S2E6 | Be Thou Removed

Andrew and Lauren continue the discussion on prayer from episode 10. 

We all know prayer is essential and make our attempts, but we often walk away because we run out of things to say. Do you ever feel like you prayer the same prayer repeatedly? Do you ever sit there in silence wondering if there is a better way? Join Andrew and Lauren as they discuss what works for them, what has helped their prayer lives, and scriptural guidance. 

We're trying something new on the podcast this week! A listener asked a question that we decided to answer on the podcast. Have you ever been committed to a ministry that you felt fulfilled serving in, but there was another area you began to feel a burden for? Chances are, if you are actively seeking God in prayer and fasting, you have been in this scenario. Join us today on the podcast as we talk about what to do when you feel a new burden.

Who shall be filled? According to Matthew 5:6, those who hunger and thirst after righteousness. How do you change your desires to be not of this world when you are surrounded with carnality? Putting our flesh on the altar, and consecrating ourselves through fasting. There are many benefits that come from fasting. Need an answer from God, and you don't feel like you can hear him? Fast. Need to sharpen your spiritual discernment? Fast. Need to operate in the gifts of the spirit? Fast. Struggling with low self-esteem or a crippling fear? Fast. Join us today as we dive into fasting.

Join Andrew and Lauren in a special interview with Daniel and Kalee Bernard.

We've all heard the verse often quoted "..the power of life and death is in the tongue..", but do you know the rest of that verse? It says that you will eat of the fruit you proclaim. Whatever you speak, you will experience. Mark 11:23 instructs us to speak to the mountain, and it will be cast into the sea. Whatsoever you speak, it will come to pass. Join us today for episode 6 as we discuss the power of the tongue.

Weird title, right? We recently read this quote on a memorial while visiting the city in Boston:  "When I asked my grandfather why we left the beauty of Italy, he replied, "There is bread and butter to be eaten in America.""  So much depth to a statement so simple. How applicable is this to our spiritual walk with Christ? There are times in our lives when God asks us to forsake the path laced with beauty in order to obtain spiritual nourishment. Galatians 5 states that the spirit desires what is contrary to the flesh, and the flesh desires what is contrary to the spirit. It may not make sense when God asks you to leave the beauty and splendor of your comfortable, predictable life, but there is bread and butter to be eaten. 

Perspective we all need it, but we often don't want it because it requires work. Just like the children of Israel in Exodus 14 complaining to Moses about the unknown as they ran from Pharaoh and his army. That's what fear does. It cripples us so that we lose perspective and lose sight of the God-given purpose within us. When fear gripped the hearts of the Israelites, they began to idolize the slavery the left behind in Egypt. Without perspective grounded in the truth of God's word, uncertain situations will cause you to look back to the former, predictable bondage you left behind. Listen in today as Andrew and Lauren remind you to get ahold of perspective - NO weapon formed against you will prosper.

Have you ever prayed a prayer that received no answer? The same prayer day after day... maybe even month after month? So what does God's word say about moments of silence? Join Andrew and Lauren as they dive into this topic. When God is silent, his word speaks.
