In this latest episode of the Found in Christ podcast, our host, Ashira sits down to speak about the prayer and its importance in our lives. She speaks about how prayer is part of spiritual warfare and angels are released on our behalf when we pray. She also uncovers the tactics used by the enemy to stop or discourage us from praying especially when we are so close to our breakthrough. We pray that by the end of the episode, you will have a sense of urgency to pray and seek God even deeper. Come to Jesus, and ask Him for a fresh desire and fire to pray. Today is the best time to start praying again and partner with God for your breakthrough, healing and miracle!"Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." Mark 11 : 23-24 (NIV)

Welcome to the first episode of Season 2 of the Found in Christ podcast! In our brand new (and extremely simple) set, Ashira talks about her own journey dealing with hurt within the church with leadership, struggling with a sense of injustice and the need for revenge, and the Lord setting her free from all the offences. She speaks about how the offence got in the way of her relationship with the Lord and how an encounter with God healed her heart. We pray that this episode encourages you to release all offences and unforgiveness, and all Jesus to come in and heal your heart. If you feel like there's a wall between you and God, it could be because of the offence. It's definitely not an easy journey but with healing and forgiveness from God, we can overcome this. Surrender to the Lord and trust Him to redeem your story. “I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten— the great locust and the young locust, the other locusts and the locust swarm— my great army that I sent among you. You will have plenty to eat, until you are full, and you will praise the name of the LORD your God, who has worked wonders for you; never again will my people be shamed..." Joel 2 : 25-27 (NIV)

In this latest episode of the Found in Christ podcast, Ashira sits down with Brandon Ho from Let's Get Real who is a great influence and voice for the younger generation across Malaysia. He speaks about his story of growing up in poverty, the hardships he had to endure, and his encounter with the living God. He has gone through many tests of faith but has learnt that God was with him the whole time, and never left nor forsaken him. He also unpacks the importance of stewarding our finances well and how to honour God through our tithing. We understand that being in a situation where money is scarce is very very difficult and if you are in a similar situation, we are very sorry to hear that. We pray this encourages you and fills your with hope to trust in our Living God who can come through for your situation. "Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us." Romans 5 : 2-5

In this latest episode of Found in Christ, Ashira sits down with Shanice to speak about God's redemption story of marriage over her life. Shanice has gone through many struggles before knowing the love of Jesus, that has made her give up on love.

It was only because of the deep, indescribable love of Jesus that her life has been restored, and she is now happily married to her incredible husband, Eric who also loves and serves the Lord.

This testimony is for you broken-hearted people out there, who is waiting on God or who has given up on any hope of getting married because of pain that's been caused in your life. We believe that God can still turn it around, and restore the desire for marriage in your life if it's according to His will. Trust God to write your love story! He can write such a beautiful one, that you cannot even fathom. "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us..." Ephesians 3 : 20 (NIV)

Hello and welcome to the latest episode of Found in Christ where we have Eric from Worshipper join us. He unpacks his testimony of coming back to Christ after being a prodigal, and using God's gifting of entrepreneurship for a Christian Streetwear brand. Eric has tasted the riches of the world, and it did not satisfy. He knew that only Jesus could truly satisfy, so he took the step of faith to give up running a bar to spread the gospel through clothing. Whether your calling is in the marketplace, ministry, media or any other area, we believe that God can use you greatly, to reach others for His Kingdom's purpose. If you are feeling lost, and lack a sense of purpose, don't worry, the Lord's got you. Come back to Jesus, rededicate your life, and start this life of adventure with the Lord! "For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." Jeremiah 29 : 11 (NIV)

Welcome to Part 2 of the childhood brokenness series where Ashira sits down with Gabriel, and uncovers strategies to overcome childhood brokenness. The enemy wants to keep you in that trauma, and wants to either use that trauma to prevent you from wanting a Godly marriage and children, or for you to pass that trauma on to your children. But God has better plans!God wants to heal and restore you completely. God loves you more than you can imagine. Your healing can begin today through Jesus, and you can be the curse breaker in your family. You don't have to allow generational patterns of trauma to go on any longer. Healing may not necessarily happen over night, but we invite you to begin the process today. "The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace." Numbers 6 : 24-26 (NIV)

In the latest episode of the Found in Christ podcast, Ashira takes on the role of a guest as Gabriel interviews her. Ashira opens up about childhood trauma such as abandonment issues, father issues, and finding healing in Jesus. If you have gone through similar experiences growing up, our heart goes out to you. Know that healing can begin today through Jesus, and know that you don't have to hold on to that trauma any longer. We pray that you will find complete healing and will not pass on any trauma to the next generation or people who come after you. Healing may not necessarily happen over night, but we invite you to begin the process today. "But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed." Isaiah 53 : 5 (KJV)

