4 years ago, the Lord allowed me to launch the Friend to Friend podcast with the help of Jennifer Beil our media director and Mindy Tingson our social media coordinator.  This ministry began as my heart’s desire to partner with like-minded Christians, sharing their testimonies and biblical wisdom to equip and encourage the women of our church. It has been wonderful to see God use and bless my heart’s desire to reach listeners, many of which I will never meet this side of Heaven. We covered a vast array of topics that encouraged and helped ladies for which I am grateful and give God the glory. For me, the season of hosting this podcast has now come to a close, but I pray that Friend to Friend will continue to be a collective resource of help and encouragement for listeners to continue to glean from! Tune in to hear the podcast team say, "Goodbye." -Jessica, Founder & Host of the Friend to Friend podcast srbcnewnan.com Instagram Facebook Media Director: Jennifer Beil Social Media Coordiantor: Mindy Tingson Logo Design: Jamie Hurst

 Motherhood: God’s Greenhouse For Growth. Join me and 5 other guests as we share how motherhood has become a greenhouse of growth - a place of fruit and thorns, sowing and reaping, purging and cutting back. And for what purpose? To be grown in His likeness - our Shepherd and Savior, the Master Gardener, for in leading our children we become students led by His hand. Friends, in sharing these stories, I hope to give you the opportunity to say, “What?! You too? I thought I was the only one!” You are not alone and when days are long and you don’t feel like you measure up, don’t forget to look up. Look up to our Savior who has promised to equip us for the journey if we will walk in His ways and in His spirit, instead of our tired flesh.  Look behind to younger mothers looking for help and encouragement and look ahead to wiser mothers, further down the road, for the same hope.  And friends, if motherhood is not a road you’re traveling, I hope these stories will give insight for how to pray for those you know doing their best to mother their children well.  Connect with us!

 As children, we often dream of what our lives will be and make plans for carefully scripted ideals. But we've all seen carefully scripted lives go off script - whether through tragedy or even unexpected blessings. When life goes off script, we are quick to wonder, “What is God doing? Why did he allow this?” Trials, especially, remind us that the we are not the author of our own stories. We can be tempted to question,“Is the Author trustworthy?” In today’s episode, Dan and Janice Wolfe share how God in His goodness took trials that could have destroyed their faith and turned those trials into gifts of grace - drawing them closer into fellowship. Their lives have been touched by the death of a spouse, divorce, and an illness that forever changed their child. The Wolfes testify to the truth that God can truly work ALL things together for our good and for His glory. Connect with us!

Parenting is such a gift but it is also not without its trials too. As believers, we know that it is through Christ that God wants to equip us to parent our children well.  Galatians 5 tells us that as Christians we are to walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh. Today, my guest Erica Lerisse joins me to share how the Lord is teaching her to parent in His power vs. the strength of her own flesh. We know that like Corrie Ten Boom once said, “I cannot but Jesus in me can!” Connect with us! friend2friend.home.blog Instagram Facebook Media Director: Jennifer Beil Social Media Coordinator: Mindy Tingson Logo Design: Jamie Hurst

Thanks for tuning in today for our second episode of Season 5, themed “I Cannot but Jesus in Me Can,” words that were once spoke by Holocaust survivor and Christian, Corrie Ten Boom. One of the greatest lessons that Corrie spoke of was that because of Christ in her, she was enabled to forgive one of her once Nazi captors. Corrie traveled the world for 30 plus years after the war sharing this lesson of forgiveness made possible through Christ. As Christians we can become equipped and enabled to extend Christ’s forgiveness to others but then can find it hard to receive that same forgiveness for our own sins and short-comings. We become our own worst enemy held back by guilt and shame. Today, my friend Chris Segers joins me to share her story of overcoming her past and how God has enabled her to live a life of freedom from guilt and shame to love Him and serve others.

During the month of December my husband J.R. often preaches a series of Advent sermons that prepare our hearts so well to celebrate the birth of our Saviour. This past Sunday morning he preached the following sermon, “The Significance of the Swaddling Clothes” depicting the wondrous fullfilment of the prophesied Messiah - the Lamb of God who taketh away the sins of the world. I pray that like me you will find yourself moved to worship our Saviour, a miraculous gift to a sin-cursed people. Happy listening friends! May it bring hope to your heart and help from His Word.

Welcome back listeners! Today begins Season 5 of the podcast! We've started this season by inviting Wendy Burks back to the podcast to share the story of Corrie Ten Boom and her courageous witness in the face of evil. Each month after, you can look forward to unique stories of overcoming adversity, healing after an abortion, parenting in the power of the Holy Spirit, one woman’s story of battling mental illness and how to respond when life goes off script. I look forward to sharing these episodes with you - the conversations that I will have with women, who like Corrie Ten Boom can say, “ I cannot, but Jesus in me can!". Happy listening, friends!
