A Faithful God Podcast with Timberley Gray

He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much.

Luke 16:10 NKJV

Timberley and her husband Andre’ own Living Our Priorities where they teach others how to live within the Priorities of God.

In today’s episode, Timberley speaks candidly about a time in her marriage when she and Andre’ struggled and how they found a Christian couple to walk alongside and mentor them.

They quickly learned that though they said God was #1 in their life, they weren’t living that way.

Timberley goes on to share how they lost everything when the market crashed and had to file bankruptcy. She shares how difficult it was raising two kids at a time when on any given day, they had no idea what they’d have for dinner.

Timberley’s love for God is so inspiring and I love how she and her husband have learned to trust God, even when they didn’t understand how they got to the point of bankruptcy.

She shares how they learned to manage their money in a way that was pleasing to God and how He has always provided not just everything they need, but enough to bless others and also enjoy the fruits of their labor. 

You’re going to love my conversation with Timberley today, so grab your favorite beverage and join me for this incredible episode!

Abby shares with us her journey through grief when one night in 2006, her family was killed by a drunk driver. She tells us how she came upon the accident and when she heard there were no survivors, she thought that meant her as well.

She shares how she navigated life after this devastating tragedy and how God wooed her back to Him.

How to Pray for Someone You Love (When You Feel Helpless)

We’ve all said it at one time or another. “All I can do is pray.”

Maybe someone you love is facing a difficult diagnosis. Your adult child is going through something you can’t fix, or a close friend is struggling, and no matter how much you want to help, there’s nothing you can do to make things better.

You’ve offered advice, tried to help, and done everything you know to do.

And when you’ve finally run out of options, you find yourself saying those six little words — All I can do is pray.

But have you ever stopped to think about what we’re really saying when we use those words?

Because somewhere along the way, many of us started treating prayer like the thing we turn to when everything else has failed.

We know God hears our prayers and we believe He has the power to change things. But when someone we love is hurting, it’s hard to feel like we’re helping when we can’t actually do anything to change their circumstances.

And that’s where we need to look at intercessory prayer, and how to pray for someone you love, a little differently.

Why Do I Keep Starting Over With God?

Have you ever found yourself saying, “I’ll start again with God next week.”

Maybe you used to start your mornings with prayer, but lately your Bible has stayed closed and you feel like you’re constantly trying to catch up with God.

Maybe life has started demanding more than usual.

The kids need to be picked up, dinner still needs to be made and the laundry pile is growing faster than you can fold it. And by the time you finally sit down at the end of the day, you’re too exhausted to even say a prayer.

At first, you tell yourself you’ll get back to it tomorrow — but tomorrow comes and goes. Then a few more days pass. Before long, missing one day turns into three, then three days turn into a week.

And that’s when the guilt starts creeping in. Before you know it, you’re thinking to yourself, “I’ve failed again.”

Or maybe it’s been longer than a week. Maybe it’s been months — even years — since you really felt close to God, and you’re wondering if starting over is even possible at this point.

Either way, the question underneath is the same. Why do I keep ending up here?
