Are You Real | Finding Your Purpose

Today's topic is an important one for every believer. We need inner healing and deliverance through the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. How do we prepare our hearts for the inner healing and deliverance that we need? Kasey, Cher, and Ruthie Dickey explore this subject together and give their advice.

Cher begins by explaining how Bound No More Ministries started in 2021 as an outgrowth of I Will Not Keep Silent Ministries. She and her mother, Ruthie Dickey, began this ministry with a vision of mass deliverance and inner healing. Ruthie explains why our mindset needs to change regarding inner healing, what it means, and how it comes into our lives. You'll learn why forgiveness is an important first step to prepare for inner healing, and why we have to release guilt, shame, and a victim mentality as part of forgiveness. Harboring unforgiveness opens the door for demonic power, including fear and anxiety, when the Lord wants us to feel whole and at peace.

The ladies discuss the difference between inner healing and deliverance, describing inner healing as "spiritual heart surgery" because it deals with the soul and issues of the heart. There are warning signs that you are in need of inner healing that can come in the form of your spirit, relationships, and harmful patterns. Ruthie shares the steps to prepare for inner healing and deliverance and offers an admonition for listeners to consecrate themselves with humility before the Lord. Cher wraps up with a prayer to release blessings on our listeners, and Kasey explains why Luke 10:19 is our scripture to stand on today.

Daniel Montoya is a trusted real estate agent serving the Permian Basin area of Texas. He has an unwavering passion for helping his clients achieve their dreams, and he is committed to providing exceptional service. Daniel's expertise and enthusiasm in the local market ensure that he can navigate every aspect of the real estate journey with ease. This father of four uses his free time to coach youth sports, work with young entrepreneurs through Young Professional Networks, volunteer in leadership programs, and serve as a youth leader at his church. Join us to meet Daniel and hear his story!

Jon and Daniel begin by describing how a man's career and personal life are outlets for an overflow of Christ and faith. Daniel shares how he starts each day with grace and gratitude, using the 5 Fs to get his priorities straight: faith, fitness, family, finances, and fun. During the COVID pandemic, Daniel had his "pressure cooker" experience of jumping into real estate, learning a brand-new skillset, and trusting God's leading for each step of the uncertain journey. Believing that mentorship is everything to a young entrepreneur, Daniel learned from his mentors and implemented the attitude of "I'll try everything I can."

We wrap up our conversation by getting Daniel's take on his strengths, weaknesses, and what God is stirring in his soul. He shares what he aspires to do with his podcast, GameChangerZ Network, and what advice Daniel would give to his younger self. Daniel concludes by challenging us to make Philippians 4:13 real in our lives.

This conversation is a follow-up to our previous episode about setting boundaries. Within this topic, Kasey and Cher have covered some very practical topics that are relevant to everyone at some point in their lives, and they are diving deeper in discussing boundaries in today's show. Join us!

Good boundaries benefit the body, soul, and spirit, and boundaries were first established by God. The enemy and the world always seek to blur the boundary lines that God has set, but we should live to God's standards and not our own. We cannot trust ourselves to "self-regulate," but we need to align our thinking with God's and let Him renew our minds.

Kasey and Cher talk in detail about the boundaries we need concerning entertainment, sports, fitness/exercise, and sexuality within marriage. In all of these areas, our lack of boundaries will give Satan an open door for destruction and feed the spirits of darkness and depression. Is your heart a place where darkness reigns or where the Holy Spirit is welcome? When we allow modern society to "muddy the waters" of our thinking about sensitive topics like sexual molestation/predation and gender transitioning of children, we are forsaking the boundaries that God has given us for our protection. As God's children, we are never designed to function apart from the Holy Spirit, but many times we choose to live according to our own boundaries and go our own way.

In our previous episode, we discussed the importance of stewarding the relationships in our lives. Part of healthy relationships is in setting boundaries, and that's our focus for today's show. A boundary is defined as a line that marks the limits of an area or a dividing line. Boundaries aren't always easy to set and maintain, but they are important and God-ordained. Join us for the conversation with Kasey and Cher.

Most of the boundaries we set are learned through trial and error, and they are Biblical. Even Jesus set boundaries in His earthly life! Kasey and Cher discuss how a lack of boundaries can destroy your life, hurt your marriage, and negatively affect your children. In a marriage, boundaries must be established to protect mutual trust, security, and honesty. Each couple has to navigate around their unique issues and be sensitive to one another in setting boundaries that honor the needs of both husband and wife. Those in Christian ministry work usually find it difficult to set and maintain boundaries, but they are necessary. None of us are perfect in this work of setting boundaries, so when boundaries in relationships are broken, grace and open communication are essential to restore trust.

We need boundaries in our friendships, making sure to prioritize and protect our marriages, families, and relationship to God. Setting personal boundaries regarding the places we go, what we watch, and what we listen to are vital in maintaining our relationship to God. We must be careful about what we take into our minds and hearts so as not to give the enemy a foothold in our lives. Kasey and Cher wrap up today's discussion with prayers for new hope, restoration, and realignment with boundaries that set us on the path of God's direction and purpose in our lives.

Mentioned in this episode: The Secrets to Deliverance by Alexander Pagani

How are your relationships? The relationships we have with others form the backbone of our lives, both at home and at work. We talk a lot about the "Fuller Five" in our lives: faith, family, fitness, fun, and finances, and this topic of relationships fits perfectly into that structure. We are focusing the podcast on these important areas in which we all want to grow and learn more so we can properly steward the things God has placed in our lives. Today's show covers ways we can cultivate and guard our most important relationships to be better spouses, parents, friends, and coworkers. I'm excited to be joined again by Cher Butler for this conversation!

