Hello, hello, hello ladies and gents. As always, I'm Kirby Kelly, also known as Kirby

as a boss on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram. And if you haven't been here the last three weeks or you're just now tuning in for the first time, if that is you, hi, hello, welcome. Glad you're here. We are wrapping up my podcast episode series, also known as called to be. You can probably see from the past few episodes I've put out. We've been in a whole series where we've been talking about who God is and where our identity comes from from him. We've talked about our identity of being loved.

Of being royalty of being holy. And today we will conclude this series by listening to an old episode of mine on which I talk about what it means to be bold. I hope this empowers you. It ignites joy and bravery within you to be a witness of his word and the works that he has done in your life. So listen up and enjoy.

Hello, hello, hello, ladies and gents. My name is Kirby Minic AKA Kirby is a boss and welcome to the bot and beloved podcast. I am so happy that you chose to join me here today and to get a good word from the word. It's going to be an amazing time. And I'm super pumped to talk to you guys about boldness.

Now typically on my podcasts, for those of you who are subscribed and have been here before, then you know that I have an open email. It's bought and beloved at gmail.com. That's bought a and D beloved at gmail.com all spelled out. And I just encourage you guys pretty much every day, weekly to send in your questions. If you have a situation you're going through or if you just need biblical wisdom and advice or maybe you have a topic suggestion for the podcast.

I encourage you to just send it to that email. I look through it pretty much every day every week. And that's how I write these podcasts. Now for this week, though, I decided to kind of just talk about my own thing. And in something that the Lord has really spoken to me in a specific season of my life. And I just thought it would be great to share this this word with you all about boldness in our faith.

So I haven't pulled this topic from a specific email or request. I know this is something that people ask me about all the time in in sharing our faith in going out and pursuing the things that Lord that the Lord has called us to do in claiming territory in the name of Jesus and facing the enemy.

We are called to be bold believers. And that's what I want to highlight today. But real quick, before we get into that, I am actually on mission at the moment. So I've recorded this podcast a little beforehand before I went over there. So I'm in Switzerland. Actually, I'm in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. So if you could be sending up prayers for me, my team, as we're continuing doing missions over there, that would be incredible.

Prayer is just for overall health and safety. Prayer is that the Lord opens up the hearts of the people that we're reaching out to and prayers out the Lord just does a transformative work in in the hearts of the people doing ministry, myself, my team, and everyone involved. That would be incredible.

And while you're at it, while I'm, you know, plug-in things, remember to subscribe to the podcast.

And you can also leave a five-star rating if you want. That would mean the world to me. And a review, if you have a few seconds, just write about how, you know, this podcast has helped you. And it really gives me insight as to how it's going and how this

is how this is pouring into y'all because I truly want to be a voice and a vessel for the Lord into your lives on this podcast. So yeah, do all that good stuff. You can also follow me on Instagram, Twitter, or subscribe to my YouTube channel. All those platforms are curvy as a boss.

More so specifically, my Instagram, I'll be doing awesome updates as to the missionary work we're doing over there. So if you want updates, or if you just want to follow me and kind of get a glimpse into my life and, you know, be even more intentional because I love to respond to DMs.

And, and comments and things like that. You can follow me on that as well. But enough with the plugins, enough with the rambling. I know why you clicked on this podcast. You want to hear about boldness. So that's what we're going to talk about. We're going to talk about boldness, how we can live a life of boldness in our prayer life and spending time in his word. And then pursuing him in relationship because those are three core things that as believers, we need to be pursuing.

We need to be pursuing a bold prayer life. We need to be pursuing a bold pursuit and spending time with God in the word. And we need to be bold in pursuing a relationship with Jesus daily.

So I, as many of you guys probably have guessed from all the plugins, I've been blessed with an amazing platform. But with this platform, y'all, it's not about me. And that's something I have to continue as an influencer.

Quarant quote, as an influencer, I have to continue, continue to check my heart and lay this down and recognizing that God is the one who blessed me with this platform and that it's for him. But with that, the Lord has given me a bold calling and a commission to be bold for the gospel.

And to lay this down for him, not just being outspoken, not just tweeting Jeremiah 29, 11 every now and again, but living my life for Christ fully behind the scenes to the point where it bleeds out in its showcased and everything I do without the fear of man on my mind in the spotlight.

So boldness for those of you who might not know, boldness is making the choice to enter into battle and to not fear. Why? Because we are confident that the spirit of the Lord will fulfill and will triumph victoriously for his glory.

That's what boldness is. Boldness is choosing to enter into battle without fear knowing who our God is, knowing what he is capable of, knowing what he has called us to do.

If we have true confidence and hope in our God, then we will grow and stepping out into boldness.

Now in 2 Corinthians chapter 3 verse 12, it says, since we have such a hope, we are very bold. So hope is what breeds boldness.

Now if hope is what breeds boldness, what is hope? Because clearly if we want to live bold lives in our prayer life and our pursuit after the Lord and our quiet times in the battles, we need to have hope and a good story of hope and boldness that we see in scripture is in the life of David.
