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!

There are times in our lives when the truth just doesn't feel true. Have you ever been there? You know the truth, you've heard the truth and you even believe the truth... but it still doesn't feel true. It's such a hard mental battle to be in, but it's a battle that can be won!
This week's guest knows all about this battle, especially as she walked the hard road of living with an eating disorder for many years....
We have a couple options when it comes to sharing our story. We can keep it inside or we can tell others about how God has saved us. Our testimonies change other people's lives whether we believe it or not. It says in scripture that "they will know us by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony." (Rev 12:11). We need to be brave enough to share what God has done in our lives because on the other side of o...
There are conversations that feel too taboo to talk about and for some reason disabilities seem to be one of those. We are going to take that away this week as we chat with one of the most influential women I know, who happens to also be disabled.
Nadia Mossburg a disability rights advocate, former Senior Policy Adviser at the U.S. Department of Labor and a woman who has lived with cerebral palsy for 56 years. ...
Have you ever wondered how your yes to the Lord could make any kind of big impact on others? Maybe you've disqualified yourself by thinking you couldn't do anything big for God. That's just not true. God has something specific for each and every one of us when it comes to kingdom impact. Your yes to God matters for more than just you, it matters for others! There are people on the other side of your obedience waitin...
We all experience tragic circumstances in our lives. When you're in the middle of that, it's hard to see where God is or feel him near. Those of us who are sons and daughters of the One True God can hold on to the hope of the cross, but that doesn't make the hurt go away. How do we get through it or help others through that?
This week we see just that in the story told by Novelist Johanna Rojas Vann. Where Wilt...
There are times in our lives, probably more than we wish to admit where God doesn't feel as close as he once did. We look around and wonder what off ramp we exited on, because he feels like he's no where in sight. It can be hard to know what to do when you can't feel God's presence. I have been there and it's an incredibly hard place to be.
My wonderful friend Monika has been there too. That's why she wrote her...
Have you ever prayed for something just to receive the answer and think, "what on earth was I thinking??" Sometimes living in God's yes is harder than we expect. What do we do with these mixed emotions that no one seems to be able to help us sort through?

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.
Rick Altizer directed the Kendrick Brothers&rsq...
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 ...
