Hi, I am Alexandra, mom of 2 incredible children and married to my best friend and partner in the faith.
For years, I tried to find happiness and a sense of purpose in all the wrong places.
I consumed endless self-help books, I would study more, analyze my past, find temporary relief in world distractions, try avoidance for temporary relief, attempt to change others in the hope of improving my relationships, only to find myself exhausted, living in my past, not enjoying the present and with no hope for a future. I had so many dreams but no direction to where my next step would be.
I finally realized that if I wanted to find lasting peace, I had to build my life on a solid unshakable foundation. I found Christ and the amazing peace that comes from being fully known and loved unconditionally.
With the help of mentors, I understood God’s will for my life and developed an unwavering relationship with Him. And I am thrilled to share it with you and give back as I was poured into.
Are you ready to finally find peace for your soul? Partner with the Everlasting God and discover your life's purpose, His amazing will for you, and how to walk in His steps. Experience fulfilling relationships and a sense of purpose that surpasses anything you can dream or imagine.
Open your Bible, put in those earbuds, and listen up! God is speaking to you. He is making everything new. Do you perceive it? Let's get started.

#26: Struggling to Trust God in the Roles He has for you? In-Depth Bible Study on Genders and Spiritual Gifts with Author, Teacher and Evangelist Gordon Ferguson
This episode revisits common misinterpretations of the Bible through the lens of gender roles. I interview Gordon Ferguson, author of the book "The Bible and Women."
Here are the key points discussed:
- Men and women were created equal by God in His image. (Genesis 1)
- Patriarchy, the rule of men over women, is a consequence of sin, not God's original plan. (Genesis 3)
- The Bible should be interpreted in context, considering the culture of the time it was written. (e.g. Ephesians 5)
- Spiritual gifts are not limited by gender. (Romans 12)
- The ideal Christian relationship is one of mutual servanthood, following the example of Jesus. (Philippians 2)
Ferguson argues that a distorted view of women's roles in the Bible has negative consequences for both men and women. He emphasizes the importance of humility and service in all relationships.
