Episode 129 Grow Where We Are Planted . Faith, Family, And Fundamentals With Fran Podcast . ‘Grow Where We Are Planted’ . If we remain content in whatever state we find ourselves, we will grow wherever God has planted us. This can only be achieved through Godly contentment. That means, when the going gets tough, we do not take matters into our own hands, but be willing to pray and cast all of our cares on the Lord, because He cares for us. We must acknowledge and trust in Him and His wisdom, so that we do not lean unto our own understanding. Having faith in God grows our hope that God will come through for us, and hope allows us to remain Godly content, so that we grow, wherever we are planted.    New Podcast Episodes Every Thursday 8 AM ET:  . #supportblackwomen #castropolispodcastnetwork #family #blackgirlinspiration #blackqueens #womenwholead #creativity #blacktruth #faith #christianity #leadership #jesusislord #God #prayermatters #peace #women #faithfamilyandfundamentalswithfranpodcast #socialjusticewarrior #prayerwarrior #changemustcome #family #friends #focusonthecross #seekchrist #ambassadorsofchrist #jesuschrist #blackwomen #growth #faith #growwhereweareplanted

Episode 128 Be Introspective . Faith, Family, And Fundamentals With Fran Podcast . Be Introspective . While our eyes are truly windows to our souls, it is imperative that we gain the clarity that only God grants from being introspective; that is, looking deep within ourselves, to ensure that God’s imprint, His will, His word and His way dwells within us. Looking outward and seeing others allow us to be observant, but looking deep within, permits us to examine ourselves, so that we can improve our walk with the Lord. God’s word reminds us to ‘examine ourselves,’ so be obedient and be introspective. .

SPECIAL ENCORE EPISODE: My Peace  . Faith, Family, And Fundamentals With Fran Podcast . My Peace . In the midst of such great storms, it is so easy to get distracted and lose our sense of peace. Yet God’s word in Philippians 4:7 reminds us to “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” If we trust Him and let Him know about ALL our struggles, desires, matters and needs, He will keep our hearts and minds in perfect peace!! .

EPISODE 126 Write The Vision  . Faith, Family, And Fundamentals with Fran Podcast . Write the Vision . Vision is the ability to imagine and wisely plan your desired outcomes. Those who lack vision have nothing to work for, hope for, expect, or run toward. God’s Word reminds us in Proverbs 29:18, “Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keep the law, happy is he.” In other words, one must have vision or he finds no reason to push forward, nothing to believe in, not a single task or destination worth running for or profound enough to make haste towards.When we conceive, believe, and write the vision, we exercise certain faith that promotes the hand of God. .

Faith, Family, And Fundamentals With Fran Podcast . Episode 39: Black Man . To every Black Man, put on the whole armor of God, as you have been so “Fearfully and Wonderfully made.” Anything less will only keep you living beneath your privilege and unavailable to God’s true purpose for your life. The most masculine move that you can make, if you love yourself, your family, and most importantly, God is to ‘In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path.” Just know that You Are Blessed and Favored by the Lord. Remember, if you can look up, get up, stand up, raise your hands up, yet reach down and pull someone else up, God will certainly uplift and hold you up! . New Podcast Episodes Thursday 8 AM ET

Episode 125 Freedom to Choose  . The Fall season is God’s own time of quiet restoration; a restart, even a renaissance, which means a revival or a rebirth. God has granted us the means and the freedom to restart our mindset, our ways and our modes of operation. If you are struggling with yourself, a positive mindset, physical or mental imprisonment, or the will to do things the way God has commanded us, tap into the freedom of restarting. God’s word so clearly stated, “Choose you this day whom you will serve..” A liberating God has granted each of us the ‘Freedom to Choose.’ .

SPECIAL ENCORE EPISODE: Letter To My Black Son    . Faith, Family, And Fundamentals with Fran Podcast . Letter To My Black Son . I want to remind you, even if you do not have sons, you may have brothers, fathers, husbands, cousins, uncles, nephews or friends; and no matter how many of these young black men exist within your family, immediate or extended, the loss of ANY one of them is devastating. While we do not have the capacity to protect them from a system that appears to prey on our black sons, we do have a God that CAN and WILL protect. If you truly love these black men in your life, keep each uplifted in prayer, live for the Lord and teach each black son to do likewise. Lead by example and God WILL ANSWER your prayers. .

Episode 124 Wait: Purpose in Patience  . Faith, Family, And Fundamentals with Fran Podcast .   Wait: Purpose in Patience . Spending a single night in the emergency room provided such clarity about our need to wait patiently on the Lord, as there is purpose in our patience. The waiting room experience is two-fold; it teaches us to be patient while we wait, and in those hours, we are reminded that we are most Blessed and Highly Favored.  In the ER we see so many real people, who spend their lives waiting for the bare necessities that we oftentimes take for granted. During the long hours that we wait, God allows us to witness the least of us, who would feel privileged to endure our issues. Spending time in the ER reminds us well, that we could have, should have and would have been in the same predicaments of the downtrodden, but for the grace and mercy of God. The same strengthens our Blessed reassurance, that if He has not already answered, if God has not yet shown up to resolve it, He will. In the meantime, wait patiently, as there is purpose in patience. ‘Wait, I say, on the Lord!’ .

