Amiga Arise | Awaken Identity. Discover Freedom. Journey With God.

Hola Amiga, this is Priscilla Gomez and Haley Martnick, your hosts for the Amiga Arise Podcast. Haley and I are two women of faith, and who are called to care for others. We are passionate about educating, empowering and equipping women of all ages and backgrounds to deepen their relationship with self, God and others. Priscilla and I have our own unique testimonies, and that God beautifully brought us together to share the same freedom we experienced in our walk with Christ. This podcast is discipleship, an invitation to awaken your true self, find God’s presence, and allow His love to transform each part of your life. Priscilla is a Licensed Clinical Therapist who entered this field to help others find healing from emotional wounds and trauma, but she quickly realized true healing was not possible without the love of God. She has then introduced faith into her treatment care for others and invites all to journey with God for their well-being. Haley has her Masters in Leadership Studies with an emphasis in Spiritual Formation. She is a Mentor, Spiritual Director, and Creative! Haley seeks for all to discover freedom and their royal identity in Christ. Her heart is to mentor youth and counsel women in all seasons of life. She believes every person has a beautiful calling on their life and wants to walk with others into their true, whole beloved self. We will tackle hard conversations and explore a wide range of topics related to spirituality, psychology and relationships. We will be using our educational background and experience in mental health, theology and leadership to challenge current norms, broaden your awareness, and encourage your faith. We invite you to embark on this journey together. We promise to have fun, learn, laugh, cry and pray together.

Hola Amiga, 
Priscilla and Haley bring the great Pam Lowe.  She comes on to share her wealth of knowledge on the beauty of building friendships that last past the test of time.  
Pam shares what she has learned over her lifetime, and the questions she had to ask herself to ensure she was tending to the “garden” of the friendships she was building and holding. 
 
Here are the questions to ask yourself: 
How good of friend am I?
Am I the type of friend I would want?
Am I available?
Can I keep a secret?
Do I speak truth in love?
How are my motives…what prompts me into a friendship?
Do I lift up my friends or pull them down?
Do I draw them closer to God, or farther away?
 
Pam was such a treat and blessing to have on our podcast, we know you will blessed by her wisdom! 
Love your, 
Amigas!

Hola Amiga, 
Priscilla and Haley share their hearts behind Season 3 “The Joy of Conversation & Friendship.”  Jesus models the perfect friendship for us, and we get to emulate the Heart of the Father in our own friendships and relationships.  Relationships can be challenging, but we can always look to the Father to help us serve in relationships rather than seeking what we can get out of it. 
In today’s episode Priscilla and Haley get real and vulnerable about the beauty of friendship, and what God is constantly teaching through relationships. God is a relational God, and He wants to give us good and healthy relationships, so what can we do to ensure we are walking in healthy and beautiful fellowship with one another as He commands us? Listen in, and we hope you find some encouragement! 
Love your, 
Amigas!

Hola Amiga, 
We are back, and we are kicking off Season 3 “The Joy of Conversations & Friendship.”  Today we brought in Haley’s life friend Lara to talk all about what it takes to build a life friendship! “Friendship is not just to serve you. It’s to serve each other and that’s the way Jesus modeled as our bridegroom.”  “Friendship it’s not self-seeking it’s self-sacrificing.” 
In today’s episode we get to know Lara a little more, and she shares with us her wisdom on friendships and what she has learned along the way from all her friendships.  We are excited for you to get to know Lara and hear the friendship story between Haley and Lara! 
Love your, 
Amigas!

Hola Amiga, 
Summer is here, and we want to encourage you look inward to check-in with your heart.  We wanted to encourage you to walk in the freedom God has given you to be truly you. God made you unique to be uniquely you, so don’t let the enemy steal, lie or destroy your sense of self or identity in Christ.  The comparison game is just a trick to distract you from what God truly has in store for you, and that is FREEDOM. 
Take a deep dive on an inward look.  What is God calling you to this summer? Set your eyes on Him, and let Him direct your steps.  We promise He won’t let you down, because that is His Promise for you. 
Embrace summer and walk in the freedom to be truly you! 
Love your, 
Amigas!

Intimacy with Christ, by Jeanne Guyon. “Jeanne was born in south-central France in the mid-1600s. Her writings and her ministry knew a brief period of popularity, making her a friend even of the wife of Louis XIV. She greatly influenced the life of Fenelon, one of the two most famous clergymen in France's history and she earned the wrath of the other, Bosuet. The conflict between these two giants over her teachings led to her disgrace in the king's court and then her imprisonment. Three hundred years later she is still one of the most influential people in the lives of those who seek a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.” https://books.google.com/books/about/Intimacy_With_Christ.html?id=rcFvAAAACAAJ

Hola Amiga, 
We are half-way through the year, and we want to encourage you look inward to check-in with your heart.  What has been owning your heart lately that might need a closer look or to be fully surrendered to the Lord? 
Have you given your worries, stress and anxiety to the Lord?  He is always inviting us into somewhere new and fresh, and wants to be with us in all details.  He does not require perfection, He just wants our “yes” to him, but are you trusting Him with the process? What are your goals and dreams for this year? And have you allowed the Lord to lead your steps? 
Love your, 
Amigas!

Hola Amiga,
In today’s episode Haley and Priscilla talk all things surrounding the topic of sex, sexuality, and unhealthy exposure to sex and pornographic images at a young age and the effects it has on our minds, bodies and spirits.  Priscilla and Haley bring spiritual perspective and awareness on how to address these concerns and sometimes blind spots in our spiritual walk. 
What is your relationship with sex? Priscilla and Haley answer this question with Biblical truth.  They explain the importance of relationship with God to fully understand underlining issues or concerns that arise with sexual sin.  Priscilla and Haley dismantle the idea of shame around sex and sexual desires and encourage all to get curious with God.
Love your, 
Amigas!
