This week, I pulled out a teaching from the archives. This is something I shared with the ONEHOP team as we were laying the foundation of the house of prayer. What did we want to pour into the foundation? What were the non-negotiables for us? I continue to ask the same kinds of questions in my classroom and family. What has the highest value? What do I want to give my time, attention and resources to? What is the legacy I want to leave? I pray this teaching will enrich and encourage you as you listen.

Everything Jesus claimed to be has been validated by His resurrection. On this episode, I share twelve ideas of what the resurrection means for you. There is quite a bit of Scripture on this episode. Get ready. :)

We have access to God, to His resources and we move His heart when we pray. Prayer changes circumstances, hearts, people, events, destinies of cities, regions and nations. Intercession is God's brilliant strategy for the Church ruling with Him in power.

Every couple longs for a thriving marriage, but no couple naturally falls into a healthy, thriving marriage. It takes work and intentionality to create a marriage full of life and love. On this episode, Kristen shares 10 qualities that are evident in healthy, thriving marriages.

"History belongs to the intercessors..." Walter Wink. Intercession changes the course of history. It impacts families, cities, nations and events. We all want to change the world and wonder how to do it. God has given us the key~ it is agreeing with the will of God to be done on the earth.

We, the body of Christ, desire to walk through the crisis in our nation according to the leading of the Spirit. On this episode, Kristen shares from Isaiah 6, the lesson Isaiah learned about putting his hope in an earthly king. Isaiah is reminded that the success of Israel has nothing to do with its leader, but the King of Heaven! God confronts Isaiah's misplaced trust in Judah's King, Uzziah.

The house of God is not a structure or an organization. Jesus is not coming back to a non-living dwelling place. He is coming back to dwell in the midst of His people because he is relational! Jesus built people. He invested and trained and communed with people. This was His legacy.

Looking at Psalm 23:6 today, David speaks with confidence of his future reality. "Surely Your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." What God has to offer is better than any other offer. God's goodness is unlike any goodness we have ever known. His love is steadfast, loyal and constant. The central theme from Genesis to Revelation is that God wants mankind to be with Him where He is. This is His desire. David has set his mind on the reality of another realm. He knew there was something more. His encounters with God in the tabernacle shifted his priority and focus. Let the words of Psalm 23 become a meditation for your prayer life.

In the midst of conflict and uncertainty, surrounded by enemies, find your table. Feed on God's faithfulness. Feed on His Word. Let nothing get in the way, no distraction, no disappointment, no obstacle. The more time you spend in God's presence, the enemies will lose their power. Feast away!

Praying for your children impacts their life deeply. On this episode,I share 6 P's to pray for your kids from God's Word. Praying Scripture breathes the presence of God into your children's hearts & lives. God's promises to you and your family are found in the Word of God. Your prayers are the greatest legacy you can leave.
