Making a Great Marriage: Surrender

Consider the lemonade stand on a hot day, you stop and support the child and get your need met. What about if you drove by and saw a sign marketing for your marriage to get better, would you stop? The marriage formula wouldn’t be complicated in context, but in execution it would require some things from you. 1) Surrender to God and 2) Realizing the foundation and purpose of marriage. What if your marriage, even if it is jacked up, is the best thing that could happen to you? What if God knew you would choose the worst guy, yet grow you. Could God have allowed you to go your own way with the purpose to prune and stretch you? Marriage is more than what you think. First off, it is about God’s glory, not our convenience. Furthermore, it works for you even when it isn’t working. Tune in via any podcast or video today!!

Mount Everest Prayers with God’s Agenda

Have you ever broken down, to the smallest level, what you are praying and asking God for? For me, sometimes everything is swirling in my head, but I haven’t truly thought through what I think I want, and I haven’t really believed God for it. Do you believe God for your heart desires? He has an answer for them. It may be a few different answers, but believe that not only does He have an answer, but it is the BEST for you. His will is in alignment with the greater purpose of the kingdom. One thing that encourages me, and I pray it does for you, is that God already knows what we want before we ask, and His love crosses all boundaries! I’m excited for you to listen in!

Hey friend-Week 3 is here! We are in this month of discussing what prayer is about and how to implement it into our daily lives. This week is all about cultivating a grateful heart. Thankfulness is a lifestyle we adopt & discipline ourselves for. Our grateful hearts radiate into dark places and reveal the light within us, which is Jesus Christ.Maybe this season, or compilation of seasons makes it impossible to practice gratitude. The Bible invites us to live like this, yet our real problems cloud our ability to execute.How do you stay grateful? Even in times of sorry. Let’s jump into this discussion, about how thankfulness in our prayer life correlates to our mindset. Thanks for joining! Please subscribe to the blog:www.courageousradiance.com and the podcast.

How Am I Hindering My Prayers?

This week, we head back to talking through a prayer acronym that can be used, ACTS. “C” is for confession and we are jumping into its intricacies.What are some hinderances to prayer? Does God REALLY need me to confess my sin if He already knows my heart?I’m so glad that in a generation of canceling one another, left and right, that God doesn’t hit the red button to cancel us. Whether we get prayer wrong or right, what truly matters is our relationship with God. Even in our failure to confess, or when our confessions are half-hearted, I’m thankful that God is always willing to restore us back to a right standing with Him.Thanks for joining!
