Encouragement to ”...let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16 NIV
Hey friend, I am glad you are here. In this episode Ricki and Darlene share real, relatable stories about prayer, spiritual warfare, and learning to let the Holy Spirit guide your words, attitude, and responses. If the holidays or daily chaos have you wound up, this conversation is a warm reminder to stop, kneel, breathe, and trust that God is working all things together for good.
We talk about Romans 8:28, which says, God works all things together for the good of those who love him and are called according to his purpose.
We also walk through the full armor of God from Ephesians 6:10 to 18, which says
Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. Stand firm then with the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, and your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. Take up the shield of faith with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.
We share stories about praying through chaos, answered prayers in unexpected places, staying calm when life gets messy, teaching children to pray early, and how the Holy Spirit gives peace and words when you feel unprepared. You will also hear personal moments about spiritual warfare, learning to be set apart, and trusting God step by step.

Hey friends — it’s Ricki and Riley here to encourage you to grab your Bible and make it part of your daily rhythm. Start simple: read a Proverb a day or dive into John’s Gospel, pray before you begin, and jot down a note or prayer as you go. We both share what’s worked for us over the years.
We begin this episode by reading Deuteronomy 17:19: “And it shall be with him, and he shall read in it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, by keeping all the words of this law and these statutes, and doing them.”
This was an instruction Moses gave to Israel’s future kings — but it applies to us today too! Read your Bible daily, keep God’s Word close, and live it out. How cool is that? We also look at Joshua 1:8, where God reminds us that walking in His Word brings success and blessing. God is so good to us!
Make it real in your life — invite your kids to join in, journal in the margins, and don’t stress if you miss a day. God’s Word speaks into everything — wisdom, worry, joy — and He meets you in those small, daily moments.
So pick up your Bible today, ask God to show you something new, and go out and broadcast His love — one page, one prayer at a time.

Hey y'all, this is Ginger DeVries, guest number 56 of the podcast encouraging you today to use your position to broadcast God's love. God's word says, whatever you do in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. We pray this episode is an encouragement to you to go out and use your position to broadcast His love. From Scotto Albritton Studios, here's your host, Ricki.
Hey, everyone, and welcome to Broadcast His Love. This is a podcast where we talk about what life looks like when we decrease our name and increase God's name, because it's all about Jesus living life on purpose with Him. And I'm so excited for today's conversation. It feels like this conversation is a seed that was planted about five years ago that is now budding and it has petals and it's a beautiful color of flower. And now we're just going to get to enjoy God's goodness of what he's grown.
Kylie Bensley is on today. She's been a friend of mine for a while. We met at a Dave Ramsey conference with Christy Wright with the Business Boutique. She is the founder and CEO of Suli Nu, which is a nutrition-based company for cosmetic surgery. And so we're going to learn all about this company that she has founded and she's the CEO of and just what the Lord is doing through it.
So how are you, Kylie? Ricki, it's so great. So wonderful that we get to chat because this has been, you are one of the few people that you've seen the whole journey of this. And so it's interesting that now we get to talk five years later.
Yes, I mean. Five years later, like what is the Lord doing through your business? Oh, my goodness. Well, I have to say, I always say entrepreneurship is not for the faint of heart because I always thought motherhood was the hardest. And I feel like entrepreneurship trumps that because you're challenged every single day in your character and in every single way, shape or form, you're challenged every day. So it's just been like this amazing journey of trying to, you know, figure out yourself, right? While you're trying to be successful.
Yeah, I definitely get refined doing business. The wording that I use about entrepreneurship is entrepreneurship is not for wussies. There's no way that you can. Oh, man. And the refinement that takes place in owning a business that the Lord just every single day is like refining and taking off large chunks. Like he's, you know, the whole, the John 15 story about I'm the vine, you're the branches and he's taking out the dead vines to grow new vines. Like that is every 15 minutes when you run a business, right?
Every day, every single day. And I always, I'm always, I tell my husband, now I'm not crying every day. I'm just crying every other day, you know? And then, and then I just talk about the resilience that you, you learn, you learn such resilience. Things don't bother you as much. You learn how to bounce back. You learn how to fail every day. Yeah. You know, you just learn all these skills that really no, nothing else teaches you, you know? It's true. So it's, yeah, it's incredible.
Okay. Tell us about what you do. Like what is Suli Nu? Yeah. So Suli Nu, so what we say is, you know, every woman wants a beautiful recovery from plastic surgery, but they never know what to eat or what supplements to take in order to have a beautiful incision and a beautiful recovery. And they're always overwhelmed as to what to choose. But SuliNu gives you all the tools you need from nutritional tools in order to have a beautiful incision and a better recovery from cosmetic surgery. With our meal plans, our dietitian curated meal plans, and our clinically backed supplement, we are giving women a stronger, faster recovery from surgery.
Okay. So it's like a kit, correct? So we get, so yeah, so we have a kit, which is, we have, it's two bags of our before and after, which is our Nutri-Surgical vitamin powder. And that is everything you need. It's eight products in one. So you're not vitamin stacking, and you're not having the risk of vitamin overdosing. Everything is in one simple scoop. And you start taking that one simple scoop before and after surgery. And then we pair it with what you eat because everything that you eat in your perioperative period is going to affect your skin, your incision, your healing, how fast you recover. And so we give them meal plans about what to eat and what to eat before and after surgery.
Okay. And so we sell them in kits and we have two of them. We have three of them actually, but we have it for facial surgery. So anything neck and above and then neck and below low for body surgeries because those are two different type of surgeries. And so we have different meal plans for the two different types of surgeries. I just love how, how many, if you go to Kylie's Instagram, there's like doctors all over this. I mean, and you're a dietician too. So, I mean, you're no spring chicken to eating healthy and what people need and don't need, right?
Yeah. I mean, everything we put in our body is going to affect our skin, our teeth, You know, our digestive system, it's going to affect everything we do. But we've never learned like how that works for, surgery outside of being in the hospital, right? In the hospital, we have a whole team. We have a whole team of dieticians and nurses and surgeons who are making sure that you're having all the nutrition you need for surgery. That's in the hospital. But when you have cosmetic surgery, people look at it like it's an elective surgery and it's not as important. But we know that it is just as important and you're paying cash, right? Most people are paying cash. You have a lot of money on the line. It's very important. There's still a lot of risks involved. It's just as risky as other surgeries, right? And so we have to take that into account when you go home. We have to make it just as serious and treating you just as seriously as if you're in the hospital having surgery, which is, I think, what we've called it equity for elective surgeries. So they demand, And we like I just have a kind of my soapbox is women deserve and should demand equal care for any type of surgery outside the hospital, including cosmetic surgeries.
Yeah, because there's a lot of risk involved. I mean, I've never seen anything like this online. I mean, I've known you for five years and I remember when you wanted to launch this. So we I feel like we should share the story about being at the business boutique and both having dreams in our hearts of like wanting to do something and just like waiting for the Lord to really chisel down what that thing is. And I mean, this was it. This was it then. And this is it now. Right.
Yeah. It took five years. It definitely took it took a solid five years to launch it. And but I don't regret it because you know right right before we met then I had a contract with a surgeon and we were going to be partners COVID shut that down and that was the first of like thousands of dollars that I lost because I lost four thousand dollars just in that breaking agreement but um but he broke which is fine because we're friends and it was fabulous but he broke off from that agreement and so I was on my own and then I was a friend of a friend and said, Hey, you could call her and she can give you advice. So I called this woman. I had no idea who she was. I, after she spent an hour with me, I sent her a thank you card and a gift card. I found out that she had been a part. Oh my goodness. MTV, Dr. Wells, Martha Stewart, Condé Nast Day, Travel, New York Times. Like she had been involved in all of those companies. And then once I sent her a thank you note, she sent me an email and basically sent me like three names of these very high level designers.
Yeah. And people who knew how to launch big businesses. So they came. So then these women came from Nutrafol and Lady Gaga and. J-Lo. And that's where they came from. And they wanted to help me launch my business. And so it's amazing. And so all of that, like the failure of the surgeon had to happen in order to reach out to this woman. And, and then the floodgates just opened after that. And so that's why it took so long is because these women really just loved the concept of it. And they just invested in it as if there was their own company. And so that when you deal with that level of team, It just takes a really long time. And manufacturing. I mean, manufacturing probably took me two and a half years, like just to find the right manufacturer, you know? So I mean, this is your product.
Yeah. I mean, I wrote the formula and then I pass it on to a dietician and he does this for a living. Like he develops formulas for big companies. So he does a lot of big names as well. And so I happened to find him like through four other people. And he is just like this, you would just never guess it. Like you would just never, ever, ever guess that he does this for big companies. So he refined it. And then he helped me find, and then we added in patented. We wanted it to be as clinically solid as possible. So we added in five patented ingredients, which patented ingredient for a supplement to me has been, it just holds so much more weight than third party testing. Now, that's what I professionally believe. So we, he got these, these patented products and then he found a manufacturer and it was from there. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Long ride. Long ride. But so worth it. Because I mean, this is so put together. It's so great. And I love what you're doing. I mean, it's very niche. You know, this is yeah, meal planning. This is post-op, you know, this is plastic surgery, nutritional focus. So it's very
Very niche. And I'm just really happy for you for starting it and doing it and sticking with it. I really want to know, like, if, you know, God, I mean, I know he's brought you great relationships from it, but I would love to hear a little bit more about maybe some of the, you don't have to say their names, obviously, but like any cool God stories from the people you've been able to work with.
Yeah, I probably have. I actually started a journal. And if anybody's listening to this and they're starting a company, start a journal because you are going to need it when you want to give up. And so I have like two or three journals and I just write down like when cool things happen, when I just feel like all is lost. But, you know, every single time, like there's been so many, honestly, I can't remember, but I can tell you the last one, the latest one.
Yeah. So we have just prayed that nothing is lost. Like we pray that every package gets delivered, that nothing gets lost, that God is not a waster of anything, that we do not want to waste anything in our company. Yeah. And so when you are shipping out, right, you know, an expensive package, that takes a lot of faith as a business person, right? Because you don't, you're hoping mean that it gets delivered. And so there was specifically a package that was supposed to go to Beverly Hills. And it was like, it was a, it was a very expensive package. And.
It was in, it was floating around New York City, like some got shipped to New York City, and it was just floating around. And this has happened before. And it was just floating, floating, floating. And so the girl is was going to Saudi Arabia, going back home to Saudi Arabia. And she said, you know, what do I do? I need this package. And I said, I don't know what to tell you here, your three choices, you know, you can do A, B, and C. But we prayed over that package. We just said, God, this is God. It's just show up. It went from New York City to Beverly Hills within 12 hours. It was in her hands within 12 hours. And she texted, she emailed me and she goes, I got it. Thank you so much. It was great. I'm so grateful. And I just remember like, and that has happened multiple times, like multiple times. And so it just was like this reminder of like, he cares, right? He cares about a package. He cares about silly things. I just pray about everything with it. So I have one of my favorite people in the business. She was actually, she is, I think, I don't know what she believes now. She was Christian for a while and then she's into other things. But she says that I have a direct line. She says, I know, Kylie, you've got a direct line. So you need to be thinking about this. so we talk about it all the time because she's like you've got a direct line you're gonna be fine and so and she's walked through it this with me for like four years and so I know that she you know I don't know where she's at in her faith but it's been interesting to see that it's not been really like what I've said or done I just tell her my God stories all the time you know and and she's like yeah you've got a direct line you're gonna be fine you know just you figure out you know you just so anyways little stuff like that has just been great And then meeting people that you thought. Had, you just make these assumptions. I've made so many assumptions in this business about what I think people are, what I think people believe. You would be so surprised how many big names I've talked to. And when I mean big names, I mean, like they work for big people and they're, you know, they're faith followers. And there's so many in the business that you, that you don't think are there. And they are, they are. I love that. Well, and something really huge that we didn't talk about to start with, but your company gets highlighted by Forbes, which, I mean, how huge is that?
Yeah. I mean, we've been like right now, I think I've been quoted in about 50 to 60 magazines. I would even say, well, like it gets I read it. I'll help. I'll contribute to an article and then it'll get picked up and then it'll go to like 100 other news outlets. So it kind of it gets picked up. But but Forbes was something that was probably on my bucket list in like 10 years. You know? Yeah. I mean, it's beautiful. beautiful bucket list. Yeah, it was not on my bucket list within six months, but it got picked up. And, and, and the writer, I think, was going through her own stuff. So like, she just kind of related to it, you know, she just related to what was going on. So that was, that was really, I feel personally, I feel like that is what got me really in the doors of people. And I, I put that everywhere because I was like, if someone from Forbes can say that I see you and this is really cool, then I was able to get to the door. I feel like in so many ways, you know, and with Vogue and Glamour and all the other things. Mostly for just like my quotes and stuff. But yeah, it's been, it's been way beyond my dreams, way, way, way beyond my dreams, you know?
Yeah. Vogue, glamour. I mean, that is a big deal. Would you accredit that to God's favor in your life for bringing those opportunities? Or, I mean, it's kind of an odd question to be like, do you think the Lord provided that? But I, I, I do. I think that he gave you that promotion. I think when I, you know, I don't want to say like I had no expectations, but when you really, truly are just like, I can't even, I mean, I can kind of have a plan, God, but I just know that I have to give this to you because I cannot, I'm not smart enough. I'm not talented enough and I don't have the, I don't have the connections, you know? And so when you, I don't know if I say like have favor, it's, and it's not that I don't think that, I just think like when you, I feel like he just speeds things up. When you need, the way that he's working, he just speeds things up, right? And like, there's like this urgency that I have with my company. And I know that he has given me that urgency. And so when I see things play out, I'm like, I know this is God's urgency on my company. Exactly. And so I just kind of see that play out. I mean, okay. So I just looked up the article from Vogue. I'm going to put all these articles in the description of this podcast. It's just really cool, girl. I mean, it just started as an idea. I mean, can you speak more into how the Lord has had a way in all the details of your business?
Yes. So 2019, we go camping with some of our closest friends. One is a plastic surgeon. Another one is an orthosurgeon. And I want to first kind of preface this that, you know, plastic surgeons are still very normal people. I mean, they are, they call themselves surgeons first and plastics just kind of happens to be what they go into. But if you're listening to this and you are, and let me tell you why I'm saying this is because I was one of them, is you're immediately like, I want to say judging, but more, you're not judging, you're just assuming what people who are getting cosmetic surgery look like. And I am constantly saying, listen, I can guarantee you that people, there are women getting things done all the time because of self-esteem issues. So we are not talking about the big boobs and the big But we are talking about women who've had no self esteems, because of they had diastasis recti because of babies, or they have, you know, like their nose is crooked, and they hate it, or, you know, just something like that, where they are given back self esteem. So you need to understand that that is probably 80% of the population that's getting surgery. They're not the women that are in the bikinis. they're the women who are just like age and life and kids have taken my body and I just want it back. Right, right, right, right. That's 75%. And I got to say, I can tell you that like half of my clients are from

