Ep.56 Psalm 1
Wednesday Jun 05, 2024
Wednesday Jun 05, 2024
Want to be established in the Lord? Let's take a quick look at Psalm 1 to learn more about how we can be established in Christ.
Verse of the Day:
Psalm 1
1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
A new episode is coming out Monday, June 10th so looking forward to seeing you there!!

Ep 53. Peer Pressure.
Monday Apr 29, 2024
Monday Apr 29, 2024
Can you remember a time that you experienced peer pressure? Imagine that time for a moment. Remember your age, the setting, the people, the experiences, the smells, and the decision before you. At the time, what were you being pressured into? And how did you handle it?
Today, I share an experience that I had in college dealing with peer pressure, how I handled it, and I share how God wants us to handle peer pressure. Peer pressure can come in many forms but the Lord is faithful to help us in every scenario. Ready? Let’s grow!
Scriptures from Today:
2 Timothy 1:7 KJV “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”
Romans 12:1-2 KJV “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
Matthew 10:34-36 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace on the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword [of division between belief and unbelief]. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man’s enemies will be the members of his [own] household [when one believes and another does not].”
Hebrews 13:5 KJV “Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”
Acts 2:40 AMP “And Peter solemnly testified and continued to admonish and urge them with many more words, saying, “Be saved from this crooked and unjust generation!””
Acts 2:40 KJV “And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.”
1 John 4:4 KJV “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.”
Romans 10:9 AMP “... acknowledge and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord [recognizing His power, authority, and majesty as God], and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”
Romans 3:23 KJV “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”

Soaking in the Sonlight: The Podcast
Hello there! Welcome to the Soaking in the Sonlight Podcast! And you read that right...that's sunlight with an "o." In the Bible, Jesus says "I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." John 8:12 KJV Jesus is the Son of God and He is the light of the world. As a Christian woman in my twenties, I want to share Jesus' light with others (or as I like to call it, the "Sonlight").
This podcast is a platform to encourage my young peers and the young at heart to "grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ." Just like plants, we can only grow in the Sonlight. I want to encourage all listeners to stay with Him and to stay in His light because He is the only way to heaven.
Peer pressure and all different sorts of distractions in this life can tempt us to leave God but I want this podcast to highlight how He can carry us through by sharing personal stories, testimonies, scriptures, and prayer. Come and grow along with me as we continue to Soak in the Sonlight!
