Shine - Erin Bubb

Being a mom is the most Ministry thing we will ever do. It’s our job to raise, disciple and launch or kids into this world. Don’t ever think being “just a mom” isn’t hard work. 

We hide behind stones in our life out of protection. We don’t want to let anyone in to the places that stink in our life but Jesus wants to heal what’s behind the stone and bring you back to life. 

In today’s episode we parallel our relationship with God to an earthly marriage to learn how we can have more personal intimacy with the Bridegroom 

When you actually stop and think about the scripture of the narrow gate to heaven it can make you wonder if you’re actually on the right path. I think that’s the whole point, a constant self reflection of our walk in the here and now. We need to walk intentionally if we are going to stay on the straight and narrow. 

This message has been pulled out of the archives because it’s such a great topic and one we all need constant reminders of. Setting up healthy boundaries is so important. It can be hard to do but so necessary to guard and protect the one life God is gifted you. 

“We have dust on our bibles, brand new iPhones and wonder why we feel this way.” - Josiah Queen. 

Parable of the sower is a great story to start the new year and make sure our hearts are postured correctly to receive what God wants to plant in our hearts this year. 

Sit with us and listen in as we have real conversations about theology, life, Bible, culture and Jesus. It always comes back to and centers on Jesus! 

There is a battle raging all around us all the time. You need to be awakened to it, understand it and put on your armor to stand against it. We are called to expose and push back darkness but lets be sure we are doing it the correct way... The Jesus way!!

There are moments in life when the temperature of culture gets turned up and you see a major shift happening. Emotions are ant the surface and people are raw. As followers of Jesus how should we respond and act within the body of Christ….. 

Do you ever get stuck comparing yourself to others? It’s called the comparison “trap” for a reason. It’s the very thing the enemy likes to use to trap you so that you aren’t free to become everything God created YOU to be.

Listen to Emma’s testimony, as a 17 year old girl fights the culture of popularity and needing to be liked by everyone and leans in to the hard seasons to find her worth that only comes from Jesus! Emma’s life statement is now a permanent reminder on her forearm that whatever she becomes, it’s all for an “Audience of ONE” 

Raising kids is hard but then there comes a time when you have to pray you did everything you could. Trust that you trained them up well, leave them in God’s hands, let go and launch them into the world…

Are you living by the word or are you following the world. What are you allowing to influence your life? Who are you influencing where God has you? Could you have idols of the world set up in your life that God might be asking you to remove so He can take his place as king of your heart again?

Im calling out the gifts within you all this month and I want you to hear a really cool story of how God started working in Patricia's heart a few years ago and what is happening now because of her willingness to step out in faith and think past herself! 

We live in a world where confusion is the enemies biggest tactic. If you don't know exactly who you are and WHO'S you are you are left wide open to attack. The bible says our enemy is like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. BUT when your identity is firmly founded on truth, the storms can come and the wind can blow and you will not be shaken! 

Listen as Angie and I talk about what true God centered friendship is like. Just because God is in it doesn’t mean it’s always going to be easy but it knowing He has a plan it’s worth it. Keeping Him at the table has helped us get through so much and have the strongest friendship ever!

As I am taking a break this Summer and honoring what God has called me to "REST" I wanted to Re-Share a message that I did a little over a year ago. This was a message on how God uses women. I want to share this again because the Shine ministry needs you. We need your gifts and talents. We need what God has placed inside of you! "Maybe you were created for such a time as this." Sister, It's time to step into your calling.

While at home on summer break I thought it would be so much fun to interview my boys on the podcast and let you have a glimpse into an everyday conversations that we have around our table in the Bubb home!
