Are you ready to get back out there? Some are, some not so much. That's what we're talking about in this episode of the Past to Power Podcast. Join your co-hosts, Amy Elaine Martinez & LaTan Roland Murphy for some real talk and real answers for life.

Your past is power is the hands of a holy, loving God. We're here to encourage you to GO COURAGEOUSLY & LIVE VICTORIOUSLY!

In this episode, we’re talking about the power of the words we speak over ourselves.

IT’S NOT NATURAL, WE KNOW…

Speaking life over ourselves doesn’t always come naturally. It’s easier to say great things about others than over ourselves. In this week’s Past to Power episode Amy Elaine and LaTan have a great conversation about how to be kinder to ourselves.

Something powerful happens when we learn to speak kindly to ourselves.

Instead of feeling defeated, we become confident about who we are in Christ. Knowing our identity and agreeing with what God says about us allows us to walk out our best life. If necessary, make yourself a note and stick it on the fridge. No more comparing, complaining, and criticizing, be kind to ourselves.

WORDS LIKE HONEY

Try speaking kindly to yourself when you look in the mirror in the morning. Perhaps, you don’t know what to say. God’s Word is a great place to start if you’re at a loss for words. Pick up the Psalms to nourish your soul. Most importantly, find scriptures to refresh and renew your thoughts.

“Gracious speech is like clover honey— good taste to the soul, quick energy for the body.” Proverbs 16:24 MSG

We’d love to hear your thoughts about how to stay positive when speaking to ourselves. If possible, leave us a comment and a thumbs up on the podcast. You can hear all our previous episodes by tuning into YouTube, SoundCloud, Spotify, and Apple. Here’s a link to a recent episode with author, Janell Rardon. Grace upon grace over you.

Where is God in our suffering?

After the 2009 shootings at the YWAM campus in Denver, this question burned on the hearts of our community. Like all tragedies, those left behind are left to ponder this question. This weekend’s show features Peter Warren of YWAM !

Peter wrote his book, “When the Shooting Stopped: Where is God When We Suffer” in the wake of this tragedy and his own grief. As a leader, he needed these answers as much as those around him. This book is really “a defense of God’s character.”

Join us for some great insight from renowned author, teacher, preacher, and Jesus Freak, Peter Warren! He speaks right into the heart of the suffering we’ve experienced in the past year and we’re honored to share this interview with you!

The Grace Parade is such a beautiful picture of what God does in our lives. We can't wait to share this week's episode with you.

On today's show, we have special guest, Janell Rardon joining us. Her new book, "Stronger Every Day: 9 Tools for an Emotionally Healthy You." is a must read. Listen in and find out why.

The Power of Sharing Our Stories- speaking healing words to your future. How we can move through lives with positive assertiveness. (Pg 138- Tool 5, Stronger Every Day: 9 Tools for an Emotionally Healthy You by Janell Rardon)

Janell shares a beautiful story of moving beyond the sting of shame into the life God had designed for her.

There is freedom waiting for us on the other side of sharing our stories.

She is clothes in strength and dignity. Psalm 31:25

POWERFUL REGRET QUOTE

“Regret is a short, evocative and achingly beautiful word: an elegy to lost possibilities …To admit regret is to understand that we are fallible - that there are powers beyond us… fully experienced, it turns our eyes, attentive and alert, to a future possibly lived better than our past." ~ David Whyte, poet

Walk of shame turned into a walk of grace.

No smell of fire on you. (Daniel 3:36-37) When we turn our lives over to God, there comes a point where we are so removed from our past and our sin that others won't believe who we were because now they see WHO WE WERE MEANT TO BE IN CHRIST.

PIVOTAL POINT IN BOOK- discusses the Game of Thrones

Season 5 Finale- If you've experienced shame, it will ring a bell for you. While the LIAR calls, "shame, shame, shame...." Jesus' voice affirms your true identity in Christ, This is a powerful scene and you won't want to miss Janell's insight.

Book Recommendation from Janell:

The Soul of Shame Dr. Curt Thompson

We all have a shame attendant. We like to call him, LIAR, because that's exactly what he's does. Our enemy is hellbent on lying to us. Yet, Jesus wants to speak Truth over us because that is Who He is. The Way, The Truth, The Life!

