75 Holy Challenge | Holy and Healthy
LINK TO 75 HOLY CHALLENGE: https://stan.store/courtyhickeyUse Code: HOLYANDHEALTHYWhat better way to start the New Year than with a commitment to prioritise God? We have created the 75 Holy Challenge just for you! We hope you join us for this in the New Year. We are going to kick off on the 1st of January! If you don't want to do the challenge itself, we pray this episode encourages you with some areas of your life that you can surrender and invite God into. Galatians 5:13-18'You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh ; rather, serve one another humbly in love. For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other. So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

You Need Your Own Oil | Holy and Healthy
Surprise! Welcome to the Holy and Healthy Podcast!God is doing a new thing - and we’re jumping straight in.In this episode, we talk about why you need your own oil. The necessity of taking time to sit with Jesus for yourself and protecting your time in the secret place. We cannot live off other people’s revelations or encounters with God - we need our own intimate relationship with Him, daily. This episode is an invitation to slow down, go deeper, and allow God to fill your soul.Matthew 25:7-13 “All the bridesmaids got up and prepared their lamps. Then the five foolish ones asked the others, ‘Please give us some of your oil because our lamps are going out.’ “But the others replied, ‘We don’t have enough for all of us. Go to a shop and buy some for yourselves.’ “But while they were gone to buy oil, the bridegroom came. Then those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was locked. Later, when the other five bridesmaids returned, they stood outside, calling, ‘Lord! Lord! Open the door for us!’ “But he called back, ‘Believe me, I don’t know you!’ “So you, too, must keep watch! For you do not know the day or hour of my return.”__________________________________________________________ Connect with us!

Did you forget to have fun?
I love how God has waited for such a heavy season in my life to teach my the importance of having FUN everyday. And honestly, I need it. No, it isn't changing the circumstances or taking away the heaviness, but it is injecting joy into my spirit. Proverbs 17:22 tells us that a cheerful heart is good medicine. And truthfully, finding moments to have fun, laugh till you cry, and enjoy the goodness in this life is so important. But, as we age, and society try to tell us we need to be serious, you geniuinely need to find your fun. So I want to encourage you to find your fun today, then, then week, then month, and year. Make it part of your lifestyle, being someone who will seek out the fun. Nehemiah 8:10'And Nehemiah continued, “Go and celebrate with a feast of rich foods and sweet drinks, and share gifts of food with people who have nothing prepared. This is a sacred day before our Lord. Don’t be dejected and sad, for the joy of the Lord is your strength!” '__________________________________________________________ Connect with us!

If ChatGPT were the devil...
If you're anything like me, you probably have started using AI to help improve/automate your daily life! So why not use it to get a sense of how the devil will try to weaken our faith, to take us of the course that God has us on. I have personally fallen into many of these traps through my faith walk. But the more you abide in God, spend time in the Word and seeking His presence, the easier you see the lies for what they are - lies.Titus 2: 11-14:"For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good."__________________________________________________________ Connect with us!

Help My Unbelief
A very honest reflection of where my faith is at and how I'm learning to trust God with more and more of my faith everyday. The story of the father with faith who had unbelief has been a focal point for the last few weeks. I pray this stirs your spirit to have an honest and raw conversation with our Abba.Mark 9:24: "Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, 'Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!'"__________________________________________________________ Connect with us!

When God Feels Distant
Your guide on what to do when God feels distant, from a girl who currently feels distant from God. It's part of the faith walk, going through periods of being on fire for Jesus, to just, not. It's so easy to let that slip and become so much greater then it needs to be. I pray these practical tips help you if you are feeling distant from God. It's what I'm doing right now to prioritise time with Him again. James 4:8Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.__________________________________________________________ Connect with us!

CRAZY TESTIMONY
I genuinely am in AWE that this is happened, and that I've made a podcast about it?! PLEASE hear my heart on this; the ONLY reason I made a podcast about this is to glorify God, and hopefully, to increase your faith as a by product. This truly is a testimony of God's love, His faithfulness, and His power to restore. We pray this story blesses you, increases your faith, and draws you closer to the heart of the Father. Proverbs 11:24-25The world of the generous gets larger and larger; the world of the stingy gets smaller and smaller. The one who blesses others is abundantly blessed; those who help others are helped. __________________________________________________________ Connect with us!

