Let's do it together. Hey? I am enjoying to have as a guest
Jeanine Banza: my second daughter, Ketsia
Banza.
Jeanine Banza: Okay.
Jeanine Banza is a girl who is evolving into a great woman of God.
Jeanine Banza: I am so excited to introduce to you Ketsa Banza; hey, would you tell the audience today about you and what you do?
Ketsia Banza: Hey? Yeah. My name is Ketsia. I'm 21. I just recently graduated college. I'm back in Dallas, where I reside.
Ketsia Banza: I finished with a major and business administration with emphasizing and computer information systems. And I'm not really sure where I want to take that yet. But I'm kinda just.
Ketsia Banza: living in, you know, just going with the flow and what God wants for me kinda I feel like he's telling me to rest right now. So that's what I'm trying to do. But I've also been feeling called to.
Ketsia Banza: Well, I'm sorry. Music is. Music is a big passion in my life. It's literally the biggest passion in my life, singing and making music, and it's a gift that God has given me, and I feel like he's given me that gift to tell others about his gift. So I want to pursue worship, leading and going to Ministry School in the fall, and just seeing where God wants to use me.
Jeanine Banza: Beautiful, beautiful! Is God real?
Jeanine Banza: Can you reach out to God? Is the conversation with my daughter today...
How do you know for sure God is real?
Jeanine Banza: in your life, in my life. How do you sense him? I will start talking about myself.
Jeanine Banza: I used to have a tough time. I'm not gonna lie to you at some point in my life.
Jeanine Banza: It's not. It's not that I doubted the existence of God or anything like that. It's not that it's not about that. But I just wanted to be honest here.
Jeanine Banza: I wanted. I was a curious child. I grew up being very curious. I just wanted to sense it for myself, beyond what I have been taught by my parents and grandparents, or
Jeanine Banza: even my religious teachers.
Jeanine Banza: I grew up
Jeanine Banza: as someone who lived for truth.
Jeanine Banza: I search it to find the truth.
Jeanine Banza: I wanted to find the truth of God without having to rely on other humans. That was me.
Jeanine Banza: and that is allowed in Christianity. That's what I finally found out, doubt is okay.
It's okay to doubt.
Jeanine Banza: because in the Bible 1, one time, remember Ketsia Jesus, one of Jesus' disciples.
Jeanine Banza: whose name was Thomas. He doubts it.
Jeanine Banza: he doubts it. He didn't believe it.
Jeanine Banza: the other friends saw Jesus, so he wanted a personal experience with Jesus.
Jeanine Banza: and you, too, can do that.
Jeanine Banza: Not only Thomas, many, many, many people in the Bible doubted.
Especially under a difficult times or in severe afflictions.
Jeanine Banza: The only bad thing is to stay in doubt forever, and not willing to find an answer.
You know.
Jeanine Banza: Once you find yourself in a place of doubt
Jeanine Banza: in this season called doubt.
Jeanine Banza: You are unsure about what to believe, on, what? Not to believe, who to believe?
Jeanine Banza: Go and ask God to find answers. So many people cry out to God to reveal.
Jeanine Banza: They want God to reveal to them. The other person is David. In Psalm 142, verse one.
Jeanine Banza: It's chapter Psalm 142, 1-6
Jeanine Banza: one to 6.
Jeanine Banza: Look, this person who is trying to find out about God. Look what he said. And this is David! I cried aloud to the Lord. I lift up my voice to the Lord for mercy.
I pour out before him.
Jeanine Banza: my complaint
Ketsia Banza: before him. I tell my trouble, so it's allowed to step your trouble before God, right?
When my spirit grows fat within me.
Jeanine Banza: It's you who watch over my ways.
Jeanine Banza: I will stop today to let Ketsia come in next time for this wonderful conversation on how to feel God.
Jeanine Banza: thank you for listening. Watch the full episode with ketsia Banza next time. Thank you!