THE GRACE PARADE

Now, God walks behind us and before us saying, “GRACE, GRACE!”

We can be stronger every day because of He who is in us. (1 John 4:4)

Look for this Affirmation in the book: Shame Shake Off-

Prayer:

Father, you are a God who sends a parade of grace before us. Thank you for making us stronger every day! Amen.

A Jesus encounter changes everything. - page 142, Stronger Every Day by Janell Rardon

We are all on a journey. Healing doesn’t happen in isolation. We need to be with one another and encourage one another.

Janell is a Life Coach, Author, and Therapist. She lives in VA with her husband. Her website is a wealth of information. We can't encourage you enough to go check it out. (You are welcome ;) )

Fire Keepers tend the fire at Amy Grant's ranch and there's a lot to learn about life on the farm in this episode. Join Amy Elaine and LaTan as we chat with Amy Grant about the art of tending the fire in our own lives.

We'll leave you with this question to ask yourself: What areas of my life need tending? The fire starts in us. When we've been a good friend to ourselves, then we can love others well. And, extend an invitation for them to come sit by the fire.

Find out what the 3 things Amy tells us to ask or pray for when you tend the fire at the farm. And, from there we moved into a beautiful conversation about reconciliation, staying connected, and learning to keep your hands on your your own wheel instead of trying to be in control of everyone else's.

All are welcome around this fire. So come, grab a cup of coffee, and pull up a chair. We'd love for you to listen in to this episode of Past to Power with Amy Elaine Martinez & LaTan Roland Murphy.

In this episode of Past to Power, Dog the Bounty Hunter and his fiancée, Francie Frane chat with us about the power of God on the road. Most assuredly, the people we meet aren't there by accident, but by divine design. Dog shares some stories of praying for the people he meets.

”God brings the people we need to accomplish His purposes.” Dog

Whether at the grocery store, the airport, or the gas station. God places people in our paths to minister to them. When we say yes to God we align ourselves with the true Power Source!

Both Francie and Dog said that what they thought would be the end was only just the beginning. When we surrender to God, He shows up and takes our pain and uses it for his purposes. Through our pain, God turns it all around and redeems our pain.

“When we’re willing to plug into the power source of Heaven, everything changes.”

~ LaTan Roland Murphy, cohost of Past to Power

Plugging into the Power Source of Heaven

There comes a point in our lives where we say, ‘enough is enough‘ and that's when God can do His best work. Knowing there's always someone else out there who has it worse than you brings us to a place of compassion for others. Many times, God uses our stories to let others know they are not alone. This is where community happens.

Join us for some great conversation with Dog & Francie in Part 2 of our interview with them.

Today's episode of Past to Power with Amy Elaine & LaTan features special guest, Tracie Miles of Proverbs 31 Ministries. We're talking about her new book, “Living Unbroken: Reclaiming Your Heart and Your Life after Divorce.”

In a recent article, Tracie wrote, ”Grief is a painful season to endure, regardless of why you are grieving, but it is necessary for the healing process to play out.” She quoted, William Cowper, an English poet and hymnodist: “Grief is itself a medicine.”

Tracie goes onto say, ”It cleanses our souls from anguish and helps us keep moving through the stages of healing our hearts need. Grief is the process God can use to help us arrive at a place of healing, wholeness and happiness.”

This is exactly the reason we invited Tracie on the show today to share her Past to Power story with you. Though it may be the hardest thing ever to stop trying to hold onto something we need to let go of, God will walk through seasons of grief with us. Part of the grieving process is acceptance which ”opens the door to move forward.”

Tracie reminds us that “the end of your marriage isn't the end of you.” Finding your identity in moments of crisis can be a turning point where you turn pain into purpose. Join us to hear Tracie's top 2 of things you need to know. In the end, there is hope. Letting go of what can't be and trusting God with your future is where healing begins. Listen in and learn how to Reclaim Your Heart and Your Life After Divorce. Living Unbroken is possible; pick up Tracie's book anywhere books are sold.

Past to Power (formerly Real Victory Radio) is here to help you GO COURAGEOUSLY and LIVE VICTORIOUSLY. Your co-hosts, Amy Elaine Martinez and LaTan Roland Murphy want you to know that your past is power in the hands of God. He turns our PAST TO POWER everyday.