This was a fun week with Jim White, Ph.D., also known as "The Book Doctor."
Dr. Jim White, Ph.D., also known as "The Book Doctor, "is a unique voice in the field of religious education. As a professor at Pensacola Christian College, he recently shared his insights with Riley Stewart on how God is using him for His glory.
I loved hearing how the LORD spoke to him and his wife about Dr. Jim pursuing his doctorate. Dr. Jim talks about working hard to stay with the current trends of social media for his students benefits, but now he has had to put up boundaries to disengage from social media at certain times.
It was really encouraging to hear how Dr. Jim is using his position to encourage the next generation of Christ followers entering the marketplace. God bless you Dr. Jim and family!

For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. Colossians 1:16 ESV

This is a rerun from July 2022! Ginger DeVries is back on the podcast this week with a good chat about how God is enough and He is our portion. Without God, we are not enough but with God, He is enough and so we are enough because God now lives in us and He can do anything. Here are some scriptures Ginger shared, and I pray they encourage you!
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 2 CORINTHIANS 12:9 NIV
You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 1 JOHN 4:4 NIV
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. JOHN 3:16 NIV
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. ROMANS 6:23 NIV
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, ROMANS 3:23 NIV
For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10 NIV
These scriptures remind me how we need Jesus and how broken we are. This conversation was a deep, rich conversation for me and my walk with God, reminding me how I need Him. We pray this episode is an encouragement to you to have a relationship with Jesus or a deeper relationship with Jesus if you are already saved! We can run to Him no matter where we are. We can seek Him with our whole hearts and we can change our ways to commit our actions to Him if we are willing and want to be obedient! I learned so much from what God is doing in Ginger! Thank you Ginger for your time and for sharing what God has on your heart!

This week we talk about some DEEP stuff with return guest -- Leah Taylor who is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida offering Telehealth to Florida residents. She is also an Associate Licensed Counselor with a provisional license in Alabama and working towards her professional licensure, there. Her office is located in Birmingham, AL but she can also chat virtually.
So grateful for Leah who talks about some hard things to talk about in the Christian walk (in my opinion)... Relating to mental health and Christians. I loved learning more about Leah's approach as a Counselor who puts her faith first when the person she is counseling allows it.
We cover a lot in this episode and I pray in whatever was said -- it draws you closer to Jesus to broadcast His love!!

This week surprised me!! I knew our guest Shawn Brown was an outdoorsman but I didn't know HOW MUCH SCRIPTURE he had memorized!!!!! What a blessing to hear his testimony of how he got into windsurfing and also how he first fell in love with scripture... Through a friend sharing a gift with him. Shawn and his wife Lindy have their own business called Outdoor Gulf Coast where they teach windsurfing, do surf lessons and they also do dolphin cruises! This family is so fun!
To me, Shawn's story is so beautiful because he has taken all of the things he loves to do and that he has been gifted by God to do to share with others!!
This was a really fun episode and I pray that whatever we said drew you closer to Christ! Thanks for listening!

She was listening to the school's videos on YouTube. The school has videos with their former teacher pastor Randy Smith who dives into each book of the Bible and he teaches the book in one hour. His messages on YouTube are called, "One hour. One Book..." and then the name of the book he is teaching.

Hope our testimony about wanting this grey building encourages you to ask God to clean your heart out and trust Him with the plans He has for your life. I love the story of David. Thank God we get to know so much about him in the Bible. David's story is encouraging to us in good and bad seasons. I learned so much from God while putting this episode together. Huge shout out to Dr. Patty Sadallah for helping me put this together for His glory.
Hope our story with this grey building encourages you to decrease your name and increase God's name to do what He has asked you to do TODAY. Only God!!

Hey friends! We are praying with Risa Reeves for anyone and everyone who is involved with the school system. Here in our area school starts back August 10th. Our guest this week, Risa Reeves is the Director of Student Programs at Haiti One by One. She tells us the Bible verse that is encouraging her in this season is Proverbs 3: 5 which says: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."
She encouraged us to read all of Proverbs 3 noting that there are some good verses to pray over your children before they go back to school... If you have children in school like us!
So we just pray in this episode to JESUS for anyone and everyone who is involved in our school systems here or in Haiti! In Jesus name, Amen!

This week we are joined by Author, and interim director of Women at Olive Baptist Church, Ava Sturgeon. I love how she talks about worshipping our LORD at such a young age and the picture she paints for us of her singing praise music on a purple front porch with her family. Ava is so kind to share with us what God has done in her life and what He is doing now as she steps into a new role as the interim director of Women at Olive Baptist Church in Pensacola, FL. Ava does step into the role that our dear friend and sister in Christ Beth Harris had. My heart overflows knowing that she has stepped up into this leadership position to assist her church and church family in this way. As many are still probably grieving the loss of Beth. I loved chatting about what we think Beth may be doing in heaven with Jesus right now. God is so good to give us His picture of heaven in the Bible when He calls it, "paradise." Love our LORD and love our sister in Christ -- AVA!

Our guest this week is Mignon Francois who is the Founder and CEO of The Cupcake Collection (TCC). She has cupcake stores in Nashville and New Orleans and the business started in her home where her first customer was her neighbor.
Mignon was first paid $5 on her first day of saying yes to that first job and God has been blessing her business since. Mignon stepped up to the challenge to use her experience in school taking chemistry classes to create her own cupcake recipe. Her recipe has won tons of awards. She has been featured on the Today Show and she is widely followed and asked to speak at events to encourage others.
Now the business is a multimillion-dollar cupcake business with multiple locations and a new book! This spring, Mignon released her first book about her experience in a memoir she wrote called, Made from Scratch: Finding Success Without a Recipe.
This is Mignon's second time on the podcast. She was our 14th guest back in April 2020! She was so kind to come on the podcast then and share her testimony to encourage others to broadcast His love. I have loved watching what God has been doing in her life. Now with her new book out where she shares her story of climbing out of a life of continuous upsets, struggle, and lack to building a legacy that would bless her and future generations.
Get this book here!!
When you do buy it please follow Mignon and let her know you bought her book from listening to her testimony on Broadcast His Love! Thanks for listening and praying you have a blessed week.
If you were encouraged by this episode please share it with your friends and family or someone you think would be encouraged by Jesus from it.

Our guest this week left me speechless! That's how mighty our God is (HAH!) ! He blew me away in this episode with what He had on Leah's heart and her testimony and how God has gotten them through so much. Lord, thank you for Leah Taylor!!
Leah shared how the Lord moved her family from Gulf Breeze, Florida to Birmingham, Alabama. She talked about how her family felt doors were opening for them and then how they suddenly started to seem like the doors were shutting quickly for them. This was an episode I was not expecting to hear but the LORD had a plan. Thank you, Lord, for giving a new life to the Taylor family.
We pray you leave this conversation encouraged to broadcast God's love no matter your position. God bless you!!

Shay Annis is going to be our spokesperson for Broadcast His Love because SHE IS Broadcasting God's Love so boldly! I met her when my family was visiting Murphy, North Carolina. She was working in a shop called, Glitz & Glamour Boutique in downtown Murphy. She had a shirt on with the name Jesus on it and she was asking how my day was, telling me how blessed she feels. I didn't even know her name but I knew she had to come on and share with you all what God was doing in her life. God is so good! So grateful Shay was able to come on and share with us some of her testimony and how God is showing her through other believers to be bold and pray for others even if it's in public. Shay talked about after a customer prayed for her in the store she said she "saw the victory" and that is what this episode is named after. Is there a moment in your life when God showed you how He has the victory... Basically saying has God shown you a time where He has been faithful to have your back, where He never failed you, where He showed you how He has good plans for your life?
Thank you so much Shay for coming on the podcast and sharing what God is doing in your life. We are blessed from hearing your testimony!

Here's the Bible verse that is encouraging her in this season: "Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.

Happy Valentine's Day! Here's a word for anyone who feels rejected today. Know that in Christ YOU ARE ACCEPTED! You have been called out of darkness and into His marvelous light!
7 Yes, you who trust him recognize the honor God has given him.[a] But for those who reject him,
“The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone.”[b]
8 And,
“He is the stone that makes people stumble, the rock that makes them fall.”[c]
They stumble because they do not obey God’s word, and so they meet the fate that was planned for them.
9 But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests,[d] a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.
10 “Once you had no identity as a people; now you are God’s people.Once you received no mercy; now you have received God’s mercy.”[e]
1 Peter 2:7-10 NLT

Our guest this week is an artist! Pensacola artist, Sarah Soule Webb paints water and God’s creation. She's a wife and mom of 3. I love how she shares her story of how God has shown her to not make art about herself, but instead about things that bring attention to God and His creation. The Bible verse Sarah shared that is helping her in this season is Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 (NIV) which says:
A Time for Everything3 "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:
2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot,3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build,4 a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,6 a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away,7 a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak,8 a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace."

Gulf Coast Confidential Podcast Host, Author, TV Host, TV Producer, and Mom Mollye Barrows joins us this week! I thank God for women like Mollye who work in journalism to bring us the story from both sides. She is such a great journalist and I am so glad she started her new podcast, "Gulf Coast Confidential." In each episode, she works to bring light to big news stories in the south and "expose the lies, greed, and corruption that often weighs down the truth." Even though the big stories Mollye shares are from a while back, she tells listeners how they're far from over.
One of the scriptures we talked about in this episode was from the Lord's Prayer, and that was from Matthew 6:9-13, which says: biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%206%3A9-13&version=MSG
"Our Father in heaven,
Reveal who you are.
Set the world right;
Do what’s best—
as above, so below.
Keep us alive with three square meals.
Keep us forgiven with you and forgiving others.
Keep us safe from ourselves and the Devil.
You’re in charge!
You can do anything you want!
You’re ablaze in beauty!
Yes. Yes. Yes."
Check out her Podcast and YouTube Channel! Show some love for our Mollye who is stepping into her God-given gifting, being bold, and exposing stories (as you will also hear on her show) that are far from over.

