Everything in life happens FOR you and not TO you! This is a belief that Elizabeth Frazier lives by.

Her courage is to be admired and the amazing call on her life is now being echoed in the lives of so many people she is able to reach. You will see how Elizabeth has taken a life of what was and redeemed it to what God planned for her from the beginning. Elizabeth is now a loyal wife, wonderful mother, entrepreneur, motivational speaker and survivor! She is a true testament of not what happens to you but what happens through you that will determine your destiny. No matter what you are facing today, this interview will LEVEL YOU UP and give you a much deeper revelation that your past is your past at last!

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight".

"Hope Deferred makes the Heart grow weak. If you don't have hope, your Dead"

The late Myles Munroe once said, “Leaders are not measured by the medals they wear on their chest, but by the scars they have on their back”.

Like many women, my wife Teri Rogers has the scars of her past that most would be too uncomfortable to talk about. However, after many conversations behind closed doors, my wife FINALLY tells her amazing story.

In this episode, Teri Rogers opens up about her past relationship that was abusive on every level which led her to her addiction of drugs. This is sadly a much too familiar story with many people but never talked about. I hope you will listen to how God radically carried Teri through her darkest time and helped her escape a very unhealthy relationship and freed her from a drug addiction.

Teri gives a voice to so many women as she shares how she LEVELED UP to a new life and left the old one behind.  

Jerimy Kanaday is the head pastor at Christ Chapel (a non denominational church) in Spring HIll, Tennessee. I met pastor Jerimy in February 2019 and was fascinated by his understanding of the bible as well as his passion for people. I believe God is very interested in people....so much so that we died so that we can live! When I got to know pastor Jerimy I saw that he felt the same way and it has been a friendship ever since. 

When God speaks his promises, they WILL come to pass! Sometimes we take the long road but God is always drawing us back into our destiny! Just ask 5 time Grammy Nominee and 2 time Grammy winner Zach Williams.

Zach just won his 2nd Grammy this past Sunday for his song “There was Jesus” which he performed with Dolly Parton and wrote with Casey Beathard and Jonathan Smith. This song adds to his Grammy collection along with his iconic song “Chain Breaker”.  However, before the countless #1 songs, nineteen GMA Dove Awards and millions of fans and song downloads, Zach battled drugs, alcohol and a marriage that was days away from divorce.

In this episode of LEVEL UP, Zach shares everything he went through and how through it all “There was Jesus”. After listening to this episode, you will have a clear understanding why Zach Williams is not only anointed as a singer but how his trailblazing lyrics are REAL stories that he overcame. He proves that no matter where we are in life, God is constantly speaking better things in our lives and what he has for us is a far better option than where we currently are.

Zach is a true voice for his generation and you will be glad you listened to what God is doing through Zach and his musical gift! Who knows…maybe Zach will give us a LIVE sneak peek at the end!
