Join Laura and Debbie as they continue the conversations in our month’s theme about thriving. So much of our ability to thrive is impacted by our thought life. God’s desire for each of us is to have our minds renewed by changing the way we think to align with what God thinks.
We will only thrive according to what is in our basket. This is the key concept of our third session of Thrive with Laura Piraino. What is a place of lack in your life? What is a place of hurt or need, something that you strive to fill on your own? With the visual of a basket, Laura shares how our places of lack can only be satisfied by Christ. Looking to any other source to heal our place of lack will only leave us hungry again
Join Debbie, Laura and 102 women in Wilmington, Delaware for a live podcast event recorded at our Thrive Bible Study in February. Hear real life examples from Laura and Debbie that will speak to your heart about truths learned in last week’s podcast on thriving. There is no doubt that one of these will resonate with you.
On February 22, Laura and Debbie hosted their first Thrive Beyond Bible Study at Calvary Assembly of God in Wilmington, DE. Session one found Debbie presenting a message entitled, Meant To Thrive. Listen in on her teaching that day.
Our potential isn’t based on who we are, it is solely based on who God is. Today we look at Moses’s story. When God spoke to him from the burning bush to tell him it was time to see the people set free, God didn’t tell Moses who he was or what he could do. God told Moses who He was and because of that Moses could do what he was called to do! The same is true of us. Hear more in today’s episode!
So many times we determine our potential based on our circumstances. When things are going our way, we feel like we can do what God has called us to do but when things are not going our way, we fall into a slump. David is a man who found himself in circumstances that could have left him stuck, but his walk of integrity allowed him to live out his full potential rather than take things into his own hands. Hear his story in this week’s episode.
Join Laura and Debbie with special guests John and Angel Laks! We will hear their incredible stories of how God walked them through life’s challenges to give birth to involvement in ministries that are powerfully impacting the lives of others.

Join Debbie and Laura in the series called Incredible Stories as they take a look at the lives of Elizabeth and Zechariah as they too, carried labels that did not make sense when they heard the message brought by the angel Gabriel.

Journey with us into a month of incredible stories as we enter the Christmas season! In this episode, Laura and Debbie study the life of Mary, a young teenage woman who wore labels that did not align with the message brought to her by the angel Gabriel. God is not deterred by the labels you wear! He is able to do the incredible in and through your life as you posture yourself as Mary did, as a servant of the Most High God!
Join us again for the rest of Jared and Megan Peterson’s phenomenal story of faith and healing. Part 2!
Jared and Megan Petersen have walked a truly incredible story. Born with a congenital heart disorder, Jared’s heart endured multiple heart surgeries through his growing years. Ten years ago, it was evident that a heart transplant would be necessary for him to thrive. After years of searching for the right place and time, Jared received a new heart in July 2023.

So often life does not turn out as we expected and it is very easy to lose sight of the vision that God had given to us. Laura Matera, a director with Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), joins Laura and Debbie with a powerful testimony about how God strengthened her to hold onto the vision the Lord had given to her and her husband Joe. She shared about life’s unexpected turn with the passing of her husband, leaving to raise three young girls...and how He enabled her to pick up the torch to continue to build a powerful ministry among surfers and skaters within FCA.
It seems we all have a lot of moving pieces in our lives these days. Our country, our families and our own hearts experience moving pieces and we need to know how to respond according to the Word of God. Why do the pieces move around us? Join Debbie and Laura to understand 4 reasons the pieces move found in the story of Moses.
A quick analogy of a doing a puzzle shows us how God puts the pieces together in our stories in order to bring about a beautiful end. Are you struggling with something that seems out of order or a piece that seems to be missing? God’s Word provides truth for us in these situations. Join Debbie and Laura today.

