What Kind of Birthday Is Happy?
We all know what a birthday is. It is the celebration of the day you were born. This year, if I happened to eat cake which I gave up about 15 years ago, there would be 72 candles on my cake poised to burn the house down! However, I don’t eat cake any more. There was a...
The Boy Jesus and His Dad
I’ve thought a lot about this question: When did Jesus figure out who He is and who told Him? Was it a surprise when He found out He was the Son of Father God? When He was in Heaven He knew who He was, but when He came to earth he was a human baby. He came right out...

Episode 280-God Wants to Rebuild Us
God knows our hearts. He knows what we need. He speaks right to us whether it comes through me, you, or someone else. We need to always have an attentive ear to listen to Him. We need to learn to listen to Him.
This podcast contains words that God asked me to share with you. These are words directly from Him.
Episode 279-Fighting For or Against God?
There’s a recurring question that has been playing throughout my mind. Are we fighting for God or are we maybe unknowingly, or knowingly, fighting against Him? As Christians we better know that we are in a war. The problem is we likely really aren’t cognitively aware of the war until our attention is called to it.
Episode 278-Becoming a Living Sacrifice
Why does God want us to be living sacrifices? Is it the same thing as surrendering to God? What does it mean to be a living sacrifice? Why would God even want us to do that?
Being a living sacrifice means that as God’s children, we do what He says and go where He leads. This is paramount as a child of God, but its also really difficult.
About Me
I’m Teresa Shields Parker, Christian weight loss coach, author, podcaster and speaker. I’ve been writing since I was born or at least it feels that way. I do know I was born to write. However, it wasn’t until 2013 when I wrote my memoir, Sweet Grace: How I Lost 250 Pounds and Stopped Trying to Earn God’s Favor that I really felt I could legitimately don the moniker of author. It had been 60 years in the making.
