Scars, Stories & Songs: Recent Episodes

Mando & Kristina Gonzales

Our Goal is to encourage and weaponize people to help them continue to move forward and reach the victory that Christ has prepared for their lives. To break barriers that have held them back. This podcast is driven by a desire of prevention to help people and expose the enemy’s traps so they can avoid unnecessary set backs. This will be a place of healing, emptying, surrendering and strengthening through the power of the Holy Spirit. This is a place of honesty with wisdom, transparency and truth. A place to protect or maybe rediscover your genuineness and continue to move forward in the freedom that Christ died for us to have.This is not a wreck less place to tell your story and target the people who have hurt you. Thats not what we do here this is a place where the lens of transformation is placed on the individual who the Lord is dealing with and they begin to grow and learn how to pass the test that they are facing according to The will and plan of God for their lives. This is a place where the bitter become better. This a place of transformation to be remade and empowered to continue to walk in freedom. We want wounds to become scars and your scars to turn into your song of worship so you can praise the Lord and give Him all the glory.

R.I.P. 
Rest in peace it’s time to kill the worry in our life!
Today we believe God is going to give you a paradigm shift. 
A fresh perspective of what you have been going through and God's plan for us. If you have stepped out by faith into a new level and it seems like \all hell has broken loose against you? God's got a plan and these episodes are for you.
In this season of deep transformation God is preparing us for the harvest we have been believing for. The miracle you are waiting for may be in the area of finances, health, marriage, family, salvation, occupational, business or deliverance but there’s a pattern that must be broken, a cycle that needs to end and a threshold that must be crossed so we can arrive in our never before level of life, 
We need a breakthrough. 
Faith is the key to this happening! So let's grow together and continue to move forward.

Unity is something that you know when it’s present...and you know when it’s absent.

When there is unity...everything runs smoothly & more gets accomplished...but when there is division & lack of unity...all you have is chaos & confusion. In this new series we will be discussing different topics that Jesus spent speaking to his father concerning unity. 

If there’s ever been a time and a topic worth listening to it’s this topic and the time is now. 

Our title for this next series is Let’s stay together & I am because we are. We pray you will enjoy this series.

The clutter and the layers of sin that we have been discussing the last few weeks can have a negative effect on all of us at times. One particular area I believe the enemy is targetting to remove or diminish in our life is our GENUINENESS.
Through this episode we will explore the life of Simon Peter and learn from his life on the topic of seeing our lack of being genuine so we could become more genuine, protecting our genuineness and much more.

In this podcast we are talking about the breaking through the imaginary wall of what if’s. We are exploring the topic of finding the strength to keep on moving forward and to keep on fighting to get to our greatest level. 
We are teaching ourselves to say Today is the day I break this paralyzed feeling that has me stuck in limbo. The paralyzed  feeling full of fear and rejection that has convinced me that I will be be unwanted and looked at with no value. 
I can’t afford to allow the imaginary what if’s rule my steps anymore. 

Today I shift! Today I get back to a commitment of forward movement. 

Today I break through the imaginary wall that is weaker then I. 

Today I step out, step through, step over and step into the beginning of my never before. Today right now  I retune my ears and allow the right voice to speak to me. Sometimes you need a whisper to destroy a whisper of the wrong voice.
