Candy Gibbs's Podcast

This week, Tiago, Missions Pastor at The Church at Bushland, joins us! Born and raised in Brazil, Tigao and his wife, Nina, followed God's call in the middle of Covid to begin the process of moving to the U.S. God miraculously opened the door for them and continues to do so time and again! You do not want to miss his story and the testimony of miracles he's encountered by trusting in and conforming to the wishes and desires of our good Father!

This month, we start a new spiritual "muscle group" and are focusing on "Godliness." The word Godliness is defined as: conforming to the wishes of God. There are few who represent this quality more than Eveline Rivers-McCoy! Countless lives have been impacted in our community because of her willingness to conform to the Lord's desires!

This week, Luke Finch,  Amarillo's former YoungLife Director, joins me as we reflect on how the Lord has used difficulty to strengthen our ability to persevere.  Hear how the Lord has continued to show Himself faithful through His obedience to trust in the midst of unknowns. We all want results 

Valerie Gooch, Executive Director of The PARC, joins me this week as we continue our series on steadfastness! Not only has she pushed through opposition and overcome obstacles of her own, but she is also equipping and teaching those she serves to do the same. Her perspective of and value for the homeless and displaced in our community is both inspiring and convicting. Valerie, my friend, you are a true testament of persistence and perseverance in every way! Don't miss this one!

These two exemplify "steadfastness" in more ways than I can say. Pastor Robert and Cristi are not strangers of overcoming obstacles. They've remained faithful in the midst of opposition, keeping their "Yes" fully intact to the Lord. Which has ultimately led to the birth of, "YES Lord" Church. They remind us that steadfastness and perseverance isn't just for us, it's for those around us - those watching and who will ultimately be impacted by our willingness to stick it out when it gets hard.

This month we pick up our series discussing "steadfastness." These two sure have had their share of opportunity to remain steadfast - that's for sure! Kreed & Kaytlen Ramsey are two of the original pioneers of 13|30 and have plowed, served, and been a part since the beginning. Kreed now serves as the Ministry Director and Kaytlen is found diligently serving in the details with grace and faithfulness. Their obedience, humility, and faith to persevere in the midst of obstacle and uncertainty is inspiring and convicting!

Join me this week as we continue on the topic of Self-Control. My good friend, Tommy Spencer shares how his life has been impacted through the discipline of self-control, specifically in the area of sabbath! Often overlooked and neglected but is a game changer in the sustainability of life, family, marriage, and ministry.

Join me as we continue this month's topic of Self-Control with Rick and Brenda Trafton! These two have had a profound impact on my life and exude the attribute of self-control so beautifully. Hear Rick and Brenda Trafton share how they've experienced both the lack of and the power of self-control in their lives!

As we continue in the series, this week we are discussing Self-Control with my dear friend, Spencer Cockrell. Self-control takes consistency, humility, and willingness to stretch yourself. There is only one Biblical form of control, and it is "self-control." It's what allows us to stay on pace with the Lord, to deny our flesh, and to remain consistent in Kingdom priorities and our pursuit of His heart. Listen and learn how to start strengthening this "muscle group!"

According to Psalm 23, the Lord has prepared a table for us. In the midst of battles, pain, questions, and right in front of our enemies, He's prepared a place and invites us to commune with Him. How often do we miss the table out of busyness, distraction, or attempt to do things in our own strength? There are only two seats at the table and we have the option to give the enemy a seat and listen to His voice, or to give The Lord His rightful place and choose to give ear to His voice! 

This message will recalibrate your perspective and encourage you to kick the seat out from under the enemy and sit across the table from your Father!
