Ally, if you ever decided to record yourself reading through the whole Bible like Jackie Hill Perry, I think I would actually be motivated to read through it. Or even just the New Testament. I love you so much girlie. God is gifting you with discernment, it is a blessing to be growing in Christ alongside you!
I'm reading through the old testament on my channel if y'all want some encouragement to go through that! It can be hard going through ruts where you can't get yourself to open the Bible and read! I went through that last year and decided to create a channel where we can read together! But yes totally agree! I would love to see more of Ally reading the word with us!
You nailed it when you said that those who have walked with Jesus their whole life may start losing their value of Jesus. I have gone through seasons of losing my desperation and fire for him because I’ve believed the lie that He is predictable. Praise the Lord His mercies are new every morning and we have the option to refill our oil cans!!! Woohoo! 🤠
Just last week I was reading a book called a praying parent since I have little ones and it gave me a prayer to pray for my kids i immediately went into their room since it was like 1130 at night and I started praying over them and I felt God with me protecting my babies it was so beautiful and I just wanted to scream with joy but couldn’t since I didn’t wanna wake them.
Love that you emphasized the importance of spending time in God’s Word! Yes! The Word & prayer is so important in our walk with the Lord 🥹🙏🏼💕 We can’t know God without knowing His Word! It is our foundation, our standard, our sword for this life. Amen!
I have been a follower of Christ for 21 years and there are so many seasons. And it looks different for everyone. One thing hasn’t changed,if you seek Him you will find Him.
@@CamilaCazares-v5v the Word of God is alive , so I start every day doing some Worship and reading my bible. That is definitely part of seeking Him. When I start to read I ask the Holy Spirit to give me understanding , to open my ears and eyes to what He wants to show me. Let me know if that helps :)

I start every day reading the Bible , it is Alive and has Gods fingerprints all over it. When I start reading I ask the Holy Spirit to open my ears and eyes to what He is speaking to me. Before you know it you find Him everywhere:)
This was refreshing and much needed. I’ve been feeling very called recently to simply accept his love and his presence and this episode has given me that push. I experienced the ‘crying on my hands and knees’ MANY years ago and when i didn’t feel that intense presence after that encounter, i completely psyched myself out and lost my way. Thank you for this. Thank you very very very much for this episode. God bless you.
Sometimes he tests us to see how much we do need him and love him. I was feeling like this the last three weeks. Like, “why am I not as on fire?” I still kept doing my Bible study and I prayed about it to God and was so honest with how I was feeling. I realised that God doesn’t want us to follow Him for feeling, but out of obedience because we love Him. And I believe that was the lesson I was meant to learn through this. Now I’m on fire again! But only after this revelation. ❤❤❤❤
I was praying this morning because I am going through the same thing. I am still very early in my journey and I had 2 weeks of feeling His presence so intensely and I prayed to Him to please come back to me. Your video was the first video on my feed and had no idea what you were going to speak about and bam, you speak about the exact thing I am going through. God is so so good. He heard me, He hears you and He is always with us❤❤
I feel like there’s different reasons why God doesn’t allow us to feel his presence all the time. One it’s us we drift away, another reason he wants us to trust and know he is with us even though we don’t feel him, sometimes it’s also a testing season. But I know what you mean when you feel him so strong that you just know he’s literally right next to you like elbow to elbow and it feels so amazing warm loving comforting etc…
Ally! I’m listening to this while on the treadmill at the gym 🤗 Your podcast has truly been God sent. It’s so encouraging to my faith and walk with the Lord 🥹🙏🏼 Thank you sister ❤️
At the beginning of following God, I was so full and I was so excited about God. Constantly talking to him as well as talking to people about God. Got to the point people were annoyed of me because that was the only thing I talked about. As time goes on I start struggling with my faith. It’s been a year following God but I struggle to keep following. One week I’m so on fire for him and then the next week I completely go down hill. Its comes in waves for me. It’s frustrating.
i've been a "believer" my whole life but just starting my real relationship with the Lord. and just know that when you are doubtful, that's not God. that is satan rejoicing. stay strong, Jesus has you
Beautifully spoken! I've felt the same way about Taylor for years now. I will say though, the majority of those years were filled with hatred for her. I love how you preach love and prayer instead of hatred and spite. Definitely a better perspective and I greatly appreciate it as a fellow christian!
