UNABRIDGED FAITH™, Biblical Mindset, Motherhood, Encouragement, Rest
Do you wish you could hear God’s voice amidst the chaos? Are you struggling to find stillness & quiet time in the busyness of momlife? Do you want to read the bible but find it hard to stay consistent with your child’s unpredictable schedule? Are thoughts and should’s keeping you from being present daily (& sometimes, moment by moment)? I’ve been you, and sometimes, I still am you. But mama, I am here to show you that it is possible to trust God & find time to feel peace in His presence, even as a busy mom. Through this podcast, God’s presence will refresh, surround & transform us as we listen for His voice and follow Him, making use of those tiny cracks in our day. My mission is to journey alongside you as we grow in our faith (leaving nothing out) by being present with God’s word, practicing prayer, pursuing fellowship & sharing powerful testimonies! If you want to learn how to invite God’s peace into your heart, motherhood, and mind, I know this podcast will speak to you. Welcome to a sisterhood of women who are fiercely in love with The Lord & who are committed to openly growing in their faith (with no judgment as we remember how to converse with other adult human beings)!! Aloha Mama! My name is Paige Amber Bacani!! I am blessed to be a lover of Jesus, wife, mama & mentor!! However, I wasn’t always this way…For years I lived life as my own God. I came to know The Lord intimately at a very young age, but as the years passed and were filled with my parents divorce, blended families, lots of moving, abusive relationships, disordered eating, body dysmorphia, and a plethora of my own bad decisions; I became numb to God’s presence, deaf to His voice, and blind to His leading. I also became tormented by spirits of perfectionism, control & criticism…if you can relate, you know how exhausting these vicious cycles are. I was being crushed by the weight of the world that I had created for myself. But I was still not ready to give up my false sense of freedom… I wasn’t ready because I didn’t trust The Lord or His unconditional love for me. I thought I had to earn it & I knew that I hadn’t done that!! I didn’t know the worth that He had placed inside of me. I thought I had to prove myself worthy & I knew that I wasn’t! I didn’t trust that He had plans to prosper me and not to harm me, plans to give me a hope and a future. I thought I had to plan, provide for & protect myself! Ultimately, I realized that my mistrust & misunderstanding of God’s character stemmed from the fact that I had no real relationship with Him. I rarely spent time with Him outside of church, except for the occasional emergency prayer! By the grace of God, I finally ran out of strength. My capacity to cope with the war raging inside of me was spent. I couldn’t imagine one more day of living in the unknown & acting like I had it all figured out! So one morning, sitting in my car (that was out of gas), after yet another night of drinking to the point of blackout, I surrendered and told The Lord, “if you really want me, you can have me, I am done doing this life thing on my own” and I have never been the same. The best way I can describe what The Lord has done in & through my life is that, I was one way & now I am completely different. I want that for you.. & I understand where you are… Becoming a mom only amplifies our trials. Yet, when we don’t know how to lean on the Lord, we lean even deeper into perfectionism, control & criticism. We run from discipline and say that ‘no time’ or ‘inconsistency’ keeps us from reading His Word & building deeper trust. It’s time to prioritize our relationship with the One who created us, with the One who faithfully puts air in our lungs, with the only One whose presence will bring us the true & lasting peace that our busy mama hearts ache for!! I know it’s hard, but it is so worth it. This is me, five years after fully re-surrendering my life to our God!! I stand in humbled awe at what The Lord has done with my simple surrender & I smile with eager excitement for what is to come for you & for me! My heart is eager with expectant anticipation at how The Lord will move in and through our individual lives & stories, because I trust that He will. ”Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill His promises to her!” (Luke 1:45) Slip on your shoes, strap on your little one(s) & lets go for a walk, we have a date with The Lord!!

Aloha & Happy Monday Sweet Sisters!!
Praise God for HIS WORD & for HIS PEOPLE!! Today we will read through 1 John 4 : 7 - 21 & then I will share a little exert from my bible that so simply, elegantly & clearly explains what is meant by the truthful phrase of: "God Is Love"!
The writer of this exert also explains how God is love, but love is NOT God! I am so looking forward to you hearing such a giant concept being broken down into pieces we can begin to grasp, while still leaving plenty of unknowns that invite us into a deeper worship of our Creator & His unending magnificence!!
ENJOY!!
All my love always,
Your Sister,
Paige!!

