Everyone has a truth they live by. Some live by the saying “judge not”. Others live by being a “generally good person”. Some are environmentalists, and some humanitarians. Some live for their work and seek to be “true to their craft”. Some strive to be knowledgeable in all things - to pursue degrees in philosophy or literature; and others are in a fight for social justice aiming to portray tolerance and acceptance for all.

Welcome to the THIRD episode of the Be The Girl Podcast. This week we are focusing on living a life that holds dearly to the truth that God and His word gives us.
This can be a difficult task you know? We are constantly bombarded with what our culture and world around us tells us on a daily basis, we are impacted by our own fears and anxieties, and we have an enemy who loves to distort truth to discourage the believer going after Christ.

I let the tears come. I woke up that morning after weeks spent, not numbing my heart, but distracting my heart. It’s good to be present to your season, but sometimes that being present also means being present to your pain. It’s always the in between spaces that are the hardest. The Not-Yet season. The season in between what has been promised to us and where we are now. Harder than the in between space itself is navigating all the vast interior landscape within it.

Think of that one dark sin that you wish you could just bottle up and shove out of the window. For me, that was pornography and masturbation. For the longest time, those two words were the hardest for me to actually verbalize out loud...

“All to Jesus I surrender, all to Him I freely give. I will ever love and trust Him, daily in His presence live … All to Thee most blessed Savior, I surrender all.” Sound familiar? Maybe you were raised singing these words before living them out. That was me.

It was only a year ago, when I was sitting on the beach chairs next to my new husband in Bali. It was a hot day, the breeze was swaying. We had spent the week adventuring and finally in the stillness, the feelings in my heart bubbled to the surface.

The worst year of my life happened 3 years ago. It was 2016 and I truly had hit rock bottom. To say I was far away from Jesus was an understatement. Looking back now, I see the grace that God had on my life. The times where I’d cry out thinking there wasn’t an answer, sitting in silence waiting for something to come and save me.

Community. People crave it... To be connected and involved. To have a place of cultivation. Our hearts long to be accepted, understood, loved, and tended to. To have this, we will need to move past being fully understood by others in order to be accepted by them. Community doesn’t place people they love in a box.

Growing up, my mom used to read a story about a king and his kingdom, complete with a princess and three daring young knights all hoping to win the fair maiden’s hand in marriage. One day, the prince challenged the brave knights to a quest that would reveal to his father the king, which of them was worthy of his sister's hand. The first knight was known for his strength, another for his swiftness, and the third for his wisdom.

Today we are kicking off the new year with Be The Girl Who Seeks Wisdom. This can be a topic that we often see as “obvious”. Of course we are too seek Biblical wisdom in all that we do, but as often as we can think it is obvious is as often as we can forget in our day to day.

Although summer in the American South can seem unending, autumn always comes around, if only for a week or two. And as surely as the days grow milder and nights start to snap, my craving for ginger cookies arises.

This month’s theme is the Heart of Discipline. Discipline can be tough; am I right? Staying firmly planted in the midst of temptation, and rooted in Christ through difficult times, isn’t always easy, but it is well worth it.

I still basically struggle to believe in God on a daily basis. There is a good chunk of me that is caught in the lie that says I’m crazy to believe in God, Heaven, sin, and eternity despite all the evidence. This makes treasuring God really hard sometimes. As an author once wrote of the Devil, “... so he not only speaks what is false. He hides what is true. He keeps us from seeing the treasure of the gospel. He lets us see facts, even proofs, but not preciousness.”