God really spoke to me through this podcast. Just started listening to it today and randomly this episode came on even though I haven't finished season 1. Turns out it was something God wanted me to hear so PTL!
I’m new to your channel. Discover you through Ashley H’s channel. What you said about not allowing podcast being out only exposure to the Word is not enough. I listen to 2 devotional in the morning and listen to the Bible but not Reading. Thank you for this. So good!!
i would really love to hear an episode on guilt and shame around sin. because back in june and july i fell, and now i feel like im in this limbo. im really enjoying this episode, so i would definitely love to hear more.
STOP 😭😭❤️❤️❤️ “he’s love feels like a high” I was literally at church the other day and I was prayed over and the Holy Spirit just took over me and it was such a beautiful feeling 😭😭😭❤️❤️ it’s like I want to feel him so intensely again bc it’s such a strong LOVE feeling that’s it’s literally indescribable❤️
Wow God is good. He has been reminded me all week of the Lord’s Prayer. And specifically the part where it says bring us our daily bread. Thank you for this!!!
This is the exact thing I need to listen, it feels like God literally talks to me when i see you taking about this ,God bless you and thank you for this Praise the Lord amen🤍
Having the light of Jesus shine in your heart is the best feeling in the world. I accepted Jesus into my life 8 months ago and my life has been significantly better since then; better mood, more energy, just more hope in general. I didn't know I was going to feel so realized and happy after surrendering to Him until I did. I pray to never leave this path and for my life to never go back to what it was just a year ago. I need and want Jesus by my side forever, I want to find community and keep my heart close to God. So happy to see many people feeling the same, and awesome to hear your story and your evolution! I love you and all my brothers and sisters reading this. May our Lord Jesus Christ keep us safe and motivated to be the best version of ourselves. ✝🙏
STOPP girl you called me out on using this podcast as my Jesus time 💀💀 I definitely get caught up in the busyness in my life and find myself falling into that feeling of ‘I’d rather do something else’ when thinking about the Bible. BUT I think the Holy Spirit is really working and I’ve been trying to read the Bible more 🫶🏻🫶🏻
@@snowyqueen8986 hii honestly it’s been such a journey but I’ve started doing little solo Bible studies at cafes so it’s been really good getting into the Word of God and I’ve never felt this much THIRST to know more about Christ it’s so crazy. I’ve never really considered fasting before mainly because my family doesn’t have that sort of practice but I have a couple friends who do!! I might start thinking about it more and reading passages that speak on it as well
I have been in and out of listening to this episode and first one to every listen to, and let me just say each day it had a message for me. Especially towards the end, it spoke to me so much and thank you for sharing.
Yes, i went so down a couple months ago, I thought i was lost again I thought God had forsaken me, but that wasn’t true i simply got used to Gods presence, i didnt felt that crying on my knees begging for that feeling to last forever so often anymore, but the truth is you can see God in everything, you can feel God in the sun, in the rain, in the grass, in the soil, in the water, you can see him and feel him in everything around us, but we take those things for granted
They way i felt so called out when you spoke about control. And the example you used was spot on too. Hiding behind saying I trust Him and His plan. Keep speaking the truth girl cause I needed to hear that! 😅 Finding comfort in the reassurance that no matter how many times we gotta reel it in, He will always be there❤
I recently found Ally's podcast, and I have gone back to watch her previous episodes, including this one. I really needed this episode. I can relate to everything Ally says, and I love listening to her episodes. I am thankful for the reminders and honest conversations that her podcast provides. Thank you Ally, keep it up!