Have you ever felt fulfilled after you experienced something that you were REALLY AWESOME at? Have you ever given God the credit for the fullness you felt from that experience? Could think of that moment as an experience with Jesus where the gifts and talents HE GAVE YOU were SHINING!? From Matthew 5:16 we are encouraged to "Let your light shine before men, that. they may see your good works, and. glorify your Father which is in heaven."
When light shines in a room, it lights up the whole room. The light outshines the places that were once dark. Now the places that were dark are lit up because of the light source that is shining.
You friend have been called to broadcast GOD'S love to everyone around you and SHINE!!
This episode is with one of my spiritual mentors, Dr. Patty Sadallah. She defines our calling to us! How pure, fun yet serious was this chat!? She described believers as puzzle pieces that fit perfectly into a puzzle. Don't you all know that if you work hard to put together a puzzle and you are missing one piece the puzzle is not complete? The JOY comes with the GIFT of a complete puzzle. God has a plan for your life and I just love encouraging you into a new year with a message of encouragement to SHINE and USE the gifts God has so graciously given you to Broadcast His Love!

If you have lost someone you love it can feel like a piece of you is gone. But my prayer for you in this conversation is that you ask God to fill you up with His love, comfort, peace, and wisdom. God is in control and He has our lives in His hands. Our guest this week is Briana Snellgrove who is an entrepreneur, blog host of In Light of Anguish, and new to grief after the passing of her father earlier this year. In this conversation, we get to hear about how great Briana's dad was and how God has comforted her through her mourning. The pain of losing a father is SO real. My own father passed away on January 2, 2022, and the pain is still there. I still grieve. I miss him terribly, but I have found peace and joy in knowing I will see my Dad again in heaven. For those of you who are grieving and are reading this, I am so sorry. God is with you. For those of you who are grieving alongside a friend who is heartbroken -- I just want to say thank you. Thank you for caring. Thank you for being there and thank you for listening in hopes you continue to help that friend who is grieving. Talking with Briana was healing for me in ways it's hard to describe but I thank God for it!

Our guest this week is Terri Merrick!! Y’all are going to love her so much. She’s so encouraging because she gives all the credit to Jesus!! “It’s all about Jesus!” said Merrick. Terri is the Executive Director and Founder of the Pensacola Dream Center which runs Canopy of Hope in Pensacola, FL. Terri tells us Canopy of Hope was opened to be a safe temporary shelter for women who have been abused, trafficked, and sexually exploited, those homeless, some coming out of jail, and other crises. She tells us how they provide 2-3 three weeks of shelter, love, and counseling to see where these ladies want to go with their lives.
This is SUCH a beauitful conversation because, during their time at Canopy of Hope Terri shares how their team assists the women recover by praying for them and letting the women have a chance to pause, rest and connect with God.
Terri also revealed in this chat that the first step to helping many of these women is by getting them out of their current situation and into a safe place where they can think clearly without fear of harm.
It's so obvious from her joy, but JESUS is the driving factor behind the programs she’s leading. God bless Terri and her team who are helping women transition to more positive lifestyles of self-sufficiency.

Ashley Cochrane Olson is the Founder and Executive Director of the non-profit Crowned for Ashes organization that's run out of Northwest Florida. She tells us her story and how she became a widow at the age of 31 after losing her husband who was a Veteran. Ashely tells us she became his full-time caregiver at the age of 27 when her late husband had a heart valve infection on deployment and then he had a stroke.
During that time, Ashley tells us she saw the need to walk in the community with others who understood what she was going through and that's why she started Crowned for Ashes, Corp. Now Ashley serves alongside a community of people at Crowned for Ashes, Corp who support wounded, ill, and injured veteran marriages + young widows with rest and recreation retreats on Florida’s Emerald Coast.

Amber Fletcher is the person behind the social media accounts for @ExplorePensacola. Between Facebook and Instagram, Amber has almost 50,000 followers. She tells us she has gone viral twice, and the second time (which was more recently) with a photo she took of her friend Shane Dye on a stand-up paddle board while he was surrounded by what looks to be thousands of jellyfish. Check out that photo, here!
I love her response to how she feels about going viral and that it doesn't feel any different than before, just more people reaching out to her from all over. In a world where it seems like everyone wants to go viral, what a great testimony from someone who has been there and done that TWICE! Thank you Amber for sharing that!!
Full-time, Amber is a photographer. I love how she talks about watching God's creation on Pensacola Beach from her drone. She is so grateful to God. It's so refreshing to me. I pray you all are drawn closer to Christ from this week's episode. Thanks for listening and if you'd like to connect with Amber, check out the links below.

Our guest this week is author, Grace Harrelson! She wrote this beautiful book called, "The Bright Promise." Grace tells us she wrote this book about God's promises in a dark season in her life. If you listen to this episode, you'll hear her tell her story about that. Thank you, God, for Grace! If God has something on your heart to do for His glory -- pray about it, ask God what He wants, listen to His response to you and --Sister or brother in Christ -- Go share how good God is through the gifts and talents He has given you! This testimony from Grace reminded me of this!!
And, we didn't mention this scripture in the podcast, but it's too good not to share here with you reading!
17 Everything good comes from God. Every perfect gift is from him. These good gifts come down from the Father who made all the lights in the sky. But God never changes like the shadows from those lights. He is always the same. 18 God decided to give us life through the true message he sent to us. He wanted us to be the most important of all that he created. James 1:17-19 ERV
Here's one scripture we shared towards the end of this episode about God's promises to us: "And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you." 1 Peter 5:10 ESV I love how and where this verse has the word grace. Isn't God so cool to give us a beautiful guest this week named "Grace" and also give us a scripture that reads: "God of grace..." How cool is God!?

Our guest this week is mom, wife, and friend -- Jenny Kunz! She has trained thousands in business. Jenny talks to us about what to do when God calls us to do something big. I love how she encourages us to continue to seek Jesus through the twists and turns of life.
Loved when Jenny shared this verse in the podcast: "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." Matthew 6:33 ESV
What a great verse to encourage us to keep our walk with God simple and seek Him first. If you feel you have been called by God to do something for His glory, we encourage you to seek God first. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen!

This week was SO fun! So grateful for my friend from college, Tori Petry coming on to tell us how God has used her and how He is now using her! Tori worked for the Detroit Lions NFL team for seven years before she changed the game and moved to Charlotte, North Carolina where God has launched her career in ministry through serving at her church. Tori also now works a freelance reporter and she manages social media accounts for small businesses.
I just love how God keeps Tori doing what He has called her to do as a communicator, but now in a different way and for a church that has a worldwide impact. ONLY GOD! In this chat, I loved learning how Tori first learned to memorize from her time competing on an academic Bible team as a child. Tori has lived such a fun life by being obedient in doing what God has called her to do... Even in leaving her job and moving!
I love Tori and her story so much because I see it as an encouragement to you to not be ashamed of the gifting God has given you, to trust Him, and DO what God has called you to do with Him, trusting Him to make it good because He loves you and you also loving Him.
Links to connect with Tori and her church are listed below. Let us know if you see our girl Tori at church! 💛🙌🎉
I pray this conversation draws you closer to Christ.

This conversation reminded me that living life on purpose for Jesus is so much more than doing something to give God glory... Living life on purpose for Jesus starts with fixing our eyes on Jesus, trusting Him, and living in a true relationship with Him as His co-laborer!
This week, our guest is the co-owner of Maker's Coffee Co. Caleb Pierce. He and his wife Haley Pierce have taken on a new opportunity to build a storefront coffee shop in the heart of downtown Pensacola at Palafox Street and Main Street. This is a massive project and we are so stoked for our friends to open up this new coffee shop in town.
If you are local or you visit downtown Pensacola be sure to stop buy and support this family. We are so happy for them and we trust God has a plan for them (Jeremiah 29:11)! Their new storefront will be at 422 S. Palafox St. Pensacola, FL 32501
This conversation reminded me of how much I love it when God challenges His Believers to do hard things because it's a constant reminder to reach out to Him for help and guidance. Living life on purpose for Jesus is all about your relationship and connection with Jesus through everything!
"But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." Matthew 6:33 ESV
This conversation was SO encouraging to me to continue to seek God through the building process. God is our Father and our obedience to Him will give us success!
"Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed." Proverbs 16:3 NIV
The Bible verse Caleb talked about that is encouraging Him in this season is 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 ESV which talks about sowing and reaping.
"The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work." 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 ESV

Ginger DeVries is back on the podcast this week with a good chat about how God is enough and He is our portion. Without God, we are not enough but with God, He is enough and so we are enough because God now lives in us and He can do anything. Here are some scriptures Ginger shared, and I pray they encourage you!
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 2 CORINTHIANS 12:9 NIV
You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 1 JOHN 4:4 NIV
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. JOHN 3:16 NIV
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. ROMANS 6:23 NIV
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, ROMANS 3:23 NIV
For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10 NIV
These scriptures remind me how we need Jesus and how broken we are. This conversation was a deep, rich conversation for me and my walk with God, reminding me how I need Him. We pray this episode is an encouragement to you to have a relationship with Jesus or a deeper relationship with Jesus if you are already saved! We can run to Him no matter where we are. We can seek Him with our whole hearts and we can change our ways to commit our actions to Him if we are willing and want to be obedient! I learned so much from what God is doing in Ginger! Thank you Ginger for your time and for sharing what God has on your heart!
Senior Accountant for Florida Polytechnic University, mom of two sweet girls, and wife, Brittaney Sottile-Roe is on the podcast this week! Brittaney shared how when she has fear, her faith in God helps her through bad times. She shared how her car had gotten broken into and how Exodus 14:13 brought her so much peace in a moment of heartbreak.
Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. Exodus 14:13 NIV
Thank you, Brittaney for your time and for sharing how God has been working in and around you! What a gift to hear how He is using you for His glory! Thanks again, sister. xoxo
God made this episode happen today!! God planted the seeds through my community of sisters in Christ to do this Workbook for you. My friend Christina Leavenworth, actually our first guest on the podcast back in early 2020, sparked the idea when she encouraged me to write out my goals and bucket list dreams through worksheets she got at a real estate conference in Austin, TX.
I loved doing that exercise so much that I thought it would be fun to make it Christian and show you where scripture encourages you to "write the vision" so you can see it (see Habakkuk 2:2-3).
You can download our Workbook to Broadcast His Love no matter your position in the link below. This is a free download.
The audio for this podcast and the workbook do not mirror each other exactly, so I would encourage you to listen to the audio to prepare your heart to read and fill out the workbook.
- The first two worksheets encourage you to Write the Vision.
- The next part has you Check Your Motives.
- The final part will encourage you to Take Action!
There are several times throughout the workbook encouraging you to pray and communicate with God, asking Him what He wants you to do.
Another sister in Christ, Dr. Patty Sadallah who is an author and hosts the Experience Jesus Podcast on PodBean encouraged me in writing this to focus on Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) which tells us, “For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’” She told me how in this verse God tells us He already has plans for us.
I read this workbook to my therapist, Sarah Murcko, and she recommended writing that it’s important to “ask God to align your desires with the plans He has for you.” Wow! How powerful!
We pray you leave this workbook, after you complete it, feeling comfortable communicating with God in prayer to ask God to align your desires with His plans for your life. Remember, He has plans for you!
A huge thank you to my sisters in Christ who helped me get the content of this podcast together for you. I’m in awe at how good and kind God has been to me to bring me great teachers of God’s word!
Towards the end of this podcast, we also hear from Pastor Randy Smith who used to pastor Grace Church in Sebring, FL and he also led the Great Commission Bible Institute, also in Sebring. He talks to us about the book of Ephesians from his YouTube video, here: https://youtu.be/WGEHpTFLKJw
Our prayer is that you see these spreadsheets, guests, and time with God as an encouragement in your walk with Christ, to strengthen your relationship with Him, and to give you comfort if you feel weary, sad, or anxious. God's got you and He has your future. Do you trust Him with your life? I hope so and if not, I pray this workbook is a great introduction to who He is and that He loves you deeply. God wants to spend time with you and He wants to talk with you. We know from Romans 8:28: "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” I don't want this to be just words. God is good and His love endures forever. He loves you! When you become a Christian who loves God, Romans 8:28 tells us then you have been called, which as Pastor Randy talks about means your identity is in Christ and your life has meaning and purpose in Christ Jesus! I am not perfect, but thank God I have been saved by His grace! Have you? The Lord knows His plans for you. Let’s surrender to His will and ways. Let’s do this!

