On the season 2 finale, we will review the season and take a peek at what's next for BTT.  Season 2 was all about how we as disciples of Christ can magnify the Lord.  I want to personally thank each of my guests for joining me this season and lending me their unique perspectives.  As we draw nearer and nearer to the day of salvation, I want to encourage you to lean into God and make a regular appointment with Him to strengthen your faith.  Thank you for tuning in each week.  I'll see you back again in season 3.

With this season almost in the bag, I have one more treat up my sleeve.  Join me as I sit down with my friend Jadyn Walker and we talk about making God bigger through the acts of praise and worship.  We discuss the similarities and differences between these two concepts and point out why they are each so crucial in the life of every Jesus follower.  It can be intimidating to learn to praise God and worship Him as He deserves, but with the help of the Holy Spirit it's not an impossible task.  I'm grateful that you have chosen to tune in again this week.

Hey friends, welcome back.  On episode 10 we are still magnifying God but this time we are discussing ways we can serve Him in faith.  I hit on some familiar verses that highlight why it's important to serve God.  Then I list some practical ways anyone can give their time and talents to glorify Him.  I even ask some of my family members how they serve God in special ways.  As always, thank you for joining us.  Praying for God's blessings over you.

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!  

If you desire to support Grace and join her in spreading the Gospel of Jesus, you can visit give.stumo.org/account/grace-patchen to do that.  Thank you for your generousity!

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.