a few weeks ago I was going through some really tough times and said to my mom "Why did God leave me?" - she said "He did not leave you. He is carrying you and you just can't see it right now. The footsteps on the sand are his, not yours. He´s carrying you in his arms." She was so right ❤
Thank you because I used to be very close to God as a child and I never realized that I used to read my Bible every day and pray multiple times a day and I’m realizing now that’s what I’ve been missing for so long and wondering why I don’t feel as close anymore
This was a good one, it was right on time for me. Thank you for your obedience in sharing your Faith Walk with us. May God continue to Bless you and keep you and may His Face Shine Upon you 😊. Happy Friday 🎉
17:05 samee, i grew up & have always been in cali (la county area). but ever since i moved outta state a few months ago, i literally wanted to be completely on fire for the Lord.
I absolutely love it! So much good stuff!!! I really never thought about Peter going back to what he did before after Jesus died. He must have been feeling so terrible. Jesus made a way and continues to make a way 🎉
I just came across your page for the first time and omg… I’ve been feeling like this! Like God hasn’t been as close to me. I’ve been longing for that closeness that I was feeling. But it’s true I cause the absent feeling.
You are an amazing innocence of Gods heart! Blessed be God for all these years of your formation. You are a strong sister in Christ! Love you decor. If ever your in woodstock IL. Would love to spend time with you in fellowship. Blessings ! 💙 For me we have a chapel that is so peaceful. I looks like a tiny cottage & there the Lord grants my heart & mind wisdom. PRAISE God! I will lift you up in spirit !
12:56 im not necessarily a new believer like i am but im navigating it alone so it feels like im new. Ive been believing in God since 8th grade, but i was forced into catholic hs so I didnt have christian guidance. Jr Year during covid thats when I started my relationship with God, and since then been through so much trial and error. Been wanting to stray away from lukewarmness since early 2022, but i didn’t have proper guidance. honestly i should have seeked it, but i didn’t so it is my fault but I didnt know the true extent of being a Christian its like Woahh. I’ve tried to be obedient but when i would slip up, that would lead into backsliding. But ive been in a new season, and I know my Identity in Christ to not allow the enemy to spew lies enough for me to backslide ever again. So yeah now im seeking guidance (online via youtube) and through fellowship with a family friend. Its been life changing, but the past 2 weeks I havent felt Gods presence 🥲. Its like miserable but i know i need to keep showing up, but this podcast so far is comforting like hello i needed to hear this
I haven't felt the presence of God for months! I mean I've felt it on and off but I've felt so distant and I'm so miserable and I'm doing my best to read my Bible and pray and I still feel distant
I just want to thank you and say how much you inspire me and helped me to give my life completely to Jesus. There were still some parts of my life I didn’t gave Jesus completely and allowed him to change me. Your light and the love you have for the Lord inspired me to do the same and I am the happiest I have ever been!! I am so thankful and blessed and glowing then I have never before. I can call myself an actual woman of God and have a light other people can see, THANKS TO JESUS! He is my main priority now and I love reading the bible and making him the number one priority in my life and putting him over EVERYTHING. I just know that God send your videos to me. He really did have a plan you were an important part of my journey and I just want to let you know. Never stop with you podcast, because you really do a difference (and you never know who the next person is inspired by you ). I love you and want to thank you. Amen❤️
I loved taking time reading the Bible together. I think we should finish a book before going to another just in case anyone has questions or are new on your channel and want to understand the book more.. just a suggestion 😊
The ending was exactly what I needed . Sticking around in church . Feelings on tattoo? I have one but then my walk with Jesus I read in Bible “ don’t mark body with tattoos “ so I feel it’s going against what god wants….
