Only God could orchestrate this Christian baptism ceremony celebrating repentance and forgiveness on the most Holy day of the Jewish calendar, Yom Kippur, The Day of Atonement!! Join Melinda, and these fellow believers as she explains the revelation God showed her about this beautiful day and the ultimate gift of forgiveness by the blood of Jesus Christ.

In this episode of Faith in the valley, Melinda and George remind us that our relationship with Jesus Christ is not the church’s responsibility, but rather we are the church! It’s our responsibility to be intimately and daily in God‘s word seeking His face and learning His truth so that we can go out as the Church, empowered to do the assignment that Christ has called us to for such a time as this. Be encouraged.  Know that God sees you. Know that He loves you so much that Christ gave His life for you and that following Him will be the greatest adventure of your life! It’s never too late and we bless you to begin your deeper walk with Jesus today.

We humbly welcome each of you to join us as we celebrate Faith in the Valley’s first baptism!! It’s hard to capture in words what this day meant to me. Not only did I get to baptize a dear friend and one of our podcast guests, Molly, but then my two sons asked my husband and I to baptize them in the river as well, both professing that they too have chosen to make Christ their own. I pray this segment of the event blesses you to also experience the purity, beauty and truth that we all felt that day, what only Jesus could provide. Matthew 28:19  Go therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit. We are all called.

In this episode of Faith in the valley Melinda and George revisit the topic of spiritual warfare. Melinda vulnerably shares a recent and unexpected enemy attack from a spirit of despair, discouragement and weariness. But as always, Holy Spirit shows up and takes over, reminding us all of the power in the blood of Jesus Christ to overcome EVERY scheme of the enemy. This episode is packed with encouragement, scripture truth, and real strategies to overcome in the name of Jesus. Stand on the word of God. Stand firm. Spend time with Jesus. Repent from your sin. Recognize the enemy attacks in your life. Rebuke those attacks in JESUS name. And begin to walk in greater VICTORY! 

This episode is packed with gems of wisdom from Holy Spirit to encourage you and remind you that you are victorious in Christ always! What would appear to be a casual conversation goes from one Kingdom promise to another from our very intentional and loving, Heavenly Father. This Father’s Day remember that you are a child of the most high God, and because of the blood of Christ, you have been called a co-air with Him to the throne of heaven! Jesus calls you holy and righteous and redeemed by HIS blood. And it’s not just for the next life… It’s for this life! It’s for today! God has plans and blessings for you to live out this very day! Be intentional! Rehearse your victory through every trial, knowing that you are praying and living FROM Victory!! You are not begging for victory. You are not a beggar! You are the bride of Christ, according to His good word. Hallelujah!!! Get back to spending time with Him. Hear His voice and obey His commands. Read His Word, out loud, daily, and remind yourself and the devil exactly who your God is and what HE has promised you.

In this episode of Faith in the Valley, Melinda Isley sits down once again with her brother in Christ, George Scott of Scott Studio. As they allow the Holy Spirit to lead their conversation the discussion quickly unfolds into a powerful reminder that God is not looking for perfection — He is looking for surrendered hearts that are willing to trust Him fully.Melinda and George highlight the importance of humbling ourselves before the Lord so that He can shape, guide, and use us for His purpose. And of course, we know that it is also always for our good. They recall great examples in the Bible from Queen Esther’s brave obedience to the Israelite’s delayed journey through the wilderness, pointing back to one central truth: God desires obedience rooted in love, trust, and dependence on Him. This episode encourages believers to stop striving in their own strength and instead allow God’s perfect will to lead every area of life.

In this Part 2 conversation Melinda Isley welcomes back dear brother in Christ Allen W. Brown from IGIT TV for a heartfelt and Holy Spirit-led discussion about what God is doing in these last hours through His people.After first meeting at a music event, Melinda and Allen formed a Kingdom connection centered on one mission — glorifying Jesus Christ and encouraging the Body of Christ to rise up in unity, surrender, trust, and bold faith.In this episode, Allen and Melinda share powerful insight into the great harvest unfolding in these last days and how God is preparing His end-time army to go wherever He calls. As believers cry out, “Send me God, I’ll go,” we are reminded that ministry is not about personal agendas, titles, or control — it’s about surrendering fully so God can move in His perfect will and glory.Together they discuss:- Revival and the outpouring of Holy Spirit- Unity in the Body of Christ- Kingdom leadership in ministry, business, and the church- Letting go of control and allowing God to lead- Discovering your God-given calling and purpose- Why you are NOT too late, too old, too young, too small, too broke, or too busy to serve God- Encouragement for believers stepping into ministry for the first timeThis episode is a reminder that every believer has a calling and a purpose in the Kingdom of God. You do not need to have everything figured out before saying “yes” to Jesus. God is looking for willing hearts surrendered to Him.As Scripture says in 2 Corinthians 4:7, we are “treasures in jars of clay.” You may feel ordinary, broken, or empty — but when your life is filled with Jesus Christ, you carry the treasure of Heaven inside of you to pour out into the world.If you have not yet made Jesus the Lord of your life, today is the day. Run to Him. Surrender to Him. Don’t look back. Jesus Christ has come to set the captives free, and He is calling you into something greater than you could ever imagine.
