Love Always Podcast

TV host, speaker, and author Brenda Crouch joins "Let's Talk Purity" today to discuss the increasingly concerning phenomenon of "global sadness," our culture's mental health struggles — and the solutions and truths we can find in the Gospel. "We have to really look into our history to be able to understand where we are and where we're going," Crouch said. "In this season, we're all experiencing so much external pressure. We're experiencing a shaking in the earth like never before."She continued, "It's the mercy of God that wants to shake us to awaken us. And we're in a place where we don't really know who we are."Listen to Crouch break these issues down, discuss the importance of healing our identities, and explore what truly matters.Follow Richard and Brittni on Social Media:- Love Always Ministries on Instagram- Brittni De La Mora​ on Instagram- Richard De La Mora on Instagram

Richard and Brittni are encouraging people to enter 2023 with a new mindset — one that is sure to set them up with success. "We want you to enlarge your vision," Brittni said. "Hebrews 11:6 says without faith it’s impossible to please God. ... We can hinder his miracles because of our lack of faith."So, the two encourage listeners to set big goals, enlarge their vision, and get a clearer sense of themselves heading into 2023."If you don’t see yourself correctly, it’s going to hinder what God wants to do in and through your lives," Richard said. "This year has to be the year that we see ourselves differently."Britti said it's essential to believe you are "exactly who God says you are," and that you're "worthy of the call He's placed upon your life." In the end, she said it's all about having a relationship with the Holy Spirit."You need to start to live your life largely," she said. "You should be going to work and operating with a spirit of excellence. You have a label on you, and that label is 'Christian.'"Follow Richard and Brittni on Social Media:- Love Always Ministries on Instagram- Brittni De La Mora​ on Instagram- Richard De La Mora on Instagram

Richard and Brittni speak to those struggling this past year — or those facing tough challenges. Even if things didn't go quite as planned in 2022, they want people to rest in the Lord."Maybe you've been surrounded by just darkness," Brittni said. "Or maybe you've lost some hope because your life doesn't look the way you thought it would look."She added, "The puzzle pieces of your life will come together."In this episode, the couple cite Romans 8:28 and appeal to the fact God works all things together for His good. Brittni reminded people of her own story of exiting the porn industry, finding Jesus, and now spreading the Gospel to a weary world."I was a porn star. I was a drug addict. I worked in the strip club," she said. "I was in prostitution. All kinds of mental illnesses ...[God] now uses me to bring other people victory as well."Listen to this powerful episode of "Let's Talk Purity."Follow Richard and Brittni on Social Media:- Love Always Ministries on Instagram- Brittni De La Mora​ on Instagram- Richard De La Mora on Instagram

The holidays can be a time of joy but also of pain and chaos. Richard and Brittni break down how difficult relationships and negative patterns can make navigating this time of year difficult. The two discuss "setting boundaries to avoid sin," avoiding temptation, and how to deal with relatives and others who have caused problems or offenses. "Oftentimes, when we go back to our families ... and you are still at odds with that particular person, it's very easy for you to walk in this holiday season, wanting to hold a grudge, holding on to offense," Richard said. "When we walk into that room, it shouldn't be about us. The Bible teaches us, 'Blessed are those who are peacemakers.'"The two discussed how Christians are "called to reconcile" and not to gold grudges, and Brittni differentiated between putting up boundaries versus creating walls. Beyond all that, though, she affirmed the need to be rooted in Christ."Too often, the reason people are so led by their emotions is because they're not spending time with the Spirit," she said. "A wise person overlooks an offense ... You have to be Spirit-fed so you won't be emotionally led."Listen to this powerful episode of "Let's Talk Purity."Follow Richard and Brittni on Social Media:- Love Always Ministries on Instagram- Brittni De La Mora​ on Instagram- Richard De La Mora on Instagram