Love this message. I am working on fellowship with ladies from church,joined a Bible study which is wonderful but I do have unsaved friends but working on my posture so they see Jesus living in me. Any suggestions to meet more Christian people? I love my Jesus and I pray daily for God to set my heart on fire daily….. renew my fire for u Jesus daily !!! Ty alley
Hebrews 13:5-6 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear What man shall do unto me. He will never leave nor forsake us❤
God was telling me to watch this video because the amount of things you called me out on doing. Especially when it comes to praying about Christian friends.
27:11 i wouldnt say its easy, but i see your point. Its not easy bc many kids have trauma from parents forcing God, as well as school/church. They instill fear, super strict, etc. But, I Thankfully found my way out. Most kids I grew up with strayed away from God bc of school/church hurt. Its genuinley sad. Catholic teachings & school systems make my blood boil because of my experience, seeing my brothers and sisters in Christ be led wrongly. As far as growing up christian, I cant speak on that because idk what thats like. For me I grew up catholic, so horrible tho 😂.
At 44, I've believed my whole life...mom took me to church, but I due to laziness and not wanting to wake up, I pulled away in middle school from church...that and I didn't feel I fit in cause I never have anywhere....yes even church. I started back going to Chapel when I was in the Armyand even found a great Penacostal Church in Savannah. Things went downhill though...I met my would be ex wife right after I re-enlisted for Germany and proposed before I left and felt home sick and relapsed in my anxiety in Germany, due to missing her and other military issues dealing with crappy command. Got out came home...started living with her anf nothing but fights and problems...we both had issues but while I tried working on them, I didn't see her admiting she had real problems and believe her to be bi polar but she never to diagnosed. Tried moving our family from her manipulative past and only for her to cause us losing our forst daughter. Now divorced and raising my autistic son alone...that's a battle all in its own, and I raised him most of his life on auto pilot, grieving the loss of his sister until iturned 40 something snapped and started praying anf reading my Bible more. I can't even get interested to anything on TV or movies...I can't listen to listen to any secular music...or even a lot of this "Christian " music even. Your story sounds a lot like my ex's, she blamed everyone but herself and I feel she can't live on her own, and wants someone to be there for her....even when she was in church.
Ally, My sister in Christ Thank You so so much for this !! God led me to this video and I’m So Very Thankful to him it is so amazing how we all are connected with one Father and when a brother or sister speaks on thinks it like this immediate connection and it the same exact filling God gives you and He works though others to Touch us or speak to us and he does it I’m so understanding about a lot of things now and I’m looking for community I just am about to become a member in a Church with my family and I’m so Greatful for all answered Prayers God is so Good 😊 The love I have for him is more then anything in the world and I would not have a life without him I Pray the lord Blesses you and Brings you Peace and comfort and compassion and happiness and gives you the desires of your heart God bless and I Pray 🙏 we meet some time in Heaven 💜 love you in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior Our King Our Father To God be the Glory Forever and ever Amen❤
I definitely agree about reading his word We can watch sermons and do many other things But do we actually spend time with him - Just talking? Thanks Ally❤
hi! so i had i idea maybe for cwcoi! i loved when you just read the bible on your podcast, so i had a idea that it would be fun if you capture your quiet time with the lord so that we could do it together?? i would love that! just starting every morning with you on your podcast and doing quiet time together!
Where do I even start reading? I’ve read so much of the New Testament. Part of me wants to just turn to a page where he’s speaking to me and go from there but that doesn’t happen. It’s like every time I pick it up and read, it’s not speaking to me how I want it to? It’s an issue I’m aware of and I simply don’t know what to do. I want to study the Bible but I don’t know how. I’m not very smart and just don’t know where to start. This is an amazing video and tysm for it may God bless you 💕💕💕💕💕
Girl no get drunk in the Holy Spirit 🤍 I know what you mean ! I remember when I was getting high and drunk looking for more and I could feel myself wanting more than just this high I knew there was more but I didn’t know exactly what that was but now I’ve come to realize the high I was looking for is the Holy Spirit girl !!! The lord is so good 🤍🤍🤍
Tbh I feel like I don’t get a lot from reading the Bible. :( I wish I did. I grew up in the church so I know of the Bible stories and I know God’s character. Idk I don’t know what to do to get out of it when I don’t get anything from it.
