You Amaze Me Podcast

What’s up YAM FAM!It’s great to have you back—Happy Easter!This week’s podcast explores what it means to be “blind,” even in full daylight.Let’s pause in gratitude and turn to Scripture, reflecting together on the posture of our hearts, so that God may be the brightest light 🌞May our prayer be like Psalm 119:18 — that our eyes would be opened to behold the wonderful things in His Word.Have a blessed week—see you next time.– Elina ✨

What’s up YAM FAM! ✨This week, we’re diving into what the Bible says about people-pleasing—and why we’re called to live for God’s approval, not people’s.In Galatians 1:10, we’re reminded to live a life that pleases God, not one that constantly seeks the approval of others.It’s easy to slip into “actor mode”—presenting one version of ourselves on the outside while living differently behind the scenes 📹 — But God calls us to something deeper: authenticity, integrity, and a heart fully aligned with Him.Draw near to Him. Seek His approval above all else.Have a blessed week—see you next time.– Elina ✨

What’s up YAM FAM!This week, we’re talking about what it means to truly soak in the Word — not just read it, but let it sink in and transform you from the inside out. There are seasons where you can feel dry, stuck, or like nothing is working… but maybe the invitation isn’t to strive — it’s to be still.Trust His timing. He is faithful to soften hearts and make them new, just like in Ezekiel 36:26 — giving you a heart of flesh in place of stone.And hey… sometimes we’re like pasta 🍝 — not quite ready yet. But if you stay in the process a little longer, you’ll be exactly where you need to be.Stay soaking. Stay trusting.Have a blessed week — see you next time.– Elina ✨

What’s up y’all? Today we have another episode out on the YAM Podcast! It’s so lovely to have you here with us.This week’s podcast is all about meeting God halfway. Despite our shortcomings or excuses, the invitation is simply to meet Him—like a Father stretching out His hands for His child.We also talk about how someone’s actions may have gone against the grain, but that didn’t stop them from going to meet their friend anyway. Sometimes faith looks like showing up even when things aren’t perfect.Have a blessed week. See you next time.– Elina

In this episode, we reflect on Gospel of Luke 16:10 (NIV) — “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much...”I share a simple, honest moment: convincing myself I needed a brand new pair of running shoes before I could start… when really, I just needed to start.Because maybe it’s not about what we have — it’s about what we do with what we have. Faithfulness begins in the small things. Even the shoes already in your closet.

What's up y'all? Welcome back to another episode here on the YAM Podcast. Today we look at expectations. Ones we have in our daily lives and even expectations we set for God. What expectations am I setting for God? Is it true…Let’s not box God. See how we can reflect with Elina’s stories and with scripture. Have a blessed week. See you next time.-ElinaKey Scripture: Acts 3:1-10 NIVOne day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer—at three in the afternoon. 2 Now a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts. 3 When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money. 4 Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, “Look at us!” 5 So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them.6 Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” 7 Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong. 8 He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God. 9 When all the people saw him walking and praising God, 10 they recognized him as the same man who used to sit begging at the temple gate called Beautiful, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

What's up y'all? Welcome back to another episode here on the YAM Podcast. Today we dive into the uncomfortable topic of how we - ourselves, yep you and me make mistakes. It never feels good at the time. Even how we can easily put the blame on God. But let's remind ourselves who God is and how we can apply His Word in our lives today. For change. Have a blessed week. See you next time.-ElinaKey Verse: Psalm 19:7 NIV "The law of the Lord is perfect,refreshing the soul.The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy,making wise the simple."

What's up y'all? I pray you have had a lovely month of January. Can you believe we are in February. Today Elina shares about how we may try to outrun things in our own life, but how we are called to travel a different road. Though it is not easy, we must remember our destination and where we want to go. So that when the things that hold us back are traveling to a different destination, we can regain our course. Have a blessed week. See you next time. -Elina

We’ve all been there. It’s easy to say ‘you forgive someone’ than to do it. Today's episode I share how it’s important to no longer hold onto hurt. To let go, and to let God. I invite you to listen to today’s episode.

We all worry about things in life. The BiG and especially the small. Let's see this weeks God Wink, and how at times we doubt but why we need to learn to trust in the process.

It is true when they say, you are what you make it. We can all obtain it, but not everyone chooses to go the extra mile - the difference being the value of the thing we want to obtain. Amongst our struggle to ask for help and battling our own mindset, God is waiting with the vanilla ice-cream. May you be blessed and encouraged.

Why we always be in a rush. If we do something, why don't we enjoy the time and be intentional with our time? See how this week we see an example of me being in a rush. I hope we can be encouraged and realise more about how we can spend our time in the Word and in God's presence.

I-scream. You scream. We all scream for ice-cream. Well, who thought even Maccas icecream would draw us closer to God and His Word. See how this week has shown me more about the nature of us humans and how we can change. Stay blessed.

Spilling the tea about tea bags. See how even I learn about how we should store tea bags. But most importantly how it links back to the Bible and the verses related to ones own character. May you be left encouraged and blessed by today’s topic.