Wait, we're meant to actually fast?
Okay, I'm actually growing to love fasting (which says a lot because I LOVE food!). I mean, the whole starving your flesh and forcing your Spirit man to strengthen isn't easy, BUT, it is soooo worth it. The intimacy I experience with Abba when I fast is unmatched. It genuinely makes me want to fast more, just to experience His presence.As Christians, we are called to fast. It's not optional, it's not for just the pastors and leaders - it's for everyone who follows Jesus. And the more I do it, the more I realise He instructed us to do so, so we would have intimacy with Him, and see breakthrough in our lives.When I first became a Christian I had sooo many questions and didn't know where to start with fasting, and I would have loved something like this to give me more insight and perspective on fasting. We pray this helps and encourages you in your fasting, and that you even give it a go if you never have before.My two top tips for fasting are:1. Pray for protection BEFORE you start your fast (1-2 days before). Fasting is literally starving your flesh and your sinful desires, and the enemy does not want you to do that, he will try to make your fast more difficult and have you give up. The prayer in preparation is just as important, if not more, as the prayer during!2. Have a dedicated space to go during your fast when you would normally cook/eat food to pray/worship/read your Bible. It's easy to distract yourself with your phone and numb out rather than seeking God on a fast, which is the whole point. (Talking from experience!)Matthew 6:16-18“When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."__________________________________________________________ Connect with us!

The Fullness of God
Wow, I didn't think I would share this, but when Holy Spirit prompts you, you be obedient. My view of God is always evolving as I get to understand the scriptures on a deeper level and encounter the manifest presence of God. This is a glimpse into how my views have changed since becoming a Christian, and understanding the true heart of God. There is so much fullness to experience in Him, all we have to do is ask. I pray this sparks something in your relationship with God and draws you into Him. Ephesians 3:20 "Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us". __________________________________________________________ Connect with us!

A Vulnerable Reflection on 2024 | Boundaries, Running, Health
Apologies for the teary voice, but this one was real and vulnerable. I pray this encourages you, give you hope and increases your faith. God is good. If it isn't good, God isn't done. I pray a blessing over 2025. That your faith and relationship with God will be deeper and will cause living water to flow into your life and the ones around you. I pray that you would experience more joy, peace, and love this year, and that you would bring joy, peace and love to the people around you. Matthew 1:23 "Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel (which means, God with us)" __________________________________________________________ Connect with us!

How's Your Purity?
pure (adjective): not mixed or adulterated with any other substance or material. God has been talking to me about purity A LOT of late. It's taken me a while to get the courage to talk about this on the Pod, but here we go. I pray that this encourages you to draw closer to God and to seek to live a life that is pure. There is no shame or condemnation in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1). If you want to listen to the sermon series that I referred to, here is the link: https://northpoint.org/messages/the-new-rules-for-love-sex-dating/the-right-person-myth Matthew 5:8 “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God” __________________________________________________________ Connect with us!

Winter Arc, But Make it Jesus
Is anyone else getting spammed with the whole "winter arc" thing, or is it just me? Either way, the trend made me reflect on the winter we have exited here in Brisbane, and what I focused on during that time. There are four key topics that I would encourage you to do a sense check for yourself to see how you're tracking, and how you can best set yourself up for 2025. We pray this helps you to refocus for the remainder of 2024 of the things that are most important. Psalm 118:24This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. __________________________________________________________ Connect with us!

Jesus Doesn't Want Your Beautiful
In a society where it is all about keeping up appearances and making sure we present a certain way, we get to come authentically and honestly to Jesus, no matter how ugly that is. I pray that if your prayer life has been surface level, this will encourage you to speak openly and boldly with the Father - he wants children with pure hearts, not superficial ones. Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. __________________________________________________________ Connect with us!

Building Mountain Moving Faith
WHOAAA! Holy Spirit was Holy Spiriting on this one. I have already re-listened to this three times to stir my faith and encourage myself. This episode really was for me. But if I know anything about our Abba, He doesn't want you to keep a blessing, He wants you to share it. I pray that this emboldens your faith and stirs your spirit to submit all things to the feet of Jesus, to surrender to His will, and to place your FULL trust in the one who is sovereign over it all ✩ :) xx Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. __________________________________________________________ Connect with us!

Joy of the Lord | Partnering and Listening to Jesus
John 2!! Far out, how good are the gospels?! I mean, we always know that the gospels are good, they are the Good News after all. But going through them in more detail and reading commentaries as well has been blessing me so much. I was having revelation after revelation while reading John 2. It has blessed me so much, and we pray it blesses you too. And don't forget, it's a good thing to be a good hang. Psalms 28:7 The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him. __________________________________________________________ Connect with us!

