👋🏾 Welcome from Renee

Hello, my sister,

Welcome back to Empowered Faith Media, where we share the perfect Word of Christ in an imperfect world. I’m so thankful you’re here.

This week, we’re exploring how to live our faith out loud, every day, not just on Sunday. We’ll talk about reflecting Jesus well, fueling your body with something wholesome, and tackling that spring clutter one drawer at a time.

Let’s grow together, inside and out. 💛

✝️ Mini Blog: Are You Giving Jesus a Bad Reputation?

Sis, this one might sting a little, but I promise it’s full of grace. I once joked, “The Lord is going to visit me today,” after using very colorful language to describe someone at work. I laughed. The Holy Spirit didn’t.

Sometimes, we unintentionally misrepresent Jesus through our speech, actions, or even how we present ourselves. But there’s good news, there’s grace and room to grow.

Here are four ways to reflect Christ well in your everyday life:

1. Guard Your Words – Let kindness season your speech. (Colossians 4:6)
   
2. Check Your Conduct – Let your light shine in dark places. (Matthew 5:16)
   
3. Lead with Love, Not Judgment – Love should be your loudest language. (John 13:35)
   
4. Reflect Christ in Your Appearance – Modesty is powerful. (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)
   

Your life might be the only Bible someone reads today. Let’s be sure it tells the truth about His love. 💖

📖 Scripture of the Week

“Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” – Matthew 5:16 (NIV)

✍🏾 Journal Prompt

What area of your life, words, actions, love, or appearance, needs more Jesus this week?
Write about how you’ll honor God more intentionally in that area.

🧘🏾‍♀️ Meditation

Take a quiet moment to breathe in deeply and say:
“Lord, let my life reflect Your love. Help me to speak, act, and show up in ways that honor You.”
Breathe out slowly and release anything that feels unlike Christ.

🌷 Spring Organizing Tip

Start with just one drawer this week. Set a timer for 10 minutes, toss what you don’t need, and make room for peace. God is not the author of clutter; He’s the author of order. 🧺✨
