MUST WATCH! The Forge Movie: Highlighting Faith, Redemption, and Discipleship with Believers

Many Christians across the country are raving about the film, “The Forge!” Directed by Alex Kendrick, the Christian film stars Aspen Kennedy, Priscilla Shirer, Cameron Arnett, and Karen Abercrombie and is a spinoff from the 2015 flick “War Room.”

Some weeks ago, I went to go see and review “The Forge,” which has resonated with audiences for its powerful narrative, deeply rooted in themes of faith, redemption, and the transformative power of God’s grace. It’s also a powerful message of the importance of discipleship in the lives of believers, especially new Christians who are figuring out their walks with God.

Christian Track: “Worthy”-Blanca

“Can’t even count the times, no, you came and rescued my soul…God, You’re able (oh, You’re able no). Your love stop me right in my tracks…”

On this happy Friday, I wanted to share a track from Christian singer Blanca! I first heard of her with another song “New Day” with singer Jekalyn Carr a few years ago. But I wanted to share her latest track, “Worthy” with y’all, especially if you’re looking for more music to add to your Christian playlist!

The whole song is simply about just how worthy God is to be praised, and I love the vibe!

B Intentional With Your Relationship with God

*A part of the B Series (centered around being intentional).

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me. – Revelation 3:20 (NIV)

In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to get caught up in the busyness of life and neglect the most important relationship we can ever have — our relationship with God. Like any relationship, our connection with God requires time, effort, and intentionality. 

If we believe that God has a plan for us all, then that means He INTENTIONALLY crafted a detailed plan for our lives. He also DESIRES relationship with us. So much so, that He sent His Son Jesus to die on the cross to save us from our sins. The least we can do is be a bit more intentional with truly cultivating our relationship with Him. Here’s how you can cultivate a deeper and more meaningful relationship with the Creator.

Intentionality for the Rest of 2024!

“Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” – 1 Corinthians 10:31

Consider this a journal entry of sorts as I spill about hitting goals with God.

“It seems like you’re being very intentional in some places, but not as intentional in others,” my personal trainer gently expressed in our weekly coaching call. She wasn’t judging my choices as I honestly reflected on my wins and losses of the week, but wanted to get to the why behind my choices and how I planned to improve. I was hitting strides in my workouts, but clearly wasn’t doing as well with nutrition. It’s a pattern for me. I’m great at working out. The FOOD is why I still haven’t reached my goals. And that’s 80% of the battle in weight loss.

I realized after my call that, as far as I’ve come in my life, I still have big changes to make. Not just with my nutrition, but with other areas that I desire growth in — my career, finances, home, and also Imperfectly B. Especially Imperfectly B.

It’s more than mysterious willpower or incredible discipline that will come out of thin air just because you “will it so.” There’s not even a planner alive that going to help if you don’t commit to hitting smaller action items that will help you get to the bigger goal. And it’s going to take some intentional changes over the course of the last four months of 2024.

Bible Verses for New Christians

It can be tough sometimes to navigate life as Christian, especially as a new believer with no background in the faith just trying to figure things out. New Christians are often confused about where to start and how to grow in their relationships with God.

While I am not a new Christian, I know all too well the importance of seeking God’s truths in the Bible for instruction and encouragement. My plan is to write more resources in the future, particularly for those new to the faith. For now, I wanted to share some important verses to remind new Christians about the love of God and who He calls us to be as believers.