In this episode of the Found in Christ podcast, Ashira sits down with Tariro, or T for short, again as they go through the topic of Boundaries within Friendships. They speak about red flags in friendships, when is enough enough and when to actually cut them off. We believe that cutting contact with someone does not mean you need to hate them, or that they're no longer valued in God's eyes. However, it is necessary sometimes for either you or them to grow, and move on to the next season of your life. It's not a bad thing to draw boundaries, limit communication or stop communication with someone altogether. You're not a bad person if you do that. "Like a city that is broken down and without walls [leaving it unprotected] Is a man who has no self-control over his spirit [and sets himself up for trouble]." Proverbs 25 : 28 (AMP)

In this episode of the Found in Christ podcast, Ashira sits down with Tariro, or T for short, again as they go through the topic of Boundaries within Friendships. They speak about why boundaries are important within the friendship context, how they actually function to protect us rather than hurt others, and practical steps in which we can begin to draw boundaries within a friendship.

Remember that you are a child of God, and you shouldn't be letting anyone step all over you, even if that person is a close friend. You are precious and beloved, and sometimes drawing a line in the sand can be for our good or for the good of another. It's not a bad thing to draw boundaries, limit communication or stop communication with someone altogether. You're not a bad person if you do that. "Like a city that is broken down and without walls [leaving it unprotected] Is a man who has no self-control over his spirit [and sets himself up for trouble]." Proverbs 25 : 28 (AMP)

In this latest episode of the Found in Christ podcast, Ashira sits down to talk about strategies on how to win the battle in our minds. She speaks about the lies the enemy tells us, and reminds us of the promises of God used to counter those lies.

If there has been attack on your mind, just know that you can win this battle. God has given you the authority over the enemy and every lie, anxiety, stress, fear, insecurity, or depression he tries to keep you in. You can get through this, don't give up just yet!

"For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds" 2 Corinthians 10 : 4 KJV

We're so excited that Easter is coming! Thank you Jesus for giving His life up for us so we can live! We highly encourage you to take this time to really reflect on the extent of God's love for you.

If you have been away from God, or feel like He's distant, or never even had a relationship with God, but do desire one, don't worry! He still loves you so much! We will talk about how to reset with fasting and praying. It's difficult but worth it. We're believing that through fasting and praying, you will experience breakthrough in your life, whether it's in an addiction, sin pattern, or just getting out of the wilderness, and distance from God.

"However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.” Matthew 17 : 21 NIV

In this episode of the Found in Christ podcast, we have Shanti back with us as she shares her battle with a terrible autoimmune disease, and going through an extreme betrayal by a loved one in the midst of the physical pain, but still finding hope in Jesus. She has gone through not just excruciating physical pain but suffered in her mental health, as well as struggled in her walk with God, but God still showed up for her, and He can show up for you too!

If you're also in the midst of battling a disease, or heartbreak, or betrayal from your close family and friends, our heart goes out to you. We don't have all the answers, but we pray that hope will arise in your hearts as you listen to this testimony.

"In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16 : 33 NIV

For this latest episode of the Found in Christ podcast, Shanti joins Ashira to share her testimony on how God encountered her in the midst of her search for the One true God. She speaks about her struggles as a doctor to believe in the Bible, but how in her search, God answered all her doubts. Whether you're from a different faith, or have no faith at all, or have loved ones of different faiths, we do not judge you and you are perfectly welcome here! We hope that through this episode, you would be encouraged to seek God on your own and discover the extent of His love for you. “And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.” Romans 8 : 38 NLT

In this episode of the Found in Christ podcast, Ashira sits down with her boyfriend, Gabriel to speak about having the courage to draw boundaries and confront within the family, whilst challenging the cultural norm of children being pressured to live the lives that their parents want them to live, which may not necessarily reflect the calling of God over their lives. We understand that the topic of “Family” can be a touchy subject for some, but we hope that through this episode, you would be encouraged to continue to honour, love, and pray for your family, while maintaining or learning to draw healthy boundaries. You are not alone, and remember, how much God loves you and your family. “Never stop praying. Whatever happens, always be thankful…” 1 Thessalonians 5 : 17-18 ERV

We hope that by sharing our stories, you're one step closer to realising your identity as a child of God, and would be able to step into the God friendships, relationships and love story that our Father in Heaven has for you. "Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!” Matthew 7:9-11

If you have been hurt by the church or are the one causing hurt, we do not judge you.

We do not judge, condemn or shame you if this you have gone through similar hurts, or made some mistakes.

We do not judge or condemn if you've done the wrong things or are away from God. We hope that by sharing our stories, you would find hope in the darkness, and know that it's never too late to come back to Jesus and fully submitting yourself to God.
