In this episode, let's pray for our unsaved friends, family, and loved ones. Sometimes the Holy Spirit really presses on me to stop, drop, and pray for someone specific. I'm sure I'm not alone in this. So, let's pray together for the poeple in our lives who don't know the peace, joy, and grace of Jesus (yet). Let's lift our prayers up to the Lord today and focus on the miracle of salvation.

In this episode we talk about what will feel meaningful to give up this Lent, how to find the right balance for yourself (not under or over-doing your commitments), and ideas and encouragements for how to let go of comforts to cultivate a more good and holy posture toward the Lord this season. I hope it blesses you.

We're starting a new thing on the pod. At the beginning of every month we'll have one episode dedicated to praying over you and your month. This month I pray for your covering and protection from spiritual warfare, for your Lent season to be blessed, and for you to come into agreement with who you are through your identity in Christ. I hope this prayer supports you. If you know someone in your life who could use this prayer please pass it along to them. Scripture references: Psalm 91 and 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24

In this episode I share what God's been teaching me through my life experience of recent grief and loss of a family member + how we can use these hard times in our life to grow closer and more in love with our Savior.
I also share some ways we can be praying for the tragedies in Isreal and for the demonic forces at play. Remember, we follow a Risen King who already has the victory. Prayer is a powerful spiritual discipline we must lean on in hard times. Have faith, my loves.

Ever have one of those seasons where God is pressing in HARD and teaching you, showing you, and convicting you - daily? That about sums up my summer and I wanted to spend time in the first episode of season 2 !! to share 3 lessons that are helpful, loving reminders how God's always at work in you, even if you don't see Him or feel Him.

Aside from building a habit of reading the Bible, what books are best for new Christians? This was a huge learning curve for me. So in the spirit of summer reading I've put together a list of my 5 favorite books for believers. We also talk about why it's a good thing that where you start in your believer journey with teachers and authors isn't where you'll end up. I share one of my stories about that in the show notes. Go check that out while you listen along.

access the full episode notes here: https://www.elizaceci.com/blog/should-christians-use-herbs-and-flower-essences
Can I still use flower essences and herbs as a Christian? Is it biblical? Or, is it witchcraft, divination, and idolatry? Let’s have this much needed and nuanced conversation.
Essentially the BIG question we’re asking is, is it ok to use plants, like herbs, in a wellness practice? Is it witchcraft? Is it wrong? Am I actively rebelling against God? And the answer is, it depends.
So, I want to share with you in this episode some thoughts about this, where I’m currently at with each of these, what I’m learning about if it’s biblical to use plants in our everyday lives and if it is, how can we do it WELL.

In this episode I share one really specific thing I was recently convicted by God to STOP. The new age can run so deep and I truly didn't think much of this BUT Jesus showed me - YES, it is a big deal. Obviously I listened and I'm sharing the story with you today. Honestly, some of the new age stuff I used to believe in is so embarassing. If you're an ex new ager like me, can you relate?
Make sure to click over to the show notes to use the journal prompts to help yourself find any areas where you might be doing this too. I hope this episode helps you today. If you do like this pod, I'd be so grateful if you'd share it was a friend or two who'd like it. -

If you’ve been frustrated with all the algo changes and pressure to live your life through a social media lens instead of living your actual life to the fullest I think you’ll like what we’re talking about in episode 18.
I’ve been wrestling with should I or shouldn’t I quit social media for a while - almost a year, actually. You too? I wanted to leave it behind because I knew it was a problem for me for a handful of reasons. And obviously, I was procrastinating on it. But then, the Holy Spirit came and said, ‘Eliza, enough!’
In this week’s episode, I want to share my experience of doing a 40-day instagram fast (which quickly shifted into leaving instagram for good).

In this episode, we talk about the fears that consume you when you're first saved - specifically about sharing the changes that have or are happening to you. But it's also fear of: rejection, isolation, being misunderstood, made fun of, of your life changing in-not-good-feeling-ways... And these are all valid.
I'm coaching you today if you have any fear around your faith and who God is calling you to be. Grab a notebook or a fresh note on your phone app and let's explore this together.

Wherever you might be on your believer journey, I think we can all agree there are challenges. Afraid of messing up, being judged, losing friends, fights with your husband or kids, not feeling ‘ready’ to share your faith - it’s all pretty complicated and emotional.
I want to take some time over the next several weeks to cover some of the biggest challenges new believers, ex new agers, and Christian women face with solutions, tools, and resources to help you on your faith journey.
Today we look at the 6 most common challenges and some small steps you can take to move through them with grace.

In this episode...
what is happening when we feel far from God or, like God is silent or has abandoned us
examples of people in scripture that’ve felt this way too (you aren’t alone when you feel abandoned)
taking an honest inventory of what’s happening when you feel far from God and healthy steps to get back on track
plus, prompts and practices to focus on when you’re in this silent spiritual season
and, last, I share 5 promises from God with scripture to lean on in a season of silence, loneliness, or feeling like you’re walking in the dark
I hope this episode supports you in moments or seasons when you feel distant from God. He's always with you and will never, ever abandon you. Sometimes its about shifting our perception and posture to grow closer with Him again.

What's going on with the new age and teaching women and girls to worship their period blood (also called moonblood) in rituals? Is it safe? Does God like it? Should you stop?
In this episode we're looking at a new age practice that's getting really popular. It can look like giving your period blood to house plants or back to the earth (as a spiritual practice or as fertilizer). And it can grow into putting the blood on your face as a facial!
I hope you've never even heard about this topic BUT if you've been taught this and practiced it on your own, like I did, I want to talk about it.
In this episode...why is it called ‘moontime’ and ‘moonblood’? and an explanation of the period blood practice that's being taught to new agers
where did this practice originate? who are the people who are most likely to be attracted to it + why
I share my experience participating in this practice for 2 years + what I learned once I stopped (I hope this encourages you)
the red flags to look out for when choosing practices and teachers
and, a 3 part discernment practice to decide if what you're doing is ok and honoring to God

In this episode I share my Bible testimony. What did God show me when I was newly saved about reading His Word? And where I am currently. I share my current Bible reading plan too for the nosy rosey's out there. wink.
And, we talk about the #1 biggest mistake I see ex new agers and new believers make when reading the Bible. I'm seeing this in trends on insta reels and tiktok (and tbh I don't like it).
