Ministry For Her: Recent Episodes
Nikki Black
Nikki Black is a pastor wife with a blended family of 5. In this podcast she is getting down to the real and raw bits of ministry life, wife life, and (blended) family life. Building everyday women up in their walk with Christ and showing them that it is ok to show the real you in a filtered world. Equipping you with scripture, resources, and just advice along the way. Also, helping other pastor wives know that their ministry matters and they are more than just a title in the church.
Ready to unlock the power of a 10-minute daily walk combined with prayer? I invite you on a journey of spiritual exploration, where God's creation is our backdrop. Autumn's vibrant colors and crisp air set the stage for our fall prayer walks. Trust me, it's not just a walk in the park, but a transformative experience that deepens your relationship with Him.
Ever imagined how forgiveness could act as a key to open your heart to God? Or pondered why wisdom should be the first request in our prayers? I bring you an enlightening discussion on these topics, unfolding Proverbs 4:4-9, to help you follow God's commands and develop good judgment. Learn to disconnect from distractions, and embrace the silence to truly connect with God. As you stroll, absorb the beauty of His creation and give thanks for His countless blessings.
But we don't stop at just talking about these walks. I invite you to join me as I walk through this spiritual journey. Share your experiences and thoughts with me on Instagram and Facebook. Whether it's enjoying the fall foliage, or experiencing a revelation during your walk, I'd love to hear about it. So, grab your jackets, step outside, and let's engage in this prayerful communion with God amidst His awe-inspiring creation.

Ever wondered how to create a Saturday morning routine that’s not only soothing but also spiritually uplifting? Allow me to guide you through my cozy fall mornings that weave together the warmth of a Nespresso coffee, the sweet aroma of fall candles, and the profound wisdom of Bible studies. My ritual starts when the cool autumn morning is still fresh, and it's just me, my sleepy cat, and the quietude of a sleepy house. I revel in this solitude, immersing myself in the comforting passages of the Bible or a fall-themed devotional book, savoring my coffee, and enjoying light breakfast bites.
I dive deeper into the Bible through my online study group, Bible Study Fellowship (BSF), where we are currently exploring the book of John. Though the tranquility of these mornings is sometimes replaced by the convenience of the couch and Netflix, it's these spiritual mornings that bring me a sense of purpose and inner peace. While these moments of solitude and spirituality are precious, they are not unrealistic or unattainable. Join me as I share more about my morning routine, favorite fall activities, and even my favorite fall devotional book. Let's make the most out of these beautiful, cozy fall mornings together.

Have you ever looked at a girl in a magazine or a movie and thought man I wish I had her body!? I wish I had bigger boobs, smaller waist, thinner thighs, thicker hair, ect. ect. We are all guilty of wanting to change some things about ourselves, that is ok. What isn't ok is how we body shame our own bodies instead of making it the best we can for the Holy Spirit.
Your goal weight will not make you a better Christian!!
Our goal should never be self development and weight improvement. We need to focus on character development and heart improvement.
Hope you enjoy this episode