Also, here’s a link to a list of 101 Truths About Our Identity in Christ … Sent to me from Dr. Patty! She loved it and I did too! We pray it helps you understand more of your true identity in Christ! https://reasonsforhopejesus.com/101-truths-identity-in-christ/#:~:text=%20Read%20the%20101%20Truths%20of%20who%20we,united%20with%20Christ%20through%20His%20death...%20More%20
Thanks for listening, and downloading the worksheets and I pray you all have a great week!!
Wow! This podcast was very humbling to me. The scriptures that our guest this week, Jamie Bateman said are encouraging her in this season are from Ephesians 3:14-19 NIV. She read how this passage talks about kneeling "in prayer to the Father and praying out of His glorious riches that he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being" (NIV). WOW! To think about HIS POWER being in you through His Spirit! This is great news!
I think you will learn more about this part of the passage from The Message Translation which says: "...I ask him to strengthen you by his Spirit—not a brute strength but a glorious inner strength—that Christ will live in you as you open the door and invite him in..." (from Ephesians 3:14-19 MSG).
Will you invite Him in?
Jamie read this verse over our guests and she read the entire passage changing you's to I's to make it more personal. Here is how she read it from the NIV translation:
14 For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom every family[a] in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you (she said "me") with power through his Spirit in your (she said "my") inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your ("my") hearts through faith. And I pray that you (I), being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Jamie is the Executive Director of Institutional Advancement at South Florida State College. She has a farm and she talks about her farm in the podcast ... Pretty funny! Love Jamie and her heart for God and people. I pray you all are drawn closer to Christ from this conversation.

Melissa Shoemaker is a dear friend of mine in Pensacola, Florida. We have children who go to the same school and we have known each other for years here in Pensacola. We love this city and we do talk about our community a bunch throughout this chat! Loved when she encouraged us to pause if we are not living abundantly.
She talks about SOZO and what the word means. Here is a link to more about SOZO, on Bethel's website: https://bethelsozo.ch/what-is-sozo/

Scriptures encouraging Melissa in this season are from Isaiah 60 verses 15-20 (NIV):
15 “Although you have been forsaken and hated, with no one traveling through, I will make you the everlasting pride and the joy of all generations. 16 You will drink the milk of nations and be nursed at royal breasts. Then you will know that I, the Lord, am your Savior, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. 17 Instead of bronze I will bring you gold, and silver in place of iron. Instead of wood I will bring you bronze, and iron in place of stones. I will make peace your governor and well-being your ruler. 18 No longer will violence be heard in your land, nor ruin or destruction within your borders, but you will call your walls Salvation and your gates Praise. 19 The sun will no more be your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you, for the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory. 20 Your sun will never set again, and your moon will wane no more; the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your days of sorrow will end.

We're excited for you all to take a listen to our new podcast introduction! Ginger DeVires does the main recording and our friends who have been guests on the podcast are the soundbites. Enjoy!
"Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too." Philippians 2:3-4 NLT
Kristeen Kidd runs the small groups at Echo Life Church in Pensacola, Florida and she’s also one of my dear friends in town. Hope y’all enjoy her instructions on "How to Start a Small Group" in this week's episode featured below. This week we are doing things a little differently. This week is more of a how-to episode to help you start a small group in your community for His glory. Kristeen and I recorded this video in our new studio named after my Dad who passed in January of this year. We call the studio where we record the podcast, "Scotto Albritton Studios."
If you’ve been wanting to start a small group but don’t know-how, we hope this is a good go-to guide to get you started. I love how Kristeen talks about the importance of the content you select for the study. Pray about what you pick and ask God to help guide you to pick the content He wants you and your group to study, for His glory. Let’s let the Holy Spirit lead our groups! Hallelujah! Thanks, Kristeen for your time and for sharing what God has shown you through hosting small groups and being a part of small groups for years!

Would you believe me if I told you, you have been sent here on earth for a God-given purpose? You have! Jesus tells us He was sent in Luke 4:43 NIV after Jesus had healed many people, and they knew He was the Son of God Jesus said -- "...I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent."
Like Jesus, we too have been sent to share the good news of Jesus.
Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” John 20:21 NIV
I learned more about this frame of mind (being sent on purpose by Jesus, for Jesus) when I read a book called "Sent" written by our guest this week, Heather Holleman, and her husband, Ashley. The book talked about living a life that invites others to Jesus.
Heather is a professor at Penn State and shared with us that she feels called to her neighborhood, family, and work. She said, "I believe it is no accident where you work, where your house is, what your career is, who your children are socializing with -- It makes life such a supernatural adventure."
Thank you Heather for coming on the podcast and sharing with us what God has on your heart!

Retired Police Chief of the Pensacola Police Department, Pastor of Jesus Holy Tabernacle Church in Pensacola, and husband with two adult children, David Alexander III joins us on the podcast this week. Wow! He is so soft-spoken yet willing to speak up for Jesus and what He has done, is doing, and has yet to do in his life. I am so grateful for this conversation. He was so kind to do this interview with us. I pray this conversation is an encouragement to you to use your position, no matter what it is, to broadcast God's love.
Wow! God is doing immeasurably more through the opportunity He has given me to do this podcast for his glory! This was our first recorded podcast in Scotto Albritton Studios which was my late father's name. He passed away in early January of this year and he loved radio and talking on a mic. I loved him so much and I miss him dearly. So my husband, Riley, and I decided to improve our studio and name it after my dad to carry on his legacy in this way for God's glory. What a gift from God to get to meet cool people like Mary Siders! God bless Mary! I loved this chat with Mary and I am so grateful for her obedience to follow God, trust Him and take a leap of faith to go all in and do this business.
Please connect with Mary -- Buy a whole bunch of her amazing and beautiful charcuterie boards, share this podcast with your friends and when you check out her socials and website, please let Mary know you heard her on Broadcast His Love! God is so good to me. He is blessing me with people like Mary. I pray you feel the same love as you download this episode and hear how God is using Mary to broadcast Jesus!

Let's pray for Ukraine and Russia. God loves both of the people there, so let's pray for them. In this audio, Kristeen Kidd leads us in prayer. She has come on the podcast before and now she is back to pray for these countries and the leaders there. This is a bonus episode to stop and pray for these countries. After this chat, Kristeen shared this link with me about how it is time for us to intercede with prayer for these countries. Here is that link: https://godtv.com/the-ministry-of-the-watchman-its-time-for-the-intercessors-to-arise/ Also, here are the scriptures we talked about before the prayer talking about being a watchman.
Renewal of Ezekiel’s Call as Watchman 33 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, speak to your people and say to them: ‘When I bring the sword against a land, and the people of the land choose one of their men and make him their watchman, 3 and he sees the sword coming against the land and blows the trumpet to warn the people, 4 then if anyone hears the trumpet but does not heed the warning and the sword comes and takes their life, their blood will be on their own head. 5 Since they heard the sound of the trumpet but did not heed the warning, their blood will be on their own head. If they had heeded the warning, they would have saved themselves. 6 But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes someone’s life, that person’s life will be taken because of their sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for their blood.’
7 “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the people of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. 8 When I say to the wicked, ‘You wicked person, you will surely die,’ and you do not speak out to dissuade them from their ways, that wicked person will die for their sin, and I will hold you accountable for their blood. 9 But if you do warn the wicked person to turn from their ways and they do not do so, they will die for their sin, though you yourself will be saved.
10 “Son of man, say to the Israelites, ‘This is what you are saying: “Our offenses and sins weigh us down, and we are wasting away because of them. How then can we live?”’ 11 Say to them, ‘As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! Why will you die, people of Israel?’
Ezekiel 33:1-11 NIV
WOW! Coming up on her one-year anniversary from when she found her breast cancer lump in her underarm, through a self-breast exam, Staci Leiferman talks to us about her breast cancer journey this year. Wow! What a God-given gift to hear about her story of survival! We get Staci!! In this chat, Staci walks us through HOW to do a self-breast exam. I am amazed at what I got to hear my friend talk about in her story. She is so strong! I had no clue about this season in her life when she gave herself a breast exam, knew something was wrong, and she persisted with her doctors telling them she felt like it was something more than what she was being diagnosed with. WOW! Talk about perseverance! How brave of our friend this week to do what she did and then tell us her story publicly! I feel so blessed from this chat and I pray you do as well... For His glory and your good! Please share this podcast with someone who is a breast cancer survivor or someone you think should do a self-breast exam... Since it's the 1st!
The Bible verse that Staci said is helping her in this season is: "I can do all this through him who gives me strength." Philippians 4:13 NIV

Another Bible passage we talked about was with the Women Who Supported Jesus:
LUKE 8:1-3 (GW)
8 After this, Jesus traveled from one city and village to another. He spread the Good News about God’s kingdom. The twelve apostles were with him. 2 Also, some women were with him. They had been cured from evil spirits and various illnesses. These women were Mary, also called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out; 3 Joanna, whose husband Chusa was Herod’s administrator; Susanna; and many other women. They provided financial support for Jesus and his disciples.
Yall have a great week and thanks for listening. Our prayer in each episode is that you are encouraged to broadcast God's love for all to see. We aren't perfect... We are His and we are living life on purpose to SERVE Jesus and serve the people He has called us to for His glory! In Jesus' name, Amen!
CORRECTION- Victor E. Frankl was an Austrian Neurologist, Psychiatrist, Philosopher, Author, and Holocaust Survivor. In this conversation, I said he was Australian. Sorry about that. He was Austrian.
Our guest this week is Chrissy Whisler and she is a long-time friend. She used to be a reporter at WFLA in Tampa Bay, Florida and she is now the Public Relations Manager at The Humane Society of Tampa Bay. We went to the University of Florida together and majored in Telecommunications, News.
In this conversation, we talked about the unexpected loss of Chrissy's mother. We talked about how God used such a terrible and bad thing for His good. I am humbled to hear how Chrissy can praise God through her pain. Jesus is KING! Friends, we are truly alive when we live on purpose for Jesus, using the gifts and talents HE has given us!
Here is The Hurt and The Healer song by Mercy Me we chatted about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xzaivDbu9c
Some of the verses we talked about:
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." Hebrews 13:8 ESV
The Wise and Foolish Builders
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.” Matthew 7:24-27 NIV

Thank you Jackie for your time and for coming on to share what God has on your heart! xoxo
This podcast is a repost from another podcast called, "Experience Jesus with Dr. Patty Sadallah." This is a bonus episode for us just to introduce you to Dr. Patty Sadallah's podcast. I love Dr. Patty, so when she asked us to put this recorded chat on Broadcast His Love, I was more than happy to post it. She recorded, hosted and edited this episode. Listen to the original episode on her page, here: https://pattyej.podbean.com/e/god-s-perspective-on-eating-drinking-and-being-merry-with-ricki-vann-stewart/
Here is this episode's description from her Podbean website:
"Dr. Patty and Ricki Vann Stewart, podcaster for Broadcast His Love, have a lively discussion about what the Bible and Jesus Himself have to say about eating, drinking, and being merry. God is the gift giver and loves to bless His children with the enjoyments of life. The Bible warns about overindulgence, but how do you know the right balance of enjoying the gifts from the Gift Giver and going too far? They discuss the Kingdom emotion of joy and how to find it. Both ladies tell some personal stories and share some laughs in the process. Jesus takes you on an adventure to show you the depths of His joy for you and how you can tap into His joy in your encounter experience with Him."
Thank you Dr. Patty for your time to educate me and whoever listening to this on eating, drinking, and being merry. I am very thankful for your friendship!
Amberlee Rogers is a wife and mom of three children down in central Florida. She is also the Academic Coach at Lakeview Christian School in Lake Placid. Her school is Kindergarten to 8th grade. I love Amberlee and I know you will too! She’s a light for Jesus. She doesn’t judge anyone and she loves people SO well! I pray you’re drawn closer to Jesus in this conversation to then use your position, no matter what it is, to broadcast God’s love!
The verses helping Amberlee in this season come from Habakkuk 3:17-18 NIV:
"Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior."
Then she challenged us to declare whatever darkness we are walking through in this season and pray this scripture out loud to Jesus: "Even though _____, I will trust in the Lord. I will be joyful in God my Savior."
Thank you, Amberlee for coming on the podcast, reading one of Louie Giglio’s books (there’s a link to it below), and then and challenging us with this scripture from Habakkuk like he does in this book below!

