For Such A Time As This: Recent Episodes
Sav Calixto and Irais Vela
Hey sister! This podcast is made for our sisters in Christ. We are two women who love the Lord, coming together to talk about the hard stuff most people don't want to address in the church.
There is an urgency to share Christ and the biblical truth. Join us as we have Holy Spirit lead conversations. Our hope is to edify one another as the body of Christ! Proverbs 27:17 says "As Iron sharpens Iron, so one man sharpens another."
We weren't created just to live ordinary lives- We were created for such a time as this!
Hey sister! In this episode (Part TWO of our deception series) we discuss our very own testimonies on the churches we attended and how God pulled us out of deception! Even as believers we can fall into deception too if were not careful. We see what a problem this and wanted to address it head on. Please listen to this episode with open & humbled hearts and minds. We love you sister! We pray this series blesses you.

In this episode, Irais shares with us the trials she's been facing this last week and HOW we should remain in truth- EVEN through the pain!
Scripture:
- So Satan left the Lord’s presence, and he struck Job with terrible boils from head to foot. 8 Job scraped his skin with a piece of broken pottery as he sat among the ashes. 9 His wife said to him, “Are you still trying to maintain your integrity? Curse God and die.” Job 2:7-9 NLT
- Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing. James 1:2-4
- We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. 4 And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. 5 And this hope will not lead to disappointment. Romans 5:3-5 NLT
- The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. 1 Corinthians 10:13
- I love you, LORD; you are my strength. The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. Psalms 18:1-3

Hey Sister! In this episode I am really going to be sharing my heart and the recent struggles I've been facing with the idol of FOOD and my journey to healing! The Lord has really been working in me lately and delivering me from my food idol. I hope this episode blesses and encourages you!
Scripture:
- So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
1 Corinthians 10:31 * 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. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:9-10 * For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
Colossians 1:13-14

In this episode we will be chatting about Mark Zuckerberg's Meta from a place of biblical discernment and perspective. How should we view the metaverse as Christians? Should we avoid using it? There was SO much to unpack within this episode. We urge you sister, look into all of this for yourself! Don't just take our word for it. Put everything to the word of God. We pray this episode blesses you!
Scripture:
- Romans 12:2 "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."
- James 1:5 "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him."
- Colossians 2:8 "See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ."
- 1 John 2:15-17 "Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions—is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever."
- 2 Peter 3:3-7 "Knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.” For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly."
- Romans 1:22-25 "Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen."

Romans 5:3-5
"We can rejoice too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love."
Philippians 4:8-9
"And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, 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."

"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
SO, Now you've heard the Gospel! In this episode, we are going to talk about what it actually means to live the life of a born again Christian! What does it even mean to be born again? Is this legalism? Can we do whatever we want and claim the name of Jesus? Using biblical reference, we are going to talk about how we should aim to live. The way Jesus calls us to live! Remember, this is not just a ticket to heaven!
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." 2 Corinthians 5:17 ESV
"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.'" Matthew 7:21-23 ESV
"Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them." Ephesians 5:11 ESV
"Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." 1 Peter 5:8 ESV

For this episode, we decided to have a conversation about the single most life changing topic- The Gospel of Jesus Christ. While you may be thinking "I've already heard the gospel before." Bare with us, were going to be going into depth about some important things. It's important to realize exactly WHAT the Gospel is and HOW simple it truly is! Accepting Jesus isn't JUST a ticket to heaven.
We pray that this episode blesses you!
"For God is not a God of confusion but of peace." 1 Corinthians 14:33
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek." Romans 1:16
"Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans 10:9
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16
"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6

Welcome sisters! We are SO excited that you've decided to check out our podcast! We honestly cannot wait to see what comes from it. For our very FIRST episode, we are just sharing a little snippet of both of our stories and what we hope comes from this podcast. Our number one goal is to edify one another as the body of Christ!
Both of us are called to do three specific things right now- First, to share the gospel of Jesus Christ and how simple it truly is. Second, to share TRUTH! We have a heaviness on our hearts to discuss things that most churches avoid talking about. And Third, to help build disciples- What does it look like to live a Christian life in this day in age?
We pray that this podcast blesses you in so many ways!
