When the trauma and pain others have that they aren’t deal with affects us, it gets really hard. We want to just check out or leave or not continue that relationship. This is how divorce and broken families happens. But what about what God can do? How do we allow God to move in dry and hard ground where there isn’t permission by the person? For example, a spouse who is not a believer and continues to struggle with addiction, abusive language and heart towards others? People may or not be aware of the harm they are causing. Some of the harm may be name calling, belittling, impatience, passive aggressiveness, gaslighting, ignoring, and more. In this episode, you will hear how God can bring us and our loved ones into awareness of that which we are avoiding or unaware of. He is the God of the impossible. And that what we don’t love, we won’t have authority over.

“Jesus said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.’” Matthew 28:18

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” ~Ephesians 6:12

“Under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and rampart.” ~Psalms 91:4

Have you felt hardships holding you back to move forward? Are you wanting to move forward with what God has for you? God isn’t a cosmic coke machine! Too many of us settle for the mediocre when God desires for us to live a life greater than we could ever imagine. Pastor Tyler Feller shares his childhood story of being inspired by a teacher mistakenly calling him “preacher”, and his love of God brought him to learn the Truths of God’s kingdom. This interview is engaging and inspiring. You will hear Tyler talk about how we need to honor people where they could become, get on God’s frequency, experience thrills of victory in the midst of defeat, and get away from co-dependency of the “thing” instead of God. We have spiritual blind spots and we need to be with people we can be vulnerable with so they can come out. God hasn’t given up on you or the dream He has placed in your heart. You shouldn’t either. Tyler wrote a book called “Don’t Stop” along with is 365 motivating devotions. If you are looking for encouragement, this interview is for you!

“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.” ~Ephesians 3:20

Do you feel like you have big emotions and can’t control them? Or you have people around you who continue to have big emotions and make unhealthy choices with them? We can speak all you we but if our heart is impure and defiled, what comes out of it won’t be good. We can get stuck in bitterness, fear, anger or unforgiveness and have spiritual blindness that we don’t want. The fruit that grows is more important that what is said. Jesus wants us to live with joy, vitality, peace and with a pure and holy heart. Hear this inspiring episode about Mark 7 and how our hearts have more impact on the fruit in our life.

“A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” Luke 6:45

“‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.’ You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions.” ~Mark 7:6-8

Do you know where God wants you to transform culture? Do you know where your place is in the Kingdom of God? Jesus is about bringing heavenly culture to the earth, teaching us how to live and create His culture. Luke Askew is a Kingdom Coach from England. He grew up doing this his way and struggled with anxiety and depression. He came to the end of his own will and path. He found himself shouting to a God that he didn’t believe in. He had great parents with good morals, but did not know God or who Jesus was. In this episode, you will hear Luke’s testimony and what God has shown him about God’s Kingdom culture to do the work God has called us to. The kingdom of God is within each one of us and we need to all discover what God is doing inside each one of us. The only way we can get to the promise is to go through the field of field and gain a great revelation of God in each of it. Come and be inspired to continue through the fear to do it anyway because of God in each of us.

“Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails.” ~Proverbs 19:21

Have you been getting distracted lately? Do you feel like God’s voice has been muffled a bit? In this political season, it can be hard to feel like you hear clearly from the Lord. There are so many stories that can get our attention and we can be sucked into the news and stay there. It’s not that these stories or the news are bad, but what stirs in our heart and mind afterwards can be. How can we identify if we are getting too distracted, and what can we do about this? In this episode, you will hear how we can beat distraction, even with a lot of noise in our world right now.

“Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.” ~John 2:15-17

Do you wonder how some people seem to do “authenticity” so well? Or they just seem so confident and sure of themselves but it’s not fake?

Heidi is a Certified Daring Way Facilitator and teaches groups like Daring Greatly and today you will get a little piece of this work. It's world changing and head tipping. Why does vulnerability make you authentic? Because Jesus was authentic. Jesus cried, wept, was angry and had compassion. He was real. And sometimes we need to little help to get there ourselves.

Have you felt judged by other Christians? Have you secretly judged others for their choices or even how they look? Adele Vrey had her first experience of God during an abortion and was apart of the Satanic Church. She now loves other Satanists into the arms of God. God is not intimidated by our circumstances, secrets and sins. In this episode, you will hear Adele share the testimony of Riaan Sweigalaar, the ex-leader of the Satanic Church of South Africa. She was the person who loved him even through his hate for her and simply asked him to coffee. Riaan eventually radically experienced the love of God and gave his life to Jesus. He, along with Adele, have received many threats and judgements from other Christians. This episode may stir a lot of emotions and also to help us all grow in our love for others, no matter what they look like, or what they wear. People’s choices are not bigger than God’s love.

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” ~Matthew 7:1-2

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” ~John 3:16
