In this episode, we're talking about our relationships with God using the analogy of a relationship down here. We use Exodus 34:14 (and others defining God as jealous), as well as mentions of the Bride of Christ/Lamb's Bride. I really enjoyed creating this episode--please tell me what you think!

Thanks for listening!

This week's episode is a little heavier toward the end. Again I'm still learning, playing around with different styles. This one is definitely more like having a conversation with me. Please let me know if you prefer this style over last week's or not (or if they're both good in different ways). Thank you for listening!

Verses referenced are Galatians 6:10, Proverbs 31:26, Romans 2:4, and Luke 22:51.

In this episode, we're discussing modesty. This is a very broad word, as I've learned, and it probably jumps around a lot, BUT please be kind as I'm still learning. I hope you're blessed by this and that it helps even just a little bit. Verses referenced are II Corinthians 6:17 and Matthew 5:28, though there are plenty more to choose from.

This is just a mini episode (minisode) of affirmations for your day/week. There aren't many, but hopefully you hear a statement that fits what you need to hear right now. Take it and hold on to it with all you have!

In this episode, I'm just giving an introduction into why I decided to start this podcast. Just to recap, though, my name is Melissa, and I'm apostolic. I wanted to have discussions about why things matter within the church. Why does preaching matter? Why does modesty matter? Why does missionary work matter? This podcast will hopefully help someone who's struggling to understand why we do what we do. I'll do my best not to step into shoes that are not mine to fill, however. If you have a question that's specific to your local assembly or about your personal life, please discuss it with your pastor. <3