Aloha & Happy Early Valentines Day!!
Have you ever asked yourself, what is love? I have & until I searched The Bible, I was left without an answer!
Today, 1 Corinthians 13 will explain to us, in great detail, what love is & how important it is that we live in the Truth of God's love! We will be reminded that God's love for us is Agape: entirely sacrificial & expecting nothing in return!! We will also be reminded that love is based on His deliberate choosing of us!!
May this episode lead you into a deeper understanding of God's love & spur you onto worship!
ENJOY!!
All my love always,
Your Sister,
Paige!!

Aloha & Goodmorning Sweet Sisters!!
In today's episode you will get to hear about God's love for YOU! You will hear about how God loved you before you even knew what love was, before you even had the opportunity to know Him or accept Him!
In other words, while you were still a sinner (aka missing the mark), Jesus LOVED you. There was nothing that you did that made Him love you then & there is nothing that you can do that will make Him love you any more than He already does now!! Just in case you didn't catch it yet, there will also never be anything that you can do in the future to earn more of His love. He IS love & He does love you!
May this be an invitation to REST in His incredible love for YOU & may it grow your love for Him!!
ENJOY!!
All my love always,
Your Sister,
Paige!!

Principles For Effective Intercession
1. Praise God for who He is, and for the privilege of engaging in the same wonderful ministry as the Lord Jesus.
2. Make sure your heart is clean before God, by having given the Holy Spirit time to convict, should there be any unconfessed sin.
3. Acknowledge you can’t really pray without the direction and energy of the Holy Spirit.
4. Deal aggressively with the enemy. Come against him in the all-powerful Name of the Lord Jesus Christ and with the “sword of the Spirit”—the Word of God.
5. Die to your own imaginations, desires, and burdens for what you feel you should pray.
6. Praise God now in faith for the remarkable prayer meeting you’re going to have. He’s a remarkable God and will do something consistent with His character.
7. Wait before God in silent expectancy, listening for His direction.
8. In obedience and faith, utter what God brings to your mind, believing.
9. If possible have your Bible with you should God want to give you direction or confirmation from it.
10. When God ceases to bring things to your mind to pray for, finish by praising and thanking Him for what He has done, reminding yourself of Romans 11:36, “For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever! Amen.”

Aloha & Goodmorning Sweet Sisters!!
Today we will be practicing our first ever breath prayer together!! Breathing & Mindful Movement play such an integral part in my life, as well as my worship unto our Creator & it is my joy & blessing to be openly sharing a piece of it with all of you!!
In essence, a breath prayer is matching our breath (that The Lord so graciously continues to give us day after day) with God's word (that is alive & active) as a form of prayer!
(( If a biblical breath prayer session is something that interests you please email me, I look forward to connecting with you!! ))
I hope you are able to rest & feel peace in God's Presence!
Enjoy!!
All my love,
Your Sister,
Paige!!

Aloha, GoodMorning & HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Today is the last episode of our "testimony series" & we tell my most favorite story yet...Jacobs birth story!! Oh my goodness, my face hurt from smiling & laughing so much by the end of it!
We also share an authentic & transparent overview of what the last two years of our life has looked like & where we are now. We share what God has led us into, what He has led us out of & the vision that He has shown us.
The grace that The Lord has had on us as He continues to provide us with opportunities to TRUST in Him for, in & with EVERYTHING is truly miraculous!!
Trust God & ENJOY!!

Aloha & GoodMorning!
My husband starts today's episode off by processing our miscarriage from his perspective. It was so healing for me to hear his experience through it all & I hope it is for you as well.
We go on to share about our time in the Bahamas, our team debrief back in the states, lots of prayer & what it was like re-entering society during COVID.
((My FAVORITE part is discovering that we had another baby in my belly on Mothers Day!!))
Trust God & ENJOY!!

Aloha & GoodMorning!!
Today's episode is ALL about trusting God & trusting each other, even when it doesn't make sense! I was in one of the happiest seasons of my life, yet struggling with depression.
We had just gotten married, yet my husband was led to the mission field (& I trusted The Lord's leading through him)! We experience the joy of announcing new life, yet having our hearts softened for the loss of our baby girl, Agape Joy Bacani.
& through it ALL The Lord IS Faithful!
Trust God & ENJOY!!

Your Sister,
