[@Forsuch.a.time.as.this.podcast]

I’m watching this and my podcast name is for such a time as this and i was praying during this episode if I should be still doing podcasting because this was so convicting and then that last words you said was “For such a time as this” and i believe God confirmed to continue my podcast. This is a testament. Thank you and Thank God.

[@HannahDeakins-p1e]

This was amazing. I needed to hear every word and I appreciate both of your honesty and vulnerability.Thank you for this! "it's not about making people happy , it's about setting people free...."

This was so timely for me ! ❤

[@PollyParr]

Yes!! God also has His plans for each person. It looks different for everyone. Sometimes he will develop people for years and others He will catapult into a place of a platform in an instant. It really is all up to Him. It's beyond our understanding, but for His good plan.

how to stop people-pleasing? you could always date me.. that's usually when women stop trying.

[@natashakozakmusic]

❤ don't give up

[@EstherJazmin]

Hey Maddie! I have trouble to see you because I see that you have like your lips done and you were beautiful like really incredibly beautiful already why did you have to? You claim to have such a strong identify on Jesus but going for something so world worldly so unnecessary, so plastic what you say about God it is true at least one thing that I heard that you said, that to know who you are you have to think who it's God. But it's not genuine from your heart, at least conflicting.

[@Noemizzzmayorga]

this is very encouraging and related to my current journey 💗💗🥹