Comparison, is it Stealing Your Joy?
As humans, we fall into comparison easily and often if we are not mindful. I find myself easily getting caught up in the comparison game on a daily basis when I'm not careful of it. And I typically find, I'm slow to bring it to God. I tend to dwell on it myself first before I bring it to the Father. One quote that I love that I try to come back to when I find myself wanting to compare myself to others is this: "You should only look into another persons cup is to make sure they have enough." We pray this helps you, like it helps us, to stop comparing yourself to see where you're in your own perceived lack, but rather focus on the blessing you have already received. Galatians 1:10 Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ. __________________________________________________________ Connect with us!

The Power of Prayer and Delighting in the Lord
Offt, this episode has challenged me and my prayer life. And I can say with confidence, that I have started writing out prayer cards for people in my life, so I can proactively pray over them daily with strategy! I pray this episode encourages you to delight yourself in the Lord daily, and to start praying with the authority and belief that God will do exceedingly and abundantly more that you could ask or imagine. Psalms 35:9-10 Then my soul will rejoice in the Lord and delight in his salvation. My whole being will exclaim, “Who is like you, Lord ? You rescue the poor from those too strong for them, the poor and needy from those who rob them.” __________________________________________________________ Connect with us!

Clinging to the Promise or The Promise Giver?
The way that God really said to me, yep, you're going to share about what we're doing right now in your heart and your faith. And I said, bet. I genuinely encouraged myself as I was editing this episode, and we are PRAYING that this episode encourages and blesses you! Ask the Lord to increase your faith, to stretch you and grow you. And spend time with the Father. Be in His word. Seek His Presence. Know that He will do a NEW thing in you. He is so good. And He loves you so much. Putting Psalm 86 below. It's a good one to meditate on. "Hear me, Lord , and answer me, for I am poor and needy. Guard my life, for I am faithful to you; save your servant who trusts in you. You are my God; have mercy on me, Lord, for I call to you all day long. Bring joy to your servant, Lord, for I put my trust in you. You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you. Hear my prayer, Lord ; listen to my cry for mercy. When I am in distress, I call to you, because you answer me. Among the gods there is none like you, Lord; no deeds can compare with yours. All the nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord; they will bring glory to your name. For you are great and do marvelous deeds; you alone are God. Teach me your way, Lord , that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name. I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever. For great is your love toward me; you have delivered me from the depths, from the realm of the dead. Arrogant foes are attacking me, O God; ruthless people are trying to kill me— they have no regard for you. But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness. Turn to me and have mercy on me; show your strength in behalf of your servant; save me, because I serve you just as my mother did. Give me a sign of your goodness, that my enemies may see it and be put to shame, for you, Lord , have helped me and comforted me." __________________________________________________________ Connect with us!

What Will You Stand For?
There is no question that we are living in trying times. Times where everyone seems to have their own truth and to an extent, you can do no wrong. In a time like this, we as Christians need to be clear on what we will stand for in the faith, even when it costs us. If you're wanting some inspiration with your Bible, I highly recommend 1 Corinthians. So much wisdom and practical instruction for leading a God honouring life. "Be on guard; stand firm in your faith [in God, respecting His precepts and keeping your doctrine sound]. Act like [mature] men and be courageous; be strong. [Ps 31:24] Let everything you do be done in love [motivated and inspired by God’s love for us]." 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 __________________________________________________________ Connect with us!

What Are You Worshipping?
I'm currently writing this sick, and I am looking forward to praising the Lord when my health is restored! IYKYK Also, as an update, the app has been deleted, and it hasn't been re-downloaded either - confessing on here was a great accountability system. Idolatry is real. It can creep into our hearts. It normally starts small, but it becomes larger than we can manage in a blink of an eye. We were made to worship God and God alone. I find it to be such a trust exercise with God, to keep trusting and holding faith in the promise giver more than the promise.

Here is a link to the spiritual warfare sermon series that I HIGHLY recommend you want: https://subsplash.com/harriscreek/sermons/ms/+xvbgkxp Ephesians 6:12 "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." __________________________________________________________ Connect with us!

How Do You Hear The Voice Of God?
How do you hear the voice of God?? Faith is a relationship, which means there is two way communication. As believers, it is so important that we know the voice of our Father, and know how to hear Him. This is what we are unpacking today. Also, I wonder how many times I said, "I love my Bible" in this episode lol. This is going to then take us into Spiritual Warfare, which is going to be soooooooo good! Praying this stirs your hear to read your Bible and spend time conversing and listening to our Father.

