• Healing Past Wounds for More Freedom :: Jennifer Barnett [Summer of Mentorship wk 4]

  There is often a disconnect from what we read in scripture and how we experience life. God says, “I have not given you a spirit of fear,” but we keenly feel fear and anxiety. We know that God has saved our souls through Christ's death and resurrection, but we still feel like past wounds/choices/lies come between us and hearing His voice.  One powerful way to work towards freedom in these areas is through a biblically-based program of inner healing prayer. My guest Jennifer Barnett of Freedom Prayer joins me to talk about inner healing prayer or freedom prayer, a powerful process that helps restore individuals to a more fruitful and fulfilling walk with God. “Inner healing prayer is its own sort of type of prayer. If you're not familiar with it, we would say it's some really intentional time devoted to allowing God to remove anything that would hinder someone from a full abiding relationship with him. That could look like sin, wounding, ungodly beliefs, or lies that we believe about ourselves, God or other people.” My experience with inner healing prayer has been so powerful and I believe it can be for you too.

• Learning to Listen to God's Voice :: Kelsey Phillips [Summer of Mentorship wk 3]

  A few years ago, my friend Kelsey Philips hit a crisis in her life. She felt physically unwell, depressed and desperate for healing. She connected with a missionary couple from her church who prayed with her and over her for two hours. It was in that prayer time that Kelsey recognized God’s voice for the first time. “He had been speaking to me for a long time. I just didn't know it was him. When you have an encounter like that, he speaks to these places that are so deep. He is healing wounds that are so far back and he is breaking you free of chains that are so heavy and hard and real. You don't ever want to go back to a place where you don't have that.” I believe we can hear God’s voice and that he is still speaking today. As Kelsey reminds us, there’s no better time than now to practice listening to the Lord.  “It does require solitude and quiet and that is not our nature. But here we are in a season where we are in worldwide rest. We are forced into this place of quiet. We've all had to come off of the hamster wheel and this has been an incredible time to allow space to listen to him about what he's doing on so many levels.” *this episode originally aired in March of 2020 Summer of Mentorship Discussion questions PDF  Links Mentioned:   Novo Missions [WEBSITE] Listening Prayer [ARTICLE]  Where to Start in Listening Prayer–Friendship Questions [PDF] Hello Mornings [WEBSITE] Additional Resources: Hearing God:  Developing a Conversational Relationship with God by Dallas Willard The Joy of Listening to God:  Hearing the Many Ways God Speaks to Us by Joyce Huggett Whispers:  How to Hear the Voice of God  by Mark Batterson  Group Discussion Questions: Take a few moments to check in with your group.

  We know that God’s word is living and active. Today’s guest Jodie Berndt takes us through using Bible verses as prayers that can powerfully influence your children’s lives.  There is so much encouragement in this episode for standing on the truth of God’s word and relying on scripture to help shape your children, teens and adult children.

There isn’t a need we’ll face in parenting that God hasn’t provided for in his word.

• How Holiness Helps Mothers :: Jackie Hill Perry [Summer of Mentorship--wk 1]

  If God is holy, then He can’t sin. If God can’t sin, then He can’t sin against you. If He can’t sin against you, shouldn’t that make Him the most trustworthy being there is? I’m thrilled to have Jackie Hill Perry back on the podcast to share about her much anticipated book, “Holier Than Thou”. She walks us through Scripture, shaking the dust off of “holy” as we’ve come to know it and revealing it for what it really is: good news. As it turns out, God being “holier than thou” is actually the best news in the world, and it’s the key to trusting Him. “Holiness is really abstract, but what does it have to do with me? The truth is it has everything to do with the way we live because the way we engage with the world around us is symptomatic of what we believe is true about God.” We also chat about how Jackie doesn’t “mom alone,” about her growing family and the holy calling of motherhood.

Discuss: “We cannot allow our experiences to define God’s nature.” Heather talks about how the first 5 years really matter and that the act of mothering is holy. Does that resonate with you? How does that change how you look at parenting in the little years?

• The Bible Simplified : Going Deeper in Faith, Teaching Kids the Bible, and Seeing Jesus in Every Story :: Zach Windahl [Ep 530]

  Do you long to go deeper in your faith and help your children fall in love with Scripture — not just the stories, but the whole story?  Today Zach Windahl shares what led him to dedicate years to studying scripture. He emphasizes the importance of simplifying the Bible for others, particularly for those who feel overwhelmed or confused. After moving to Australia and enrolling in a transformative Bible study program, everything changed. He discovered how the entire Bible connects — from Genesis to Revelation — and how understanding Scripture through a Hebrew lens opens up a whole new depth of meaning. The Bible isn’t random. Every story, every verse, every command points to Jesus. Here is some of what we cover:  Why modeling your faith matters more than preaching to your kids The difference between a Greek vs. Hebrew mindset when reading Scripture What to do when Christian culture and actual Jesus living don’t align Connect with Zach Windahl:  Website:  Zach Windahl Facebook: Zach Windahl | Facebook Instagram:  Zach Windahl (@zachwindahl) Links Mentioned:   The Bible, Simplified: By Zach Windahl The Bible Study: By Zach Windahl See the Good: By Zach Windahl Practicing the Way: By John Mark Comer Revolutionary Parenting: By George Barna Zach Windahl – The Brand Sunday Related Episodes: Consistency in Bible Study :: Katie Orr [Ep 352] Every Mom a Theologian :: Phylicia Masonheimer [Ep 389] Why Read the Entire Bible :: Tara Leigh Cobble [Ep 312] Featured Sponsors:  Thrive Causemetics: Try your new trusty favorites with an exclusive set for our listeners.
