Manage episode 447778975 series 3611793
YOUR PRODUCER AND HOST, BAILEY:
So, what is spilling? Spilling the podcast and what is spiritual tea company and why are there two different things?
What is wrong with you, Bailey? What are you doing? So, Spiritual Tea Company is the home Where Spilling the podcast will live. It is where all of our notes for Spilling will be. It's where all of our resources will be kept. It's where all of our suggestions will be kept.
It's where hopefully lots of other information and great options and opportunities will be, but it's a home for spillers and fillers. So the idea behind the podcast, is much bigger than just a podcast. So, this is something I've been praying on for a year now. It's been a long time coming. I can't believe it's been over a year since I started praying about this.
Honestly, it's been since April of 2023 that I started praying about What my next step was in my fully surrendered obedient journey with God and it led me to a Time period of lots of patience and refining but ultimately God opened my eyes to see it's a podcast. So spiritual tea company is a home for people like me and hopefully people like you who are Spillers or fillers.
So what's a Spiller? A spiller is somebody who is needing to share their experience with an overwhelmingly loving, gracious, powerful God. It is a place for them as Spillers is what we will call them. Spillers can come and make. known the impact that God has made in situations in their lives, in their overall perspective of their life, in everyday interactions in their life, after they've made that choice to fully surrender and be fully obedient to God.
God is incredible and he's so powerful and I think the misconception That people have in today's society is that in past societies too is that If you're a christian if you are A practicing christian, we're not talking religion. We're just talking Followers of Jesus, right? If you are a disciple, if you're a follower of Christ, your life will be boring.
And hopefully people are starting to figure out that that's not true. That is not the case. And if you are a, if you're like a On the fence Christian, you're going to church, you're trying to do the right stuff, but you have not fully stepped into the Extraordinary supernatural power that God could and should have in your life Then you have not yet experienced the full magnitude of how he can work through your obedience through your surrender because God is not boring You He is far from it.
Jesus showed us that a life with him when he walked on earth It was not boring the chosen series, I think has been really eye-opening for a lot of people to see how crazy Jesus's journey on earth was his time here Was radical. It was radically You Loving and miracle working and all the things and God wants to do that. in us. He wants to do it in our lives as believers of him. That's why he gave us the Holy Spirit. That's why he gave us this power of direct access to him. This is something that Moses didn't have. Elijah didn't have. They had access to God through a relationship with him, but they did not have the Holy Spirit the way we have, we have the Holy Spirit.
They did not have access. To the full power and full presence of God. all the time, in them, living and dwelling inside of them through the Holy Spirit. They didn't have that. So, why are we Living lives, thinking that we as Christians, or if we fully surrender and fully transform our lives in the way that God asked us to, in the way Christ modeled for us, we're gonna live a boring life of going to church, never having a good time, and never saying bad words, and never watching bad shows or bad movies.
Like, it's so Silly to think that as Christians we live a just a mediocre boring life. So I am trying to Show people through Spillers through everyday Christian's lives People coming forward and sharing their stories Of how god has worked in incredible supernatural radical ways in their life I want people to share these experiences. I want people to share how incredible their life has become since choosing to be fully obedient and fully surrendered with the Lord.
Spiritual Tea Company is a home for spillers. It is a home for people to come and share their testimony of God working in incredible ways in their life. Of God, moving mountains of God, maybe not moving mountains, but still overwhelming people with the love that he has for them. Spiritual tea company is a platform for people to share those stories and change people's idea and definition and reality of what they think the modern Christian's life looks like, right?
So we have digital media. We have all this, right? Opportunity the internet is crazy worldwide web. It's insane Why is it not more common for people to share their stories of god working? Also spiritual tea company is for people that we will call fillers so A filler is somebody who? Is wanting to live a new life a new life radically change supernatural life, but they may be there like me and they need lots of simulation because maybe you're neurodivergent or what have you and in your everyday life Like me being a housewife is not my cup of tea.
It is not my cup of coffee either It is not what I was born to do. It is not something I'm good at but This might be controversial. I have felt convicted that I am called to still submit to my family and my home in this way. I I am called to do laundry. I am called to make meals for my family. Are those things I'm good at?
No. Are those things I thrive in? No. But how do I get through? I listen to podcasts. I listen to music. I listen to things. I watch TV while I'm doing laundry. And where I found myself was in this constant state of listening to something, but also wanting to live a life radically changed by Jesus. That was the one area I was struggling Fully surrendering to god.
It was the one area. I still struggle with Listening to content that doesn't conflict my spirit that doesn't conflict my soul in the holy spirit that lives in me , I gravitated towards true crime I gravitated towards christian content, but that christian content wasn't always just You It's not always what I need.
