Welcome back to the BE ENCOURAGED! Podcast! This is episode 132! (a two-part conversation and you are listening to part 1!) Also, please I had some technical difficulties, my apologies! I hope that although it's late getting out there --- You all think it's worth the wait! Also, the sound may not be on par, as I am trying out a new platform.

But that doesn't stop us for enjoying a rich conversation that will leave you ENCOURAGED!

You are in for a real treat today because I have a very special guest and dear friend, Teodora on the show!

Additionally, Heather Youpa is coming alongside me to help co-host this episode! This is about a true story of a mother and daughter who found Jesus Christ, while living in a Communist Country!

It will have you on the edge of your seat and also asking yourself some questions within!

This episode challenges me to consider the generational impact I want to leave behind for my children and for those around me. Also, it encourages me to reflect on where my faith was stirred up and I sought the Lord for myself.

Who were the ones who made a generational impact on me, by sewing seeds of faith into my life? What do I need to take out of my life so I can listen to the Lord and hear Him? .....Take out the Pride? Selfishness? Do I need to slow down and Be Still? Should I get up before the kids for a quiet house? Pause and look around?

I hope you consider and reflect on that, as well as, and the power and Might of God, which you will hear more about in this episode!

It's incredible when we turn our hearts to God and are obedient to what God is calling us to do and strengthening us to press through!

Psalm 38:4 says, "Taste and see the Lord is good, blessed are the ones who take refuge in Him." Let this verse be the anchoring theme of this episode and of our faith walk. So grab your cup of coffee, get on your walk or run, or pull up a chair and join us --- but wherever you are ---- BE ENCOURAGED!
