S 2, Episode #10 •|Observing Lent|•

This is a description of some history behind the period of time called lent. For forty days leading up to Easter, we as Christians observe a time of fasting and praying to become closer to God, growing in our reverence toward Him and the ultimate sacrifice he gave by dying on the cross for our sins, and raising again in order for us to enter into a relationship with our heavenly father God. Both now, and forever in eternity. One of the resources I pulled some of my information from : https://groundworkonline.com/blog/a-short-version-of-the-long-history-of-lent
The scriptures I reference:
Matt 6:16-18
Joel 2:12
Ezra 8:23
Acts 13:2
Here are a few resources that can assist you in observing lent, offering guidance and encouragement:

S 2, Episode # 9 •| Biblical hope vs Wishful hope|•

Often we have high hopes for what we expect God to provide, and a detailed list of what we see as being "blessed".
Recently I've been reading this amazing book my friend Theresa gifted me, The Night is Normal. and it is SO GOOD.
The Night is Normal The author (Alicia Britt Chole) unpacks what it truly means to be hopeful, biblically hopeful. As opposed to having wishful hope.
The difference could mean a lack of peace, staying stuck, and sometimes feeling not spiritual enough, or not loved enough by God when we don't get what we wish for.
Having biblical hope is not for the faint of heart, but provides a deeper sense of hope than wishful hope ever could. Will you join me for this discussion?
Grab a hot drink, and pull up a chair (or a set of headphones lol). let's dive in!

S2, Episode # 8 •|Testimony of God’s power!|•

This episode shares parts of my testimony of transformation.
I share how God's power changed my life. It transformed my heart, my daily priorities, and helped me move away from self-destructive behaviors.
My prayer is that this encourages someone who needs God's power to change them, or an area of your life.
It may not look the same for you, as it did for me - but don't miss the main idea - God's power is real, available, and relevant today. Turn to Him, and He will lead you in the unforgettable journey of experiencing His power, in small and big ways!

S2, Episode #7 •| When struggling with discouragement or depression, try this!|•

Hello! I hope this episode encourages and challenges you, right in the middle of the valley you're facing. If you would like some guidance in finding a Mental Health Counselor, or someone to talk to through the difficulties you are facing, please don't hesitate to reach out: lifecoachingwithmb@gmail.com be well, and thanks for listening!
PS sometimes depression can be improved by taking vitamins (in part!)
I am not a doctor, and these are never recommended to be taken in replacement of antidepressants, etc. But research shows, vitamin deficiencies can cause issues like low energy, mild anxiety and depression, and other symptoms. Here is a link to the vitamins I've been taking: https://amzn.to/3EEvOYQ

Hope this helps someone!

S2,|•Moment of Mercy w/MB: Replacing lies with the truth•|

Welcome to this moment of Mercy I'm so glad you're here!
Today I'm going to be sharing a short message on how merciful God is to give us His Word and encourage us in the day-to-day life (especially with the goal of renewing our minds, and replacing lies with the truth).
The scriptures I reference are as follows:
Isaiah 55:8-9
Colossians 3:12
Luke 12 6 - 7
Ephesians 1:4-7
Psalm 103:12
1 Peter 2:9
Luke 4:18 - 19
Psalm 91:4
Hebrews 13:20-22
I hope this moment of Mercy has been an encouragement to you!
If you're interested in recording a moment of Mercy to share on the podcast, please reach out to me at: lifecoachingwithmb@gmail.com or find me on Whatsapp and message me there, and we'll begin to plan for it! 
 
Thanks for listening ☺️ 🎧 

S2, Episode # 6 |•Singleness Series•| Encouragement through the heartache

Welcome back to my Singleness Series!
This is an episode to encourage you (single person!), that the heartache you may be going thru, will eventually go thru, or are struggling to heal from, is not without purpose. It may be painful, feel impossible, and even may have been avoided. I believe God is using it, and we can see beautiful results when we intentionally lean into His loving arms thru the valleys we find ourselves in.
As opposed to resisting, staying angry, and stewing in a place of negativity (don't get me wrong there's a time and place for grief, anger, and All the emotions! We just don't want to set up shop at that stage in our journey forever, Amen?)
I've had my fair share of romantic pain, hesitation in getting close, having a bad "picker", and basically a string of relationships that didn't work out.
Maybe you can relate?
Instead of looking at it all as one big failure, or painful mess, what if we asked God to use it all to help us heal and become more whole with His supernatural assistance?!
That is my prayer for you - that you would become healed and whole as you walk thru whatever state of dating, healing from past hurts, or being challenged to step out into a deeper level of commitment with your partner; Wherever you may find yourself in during this current season.
Pull up a chair, or your set of headphones and take a listen!