Join Laura Piraino and Debbie Keever as they jump into conversation for the month of September in a new series called, Moving Pieces. Life can suddenly change with one phone call. All the pieces had been in place, all your ducks were standing in a straight line…until they weren’t. God is less concerned that your pieces have suddenly moved and more interested in helping you navigate those sudden changes. Join Deb and Laura as they share some recent examples in their own lives of having had to navigate sudden changes.
Influencers are people whose opinions compete for your attention. Influencers can be in your family, in your peer group and in culture itself. The choice you need to make is: will you value God’s opinion of you more than the opinion of an influencer?
In a performance driven society, we can get tangled in the lie that our identity is found in the strengths that God has given us. Culture seeks to glorify what we do and how well we do it. What we find in this episode is that our strengths are tools that God gives us in order to live out our purpose, but never intended to define who we are.
Good or bad, we often allow our past to define who we are today. Christ has made us to live out our purpose in this moment we find ourselves in today, not tied to memories of yesterday. This episode shares the freedom we can experience by living who we are and what we are called to be totally free today.
The cry of every human heart is to know WHO they are and what their PURPOSE for living is. The only One who has the right to define you, to declare your purpose for living…is the One who created you.
Times in our lives where the heat gets turned up seem like they are purposed to bring us down, but what we find when our eyes are fixed on Jesus is that these times are actually purposed to bring on the power! What if we viewed our challenges as opportunities for God’s power to be on display in our lives? Join us this week as we look at Daniel in the lion’s den and how an entire nation was turned to Christ because of one man’s struggle.
Join Debbie and Laura as they share from Daniel 3 using the R.E.A.D.S. study tool. Join the conversation by studying this passage on your own following the method shared in episode 92 to hear what God would speak to you personally through this passage!
Daniel 3 shares the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, three men who decided to follow the one true God. Making that decision set them apart and being set apart led to a moment of personal crisis like they had never experienced before! It was in that fiery place that Jesus met them. He didn’t spare them from going into the fire, but he was with them every step of the way. Feeling the heat today? Be encouraged as you listen to today’s episode with Debbie Keever and Laura Piraino.
This week we begin our new series, When the Heat Gets Turned Up. Join Debbie and Laura as they look at Daniel 1 and the way God prepared four young men for a challenging season ahead. What God showed them will prepare us for our challenging seasons as well.
Today, we revisit an earlier episode where we hear an amazing testimony of how the Lord walked alongside Carolina Hatton...in life...and on her journey towards becoming a U.S. citizen.
God created us to be whole body, soul, and spirit. Wholeness comes with staying within the boundaries God has established. This week, Debbie and Laura share the personal boundaries God has given them to stay whole body, soul, and spirit. As you listen to this episode, ask the Lord how He would lead you to maintain wholeness through boundaries in these areas of your life.
Boundaries can be a tricky thing to navigate in our relationships. What are healthy boundaries in relationships and how can you establish and maintain these boundaries God has given for your good? Check out this week’s episode to find out.
This week, jump into Debbie Keever and Laura Piraino’s journals as they take us into their quiet times with the Lord using the R.E.A.D.S study tool. Psalm 16 speaks to the boundaries God has established. They are for our good and they are pleasant. Why not read Psalm 16 along with this episode utilizing this tool for yourself and see what God will speak to your heart? The R.E.A.D.S. study tool can be found in previous episode 92.
Join Debbie and Laura as they start a new series called Boundaries. In this week’s episode, hear what boundaries are based on the Word of God, why they are important, and what consequences we face when we step outside of God’s established boundaries.

