You asked for testimonies and we are so excited to deliver! Revelation 12:11 says that we overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimonies. Testimonies are a powerful tool in the kingdom and we are adding a special segment called 'Testimony Takeovers' to our regular episodes. In these segments, we will take a deep dive into different people's stories and give God the glory for what He has done.
In today's episode, we interviewed Madison Chadwell about her journey from religion to relationship with Jesus. It is such a beautiful picture of how grace transforms everything when we truly understand it. Madison spent most of her life trying to follow a set of rules to earn her seat at God's table. When she discovered what a real relationship with God was like, it changed everything for her! We believe that no matter what season of life you are in, you will be able to relate to Madison's story and we can't wait to hear how God touches your life with her testimony!

Where is my worth?
What is my worth?
These are questions that a lot of us know the right answer to but in today's episode we pose the idea that the right answer isn't always the true answer. Many of us have been operating in a way that suggests that our worth has been misplaced without even realizing it. With summer wardrobes lingering over us, now is the perfect time to armor up in this area and stop listening to the enemies lies! Today's conversation paints an incredible picture of the redemptive power of the cross and how it defines us...not our body shape. Please join us as we reclaim the ground that the enemy has tried to steal from us. WE ARE MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD!!

We shared the ins and outs of our daily walk with the Lord, the importance of staying in our own lane, and what it looks like to keep going when we're tired. We hope you leave feeling encouraged and challenged to run with endurance in the race that is set before you!

Growing up, we all had a dream for what our life would look like and so many of us are living far short of those dreams. What if we not only believed that God CAN do more than we could possibly imagine but stepped out in faith believing that He WILL do it? What if the same God who helped David defeat Goliath, who helped Esther save her people, who promoted Joseph to head over all of Egypt...wanted to partner with you in the same big way? In today's episode, we challenge you to allow God to awaken dreams inside of you that you never even knew you had. We believe that when you do, you'll step into dreams that will change you and change the world! Get ready because God is on the move!

The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
-John 10:10
This verse describes perfectly the war that is waging all around us. One side brings death and the other brings life. One side breeds fear, while the other brings peace. One side riddles you with anxiety and depression while the other allows you to experience joy no matter your circumstance.
No one is immune from the battle because every single person has something valuable inside of them that the enemy hates and wants to destroy. Whether you know it or not, you are engaging in battle every single day so lets make sure we are fighting for the right team! In today's episode we dive in to the ways we battle the spiritual warfare in our own lives and how we armor up for the battles we face.
We pray that as you listen, you are encouraged to get on your knees and fight whatever battle is in front of you with the authority you have been given!
John 16:33 says that in this world we WILL have trouble...
We have come to find in our lives that if we aren't in a hard season, we are either coming out of one or going into one. In this month's episode, we dive into what our hard seasons have looked like and share the hope we found through it all!
John 16:33 ends by encouraging us to take heart because Jesus has overcome the world.
Your hard season and your suffering do not have the last word! We pray that today's episode encourages you to hope in something so much bigger than your current circumstances.

We believe that, in the church, you can't be a leader if you aren't first a servant. The life of Jesus depicts the ultimate example of this concept and in today's episode, we share what it has looked like in our lives. God was speaking to us so much as we made this episode and we pray that He does the same for you. Whether you lead a small book study, lead thousands, or lead only within the walls of your home, there is something in today's episode that we believe will encourage and exhort you to lead the way that Jesus did!
You are called. You were created to make an impact on this world.
Ephesians 2:10 says that you are God's masterpiece and that He has created you in Christ Jesus so that you can do the things that he has planned for you to do. You have a purpose that goes far beyond what you want and what you feel and God had something specific in mind for you to do even before He created you!
In this episode, we dive into three things you need to do in order to live the life God has called you to live. We pray that as you listen, you are inspired to settle for nothing less than the incredible plan God has for your life!
Stepping out in obedience will always bring blessing to your life, but it will also bring adversity.

We truly believe that there is something for everyone in today's conversation so pull up a seat and join us. We pray that as you hear our personal experiences and struggles, it builds your faith to believe that you can trust God in whatever He has called you to do!
