Have you ever met someone who has been through more than you could ever fathom, yet they’re still smiling and praising God?

We met in 2006 when I was still in college, and did ministry together at a church plant in the valley (near Burbank, California) for years. She prayed for me fervently when I was sick, and took me to coffee when I had questions about faith. This is part 1 of 2; today she’s sharing her back-story, and then next time she’ll be sharing how God healed her heart and helped her recover from some very difficult traumas.For an even deeper dive into Corinna’s amazing immigration stories, and life in general, you can check out her book here:https://www.amazon.com/You-Cant-Tell-Anyone/dp/0692735240To learn more about Obria Clinic where she works now, visit their website:https://obria.org/los-angeles/

This is a quick story about my recovery from multiple autoimmune diseases and a gnarly infection that may likely have been Lyme. I still have little health issues here and there but am a fully functioning human again. Here's a quick synopsis of how that looked.There's SOOO much to talk about with regards to physical healing, and we'll dive more into what the Bible says about it in future episodes. Plus, it's often related to Inner Healing, which we're going to look at with more scrutiny after our series on Revelation is finished up.

Revelation Chapter 6 is full of hyperlinks back to Hebrew Scripture, metaphors of God's judgement on wickedness, symbolism, angelic activity, and a long-term theology for our suffering. The spirits known as the "horsemen of the apocalypse" are a popular reference in culture and have been for centuries, but many of us don't know what the heck they really are, so let's take a look at these famous figures.
On this episode of Devotions with Dre, I interview my dad.My dad and I love to geek out about Bible study, so you'll hear us chat about Mt. Hermon and Jesus saying "on this rock I'll build my church."You'll also hear the spiritual origin story of the Hamilton family (Hamilton is my maiden name btw), and how faith in Jesus Christ spread like wildfire from my dad to his parents to his sister and then others.Finally, my dad David talks about how it took him a long time to truly let God lead in every area of life, and stop letting his quick temperament take over.Leave a comment and let me know if this was as heart-warming a conversation for you as it was for me.

Ep 35 Inner Healing Convo: Marcus Robinson's Journey with Racial Conciliation Part 2 by Dre Binley
Marcus Robinson is the founder of Dream and Imagine International Ministries, and my long-time friend. He has interim pastored many international and multi-cultural churches, built and discipled arts communities throughout Southern California, and guest taught at a ton of world events. He also serves at Life Pacific University as the Director of Diversity and Inclusion. In today's episode of Devotions with Dre, we hear part 1 of our conversation about Marcus's inner healing journey, and how it relates to racial conciliation in the world around us.
I created an outline of Revelation (to get the pdf, join my email list at www.Binley.band).In this video I walk you through the whole outline, and share quotes from Bible scholars about how we can properly understand and interpret this beautiful book in scripture.
It was so exciting to catch up with my songwriter friend Bree. We go way back - and her and God go way back too. If you’re looking for some wisdom on how to walk through adversity and hear from God in hard times, this episode will help you tremendously.Bree is a successful entrepreneur and musician, as well as worship leader and Christian speaker in southern California. She’s also a Crohn’s and glaucoma survivor with vision loss who had navigated some serious challenges in life, and had a few really close calls.One thing I’ve learned as I walk with Jesus is: inspire off of people who have been following consistently, for long durations. They are the “good soil” that God’s gospel can really generate within, take root, and grow fruitfully through. I know you’ll be blessed by her story of inner healing and faithfulness over the decades.
Ep 30 Book of Revelation Part 11: Supernatural Creatures and Elders that Worship by Dre Binley
Ari is a close friend and fellow Spirit-Led Christian who has learned how to heal from trauma, generational wounds, and abuse. She has many spiritual gifts, and one of the gifts we talk about in this podcast episode is the gift of Prophesy. We also talk about resting in God, letting the Father guide your healing process, and about exposing darkness for what it is, even and especially when it occurs inside the Church. [You'll hear some white noise that is blurring out identifying words; this is because I had told Ari to feel free to share names, and then later we were advised to consider not doing that, because of the potential of bogus-but-still-draining type lawsuits and such].You can find Ari on Insta: @ariii_v and on TikTok: @arivialva
