She shares her story and shares scripture about Giving Glory to God in our day, work and lives. She also talks about God winks, or God nudges and God appointments and how we often miss them because we are so busy and rushing. We also can miss God winks because we aren't open to seeing them or willing to notice who is beside us, what message is right in front of us or whatsomeone speaks into us.This is an encouraging message about Giving the Glory to God and why we should pay more attention to the people, things and words all around us. God still performs miracles and still gives signs but often we miss them because they can be whispers, or subtle signals.#christianliving #scripture #christianinspiration #liveinfaith #godwinks #walkbyfaith #GiveGlorytoGod #Jesus

On today's Spark of Faith episode Kristin talks about the state of the world- the constant fear that is being spun, the censorship, and rights being threatened, parental rights being challenged, possible military conflict with other countries, masks, mandates and even religious freedoms and free speech and viewpoints are being threatened. During such hard, dark days it's sometimes hard to know what we can do- well God tells us we can pray- we can turn away from sin and we can ask him to heal our lands- well that is one thing we can do- we can ask God to fight for us- to fight for our families and our land and our rights- he is bigger than anything we are walking through right now but we have to turn towards him to fight for us. We should stand up but we must also take to our knees and pray for him to fight these battles for us.Kristin also shares ideas from Pastor Mark Batterson about how we prayer is how we get God to fight for us.#prayer #christianliving #bibleverse #christianinspiration #faithtalk #ministryoffaith #encouragement #christian

On today's episode Kristin talks about the Ministry of You or another way to put that is the ministry of your life. She wants to remind each of us that how you choose to show up and encourage others, how you choose to share love and hope, how you choose to be a example of Christ in the world and how we choose to build a legacy and impact in the world with our words, our money and message matters and we don't have to be a pastor, or in a formal ministry or even call it a ministry or some other churchy word but our life is a ministry- the question becomes as we grow in our faith journey are we an outreach for Jesus' ministry or are we building a ministry for something else?Faith- Christian living- Encouragement- Christian Podcast- Scripture- Bible VerseLearn more at https://kristinfitch.com/spark-of-faith