I'm not a mom, but I think you are so moving in the right direction by listening to podcasts. You could also listen to the bible on the bible app. The Lord sees you and He sees the season you're in. Just do what you can :)
Amen, I'd say if someone has never been sick he'll never know the importance of health so, someone had to be sinner to understand and experiment better this love that leads Jesus over the cross.
Ally, what if i became a lukewarm on purpose. like I chose to stop spending time with God and so on ! Does this podcast still apply to me?? I became lukewarm bc of smth harsh happened in my life, so I became angry with God, knowing that it is not his fault 😟 but idk why I did it but I still love Jesus and want to get back on track!!! I am a 16 yrs old !
Jesus said “unless we become like little children we will not enter in the kingdom of God.”
Humble and dependent on Him alone.
Ally, if you ever decided to record yourself reading through the whole Bible like Jackie Hill Perry, I think I would actually be motivated to read through it. Or even just the New Testament.

I just came across your page for the first time and omg… I’ve been feeling like this! Like God hasn’t been as close to me. I’ve been longing for that closeness that I was feeling. But it’s true I cause the absent feeling.
that's so true, there's nothing greater than the love of God!
❣
You are an amazing innocence of Gods heart! Blessed be God for all these years of your formation. You are a strong sister in Christ! Love you decor. If ever your in woodstock IL. Would love to spend time with you in fellowship. Blessings ! 💙 For me we have a chapel that is so peaceful. I looks like a tiny cottage & there the Lord grants my heart & mind wisdom. PRAISE God! I will lift you up in spirit !
Ally! Thank you so much for this. I needed to hear this today so much. God bless you.
I really needed this. Recently started listening to this podcast and so glad I did. God Bless 🙏
I totally needed to hear this today! Jesus is so good and so intentional, thank you❤️
her voice is just so relaxing oh my daysssss Jesus loves you!
12:56 im not necessarily a new believer like i am but im navigating it alone so it feels like im new. Ive been believing in God since 8th grade, but i was forced into catholic hs so I didnt have christian guidance. Jr Year during covid thats when I started my relationship with God, and since then been through so much trial and error. Been wanting to stray away from lukewarmness since early 2022, but i didn’t have proper guidance. honestly i should have seeked it, but i didn’t so it is my fault but I didnt know the true extent of being a Christian its like Woahh. I’ve tried to be obedient but when i would slip up, that would lead into backsliding. But ive been in a new season, and I know my Identity in Christ to not allow the enemy to spew lies enough for me to backslide ever again. So yeah now im seeking guidance (online via youtube) and through fellowship with a family friend. Its been life changing, but the past 2 weeks I havent felt Gods presence 🥲. Its like miserable but i know i need to keep showing up, but this podcast so far is comforting like hello i needed to hear this
Fasting Fasting Fasting. It works! Joel 2 : 12 | Acts 14 : 23 | Matthew 6 : 16-18 !!!
10:19 Amen girl, Amen, nothing and no one can create anything close to his presence...
22:31 🙌 Yes...
Girl. Sister. This popped up on my phone immediately after watching another video without me clicking on it. Thank you Jesus ❤️
I haven't felt the presence of God for months! I mean I've felt it on and off but I've felt so distant and I'm so miserable and I'm doing my best to read my Bible and pray and I still feel distant
I keep saying "Coffee with Christ on Ice" 😂 Such a great episode!
This is so good, again this is God answering my questions about my relationship with him.
Love a mix between this AND reading the buble
Watched your podcast interview on Girls Gone Bible loved it.
12:20 I just felt that this week thank you for posting this video. I don’t feel alone in this anymore.