Join them as they share right from their own journals!
The most important feature of anything that is built is the foundation. The health, stability, strength and integrity fully depend on having a foundation that is prepared to stand the test of time. Nicole Theis, founder and president of Delaware Family Policy Council (DFPC) is our special guest today as she shares about how the team at DFPC works daily to equip and embolden Christ followers in Delaware to take action to advance, defend, and intentionally preserve foundations of faith, family, and freedom in all the arenas that shape the culture.
Can we live life to the full when we find ourselves in an unexpected season? Psalm 1 talks about living planted by the rivers of life. This spiritual analogy shows the truth that our roots need to go deep into the Word if we want to bear fruit, but what about when we are no longer ‘planted by the river’ we used to be planted by in our past season? Using the lemon tree as an analogy, Debbie and Laura discuss how to steward these seasons.
We often talk about how hard it is to be in the middle of a season, but another significant challenge takes place when a season ends leaving you feeling empty and out of place. Looking at the life of Jesus today, we discuss today the correct way to respond and how to steward the journey out of the season you are in.
We have a special guest joining Debbie and Laura today on Beyond the Building to walk us through Psalm 23 where we see the Good Shepherd’s presence and His strategic plan unfolding in our lives in the different seasons we might find ourselves. You can learn more about Valerie by visiting her website You Can Know Ministries with Valerie George.
Join Laura and Debbie as they begin their April podcast series called, “Seasons”. This week we focus on the important reminder in the Word of God that we are to steward well every moment we are in…in every season. We should practice being present in the moment rather than wishing we were in the next season.
Any God-given dream will come with resistance. This week, Debbie and Laura look at Joseph’s journey in Genesis 37-41 to see that while we may have resistance in our circumstances, from other people and in our own hearts to the dream God has given, nothing can stop what God has planned. Be encouraged today if you are feeling resistance to your dream. It is actually evidence that God is on the move!
Join Debbie and Laura as they jump into an Old Testament great whose nickname in some circles was Joseph the Dreamer. Genesis 37 will be the main text of study as we take a look at the early dreams of Joseph and discuss the importance of using wisdom in who we share our dreams with and the timing of sharing.
Ever wonder what the difference is between a calling from God and dream from God? This week, Jenna Nicholson and Zoe Morris, the worship duo Jenna and Zoe, share an understanding of this distinction. Their testimonies will encourage your faith and spur you on to live out what God has called you to do while you trust God with the dream He has given. Take a listen to Jenna and Zoe’s worship music on your preferred music platform!
Laura Piraino and Debbie Keever are excited about inviting you to join them in discussion in the month of March on a topic we are calling “Dreams.” Join them with their special guest/friend/mentor, Pastor Trish Gunn, as they delve into an overview of how dreams are just one of the many ways God speaks to His children. We are to steward the dreams God gives us well. Trish, Debbie and Laura served in ministry together for years so this reunion of pastors was a very special treat for Laura and Debbie!
What sounds like a cliche is actually a powerful truth that can change the way you view your role in any relationship. Using Jesus as the example, Paul shares how relationships will thrive when we serve one another. Humility is the first step. The next is to guard ourselves against grumbling. What does that mean? The definition might surprise you. Join Debbie Keever and Laura Piraino for the fourth in a series on relationships and be encouraged today!
Seven words in Philippians 1 can change the way you view a relationship in your life where you just cannot find a middle ground. Join us for this freeing message as Laura Piraino shares a testimony of a time when she recognized that struggles in relationships don’t end when we surrender our will to the one we struggle with, but when both parties surrender their wills to God.
This week’s edition of Beyond the Building focuses on the principles found in Song of Solomon 2:15. Most relationships struggle not from the big misunderstandings, but rather, from a culmination of the small areas of conflict. We need to be diligent to watch over the vineyards of our relationships- we need to beware of the little foxes that subtly destroy the good fruit.
Join Laura Piraino and Debbie Keever as they launch the new February series called, “Relationships”. Each week will focus on another Biblical principle that will help us to improve the health of our relationships. Week 1 reminds us to utilize every tool in our Biblical toolbox in order to keep the peace in our relationships.
This week, we revisit a the R.E.A.D.S. Bible Study Tool.
Each of us needs to be equipped with a solid understanding of how to study the Word of God and how to discern what the Holy Spirit wants to speak to our hearts specifically from scripture.
In this episode, Laura and Debbie revisit the R.E.A.D.S.’s Bible study tool. It is an acronym that stands for Read, Examine, Application, Dialogue and See in the Spirit.
The story of David and Goliath doesn’t end when the giant falls. Today’s final episode in our Giants series shows that one man or woman can make a difference in his or her family for generations to come. Generational giants can be defeated once and for all allowing the story to shift from years of defeat to years of victory ahead!
When you think there is no end to the giant you are facing, today’s episode shares the powerful truth that every giant can and will fall under the authority of Jesus Christ. If you are feeling hopeless or defeated today, this one is for you. It will boost your faith and keep your mind focused on the truth.
In our second episode during our month-long series called “Giants” we again turn to 1 Samuel 17 and focus on drastically different responses to the giant Goliath. King Saul and the entire Israeli army listened to the giant’s taunts for 40 days and remained paralyzed to do anything. David heard the giant just once and was ready to take his stand and fight. How are you responding to the giants in your life? Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, and defeated? Time to suit up folks and face the giants head-on!
Welcome to 2024 and welcome to a new series here on Beyond The Building! This month of January we are taking 4 weeks to dive deeply into 1 Samuel 17, a very familiar portion of scripture where David courageously faces and defeats the giant, Goliath, who has tormented all of Israel for 40 days. In this first episode, we focus on being able to identify the giants that we face in our lives today and shifting our focus to taking back the land that rightfully belongs to us as children of the Living God.
Merry Christmas from Beyond the Building! Join Debbie and Laura for this week’s short, reflective episode as we remember who our Prince of Peace is right from the Word of God.
The declaration from the angels that Messiah had come on the first Christmas came to shepherds, in the middle of the night. While fear would have been the natural response, the angels told the shepherds to ‘behold’. This week Laura shares a testimony this week that shows the truth of beholding. The closer we are to our Messiah, the more our perspective changes and allows us to experience God’s glory. And experience God’s peace. Don’t miss this episode and the truth that it shares.
There is one thing that we can control and that is our thought life. The Bible is clear that when we fix our thoughts on the ONE who is the source of all peace, we find internal peace.
Welcome to the month of December where many are hoping that the “sounds of the seasons”, the egg nog and lights, the family get togethers will result in a moment of peace in their lives. There is only One true source of peace, Jesus, the Prince of Peace.
As followers of Jesus, we want to think that our response to answered prayer will be praise in our mountain top experiences, but we see in the Word of God that praising God on the mountain is not our natural response. Praising Him on the mountain is actually a response of our hearts to the supernatural presence of God with us. Join Debbie and Laura as they look at the story of the 10 lepers who were healed by Jesus and how we can make praise our first response when we experience answered prayer.
Join Debbie Keever and Laura Piraino as they take a deeper look at the choice Abraham made to worship God in a pivot act of surrender. Standing before an altar where he was moments from sacrificing his own son was worship purely out of obedience. This podcast will encourage each of us to remind ourselves that worship is a choice…even in moments of surrender.
Special guest, Pamela Peoples, received the phone call no mother wants to hear. In the hours that follow, she would go into airplane mode, unable to communicate with family or receive updates about the situation. Her story is a great reminder that in the silent times, God cares, God sees and God has a plan.
We are kicking off a new series for the month of November called “I’ll Praise You Anywhere”. Joining Laura Piraino and Debbie Keever are Chip and Natalie Keever as they share a moving testimony of how the choice to praise the Lord in long seasons of waiting has been an instrument God has used to deepen their faith in Him.
This week we go back to episode 53. The most important feature of anything that is built is the foundation. The health, stability, strength and integrity fully depend on having a foundation that is prepared to stand the test of time. Nicole Theis, founder and president of Delaware Family Policy Council (DFPC) is our special guest today as she shares about how the team at DFPC works daily to equip and embolden Christ followers in Delaware to take action to advance, defend, and intentionally preserve foundations of faith, family, and freedom in all the arenas that shape the culture.
This week we go back to episode 26. We certainly live in a time of great chaos, but in the battles of this life, we can experience great peace. The peace of Christ is living undisturbed by the chaos around us and is only possible when we are fully suited up in the armor of God. God has given us the shoes of peace so we can stand in the struggle rather than collapse when the battle rages on. We can have peace in our battles today!
This week we go back to episode 25. Our spiritual heart, also known as our soul, is the place that houses our emotions, our thought and our will. The enemy will do everything he can to get to our soul in order to influence our emotions, our thoughts and eventually get our will away from the Father’s will. God has given us a breastplate to guard our hearts in the battles of this life giving new meaning to the phrase ‘guard your heart’.
This week we go back to episode 24. The first piece of the armor that we are to put on is the Belt Of Truth. For the soldier, every piece of armor rests or hangs on his belt. Likewise, in our lives, everything we believe and act upon must align with the truth. The truth is God’s opinion on the matter; what does His Word say to us? Our enemy operates in deception…how important it is then that we walk in truth!
This week we go back to episode 23. Each of us is engaged in a battle with an unseen enemy, Satan. His plan is to steal, kill and destroy all that God has created. The day you received Christ as your Savior, the line was drawn and you became a target for Satan to attack. God has given us His armor, in Ephesians 6, to protect, to empower and to help us stand. Prayer, is the key. It is time to suit up!
Join Laura and Debbie this final week in our series called, “When We Pray, as we chat with a gal, Valerie George, who is such a kindred spirit with both Debbie and Laura! Valerie has a passion to teach women how to really dig into the Word of God and has written several Bible studies that can be used for personal use as well as in a small group setting. Her latest book, Live Unoffended, is available for purchase on Amazon. Valerie is a speaker/teacher and is reachable on her website, You Can Know Ministries. https://youcanknowministries.org/.
Join Laura and Debbie this week as they chat with Jeff and Meagan Mapson who share a powerful testimony of crying out to the Lord for the life of their infant struggling with RSV. Praying the Word of God has always been their passion but the trial they walked through as parents solidified the importance of prayer.

