Walking with Kelley and Kristy

99 | Chasing Waterfalls - Living In The Freedom of Christ

In this episode, our friend Heather Koppe joins us to share her powerful testimony of healing -- after living in fear and anxiety from past trauma and with agoraphobia. But God, in His loving kindness, reached down and helped her walk out of a season of darkness and into the light of HIS wholeness and healing. She lives in true Freedom today, enjoying the beauty of God's creation, from rushing waves to majestic waterfalls, and He continues to rewrite her story.
Psalm 27:14 became a message of HOPE for her-- it says "Wait on the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." A message that can bring HOPE and healing to us too, today -- as we wait upon the Lord for our own healing!

98 | Walking in Freedom - Physical, Spiritual, Emotional, & Financial - It's ALL Connected!

In this episode, our friend Jedell Jenkins joins us at the table to talk about all areas of life pertaining to an abundant life in Christ. Living a life healed and whole involves walking in a peace that doesn't always make sense from an earthly perspective. With Christ it is possible to live free from the bondage of fear, debt, sickness, and disease and begin to confidently step into the abundant life Jesus came to give us (John 10:10).
Jodell has 20+ years of experience as a nurse, she is a health and wellness coach, and has experienced financial freedom while learning and teaching the principles she has learned from Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University. 
If you need a mentor or encourager on your health or financial freedom journey, Jodell is willing to talk to you and point you in the right direction -- so that you too can experience Freedom in your own story.

96 | HOPE: A Practical Guide to Praying for Healing With Rebecca Ribnick

In this episode our new friend Rebecca Ribnick joins us to talk about her personal testimony of physical healing. It is God's plan for you to walk through THIS life healed and whole in Jesus name. Rebecca's story and teaching is not only inspiring, but contagious - as we seek to walk out our own lives filled with the spirit and full of God's perfect plans and purposes for healing and wholeness here on Earth as it is in Heaven!
For sixteen years, Rebecca Ribnick suffered from an incredibly painful disease, all the while believing that God made her sick for a purpose she didn’t or couldn’t understand. Contrary to her theological understanding of healing, miracles, and God’s working today, Jesus radically healed her and rewrote her future.
Rebecca is an ordained pastor and a three-year ministry school graduate from Bethel in Redding, CA. Rebecca travels extensively teaching about God’s goodness and healing—what it is and how to apprehend what Jesus did two thousand years ago today. Her passion for seeing believers walk in their identity, destiny, and calling flow through her fun, funny, and joy-filled communication style. She also holds a B.A. in Communications.
When not writing, speaking, or hosting a podcast, Rebecca is probably watching Warriors basketball while attempting to keep warm in Minnesota.

95 | Do You Want To Be Well? Walking in Healing & Freedom!

In today's episode, we’re exploring what it means to truly walk in healing and freedom in Christ. Jesus said, in John 8:36… “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed” and we want this promise to be the foundation of every episode this season.
Isaiah 53 says, “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” Walking in healing and Freedom in Christ is a choice we face every day—this constant contrast: Will I focus on myself, or will I fix my eyes on Jesus’ finished work? Let's choose to walk in the Freedom that Christ offers to us today because of HIS finished work on the cross.
Psalm 147:3 – “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”  -God is the ultimate healer—He wants to restore your heart, mind, and soul.
Isaiah 61:1 – “The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.”

We are praying for you in THIS season of your WALK with Christ! Let's keep walking with the Jesus, and keep our eyes fixed on The HEALER, let's keep showing up and praying for each other along the journey. We love you!  #keepwalking
 
 

94 | From Addict To "JOY"-Filled Fanatic - Our God HEALS!!

Today is a REPLAY of one of our favorite episodes with our friend Brandon Joy. Brandon's life is a testimony of God's calling, purpose, healing, and redemptive work of CHRIST in His life. It is a challenge for all to submit and surrender to the ONE who is MORE than able to heal and bring freedom to each and every one of our stories! We pray this episode encourages you to Let God take any of those messy areas of life you may be facing today, or that keeps trying to rob you from the JOY that awaits. Today you can invite HIM in and TRUST HIM to heal and restore it for your good and His glory! Keep Walking!!

93 | Navigating Disappointments in Friendships

In this episode our friend Annette Wethington joins us back at the table to discuss the difficult topic of when friendships "GO SOUTH". Is GOD Still in the midst of things?  Is HE still able to teach us something through disappointment and heartache in friendship? We believe the answer is YES...Of course HE is! We pray you are encouraged today by this conversation and are challenged to invite God into the friendships where discouragement and disappointment have creeped in.
We recognize that while it's easy to focus on the positive aspects of friendship and be grateful for friends who inspire us, there are also relationship challenges that can be hurtful or harmful. We all face disappointment and unmet expectations in our relationships. Today, we’ll discuss how to navigate these difficulties and how we can please God even when friendships don’t turn out as we hoped. When things go south - it is an opportunity.  With healthy communication and restoration - it’s an opportunity for a deeper friendship.  With pain and destruction - it’s an opportunity to accept reality, get healing and move forward in different directions.

92 | Sisters - A Friendship For Life

In this episode two very special sisters join us at the table to share how the gift of a sister can also be an amazing gift of a friend. Adriana Melendez sits with us every week at the table, she produces this podcast, and we are so thankful for the friendship that we've been given in her. Today her older sister Mariel Melendez joins us to chat about Godly Healthy relationships and how important they are in life as we seek to walk with Christ and grow in our faith.
There is such a special bond between brothers and sisters and we know it takes prayer, patience, and sometimes a whole lot of forgiveness to get to a thriving place of friendship within our families. Today we are praying for you, your family,  and those friendships that God has given you that have stepped in like family is intended to do. Be encouraged today, and keep walking!!

91 | Hope In The Midst of Suffering: Comfort For the Hurting

In this episode, our friends Heather and Ryan Wright join us back at the table, and continue to share their personal journey of loss and suffering, but also encourage us by God's faithfulness, His comfort, and their amazing FCA family and friends, who have walked beside them through it all. They remind us of the loving kindness of God that is available to each of us as we face our own struggles in life.
The body of Christ has shown up to walk with them through their deepest valleys and God continues to use these relationships to help them on their healing journey today.
When faced with difficult seasons, the gift of friendship helps to ease the heartache of pain, loss, and suffering. When friends take time to check in on each other, pray for each other, and are willing to offer encouragement during difficult times - and choose to SIT in life struggles together, it is there we experience the LOVE and PEACE of CHRIST.

90 | Setting A Plumbline: In Family, Ministry, & Friendships

In this episode, Jacob Shamblin sits down and teaches us the importance of setting a Plumbline for our lives. As Christians, our standard for living is found in the LIFE of CHRIST. Although we will never obtain or arrive at perfection, we can look to God's Word, and the life that Christ walked here on Earth, as a standard - to guide and direct us in everyday decisions. What a gift we have been given in God's Word. 
Jacob Shamblin is in full time ministry with The Fellowship of Christian Athletes. If you have been encouraged today, and want to be apart of what God is doing through FCA, we would love for you to join us in supporting Jacob and his team, please visit the link below.