Jerica Moore, also known from our childhood as J-Rock joins us on the podcast this week! She is going to school to be a Registered Dietician and she is also the lead worship pastor at her church in Johnson City, Tennessee called Redeemer Community Church. I love Jerica and you will too! She has some beautiful insight on surrendering all to Jesus. I also loved when she talked about how she was getting filled up by the Holy Spirit in her small group. The last item I wanted to mention here to give you a little glimpse of our chat was how she broke down how we should look at diet and exercise. It was powerful, it was real and it was JUST what I needed to hear. Love you J-Rock. I pray for the person listening that you are drawn closer to Christ from this conversation. xoxo

Our guest on the last week of 2021 is the most beautiful woman inside and out! My grandmother is on the podcast this week! We call her "GranMarty" and you can too! She would absolutely love it if you called her GranMarty and told her you listened to her story. She was excited to do this for you! This episode is a rerun of her episode that first ran in 2020. From that conversation, I have had several people tell me they listened to her like she was their grandmother, which is just beautiful to me. I am so thankful for those sweet words. I know that is God through my GranMarty that gave the listener those good feelings. When I told my grandmother some of the positive feedback we were getting on her episode, she cried with gratitude! Please know as you listen to this episode, GranMarty is so grateful for you and for listening to her story. She doesn't have social media so if you wanted to tell her you'd probably have to pass by her at church or in the grocery store! Haha! My GranMarty has been through lots of ups and downs. She loved the Lord and I can tell you right now, even if she doesn't know you... She loves you too! So please enjoy this rerun of our chat. My GranMarty has always been a delight to our family, friends, and her former co-workers. So incredibly grateful she sat down with us in 2020 to walk through her past, tell her story and share some of her life lessons.
This episode was first aired in June of this year. This conversation with Kassie is one of our most downloaded episodes. I am taking some time off to be with family for the holidays. Enjoy this conversation with my friend Kassie Perry who is the owner, operator, and founder of The Perry Co. Boutique in Lake Placid, Florida.
Kassie is so encouraging! In this chat, she tells us how before her store came to mind, she prayed for God's will for her life. While she was praying for God's will, she said she loved her job at the time but she was praying specifically for God's will. She was praying to do something that would glorify Him, and to do kingdom work. What encouragement!
Kassie talked a lot about seeking God's kingdom first and making that a priority before starting something new.
She also said before the boutique opened, she and her family got together in the store and prayed, asking God for His presence to be in the store.
Thank you Kassie for this encouragement to seek God first. You are such an encouragement to me!!
She also talked about working for the Lord. She recommends while working to have a mindset that you are helping others while working for the Lord. Amen sister! This can be applied in all things! Great stuff.
God's word asks us to look to the interests of others (Philippians 2:4) ... so while we are working let's be helpful! She also encourages us to do what we do for Jesus! Colossians 3:23 in the New Life Version (NLV) version reads: "Whatever work you do, do it with all your heart. Do it for the Lord and not for men."
What a great challenge today. Thank you for listening and please follow Kassie over on Instagram and Facebook and tell her how awesome she is (haha!) !!

The Bible verse helping Rebecca out in this season is Psalm 37:4 which says -- "Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart."
We also talked about how some special women in the Bible supported Jesus' ministry. That reading was from Luke... Here:
Women Accompanying Jesus
"Soon afterward he went on through cities and villages, proclaiming and bringing the good news of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with him, and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's household manager, and Susanna, and many others, who provided for them out of their means." Luke 8:1-3 (ESV)
We also talked about being content. Rebecca shared how she feels being content is what helps her delight in the Lord.
Philippians 4:11-13 ESV "Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me."

Towards the beginning of this conversation, when Mrs. Liz explained how God's Word saved her when she couldn't function was SO powerful to me. I love how she reads her Bible most mornings.

This week we are going to talk about forgiveness and I am not talking about forgiving others.
No.
Right now I want to talk about you and God.
You asking God to forgive YOU. Sorry my friends who love grammar but this one is lacking proper grammar! Love you 😘
This all started when I went to an event with Lysa Terkeurst in Pensacola. It was fantastic! She told us about how God had taught her to forgive through scripture and therapy and practically living out each day… Seeking God. Taking every thought captive and all. Her message hit home. It was beautiful. God was there!!
Something I learned from her chat and wanted to share with you is a small part of her speech that I believe has changed my life… Bringing me closer to Christ in some of my worst mental moments in each day.
Lysa talked about asking for forgiveness for the bad thoughts you have about the person who has wronged you.
God’s word says in Psalm 103:12 ESV “As far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.”
Lysa challenged us to ask for forgiveness first. That’s revealed to me in scripture in Ephesians 4:32 ESV where it says to “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.”
Forgave is past tense… meaning you are already forgiven.
But we must confess our sins to God, we must recognize what we are doing that’s not right, even if it’s only a thought. We must take every thought captive. Reading 1 John 1:9 we learn about what will happen when we confess our sins. “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9 ESV
Some synonyms from the word confess are to admit, acknowledge, reveal or disclose.
The thoughts in my head need forgiveness …. I don’t know about you, but my negative thoughts need His forgiveness and I’ll tell you what happens… You will get a renewed mind.
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” Romans 12:2 ESV
Tests aren’t bad … it’s what you do in the test.
This is a prayer that’s helped me I when I’m in my head: “Lord, please forgive me for my bad thoughts… Holy Spirit, renew my mind. Lord, guide me in how You want me to think about _____. I need You!”
And let’s think about “Whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable if anything is excellent or praiseworthy think about such things.” Philippians 4:8
So let’s confess our sin… moment by moment… even if you have a trigger that springs up unexpectedly…. ask God to forgive you for those bad thoughts. Lysa spoke about triggers not being a bad thing… but a blessing! Think about it that way! Triggers being seen as a blessing has been mind-blowing for me. Love it!
“Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” Psalms 51:10
You don’t have to shout it or put your dirty laundry out in the open to everyone! This is about you and God. This is a prayer for his forgiveness for your thoughts that are false or hurtful or not kind. These thoughts can be to someone else or even yourself. “Lord, forgive me for these thoughts I have about ____.”
And here’s the best part!!! Though all of this I’m learning more about God!
“And have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.” Colossians 3:10 ESV
Get this -- As I’m learning more about Jesus … I AM BEING RENEWED! Yes and Amen! I pray you are as well. He is our strength. All of this has been a blessing for me mentally and I pray it has been a blessing for you. God reigns in all of this. He loves you!
Lamentations 3:22-23, "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
Also, Psalm 103 has really helped me with learning about asking for forgiveness from God.
Psalm 103
Of David.
1
Praise the Lord, my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
2
Praise the Lord, my soul,
and forget not all his benefits—
3
who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
4
who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
5
who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6
The Lord works righteousness
and justice for all the oppressed.
7
He made known his ways to Moses,
his deeds to the people of Israel:
8
The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in love.
9
He will not always accuse,
nor will he harbor his anger forever;
10
he does not treat us as our sins deserve
or repay us according to our iniquities.
11
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his love for those who fear him;
12
as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
13
As a father has compassion on his children,
so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
14
for he knows how we are formed,
he remembers that we are dust.
15
The life of mortals is like grass,
they flourish like a flower of the field;
16
the wind blows over it and it is gone,
and its place remembers it no more.
17
But from everlasting to everlasting
the Lord’s love is with those who fear him,
and his righteousness with their children’s children—
18
with those who keep his covenant
and remember to obey his precepts.
19
The Lord has established his throne in heaven,
and his kingdom rules over all.
20
Praise the Lord, you his angels,
you mighty ones who do his bidding,
who obey his word.
21
Praise the Lord, all his heavenly hosts,
you his servants who do his will.
22
Praise the Lord, all his works
everywhere in his dominion.
Praise the Lord, my soul.
One of my clients from my real job (I am a health insurance agent) texted me this scripture and I pray it draws you closer to Christ. She texted me Psalm 32:7-8 NLT which says, “For you are my hiding place; you protect me from trouble. You surround me with songs of victory. The Lord says, ‘I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.’” ~💜
To the one who is asking for God’s peace that surpasses all understanding today … This scripture is for you … from God’s word …
Let’s pray …
“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”
Colossians 3:15-17 NIV
So let’s refocus for His glory. God is in control. It’s all according to His timing. Let’s take every thought captive and ask God to forgive us for our negative thoughts. He will renew our minds for His glory.
“And have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.” Colossians 3:10 ESV
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” Romans 12:2 ESV
“Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.” Ephesians 4:32 ESV
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9 ESV

Before the chat with Beth Harris this week, we get an update from Krista Germeil with The Vilaj Ansanm in Jeremie, Haiti after a 7.2 magnitude earthquake hit Saturday killing at least 1,419 people (CNN).
Let's pray for Haiti. And if you want to give to their ongoing efforts in Haiti, here are two places where Krista recommends doing that, if you decide you want to give. This podcast is not telling you to give or encourage you to give. We are just giving you two places where you can give if you feel led to do so.

Love this chat with Beth Harris! Beth is the Executive Assistant to Dr. Ted Traylor who is the lead pastor at Olive Baptist Church.
In this chat, we talk about how it is so easy to start off a conversation saying "I, me or we" but as Beth tells us, she feels called to work to try to say what God is doing first and give Him the glory first.
Beth's favorite Bible verse helping her out in this season is Philippians 1:6 (NIV) which reads: "being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."
The Bible verse we talk about after she reads the verse that is helping her out in this season is Ephesians 2:10 (ESV) which reads: "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."
Here is a link to some verses that mention "one another." https://www.lhm.org/roc/2013downloads/robb_oneanother.pdf

Praying you experience God's goodness and sweetness this week! Thanks for listening.

Hey everyone! At the beginning of this podcast, we have a quick chat about a book called, "Believe Bigger" by Marshawn Evans Daniels. It's so good! I should be finished with the whole book by the time this podcast airs, but a story she shared in the book, I wanted to share with you to encourage you in your walk with Christ today. With Christ, each day we get has meaning and purpose... So let's do what we do for the Lord! If you want to, buy the book or see if you can check it out at your local library. Our downtown Pensacola main library was where I checked out this book.
I also talk about the Glorify App.
Pleaseeeeeee know that these are not advertisements. These are just two Christian platforms that are helping me in my walk with Christ and broadcasting God's love. Hope they encourage you to Christ!! It's all about Him.

This week with Tracee Smoak is encouraging, inspiring, and God-focused. I am so grateful for Tracee's time and for sharing what God has in her heart! She shares how she is currently in a season of transition and she gives God all the glory for putting everything together. Tracee talks about how timing for all things is from Jesus.
One of the scriptures she says is helping her out in this season is Isaiah 26:3 NIV which reads: "You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you."
The other scriptures she shares that are her life verses are also from Isaiah. And it is Isaiah 61:1-3 NIV. She read this on the podcast and I'd like to share the whole thing with you, in hopes to point you to Jesus! This passage is talking about the year of the Lord's favor:
"The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor."
Isaiah 61:1-3 NIV
Hope you enjoy this episode! Tracee is someone I look up to for how she loves Jesus, parents her children, and works for the Lord in all things. I hope you follow her business and her foundation! Links to connect are below!

Kassie Perry is the owner, operator, and founder of The Perry Co. Boutique in Lake Placid, Florida. And boyyyyyy does she have an exciting message for you today! Kassie and her husband started The Perry Co Boutique last year... What a year to open up a small business in a brick-and-mortar!
But here's where God uses this situation for His glory!! Kassie tells us that she prayed for God's will for her life for a year before she saw her store as an option. She said she loved her job at the time but she was praying specifically for God's will, to do something that would glorify Him, and to do kingdom work. What encouragement!
Kassie talked a lot about seeking God's kingdom first and making that a priority before starting something new.
She also said before the boutique opened, she and her family got together in the store and prayed, asking God for His presence to be in the store.
Thank you Kassie for this encouragement to seek God first. You are such an encouragement to me!!
She also talked about working for the Lord. She recommends while working to have a mindset that you are helping others while working for the Lord. Amen sister! This can be applied in all things! Great stuff.
God's word asks us to look to the interests of others (Philippians 2:4) ... so while we are working let's be helpful! She also encourages us to do what we do for Jesus! Colossians 3:23 in the New Life Version (NLV) version reads: "Whatever work you do, do it with all your heart. Do it for the Lord and not for men."
What a great challenge today. Thank you for listening and please follow Kassie over on Instagram and Facebook and tell her how awesome she is (haha!) !!

