Feed Your Spirit: A Podcast talking with ordinary people about those moments in life when God’s word gives you just what you need when you need it most. We all have those moments when we randomly open our bible and there it is – His words of faith, renewal, courage, patience, or a good ol’ dose of tough love fills us with what only He can give. Hosted by the 2 Scripture Sisters, Jill and Denise, this conversation-style podcast aims to share stories that will feed your spirit.

On today’s episode, we are talking with Candace. Candace is a wife, mother of 3, and business owner. She takes us through her journey as her husband battled cancer. It was not always easy for this young family but Candace learned how to give her husband to the Lord and allow him to make choices about his treatment with the Lord. With the love and support of family, friends, and her faith she talks to us about how to she became thankful in a not so thankful time. She also talks about her word for 2019 – chosen. In true, Feed Your Spirit fashion, the Lord was giving this word for her to live by over and over again. No matter where she turned, there was the word, “chosen.” Candace could not escape it and finally accepted what God has chosen her to do. Tune in and find out just how she is fulfilling God’s calling for this season. 

With the determination to consciously live in the word, we invite you to plug in and prepare your heart as we Feed Your Spirit with everyday stories of God’s grace from everyday people.

On today’s episode, we talk with Cherri. Cherri is a wife, mother, educator, author, and counselor. She has been around addiction her whole life but it wasn’t until her own children that she began to experience the hardships of seeing your children’s lives spiral out of control. Not knowing what to do, she had to learn to love them to life instead of love them to death by enabling the destructive behavior.

On today’s episode, we are talking with Ben. Ben is the husband to our previous guest Carol Ann. If you have had not listened to Carol Ann’s episode, we encourage you to do so now. Ben’s story is about addiction recovery. While this topic is sensitive in nature, we encourage you to listen with an open heart and to be mindful if there are young children within listening range.  Currently Ben owns his own business in digital marketing and is busy raising two young children alongside his wife, Carol Ann. Surrounded by family, faith, his church community, and friends, Ben shares with us his trials and challenges with his addiction. Ben also talks openly about the healing process and what it takes day to day to overcome victoriously. Ben is forever thankful to his wife, family, church and the staff at The Colony of Mercy – a residential recovery program for men at America’s Keswick.

On today’s episode, we talk with our dear friend, Carol Ann. She is a wife, mother, instructor for adults with disabilities, volunteer, and life-long student. Carol Ann shares with us how she surrendered herself and her husband into God’s hands for healing. Through the uncertainty, pain, recovery, and healing, Carol Ann openly talks with us about how her husband’s addiction has led to her own healing. We also explore what it meant for Carol Ann to “lay down her Isaac” to be fully obedient to God. She is forever thankful to her church and the ministry at America’s Keswick for playing an important role in her spiritual life and for being a part of God’s provision.

While reading a devotional this morning, “Grow: Becoming More Like Jesus” http://bible.com/r/42S the author talked about how trees are the second most mentioned living thing in the Bible (humans being first), The author went on to compare humans to trees; if we have a strong root system (faith and obedience to God) and a source of water (connections and support) we will grow strong and healthy.

I love this metaphor because it is true. As my roots grow stronger through my time and work spent all for His glory, I realize how the streams that feed me come from one source, God. Whether it is a song, devotional, ministry work, writing, time spent with friends, groups, conversation, or work I know He is feeding my roots so I can weather any storm.

One perfect example of this is our new project, the Feed Your Spirit podcast, released last week. After its release, we heard from some people about how they connected to the message our guest talked about. Their roots were fed through a connection made between a set of headphones. This is one way God is working through us to provide water to help His trees grow strong. Like a tree I know I will bend and sway through storms but with God’s love, I will not break. Love ~ Jill

“They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream.”  Jeremiah 17:8
