Show Notes

Jessica Cabrera hosts Faith Svendsen on the Faith Conversations Podcast to discuss her powerful story of trusting God through every season of life. From growing up with godly parents to becoming a military wife and navigating the challenges of motherhood, Faith’s journey is marked by deep prayer, scripture, and surrender. She opens up about the heartbreak of her father’s passing and how God met her with love and faithfulness. Through it all, Faith reminds us that when we are brokenhearted, the Lord is near, and His Spirit helps us in our weakness.

Biblical References:

Psalm 34:18 – The Lord is near to the brokenhearted.

John 14:26 – The Holy Spirit will teach you and remind you of everything.

Romans 8:26 – The Spirit helps us in our weakness.

Isaiah 61:3 – To give them a crown of beauty instead of ashes.

New to the Bible? Read the Gospel of John.

Do you want a relationship with God too?

If you have never made the choice to accept Jesus' offer – a gift, not by works – to be restored to the original design for your life, which is a relationship with God (on earth and in heaven after physical death), now is the time. There is an article in Jessica's Engage Faith Column that will help you understand who He is, who you are, what choice you have, and what happens when you make the decision. Visit https://www.jessicacabrera.org/column/what-is-the-message-of-the-gospel to read the message of God's good news for mankind and to find a sample prayer that you can pray today. 

The importance of a Biblical faith community:

All listeners are encouraged to engage in a local church community to learn more about Jesus, the Bible, and to experience God through community. Listeners from the Northern Virginia area are welcomed at Burke Community Church and anyone seeking an online church service can find one here. We are not designed to be alone; we’re designed for a community of faith.