Do you have an area in your life that you consider a weakness? Perhaps this is a God placed line that He purposed to be the very place where you use your gifts to live out your call!
So often we view the places that redirect us are viewed as interruptions, but to God they are an intentional part in the directing of our story!
In the previous podcast in our series called, The Call, Debbie shared specific perspectives and tools, as a former children’s pastor, about shepherding the call in the children she taught.

Did you know that God’s love for you is multidimensional? According to Ephesians 3:18,19 TPT, His love for you has height, depth, length and width. In this podcast, Laura and Debbie describe what that means to be loved in an all encompassing love of the Father.
There was a children’s book that we used to read to our kids called, I Love You To The Moon and Back, where the parent and the child were in a competition to describe how huge their love was for one another. Parents desire that their child would really know that they would know that they would know…how much they are loved. Our Heavenly Father has the same heart towards you…He really wants you to know, not just with your head but with your heart as well…that He loves you…to the moon…and into eternity. Ephesians 3:16, 17 TPT
Are you rooted and established in the love of God? In Ephesians 3, Paul prays that followers of Jesus would have deep roots and a firm foundation so that when the winds blow they will not be moved.

An EMT for 30 years, Gregg Diener knew what was happening to his heart as he was rushed to the hospital with significant chest pain in June of 2020.

In the same way that we wear glasses to see clearly, God has given us the Word of God to use as our lens to gain His perspective on any given situation. How do we keep our perspective aligned with His? Join Debbie and Laura for practical ways to keep your spiritual glasses in place!
Nothing can test our grip on our plans quite like a change in our plans! God will sudden shifts in schedules and expectations to reveal who is Lord of our plans. One of the best ways we can prepare to handle changing plans in a godly manner is to make sure we are abiding in the Lord. The closer we are to Him, the more we can discern His perspective and respond appropriately.
In this episode, Debbie and Laura look into the Word to see God’s perspective on our present. Dwelling in the past leads to regret and shame. Dwelling in the future leads to worry and anxiety. Being present in the now is where we are to dwell if we want to live lives that are free and emotionally healthy. Our perspective on our past, present and future must align with God’s perspective.
Join Laura and Debbie as they launch a new series called, Fresh Perspective, in our new 2023 year!

