Growth Refined I Spiritual Growth, Restoration, Life’s meaning & purpose

Is there more to life than just the physical? I mean, we eat our bread, we drink our water; but how long does this sustain us? There is actually bread and drink that is everlasting, that will sustain us for an eternity. Please join me and follow along in the gospel of John 6; 22-40. 
God loves you, He has chosen you and created you for a purpose. He has called you by name, you are worthy of His love too, all you have to do his receive His free gift of Jesus Christ. Jesus is the way to everlasting life dwelling with God, your ancestors, family and friends in the beauty of heaven that one day we will call, home. On this day and forevermore there will be no more pain, suffering, brokenness or tears-this is Gods promise.

From personal experience, I can only come from the perspective of identity with loss. I hope this episode will encourage you, enlighten you and bring you hope.  Identity is so significant, especially in these times in our world. Our world can be so confusing, as there are so many things that are uncertain all around us. Please join me on Growth Refined, as we dive into identity after loss.

Welcome! Today's episode is about fear, the definition and emotion behind fear. Why do we fear, and what we do with it. God has so many promises in scripture about fear. God demonstrates his sovereignty when we depend, believe and trust in Him through scripture and in our own everyday life. Join me today, in learning what we can do with this anticipated emotion, of fear.
Scriptures today: Daniel 6, 2 Timothy 1:7, Mark 5:36, Isaiah 41:13, Proverb 29:25.

Do you ever just have this feeling, of this void within you; you just want to keep feeding it but you're not sure how to put your finger on it with 'what' to feed it with? Does this make sense? We are all striving for this completeness, this happiness-we think; if I can just get a hold of that, or this-I will be satisfied. Maybe you made it to that point, and you're still wondering why the gapping hole is still there?
Please join me on today's episode!
