone to heal, redeem or fix. But that's just not the truth friend. That is exactly why this years Mother's Day episode is with Abbey Wedgeworth. She wrote a book called Help, I'm Ruining My Kids!: A Gospel Guide for the Mom Who's D...
Do you struggle with fear? It doesn't have to be a crippling fear, but maybe it is. I have fears that seem to have been around my entire life and I've had some that are fleeting or seasonal. But fear is something we deal with here earth side. So what do we do about it? How do we handle fear in a Biblical way? And does God just want us to manage that fear so we can function or is there a deeper healing and freedom th...
Maybe you've heard this episode before and maybe you haven't but either way we need a reminder that we can trust God's faithfulness even in the unseen and unknown things of our life. This is a rerelease of an episode from season 5 of the podcast. It's the most listened to episode in the history of the podcast so I think it's one worth sharing again.

This week we are talking about a topic that I am PASSIONATE about!! Studying the Bible!! You all know how much I love studying the Bible and how important it is for each of us to be doing that. I know it can be scary and feel complicated but I'm here to tell you that it doesn't have to be! Reading scripture was never meant to be hard. We humans tend to overcomplicate it and it's time we put an end to that.

There are some topics people avoid. Sometimes it's because those topics are hard to navigate, sometimes it's because they aren't sure how to respond and other times it's because they don't want to go there. My guest this week doesn't shy away from the hard conversations and wants to help others in them when it comes to the area of addiction recovery.

I know... I'm just as surprised as you are about this week's episode. A solo episode... what?? Those don't happen very often so when they do, I stop and pause extra long to hear what God has for them. This time the Holy Spirit led me down a path that I never recognized before that makes total sense now!
If you have Jesus as your personal savior and you accepted the free gift of salvation then you know that the ...
Hearing God is one thing, listening & obeying is a whole other step of faith. You and I know that but sometimes it's hard to do. Obedience in action takes trust, faith and deep relationship with the one asking us to do something. God is the only one we can trust in this way, knowing that he always has our best in mind. It was such a joy to invite Bill onto the podcast this week and have him share how he's walkin...
This week we get to hear the testimony of a long time listener of the podcast, Tracy Duckett! It is such a full circle moment to invite those who listen to the encouragement of this podcast to share what God is doing in your lives! (ps... if you're interested in sharing your testimony please respond to this email!)
Tracy's story is one of redemption, discovering purpose and finding true identity in Christ. Long haul ...
When we talk about walking by faith and not by sight most of the time we are being figurative in our meaning. Not this week!! I had the blessed opportunity to talk with Chad Roberts and his lovely wife Sadie about their testimony of when Chad lost his sight in his mid-20's. Imagine going from being able to see, to absolutely nothing. What would that do to your faith? What would that do to your relationship with Chri...
As Christ followers who want to be more serious in our relationship with Jesus we hear a lot about being a disciple of Jesus. We hear so much in church about "making disciples" and "being disciples" but what does it actually mean? How do we do this practically in our every day life?
To help us understand this better I invited Roger Ross on this week to walk us through some simple yet super effective ways to go ...
Let's talk about when God feels silent. In today's world we would say God has "ghosted" us aka... gone silent. It can totally feel like that at times. Things get hard, situations feel impossible and now all of a sudden God feels like he's stopped speaking completely. What's up with that? How do we handle that?
My new friend Autumn wrote a book about it and I am so excited to tell you about it because it's packe...
What is it about the hard questions in life that make us sink back and avoid them? Is it the awkwardness? The unknown? The not fully understanding the topic? It could be any number of these things or others but what we are asking this week on the podcast is, why not talk about it?
That's why the wonderful and talented Kendall Mariah wrote this book on this very topic. She isn't afraid to go to those hard topics...
Happy Valentines week! I pray you are feeling loved by those around you but especially by God. I know valentines can be a hard season for some and that's why this week we are focusing on a love that never fails, never leaves us and that redeemed us.
You're going to love this conversation with Stephanie because we go into more detail about Ruth, her story and how we see God's love all throughout it! Let me intro...
