I think there's a common misconception about Christianity and what having a relationship with God is like today. We think it's about living a certain lifestyle or abiding by a set of a rules. It's something that a lot of us don't feel adds any value to our lives, or it feels restrictive and like we're signing up for a life that we no longer have any say or control over. My goal is to give you a different perspective on Christianity. As I get super vulnerable and delve into my own experience with Christianity, it is my hope that you feel seen, heard, and loved right where you're at every week.

Above All, Seek Truth
Long time, no see. Let’s not let this ever happen again. No matter where you’re at in your spiritual/religious walk and journey, I wanted to have an open discussion about seeking truth, which is something that feels so lost on our society today, but it’s far too important to let go.
I hope that this episode is able to provide you with a different perspective and inspires you to have more open and honest conversations with those around you. I hope that you felt seen, heard, and loved.

What Does it Mean to be a Christian?
Hey you! Thank you so very much for taking the time to listen to another podcast episode. This topic was such a driving force behind the creation of this podcast.
I feel as if there is a very common misconception around what it means to be a Christian. I’ve heard a lot of my friends, family, acquaintances, and even strangers say that they feel as if Christianity is a set of rules they have to abide by or a certain lifestyle that they have to live. Some even go as far as to say that they feel as if Christianity isn’t important and that it wouldn’t add any value to their lives. I am hoping to be a different voice in this space and give you a different perspective on what it means to be a Christian and the value found in who Jesus is.
In this episode, I talk about what I have personally come to understand it means to be a Christian in reading my Bible, the church hurt that I have experienced, the fact that I unintentionally created an idol of who I thought God was, and more.
I hope that this episode left you feeling seen, heard, and loved. I pray that God was able to speak to you and reach you through me.
If you wouldn’t mind, please rate the podcast! My mission is to reach as many people as possible providing them a space in which they feel seen, heard, and loved and able to either explore Christianity and have a relationship with Jesus, grow in their faith, or ask the tough questions as they may wrestle with their disbelief.
If you feel this podcast could help someone, please share!
If I can be praying for you, please send me a DM either on my personal instagram (https://www.instagram.com/casandra_martinson) or our podcast instagram (https://www.instagram.com/agoodworkpodcast).

My Story to God
Hey you! Welcome to A Good Work!! I cannot put into words how equally scared and excited I am to be doing this. Eek! I'm diving head first into this and am hoping that you'll leave today's episode feeling seen, heard, and loved.
Today, I wanted to let you into my life a little bit, my past, and even where I hope the future goes. I wanted to talk about my own person story to God and what that has looked like. I didn't grow up in a Christian household per se. I didn't say the sinner's pray. I didn't have a pretty, beautiful, cookie cutter story to God. My story stems from a a lot of pain, feeling like I wasn't enough, and losing something that I never thought I could be without amongst so many other things. My story involves coming to the end of myself and knowing that I needed someone to save me.
To be honest, I talk about some things in this podcast that not even my closest friends or family know about. You're getting it first. I am dedicated to being 100 percent honest, trusting God with my yes and praying that He reaches you through my vulnerability and insane discomfort, ha.
If you liked the episode, please subscribe and rate the podcast! I want to welcome as many people as possible into a safe community in which they also feel seen, heard, and loved, and not just by us, but by God too.
If you need pray, please reach out to me.
I see DM requests on my personal instagram. (https://www.instagram.com/casandra_martinson)
And I check DM requests often on the podcast Instagram. (https://www.instagram.com/agoodworkpodcast)
Don't forget that you can go to God just as you are, and I encourage you to do so. There's nothing you can do to make God love you any more or any less than He does right now. He sees you. He hears you. And He loves you.
I cannot wait to see and hear of the personal stories in which God begins a good work in each of you.
I love you so much. Thank you for allowing me a space to be SO real, SO vulnerable, and SO honest. It means the entire world to me and more.
Until next week.

Intro
Hi there! Welcome to A Good Work. I am your host, Casandra Martinson. I want to give you a brief overview of what my mission is behind this podcast. I think that there is such a common misconception of what Christianity is and what having a relationship with God is like. I want to give you a different perspective than you may have ever seen in regards to Christianity and a personal relationship with God.
As you'll hear in this episode, you are going to get nothing but vulnerability from me every week. Just as I'm showing up to this podcast exactly as I am, I hope that you feel comfortable enough to do the same. And I hope that you leave every episode feeling heard, seen, and loved.
Thank you so much for listening and for giving me some of your very valuable time.
"And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ."
-Phillippians 1:6
