The Vibrant Life with Ali Gentry

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you ever asked yourself, "How in the WORLD did I get HERE?" Many times, it's not just one big thing that happened that got us there, but a series of little things that led us to that moment. Whether a good experience or a bad situation, the little strides taken every day can lead us to growth in Christ or away from the vibrant life He has available to us. On this week's episode, Ali talks about the little things that kinder us and how to keep those from stealing our joy, peace and hope in life and relationship with Jesus. Scripture Focus: Song of Songs 2:10-15, Hebrews 12:1-2 CONNECT WITH ME ON:INSTAGRAM: http://www.instagram.com/ali.gentryFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/thevibrantlifeshow/WEBSITE : www.aligentry.com LISTEN LIVE ► https://faithtalk1360.com/listenliveLEARN MORE ► https://www.aligentry.com/SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST ► http://bit.ly/thevibrantlifeshowyoutube LISTEN ON:ITUNES: http://bit.ly/thevibrantlifeshowappleSPOTIFY: http://bit.ly/thevibrantlifeshowspotify DONATE TO VIBRANT MINISTRIES ► https://www.aligentry.com/vibrant #TheVibrantLife #AliGentrySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Libby Frees, a recording artist and Worship Leader at Life.Church in Colorado Springs, CO, talks to Ali about the benefit of implementing spiritual practices into our lives. Our world has tried to convince us that discipline and legalism are the same things when it comes to Christianity. Libby talks through different spiritual practices that has impacted her life and about the differences between legalism and discipline. Legalism tends to lead to bondage, while discipline leads to freedom and growth - in ourselves and our walk with Christ.

Have you ever felt the disappointment when your expectations aren't met? It can often lead to distrust in relationships (romantic, friendships, workplace) because what you expected doesn't match the reality that you experience. When this happens we can reach to other things in our lives to fill that void it can create in us. In this episode, our host, Ali Gentry, will walk us through identifying what you might be reaching for - externally and internally - and give tools to walk forward in hopeful expectation of good things to still come!   CONNECT WITH ME ON:INSTAGRAM: http://www.instagram.com/ali.gentryFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/thevibrantlifeshow/WEBSITE: www.aligentry.com LISTEN LIVE ► https://faithtalk1360.com/listenliveLEARN MORE ► https://www.aligentry.com/SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST ► http://bit.ly/thevibrantlifeshowyoutubeDONATE TO VIBRANT MINISTRIES ► https://www.aligentry.com/vibrant LISTEN ON:ITUNES: http://bit.ly/thevibrantlifeshowappleSPOTIFY: http://bit.ly/thevibrantlifeshowspotify #TheVibrantLife #AliGentrySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