This week's podcast is an absolute honor and privilege to bring you! This week you are hearing a speech given by the President and CEO of the Florida Black Chamber of Commerce, Eugene Franklin. He gave this speech at the Rosamond Johnson Beach Day earlier this month in Perdido Key on Johnson Beach, which is part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore. This event was held by the Perdido Key Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the Gulf Islands National Seashore to honor and remember the life of Army Private Rosamond Johnson Jr.
In this speech, you will hear Eugene Franklin talk about his faith, upbringing, and some history about Private Johnson and his family. Eugene used the opportunity to broadcast God's love. I pray you are encouraged by his speech to also use your position, no matter what it is to broadcast God's love.

Thank you, Kaila!!

In this conversation with my dear friend, Ines Manship, she talks about the importance of knowing God. Ines tells us about a couple of hard times she has gone through and how God was with her all along. He was there with her through and through. She also breaks down the importance of having a relationship with God and what that looks like in her life. Very encouraging!
Another cool thing about Ines is that she and her husband have remodeled several homes by themselves. She tells us how those remodels are a lot like our walk with Christ. Ines said, "He sees what we can be. He sees the beauty in us."
The scripture Ines shares that is helping her out in this season is Colossians 3:10 NIV which says -- "and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator."

Love this week! There is so much I could say here about these two amazing guests but I am going to let the love they have for God through this podcast tell you who they are and what they are up to for the Lord and for His glory. So just push play and enjoy this conversation with my two new friends!
But I do want to tell you all this... Jesus wants to use your gifts and talents that He gave you for His good. And, this conversation is a reminder to me that even when we think what we are making and creating is small... If it is for the Lord... It can make a bigger impact than we could ever imagine! God is in the soul shaping business for His glory and what He can do is more than we could ever imagine. This interview reminded me that God can be working in and on something for His good and our good even when we forget His impact and power. I love how the Lord is using these women and I hope you all connect with them and tell them on their pages how their story has impacted you today, for the Lord. Thanks for listening... Truly grateful for your time.
Julia Dancaescu is a mom of twins and she is also a former teacher. I love her!! You will too!!
In this interview, she gives parents advice on how to teach their children to seek God by keeping an "open dialectic with God" in front of their children. She gives us some practical tips on how to do that by thanking God, praising God, and also voicing our concerns to God in front of our children.
Towards the end of the chat, she encourages those who are looking for 'their calling' to seek God and that "your purpose could be right in front of you." I love that part because this world does love to distract us from God who gives us life more abundantly.
The scriptures Julia shares that are helping her in this season comes from Ephesians 4:1-3 which says -- "As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace."
Thank you Julia for your time and for sharing what God has on your heart!
Becky Merlin shares her testimony and tells us how she is now helping others who have been sexually assaulted through her work with "The Secret Place" in Pensacola, Florida.

This week we are talking about a Bible verse that keeps life simple. It tells us that God requires us to do three things. “He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” Micah 6:8 ESV
I was reminded of this verse one day at work when a retired pastor told me all God wanted me to do was three things. Friends, I was leaning into whatever this nice man was about to tell me.
He held up his hand and said to do these three things and things will be better for everyone. “If our country would just do this we would be in a lot better shape,” he said. Holding up three fingers he said to “God wants us to act justly. Be honest. Do what is fair & right.” He said for the second thing God requires us to do is to “Love mercy. Don’t worry about what’s in your head. We need to focus on our hearts. God is looking at our heart.” And he said for the third thing God requires us to do is to “Walk humbly. God doesn’t look at our skin, He looks at our heart. God came to us from a lowly position. We are to do the same.”
Then he showed me his tai chi moves which were awesome. I tried them out and laughed the entire time. It was so fun!
We continued to laugh together as a group came together to try to learn his tai chi moves. He was a great teacher, very patient! But when we left the conversation, he said to me quietly the verse we talked about was from “Micah 6:8.”
God used that man to speak to me. I pray this scripture that I believe God put on His heart will also speak to you.
Here's the NIV version of this scripture, Micah 6:8 -- "He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."
No one is perfect. We all sin and fall short of the glory of God. But what do we do when we have troubles and trials that change everything? Do we turn to Jesus? Do we choose Jesus in our darkest hour?
The Bible says we will have troubles. “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 NIV
This week's guest, Kim Scott, encourages us to Jesus telling us how a tragedy in her life drew her to Jesus. From that trial, Kim has a new, energized boost to want to share His love with others, using platforms like TikTok and Instagram.

Christin Turner takes a deep dive this week into how to hear from God. In this podcast, she describes hearing God's voice in several ways but in one way she says God's voice is like a radio frequency and it's always playing, but do we have our radio tuned into His frequency to hear Him talking to you? Do you have your radio turned on? Are you tuned into Jesus? So good right!?
Christin such a trusted voice in my life. She is so tuned into Jesus and His voice. I pray you are drawn to God's voice and you hear from God in this episode.
Here is a link to the study she referenced in this podcast below in the hyperlink. Note that you have to pay to get this study, and there is also a free quiz: Prophetic Personalities – Truth to Table Also, below are the authors/speakers that have been helpful for Christin as she has learned to hear from God: * Graham Cooke * Kris Vallotton * Shawn Bolz
As a bonus! Christin wanted to share with you all a prayer she likes to pray before reading Scripture or anytime. She prays: "God, open my eyes to see the things of you more clearly. Open my ears to hear you more clearly. Open my mind to understand you. Open my heart to feel what you feel. And strengthen my will to obey." Towards the end of the podcast, Christin also talks about when she has felt like she is not hearing from God. This podcast is one of my favorites! Thank you Christin for your time! And, thank you for listening! If you have questions after listening to this podcast, email Christin at christinhturner@gmail.com
Dawn Barton is the best-selling author of Laughing Through the Ugly Cry. She encourages listeners in this interview to write if they feel called to write.
Dawn is a Joyologist, speaker, Jesus lover, and cancer crusher. Very grateful for her sharing how God has drawn her closer to Him in her different seasons.
Her favorite verse that is helping her in this season is about modesty. "I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God." 1 Timothy 2:9-10

This week we are talking about small groups and prayer with Ginger DeVries. To some, a small group may sound like a pretty intimidating church phrase. But Ginger explains the benefits of joining a small group for your daily walk with God.
Hebrews 10:24-25 brings everything home! It reads -- "And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near (Hebrews 10:24-25)."
So good. We need other Christ-followers to encourage us in the Lord, drawing us closer to Him and His goodness. The way you do small groups this year may be different than how small groups have looked in the past, but that's ok. We talk more about that in this podcast.
The scripture Ginger shares as her favorite verse helping her through this season is Zephaniah 3:17 which reads:
"The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.”
Ginger talks about small groups in Pensacola at Echo Life Church. You can check out their current groups, here: www.echolifechurch.com/groups
Ginger also talked about taking a spiritual gifts test to see what gifts God has given you. Here is the website she recommends in the podcast to go for more information: https://www.lifeway.com/en/articles/women-leadership-spiritual-gifts-growth-service
Last but not least! At the end of the podcast, we talk about how "faith comes from hearing." Here is that scripture: "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ." Romans 10:17

This is a fun one! Please enjoy hearing from the CEO and Co-Founder of Glorify, Henry Costa. We talk about his application that is free right now, called, "Glorify." You can download it at the time this podcast is airing for free, but Henry does say that could change... So just a heads up!
This app is awesome and it’s scripture focused, so that’s why I wanted you all to know about it. I pray this app encourages you all in your walk with the Lord.
This app has been a game changer for me with my quiet time. I usually listen to the Glorify daily devotional after my morning quiet time of reading the Bible and journaling a prayer to God in the morning. This app helps me get focused on the Lord even after I walk away from my Bible. So awesome right!?
I’m very thankful for this app and the people who have put it together and create the apps content. There’s new content daily!! The link to download their app and connect with them is listed below.
We are really thankful to hear from Henry and be encouraged by the work God is doing in him and his team to broadcast God's love!

This week, my friend Whitney Lee shares with us that God has given her a gift of discipline. So awesome! I have never met anyone like Whitney and I think you all are going to love her!!
I learned so much from Whitney in this conversation and I pray you do as well, for God's glory.
In this conversation, Whitney is talking with us from South Korea. She is married and living and working there at an international school. She is a P.E. teacher.
Whitney has been gifted by God with discipline. She tells us every morning she gets up for her quiet time/study time in the Bible and then she works out. She is diligent about seeking God while working out saying she wants to be prepared for what God wants me to do.
She said, "God is so good at using what we give Him." By working out and staying in shape she talks about how she aims to do good with what God has given her. She also talks about a recent struggle she went through after a knee surgery and about how painful her recovery was. But she said she learned through the process that "God will use me no matter where He has me."
Whitney is a dear friend of mine and I pray her encouragement finds you in a place ready to receive it and be encouraged by her for God's glory.
The book she talks about is called, "Every Body Matters." Here is a link to the book if you are interested in more information: https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/every-body-matters-strengthening-your-body-to-strengthen-your-soul_gary-l-thomas/330991/item/414545/?mkwid=%7cdc&pcrid=479706401736&pkw=&pmt=&slid=&plc=&pgrid=117123301190&ptaid=pla-1019266062864&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIl737nvmc7gIVDdbACh0fEg2-EAQYASABEgKT5vD_BwE#idiq=414545&edition=6674174
She shares Luke 22:31-33 “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”
And Colossians 4:2-4 "Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should."
Thanks for your time, Whitney Lee!

In the first part of the podcast, we talk with Krista Germeil. She and her husband Marc Donald run a formula program in Jeremie, Haiti. The program provides the child's formula and healthcare. The sponsorships are provided on an annual basis, so if you are interested in helping one of the children in their program know that it is an annual commitment. Please reach out to them for more information and if you would like to join them with financial support. Of course, your prayers also mean so much to their mission, so feel free to only support them in that way, if you feel lead.

Hope you enjoy this week's podcast! Praying it is a blessing for you.
Here's 15 minutes of motivation to do whatever you are doing for God's glory in 2021! We talk about how to make a vision board and how much God loves us!
“In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.” Proverbs 16:9
Merry Christmas! We talk about a lot this week. We are excited to celebrate Jesus' birth on Christmas morning!
This week we have on a lot of our friends. We have Christmas messages from some of our former guests. We have an interview with Miss Gloria at Loaves and Fishes Soup Kitchen in Pensacola, Florida. She talks about serving in a homeless shelter and soup kitchen.
After the interview, we hear from Mark Stockland with Haiti Bible Mission in Jeremie, Haiti. He gives us an update on their new church building project.
“Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool." Isaiah 1:18
Download the Advent study from Sarah's Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/stsandel/
We have a special bonus recording with author Sarah Sandel in front of this week's interview. Sarah reads day 15 in her Advent study which you can download for free on her Instagram page, here: https://www.instagram.com/stsandel/
If you have been reading through her Advent study (podcast #45) you know today's reading is about joy... So, enjoy! :) (Thanks Sarah!)
After Sarah reads day 15 -- We get to hear from the Founder and Executive Director of the House of Prayer Learning Center, Mrs. Shannon. She tells us about the power prayer has over our children. She also encourages us to put up scripture in our kids rooms (and our rooms) to encourage them into what God is calling them into.
Mrs. Shannon shares this scripture -- "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6 (ESV)
I love how Mrs. Shannon leads by example! She is a gift from God and friends... I pray you enjoy hearing what God has on her heart!
Be encouraged by both of my sisters in Christ, sharing what God has put on their hearts in this week's episode! All for God's gain and glory!
Life can be hard, difficult, and challenging, but as Sarah Whitfield puts it... Everything is not always rainbows, but it is an opportunity for God to win and get the glory.
Sarah breaks down discipleship and why we need it. She tells us how her church is building up disciples.
She says how having someone come into her life to hold her accountable has challenged her in ways she never imagined. This podcast really challenged me to reach out to a friend (who is like a Paul in my life) and ask her to not only pray for me but hold me accountable to the work God wants to do in my life, for His glory. Thank you, Sarah!
She shares 2 Timothy 1:7 which says "For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline." She also shares her devotional that talks about surrendering everything to God through the process as you are becoming fully developed for what He has called you to do.
I pray you to enjoy the process and know God has a purpose in your process. You are called to serve Him, and have hope for His kingdom, in whatever you do.
Connect with Sarah on Facebook or through her email at sarahd.whitfield@gmail.com.
Thank you Sarah for your time and for sharing what God has on your heart!
Advent started on Nov. 29th of this year. However, when Sarah Sandel wrote her book called, Advent, in 2019, it started on December 1st, 2019. So this year as we dive into the same book she wrote last year, we will start on Dec. 1, 2020, because that is how the calendar is written in her book, so here we go!
Let's read Advent together (if you'd like to) and I look forward to hearing how it goes for everyone.
Let's keep Sarah Sandel's Instagram as our hub for communication and do this reading together.
Let Sarah know how God is working on your heart through reading... If you want... @stsandel and we also have a podcast Instagram @broadcasthislove.
Let us know how God is working on your heart through reading her book in this season if you decide to do so. Having a community is so special, so know you have one here. :)

She talks about Psalm 61:1-2 which says: "Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer; from the end of the earth I call to you when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I"
She also talks about Isaiah 9:2 "The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned."
She reads Psalm 16:6-9 which says: "The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance. I will praise the Lord, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me. I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure,"
And she also shares her love for Colossians 1:15-20 how this scripture has held her this year. "The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross."

