054. Minisode No Anxiety, Bring It In Prayer

Hey Sis!
In the month of November, I will be reading a devotion from the book on the podcast every Monday. In September I read from section 1 of the book, which was about dealing with the hurt. In October, I read from section 2, which was about growing closer to God. This month, I will be reading from section 3, which is about finding yourself.
This month, I’ll be reading devotions about getting back the things the enemy stole from you like your peace, joy, strength, and identity.
Today’s excerpt is about bringing your anxiety to God in prayer. The scripture reference is Philippians 4:6-7 (NLT).
How can you find peace after your heart has been broken and your world has been shattered? Now you’re feeling anxiety about your future. What’s going to happen next? Sis, God doesn’t want you to experience anxiety, and He’s the only one who can truly take it away. Bring it to Him in prayer. This is one of my favorite devotions from the book. Listen up!

052. A Toxic Relationship, Gaslighting, Foolish Behavior, Plus a Mother’s Love and God’s Grace, Pt. 1 with Rachel Stephens

Hey Sis!
Today’s episode may be a little triggering for some of you if you were involved in this type of relationship, so read the show notes and decide if this episode is right for you.
Have you ever been in a relationship with someone, yet you were still lonely? Were you ever in a relationship where you were disrespected, degraded, used, and verbally, emotionally, and even financially abused? Have you ever struggled because you did things in a relationship that you weren’t proud of just to be seen and loved by a man?
Today, we are talking to another one of my sisters from another mister. She is being super vulnerable and sharing all the deets about a past toxic relationship that was a turning point for her. The conversation was so good and deep that I split it into 2 episodes. 
In part 1, Rachel takes us through all that she endured in a particular toxic relationship. Rachel believed she was making sacrifices for the sake of building a future with this man. However, he had other plans and took advantage of her kindness and all she was willing to give.
A little about our guest:  Rachel L. Stephens, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker and currently serves as a grief counselor for children and adults. Mrs. Stephens earned a Baccalaureate in Social Work from Rust college in Holly Springs, MS, and a Master’s of Social Work from Union University in Jackson, TN. Rachel is active in community organizations that encompass all fields of social work specific to advocating for children and families. She received intensive play therapy training at the Johns Hopkins University’s School of Education In Baltimore, MD, and has obtained her certification as a Registered play therapist with the Association For Play Therapy. Rachel is happily married to her husband, Davis, and recently had her beautiful baby boy, John Elijah
Sis, this conversation is so juicy and will be eye opening for many. It may make you realize some things about yourself, and may even make you grateful that you walked away from your previous relationship. Kick off those cute shoes and turn me up in those earbuds, Sis! This is a must listen episode that you won’t want to miss.
Remember, the gratitude journal challenge is going on now. Join me every Wednesday in the month of November as I share with you the things I’m grateful for, and I’ll guide you through the exercise  so you can participate as well. If you didn’t get your journal yet, go to my website www.kandiceabateast.com and order your beautiful lined journal with the promo code “JOURNAL15”  for 15% off the journal. And you can still get a copy of my book Goodbye Heartbreak, Hello Purpose: A 365 Day Devotional, with the promo code “PODCAST10” for your 10% discount.

051. Minisode: Get Renewed Strength

Hey Sis!
Can you believe we’re in November already? I certainly cannot! I’ll still be reading a devotion from the book on the podcast every Monday. In September I read from section 1 of the book, which was about dealing with the hurt. In October, I read from section 2, which was about growing closer to God. This month, I will be reading from section 3, which is about finding yourself.
This month, I’ll be reading devotions about getting back the things the enemy stole from you like your peace, joy, strength, and identity.
Today’s excerpt is about renewing your strength. The scripture reference is Isaiah 40:31 (AMP).
The journey of life is hard all on its own; but things like heartbreak come and make it even harder. These tough times are exhausting and can make us feel weak. Because of this, I’m so grateful to be connected to the source. When I plug into God, I can get recharged and get my strength renewed. I hope you find encouragement today! Listen up, Sis!

048. Minisode: God Is With You In The Fire

Hey Sis!
People are getting their books, and I’m getting great feedback about it! But don’t worry, I’m still showing up with more goodness from the book here on the podcast. I’m still reading excerpts every Monday in the month of October, and I will continue reading excerpts in November as well. 
Today’s excerpt talks about God being with us in our impossible situations. The scripture reference is Daniel 3:25 (NIV).
I know it seems unimaginable that you will get through this season and be better for it, but I want to encourage you today. Don’t be mad at God that He did not prevent this from happening to you. He gets glory from all things, and bringing you through, then out of this heartbreaking season will not only bless you but so many others. Sis, if you allow God to join you in your impossible situation, He will definitely deliver you. And not only will He deliver you, but you won’t look like what you’ve been through. I’m a living testimony of this! Take a listen, Sis!

045. Minisode: Quiet The Noise

Hey Sis!
The book is officially out into the world, and people have received their copies. But don’t worry, I’m still bringing you more goodness from the book here on the podcast. I’m still reading excerpts every Monday in the month of October.
Today’s excerpt talks about taking time to sit at the feet of Jesus to find whatever we need. The scripture reference is Luke 10:41-42 (AMP).
We get so busy with everything we have going on in our lives that we miss the truly important things. We sometimes waste time on distracting things that won’t benefit us; but sometimes, our activities or things we need to get done are truly important. However, we must prioritize so we can make time in our day to sit at the feet of Jesus. Although I feel like I’m in a Martha season of my life, I strive to be like Mary because I want the best–Jesus! Let’s listen together sis!
