Rekindled Faith
Whether you’ve been wrestling with questions, facing doubt or simply uninspired -- Let’s dive into what it means to be authentic followers of Christ. This podcast is for those who know what it means to walk through the wilderness of isolation, those who have struggled with church hurt, and have been on the edge of Christianity ready to walk away. Join us as we discuss the hard questions of faith, digging into Biblical doctrine and choosing to overcome the pain that has separated us from God and his family. We will have interviews with scholars, theologians’, apologists’ and every-day-people who have experienced the pain of separation, and moved through the wilderness into a deeper and more fulfilling understanding of the God who calls us into relationship with Him.

John 15:1-8 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 Every branch in me that does not produce fruit he removes, and he prunes every branch that produces fruit so that it will produce more fruit. 3 You are already cleanbecause of the word I have spoken to you. 4 Remain in me, and I in you. Just as a branch is unable to produce fruit by itself unless it remains on the vine, neither can you unless you remain in me. 5 I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in me and I in him produces much fruit,because you can do nothing without me. 6 If anyone does not remain in me, he is thrown aside like a branch and he withers. They gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you want and it will be done for you. 8 My Father is glorified by this: that you produce much fruit and prove to be[a]my disciples."

Melanie brings to light some of the struggles that believers may face throughout their journey of seeking the heart of God in a world with constant noise and expectations from fellow believers and those outside the fold.
Come in the season you are in and find the awe inspiring hope of the God who created you on purpose, for a purpose.

Sometimes it's not working because we aren't actually doing the work to make it work.
Still with me?
We go through seasons of longing for connection and relationship with God, yet sometimes in those same seasons we are complacent in the process of digging into the obedient action of pursuing Christ. Are you willing to let go of the things that are separating you from Christ? Are you willing to dive into the Word?
"We must allow the word of God to confront us, to disturb our security, to undermine our complacent and to over throw our patterns of thought and behaviour." - John Stott
Psalm 118:8 "Trust in God, not mere humans."

So, you’re a Christian now, but God seems to be ignoring you… now what?
We have all encountered passionate Christians that seem to have an easy life, whether they go through trials or not, they look peaceful… but WHY? Melanie will share the not-so-secret tools they use to get to the point of turning sorrow into dancing.

At some point we need to make the decision to move in the right direction, pursuing relationship with Christ and digging into the truth of who He is and why He cares for us. Rekindled Faith was catapulted into action because of a non-Christian. God can and will use people and circumstances to "wake us up." Don't miss that message -- WE are responsible for being the hands and feet of Jesus

When Jesus was led into the wilderness in Luke 4, for the purpose of being tested by Satan. He was full of the Spirit. Through the testing, He remained in the Spirit, and once He left -- guess what, he was still full of the Spirit.
Join Melanie as she dives into Luke 4 and the idea of being in the wilderness, what we can learn from Jesus' example, be encouraged in the process whether you find yourself in the wilderness now, or out on the mountain top.

Rekindled Faith Ministries was founded by Melanie Beerda in 2023.
Melanie has experienced spiritual burn out, which resulted in her walking away from faith, only to realize that she couldn't survive without God in her life. For the last 13 years, she has gone through seasons of pain, joy, doubt, loss, isolation and celebration. Now, she is mentoring women, facilitating Bible Studies and empowering others to seek an authentic relationship with Christ.