She is author of the bestselling book, Let Your Heart Out, podcast host of the show, It's Not About the Food, and Creator of the HEART Method: a self-led therapy tool helping with emotional self-awareness and resiliency.
She breaks down why not to use a scale and how mirrors can have an impact on us. Dr. Stefani is an expert in her field on eating disorders. She has worked with thousands of people and I couldn't be more grateful for her time on the podcast. She shares Jeremiah 29:11 as the verse that is helping her through this season: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Kristi Overton Johnson started waterskiing professionally when she was a young child. She continued on for years later becoming a professional waterskier and even a world champion water skier. She competed all around the world, including Australia! So awesome!
She said she always knew God but didn't understand the relationship with Him very well. But God got ahold of her heart in the most awesome way when she went through a few serious medical issues followed by several surgeries.
In the podcast, she tells us that’s when she took a line she had used for years to tell the person who was driving the boat while she skied behind: "Hit it!" She said when she would yell “Hit it!” to the boat driver, then the driver knew she was ready to ski and get off the dock.
I love this! The same has been true in her walk with Jesus. She said "Hit it!" to Jesus and her life of loving Him has been one wild ride that she never dreamed of. Now, Kristi speaks all around the nation in prisons and has a magazine that she founded and published that gets distributed in prisons. She tells us it doesn’t cost the prisons anything to have these magazines in their prison. If you or someone you know would like to have Victorious Living magazine in their area prison contact the team at the magazine in the link below for Victorious Living.
To me, this story is crazy. But I have learned sometimes, that’s just how God works. Id never imagine Kristi having a prison ministry... Nationwide for that matter! God can do what we see as impossible and make it possible.
Also, Kristi shared Revelation 12:11 -- "And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony. And they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die."
Let's overcome with Jesus!!
Here's a great worship song with this verse in it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8AB0vUU038
Also, we talked about Ephesians 3:14-21 ESV "For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, ..."

Thanks, Kylie for the info!

Please show her some love with a follow, comment, and share!
In the podcast, she shares her favorite verse that is helping her in this season and she tells us about how Luke 12:2-3 has played an impact.
"The time is coming when everything that is covered up will be revealed, and all that is secret will be made known to all. Whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered behind closed doors will be shouted from the housetops for all to hear!" Luke 12:2-3 NLT

Also, we talked about Colossians 3:15-17 at the end to encourage you in your journey to seek peace, be thankful, and to do it all for God's glory: "Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. ... And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him."
It's just an awesome scripture that really pumps me up and I pray it encourages you! Also, the book we talked about (which is a Kathryn Daniel recommendation is) called, "Who Moved My Cheese? : An A-Mazing Way to Deal with Change in Your Work and in Your Life." A link to that book to check it out is, here: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Who-Moved-My-Cheese-An-A-Mazing-Way-to-Deal-with-Change-in-Your-Work-and-in-Your-Life-Hardcover-9780399144462/451746?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=101004036&&adid=22222222227010664395&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=53108874888&wl4=aud-430887228898:pla-49856958419&wl5=9011659&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=135896607&wl11=online&wl12=451746&veh=sem&gclid=Cj0KCQiAhZT9BRDmARIsAN2E-J1nsqMpLNZBWrruEit_NFII-_UlLteoAo0hRFy1af3XZsrluGmY_wYaAnBLEALw_wcB

Myra Monroe is a wife, mother of two children, and pastor at Melrose United Methodist Church. She runs a mission called, "Anchored to Christ." She tells us in this podcast that she found out one New Years' Eve that she would have a baby girl and her baby girl would have down syndrome. She also tells us that in this hard season she experienced the best season of her life. That is God!
She shares Matthew 6:25 where it says to not worry. “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?"
She also encourages us to have fun in our faith and get outside and enjoy God's creation in fellowship! I love that!! And it's a good reminder, especially today!! :)

She tells us she says this verse to herself before her feet hit the floor every morning.
She says a verse that is helping her through this season is Psalm 46:5: "God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns." (ESV)
God's word is LIFE! I pray you are drawn to God's word from this podcast today.
Y'all are going to LOVE Sunny Lawrence! She's one of those women you meet and instantly want to be best friends with. She is fun, happy, chill, and a go-getter.
When preparing for this interview, the first Bible verse that came to mind was Proverbs 17:22 which says, "A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones."
This conversation was medicine to my bones! This one is for the mommas who are praying for peace from Jesus in this season.
This podcast is also for the woman who is looking to bring more encouragement to her spouse with his goals and dreams.
My sister Sunny is WISE in that she has been there for her husband James when he wanted to go on a wild and challenging adventure across the nation to do 50 Ironmans in 50 states in 50 days. She didn't say yes let's do this now when James presented the idea... She said to wait first and then at the right time, they'd go all in. And they did. I love how she describes their conversation before they went on this wild adventure across the nation and then how they moved forward to accomplish a challenging goal together... with their five children! I told you she's awesome! Love this chick and yall will too.
Be encouraged by my sister in Christ, Sunny Lawrence!

Ally Mills Dorrough lost her mom after her mom was raped and murdered while she was pregnant with what would've been Ally's younger brother. Ally tells us how God showed her how to forgive the man who did this terrible act. Ally gives God all the glory.
Ally shares Ephesians 1:18-19: "I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe.

Terri Merrick is the Executive Director and Founder of the Pensacola Dream Center. Terri tells us it was after a mission trip to India that God put it in her heart to be on mission right where God had planted her, in Pensacola. Now she runs a mission that is doing weekly service to people who need it. Her mission, through God's guidance and help, provides food for the hungry, mentoring for those who struggle with addiction or who have been a victim of human trafficking and so much more. I love Terri. She isn't affiliated with any local church. She is all about unity. She is about JESUS and His Word. Terri serves the Lord. Be encouraged by Terri's chat and then at the end of this podcast I share some encouragement from Tim Tebow's book called, "Through My Eyes."
Terri shares Hebrews 10:34-39 which says:
34 You suffered along with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions. 35 So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.
36 You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. 37 For,
“In just a little while, he who is coming will come and will not delay.”[f]
38 And,
“But my righteous one will live by faith. And I take no pleasure in the one who shrinks back.”
39 But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.

We also talk about perseverance and giving everything to God from a small section of one of Tim Tebow's book's called "Through My Eyes."
Dr. Rodney Bensley works in Murfreesboro, Tennessee as a vascular surgeon. He tells us recently the Lord put it on his hear to start talking to patients about their faith when it was appropriate. He tells us he has led one of his patients to Christ days before he passed away. Thank God for doctors like Dr. Bensley. Please keep him and his team in your prayers in this season of COVID-19.
Dr. Bensley says he and his family are leaning on Psalm 91 a lot in this season and they especially love, Psalm 91:7 which says -- "A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you." He says he is praying this scripture over his family and believing God will take care of his family.
Thank you, Dr. Bensley, for your time and for sharing what God has on your heart!
Katie and Luis Zamot have started a new business, making candles. Their company is called Milkglass Candle Co. The reason why they started this candle company with their three kids was to help out other families financially while they go through the adoption process.
Katie and Luis have two children of their own and they adopted their youngest son, Shepard about a year ago. The couple says God has led them to help others financially who have it on their hearts to adopt as well. Their story of adoption was painful and joyful... It was expensive and it didn't turn out as they had originally planned but as they say in this podcast, "Everything was right." Katie says they would walk through it all again because of how God has walked with them through it and made what was not good on paper, good for them. That is God.
I am thankful for this couple, for their business and for sharing their story. Please show them some love on their Instagram! xoxo

"I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." Galatians 2:20
Baltimore Meteorologist, Meg McNamara tells us how she surrendered her life to Jesus and He gave her peace. She tells us she struggled with alcohol, so she surrendered it over to the Lord. She credits her success to Jesus!
Meg is a dear friend of mine. I hope her story is a beautiful reminder that God loves you, He created you and your life has meaning/value.
Meg is a great friend to me and I cherish her time and for her openness on this podcast! Thank you Meg for sharing your story!
The verses she shares that are helping her through this season are Proverbs 3:5-6 which says: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."
Thank you, Meg!

Let's get our workout on with our very own personal trainer, Ali Hill! Ali has been in the fitness industry for more than a decade and this week on "Broadcast His Love" she shares 1 Corinthians 10:31 "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."
Ali tells us it's important to not try to be perfect or be the best at working out but instead to focus on being intentional about being active and eating healthy. She says she started working in the fitness industry by teaching Zumba classes. She said, "It was so fun, we would be so sweaty doing those dances. It was a really fun time."
Ali grew up in Ashville, North Carolina, and says her childhood home was pretty active. "We valued fitness, sports, and exercise daily. So I grew up doing that every day and seeing my parents exercise every day. I just really liked it (exercise).", said Hill.
However, fitness hasn't always been easy for Ali. She tells us she used to idolize how she wanted to look. "I think it really started to shift with I was pregnant with my twins. I couldn't work out." She said it was then that she needed to understand from God's word what her best self was supposed to look like. She shares the Philippians 3:20-21 which reads, "But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself."
Hill also shares with us what she has learned what she should be striving for and it's not what most people think. "It may not be the Instagram body that a lot of us picture. It is going to be a body that can move, that can walk, that can run, that can lift things without hurting themselves and run with our kids without getting out of breath and a body that feels good because we didn't eat a whole pizza." Don't you love Ali!? She knows from experience how hard it is to maintain a healthy body and she is working hard daily to be a great example of that. Thankfully we can follow her health journey and be encouraged by our sister in Christ!

