Our culture today normalizes mental illness instead of trying to help people be healed and free from it. It’s despicable how people are now more interested in the destruction of society for their own gain.… More
What Pregnancy Centers Actually Do
This Monday instead of sharing my next episode for Christ & Culture I am sharing a video that I just made giving real facts about what the pregnancy center I volunteer for actually does. From my research, this is what a lot of pregnancy centers do around the country. Many people are not fully informed on what it is that we do and therefore there is a lot of misinformation that create confusion and fear in women and men. Unfortunately many who need what these centers offer don’t reach out it because of being told false information about how we operate. The good news is the community that my center is in is starting to understand what it is that we actually do because of us reaching out to the community and educating people on what we do. The growing interest to get involved is inspirational and now more referrals being made to our center. Knowledge is truly power so please share it with others. You never know who it may come by that really needs to hear it! Click the image to watch below!
The Culture & Christ Series will return next Monday!
Season 2 Episode 5 |Think Woman Think #prochoices
What if we were honest with each other? Woman to woman? How much would our lives be better would have changed. In today’s episode we are going to talk about the life choices of a woman. I find all too often that those who call themselves pro choice hate it when you tell woman to make better choices. But I don’t hate you ladies, I love you so I’m going to be sharing with you how to make better life choices from your youth and at any moment during your life.

Season 2 Episode 4 | Love is Not Love
In these times there are many sayings that are becoming popular even among so called Christians and this one is one of the worst of them. Back in 2018 I watched as independent journalist interview people on the streets of L.A about what they mean by the phrase love is love” and I was shocked to hear some of the responses. Some of it was down right up the alley of child predatory ideology. As each person or couple answered it became clear to me that this phrase is very much meant to devalue real love and how we are to operate in it. So in today’s episode I talk about why it’s important for us as Christians to go only off the Bible’s truth of love and how sometimes that phrase also is just another way to hide our sin and get others to agree with it. This is from a biblical perspective!
Season 2 Episode 4 Calling The Zygote
I hope everyone had an awesome Independence/ 4th of July last Monday! I don’t care what anyone says, I’m proud to be free and bleed red, white and blue! My prayers and thoughts are with every baby that may not know that freedom from no choice of their own! And I am hoping that Kentuckians will rise above the injustices. win the battles of inequities and when the war of hatred here in this state so that we can be a beacon of hope and a safe place for every human life!
Episode 3 is now up on Rumble and anchor. I discuss: does life begins at first breath, conception or even before that? Let’s talk about what the Bible actually says about when life begins.

Season 2 Episode 2 | One Church One Race
A new day brings new Joy! I’m sure you all know by now that Roe v Wade has been overturned! Let us celebrate but also remember that there is still more work to do in our communities. If anything we need more people to spread the truth of the dangers of abortion and the abundance that comes with choosing life for their children!
In today’s episode I am talking about what it means to be the true church and why we need to leave behind our denominational beliefs and live in faith on biblical truth only. We touch base on the first part or race in this season and we talk more about it later in the podcast. There is a trend concerning race I’m un happy about. Despite many efforts from the Christian community and conservatives to be color blind, people are allowing their race to be the forefront of their identity.

Introducing Season 2 | Christ & Culture
For those of you who were listening in on my podcast waiting for the next season, I’m the worst I know! I left you guys hanging and I apologize. But I’ve had a lot on my plate but as always I come back whenever the Spirit wills me. I have been done , filming and schedule out episodes for this season. The first episode just came out today! I’m super excited to share with you what I have been working on. I found a way to record and film at the same time so now you can listen in or watch every Monday at 10:00am. This season I am diving even deeper into topics concerning some things in culture I was not ready to speak on in the last episodes. I am stepping out in the strength of God to just be real and honest concerning these realities of what we are going through in the current culture. The first two episodes alone were a big step for me. People need to know that God is a real God. My constant hope for my ministry is that I may be witness to you that God is not afraid of your imperfections. That He is faithful to those who choose him, those who love them He draws near to.
There will be 8 episodes this season! here’s the list of topics:

