The Praise Podcast

Sara was faced with some difficult decisions and had to decide if she would step out in faith believing God would provide for her every need.  She believed and He delivered.  What an amazing God we serve. We shouldn't sit idle but keep on moving and believing in His plan for our life. 

Travis had a history of addiction, but his desire was to be able to walk away from it and draw closer to God.  In these circumstances we have to partner with God and have the courage to believe we CAN do it.  

D'vorah's story is one of hope.  It is a story of loss, finding new identity, being led by the spirit and most importantly, praying into potential.  What is it you desire for your life?  Do you pray for that?  Do you believe God will show up for you when you need it the most?

The Father showed Robin the truth of the Word at a young age.  But that was not all He had in store for her.  He gave her a passion for older adults and provided everything needed to bring truth to an elderly community.  Are we sharing the good news with others?  

Tina had a very difficult past suffering from bipolar disorder and previous trauma.  When you listen to her, you can hear her heart for Yeshua.  Despite the challenges, He never left her.  And after she repented from some things that she had done, she saw Yeshua restored her marriage and her relationship with her Savior.

Stephanie longed to be a mom.  She became pregnant with twins, but the challenges were just beginning. After her babies were born at 27 weeks, she had to surrender the outcome to the Father.  This was not an easy task, but He showed up and gave her the peace she needed to endure. Today they are 27 years old and she can see God's hand upon them.  HalleluYah.

Marty noticed one day half of his eyesight in both eyes was blurred.  What he learned from the doctors was he most likely had a stroke and part of his optic nerve was damaged.  However, the Father had different plans.  Despite the damaged nerve, his sight was restored!  Marty tells the amazing story of worshipping through music and leaning in to the Father when things get tough because His grace really is enough!

Christal was on fire for her faith and relationship with Yeshua, but her husband, who was serving in Iraq, was not interested in coming along side her.  Christal battled some challenges in her marriage for many years, uncertain of the future, until YHVH brought them into unity.  But the waiting.... How long are you willing to wait on YHVH's timing? Do you trust in His timing more than your own?

Meagan found herself speaking negative thoughts over herself.  Do we realize the power of our words?  How do we flip our mindset to be more positive and encouraging not only towards ourselves, but others?

Crystal had a troubled relationship with her daughter but YHVH had a plan.  Through tragedy and challenge, a broken family comes together with a renewed faith.  At one point, hope was almost lost... but she had a mustard seed of faith.  That is all she needed to hold on to hope.  

As a single mom, and a lifetime believer, Rebecca had the privilege of experiencing Yehovah Jireh, the God of Provision.  This is not the same as "name it, claim it".  Do we always recognize the hand of YHVH in our lives?  He desires to give good things to His children, even if it looks different than we expect.

Vern has a compelling story.  Although raised in Seventh Day Adventist church, he experienced the horrific scenario of his mother, brother, and cousin being killed by a stranger.  He fell into chronic depression and fell into alcoholism.  Thankfully, God is a redeemer.  His neighbor felt the Ruach (Holy Spirit) speak to him to share the gospel with Vern.  After that, his life forever changed.  Praise our Amazing God that He can pull us out of the depths of despair and redeem us.  Is the Holy Spirit calling you to share Truth with someone?  

Tawnee initially shares about unity in the body... but I felt the Ruach (Holy Spirit) pressing in to tell her to keep sharing.  We both were stunned what came out at after the 13:35 minute mark.  That was to be shared!!  How do we let the Father truly love us?  We must allow Him to be part of every part of our day in order to properly love God and love others.  That wholeness positions Him as KING over our lives.  That is love!!  He is WORTHY!!  HalleluYah.

Misty shares the challenging past of worrying about her brother in prison; but God... He was in all the details, redeeming a family.  Another fabulous story of perseverance and love between a brother and sister.  God's timing and way are always so much better than our own.  He can indeed create beauty from ashes.  Misty was willing to STAND for what is good.  What can we learn from her story?