Executive Mortgage Loan Originator at Southeast Mortgage and Pensacola Branch Manager, Angela Lane, tells us how we can be good stewards of our finances starting today.
She tells us the first thing to do in staying on top of our finances is to know Hebrews 12:11 which says "No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it."
Angela is passionate about this subject and says managing our money is not easy, but if we make a budget and build an emergency fund, it will be beneficial in the long run.
One of the lessons Angela mentions from Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University is the importance of making a budget and following that budget so we will "live like no one else, so we can give like no one else." She says that some people don't like the thought of being constrained to a budget but actually having a budget is freeing so that your priorities are cared for and then you can do things like go on a date night and/or by a birthday gift.
She explains the importance of having self-discipline in following your budget so that you can give and pay for your expenses.
Angela is a loan officer and says from her experience that it's super important for people to have an emergency fund.
From Dave Ramsey's class, she knows that an emergency fund starts with putting aside at least $1,000 in case something comes up that needs to be paid for. She says in the class, the first thing Dave encourages is to put aside your emergency fund (as quickly as possible) for when something comes up that needs to be paid for. In this podcast, Angela gives some ideas to get an emergency fund raised.
We also talked about Publix's BOGO deals that you can find online. Here is a link to that: https://www.publix.com/savings/weekly-ad/bogo?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=PX23_09_031_09_0_T&utm_term=publix%20bogo%20now&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIg9vDpOnP6gIVyrzACh1AHw4ZEAAYASAAEgLCe_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
At the end of the podcast, I talk about a free download for a monthly budget plan. Here is the free download for that spreadsheet. Please print this off when you go over it with your spouse or if you are filling it out yourself: https://cdn.ramseysolutions.net/pdf/fpu/fpuonline/monthly_cash_flow_plan.pdf?_ga=2.144190837.1362513384.1570323025-1315366963.1570323025

"Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised." Proverbs 31:30
This week we are talking about TRUE BEAUTY! To me, there's no better person to talk about the beauty each one of us can have (besides Jesus lol) is Stephanie Hadwin. Stephanie has spent more than twenty years in the beauty industry and she has her own store in New Jersey.
At her shop called "Hadwin House," she makes her own candles and other goods to sell. She is a wife and mom to two boys. Her family helps her in her shop and she takes time to meet her customers and share God's word with them. In this episode, she tells us she has some Bibles for sale in her shop, and the other day she gave a woman a Bible who said she had never held a Bible! Wow! We love what God is doing through you, Stephanie! She is a true Proverbs 31 woman, right!? Totally a beautiful moment for sure!
Also, Stephanie did my hair as a little girl all the way to college and she did my hair and make up for my wedding! Stephanie is a trusted voice in my life for all things beauty. I pray God seeks you and finds you in this conversation and reminds you how beautiful God made you. I pray you remember that you are FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE. I pray this verse gets written on your heart and mind to KNOW Psalm 139:14 (ESV) which says "I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well."
I love this podcast because my girl Stephanie goes to God's word when she shares what true beauty is and y'all as she reveals in this podcast, true beauty is NOT what you think. She tells us that true beauty is defined in God's word.
We talk about what we have to work on to be beautiful inside and out which we can find in Philippians 4:8-9 (NLT) which says "And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you."
We talk about a lot of scripture in this podcast as it pertains to beauty. We even get into some controversial topics that people have twisted and made women look like they are not accepted and allowed to serve in the church. For that conversation, we talk about 1 Timothy 2:9.
Besides reading your Bible, I'd like to share this video from "The Bible Project" video that helps to explain 1 Timothy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RoqnGcEjcs
Here's the book Stephanie references that she recommends and has read, The Sassy Girl's Checklist for Living, Loving and Overcoming: https://www.amazon.com/Sassy-Checklist-Living-Loving-Overcoming/dp/0736918272

We're doing something new this week! Over the next few weeks, we will be focusing on "Bettering Women from God's Word." Every Tuesday, we will talk to some of my friends who are experts in their field about what God has shown them through His Word. We will talk about finances, mental health, physical health, and true beauty.
Our first guest in "Bettering Women from God's Word" is psychologist, Rebecca Yasunaga. She talks about our mental health. Rebecca tells us it's important to know feelings of stress and worry are valid, but it's how we move forward from those emotions that matter.
In this podcast, she breaks down somethings you can do today to get out of your head with toxic thoughts and move into the purpose God has for you.
The "homework" she gives us is just that... work we can do at home, today.
I pray if you have any feelings of stress and worry to pray about it, let God know what's going on in your mind, I pray you tell a trusted friend about it and if needed (totally fine if you do) contact a mental health expert, like Rebecca.
We are not meant to do this life alone! "The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” Genesis 2:18 (NIV)
The scripture Rebecca shares in this podcast that is helping her is -- "He says, 'Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.'" Psalm 46:10 (NIV)
Love yall! Have a great week! Life is not meant to be lived alone! If you can't see people physically because of quarantine, pick up the phone, and (like Kenny Chesney says) "Call your mom!" Kidding but seriously... Call someone who you trust and tell them what's going on. It'll be awesome!
It's my pleasure to introduce you to Pensacola real estate agent, Peggy Butler. She's originally from Nashville, Tennessee but now calls Pensacola, Florida home. In this podcast, Peggy tells us it was her dream as a child to live in Pensacola and marry a man in the music industry.
She thanks God that her dreams came true! She ended up marrying Larry Butler who was a legendary producer in the music industry. He worked with many artists including but not limited to Johnny Cash, Mac Davis, Conway Twitty, Dolly Parton, and more. In Larry's book called "Just for the Record" Kenny Rogers (who wrote the Foreward in the book) credits his success to Larry. What a sweet and beautiful thing to write from a fellow music industry legend! Larry's stories in the music industry are one for the record books... That's for sure! I am reading his book now and some of the things he experienced seem out of this world. Larry seemed to have lived a fun life full of adventure.
In this conversation, Peggy talks about some of her encounters with the musicians her late husband Larry worked with, and your jaw will drop at the names she mentions. Peggy has lived on the front lines of country music. Thank you Peggy for sharing those stories!
Peggy also shares Luke 6:31 as her favorite verse: "Do to others as you would have them do to you." - Luke 6:31 (NIV)
Y'all please give it up for my dear friend Peggy as she shares her story on "Broadcast His Love!" Feel free to share it with your friends and please leave us a review on iTunes!

Ashley Hartwell is a mom of five who has served our nation in the U.S. Army and she is a registered nurse. You can tell when she talks, but Ashley is one of those women who want to set the world on fire for Jesus and it's awesome!
In this episode, she is not afraid to share her story. She is bold in talking about her past of rape, infidelity, and her former issues with trust.
Ashley's story is a reminder of why this podcast is an honor and a privilege to be involved in.
In God's word, David writes in Psalm 66:16 “Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will tell you what he did for me.”
David wanted to tell everyone what God had done for him, through his testimony and what he had been through. Ashley's story is a reminder that our God is a forgiving God and a loving God.
"Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love." 1 John 4:7-8
The scripture Ashley shares that she says is helping her through this season is Philippians 2:3-4 (NIV) and it says 3 "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others."
Also, I wanted to reference one of the scriptures we talk about. It's James 1:23-25 "Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it-not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do."
Love y'all and thanks for taking the time to hear my friend Ashley's story!

First. I need to say that we don’t start talking about the meat of this episode until it’s brought up in conversation at around 15 minutes. So if you’re here to hear how to help the community that Krista and her family are in, please fast forward to about 15 minutes into this conversation to hear what’s going on around them. In the beginning, we do a lot of catching up. My husband and I met Krista and her family a couple of years ago while visiting Haiti Bible Mission in Jeremie, Haiti. HBM is an organization we love and support!! ❤️
Krista Parada Germeil, her husband Mark, and their two children live in Jeremie, Haiti. Mark is from Haiti and Krista moved there about 8 years ago. She is from Virginia. Recently, the couple celebrated their 6th wedding anniversary.
At the same time, they're celebrating another year of marriage, they’re also experiencing a massive need around them. According to Krista and her team, people in their community are going multiple days without food because they are in a 5-month drought and the prices of food have gone up. Instead of locals being able to eat beans (which is what they would be growing, harvesting, and eating), they’re only eating things like spaghetti (noodles) and white rice. She says people in their community on average make about $5 a week and a can of beans in American dollars is about $1. In the podcast, she talks about one of her team members who says he knows of several families who are going a couple of days without food, due to the drought, and the price of food has gone up.
Right now, Krista says that she and her family are providing food packs for families with beans, which are a big deal to the people around them. She says there is also a church helping them out by matching $1,500 to go to food packs. She wrote in an email after recording the podcast that -- “We are actually in the midst of a $1,500 matching grant being raised for food packs. We have $1,000 raised and are $500 away from reaching our goal!"
Krista says they're requesting money for food packs through Jeremie Christian Mission — under the category of food outreach. She says one food pack is $30. She tells us in the food packs are a 50-pound bag of rice, 11 cups of beans, 29 packs of spaghetti, and a gallon of oil.

On this podcast, giving a voice to the voiceless is a BIG DEAL and a massive priority. Proverbs 31:8-9 (MSG) says “Speak up for the people who have no voice, for the rights of all the down-and-outers. Speak out for justice! Stand up for the poor and destitute!” That's one of my prayers for this podcast overall and this episode.
The verse Krista shares that's helping her get through this season is Ephesians 2:4-19 (NIV):
4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
THANK YOU for listening and sharing!
Nicole Jones is a lifestyle reporter and newscast director at WLTZ First News in Columbus, GA. She tells us she got her degree in art but God moved her to work communications when she least expected it. She has three children and is a single mother. She believes in working hard and leading by example to her kiddos... One of which is about to graduate high school! Nicole is one of those people you meet who treats you better than you should be treated because she has Jesus in her heart. I loved working with her at WLTZ. We faced a lot of breaking news together and it's an honor to have her share her story on this podcast.
In sharing her story she talks about Matthew 6:25-34 and how God used that scripture to change her heart and mind.
Do Not Worry 25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[a]?
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Cristy Allen is one of those people you meet and know she is confident in Jesus. She's a Registered Nurse with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and she has an extra certification in critical care nursing, making Christy a Critical Care Registered Nurse.
This spring, when she heard about the need for skilled nurses in larger cities across America, she called her friend who is a traveling nurse. Christy asked her friend if her company needed help and that friend got her in touch with the right people.
When Christy got the job as a traveling nurse in the New York City area, she had to resign from her job in Pensacola, Florida and head for the big apple. At the hospital she has been assigned to in New York, she works with those in critical care battling COVID-19.
Through Christy's story, you will hear how God has been with her every step of the way.
We love you, Christy! You and your patients are in our prayers!
Mignon Francois is famous nationwide as a baker who makes amazing cupcakes. But more importantly, she will tell you, she works daily to be used by God in her work. She is a boss, a mom, a baker, an encourager and a teacher of God's word all while she makes delicious, fluffy cupcakes with sprinkles!
Her business is successful (look her up online for her work with Dave Ramsey) but she gives God all the glory.
I am super thankful for Mignon's time to share her story and what she is currently walking through. Times are not easy but she chooses joy.
Earlier this spring, her Nashville business got hit by a tornado and now both of her businesses are facing the worldwide pandemic from the coronavirus. Her business in New Orleans is closed for the time being because of how the virus is impacting that area.
Mignon's story of perseverance from her past and from what she is walking through now is enlightening. The way she is seeking God in this time is encouraging!
Please send Mignon a shout out on her social media pages and thank her for hanging out with us on "Broadcast His Love." We love her and appreciate her time, as well as yours!

When you think of education, I am sure you think of a tough curriculum with books, exams, and weekly agendas. Our guest, who is an educator, working in Tallahasse, Dr. Angela Long is less interested in the books people are reading to pass a test and more focused on each student's heart. No matter their age, she wants everyone to know they have a God-given purpose and that growing their God-given gifts will lead to the career God has designed for them. Be encouraged today from this inspiring message from my dear friend since college, Dr. Anegla Long!

This one hits home on every level! Andrea Burks, LMHC breaks down the mind and how we are processing the information we tune into... Whether that's from watching the news or stressing out with everyone home and/or working. Andrea breaks down where our anxiety comes from and then teaches us how to balance our thoughts and mind to be our best. She encourages prayer in this process and I love that! I will need to listen to this episode on repeat for the next 30 days. Love y'all!

This is a special podcast because we are in a unique season with this Coronavirus. It seems like there are new developments with this virus every day. Developments that continue to encourage us to stay indoors and stay a safe distance away from others. In the mix of all of this concern and change, small businesses, like many others are suffering. In this podcast, we talk to a couple of my friends who have small businesses. They tell us about how God is helping them through this tough season and... They encourage us!! I was not expecting to be fed by those who are facing a hard time... But wait until you hear what they have to say!!
First, we have a conversation with my friend Nan who has a bed and breakfast in Gainesville, Florida. Then, we will hear from an artist, a personal trainer and a photographer. My friend who is a photographer tells us that she is offering a free service for small business owners who need pictures of their products, to then sell those products online. She does ask that you pay the shipping costs to get your products to her to photograph. We have more information on what this rockstar photographer is doing to help small businesses in this podcast. Please reach out to her on her Instagram for more information.
Thanks for listening!!
Friends of the podcast and dear friends to my husband and I, Mark and Krista, have a special message to share with you all from Jeremie, Haiti.
I first heard of what they were going through in a post they put up online, sharing with their friends what was going on in the Haitian government and how they are trying to help the local hospital in their community. Before there was this coronavirus, their community was already limited to their resources. Now their medical team has other small and basic needs.
If you want to follow their mission and if God is leading you to give to what they are doing in Jeremie, you will find them on Instagram. Their Instagram name is @the_vilaj_ansanm. When you're there, please thank them for their time on this podcast sharing what is happening in Jeremie. We love them so much!
Let's pray for our friends, Krista and Mark as they continue to serve the Lord in Jeremie, Haiti.
