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.

In today’s episode, Christine Caine will empower you to start hoping for God’s best in your life. It’s no secret that we each have had our own share of pain and discouragement over the past few years. After experiencing disappointment after disappointment in your past, it can be easy to expect the worst and can feel excruciatingly painful to give yourself over to hoping for the best. But even when it seems all hope is lost, if we place our hope in the character and heart of our faithful God, we can begin to trust that God is good and will come through for us because we know that hoping in Him does not disappoint!

Do you find yourself waiting to take the next step of faith in the journey toward your dreams because you think you’re either too much or not enough? In this episode, Christine Caine will empower you to stop waiting to be the perfect version of yourself or to have the perfect set of circumstances before you start moving toward the dream God has placed in your heart.

EP 299 Permission to Stop Waiting (Permission to Dream Series)

In this episode, Christine Caine will empower you to bring ‘it’ to God in prayer again, and again, and again - whatever ‘it’ may be for you - and trust that He will answer in His perfect time. From healing, to discernment, to salvation for a loved one, don’t let discouragement creep in simply because you haven’t seen God bring it to pass yet. If the odds seem stacked against you, remember that it’s our job to pray and it’s God’s job to perform the miracle. So let’s be resilient, persistent, and tenacious believers who don’t lose heart. Whether you’ve been praying for a long time or are just beginning, God wants you to keep talking to Him in prayer because  He loves you, cares for you, and can make a way where there's no way. If it matters to you it matters to God. Get your free Episode Reflection Guide here.

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.