The Church Just Wants Your Money, Right?
Yeah, we're going there. Tithing. It's a topic that to me, seems a little taboo. You don't really ask people if they tithe, you don't ask how much, and you most likely don't have accountability to tithe regularly yourself. Which can leave you questioning, why are you even doing it in the first place? The LORD has moved in me since becoming a Christian, and one of my first convictions was to tithe. Since starting that, God has blessed me beyond measure. We pray this episode challenges you and strengthens your faith. And specifically, we pray this prompts you to start tithing if you don't already. Watch what God will do. 2 Corinthians 9:7-10: 'Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. As it is written: “They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor; their righteousness endures forever.” Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

Ep 9. Can You be Holy and Masturbate? (Part 1)
Y'all, we are going in! No more mucking around - God has been prompting me to share more about the topics that I wish I had resources for when I became a Christian. And what better place to start than with sexual sin? Think of Part 1 as more of the appetiser for the main mean (Part 2), where I will go into my testimony in more depth. But before I share that, I wanted to frame it up with context, for anyone that is listening that is not a Christian and not familiar with what the Bible says about sexual sin.

Ep 8. But They Don't Deserve Forgiveness
First up, apologies if the audio quality is a bit off - my main two recordings were wackkkyyy - maybe technology being weird, maybe the enemy... But we got there with the third backup! Forgiveness is a BIG topic - it's hard, it's challenging, and it goes entirely against our flesh. But we have a God that can intercede for us and stand in the middle ground to help us release forgiveness. We have been forgiven much, so we can forgive. This was also a very vulnerable episode for me, and I'm praying it blesses you. I feel I've uncovered a new layer with the podcast, and I intend to keep letting my walls come down and share more of my mess, which is now my message.

Ep 7. Holy Habits for 2024
Happy New Year everyone! 2024 has begun, and instead of fixating on resolutions, I want to challenge you to implement these seven holy habits as we move into the new year. There is no right or wrong time to start a habit, but a beginning of a new year is always a great place to start! I encourage you to pray over these habits and seek God’s guidance as to what you should focus on.

Ep 5. Are You Getting Real Rest?
Sabbath, meaning: To Rest. Are you getting real rest? Personally, I don't think I rested properly until I started practising a Sabbath as a Christian. Deep rest is not something we are taught or encouraged to pursue in our society. We are living in a society that glorifies hustling and working non-stop; however, today we are challenging you to try something different. We pray you find deep rest in this ✩ :) xx Matthew 11:28 - "Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest."" _____________________________________________________ Connect with us!

Ep 4. Don't Let Sin Win
The Lord was moving in my quiet time this morning, and I needed to be set free from some lies I was believing. I felt prompted to share this as I believe God is going to set you free as well. The enemy will have a field day in our minds if we do not protest against his attacks with the word. We're going to dive into scripture to find the truth that we can lean on. We pray you find freedom in this ✩ :) xx Romans 6:14 - "Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God’s grace." _____________________________________________________ Connect with us!

Ep 3. Have You Let Your Dreams Die?
“Where you do not see the hope, hold onto the faith.” Where do you turn when your hope runs out? Where you do not see a situation turning around? Where you have given up on a dream or a goal? In this weeks episode, we are going to dive into scripture and see how we can take Jesus’ approach to bringing dead things back to life. Just because something looks like there is no hope left from our human lens, it doesn’t mean it’s finished. Court chats through practical strategies that are based on scripture that she has outworked in her life, both well, and you know, not so well. But we’re all human, we don’t always get it right, however with an abundance of grace, we can grow and become more like Him. We pray this stirs something in your spirit and heart, that you find a new found hope for your future ✩ :) xx “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” - Jeremiah 29:11 _____________________________________________________ Connect with us!

Ep 2. I Don't Like Being Obedient
Speaking honestly, which is what we do here - obedience isn't easy. It does not come naturally to us as humans, as we want to follow our own desires and ideas. Yet obedience to the Word of God is one of the most live giving things you and I can do in this life. Listen in as Court talks through some of her recent experiences with obedience and her perspective on how it transforms our hearts. We pray this encourages and gently convicts you in your own walk ✩ :) xx 1 Samuel 15:22 - "But Samuel replied, "What is more pleasing to the LORD: your burnt offerings and sacrifices or your obedience to his voice? Listen! Obedience is better than sacrifice, and submission is better than offering the fat of rams."" _____________________________________________________ Connect with us!
