Leslie continues the Steadfast Heart series with a Biblical look at how our thoughts impact our emotional health. The enemy is continually baiting us to think about things that are not true. If we dwell on thoughts, mindsets and ideas that do not align with God’s Truth, then our emotions will quickly go in the wrong direction. We will be ruled by things like fear, pride, rebellion, and rejection, instead of keeping our soul anchored to Jesus Christ. In this episode, Leslie offers Biblical and practical principles for keeping our thoughts centered on God's Truth, which in turn will keep our emotions grounded in Christ.

Leslie continues her Steadfast Heart series with Part Four of what makes an emotionally healthy friend. Fair-weather friends are very common - those who will support us as things are easy and going well, but pull away when we are struggling or when a more exciting friend comes along. In this episode, Leslie unpacks the qualities of a truly faithful friend who will "love at all times" as it says in Proverbs 17:17.

Leslie continues the Steadfast Heart series with Part Three of Emotionally Healthy Friendships. In this episode, Leslie focuses on the importance of finding friends who will build us up in our faith and speak words that edify rather than corrupt. Proverbs tells us that “life and death are in the power of the tongue.” Leslie unpacks the difference between honorable conversation and corrupt conversation, and helps us discern truly godly friends from those who are undermining our relationship with Christ.
