Rekindled Faith

This is the official launch of SEASON TWO of Rekindled Faith! 
Join Melanie as she shares with you the plans for this season and invites you into the raw and authentic process of season Christ in the midst of it. Whether you are struggling in your relationship with God, feeling isolated or like an outcast of the church -- you have a seat at this table. 
 
 

What is a hypocritical Christian, why does it happen, what does it look like and do they really know....
Join Melanie as she share some of her own personal experience dealing with hypocrisy, healing from it and discerning moments that lead us into accountability. 

When God pulls out the pruning shears... RUN!
No, just kidding!! Its a good process, if you don't believe me then listen in to this episode and let's unpack why. 
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."
 
 
 

Join Melanie and Richard Suttles (The Faithiest Atheist) as they have an honest discussion about the Atheist vs Christian relationship, human behaviour and how to show up authentically in conversations with "the other side"
 
 

No adoption story is the same, but many have faced an identity crisis in the midst of being given the gift of life. Join Melanie and Troy Lydiate from Apologetics Canada as they deep dive into their personal stories of adoption.

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