Let’s make it a goal this year to grow in intimacy with the Heavenly Father so we can gain more of His perspective of our lives at any given moment.

The truth is that walking with Jesus does not keep us from experiencing storms in life. The disciples were with Jesus in a boat when a great storm arose. Fear gripped them as they ran to the Lord. What Jesus speaks to the storm is peace, but what He speaks to the disciples is something that will change our perspective and alleviate our fears.
We had so much fun in the month of October by sharing four podcasts in our theme called “God Says” that we decided to continue this series through the month of November! God Says Listen To Me is our focus today. God has been speaking to his creation since the garden of Eden…and He is still speaking to us today.

Followers of Jesus each come to a place in their life where they know they have found God. Interestingly enough, when we come into a struggle, we often wonder where God is and we go looking for Him again. God says in His Word that if you seek me, you will find me, if you seek me with your whole heart. The qualifier on the end is the secret to finding God in every moment of our stories.
In a world where nothing seems to make sense and we each face our own individual challenges, it is easy for us to wonder if there is really a plan for our lives. Today’s podcast shares the powerful truth that even in our hardest times, God says that He does have a plan and that plan is for His children, not against them. If you are facing a struggle today, you can find peace in the middle of a storm knowing that God has a plan.
Laura and Debbie focus on the strong exhortation to “Stay In Step” with the Spirit that is found in Galatians 5:25. Like a parent who says to their child, “Stay right here next to me”, we have a loving Heavenly Father who also speaks directly to His children…”Stay in Step” with My Spirit. Laura and Debbie discuss why this is so important, the benefits as well as why this is just so challenging for us to walk out!
The Word of God is filled with powerful words of life where God says something to His people. In our 2 month long series called, God Says, Debbie and Laura have each picked particular statements that really mean something to them personally and invite you to enjoy their lively discussion.

Eunice Lai has a face and a voice that brings so much joy to many. In this podcast she describes how the Lord had her pivot in order to discover the gifts that He had planted deep within for ministry.
Spiritual disciplines are practices that we find in the Word of God that the church has been doing since its formation.

I think all of us have experienced the overwhelming number of choices found at the “all you can eat” buffet….and all the choices are tasty and call to us! However, not all the good choices are the best choices for us. What a parallel for us in our lives; how do we discern just how much to put on the plates…of our lives?
Don’t plant what you can’t tend! In making healthy, God honoring decisions we are encouraged in today’s episode to consider the cost of the decisions we make. If we do not have the time, energy or leading of the Holy Spirit to add something new to our schedule, or our garden, the healthy response is to consider the cost and follow the Word of God.
How do you respond in seasons that leave you feeling stuck? Our normal response is to immediately work to free ourselves from what is holding us back. Today’s episode shows us that sometimes the seasons where we feel stuck can be purposed by God to protect us on our journey. Surrendering to God in these seasons is the only healthy response and leads to a place of joy, even in our challenging times.
Laura and Debbie are joined by Debbie’s father, Curt Conn, as they kick off a new monthly series called “Feeling Stuck”. Making decisions is a part of our everyday lives and yet, so often, we can find ourselves just feeling stuck in making a final decision.

Is it possible to experience life in our desert seasons? Today’s episode speaks to the importance of planting seeds in places where we do not currently see life. If we look at our circumstances from a natural point of view, it is easy to think that planting seeds in dry seasons would be a waste of time, but seeing it from a Biblical perspective shows us that planting seeds in dry places works for our good and God’s glory.
Our dry seasons are places where we feel abandoned, forgotten and lonely. In these difficult seasons, we can be assured that God has provided for our every need, including protection from the enemy of our souls in these places. Join Debbie and Laura as they share a moment from the desert and Jesus’ desert season to encourage you in your challenging place.
Isaiah 58:11 reminds us that the Lord’s presence in their lives is similar to that large underground reservoir of water that is available to every believer. Why do we see such vast differences between believers in areas of the fruits of the Spirit, of answered prayer, of anointing and of intimacy with the Father? The difference comes from whether or not we are willing to really dig down deep into the reservoir of His presence.
Welcome to a new series, “Treasures in the Desert”, in the month of May! Both Laura and Debbie have spent time in deserts: Debbie visited Palm Desert in California and Laura visited Dubai, a city in the United Arab Emirates. There is a powerful parallel to be shared as we focus on Isaiah 58:11 and how each believer has the same reservoir of rivers of living water available to them. The question that needs to be asked is “why then do some believers live like they are dried up and lacking life while others are thriving?

It’s easy in the world today to be deceived by what is not true and get tripped up in the process. Spiritual friends look to protect each other by speaking the truth to one another. Words that are true can sometimes be painful when not spoken in love. Join Debbie and Laura as they dive into 1 Samuel 18 to discuss Jonahtan’s belt, his final gift to his spiritual friend, David.
In 1 Samuel 18, Jonathan gives David his sword and his bow as they go into a covenant friendship.