Amen God bless you. He really shines through you ❤✝️🙏 amen
I just want to thank you and say how much you inspire me and helped me to give my life completely to Jesus. There were still some parts of my life I didn’t gave Jesus completely and allowed him to change me. Your light and the love you have for the Lord inspired me to do the same and I am the happiest I have ever been!! I am so thankful and blessed and glowing then I have never before. I can call myself an actual woman of God and have a light other people can see, THANKS TO JESUS! He is my main priority now and I love reading the bible and making him the number one priority in my life and putting him over EVERYTHING. I just know that God send your videos to me. He really did have a plan you were an important part of my journey and I just want to let you know. Never stop with you podcast, because you really do a difference (and you never know who the next person is inspired by you ). I love you and want to thank you. Amen❤️
Gems 💎💎were definitely dropped!!
This was such an encouraging word ♥️ thank you 🙏
I loved taking time reading the Bible together. I think we should finish a book before going to another just in case anyone has questions or are new on your channel and want to understand the book more.. just a suggestion 😊
I second this!
The ending was exactly what I needed . Sticking around in church .
Feelings on tattoo? I have one but then my walk with Jesus I read in Bible “ don’t mark body with tattoos “ so I feel it’s going against what god wants….
I don’t have a tattoo, but I read that verse as well, and I want to know what Ally thinks on that subject as well! ❤❤
Yes it’s true, we leak and always need constant refilling of the Holy Ghost.
Love this video❤. You are doing amazing work in the Lord❤.
I really don’t mind; either hoping around or just reading one book i will watch and join either way !
Pleaaaase read the word on this podcast. I would just adore studying the Bible with you!!!
Omgsh convicting me while I’m watching this eating chicken nuggets and fries 😩😩😩😭
Love this message. I am working on fellowship with ladies from church,joined a Bible study which is wonderful but I do have unsaved friends but working on my posture so they see Jesus living in me. Any suggestions to meet more Christian people? I love my Jesus and I pray daily for God to set my heart on fire daily….. renew my fire for u Jesus daily !!! Ty alley
Hebrews 13:5-6
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear What man shall do unto me.
He will never leave nor forsake us❤
God was telling me to watch this video because the amount of things you called me out on doing. Especially when it comes to praying about Christian friends.
I was the reason for the tangent thank you
27:11 i wouldnt say its easy, but i see your point. Its not easy bc many kids have trauma from parents forcing God, as well as school/church. They instill fear, super strict, etc. But, I Thankfully found my way out. Most kids I grew up with strayed away from God bc of school/church hurt. Its genuinley sad. Catholic teachings & school systems make my blood boil because of my experience, seeing my brothers and sisters in Christ be led wrongly. As far as growing up christian, I cant speak on that because idk what thats like. For me I grew up catholic, so horrible tho 😂.
This is so encouraging!❤
oh my GOSHHHHHH i really needed this fr thank you!! subscribedddddd ❤
Ally, sister. This was a word🤌🏻
This is fireeeee 😭😭😭🤍🤍🤍
God is all you need. I've tasted what this world can offer and let me tell you God is better. He's the best!!!
At 44, I've believed my whole life...mom took me to church, but I due to laziness and not wanting to wake up, I pulled away in middle school from church...that and I didn't feel I fit in cause I never have anywhere....yes even church. I started back going to Chapel when I was in the Armyand even found a great Penacostal Church in Savannah. Things went downhill though...I met my would be ex wife right after I re-enlisted for Germany and proposed before I left and felt home sick and relapsed in my anxiety in Germany, due to missing her and other military issues dealing with crappy command. Got out came home...started living with her anf nothing but fights and problems...we both had issues but while I tried working on them, I didn't see her admiting she had real problems and believe her to be bi polar but she never to diagnosed. Tried moving our family from her manipulative past and only for her to cause us losing our forst daughter. Now divorced and raising my autistic son alone...that's a battle all in its own, and I raised him most of his life on auto pilot, grieving the loss of his sister until iturned 40 something snapped and started praying anf reading my Bible more. I can't even get interested to anything on TV or movies...I can't listen to listen to any secular music...or even a lot of this "Christian " music even.
