It takes only two seconds to make the choice, to follow the right or wrong voice. Decisions are often made in a few seconds, determining whether we follow a constructive or destructive path. Do we want to fall into the same deception, misconception, addiction that had us trapped, unable to even see clearly. These moments define whether we confront obstacles or choose to yield. A soldier on the battlefield stays resilient and effective as long as he keeps his shield up. If he lowers his guard—either from exhaustion or believing the enemy is no longer attacking—he becomes vulnerable and may be struck down. At that point, the choice becomes whether to give up or stand up and fight again, to not admit defeat. The difficulties we encounter intensify when perseverance fails, prompting us to reflect on the importance of remaining constant (this is something I lacked for so long) and determined treating life’s trials as significant tests of character and purpose. I am not going to sugar coat that I failed again, I listened to the voice in my head and not the Holy Spirt. But this time I don’t want to just give in and give up. I don’t want to go back to the cycle of shame, unforgiveness and doubt. I want to stand up; I refuse to give up. If you are starting this journey of finding God, your purpose and place, don’t let anything stand in the way of the growth and freedom that will come. The voices, the enemy and the lies in your head will tell you that you cannot do this or that you are alone. Be determined to let God and the Holy Spirt guide you every step of this journey.

Hi I am Miriam Ramirez, I am married and a mother of two, currently servicing at Arise Español. I came to Real Discipleship to build a firm foundation with my relationship with God and find the empowerment, freedom and strength I need to set my eyes on God's purpose for my life.

One of my older sons just lost his job yesterday through a text message. He is taking it very hard. If you can just lift him in prayer with me I would appreciate it.

Preferred Communication: texting or phone, Availability: Mornings 6-8am, evenings after 7pm💎 I Need Most: Accountability and prayer support.

I'm Kelly Garcia, and co-founder of REAL Discipleship with my husband Will Garcia! We live in Riverview, Florida with our 4 youngest children and am counting down the days to meet our grandbaby and oldest in Colorado. We started this ministry in an effort to offer discipleship to those that may not be able to find in within their own church walls, maybe they do have it but hunger for more, or even extend discipleship to those that are believers but struggle with believing in the "Church" after some form of disappointment or church hurt from the past - but want to follow Jesus more intentionally than doing nothing at all. We are here for it all! I believe this community can grow to hundreds, if not thousands, of people who are not just disciples, but also disciples of others as they walk forward. They might extend a hand to help someone else along the journey, as we believe in Reaching the Lost. Equipping the Found, Activating the Gifting and Launching our brothers and sisters in Christ into the Kingdom. We can't do that alone. We need YOU! I am SO excited to hear from you all and get to know you all - See you around the community!!