The Work & The War Of My Time
Well I have some exciting news to share! I have began to work with an organization called CareNet Pregnancy Services here in Kentucky. When I was pregnant with Victoria I had this growing hunger to get more involved with the pro life movement. That was God sowing in my heart desires I never thought I would want. After all, It was only a few years ago I was pro choice myself even while being Christian because of not knowing the fullness of what abortion was. I have been mentoring women in crises pregnancies for almost two months now! This was something I went fuller into detail on my channel on Rumble. I was honored to attend their banquet earlier this month for their ultrasound machine fundraising and I got to all about their efforts and future plans for the organization. God is truly doing amazing work through them.
Today I spoke for the first time at a church who humbly invited volunteers of CareNet to speak for their baby bottle campaign they are doing here in Northern Kentucky. I want to share with you my speech so you can see a small bit of the work CareNet does and also my heart concerning these things. Often I have say this will be the work of my time and the war I will happily fight. We are living in an historical moment no matter where your stance is on abortion and I hope that WordPress does not hinder me from continuing to speak freely on this issue. I say that because I have been censored and targeted by certain social media companies. I aim to only share my work and not to harass anyone. I hope this speech blesses you!
Good morning! I wanted to first say thank you for having me! I’m so very grateful for the opportunity to speak to you on behalf of CareNet Pregnancy Centers of Northern Kentucky
My name is Johnnatta Giles, I’m a mom of 5 and I’ve been married to my husband James Giles for almost 10 years now. I serve as a volunteer mentor to women in crisis pregnancies at CareNet Pregnancy Services in Williamstown Kentucky. I want to tell you a little about me. My mother was an addict. Yet she gave me life. When I was 3, I was put into foster care because of her neglect due to her illnesses and later adopted out of the foster care system.
I am grateful everyday that she let me go so I could one day grow up and make a life for myself. Many women face hopelessness like my mother and what I do is carry my story and give them what my mother never had. Not only do we encourage women to choose life, but we help them live abundantly. It is a humbling honor to serve them.
The lives of more than 2,300 precious babies hang in the balance every day because women and men facing an unintended pregnancy think abortion is their best option. The pro-abortion culture denies the sanctity of life and works hard to normalize abortion. They promise abortion is “safe and easy.” But in reality there is no such thing as a safe abortion. The method they push the hardest is also the easiest to get—the abortion pill.
In 2020, the abortion pill accounted for nearly 54% of all abortions. The FDA allows abortion pills to be shipped straight to home addresses in states where it’s legal. They don’t even require a physical exam, let alone that a doctor be present during the abortion. That puts women at risk.
Not long ago, a young woman who thought she was only a few weeks pregnant came to Care Net. The abortion pill is aggressively targeted to women like her—those thinking about abortion and no more than 10 weeks’ pregnant.
We thank God that she came to Care Net for an ultrasound—she was actually almost four months along.
Women and their partners need to know the truth about the humanity of their babies. They deserve to know the truth about abortion. Our greatest tool to change the mind of a mother or father at risk for abortion is the ultrasound.
Ultrasounds not only date the gestational age of the pregnancy; it also confirms the unmistakable proof of human life. Since we began offering ultrasounds in 2006, more than 1,351 babies have been saved—208 last year alone. We’re able to offer more than 100 ultrasound appointments every month. Calls to our helpline are answered live by our staff 24 hours a day.
All three of our locations—in Florence, Cold Spring and Williamstown—offer pregnancy tests, ultrasounds and education on all of their options. We follow up with material help and mentoring by trained volunteers in 21 educational programs. Last year moms and dads who desired to become great parents attended more than 2,000 parenting and education classes. Some of them break generations of poor parenting and lead their young families in entirely new, healthy directions. Glory to God!
All these life-changing services are free because people like you support pro-life efforts like the baby bottle campaign your church is participating in now.
To fight the abortion industry head-on in the marketplace, we have begun buying online advertising. Our ads are reaching more abortion-minded clients than ever, and still over 87% who see their babies by ultrasound choose life. We thank God for this success and are expanding our medical staff so more babies can be saved.
The Supreme Court could very soon rule on Roe v. Wade. This ruling could give the states back their authority to regulate abortion. Right now there are already states that can abort a child up to 9 months. The fight to save these babies’ lives and give their mothers and fathers hope will only increase.
Pregnancy centers are being targeted and vandalized ever since the supreme court draft leak. We need the support of Christian communities and churches as we continue the work that God has called us to. Saving lives. Women could potentially run from state to state to access abortion but also order the abortion pill online putting them in even more danger than ever before. We must be ready to help these women and we ask you to help us be ready!
Please pick up a baby bottle today and fill it with coins, bills or checks. Use it to start pro-life discussions with your children, too. Then return your bottles to church on your collection day. You can also give online at carenetnky.org.
As more clients come, we also need more volunteer advocates and mentors. In each bottle is a card you can return to let us know if you’d like to volunteer. If you own a business and want to stand for life by sponsoring an event, please let us know!
On behalf of Care Net’s board, staff and volunteers, and especially on behalf of those we serve, thank you for participating in this Baby Bottle Campaign. We are deeply grateful for your support. Thank you, and God bless you!
I Know How Hard You Try, Happy Mother’s Day
Dear Mama,
Mother’s day is the time we celebrate you. Every year you are showered with love and gifts and I wonder if you need more than just one day to be appreciated. Maybe more phone calls are your wish? Or a unexpected helping hand? Or just a chat with tea? No gift can be greater than the presences of your once tiny sweeties. My little’s are still little. They shower me with kisses and brighten my days with smiles I don’t always have to ask for. They run up to hug me out of the sheer joy of being with me. And even when I mess up, tomorrow they still love me. But some of your littles are now grown and away. On holidays you wait eagerly to see their faces. And your heart flips with joy when they receive the peck on the cheek that you’ve been waiting to give for a year long. I see you mama. I see you in every woman that I stop to chat with when she just needs an ear to hear her and a young girl to teach. Sometimes she’s she so worn out after her family has come down for just one night to enjoy her gift of making everything marvelous. After a full day she is left to clean up the mess in a once again empty home.
My heart goes out to you. I pray your children in righteousness return, just to give you a deep warm hug and sing thank you and serve you for once. I want you to know that there is a God who sees you everyday. You’ll never go unnoticed. And beautiful woman you are NEVER really alone. I heard Him once say “I see you and I know how hard you try.” He knows you too even your days that have not come and the ones that have gone by. Just know that in Him you can have rest and true appreciation. I hear you and see you all the time and if we ever meet I hope to bless you so you know that you are loved, seen, heard and known.
Have a Wonderful Mother’s Day

