I have been STRUGGLING in general with my walk with the Lord. But, this in the first 10 minutes has disarmed me and I feel the peace of Lord pressing in on me! I pray for a friend like what you describe in the natural but I’m hearing the Lord say “Im your friend”! Thank you! 🙏🏽
I had this realization while watching this video. I'm learning to be a true friend through some business connections who are believers as well. My hope was just to learn how to build a successful company from people who know how, which has been awesome, but they have shown me an example of loyalty that I have never seen before and I'm learning how much discipline/dying to oneself and intentionality it takes to be a loyal friend and/or partner with someone in life but on the otherside, how encouraging and life giving it is. My hearts cry was to have loyal friends like this my whole life and all my friendships fell short of my expectations and eventually fade out . Thinking back it was probably more my inability to be a friend then the other person. But regardless I would run to Jesus because He was the only one that never let me down. I felt so on fire for Jesus that I thought I would go into full time ministry. That door never opened but instead God is teaching me how to be a friend to other people in a very unexpected way (the very thing I desired in the beginning but was running from because it was too uncomfortable).
This was so sweet and holy convicting. May we have hearts like Mary to purely build one another in the body of Christ and may we truly see Jesus in each other ..That's the only way we can truly live in love and glorify Jesus ❤❤
Wow that piece about Jesus being vulnerable and seen by his disciples while covering Judas was SO good to carry into your friendships. I’ve never heard that perspective depicted.
I love that you both are so authentic and not looking for fame. I felt like I was in the room with you and my heart was so encouraged. May God bless this podcast to glorify His name.
Wow! I always interpreted Jesus asking his disciples if they were going to leave him also in a challenging stern way/voice, never in a vulnerable emotional way 😭
Man this was soo good! I completely relate being a pk it’s almost traumatic serving bc of ppl. But Jessica you’re right ppl are flawed but Christ isn’t we shouldn’t confuse the 2. I love your friendship and pray that God protect it for a lifetime 🙏🏾❤️ loyalty, grace, commitment that’s love
Thank you for this. I’m a pk and gpk and our family walked through similar rejection in my childhood. It’s so good to know that Jesus knows every feeling, every thing we go through. Thank you for your honesty and vulnerability. I wept through both parts of this. ❤😭🙌🏻
This just reminds me of the scripture when they asked Jesus…‘what’s the greatest commandment?’ And he said it’s to love the Lord and to love your neighbor as you love yourself. Listening to this is such a blessing. I feel convicted to be a better and more intentional friend. Not because I expect something in return, but because it’s loyal to Jesus.
Sisterhood/ friendship Explanation so well. Secondary offenses are so real they suck life out of everything! We need more Jesus habits than world habits. Mind of Christ. Put on the full armor of God! Amen!
Thanks a lot for that, Jessica and Steffany 🎉. We pray for more real love amongst us Christians and for resources for the new Jesus Image building. Blessings from Austria 🇦🇹, Peter 1 Thes 3,12: And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you
This really REALLY blesses my heart to hear both of you share. Thank you for your beautiful transparency and being so authentic. It honestly hurts my heart to hear what Jessica has been through with some in the Body of Christ, but how much more beautiful to hear stories about Bonke of course showing up and fighting for your dad’s life in the hospital. Deeply moving. Bless both of you. 💜
Jessica, thank you for sharing your podcast with topics that create a place of sharing, community and leadership which we continue to edify one another and all Glory to Jesus! I'm looking forward to more episodes. Be blessed my sister in Christ. Our first love and best friend is Jesus, always! 🙏🌺
I loved listening it was a fresh reminder, the lord teaching me about celebrating what his doing in others as i wait for my breakthrough. Its easier said than done but i feel i have matured in this area in the last 2 years. Leraning to renounce self as much as possible has helped me a lot. Love you ladies.
The 1st podcast my thoughts went to King David and his friendship with Jonathan. I love that the Bible gave us a picture of the friendship you two have and that we should all strive to have. Celebrate each other. Yes 🙌🏻 and action
There is so much profound wisdom in your words. I am grateful for the depth of the conversation, and so encouraged. The topic of friendship would be a great book for you, Jessica, because so many in the body of Christ need to hear what you have to say. I know, I need it. 😊
Jess your side of things and insight it SO what I’ve been longing for, all of these years watching you and Michael I’ve been longing to hear your wisdom as a woman and mother! I heard you share about betrayal in 2021 in Orange County and I was like mannnnn I know there’s healing in her words! So so thankful for this new podcast! PART 3 YOU GUYS!! PLS PLS PLS
I love this! Thank you so much for sharing. It’s truly wanting me to be a better friend to the precious friends God has placed in my life. God bless you both!!❤️❤️
This is so awesome @Jess&Steff, so awesome! Wow, so raw indeed. I am so blessed and you make me look forward to each Sunday afternoon. Watching from United Kingdom. Love you ❤❤❤
I don’t want this to end. Bless you ladies! I called a God given friend after the first episode to reconnect and Jesus met us on the phone. 😭🙌🏽😍 Also a question.. who is Danny soak? Soad? Give me the spelling of his last name and I can look him up 😃
I learnt so much including learning what self really is i did not known the desire of wanting to be known or be seen is a self thing i thought that there is something really wrong with me and condemn myself for struggling with it now i Know i can just take it to Jesus an he will help me die to it. OOH another thing that really spoke to me is the importance of being vulnerable i normally just shut own an avoid people.Lastly the importance of loyalty I got so much insight on this as well.Thank you
it was so wonderful to hear the wisdom and heart of your friendship, i was truly humbled to see that this is what godly true friendship looks like, thank you for setting an example to us🤍
