Listen in as we continue our discussion on magnifying the Lord.  In episode 9, we are diving into how to exalt the name of God in our most difficult days.  When the pressure is on and we feel surrounded by trials and troubles on all sides, what do we do to cling to hope.  Finding peace and comfort in the Word of God is our only choice.  I'm welcoming my husband Ronnie back today to help me, so join us as we break down some biblical insight on gaining strength in difficult circumstances.

We are continuing our journey into the exploration of Magnifying The Lord in this episode.  Today I'm sitting down with my friend Luke Ostenson, a young adult from our shared church home, to discuss what it looks like to walk out our faith in action.  I've had the privledge of watching Luke step boldly into the calling God has placed on his life and I think he's done an excellent job.  Luke walks his life of faith not only for himself but also for the improvement of those around him.  You'll love listening to this episode as much as all the earlier ones.  I pray that this season has richly blessed you so far.  Thanks once again for joining in the conversation.

Do you have a healthy prayer life?  In this episode, I sit down with my friend and co-laborer in Christ Keith Napier to talk about prayer.  In preparing for this episode, I did a bit of research...did you know the number of prayers in the bible is a whopping 650 plus with 25 of them being recorded as prayers from Jesus.  And with that many prayers you can't expect them to all be the same flavor.  There are prayers of faith, prayers of agreement, prayers of petition, prayers of thanksgiving, prayers of worship and the list goes on.  I pulled out a handful of verses that mention prayer so we can discuss the importance of a life of prayer and glean tidbits of knowledge from each one.  So sit and join us as we lean into God again this week.

Welcome to episode 6 in the Magnify The Lord series.  On this show, we discuss how you can focus in on God in His Word...the Bible.  The Bible isn't always easy to read though so extra resources can be invaluable when it comes to understanding this historical book.  You can find wisdom and knowledge within it's pages but you must take that first step of deciding to read it and it's best read front to back.  Thank you for showing up each week and I hope you find inspiration in this episode to start a new reading plan with God's Word.

In this episode, I'm joined by my friend Terri Freeman as we discuss how we Magnify The Lord when no one is watching.  Is our christian character formed in our alone time?  Are the decisions we make when no one else is watching us of any importance if no one knows?  It's the age old question, does a tree that falls in the forest make a sound when no one is around to hear it.  We think yes!  Enjoy the conversation this week and join in with the people in your life.  May you be blessed this week in your quiet time.

Join in the conversation on how to Magnify The Lord on episode 4 of Beyond The 12.  We can use our words and testimony to bring glory and attention to God and raise His standing in the lives of those around us.  My special guest on this discussion is Grace Patchen, a dynamic young woman with a heart of gold and a passion for Jesus that won't easily be quenched.  Listen in as she shares how her experience with Jesus in college has forever changed the journey of her life, and how she plans to use that to change other lives and point them toward God.  Praying blessings upon blessings for you today as you reach for a BIG God!

Join us in episode 3 as we discuss how the spiritual gifts can help us magnify the Lord.  I'll share some personal struggles I've faced that have helped me see more clearly what the Holy Spirit has for me.  As always, I'm thrilled you would choose to spend time with us here at Beyond The 12.

On this episode, we will move deeper into the topic of Magnifying the Lord.  What is your personal style of magnifying God as a unique creation of His.  Would you know already or would you need to talk to those around you to find out what you do best to make God bigger?  In this episode, I talk with my husband Ronnie about how he and I make God bigger in our own lives and a few ways that Jesus set an example for us.  Thank you for being part of the Beyond The 12 community.

On this episode of Beyond The 12, we will introduce Season 2 and the theme for this new season...Magnify the Lord!!  What does it mean to magnify something and how do we magnify the Lord?  This season will bring you new guest speakers with stories hopefully you can relate to in your own life.  If you are ready to grow in your spiritual walk with God then commit to join us each week for this next 12 episode season.  Thank you so much for being part of the Beyond The 12 community.  You are so loved!!

On this second BONUS episode, I have the privilege of sitting down to talk with my friend Kellie Brittingham and sharing that conversation with you.  Last episode, I introducted you to Keith Napier and his non profit Kingdoms United, so this is a perfect follow up because we discuss the first trip as they went on mission for Jesus to love on His people.  You will gain more insight into the inner workings of missions work and how it effects your life as an attendee.  Thank you for joining us and for your prayers for future trips.
