spiritual birth

In this episode of Awakened Love, Angel is joined by Lindsey Meehleis: Spiritual Midwife. For the past 20 years, Lindsey Meehlies has worked in healthcare, helping women discover their own strength through psychedelic, transcendent experiences while they birth their babies in power at home. As well as serving in the shadows of death as a Midwife who helps people cross the rainbow bridge. She serves families from womb to tomb, like many medicine women have done throughout time, with a deep remembering that many of these witches were burned at the stake for their threat to the standard industrialized complex. 

Is the Medical Industrialized Complex still burning Midwives as Witches? A question answered in depth in this profound conversation.

They also deep dive into : 

• The Sacredness of Homebirth 
• The persecution of midwives during witch trials: “Were midwives the Original Witches?”
• Recognizing Fear vs Intuition when giving Birth
• How Sexual Trauma can Resurface during Labor

In this podcast, Pastor Justin teaches on the importance of being eager to birth what God is trying to do in and through you.

Are you discipling? Are you mentoring? Is God in the midst of birthing something “big” in your life?  Cory Pfeffer gives a teaching on discipleship and exhortation. There is always room for us to grow in the body of Christ. This episode will encourage you whether you are in a season of giving or receiving. This is a rich time  to carry what God has birthed in you to fruition and grow in spiritual maturity.

#002: A Spiritual Birth.

I sat down with Lizzy Criner from @thehealingshed to talk all things birth. In this Episode we are looking at birth from an emotional and spiritual point of view.

We are talking about what it’s like for a baby to be born, what happens to a woman when she becomes a mother and we are diving deep into the wisdom that our children are our greatest teachers. We are also looking at what we can learn from our own birth and how that can help and support us through life and so much more. 

There is so much knowledge and wisdom in this episode and I really hope that you find some pieces of advice that you can put in your little backpack of life and take with you on your journey. 

I hope you enjoy listening to this episode and please share it with a friend or anyone else who you think may benefit from this knowledge.  

May this episode brighten your day and bring some sunshine to your soul ☀️

Thank you for listening.
Sylvia.

Many people think that they are going to heaven by praying a prayer or they just don’t trust God completely. There are many people that make false professions of faith. This is the time to ask yourself a question; Are you truly born again? Each and every Christian needs to double check their salvation. So listen to Pastor Scheving as he preaches this message, “Have you Truly Believed?”

In John Chapter 3, we read the story of one man's personal interview with the Lord Jesus Christ. His name was Nicodemus, and we are told that he came to Jesus sometime in the night. And what a memorable night that was in the experience of this religious, yet empty man! A night he would always remember. A night that he came to realize that the Lord Jesus Christ was much more than a teacher - He was a Saviour - the Saviour he desperately needed if he were ever to be in heaven.
