    <description><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to <strong>Black Girls Need Jesus</strong>, the podcast where honest conversations meet biblical truth.</p><p></p><p>I’m <strong>Indygo “Barbee” Smith</strong>, and every week we create space to come exactly as we are—without pretending, performing, or having all the answers. Together, we’ll navigate life’s victories, disappointments, questions, healing, relationships, purpose, and identity through the unchanging love of Jesus Christ.</p><p></p><p>While this podcast is rooted in my experience as a Black woman, this space is for <strong>every woman</strong> who is searching for hope, healing, and a deeper relationship with God. No matter your background, your story, or where you are in your faith journey, you’re welcome here.</p><p></p><p>Each episode is a reminder that your past doesn’t define you, your struggles don’t disqualify you, and God’s grace is greater than anything you’ve been through. We’ll laugh together, cry together, study Scripture together, and discover what it means to live confidently in the identity God has already given us.</p><p></p><p>So grab your Bible, your journal, your favorite blanket, and come as you are.</p><p></p><p>Because no matter where you’ve been or what you’re carrying…</p><p></p><p>Jesus is enough.</p><p></p><p>Welcome home. 💖</p>]]></description>

Please be advised that you may laugh but, you may cry so, grab your Kleenex, your wine and a tub of ice cream because, IT'S ABOUT TO GET REAL! </strong>In previous episodes we spoke about how, I would eventually tell my story, well here it is ya'll. Raw and Uncut. I hope you all enjoy and take away that even though we all have a past we, can find our identity in Christ. Cast your cares on Him, for He cares for you. Episode Scripture: <strong><em>Matthew 5:16 </em></strong>. <strong><em>Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.</em></strong></p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>This episode touches on the pain of addiction and tells the testimony of Sister Lesia Dawson. " New People, Places and Things, is the way I stay sober. " she proclaims. " You spend the rest of your life in recovery, the enemy sends dreams of being in that place. addiction always kind of sticks with you but, when I wake up, I know that I am covered by God's grace and that nothing that can make me go back to that place. " <strong>Our Scripture for this episode is Proverbs 27:19 <em>As in water face reflects face, So the heart of man reflects man</em>. </strong>I pray that God restores our heart posture through these Reflections and allows us to see that greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world. Thank you for tuning in. Be Blessed.</p><ul><li>Stay tuned for next weeks episode Reflections PT.2 where we talk about " Being Patient during our waiting season. " and For More info on addiction and more of Lesia's story view Reflections Pt. 1 Uncut on our Youtube Channel. God Bless. Ciao! *</li></ul>]]></description>
