Be the Brave Ones

Who is God? That is a BIG question! In this series, we're looking at some of the names of God to help answer it. Throughout the Bible we see person after person finding security, confidence and courage to become all God made them to be, not in who they were but in who God was and still is.  Today, we talk with author Cally Logan about God being known by the name Jehovah Jireh, the Lord is My Provider. Cally is a high school History teacher, and Senior Writer for Crosswalk.com. Her works include, Hang in There, Girl! and Dear Future Husband, which was featured on, The 700 Club Interactive and Propel Women. She is a mentor for college-aged girls and enjoys challenging her students to develop deeper relationships with God and to live authentically and fearlessly. Cally talks with Mandie & Delaney about her latest book, surrendering what we love, laying down idols, waiting well, and trusting God to provide what we need when we need it!

Who is God? That is a BIG question! In this series, we'll be looking at some of the names of God to help answer it. Throughout the Bible we see person after person finding security, confidence and courage to become all God made them to be, not in who they were but in who God is. We think He wants to show us that He desires to do for us what He did for them and that we can find so much of what we are looking for by understanding more about His Great Name. It's a weapon for any and every life circumstance! In this introductory episode, Mandie, Delaney, & Lauren talk about the reason behind the series and dive into Exodus 3:10-17, the story of Moses at the burning bush! Moses had some questions, and God had some answers. He has answers for us too!

We're continuing in our "Child of God" series, talking about identity and belonging! We want to encourage you in your own walk with Jesus while equipping you to help the girls in your life answer two questions they are hard-wired to ask: "Who am I?" and "Where do I belong?"Today, Mandie and Delaney close out the series talking with children's author Aunya Robinson.  She has worked as an ESL teacher in China, and in California where she helped children write and publish their stories. She has her Bachelors degree in multi-media and web design. She's spent time as a professional actress and model. Currently, she works as an Instructional Technology teacher in Tampa, FL where she takes every opportunity to remind students who they are and where they belong.The opportunities given to Aunya as an actor (storyteller) and model allowed her to meet many people, of all different backgrounds and financial standing. She says this gave her the greatest gift - to SEE humanity, the common thread in all, and the need for a Savior. This understanding influenced her to create a children's book series for all different hues and socio-economic statuses, called Baby Angel books.  When we tell you this is not an episode you want to miss! We mean it. We're not sure we could have closed out the season any better.

She's a lover of Jesus, her family, education, and wait for it...Lifetime movies!
