I do a deep study of Hebrews Ch1-6.  Some points include:  1) digesting the word in order to produce fruit. (double edged sword)  2) Being a servant in order to be a good leader  3) The positive connotation of weakness and meekness in the bible as opposed to in our culture   I got a lot of cool insights out of these chapters and I hope you do as well.  Enjoy!

Hebrews Ch: 1-6 deep study

I read 1 Peter 4 and was very encouraged by it this weekend!  I highly recommend reading the full chapter.  This whole book has a lot of very practical theology.  This book mentions love covering a multitude of sins and led me to talk about meekness.  Meekness is very important during trying times, but we must look to scripture for the definition instead of the world's definition.  Meek does not equal weak, it is actually quite the contrary. instagram: @loveoutloud595 --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/holli-leslie/support

1 Peter 4: Biblical Meekness

I talk about these prophetic imageries in the OT book of Zechariah. Literally the whole bible can be summarized like this: "Stay connected to the source so that you can produce fruits of the spirit (love joy peace patience kindness goodness thankfulness gentleness self-control) and then spread light and love into the world. Therefore, be the hands and feet of Jesus. But we can't do that work and will be unproductive if we don't stay connected to the source. It is even more critical and can be even more trying during these hard times Instagram: @loveoutloud595 --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/holli-leslie/support

Zechariah 3 and 4 (The Branch, Olive Tree, and Lampstand)

Sometimes we can get so used to our habits that they rewire our brain.  Let's take Anxiety for example.  We can get so used to worrying, jumping to conclusions, ect that we do not realize that it is actually changing the structure of our brain!  Now we are at a point that is seems we cannot break out of it.  No matter what area you struggle with it is extremely difficult to break out of bad habits.  Be encouraged and know that you are still loved.  Accept the fact that this is going to take a lot of trying and a lot of failing.  In turn, this will produce a lot of humility!  Be encouraged and know that there is no growth in discomfort!  Life is a journey, so let's embrace the journey of growth instead of chasing perfection:)   What has helped you all break out of toxic or addictive cycles and do you have any advice for others?  You can send a voice message in Anchor or leave a comment or DM on Instagram @loveoutloud595 --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/holli-leslie/support

Surrendering Your Anxiety

This is a very encouraging verse about persevering in times of trouble.  I read this in multiple translations and also include some commentary that I put on it.  It also goes along with what my pastor talked about this morning, which is giving God access to EVERY area of your life and not letting the enemy put his foot in the door.  I personally have some areas where I have let the enemy chill for far too long!  And he can only do that if we welcome him (weather willingly or deceitfully on his part).  These verses were much needed and encouraged me to keep going.  I hope it encourages you as well:).

2 Corinthians 4: 16-18

Hey all!  Buckle up and get ready.  In our political and social climate today the church NEEDS to remember Titus 3.  I do a short devo on this.  It convicted me as much as it will probably convict others lol.  At the end I also wrote a song (not professionally recorded, but may in the future).  Make sure you like, share, send to friends, ect.  This is really important during these trying times.   Social Media: Instagram: @loveoutloud595 Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/Love-out-Loud-365092990657000/?ref=bookmarks --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/holli-leslie/support

Titus 3 Devo+ "Radical Love" Original Song

Please excuse my morning voice everyone lol.  I discuss how to remain a light during the time of darkness.  I am not talking about  a candle (cheap replacement), but I am talking about that holy spirit glow.  At the end of the day when the winds are released candles will be blown out too.  Let's strive to surrender to Christ so that darkness has nothing on us!  Nobody can put out God's light and we have access to it here on earth.  Let's tap in. instagram: @loveoutloud595 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yC2EKuiEkk --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/holli-leslie/support

Lights During a Time of Darkness

Christianity is funny. It seems to contradict sometimes, but in those seeming differences things also work together. Here I talk about how Christianity is both simple and hard at the same time. I will talk about what makes it simple and also five strategies to help when its hard:   1) Only speak life  2) learn to recognize the enemy  3) reading the word  4) prayer  5) worship  6) patience with yourself  instagram: @loveoutloud595 --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/holli-leslie/support

Christianity is a Paradox (Spiritual Warfare Part 2)

Spiritual warfare is one of the most important things in our Christian walk, but it is probably one of the things that I hear talked about the least.  In times of trials we must be humble and practice surrendering to God.  We cannot do this on our own!  Flesh cannot be victorious against a spirit, but we have access to power that can.  In this video I will break down tips on how to make sure you keep connected to your power source and access that power.   Video on how to grow closer to God and the importance of praying in the morning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FB8Tk...  instagram: loveoutloud595 email: loveoutloud594@gmail.com --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/holli-leslie/support

How to defeat Satan (3 practical tips for spiritual warfare)

 I took a break from the Daniel series to talk about something that has been on my heart.  We cannot tiptoe around issues going on in our world and how it is affecting the church.  The truth is Christians have different political views!  It is okay to have different views, but we must ask ourselves this:  Are we looking to political factions as an example, or are we looking to God as an example?   Instagram: @loveoutloud595 Facebook community: https://www.facebook.com/Love-out-Loud-365092990657000/ --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/holli-leslie/support

Here is part 2 of the book of Daniel series.  Make sure you go to my page for Daniel Ch 1 and 2.   Daniel is a great example of putting your full faith in God, not fearing man, and being in the world while.

The book of Daniel Ch 2: The King Understands the Power of God

Babylonian captivity: King Nebuchadnezzar takes siege of Judah and recruits some of the brightest, most intellectual, and good looking Jews to serve him directly in his palace. These men are named Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, whose names were changed to Belteshazzar, Shadrach, Meschach, and Abednego respectively. These man have a choice to make. They can either let their circumstance give them a bitter attitude, or they can use the situation to be a witness to the king and stand out despite what others are doing. instagram: @loveoutloud595 email for questions/prayer requests: loveoutloud594@gmail.com facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Love-out-Loud-365092990657000/?ref=bookmarks --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/holli-leslie/support

The Book of Daniel: Ch 1-2 (Part 1)

In this short, 3 chapter book I look at the prophecies of Joel and compare them to things that I am seeing in our generation.  There is so much we can learn from this short little book!  We see over and over again throughout scripture how God had to knock people on their behind by allowing other nations to attack or sending plagues.  However, God's wrath relented consistently every single time when the people repented.  God is a jealous God, but he is not full of rage.  If he was surely he would not give us so many chances.  It is cool to see how merciful God was even in the Old Testament.  Throughout the OT I see nothing but predictions of Christ as well as predictions for the end times. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/holli-leslie/support

The book of Joel: Commentary

  I covered these verses back in February and have new insights.  I encourage you all to listen to the old one also titled "Recognizing God's Voice" As believers we must spend time with God consistently so that we will recognize him.  When we fail to recognize God is usually comes from a long term practice of hard hardheartedness or neglect of spending time with him.  Near the end I summarize with four points and warning signs to watch so that you do not stop recognizing God when he speaks to you. instagram: @loveoutloud595 youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxFsX4qhSm8iadizYLfWSYg  facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Love-out-Loud-365092990657000/ --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/holli-leslie/support
