What do you do when God gives you a clear assignment... and everything seems to stand in your way?In this episode, Lisa unpacks Luke 9 and reveals how Jesus responded when His path was blocked, His mission was opposed, and His followers hesitated. Instead of turning back, He pivoted. Too often we mistake resistance for a sign that we missed God. But sometimes opposition isn't a stop sign... it's an invitation to trust Him more deeply.In this episode, Lisa explores:• how to recognize God's timing in every season• why opposition doesn't always mean you're on the wrong path• the difference between following Jesus and becoming like Him• what keeps us saying "but first..."• why your calling is an identity before it's a destination• how to stop looking back and move forward with confidenceIf you've been questioning your calling, feeling discouraged by setbacks, or wondering whether you've missed God's voice, this conversation will remind you that God's mission for your life is bigger than the obstacles in front of you.Sometimes the breakthrough isn't found by turning around. Sometimes it's found by learning to pivot.Stay connected: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/buFNYvv Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What if you invited Jesus into your house, but never learned how to sit at His feet?In this episode, Lisa shares a powerful invitation from the heart of God: come away with Me. Through Song of Songs, Mark 6, Luke 10, and the story of Mary and Martha, Lisa unpacks the difference between being near the presence of God and truly seeking His heart. This message is for anyone who feels busy, distracted, spiritually tired, or hungry for more than borrowed revelation.In this episode, Lisa unpacks:• why ministry should flow from the Holy of Holies, not strive to get there• the danger of living off someone else’s oil• how distraction keeps us circling instead of resting• why God is separating believers who know about Him from those who truly know Him• the power of lingering long enough for the Holy Spirit to rest upon youGod is not just inviting you to serve Him. He is inviting you to come away with Him.Stay connected: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/buFNYvv Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Not every altar looks like rebellion. Some look like comfort, success, ministry, relationships, routine, wounds, opinions, or even good things that slowly take the place of God.In this powerful message, Lisa Schwarz exposes the “other altars” we return to for identity, purpose, comfort, control, and fulfillment. Altars were meant to be places of remembrance… places where God’s people returned to remember who He is, what He promised, and who they were called to be. But when the wrong things become raised structures in our lives, they begin to demand worship, sacrifice, and agreement.Lisa challenges listeners to examine the places of divided devotion that may be watering down their worship and weakening their fire. Through Scripture, personal testimony, and bold prophetic teaching, she calls the church back to the one true altar… not just to encounter God, but to be changed by Him.In this episode, you’ll hear:• What an altar really represents in Scripture• How good things can become God replacements• Why divided devotion weakens spiritual fire• What it means to tear down high places in your life• How thoughts, emotions, fear, success, ministry, and people can become other altars• Why revival requires more than restoring God’s altar… it requires removing the ones competing with HimThis message is a call to return to first love. Not your love for God… but His love for you.The fire is not missing. The altar may just be crowded.Stay connected: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/buFNYvv Hosted on Acast.

The presence of God was never meant to stay behind the walls of the temple.From the Ark of the Covenant in the Old Testament to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the New Testament, Scripture tells one remarkable story. God has always desired to dwell with His people… and now, through Christ, His presence dwells within us.In this powerful teaching, Lisa unpacks the biblical thread of God’s glory from the temple, to Mary, to the Mount of Transfiguration, to Peter’s shadow healing the sick. What once filled a building now fills every believer who says yes to Jesus.In this episode, you’ll discover:• What the Ark of the Covenant represents today• Why the glory of God always produces transformation• The difference between the Holy Spirit living in you and the Holy Spirit moving through you• Why surrender is the doorway to experiencing more of God’s presence• How ordinary believers are called to carry the glory of God into everyday lifeGod isn’t looking for perfect people. He’s looking for surrendered people. The same presence that filled the temple… overshadowed Mary… transformed the disciples… and healed through Peter… is the very presence that now lives within you.The question isn’t whether God wants to move. The question is whether you’re willing to let Him.For the unsatisfied… there is more.Stay connected: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/buFNYvv Hosted on Acast.

"Built For The Storm" Pastor Barry Whitehead 6.28.26

What if the greatest threat to your faith isn’t opposition? What if it’s satisfaction?In this message, Lisa explores the holy desperation that marked the lives of those who encountered God. From the beloved searching through the streets in Song of Songs to Zacchaeus climbing a tree just to catch a glimpse of Jesus, Scripture reveals a pattern: those who find Him are often the ones who refuse to stop seeking.The question is not whether God is available. The question is whether we are still hungry.In this episode, Lisa unpacks:• why spiritual hunger is meant to be renewed daily• the difference between experiencing God’s presence and pursuing His heart• what desperation looked like for Zacchaeus and the beloved in Song of Songs• why yesterday’s encounter cannot sustain today’s relationship• how comfort, familiarity, and religion can quietly dull our pursuit of GodFor the unsatisfied, this is an invitation to seek again. To hunger again. To become desperate again.Stay connected: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/buFNYvv Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
