Welcome to Fruit Takes Time. I'm so happy you're here. Jesus has changed my life, and I want to share all the things He has done for me and can do for you, too. Whether you're a new or seasoned believer, you can gain something from listening to this podcast. Thankfully, we can't grow beyond the gospel, only deeper in it. I'll be sharing my testimony, what God has and is doing in my life, and also breaking down the bible so you can understand it more. Get ready to laugh and cry because we're gonna do both here. Jesus changes EVERYTHING!
FTT was born from Matthew 28:19-20. Let's yap baby!!!
Body image and trying to navigate how to post online can be a challenge. I hope this calls you up, and not out. In the spirit of being honest, it was something I needed to hear years ago.

Old law. New law. The blood.
This episode will help you understand the old law, the new law, and the significance of Jesus' blood. As always, I recommend reading specific books to deepen your understanding. I wish I had this information presented to me clearly from the start, as it would have helped me grasp these concepts more easily. I hope this episode provides that clarity for you.
Happy listening!

Sex before marriage and re-waiting
LETS TALK ABOUT SEX BABY!!!!
So sorry if this topic makes you uncomfortable, but it needs to be discussed with biblical truth to back it up. Re-waiting to have sex when you're married is God honoring and something that is not talked about enough. You're not too far gone, you can STOP. Dating God's way is cool regardless of your age. Don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise.
Read this book if you want to know how to date God’s way, it changed the dating game for me. Here's the link!

How to Forgive
This episode is probably the most vulnerable one I've recorded so far. Sorry for the alligator tears; this topic is truly what set me free from living the life I used to live. It changed me in so many ways and continues to do so. Here is the exercise below that you write out, which I mentioned in the episode.
In obedience to your word I CHOOSE to forgive ___________ for everything he/she has ever done to hurt me.

Navigating Singleness
Dating is not in the bible. I repeat that and mention it often in this episode because I wanted you to understand that dating WAS NOT IN THE BIBLE. We take a bit of a deep dive into my dating life and what that has looked like previously in the hopes it will help you navigate your singleness. Single seasons don't exist for some people, and we have to be okay with that.
I forgot to mention in this episode the books that I read years ago that changed the way I date and how I walk through dating now that I am no longer a slave to singleness. Happy Listening!

Noah, The Ark, and The Flood
We can learn a few things from Noah and his obedience to the Lord. I always recommend reading these stories for yourself in scripture. As you dive deeper into the word, you can find these details in Genesis chapters 6 and 7. Happy listening!

Who Is Jesus?
After listening to this episode, you will have a deeper understanding of who Jesus was and is. God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit (our helper) are all three separate but all three one.
This is the foundation we need to start with, and then we can build from here. Without having an understanding of Jesus and who He is, things can become very confusing and misunderstood. Jesus, the Son of God, lived a perfect life and was born of a virgin (Mary). He died on the cross for our sins because without His death, we would never be able to live in communion with the Father. Jesus is our middleman. He was dead for three days, dead dead… not sleeping, not unconscious, dead.
Then, by the power of the Holy Spirit, he rose again three days later, living like you and I are right now, and then went to be in Heaven, where he is seated at the right hand of the Father. So, when you accept Him as the Lord of your life, the same spirit that raised Him from the grave dwells within you and me (HOW AMAZING IS THAT)
Corinthians 15:3-4
This verse is the foundational truth of Jesus' sacrificial death for our sin and His victorious resurrection on the third day.
My mentor has read these books that prove the bible to be true, and I wanted to suggest them to you as well. Happy listening!

My Testimony
A quick overview of my testimony and how I got to the place I am currently in my walk with the Lord. Friendship breakups, seeking validation from worldly men, and not fully understanding what a true daily relationship with Jesus looked like put me in the place I am now. I am who I am because of it all, and I'm extremely thankful for the forgiveness and growth the Lord has so graciously given me during these seasons of growth. We all have a story and testimony. I hope this will encourage you to share your story with someone!
