Communicating Beautifully to Bless Your Relationships: Interview with Carolyn Santos

How to Speak Life to Our Relationships


Using our words is easy, especially when our only intention is merely to provide an outlet for our feelings.

But communicating and speaking life is hard. It involves intentionally going out of our way to understand someone and to feel their emotions. Is this even possible when we’re all made differently and we have different communication styles?

By our own efforts, it’s not possible. By the grace of God, it is very possible.

Whenever we approach our relationships, we need to approach it differently from the way we’re used to.

Our usual way of approaching conversations, even those with the people we hold dear, is always to be heard. We need to make them understand where we’re coming from. We need to make them listen to us. It’s all about us!

However, the Word of God says that we need to renew our minds so that we don’t act sinfully and selfishly. A renewed mind communicates with different intentions: to understand and to speak life to others.

As we go about our day, let us go out of our way to learn and to practice how we can encourage others and build them up. Let us approach our conversations, even the difficult ones, with the intention of understanding the other person and restoring our relationships. Let us also open our hearts humbly for correction, so we can become better versions of ourselves.

Our words have power. They can either tear us down or build us up. I hope we always choose the latter. I hope we always choose to communicate life to others. I hope we always choose to follow God’s example of communicating life and restoration to each of us.

“Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.” —Ephesians 4:29

Partnering with God to Fulfill His Will for You: Interview with Ashley Nemeh

Knowing the Source of Your Strength

“God, there is no way I can do this in front of people. There is no way! But you know what, Lord? I’m just going to do this.” —Ashley Nemeh

There is something so beautiful about surrender.

Humility is a leadership skill that we overlook so often. We admire people who are confident, who appear like they’ve got their lives and choices figured out.

Yet we overlook those who kneel down in prayer, arms raised to God, begging Him for strength to go one.

Surrender is a sign of humility. It is admitting to ourselves that we can’t do it on our own and humbly coming to God to tap into His strength as we do the work He has set for us to do.

God’s work for us is never easy. It is often scary, intimidating, and it requires us to step out of our comfort zones. When doing His work, God asks us to surrender and trust that He will provide us with the power to overcome and to excel.

But how? How do we tap into His never-failing and never-ending strength?

In critical moments when you’re feeling helpless and despair, pray. 

Come to God in thanksgiving, knowing He will always come through for you. Present your request to Him and humbly tell Him you cannot do this task on your own.

Then breathe in and breathe out. Quiet your fears and listen to God’s voice. Rest assured that the Holy Spirit will work in you and through you in ways that you’ve never seen Him work before. 

Partnering with God requires 100% surrender because He carries 100% of the load. 

God will always fulfill the promise He gave you. He will do His will because He is faithful. You will only need to surrender and trust that He loves you.

“But, as it is written, ‘What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him’” —1 Corinthians 2:9

Healing is Believing: Interview with Andrea Vecchio

Part One Audio

Part Two Audio

How We Can Actively Move in Faith as We Go through Challenging Life Seasons

It is inevitable that, in life, we will go through seasons of pain and suffering. Jesus said it Himself that we will face troubles (John 16:33), but He has also promised us that we will overcome them through Him. 

But how do we move forward from these troubling times? How do we continue fighting and walking?

The road to healing may be long and bumpy, but it is a worthwhile journey to take. 

These are some of the things I learned from my conversation with Andrea Vecchio and from my own journey, too. 

  1. Surround yourself with people who will build you up.

“Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.” —Proverbs 27:17

When you’re healing, you will likely tell yourself a lot of discouragements. It is normal because you’re hurting and all you can see are your mistakes and incapabilities.

This is where the encouragement from people comes in, to remind you that there is hope and that you can get through this better and stronger.


2. Go back to your foundation.

“You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you…” —John 15:16

Who made you? Who was there from the very beginning

Remind yourself that God has a plan and a purpose for everything that you are going through, even if these things are hard to see at the moment.

You need to go back to all the tough times you went through before and how God has carried you. Surely, He will do the same in this season of your life. He is faithful and unchanging

3. Share your life and inspire others.

“You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.” —John 15:16

We have heard this time and again: the best way to heal is by healing others.

Your life may be in chaos but God always uses the broken to heal others. Allow God to use your story as a testimony to bring others healing and encouragement. 

Our pain only makes sense when we surrender this to God and allow Him to transform the ashes into something beautiful.

"How Can I Increase My Faith?" - Teaching from Jeffrey Paul

2020 has not been an easy year for almost everyone. And when your faith is being tested, how do you rise from the challenge? How do you not falter on your belief?

The Power of the Try | Interview with Pastor Jim Wilkes

How often do you feel hindered or stuck, waiting on God to reveal what He is trying to show you? Take a deep breath and know that all God wants you to do, is to first “TRY” to hear His Voice and make the pathway clear so He can speak to you! 

This week, we learn the important concept of “The Power of the Try”  from one of my dear friends, and the pastor of Journey Church - Pastor Jim Wilkes. 

“We feel like we have to do it perfect - but all God is looking for is for us to “try”. As Pastor Jim says, you will be amazed if you position your heart today, and say,  “God, I want to hear your Voice today. I am going to be attentive to hear the Holy Spirit”. 