Episode 123 Salvation Is Free; Benefits Cost . Faith, Family, And Fundamentals with Fran Podcast . Salvation Is Free; Benefits Cost   Salvation really is free, but the benefits cost. According to Luke 9:23, Christ warned His disciples, “…If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.” Such words confirm that while God’s saving grace is freely available to everyone, His expectation is that those anticipating eternal life MUST live and give his/her life to witnessing and demonstrating the walk and ways of Christ, daily; hence enduring our crosses. The benefits of salvation cost us the work of carrying our crosses; no cross, no crown. .

Episode 121 Be Intentional . Faith, Family, And Fundamentals with Fran Podcast . Be Intentional . When you are intentional, you simply refuse to focus on problems, rather placing your time and attention deliberating on achieving those goals to which you have committed. When you embrace God’s plan for your life, you become purpose driven; therefore, you learn to allow others issues to remain with the owners and originators of their own matters. Over time, through experience, and with God-nurtured maturity, you learn to focus on the main thing; living with intentionality. Once we understand that we were created by an intentional God, we strive to emulate Him. Because we belong to Him and He to us, at all times, we must ’be intentional.’ .

Episode 120 In Spirit And In Truth . Faith, Family, And Fundamentals with Fran Podcast . . In Spirit And In Truth . Both the spirit and truth are necessary for us to engage in God-honoring worship. Spirit without truth leads to a shallow, overly emotional experience that could be compared to a high. As soon as the emotion is over, when the fervor cools, or the music stops, the worship ends. Truth without spirit can result in a dry, passionless encounter that can leave us full of questions but lacking the joy that can only be ushered in by the Spirit of the Lord. Once we become one with the spirit and fully knowledgeable of the truth, we can then worship God ‘in spirit and in truth.’   .

Episode 119 Parents’ Divine Assignment. Faith, Family, And Fundamentals with Fran Podcast . Parents’ Divine Assignment’   Our children are special gifts from God that represent parents’ ‘divine assignment;’ so it would behoove you to “Train up your child in the way that he should go, so that when he is old, he will not depart from it.’ Your life-living is like a letter that you’ve written to your children, and they read it every day. Of course, the letter most accurately reveals who you are, what you really believe, who they are and how you truly feel about them. Even from their first read, the letter sets in motion who your children are destined to become, The letter reveals all of your truths as it molds your children into the good, the bad or the ugly; so stop allowing all that might be broken or damaged between you parents, to leave your child or children broken. In the wise words of Fredrick Douglas. “It is easier to raise strong children than to repair broken men.”    ..

Episode 118 Strength in the Struggle . Faith, Family, And Fundamentals with Fran Podcast . Strength in the Struggle   The struggle is a necessity to strengthen our faith and grow our patience. God’s word has said, ‘His strength is made perfect in our weakness;’ the times we struggle the most. We are reminded in James 1:4, to “Let patience have her perfect work in you.” Once patience has developed, grown and matured, we become better capable of handling diverse struggles; we even become better at helping and praying others through life’s most difficult matters; hence, from strength to strength. Just know that God-given strength is born out of struggle, as the mother of strength is struggle. While you are going through trials and changes, praise God always, because there is ‘strength in the struggle.’  .

Episode 117 God’s Chosen . Faith, Family, And Fundamentals with Fran Podcast . God’s Chosen   We have all been called from the weaknesses of our human selves, to the marvelous light that illuminates the dark places of this world, and facilitates our souls re-connection to the Spirit of the Lord. To move beyond just being called, one must partake in the divine reunion of the human soul and the precious Spirit of the Lord. God’s word has said, “Choose you this day whom you will serve; as for me and my house, ‘We Will Serve the Lord!” After all, those who make a conscious decision to wholeheartedly serve the Lord in spirit and in truth, those are they who are truly God’s Chosen. .

Episode 115 God’s Economy of Things . Faith, Family, And Fundamentals with Fran Podcast . God’s Economy of Things   “Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.” God’s economy of things includes matters, situations, occurrences, places, and yes even people, all strategically positioned for His divinely purposeful distribution. You and I are God’s people, but within His economy, we are at times coupled with the thing to which He sends His word, and the thing that Must prosper, as a result of His intervention. After all, “All things work together for good to those who love the Lord and are the called according to His purpose.” In God’s economy, mass distribution, protection and provisions ALL take place through, by and within ‘things;’ God’s Economy of Things.   New Podcast Episodes Every Thursday 8 AM EDT . #supportblackwomen #castropolispodcastnetwork #family #blackgirlinspiration #blackqueens #womenwholead #creativity #blacktruth #faith #christianity #leadership #jesusislord #God #prayermatters #peace #women #faithfamilyandfundamentalswithfranpodcast #socialjusticewarrior #prayerwarrior #godseconomyofthings #faith

Episode 114 Be Strong In the Lord . Faith, Family, And Fundamentals with Fran Podcast . Be Strong In the Lord .   Paul’s words, “Be strong in the Lord,” are referring to our spiritual strength; our ability to stand, even when the enemy seems to have the upper hand. God wants us to gain such spiritual strength, that when others abuse us, we still stand firm, serving the Lord, and speaking positively. Such ability can only be sustained by putting on the whole armor of God, which represents the defense we must take in our spiritual lives. As God’s own children, in the army of the Lord, we must be adorned in the Belt of Truth, the Breastplate of Righteousness, the Gospel of Peace, the Shield of Faith, the Helmet of Salvation, and the Sword of the Spirit; to such, God adds grace, stamina and increases our strength, so that we can ‘Be strong In the Lord!’ .