February is a month where we are focusing on the topic of relationships, and more specifically, our spiritual friendships. What do we do, however, when we have a friendship that is…”complicated”? Sometimes our friendships feel like that tangled ball of Christmas lights! What does the BIble say to us about unraveling those…complicated relationships?
Spiritual friendships are gifts to us on our journey in following Jesus. In a world where friendships are easily fractured and quickly canceled, friendships based on the truth of God’s Word are called to be different. These relationships are not based on competition, but on covenant. Are we friends who lay aside our own plans to see our spiritual friends live in the fullness of the call God has placed on them?

This move contained more pain than she could have imagined but God was using this painful season to create a heart of compassion in Sandy that has impacted many on the way.
New seasons are exciting but often come on the heels of silent seasons. We are tempted in these silent seasons to feel hopeless and forgotten but God is moving in these seemingly silent moments to order events and orchestrate steps preparing the way for what He has for us in the new. Avoiding the silent season leaves us unprepared for what He has coming our way.
Tis the season…of making fabulous resolutions that deep down, you doubt you will keep! This is a month of celebrating the “NEW” that a relationship with Christ brings to your life. The Word of God tells us that in Him, He has made all things new. We love that! However, have you noticed that you still struggle with sin? Join us as we share some practical tools for seeing God continue…to make all things new in your walk with Him as you surrender to His Lordship.
Feeling left out was a part of Eunice Lai’s story. For years, the lies that the enemy told her left her feeling excluded and not good enough. Recently, during a very serious month long bought with Covid, Eunice experienced an outpouring of love from family, friends and strangers. This allowed her to realize the importance and uniqueness of the part of the body of Christ that she was created to be! Join Eunice as she shares her journey and invites you into the story, to know that you are not left out. There is a place at the table of God for you!
The single most important message that can be shared in any season is this: Jesus came to earth so we would not be left out. In today’s episode, Debbie and Laura share from the Word of God the most important gift of all, the gift of salvation. This gift is for everyone, no one has to be left out.

As we continue in our series called “Not Left Out”, we focus today on the irony of the “in crowd” in the Christmas story...actually being left out...and the “out crowd”...actually being included “in”, in one of the most significant moments ever...the birth of the Messiah!
Have you experienced the pain of believing yourself to be in the “out crowd” of life? There is a powerful word for you in this Christmas story and it is all about achieving HIS perspective of what/who is really important!
Feeling left out is not a good feeling; and yet it is likely something that you have felt at some time in your life. There is something about the holidays to accentuate this emotion of sadness of not being included. Jesus understands how you are feeling. The Christmas story offers hope to those who have been hurt by feeling left out. In this opening episode, we will take a look specifically at how Jesus experienced being left out...and how we can love others with a greater sensitivity.

Many of us find ourselves in challenges today.

As we enter November, our hearts are reminded to have an attitude of gratitude. While we often look for ways to express gratitude, it’s equally important to recognize what is keeping us from living with a heart of gratitude. This week, Debbie and Laura share four roadblocks to maintaining a grateful heart and discuss ways we can avoid them.
There were two men who found themselves walking along a road to Emmaus with the resurrected Jesus...but failed to recognize His presence there with them. As a believer, filled with the presence of the Holy Spirit, how is it that we often find ourselves failing to recognize that He truly walks through life with us? Join Debbie and Laura as they conclude this series with our final teaching, Unmasking His Presence.
Making the decision to follow Jesus is the beginning of a wonderful journey! In that moment we see Him as our Deliverer, the One Who sets us free from what has kept us bound. As we continue to follow Jesus, we begin to realize that seeing Him as Deliverer is only the beginning. Following Jesus is a lifelong journey of knowing Him in new and deeper ways. Every step we take with Him removes another mask from our eyes, allowing us to see Him more clearly.
Have you ever wondered where God is in your story? Maybe you have questioned His plan or wondered if He really has a purpose for you. Esther’s story shows us that while the answers to these questions may seem to be hidden in your story, God is over it all and will reveal Himself, His plans and His purpose in His time. Your part is to trust in Him.
Have you ever felt like you have been dropped: wounded by someone else’s carelessness or meanness?

He was called before the king, the mask was dropped and he found that there was a place at the kings’ table...just for him.
An 11 year struggle with infertility led Dawn and her husband down a hard and painful path. For years she wanted to be pregnant, asking God for the desire of her heart.

