Hi! I'm Amy Kugler! After walking closely with Jesus for almost a decade I have found true identity. I've spent the last 8 years, tuning into the voice of the Lord. While on a mission trip I hear the Lord speak to me "Behold Me, Beloved" since then those words have continued to wreck my heart and life. On this podcast we will dive into the meaning and ways that a single phrase has and will continue to push me to live recklessly in love with the Creator. My hope is that this phrase or one like it wrecks your world and you find true identity in the One True King. www.beholdmebeloved.com
Hey, I'm back and have missed you, missed this, but mostly missed sharing about Jesus. Check this new episode out on the changes that have been made and a glimpse into the things He has been teaching me on His Holiness.
This time with Tammie Smith will impact you in so many ways. She teaches us how to find our identity by using unique tools, The Word of God and stand on the True of who God is and who He says we are. I really enjoyed talking with her and learning form her Counseling background as well as all of her life experiences.

This conversation with Danielle Drake is so powerful. She speaks so much truth about what she isn't so that she can identify who she is. Sometimes we get hung up on the things the world wants us to think we are instead of remembering who we are. Danielle shares so much about her life, what she has overcome, and how Jesus has spoken to her through it all. She has even been pulled over for worshiping in her car. How funny is that?

After much prayer over this podcast and encouragement from many of the listeners, I felt like a pause, reflect, and teach was really the next moment here on Behold Me, Beloved. I love learning about all the Lord is doing in and through my network of people. I also love learning and growing in that same way and this episode is just a little teaching and reflecting on just that.

She tells us all the ways she has learned and grown when it comes to understanding God's power.

Liz Rowland has the sweetest soul and has taught me so much. Not only does her career choice as a nurse and soon to be SANE nurse show this, but also her heart for all nations. As we chat about all things faith, life, friendships, and mission trips, she reminds us that we are NEVER, EVER ALONE when we know Him as a Father and Friend. She has seen the way God has orchestrated all things together for her good and His glory through people and experiences. After feeling and responding to the stirring to serve as a missionary again she shares some sweet moments and memories while serving on Mercy Ship. Those very moments allow her to see more of how the Lord orchestrates all things together in everyones lives around the world.

We are all made on purpose for a purpose and discovering that is a beautiful thing. Alex tells us how taking ownership of her faith that lead her to knowing she was made on purpose and allows that to lead her life. She also dives into some counseling practices that have helped her and others heal and grow. She is such an inspiration to me and so many around her. Alex and I had so much fun chatting about life, friendship, careers, and our love for Jesus. After 28 years of doing life together in all these areas we have learned a lot about Jesus, unconditional love, and friendship. I hope our conversation blesses you and encourages you like it has ours.

Believing and knowing "I am a Child of God" is how Maria has navigated life and relationships. Maria tells us in a raw and authentic way how she has drawn near to God and took a leap of faith into being a stay-at-home mom. There are so many things she is not naturally good at and those very things are exactly how God is using her to glorify Him and impact the Kingdom. I am so blessed by our conversations that reminded me that I am a Child of God.

Beth is a dear friend who knows that she is ENOUGH. All the ways God created her are exactly what she is supposed to be for her calling. She is so vulnerable when it comes to faith, parenting, and her career. Something you must know is Beth and her husband say "blessings" with each of their kids every night before bed. Each blessing is unique to the things they prayed over them while in the womb. Caught Holly saying them for us at the end. If you are a mom or dream of being a mom, Beth has so much truth and wisdom she shares in this conversation with me. I hope you know you are ENOUGH, just like Beth.

You may be wondering where the title of this podcast came from? Or who Amy Kugler is? Well, this episode with dive into both of those questions and more. In this episode, I take just a brief time to share more of my heart and the story of Behold Me, Beloved. I say story because that is exactly what it did in my life it is a part of my story and testimony, but I also believe Behold Me, Beloved is a journey. It's a continuous choice to look to the Lord and discover why He calls me and you Beloved. It's a truth, identity, a purpose we all have on our life. You and I were created to be loved plan and simple. But how do we walk confidently in that truth? I believe seeking out the Lord daily is the answer, but there are so many different ways and it will look different for each of us. That is the beauty of faith and beholding Him who created us.
Welcome to Behold Me, Beloved Podcast. I'm your host Amy Kugler, and this podcast is all about the value and impact of identifying as a Beloved. We will discuss faith, scripture, identity in Christ, callings, and so much more with women of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life. My hope is for you to know you are invited to have a seat at this table in this conversation but your name marks a place at The Table and you are called Beloved. Listen in on conversations with my faith-filled friends and I as we look to God and His Living and Loving Word for true identity.
This first series will be about identity in Christ. Each episode will have a guest on discussing their journey to finding their identity in Christ. Don't know what that means? Don't worry, we will define that too. Tune into this trailer for a sneak peek.
