   EP 7. Do You Have Unhealed Trauma in Your Life?

   “Trauma is anything that changes for the worse. The way that you see yourself, the way that you see other people, the way that you see the world or the way you see God.” -Dr. Anita Phillips God can use us however He wants but I’ve learned over the years that I can be useful to the body or I can really grab hold of deeper things in the Lord and allow Him to touch EVERY area of my life (not just some parts) so that I can be the MOST useful to my family, my friends and the body around me. That God-awareness and being able to recognize things in our lives are important and valuable in the kingdom of God. If you need help with unprocessed pain, reach out to someone in your local church or seek a professional counselor. My friend Vanessa Cruz is a licensed therapist. She has a waitlist you can join or search for her other therapist. www.theremedycounseling.com (http://www.theremedycounseling.com/) Scripture reference: John 10:10 Other helpful verses Hebrews 4:12

We are far too easily pleased.” -CS Lewis

Listen in on today's episode as I dive into what these two things really are and why we need them both. Scripture reference: James 1:19 Galatians 6:2

    EP 2. "Tear The Roof Off" Kinda Friends

    I got questions ya'll! This is a short one - a little espresso shot for ya! Lots of questions, but mostly, grateful for how the heart of Jesus is willing and moved in more than one way. Not only that but to see how He is moved by the faith of the people around us is pretty compelling. Take a listen and chew on this word. Verses are from Matthew 9:1-8

    JTWR | Journey Together With Ritz Trailer

    Hey Everyone!! Welcome to my brand new podcast, “Journey Together With Ritz” - Yaaaaay! For those of you that don’t know me, my name is Maritza Eru and I am super pumped to be starting this up for so many reasons. I started this podcast to create some space where I can share both the good and not so good things I have learned in my life. Why Journey Together? Because we were created to do LIFE TOGETHER. As a storyteller, wife, boy-mom, disciple-maker, and all things Jesus, I want to invite you on the journey with me to talk about perhaps some not so popular topics. You will find on this podcast: empowerment, tools for your day, biblical encouragement, topics on relationships, healing, marriage, parenting, starting over, waiting on God's best and so! much! more! Lots of laughs and some "confession sessions" like my girl says, to keep us all in check, and of course, don’t forget the coffee, cafecito, café con leche or some strong tea - you're gonna need it! I hear the term "real, raw, relevant" used a lot, and I definitely want us to be real, raw, and relevant, but not without actually applying what we learn to our everyday lives. I hope I can connect with your hearts out there. I don't wanna be just another voice in your life, as I am sure you have plenty, however, I do want God's voice to be #1 in your life. Do you feel me? Are you ready?! I've invited people I love to join me from time to time, so please make sure you subscribe because you do not want to miss the incredible nuggets they're gonna share from their life and teach us what they've learned. The podcast launches on August 1st. So again, subscribe to the JTWR podcast on Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, Spotify, or your favorite streaming platform.
