Is there something holding you back? If so, it might not be what you think it is. Whether you already know what you want in life—or you’re still looking at all the possibilities—if you’re not where you’d like to be, consider this: you may actually be trying too hard. Some of us have spent a lifetime striving to make things happen in our own strength. We wear ourselves out jockeying for position, stressing about where we’ll get the money we need, or obsessing over making relationships into what we want them to be. But God didn’t create us to carry these burdens. He’s got a better way for us—waiting on him to make a way. We have each been given a God-given purpose, dream, and destiny, but these can only come to pass through God’s strength on the inside of us—not our own efforts and will power. This episode will empower you to let go of the self-imposed pressure to make things happen in your life, learn how to wait for God’s power to work through you, and allow him to lead you into the amazing purpose, passion, and destiny he has for you.

EP 298 How to Keep Praying When Nothing Seems to Happen

In this episode, Christine Caine will empower you with the truth that, though setbacks, disappointments, and hardships are very real, you have a very real God who is still in control in the midst of them. As we experience challenges, it can be so very tempting to want to throw in the towel and give into our fears; thinking that we must be too far gone for God to reach us. But no matter what you’re facing today, you can hold onto the fact that God sees, He knows, He cares, and He’s got you. In the midst of the chaos, we get to fix our eyes on Jesus as we discover that God is still our miracle-working God who is good, does good, and has good for us on the other side of whatever challenges we are facing.

EP 297 Different Setbacks, Same God

In this episode, Christine Caine will empower you with the truth that you can choose what you focus your mind on, and encourage you to take inventory of the messages that are impacting your perspective. In order to fulfill God’s purpose for us in our generation, we have to jump on trains of thought that are going to take us to love and joy and peace and goodness and truth and beauty and grace. If you have experienced setbacks or failures or mistakes in your past, the enemy will bombard you with lies that you aren’t qualified to make a difference in this world, but in God’s Kingdom that is not true. If you are in Christ, you’re a child of God, you are beloved, and you have been given gifts and talents for the purpose of serving your generation - you can be certain of that! And you can choose to focus on that truth instead of the lies of the enemy.

EP 296 You Can Choose What You Focus On

In this episode, Christine Caine will empower you to change the world by standing in faith against injustice through persistent prayer as you witness God accomplish the impossible. We don’t fight like the rest of the world does. We fight with a more powerful weapon - on our knees in prayer!

When we cry out to God day and night in prayer, we can trust that His purposes both can and will prevail - even in the face of injustice!

EP 295 Using Prayer to Change the World

In this episode, Christine Caine will empower you to keep pressing forward when you feel like giving up. The reality is that there is an enemy that wants to deplete us of all of our strength to press on because he doesn’t want us to live out our God-given purpose. But this is not a time to pull back. This is not a time to quit. This is not a time to hide. This is a time to press on - not from a place of striving, but from a place of rest by leaning into the promises and character of God. If your God made a promise, your God will come through. You might not know how He is going to come through or when He is going to come through, but you do know that He will come through and as you continue to glorify Him by pressing on, you will see His promises and goodness come to pass in your life!
