Question Three:
How can I handle emotions in a Biblical way?
In a world that constantly promotes “following your heart”, how do we handle our emotions in a truly Biblical and God-honoring way? Leslie tackles that challenge in this episode of her Most Asked Questions series. In this week’s message, she unpacks what it means to be led by Truth vs. feelings. When our feelings will no longer dictate our thoughts, decisions, and daily actions, we can truly be led by God’s Spirit instead of our own emotions.
Question Four:
How do I balance family and ministry?
Is it possible to be healthy and balanced in both family and ministry? While ministry is a wonderful way to showcase Christ’s love to others, the enemy can often use our good intentions to serve others as bait for stress, chaos and overcommitment. Many Christians who start enthusiastically in ministry end up in a place of burn out and disillusionment as time goes on. In this episode, Leslie draws from her own ministry experience to share key Biblical principles that can help us approach ministry in a healthy and Christ-centered way. She offers insights into how to balance ministry with other responsibilities such as family relationships, and gives practical suggestions for avoiding ministry burnout. This episode casts a vision for ministry that goes the distance.
Question Five:
How should I handle manipulative people?
Many women struggle with feeling controlled or strongly influenced by manipulative friendships, and it can be confusing to know how to respond to this challenge in a healthy and Christ-centered way. As Christians, we are to be controlled only by the Spirit of God, rather than by human manipulation. In this episode, Leslie shares three Biblical keys to becoming set free from manipulation. If you have struggled with being manipulated, you will be amazed and the freedom and joy you find once you allow God to remove the unhealthy control of others over your life, so that you can make yourself completely and fully available to Him.
