Hello hi! happy to be back and I am coming to you straight out of Vietnam! If you have been around since the beginning of this podcast, perhaps you'll know that my very first episode was actually recorded here in Vietnam during lockdown...WOW
Blesed to be back here and on a mission this year, which leads me to today's topic...Where are you? Do you know where you currently are in your life and in your relationship with God? Do you have a relationship with God, an active, living, intimate relationship? I can help you with this and share with you how I went from complacency to intimacy and being on fire for God You can get Godly Confidence here now for 35% OFF because it is my birthday month! Also I just turned 35😁
I was reading James 1:5 and what stood out to me was ASK for wisdom. How can you ask for something from someone you don't have a relationship with?
Relying on the fact that God knows your heart, doesn't make Him less God but it makes you experience less of God.
I hope this episode can bless you and guide you today and may the Lord speak to your heart.
Thanks for listening and feel free to share this episode with someone who needs this, be sure to follow me @minettebruwer for more Godly Confidence!
Keep shining!✨
Thanks so much for tuning in today, this topic has been on my heart for quite some time so i am really excited to share this with you!
My hope is that after today's episode you can identify any misconceptions you have and redefine them with God's help.
Definitions play a crucial role in shaping our perspective and reality and our understanding of concepts influences our behaviors, judgments, and interactions with others.
I cover five examples of everyday concepts you will absolutely recognize and perhaps even resonate with these common misconceptions in your own life.
I have added biblical counterpoints for you so get out a pen and paper so you can note down these verses.
Thank you for supporting my podcast and please share this with someone you feel could benefit from this. This helps this podcast grow and you will help me reach more people!

Have you turned away from God?
In today's episode I go into some reasons and personal experiences I have gone through that drove me away from God.
You are not alone and I hope that this episode can encourage you today that if this is you, to turn to Him with all your struggles, challenges, fears ,anger, resentment or bitterness.
Are you angry at God? Tell Him!
Here are some verses that I hope can help you reflect and remember His goodness and faithfulness.

I AM BACK!
I was unsure of how to make my comeback and all I prayed for is that God uses me throughout this episode and enable me to share what it is that He has revealed to me.
In today's episode I break down why I went offline, I did not know the reason until I was offline.
The lessons I learned throughout this time has been deep, love-filled, fast, grounbreaking, inspiring and has taken me into a deeper more intimate relationship with God.
Please know that this is not something reserved for ME only, and for you to only ever listen and feel like it is not possible for you...Pease, friends, God is a God for all of us, He wants an INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU! You specifically!
Please take the time to reflect on the questions towards the end of the episode and get into the habit of checking in with God and staying sensitive to the Holy Spirit, His ways and His thoughts.
There is NO DOUBT in my mind that God's plans for your life are far greater and better than anything you could ever think or imagine!

Hello Hi! Thank for tuning in to today's episode as I sit down to chat to you about what has actually been going on in my life, what I have been busy with and what God has been revealing to me with regards to using what I have and how I don't really love myself...Ouch.. what an eye-opener.
I am honest when I tell you, that just because you believe in Jesus, doesn't mean you wont face trials, in fact Jesus tells us that we WILL face challenges. BUT, He also promises His peace during those times. That is what I have been holding on to and focusing on using what I have. being faithful in the small things. I am excited to see what God has in store for me and every single one of you listening!
Please feel free to share your testimonies with me via email, I would love to hear from you and praise God with you!
I hope this episode can encourage and inspire you to pick up and use what is in your hand.
xx Much love

Today I share with you the audio straight from the 'Godly Confidence' program I am running currently.
This is day 1 from week 4 and you can watch the full video here
I hope this encourages you to ask God for help, seek Him in every area of your life and KNOW that He is here, He has not left you. This program is meant to boost your confidence by creating a space to learn about God, what He wants for you and HOW to invite Him into your daily life, from prayers, to health, to self-development and finances.
The 2nd round of Godly Confidence will be launching on the 28th of August and you can find out more here. I also share my story, where I have been and how I can confidently sit here and host this program.
It has been an honor and I am so grateful for how God has shown up throughout the creation process in making this program meet you where you are. How gracious is God? Meeting us where we are.
The ladies have had an amazingly impactful experience thus far, and I cannot simply run it only once.
If you would like to know a little more, feel free to reach out to me directly on minette.bruwer1@gmail.com or DM me via Instagram @minettebruwer
I am looking forward to being a part of your journey in building and strengthening your relationship with God.
xx Keep shining!
Do you feel as if God has forgotten about you? Do you feel hopeless? Like it is no use to even pray anymore?
I hope this episode can encourage you and inspire you to seek Him in everything and in any situation you mind find yourself in currently. Sometimes we just want to get through the tough times as soon as possible and not wait, we get so frustrated and get so caught up with our current circumstances that we DO NOT WAIT ON GOD. Waiting on Him is not always easy because we do not want to be stuck in a difficult situation but what if you found peace in knowing He is with you no matter how long it may take and instead ask Him to reveal what He wants you to learn, do or become throughout this time.
He has been there, is here and will be with you until the very end. He does not go anywhere, we are the ones that drift away from Him...

Is your identity found in status, reputation, possessions or your job description?
In today's episode we go into the second part which makes up week 2 of 'Godly Confidence' (starting July 3rd)
I used to find my identity in things of the world for so long...thing is, they change. Appearances, jobs, friends and reputations and then so does my identity.
However, God is constant, reliable and your identity can be found in WHAT He has done for you. We often hesitate to break free from our identities because WHO ARE WE THEN? Will you allow God to guide you into finding and building your identity? The one He has created?
I invite you to listen today with an open heart and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you to where you are currently placing or finding your identity.
Sign up for 8 weeks of growing your relationship with the Lord, strengthening your faith in Him and that you are absolutely not here by mistake. Be surrounded by a community for support and fellowship. I am so excited for what God has placed on my heart and cannot wait to share it with you in hope of getting you closer to God and what He has created you for.

In this episode I share ways on how you can build a relationship with God.
BONUS: Here are some questions to help you dive a little deeper
1. Why do you think it is important to have a relationship with God?
2. What kind of relationship would you like to have with the Lord?
3. Do you have a hard time hearing from God? If you think about it, do you hear from God but do not hear the answer you want to hear and then just think you do not hear from Him?
4. How much quality time do you spend with God? How do you think you can commit to spending more time in His presence?
5. When do you pray? Do you think you have to have a set time aside for prayer?

As I am recording this episode I am getting ready for Youth night at the church, thinking if only we can help the youth of today already discover these things about themselves, the lives we would impact.
If you know anyone that could benefit from this episode, please share it with them.
The app I refer to in this episode is YOU Version Bible App
At the lend of the day this is not sharing my episodes for my own vanity but spreading awareness of Who GOD is.
In today's episode, we take a closer look at some ways you can kickstart your confidence in who God says you are, WHY you are here and once you are clear and confident in your purpose, the fact that you have one, taking your next step comes from clarity.
May the Lord bless you may you grow in Him.
