Restoring the Joy of Purity

What you believe about purity in your adolescent years can have a lasting impact on your mind and body for years to come. So much of the shame, guilt, physical and emotional pain that we experience in marriage is carried forward from what we believed about ourselves, God, and the opposite sex during these crucial years of development. Let's work together to restore the blessings and joy that Jesus intended when He encouraged us to live a pure life, so that the next generation can truly understand the freedom and abounding joy that comes from real purity.

Join me as I have the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Katie Whetstone about this topic!

The ONE THING Women Need

Do you feel like you are searching for something that's missing? Do you feel you are grappling for answers? Do you notice that your stress and anxiety overwhelm your heart and joy seems like a distant idea?
Join Faith Harralson and I as we dive into the ONE THING women need for wholeness in body, mind, and spirit.
Being WITH Jesus.
Let's talk about:
How to keep our eyes on Him and off of what is going on.
How to discern the voice of our Father.
How to operate in gratitude.
AND, how to bring the Holy Spirit's presence into our daily lives and into our homes.
Friends, as we renew our mind, body, and spirit, let's get rid of distractions and focus on Him in our daily walks and usher His presence into our homes.
Psalms 69:29-32 Amplified

But I am sorrowful and in pain. May your salvation, O God, set me securely on high. I will praise the name of God with song and magnify Him with thanksgiving. And we will please the Lord better than an ox or a young bull with horns and hooves. The humble have seen it and are glad. You who seek God (requiring Him as your greatest NEED) let your heart REVIVE and LIVE.

He came because He loves You! I hope you have a fantastic Christmas and wait expectantly on our Coming King to transform your life this season!
