February 07, 2024 14:00 - 57 minutes - 39.2 MB

There's a fight for the deep places in the heart of the church, because if the enemy can keep you in the shallows, he wins. And sometimes we don't even recognize what the enemy looks like so we give him no opposition. What are the deep places? How can we recognize our enemy? Let's dive out into those deep places together.

Walking with God - What does it look like?

January 27, 2024 21:00 - 12 minutes - 8.82 MB

Everyone wants to know the secret to an effectual prayer life, which really is a prayer life that gets answers. We dive into that today in this episode on walking with God. We want to move from a prayer life that is all about transacting business to one that takes us into the deep places of God, and we do that in walking with Him. Walking with God truly safeguards our faith and takes us to a place where we will see the supernatural.

We are back (under a new name - Let's Go Deeper!) with the same love and passion for going deeper in the Word of God together and deeper in our walk with God.

Trust me. You need this podcast in your life. It’s like CPR for the soul. I cannot contain my excitement about this episode with my friend, Patsy Cameneti.

March 31, 2020 17:00 - 30 minutes - 21.3 MB

We are knee deep in this stay-at-home (shelter-in-place) directive in Ohio, and it's hitting us all a little differently.

Grab a cup of coffee or tea and hang out with us for a bit!

What Difference Does it Make?

December 02, 2017 05:00 - 44 minutes - 20.4 MB

What difference does it make? It's a question we usually ask when we're frustrated. When what we're doing isn't working or when we're thinking of making and change and trying to see if it'll be worth it. Will it make a difference? It's also a question the people around us are asking about God in our lives. Has God made a difference in their lives since they've come to know Him or are they just the same? Knowing God is supposed to make a difference in what we think and say and do. Listen as ...

September 21, 2017 04:00 - 15 minutes - 6.96 MB

Be Like Mary - Called to Carry

June 07, 2017 04:00 - 42 minutes - 19.3 MB

Mary Did You Know? It's one of my favorite Christmas songs, but it's a question that begs an answer. She carried the Son of God for 9 months. Did she really know who she was carrying? Do we? We, like Mary, are carriers of the Son of God, the Holy Spirit, the Power of God. What would life look like if we REALLY knew who/what we carried inside of us?

Stay Connected to the Power Source

May 04, 2017 04:00 - 37 minutes - 17.1 MB

As I look around, I see so many falling short of what God has called them to be - miracle workers. Overcomers in Him. More than conquerors. Carriers of His glory. Why? Because we don't stay connected to the power source. In this message, you will be inspired to stay connected to power, why we need to, and practical ways to make it happen.

Send the Rain Session #1 - Spirit Fed Prayer

September 20, 2016 04:00 - 1 hour - 28.1 MB

Culture can only reign when the church does not. God has given authority to the church to pray. To speak. To declare His will on this earth, and in this seminar we take an in depth look at what it looks like to reign in this life through prayer. Jesus said if we are thirsty to come to Him and drink and THEN rivers of living water would flow from us. Before we can give anything out, we must first take Him in.

September 20, 2016 04:00 - 53 minutes - 24.5 MB

And in this session we go over exactly how to do that. Are you ready to pray into your future? Let's do it.

Send the Rain Session #4 - Our Position in Prayer and Q&A

September 20, 2016 04:00 - 57 minutes - 26.6 MB

It's a Generation Thing

September 20, 2016 04:00 - 52 minutes - 23.9 MB

Generations. Generation X. Millenials. Baby Boomers. So many generations. Which is the most important generation? The answer is - all of them. There wasn't a generation missing in the first coming of Christ. Every generation played a vital role the first time around. Well, I have some news for all of us. Jesus is coming again, and it's time for every generation to take its place to help usher His presence into this earth again. What part are you supposed to play?

What If We Really Knew God?

July 01, 2016 04:00 - 37 minutes - 17.2 MB

What would it look like to lay hands on the sick and watch them recover? What does really knowing God have to do with all of this? Check out this podcast to find out.

Make a Whip

July 01, 2016 04:00 - 37 minutes - 17.3 MB

I love the story of when Jesus sat down, gathered His materials, and on purpose made a whip to drive out of the temple what didn't belong there. We are now the temple of God, and there are things in our lives that don't belong there. Only now we use our words to drive them out.

December 14, 2015 05:00 - 38 minutes - 17.6 MB

The Christmas Story - The Prequel

December 09, 2015 05:00 - 47 minutes - 21.9 MB

December 09, 2015 05:00 - 46 minutes - 21.1 MB

Limitless

December 09, 2015 05:00 - 53 minutes - 24.6 MB

We live within limits. My checkbook has a limit. My energy has a limit. My car has a limit of how far it can go on one tank. It's hard to imagine life without limits, but that's the realm our God lives in. His power is limitless. His ability is limitless. What He can and will do for us knows no bounds. Let this inspired your faith today about what God is doing for you right now. There are no limits to His miracles.

What's Your Something?

November 20, 2015 05:00 - 32 minutes - 15 MB

We all have a purpose. A dream. A something. There's something each one of us can do to make an impact and change the world around us. Sometimes we can't see it. Sometimes it seems hidden. Sometimes what's in our hand to do seems so small and insignificant we dismiss it. But everything we do has value and can make a difference. What's Your Something?

August 19, 2015 04:00 - 51 minutes - 23.4 MB

In this message we'll see how we can walk free from the unrest causing insecurities that try to plague our lives and find real rest for our souls.

Can These Bones Live?

August 19, 2015 04:00 - 38 minutes - 17.8 MB

Hope drives prayer. And much of the church has lost hope where it comes to praying for our nation. We can't see HOW it can change, so instead of praying in faith we shrink back in fear. In Can These Bones Live? we look at fear, faith and what God has called the church to do in these last days.

Jesus our Example: Humility

August 12, 2015 04:00 - 45 minutes - 21 MB

Walk Work Watch

July 23, 2015 04:00 - 43 minutes - 20.2 MB

I love Matthew 11:28-30. Come to me if you're weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest. The Message says, "Walk with Me, work with Me, watch how I do it." So, since I've been on a quest for rest, I took that to heart. In Walk Work Watch, we take a look at this and see what that means for our lives, for our rest, for our peace. Jesus was an amazing example.