Sometimes I, I'm filling myself with Bible study and church and serving and my family and praying and quiet time and devotionals and music and worshiping and praising and all of the
I'm filling myself in all these ways, but when I go to listen to a podcast and I go to listen to a Christian podcast. Or even like a house cleaning podcast or whatever those things all require a little bit of my focus on how I need to do better how I need to be better how I should be better And that isn't what I always need, right?
That's not what I want to be filling myself with All the time it can be overwhelming. It can be daunting. It can make you feel like you're never good enough And, I'm trying to focus on my improvement areas and my relationship with the Lord in other ways, in my quiet time, my devotional and things. So I don't necessarily need that from a podcast.
So what I would tend to do is if I wasn't listening to a Christian podcast, I would jump over and listen to True Crime, right? What's, what's the natural next? Option after Christian podcast is true crime, of course because it's true, right? It's real Why would god be mad at something that's real? Um, it's educational, right?
It's training me how to make sure I don't get murdered and Make sure my kids don't get kidnapped and make sure that if my husband is secretly Super crazy and is going to kill me a night like I, I know what to do so my friends and family know how to find me and my body. I'm sorry, that went, that took a really dark twist.
But really, if we really tell ourselves, why are we listening to true crime? It's because we like the drama. It's because we like what it feeds into us. It's because it's interesting. It's because it's exciting. It's because it's scary. And we like to feel that excitement. So, when I wasn't listening to motivational, encouraging, you know, all these Christian podcasts because they started to drain on me, I was listening to Lots of True Crime.
And As exciting and thrilling and real as those stories are lots of documentaries and things like that Those things don't really fill my cup. Those things don't really Do anything for me spiritually. They're actually doing the opposite They're actually filling me with a lot of fear and a lot of subconscious anxiety and a lot of A lot of conflicting thoughts and feelings, right?
So they're not spiritually uplifting or spiritually fulfilling but I haven't really been able to find a lot of options out there that give me that drama and excitement and Information that true stuff that I want that's not true crime and not going to spiritually conflict with The Holy Spirit living in me.
So, I was like, This is it. God was like, yep, this is it. Like, I've been waiting for you to figure this out. So, that was, that was what I was called to do. Is create a space, and as soon as I realized, I was like, I know exactly what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to be stories of people's lives fully surrendered.
And, I the supernatural, miraculous, crazy things that happen to these normal average people, right? so that's where the podcast idea came from is because of my own need to Be filled with things that are not morally and spiritually conflicting but also things that are exciting and give me That in between of what i'm looking for is is it's glorifying god You It's encouraging, it's uplifting, it's not asking me to do anything more, it's not taking away from the Bible study I'm doing or the devotional I'm doing, it's simply filling my spirit and filling my cup.
So fillers are people who need to be filled. Fillers are your average person who is seeking content, seeking podcast information, stimuli in some way, or like searching, searching for what does it really look like to live fully surrendered? What does it look like to be obedient? What does it look like to be a Christian?
And then for your spillers, you have a place for people to come when these extraordinary, crazy, amazing things happen after they've said, Okay, God, I'm yours.
What, lead me, show me, tell me how to live my life to glorify you. And they start. Listening and they start being obedient and then these crazy things happen. This is a place for them to share that for them to express to other believers what it looks like in their life to be fully obedient and encourage each other in this way because I am a glass of tea half full person.
I am a very big optimist. No matter how bad it is, there is always good. There is always blessing. I've got that joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart. And ain't nobody gonna stop it. Nobody's been able to ever since I received Jesus at seven years old and was baptized in his name and I can't get rid of that joy.
No matter how bad or how hard the devil tries to attack me You will never steal my joy. You will never take it away And there are stories out there of people who have been battling in spiritual warfare with the devil and they have overcome, God has overcome through them. So. There are stories out there that need to be shared and that is what Spiritual Tea Company is for, is for all of these things.
And then if you are needing more, if you are wanting more, needing to know more, there will be resources, there will be guides, there will be links, there will be all the things for you to continue on that journey of trying to live a life more spiritually surrendered to Jesus, to the Lord. That is Spiritual Tea Company.
The podcast is a podcast. It is a podcast. It will eventually probably be a video podcast, but for right now, it's just going to be a podcast. , and you will be able to listen to these stories of these interactions in people's lives. You will be able to hear firsthand the Testimonies of true life encounters, of supernatural power, miracles, amazing things, all in this podcast, which will be called Spilling.

It is all supernatural is all things that would never happen In our own strength in our own way so first season of spilling is the supernatural and I haven't decided yet where that's going to go and what other seasons will consist of but That's what the first season is gonna be and it's gonna be really exciting and my bestie friend sister friend soul sister Stacy Will be joining me right over here on my whoa She will be joining me right over here on my other couch As we come together and share these stories and also dig into the bible So there will be spilling the supernatural which will be stories and then there will also probably be some spilling The runoff spilling the spill out of Just me coming on here to tell you how the word, how the word has been speak, the word of God has been speaking to me, , through my time with the Lord, through my relationship with God.
