Brave Hearted Ministry

Hello Brave Hearted Steppers, I'm excited to announce a new series starting Friday , April 4, 2025 , called From Seeds to Bloom: Embracing God’s Timing in Our Spiritual Growth. What to Expect: Monday, Wednesday and Friday Posts: Each day, I'll bring a new topic about spiritual growth based on this month's Seeds to Bloom series. We’ll look at how we can embrace God's timing in our spiritual growth! Life Applications: Each post will include practical tips to apply the message in your everyday life—whether at work, with your family, in your personal time, etc. Pause, Pray, Take 30! At the end of each post, you’ll find a simple moment called "Pause, Pray, Take 30!"—a short prayer and time to reflect. It’s a way to slow down and connect with God throughout your day. Why This Series is Important: As the times we are living in are too fast-paced, we often want quick results, but God’s timing is different. Just like a seed needs time to grow into a flowe...

  Hello Brave Hearted Steppers, Life Application: God promises to provide everything you need. Trust Him to supply your emotional, spiritual, and physical needs. Release any worries about the future and trust that God is already ahead of you, providing what you need. Bible Verse: "And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19 NIV Pause, Pray, Take 30!: Take 30 seconds to pray for trust in God's provision for your life. Many Blessings, Rev. Maria Guzman Founder of Brave Hearted Ministry

Hello Brave Hearted Steppers, One of my favorite things to do is listen to music. As I reflected on this month's theme, which included the life applications and the Pause, Pray, Take 30! messages, the word "Courage" led me to the song "Take Courage" by Kristene DiMarco. If you haven't heard it yet, I highly recommend taking a moment to listen and reflect on its message. Brave Hearted Ministry is built upon the foundation of this very courage. It’s a ministry rooted in the call to Move Forward in a Brave Hearted way, no matter the obstacles, and to trust in God’s guidance every step of the way. As we walk through the Bible, we see countless examples of Brave Hearted Steppers—individuals who stepped into the unknown with faith and courage to fulfill God’s calling on their lives. In this journey, we can find comfort and strength in the words of the song "Take Courage." These powerful lyrics remind us of the beauty of waiting on God, trusting that He w...

  Hello Brave Hearted Steppers, Life Application: The words you speak have power. Choose today to speak words of encouragement and life, not just to others but also to yourself. Speak truth over your life and the lives of those you interact with. Bible Verse: "The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit." Proverbs 18:21 NIV Pause, Pray, Take 30!: Take 30 seconds to pray for the wisdom to speak words that build up and encourage, both for yourself and those around you. Many Blessings, Rev. Maria Guzman Founder of Brave Hearted Ministry

Hello Brave Hearted Steppers, Life Application: Prayer is powerful, and persistence matters. If God hasn’t answered a prayer yet, keep praying. Don’t give up, knowing that He hears you and will answer according to His will. Bible Verse: "Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up." Luke 18:1 NIV Pause, Pray, Take 30!: Take 30 seconds to pray for the persistence to keep praying, even when it feels like nothing is happening. Many Blessings, Rev. Maria Guzman Founder of Brave Hearted Ministry

  Hello Brave Hearted Steppers, Life Application: Prioritize spending time in God’s Word daily. Let His truth shape your thoughts, decisions, and actions. The more rooted you are in His Word, the stronger and more fruitful your life will be. Bible Verse: "But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither." Psalm 1:2-3 NIV Pause, Pray, Take 30!: Take 30 seconds to pray for a deeper desire to stay rooted in God’s Word every day. Many Blessings, Rev. Maria Guzman Founder of Brave Hearted Ministry
