You Matter 2 God!
Ever wonder, "Do I matter?" "Does my life REALLY have value?" "Do I have a purpose?" "Is God really a part of and involved with my life?" "Can I trust God?"
Of course the answer is "YES!!"
Hi! I'm Melanie, and I've known the Lord my whole life as a PK (preacher's kid), but I got to a point where I wanted to "know that I know that I know" God because I needed answers to the many questions that I had for God as well as an understanding of the isolation and loneliness I would feel when I didn't have the answers I needed in order to feel understood, valued, and that I mattered!
Join me as I encourage you with stories, truths, and people of the Bible to help God's word be relevant and applicable to your everyday life.
Plus, I'll introduce you to some pretty cool and fascinating guests who share their faith journey of discovering just how much they matter to God so you will be encouraged on yours!
So, if you know the Lord, and are ready to...:
✨ Be encouraged that God is there cuz life is lifin'.
✨Be encouraged to trust God even when you can't see God's hand working in your life
✨Hear from other people who may have gone through what you're going through
✨Know that you truly have power in Christ
✨Grow in your faith
This podcast is for you!
Let's grow and learn together, friend, and make tomorrow better than today and more amazing than yesterday! 🤩
You Matter 2 God!