Your story sounds a lot like my ex's, she blamed everyone but herself and I feel she can't live on her own, and wants someone to be there for her....even when she was in church.
Ally, My sister in Christ Thank You so so much for this !! God led me to this video and I’m So Very Thankful to him it is so amazing how we all are connected with one Father and when a brother or sister speaks on thinks it like this immediate connection and it the same exact filling God gives you and He works though others to Touch us or speak to us and he does it I’m so understanding about a lot of things now and I’m looking for community I just am about to become a member in a Church with my family and I’m so Greatful for all answered Prayers God is so Good 😊 The love I have for him is more then anything in the world and I would not have a life without him I Pray the lord Blesses you and Brings you Peace and comfort and compassion and happiness and gives you the desires of your heart God bless and I Pray 🙏 we meet some time in Heaven 💜 love you in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior Our King Our Father To God be the Glory Forever and ever Amen❤
I definitely agree about reading his word
We can watch sermons and do many other things
But do we actually spend time with him - Just talking?
Thanks Ally❤
So good
I love you! ❤
Also, I loved Ally's cake analogy!
hi! so i had i idea maybe for cwcoi! i loved when you just read the bible on your podcast, so i had a idea that it would be fun if you capture your quiet time with the lord so that we could do it together?? i would love that! just starting every morning with you on your podcast and doing quiet time together!
So I only listening to you on the podcast app on Apple I never knew you had a UA-cam it’s nice to finally put a face to the voice
Where do I even start reading? I’ve read so much of the New Testament. Part of me wants to just turn to a page where he’s speaking to me and go from there but that doesn’t happen. It’s like every time I pick it up and read, it’s not speaking to me how I want it to? It’s an issue I’m aware of and I simply don’t know what to do. I want to study the Bible but I don’t know how. I’m not very smart and just don’t know where to start.
This is an amazing video and tysm for it may God bless you 💕💕💕💕💕
I recommend the gospels first. It’s easier for me to understand the Old Testament when I’ve read a bit of the new first. That might just be me tho!
so good ally
Sis when you said I felt like I was underwater I am literally working on an artwork which means when we sink(sin/fall) He pulls us back up
Bible book by book chapter by chapter. new and old testaments daily with podcast.
Girl no get drunk in the Holy Spirit 🤍 I know what you mean ! I remember when I was getting high and drunk looking for more and I could feel myself wanting more than just this high I knew there was more but I didn’t know exactly what that was but now I’ve come to realize the high I was looking for is the Holy Spirit girl !!! The lord is so good 🤍🤍🤍
Tbh I feel like I don’t get a lot from reading the Bible. :( I wish I did. I grew up in the church so I know of the Bible stories and I know God’s character. Idk I don’t know what to do to get out of it when I don’t get anything from it.
Try using online community and commentaries they help so much and if ur not all ready pray before u read for the Holy Spirit to point things out to u
How do you make time for him when you are a mom? My child doesn’t nap and he doesn’t go to bed til 9:00 every night.
I'm not a mom, but I think you are so moving in the right direction by listening to podcasts. You could also listen to the bible on the bible app. The Lord sees you and He sees the season you're in. Just do what you can :)
Amen, I'd say if someone has never been sick he'll never know the importance of health so, someone had to be sinner to understand and experiment better this love that leads Jesus over the cross.
Alleluia!
that outfit is so cute
Ally, what if i became a lukewarm on purpose. like I chose to stop spending time with God and so on ! Does this podcast still apply to me?? I became lukewarm bc of smth harsh happened in my life, so I became angry with God, knowing that it is not his fault 😟 but idk why I did it but I still love Jesus and want to get back on track!!! I am a 16 yrs old !
