In this episode Catherine, Gina and Kristen explore three little words that reveal our struggles/ opposition, our choice of HOW to respond and the result of God's loving work THROUGH these trials. The struggle is real but so is our response and God's Hand throughout. We can grow thru adversity and God can work powerfully. Join us as we break it down and look at each step in detail.   Note: This episode was taped in July 2021  We release a new episode every Wednesday!   Be sure to subscribe, rate and review this podcast to find our latest episodes and to help us reach more women in need.  Be sure to go to reboundingfaith.com to get the Promises of God and to see Gina's blog.  To learn more about us, go to reboundingfaith.com and follow us @reboundingfaithpodcast on Instagram and Facebook.

It has been said that surrender is a journey from the outer turmoil to the inner peace. The peace we hold in our hearts is probably one of the most difficult parts of our faith. In order to obtain the peace that Jesus promises, we must first let go of our own will and surrender to His. John 14:27 says , "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." There is a process to walking in peace; it starts with accepting God's Will, then surrendering to His will and finally trusting that God has a purpose in your pain. Finding and walking on that "Blessable Path"! Join Catherine, Gina and Kristen as they dig deep into one of Faith's most difficult questions: How do we obtain and sustain peace? Is there such a thing as a "Piece of Peace"? Episode Notes: In this episode, we refer to the below topic: The Old Hymn: "It is Well With My Soul".

Are you a gardener with a green thumb? Even if you don't appreciate gardening, you will likely agree that the difference between a "Sun Scorched Land" and a "Well Watered Garden" comes down to one thing: Water.  Life can become like this desolate "sun scorched" place: intense heat with little water. However, God can meet us there and refresh our souls. "Living Water" is referred to 19 times in the NIV translation. This water is the answer to times of "spiritual drought" where our souls have become dry and thirsty. We learn in Isaiah 58:11 about both a Sun Scorched Land and a Well Watered Garden.  We see that when we live in a sun-scorched land, our thirst can only truly be satisfied by following God's Word and living for His 'glory'. When we do this in faith, we have peace, joy and become like a "Well Watered Garden"  that will overflow life and truth onto others in need of a drink. Be refreshed this week! Join Catherine, Gina and Kristen as they discuss this well-watered garden God has planned for you and examine what is needed to keep the water flowing.

Inward change leads to outward action -- but it all starts in the heart mixed with a bit of curiosity and determination. A small seed planted there that desires peace, joy, and to experience the promises of God first hand. The story of Zacchaeus the Tax Collector (Luke 19:1-10)  illustrates when curiosity meets determination how your life can be changed in a powerful way. He climbed a Sycamore tree so he could just see Jesus passing by from a distance, but Jesus had other plans: An Encounter with God. What "tree" are we willing to climb to have an encounter with God? Jeremiah 29:13 tells us that when we seek God with all our heart, we will find Him. Zacchaeus did just that and shows us that Curiosity + Determination = Encounter with God.  Join Catherine, Gina and Kristen as they examine how when our curiosity about Jesus is paired with our determination, we will find the truth we seek.

Have you ever walked along a narrow path on the side of a mountain or crossed a bridge with danger on both sides? When you put your trust in God, you are walking "The Narrow Path" that leads to life, and life more abundant. Matthew 7:13-14 states "Broad is the road that leads to destruction, but small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life". In our lives, we can be tempted to veer off the path and be lured over to the wider, so called "easier" route but we soon see that this road does not leave us fulfilled, satisfied and overflowing. God knows it can be difficult to journey on the narrow path so He promises guidance and protection:  Psalm 32: 8 says, “...I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.” Join Catherine, Gina and Kristen as they examine what it takes to walk on the narrow path and learn that it is the road to a truly fulfilled, joyful and overflowing life.

Imagine being adrift at sea -- one moment being pushed into unsafe waters and the next being tossed into the rocks. Life can certainly feel this way at times if we are not anchored by something strong: Our hope and faith.  Hebrews 6:19 describes it as "We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure."  Life's roughest storms have a way of proving the strength of our anchors.  Join Catherine, Gina and Kristen as they explore how hope can be our anchor and how His promises can defeat hopelessness in our lives.  Episode Notes: FREE GIFT TO OUR LISTENERS!

Are you carrying something that is hard to let go? An offense committed that is robbing you of your peace? Whether it is releasing yourself or another from a transgression, healing and peace are found in forgiveness. The Bible refers to forgiveness a total of 121 times in both the old and new testament -- which speaks to its importance. But Why is it so important? What are the benefits of forgiveness? What is it-- and what is it not? Join Catherine, Gina and Kristen as they tackle this critical topic and explore how this "gift"  can be a key to peace and tips on how to finally let go.  Episode Notes: In this episode, we refer to the below topic that was covered in more detail in this previous episode: Loving Difficult People {Discusses HOW to love our enemies (or difficult people) in our lives as well as how to show compassion toward them.

Do you ever feel like you are in a tough spot of which no foreseeable good can come from it?  When we are in this "place", there are two phrases that come to mind: "What was meant for evil, God will use for good" or another popular worldly expression is "Everything's Coming Up Roses". What do these really mean and how do they apply to our faith? One key verse that references this concept: Genesis 50:​​20 “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.” This verse provides us comfort and hope in knowing God is in control and His desire is always for our highest good.   Be encouraged and join us this week as Catherine, Gina and Kristen take a personal look at how God uses our everyday challenges to help mold our character into His perfect vision. Get those gloves and shears out -- as we explore how Everything's Coming Up Roses! Episode Notes: In this episode, we refer to the below topics that were covered in more detail in these previous episodes: Episode 20: I'm A Sheep? Say What! (A closer look at our "sheepish" characteristics why we are called Sheep in the Bible.)

Sometimes certain people in our lives can be difficult to love and demonstrate kindness toward. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you' (Luke 6:31) or 'Turn the other cheek' (Luke 6:29) - We may know these phrases well, but what does it really look like to show compassion and love toward difficult people in difficult situations? Even more perplexing is HOW do we do this? Join Catherine, Gina and Kristen as they explore our natural responses to conflict as well as the historical Biblical context of the above verses which reveal restraint and generosity are a sign of strength, not weakness.  They offer key tips that will draw us closer to God's Will (40:20 mark) as well as help us manage the destructive nature of difficult people.  1) Have a soft answer 2a) Pray and ask for strength  2b) Choose to love from wisdom and strength received in prayer 3) When angry, forgive 4) Exhibit grace 5) Accept that others may see you as the difficult person Romans 12:18 - If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
