It seems like the word love at times doesn't have the power or intention that it once had. But when we think that we are loved by the God of the universe - chosen and set apart to be the receiver of this amazing love - that's a bigger love than our favorite food. I pray this encourages you to receive the fullness of love the God of the Universe who sent his Son for you to know that you are loved.
What does it mean to be set apart? We've heard I Peter 1:16 - be holy as I am holy. It seems daunting..... but when I think about this - I realize I am set apart for something intentional.....and it is reflect Jesus. You are set apart - for a purpose, when a purpose and on purpose....Jesus has set you apart to be His :)
Being a child.....at some point we were all one. When we were a child - we were given the name and appearance of our parents. As an adopted child, while we may not look like our earthly parents, we may take on their personality or likeness. We are going to borrow Ephesians 1:4 again - before the foundations of the world, God chosen us to be his. Since he is our Heavenly Father (if you know Jesus as your Savior), then you are a Child of God. We bear his likeness...
It's crazy to think that before the beginning of the world, we were chosen by God to be on this earth and this time. Ephesians 1:4 TPT and in love HE chose us before HE laid the foundation of the universe! WHAT? That's crazy - when we realize and declare and truly understand / believe that God CHOSEN US before he made the world.....it begins to change our perspective. I am chosen, I am selected on purpose with a purpose for a purpose.
Recently I've been thinking about "who I am"? Am I really defined by my career? My marital status? My family? Where I grew up? In talking with friends, I find that these questions are not only mine. I was at a leadership conference earlier this year and was reminded that what I "say" impacts who I am. Proverbs 18:21 says life and death are in the power of the tongue..... Would you say to someone else what you say about yourself? Probably not.....
The Art of Comparison

The Art of Comparison

2025-06-1540:56

Like so many, we compare ourselves....to others, things, expectations, etc. In the gallery of our lives, we may have displayed art work that should probably be taken down and put in the trash...we were placed on this earth at this time with a purpose, on purpose and for a purpose.... the thief comes to steal, kill and destroy. But there is one who knows every day before one came to be..God and He love you just the way you are. Time to hang some new artwork..... Hope you enjoy
You've likely heard the saying, when Life gives you Lemons, Make Lemonade. The thought came to me....that means we are going to get squeezed. In today's episode we'll talk about making Lemonade in our lives. Lemons - the situations and potentially challenges. Squeezing - the pressure. Response - the Juice - is it ripe or sour? the Sweetness - inviting the Holy Spirit. With all of that.....How refreshing am I to those around me and to Jesus? Jus...
How do we walk out who we are? Today, good friend Heather Brummer joins me to talk about our Identity and Authority found Unveiled Horizon by another friend Bill Vanderbush (found on Amazon). Heather is a Licensed Pastoral Counselor with the National Christian Counseling Association. Her website www.counselingwithheathertx.com. Jesus has gifted Heather to walk with others into new levels of freedom.
Sticks and stones may break our bones, but words will never hurt me. Really? In today's final episode in this series, Kim and Wendy will discuss how the words we say and possibly what others say from our past, impact our present and potentially our future. Look forward to diving in!!!
What does waiting mean? What do we do when things are not happening in the timing we want. We hear the verse Wait in the Lord (Isaiah 40:31) and may get frustrated and hectic in the waiting. We have a promise and have to wait for the fulfillment.
What comes out of us...words, thoughts, actions.... is likely deep within us. When we realize it, we wonder where did that stuff come from? Today we are doing to get into the well of our life (heart) what's in there, how did it get there, how do we get it out and what are we attracting? It starts by guarding our hearts. Time to dive in.
You've heard of One Hit Wonders in music or even film - that one song that shot to the top of the charts and impacted a culture. Did you know there are one hit wonders in the Bible? Kind of. People who were mentioned one time and are still talked about today. Who we are and what we do is impacting someone and maybe talked about for eternity. You are significant.
Who do you think you are? What have you believed about yourself? What lies are still hidden and how do we get them out of our head so that we can become all we are created to be!
Today is the final in this series 11 Days, 40 years and it all comes to this....God is faithful. Caleb and Joshua waited 40 years and they were as strong as when the promise was given. God's redemption and restoration are beyond our imagination. You didn't miss anything.....you are right on time. We hope you enjoy.
Kim and Wendy continue the 3 part series of Hidden Treasures / Faith over Fear with this episode - Consequences.
Journeys....everyone has their own. Sometimes its super frustrating! Especially when you have a friend make decisions that you know are not the best (at least you think you know). In this first episode of a 3 part series, Kim and Wendy dive into Numbers 13 and 14 to talk promises and the journey to get there. Sometimes an 11 day journey can take 40 years...eeek. That's ok....we have a promise and God is faithful. This is a great journey. Come join us!&n...
In today's episode, Kim and Wendy share how Hidden Treasures started, what they thought it was and the surprise of what it is becoming. They will also share the treasures they found in the process and pain of finding our value. Acknowledgement, Surrender and Acceptance. You are fearfully and wonderfully made, and part of the making may include removal of things you don't need. Trust Him in the process. We are so thankful you stopped by <3
Do you like treasure hunting? The excitement of treasure hunting, looking for the "X" that marks the spot or the pot of gold over the rainbow. In today's episode, Kim and Wendy talk about finding treasure in the pressure of life. Just like gems (diamonds, pearls, olive oil) are formed in heat and pressure, there are gems formed in the challenging situations we experience.....if we let it. We hope today's podcast encourages you to find the incredible treasures...