This realization started a miracle story that will encourage your heart and strengthen your faith.
Christine Robinson joins Debbie and Laura in a powerful story about how 20 years ago, the Lord placed a call on her life to create a network of connecting local churches and those bringing children into their homes in the foster system. Sometimes the span of time between when God calls you, and when He says...GO...is longer than you imagine it should be. God used those 20 years in Christine’s life to prepare and mature her for significant ministry.
While relocating from India to the United States, God put a specific word on Merina’s heart. He was bringing her to a new country for a specific purpose. Many years later, Merina would come to realize that call and step into her God-given purpose. Ministering to women with unplanned pregnancies, Merina’s call speaks life and encourages us to pursue our call, speaking life to the hurting around us, as well.
So often life does not turn out as we expected and it is very easy to lose sight of the vision that God had given to us. Laura Matera, a director with Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), joins Laura and Debbie with a powerful testimony about how God strengthened her to hold onto the vision the Lord had given to her and her husband Joe. She shared about life’s unexpected turn with the passing of her husband, leaving to raise three young girls...and how He enabled her to pick up the torch to continue to build a powerful ministry among surfers and skaters within FCA.
We are each created with significance - not because of what we can accomplish but rather, because of who God has declared us to be.
We need to go back to the beginning, to the Garden of Eden, to discover the truth about our significance.
Each of us craves connection with others. We want to know...and we want to be known. Join us as we go back to the Garden of Eden to discover God’s design for intimacy with His creation.
Misplaced priorities lead to a misplaced center... It had been 60 years since Israel had heard the book of the Law of the Lord. Slowly pushed aside from its place of prominence, other things took the center.
In 2 Kings 22, the Law of the Lord was found. What an impact going back to the Word was for Israel and what an impact it has on us.
Seasons of wandering and seasons of walking from God’s ways can leave us in a place where we are no longer pursuing the original call God has on our lives.
With Moses and Samson as examples, Laura and Debbie dig into God’s Word to uncover the way to return and pursue again our calling.

When God speaks a word to our hearts, it will come to pass. After a robbery at her home, God spoke to Laura Piraino that she would have the opportunity to share the love of Jesus with the one who had caused the offence. After five years of silence, God brought the moment to pass and with it came the opportunity to forgive God’s way. We may think the story is over, but the freedom that comes through forgiveness opens doors we never imagined.
Freedom comes at a cost. May we never forget the lives sacrificed so we can be free. Our freedom spiritually was also costly...may we never forget.
When given the opportunity to study the Constitution of our country in great depth at a summer program in Washington DC, Sandy learned tremendous lessons on the freedom we have as American citizens.

Tammy Holland joins Beyond the Building to help open our eyes to the dark world of human trafficking. These victims require special care in rediscovering…who they are after having identities stolen by their traffickers.
In a performance driven society, we can get tangled in the lie that our identity is found in the strengths that God has given us. Culture seeks to glorify what we do and how well we do it. What we find in this episode is that our strengths are tools that God gives us in order to live out our purpose, but never intended to define who we are.
Good or bad, we often allow our past to define who we are today.
Christ has made us to live out our purpose in this moment we find ourselves in today, not tied to memories of yesterday.
This episode shares the freedom we can experience by living who we are and what we are called to be totally free today.
The cry of every human heart is to know WHO they are and what their PURPOSE for living is.
The only One who has the right to define you, to declare your purpose for living is the One who created you.

With special guest, Eunice Lai, this episode speaks to the gift of serving in and out of the local church. Serving together creates relationships by providing community and is a platform for God to stretch us and grow us.

The mangrove tree is not a beautiful tree. People do not study this tree because of the delicious fruit or the striking color of its leaves.
The mangrove tree is known for its roots. With three distinct root structures, this tree has a very specific purpose. As we are created body, soul and spirit, we find that we were created for a very specific purpose, too.
While our natural tendency is to avoid painful, challenging seasons, these are the times that God uses to grow our trust and faith in Him.
Looking at King David’s story, this episode shows that God allows and uses difficult times to prepare us for the royal position He has purposed for us.
Perhaps difficult seasons are actually growing seasons as He continues to shape us into who we were created to be.
We grow best when our environments are healthy. Join us as we continue with part two as we discuss some additional topics of what to be cautious of…and what to encourage.
What are the infestations that can get inside of our hearts and minds that will destroy healthy growth? What role does perseverance play? What is the ‘Miracle Grow’ that you need to develop spiritual fruit?
This one is so rich with important practical tools for how to create an environment for growth to occur, that we had to split it over two weeks! Where you are planted matters!
How you handle topics like “deadheading” and “trimming runners” can make all the difference. God’s desire is that each of us become “green-thumbs” in our own personal growth!
Every seed that is planted today has the potential to impact growth generations from now. Do you know what that means for each of us?

