Kindled Podcast | Truth and Grace, Boldly
Haley Williams
Kindled Podcast exists to speak truth and grace boldly to cultural, theological and political issues from a Biblical worldview. Speaking the truth in love with boldness, we will grow to become the mature body of Christ.
Love for God is kindled in our hearts as we are transformed by His power. May these conversations spur us on to love and good works so those near us and far would know that our Lord God is King. "They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony." Revelation 12:11

Having a “calling” is great, but how do you deal when that calling leads to a more full or “busy” life?

My Work Testimony: Hard Work Leads to Righteousness and Other Lies I've Believed | Ep. 6 | Moms & Work + Grace
Today I share a very personal story: Mine. It’s the story of a girl who believed work could lead to righteousness. It’s got sad parts, but it’s not a sad story, because God writes Himself into her story, again and again. From learning how to write at the age of 5, to having my second daughter just 20 months ago, this story is one near to my heart. I’m sharing my story not so you see more of me, but so you see more of Him.
