Faith Flicks Friday Pick! Divine Influencer
If you are looking for a good movie with a relatable theme, then listen to my review about the heartwarming and uplifting faith-based movie, "Divine Influencer," available on Pure Flix. The film centers around Olivia, a 29-year-old social media influencer who is pretty materialistic, who suddenly and unexpectedly finds herself at a crossroads in life after a series of unfortunate events that humbles her quickly!
Olivia's world takes a dramatic turn when she loses her job at a fashion designer's firm, and simultaneously, her philanthropic Christian parents cut off her financial lifeline, and she faces eviction from her apartment. It's a perfect storm of adversity that forces Olivia to reevaluate her life choices.
Olivia takes a job as a Resident Assistant (RA) at a Christian rescue shelter's dormitory for women. The mission is run by a familiar face from her high school days, adding an intriguing layer to the story. As Olivia navigates the challenges of her new role, she embarks on a soul-searching journey that leads her to rediscover her faith, embrace selflessness, and find a deeper purpose in life.

Together, we'll navigate the complexities of this choice and uncover the truths that will guide us on the right path. We'll delve into the deceptive allure of the course of sin and its potential consequences while highlighting the assurance we have as followers of Christ. Even when we stumble, we can find comfort in knowing that the Lord has a firm hold on us and will not let us fall.
Remember, your commitment to a course that leads to abundance and peace has the power to transform not only your own life but also the lives of those around you. So, let's dive in and embrace the course that brings us closer to God's love and blessings!

Faith Flicks Friday! My Pick…Pardoned by Grace

Wisdom Wednesday! A New Month & a New Theme! The Power of the Tongue
The Key Reflection Questions are:
1. Are your words giving life to the people around
you? Do you encourage, build up, and restore?
2. What reckless words do you find yourself saying, if any, and think about where those words are stemming from? Is there bitterness,
envy, anger, or sadness that you may need to tend to that is simmering?
3. Think about how you can intentionally bring healing into the lives of your family, friends, and people you don’t know well? Think about this in terms of interacting with strangers; how can you be a peacemaker instead of a peacebreaker?
4. Think about the verse, Can both fresh water and saltwater flow from the same spring? We know this can not happen, but do you find this
happening in your life? Are you praising God and cursing man?
Thank you for listening! Let's be peacemakers in a world of peacebreakers!
