The Freebie Round-Up #145

I’ve been talking to a solo parent who hasn’t been in church for quite a while. She told me that she’s having a hard time going back because of what happened to her life. I knew her when she was a teenager and she was very active then. We talked about parenting and told her a story that is similar to her situation. That gave her encouragement to think about church again. Please pray for her as she makes her first step going back to church.

Anyways, enjoy these freebies!

(Interview) Sharmaine Saraspi of Guilt, Grace, Gratitude

You know the T-shirts, hoodies and the mugs. Now let’s get to know the person behind these merchs. Sharmaine Saraspi of Guilt, Grace, Gratitude talks about her recent merch booth over Pilgrim Theological Conference, how she started GGG, and being creative for God’s glory.

Hi Sharmaine. Saw some photos of you and your booth at the Pilgrim Theological Conference. So how was the experience being there with your merchs?

It is actually refreshing and I am truly grateful to finally set up a merch booth again after 3 years of the pandemic.

There are lots of Reformed brethren there and I think they like what you put out through Guilt, Grace, Gratitude. What’s the feeling of being recognized and being able to see folks wearing your t-shirts?

I’m actually shy because I’ve been trying to sell the merch while keeping a low profile since I started back in 2018, but I eventually made friends on social media (got exposed hahaha)  and was referred to by them, so eventually I got used to it.

Book Review: “The First Skyrider” ( H. R. Hess)

I went through the holidays reading The First Skyrider the second book of the Canellas Chronicles, written by Hannah or H. R. Hess. I finished it early January and I’m so stoked I made a review.

Right off the bat, The First Skyrider is not a sequel but a prequel. Hess steps on the breaks to go back so we can witness the story of the first sky-rider or dragon rider. Seems to be a great idea to pull off for someone who is building a series.

(Interview) March Vargas of Cherish Christ

This new year, I’ll start with March. Yes, March. March Vargas that is. This Christian content creator has videos on YouTube and Facebook that teaches biblical topics. But it’s done (sometimes) in a funny and entertaining way. If you want to know more about her, check this interview out.

Hi March. Please kindly tell us something about yourself and how you got saved?

Hi! Thanks for having me. 🙂 I was raised in a Roman Catholic family. When one of my sisters became a Christian, she shared the gospel with me and started bringing me to her local church. I was in 1st year high school back then. As I was learning more about the Bible, I was realizing more and more how I have fallen short from the standards of God. But although I was eager to start following Christ, the desires of my flesh prevailed. I loved my sins more and I couldn’t get myself to surrender my life to Him.