Prayer & Message For Those Who May Be Suffering Alone
I hope your new year has been a whole lot better than the previous year has been. Many things are happening in our society and I feel led to speak on some of those things through the Holy Spirit in me.

Loving all of Me
Not too long ago I turned 33. WHOO HOO! I spent my time reflecting, breathing and being alone with my family in my favorite place, Gatlinburg Tennessee. Today I found this draft that I started a year ago but it never was finished. But sometimes it’s just not the right time. Today I finished it and I want to share it with you.
Loving All Of Me
The night has ended and as I go about my routine getting ready for bed and doing last minute chores the silence of the night has got me thinking. In the middle of a conversation with the Lord while hanging up my clothes, in my thoughts a truth has surfaced that I never really realized until that night. I have only been on this self love journey for two weeks now but man is the Lord doing a great work in me. Sometimes the discovery of these truth inside of me bring joy and more acceptance of who I really am and other times they reveal confusing sad realities.
When I was younger I struggled with anxiety and depression because of the constant abuse. Sometimes the way I would get through those episodes I would say “I am Beautiful.” I thought if I believed I was beautiful I could love myself even though no one else did. I learned at an earlier age that words were powerful. This was my way of attempting to instill something better in myself than I was getting from those in my household. But sometimes words are just words. Without the right heart they float out empty and void. Blowing to the wind and never giving life nor darkness. For how I can believe I am beautiful but not love myself? How is it that a women can undeniable believe that she is beautiful, inside and out, but hate herself at the same time?
I stop for a second. Not sure I even know this answer as I am writing it but trusting that the Holy Spirit will give me the wisdom to my sad reality. The answers points back to the why that explains the how. Why do we believe that beauty brings self acceptance and love? Because the world tells us it does from the moment we are young. How many of us dive for the new make up trends, the new way to dress, the new way to act or carry ourselves to make us believe “I love me.”. Oh yes girl I believe it! Look at how much I love me! How many of us buy the clothes that gives pieces of our bodies away in an attempt to outwardly say I am proud of my body so I am going to show it. If you got, flaunt it!
When we have done all we can to convince ourselves that we are beautiful and those things become to us what self love is, it’s just another way of hiding the fact that both inwardly and outwardly when we truly look at ourselves we do not love what we see.
Let’s stop trying to love ourselves and start doing it. Ready set break it. Break the lies, break the masks, break through the mold that you have created and let yourself stand before God, naked and true. All that you are. And He will come by and see you there, cover you with cloth, feed you with truth and then one day, you will be able to stand and to be clothed in splendor. I’m ready for that, are you?
And when I passed by you and saw you struggling in your own blood, I said to you, ‘Live!” Yes, I said to you in your blood, “Live!” I made you thrive like a plant in the field; and you grew, matured and became very beautiful. Your breast were formed and bare. When I passed by you again and looked upon you, indeed your time was the time of love, so I spread my wings over you and covered your nakedness. Yes I swore an oath to you and entered into a covenant with you and you became Mine says The Lord God. Then I washed you in water, yes, I thoroughly washed off your blood and I anointed you with oil. I clothed you in embroidered cloth and gave you sandals of badger skin. I clothed you in fine linen and covered you in silk. I adorned you with ornaments, put bracelets on your wrists, and a chain on your neck. And I put a jewel in your nose, earrings in your ears and a beautiful crown on your head. Thus you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was of fine linen, silk, and embordered cloth. You ate pastry of fine flour, honey and oil. You were exceedingly beautiful and succeeded to royalty.
Ezekiel 16:6-13
Our self love journey starts with self acceptance not self worship. When we really face all that we are He will be there to build is back up again. From the inside out. This is my current reality. Something I am now facing but not sure when I will be able to truly say “I love me.” This is my season. To accept all of me so one day I can become the best in me.
Love Johnnatta
