Special guest, Curt Conn, joins Laura and Debbie as they use the R.E.A.D.S.’s Bible Study tool to look at an influential father in the Old Testament, Abraham. The text for today’s podcast is found in Genesis 11:1-19. Curt Conn is Debbie Keever’s father and is the one who first shared the R.E.A.D.S.’s Bible study tool with her years ago. If you are new to this podcast, please go back and listen to episode #92 to learn how to use this powerful tool that combines excellent study of the Bible passage, combined with hearing the Holy Spirit’s personal application as you learn to discern His voice.

Debbie shares about how she wore masks for years, trying to fit in and please others until she finally realized that she had lost who she really was. She shares in this episode the powerful “unmasking” of her identity and finding freedom in embracing who God calls her.

Is it possible to experience life in our desert seasons? Today’s episode speaks to the importance of planting seeds in places where we do not currently see life. If we look at our circumstances from a natural point of view, it is easy to think that planting seeds in dry seasons would be a waste of time, but seeing it from a Biblical perspective shows us that planting seeds in dry places works for our good and God’s glory.

Our dry seasons are places where we feel abandoned, forgotten and lonely. In these difficult seasons, we can be assured that God has provided for our every need, including protection from the enemy of our souls in these places. Join Debbie and Laura as they share a moment from the desert and Jesus’ desert season to encourage you in your challenging place.

Isaiah 58:11 reminds us that the Lord’s presence in their lives is similar to that large underground reservoir of water that is available to every believer. Why do we see such vast differences between believers in areas of the fruits of the Spirit, of answered prayer, of anointing and of intimacy with the Father? The difference comes from whether or not we are willing to really dig down deep into the reservoir of His presence.

Welcome to a new series, “Treasures in the Desert”, in the month of May! Both Laura and Debbie have spent time in deserts: Debbie visited Palm Desert in California and Laura visited Dubai, a city in the United Arab Emirates. There is a powerful parallel to be shared as we focus on Isaiah 58:11 and how each believer has the same reservoir of rivers of living water available to them. The question that needs to be asked is “why then do some believers live like they are dried up and lacking life while others are thriving?

Laura and Debbie conclude their two month long series of “Equipped” by stepping into the powerful passage of Mark 6:30-44 where Jesus feeds the 5,000.