The marriage relationship is the most important one we can have in this earthly life. Kasey and Cher discuss the importance of walking with love and respect with your spouse, always looking to "outserve" each other, along with keeping an attitude of teamwork to help the family flourish and grow. Because we have a spiritual enemy who is out to destroy marriages, it's important to keep dating your spouse–always! Even for those in ministry, keeping a "family first" mentality will form a solid foundation for your life and work.

God loans our children to us, and we must have balance in our parenting techniques. We offer our kids solutions to life's challenges as they grow up, and things change drastically when they become adults. Cher describes how she and her husband are parenting through the adolescent and teenage years, and Kasey shares how she partners with God in prayer to stand on His scriptural promises in surrendering her adult children to His care–and standing on His promises.

With other family members, we have to remember that boundaries are sometimes necessary to guard our hearts and mental health from toxic relationships. In friendships, we should evaluate our inner circle and ask God, "How can I be your hands and feet to the people you've placed in my inner circle?" To have good workplace relationships, we should strive to honor each other and focus on a teamwork mindset that holds space for everyone's strengths to shine.

Are you in a time of transition? Today's show takes a closer look at how life, leadership, and ministry bring these seasons and how we can navigate them with grace and strength. Kasey Fuller is joined by Cher Butler, a ministry partner who has appeared on previous episodes of the podcast.

Cher is the president of I Will Not Keep Silent (IWNKS) Ministries, a nonprofit ministry focused on inner healing and deliverance through classes, revivals, preaching, and speaking. Cher and IWNKS have exciting upcoming classes for churches and communities in their mentoring and discipleship mission, and Cher will be joining R U Real with special series episodes and helping us with hosting duties. Welcome to Cher!

Today's discussion is about those times of transition that can be good, exciting, and challenging–all at the same time. Cher explains that a transition is simply a time of change, or realignment, and what the signs are of those transitions. God speaks through different means to give us confirmation when we walk through transitions, even though those times may feel like rejection and discomfort.

Kasey and Cher discuss some scriptural examples of people who navigated difficult transitions, like Joseph and Peter. We must realize that, within God's plan, times will come when He moves us to accomplish His purpose and will. Cher says, "The prophetic destiny of your life is still going to come to pass, even if it doesn't look the way you thought it would." Character-building events come in the seasons of transition so we can step with confidence into the places God calls us.

Welcome, Roar Nation! I'm thrilled to be back with another great guest who knows what it means to equip others to serve Christ and know their personal identity in Him. Her life and ministry revolve around the ministries of equipping and helping others find deliverance. Join us to learn more!

Jane Morin is the founder of the Jane Morin Evangelical Association, SOAR Texas Women's Events, and Bound No More, an inner healing and deliverance ministry. She is the podcast host of The Secret Place and is an award-winning author of several books. She has worked in deliverance ministry for over 20 years and is a revivalist, songwriter, and a worship artist. Jane shares her origin story of growing up in an alcoholic and abusive home that was full of dysfunction, along with the unfathomable events that culminated in her brother's death and her mother's suicide. Jane refers to that crisis as a milestone that showed her how desperately she needed Jesus in her life. Even though she was secure in Jesus, life was difficult with the baggage she carried from her past and her own 19-year abusive marriage that brought her four children. Counseling has helped her heal from those wounds and move forward in her ministry, grounding herself with the message of Joshua 1:9, her life verse.

Jane explains the dangers of a prideful heart in God's ministry, what it means to trust God with your shame and guilt, and what holds most people back from following Christ. She shares some of her milestone moments in life and ministry, why she is sure about what God has called her to be, and how God specifically called her to speak life in Odessa, Texas. Jane wraps up by explaining what advice she would give her younger self about being obedient to God. Her message to every listener is that God will use your life if you just follow Him in obedience and trust His plan for your life.

Hey, Roar Nation! I'm happy to be back with you for another episode! We are focusing on the revelation of who we are in Christ and who we are called to be in this world. This concept will change your life! Are you living as an orphan in this world or as a true Son of the King? Join us for this encouraging conversation with today's guest.

Robert Burton is the pastor of YES LORD Amarillo. He works with drug addicts and the homeless, people he calls "the least, the last, and the lost," believing God has called him to this work to share the Gospel and the love of Jesus. He's been married to his high school sweetheart for almost 30 years, and they have two daughters. His wife joins him in kingdom work, passionately teaching people about their true identity in the Lord. Robert looks for opportunities every day to tell people about their identity in Christ and break their "orphan spirit" with the Good News.

Robert tells the story of his personal orphan spirit, wrecked home life, total rejection of Jesus, and early alcohol addiction. A radical encounter with Jesus in 1997 in his early twenties turned his life around, changed his habits, cleaned up his life, and plunged him into God's Word. Becoming a father to his first daughter gave him the truest picture of God's love as a Father and propelled him forward into youth ministry, working with a rough and rowdy group of boys who needed to know God's love. Every step in Robert's journey has confirmed his identity in Christ as a son and a vessel to bring His love to others, even though he has had ups and downs as a pastor. Like all of us, he has been through ministry missteps and failures that left him broken, angry, bitter, and wounded. He shares his lessons learned about trusting God when you are crushed and broken, along with what it means to have compassion and choose forgiveness.

At the core of Robert's message and ministry is the change that Jesus brings to broken and wasted lives. He pursues the unlovable with the message of God's love as a faithful, compassionate Father. Listen in to hear the story of God's amazing work in Robert's life and ministry!