As you listen to this interview you will learn about Pastor Jim's journey from the business and ministry worlds. Pastor Jim has lived a life in the foundation of God’s Word, but also has constantly lived and stepped out in total faith. He also shares about a massive career shift after the death of a family member that led him to lead a company in New Orleans assisting with rebuilding after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina... Something he knew NOTHING about, but was successful at because he obediently obeyed the Lord after listening to His voice!

Listen in as Jim and I discuss: 

  • How to be intentional when talking to God and hearing His Voice

  • How God speaks uniquely to YOU in ways you can understand and in the degree that you allow him

  • How God’s Voice, guidance and wisdom will lead you through things that are opposite of what your natural mind wants to do.

  • The small nudges from the Holy Spirit to step out in faith when things didn’t even logically make sense at that time.

  • One of the most important concepts… God’s Peace is a confirmation of the Word of God!

God Is Speaking, Can You Hear Him? | Interview with Dr. Clem Ferris

Ever hear a thought or word from God and wonder if it is really Him? If you’re someone who answered ‘YES’ to this question, then this interview is for you!

In my interview with Dr. Clem Ferris, a pastor, a speaker, and author of; Stewarding Prophecy - Waging Warfare with God's Word, he shares, when it comes to hearing a Word from God, whether through reading the written Word or hearing a Word spoken through the voice within you, it is always designed for action. That is why it is vital to not only hear a Word from God, but learn to “keep it” during the process of fulfillment. This is the idea behind stewarding prophecy.

We discuss how to hear God better, you really have to know who God is and grow a relationship with Him – this is one of the MOST IMPORTANT takeaways from the eye-opening interview

Clem lays out for us some practical guidelines to advance you in your spiritual journey and how to wage spiritual warfare in the ongoing battle of words to become Christlike.. (1 Tim. 1:18,19.)

In this insightful interview, Clem and I discuss:

  • When we get a Word from God it is designed to Transform us

  • Learning about how God takes us through “Seasons” and has a plan for EACH of them

  • What Prophecy is

  • The difference between the Old & New Testament Prophets

  • How to truly Hear God’s Voice and translate it for your life

Finding Confidence Through God and Music: Ashley’s Story

From the age of seven, Ashley Nemeh knew she wanted to be a performer. She grew up singing in church, and used performing as a way to build her confidence. Teased as a child, Ashley found solace in music. Her father was a source of inspiration to her, and his guidance helped her overcome her stage fright.

“Just look at the crowd,” he would tell her. “Just pretend this is a normal way of being. You have to keep going and not allow anything to make you nervous — you have to keep going and do what you’re best at.”

One day in school, Ashley’s teacher gave her the opportunity to use her skills in confidence. Despite being a happy student, Ashley didn’t have much confidence when speaking in school. And when her teacher brought out her guitar and told the class they would be auditioning to sing a duet for reconciliation at church, it wasn’t the 1200 expected attendees Ashley feared most — it was her classmates!

But Ashley decided to go for it, and it was worth it. The duet turned into a solo, and it was all Ashley’s. As soon as she began to sing, her classmates were in awe. She became “the girl who could sing.” She went from being bullied to being admired, and overcame the intimidation and bullying.

Singing continued to help Ashley build confidence and grow in her faith. When enduring tough times, Ashley would remind herself that Jesus is her best friend, and she’s not alone. 

Fast forward from being seven years old to the red carpet in Nashville: Ashley’s confidence was once again in question. So she turned to her faith; she remembered her father telling her that fear is not from God, it’s up to you to get through the hurdles and find bliss. 

Ashley finds herself constantly looking to God for strength. One important takeaway is that regardless of being a celebrity, a young person in high school, or a new mother, hard times affect us all. No matter who you are or what challenge you face, you can do anything you put your mind to. Even if you’re having a hard day, not feeling well or had the worst thing in the world happens to you, it’s up to you to pick yourself up and trust that God will get you through it. 

Ashley’s advice is to keep going and keep focusing, and you will tap into a source that is greater than your sword. You’re able to become one with God and that’s when the most amazing things will happen.

And just like her songs aren’t sung perfectly the first time she sings them, Ashley recognizes it takes practice and ongoing effort put forth in every other aspect of her life, too.

When you put things on autopilot, it won’t work the same way as when you put forth real effort. Neither life nor God work that way. God wants you to show Him love and affection, and he will give it back to you. Whatever you put out into the world, you will receive in return. 

Everybody has their days, but at the end of the day you can’t allow depression, anxiety, fear, hatefulness or jealousy get to you. At the end of the day, when you go through hard times, remember those who love you: your family, friends and God.

Whenever Ashley faces an obstacle, she prays for God to help her through it and through her partnership with God, she is able to again and again take action and overcome hardships. Any partnership is not 50-50; it’s 100-100 or it will never work.  

As for Ashley’s favorite event she’s performed at, the most fulfilling to her is at church. Feeling God through each church performance, it is then that the realizes she’s been called to perform. Ashley encourages others to look within themselves and find that voice. Find that source of strength which is God within you to help you be the best version of you possible in mind, body, soul and spirit. And remember, beauty begins within.