While emotional or spiritual injury can leave us stuck and unable to live in true freedom, God has provided a way for us to recover and be whole.
The process can be painful but similar to the unfreezing of a shoulder, it leads to freedom and range of motion that may have been forgotten along the way.
All of us experience a wounded heart in our lifetimes.
When the wound is not addressed and healed, a door is opened for unforgiveness to enter which then leads to a bitter heart.
A heart that is stuck in bitterness is cold and unmoving.but, there is hope.
This is a powerful episode on how the choice to forgive (and be forgiven) melts even the most frozen of hearts.
All it takes is an open door. We have a thought or experience that ushers in a simple thought of fear or anxiety.
If not addressed swiftly, these emotions can overtake us - leaving us paralyzed.
Similar to the way an injury can produce a scar, impeding the free movement of our bodies, emotional or spiritual injury can produce unseen scar tissue that keeps us from living free.
In today’s episode, learn to identify the warning signs of these injuries in order to avoid being in the pain that comes along with these frozen places.
In a Christmas season that looks very different than others have in the past, we may find ourselves exhausted, weary and struggling.
The same thing could be said of those in the very first Christmas story.
In the middle of their struggle, a conqueror was born making a way for us all to be more than conquerors in every battle we face.
The enemy is after our minds. If he can influence our thinking, then he can influence our behaviors and our emotions.
This teaching on the helmet of salvation will address how to recognize strongholds of thoughts that prevent us from walking in victory.
Our only offensive weapon in the armor of God is our sword, the Word of God. This sword is unique and reveals truth that we can apply to our personal lives today.
Distractions in life come at us from every angle but God has given us a shield to hold up against them. Active faith will keep us focused and protected on the battle at hand.
We certainly live in a time of great chaos, but in the battles of this life, we can experience great peace.
The peace of Christ is living undisturbed by the chaos around us and is only possible when we are fully suited up in the armor of God.
God has given us the shoes of peace so we can stand in the struggle rather than collapse when the battle rages on. We can have peace in our battles today!
Our spiritual heart, also known as our soul, is the place that houses our emotions, our thought and our will.
The enemy will do everything he can to get to our soul in order to influence our emotions, our thoughts and eventually get our will away from the Father’s will.
God has given us a breastplate to guard our hearts in the battles of this life giving new meaning to the phrase ‘guard your heart’.
The first piece of the armor that we are to put on is the Belt Of Truth. For the soldier, every piece of armor rests or hangs on his belt.
Likewise, in our lives, everything we believe and act upon must align with the truth. The truth is God’s opinion on the matter; what does His Word say to us?
Our enemy operates in deception…how important it is then that we walk in truth!
Each of us is engaged in a battle with an unseen enemy, Satan.
His plan is to steal, kill and destroy all that God has created. The day you received Christ as your Savior, the line was drawn and you became a target for Satan to attack.
God has given us His armor, in Ephesians 6, to protect, to empower and to help us stand. Prayer, is the key. It is time to suit up!
Every good story is meant to be shared and that includes our stories, too!
God has written a specific plot line for each of our stories with the purpose of growing us and encouraging others.
Sharing our stories leaves us vulnerable and often uncertain of what to say or how to say it. In this week’s episode, hear practical teaching from God’s Word on how to share your story with others today."
We all have had them: those chapters, or seasons of our lives that were our favorites. We wish we could relive (re-read) them again and again! These sweet seasons are meant to be enjoyed.
However, the Bible provides some wise counsel for how to not make some critical mistakes in life while you are sitting back and enjoying these favorite chapters!
Every good story that we hear or read starts with an introduction followed by a significant conflict.
From there, the action rises with chapters full of challenges until finally we reach a place where there is a turning point.
In this week’s episode we will hear how it is in these perhaps unpleasant chapters of our story that our character is developed preparing us to identify with those who come behind us who have a very similar story.
Each of us finds ourselves living out a story…it’s as if our lives are a novel. We have an incredible Author, the heavenly Father Himself! The main character, YOU, has been so skillfully crafted to accomplish the purpose that God has designed for you.
We think it would be a “novel” idea if you would join us in this kickoff introduction podcast to the themes, the characters, the plots and the purpose of the stories of our lives!
An EMT for 30 years, Gregg Diener knew what was happening to his heart as he was rushed to the hospital with significant chest pain in June of 2020.

Throughout God's Word, men and women were given opportunities for do-overs after disobedience or failure.

Revelation 12:11 states that we overcome the accusations by the enemy through the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony.
In this podcast, Christa DiEmedio shares a powerful testimony of the transformative work of the Holy Spirit as He brought the prodigal home.
"Our lives are filled with opportunities for do-overs”.
Things do not always go as planned and we have the opportunity to learn from them and to try again.
God is at work in our hearts during these times-the key is for us to take full advantage of growing more into the likeness of Jesus.
God uses the heat and pressures of life to expose areas of sin in our lives, both what is visible to others as well as the secret sins in our hearts.
Keeping our hearts clean before the Lord, in each step of the process, is what produces the sweetest fruit in our lives.
In sweet times of victory, it is more important than ever to make sure our worship is directed toward God in order to avoid pitfalls that lie ahead.
David’s prayer for a clean heart positions us for what’s next on our journey.

Everything that we need to navigate transition, individually as well as with one another, is found in our ability to remain connected to our life source, Jesus Christ.
It is so hard to understand our present circumstances because we have been living with so many unknowns.
God has a much broader perspective of this moment, right now. Trusting this truth can really help us navigate transition.
Seasons of transition can be unsettling for all of us.
Each person’s perspective is unique to them; we may not relate to how they are processing transition, but we do need to extend grace towards them.
We should remember to try to gain an understanding from their view.
