Made to Pray Podcast
Co-Hosts Karrilee & Lori believe that all of us are made to pray! They are both passionate about prayer and believe it is a lifestyle & it should be our first response, not our last resort! In this podcast, they will talk about prayer, and then they'll actually pray! Sometimes it will be just the two of them, but sometimes they will invite a special guest to the podcast to share a teaching or testimony as well as to join in with them in prayer! So whether you are passionate about prayer already - or just curious... we invite you to come along with us on this journey of prayer!
Welp - since we dove in last week and talked a bit of politics, we figured we may as well dive into another hot topic. We realize this is a HUGE issue and one that may need to be revisited at some point soon. We don't want to call it a series because we would rather not continue on here but as you know, we let the Lord lead us - so we shall see!
We talk a little about the recent exposures of sin of church leaders and - sigh... it's a tough one. Karrilee reads a recent statement written and released by James Goll and the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders (ACPE) and she and Lori talk a bit about the need for Prayer and Repentance from the top down in the Church!
Here is a link to the Prophetic Word that James Goll references in the letter read in this episode:

Welcome Back to the Made to Pray Podcast, where we believe that you and I were made to pray! We were created for relationship and conversation with God - and He loves to hear us pray! In this week's episode, we invite special guest Tiffany to join us around the table as we pray for small business owners and the economy and talk about the importance of Prayer and how it matters!
Tiffany is the owner of Whimsical Details - a boutique downtown, located at 30 N 2nd St. - right next door to Second Street Grill. This shop is one of Karrilee's favorites and when Tiffany made a post, offering a prayer box in her store for people to come in and write a prayer request so she could pray for them --we knew we wanted to hear more from her!
If you are a local listener, we encourage you to pop into her brick-and-mortar storefront downtown, and if you are not local - check out her store website to see just a few of the Collections the boutique has to offer!
And - as always - listen, lean in, and pray along with us! Pray for small businesses, pray for the owners, and for the economy... and ask the Lord just how YOU can offer Prayer in creative ways to those around you!
Be blessed,
~Lori & Karrilee~

Welcome (back!) to the Made to Pray Podcast, where we believe that you and I were made to pray!
We wanted to pray blessings and cover all aspects of motherhood as Mother's Day approaches. We understand that while for many, this is a day of celebration -- for some, it is a very difficult day -and we wanted to cover you in prayer no matter how you feel about this 'holiday'! Whether you have a great relationship with your own mother, or children --or the exact opposite... or whether you are a Step Mom, Adoptive Mom, Auntie, friend, etc.-- we all mother and we have all been mothered. Let's press in and pray and honor those who did it well in our lives, and let's pray for those who did not. Let's agree in prayer for those longing to be Moms, and those grieving loss as Mother's Day arrives on Sunday!

Welcome! In this week's episode, our co-hosts Lori and Karrilee once again just dive right into prayer! Grab something to sip on... and maybe even something to write on along with a pen, lean in, listen, and pray along with us!
At the end, Karrilee encourages you to pray and ask the Lord a few questions... so stick around a little longer and continue in prayer, as we pray for protection and peace - because no matter what is going on in or around you, we could all use God's Protection and Covering, and His gift of Peace!

~Karrilee & Lori~
Welcome back to the Made to Pray podcast! In this week's episode, we revisit a familiar topic - Forgiveness! We know... We just did a two-part series on Forgiveness in Nov/Dec of last year, and it seems it is STILL very much on the Heart of God that we actually deal with this stuff in this season! Whether you have done the work and have kept a short account and feel like Forgiveness is not a struggle for you, or this is a challenging subject and something you are battling - we encourage you to tune in, lean in, listen and pray... and then, journal it out... and listen and pray again! (Rinse and Repeat as necessary!)
Listen, sweet listeners and praying friends... the enemy did NOT want this one to be released. I won't even get into all the ways he attempted to keep this from you. However, that fact alone should make you want to listen closely and take some notes!
We are praying for you this week... believing that God is speaking and helping you to work through some things SO THAT you will walk in more freedom, more grace, more joy, and more Kingdom than you have up 'til now!
Until next week,
Be Blessed!

Your Made to Pray Podcast co-hosts!
Welcome back, friends and pray-ers! We are honored each week to have you join us here... chatting a bit and praying together! We believe things happen when we pray - in general, sure - but also specifically each episode when we come together and pray!
This week, - as you will hear! - Karrilee is battling a sore throat/cough combo... we're not sure why the sound was off a bit but it just may be the Kindness and mercy of God to your ears! ;) Even with the uneven sound, this episode is worth listening to a couple of times! Take notes... pray with us and then again on your own, covering whatever He stirs up in you. We believe Kindness and Mercy is pursuing us in this season!
We also did not intend to pray about Identity - but it just always seems to come up!
We have covered it with more intention in the past episode (Season 2, Ep 22) with Guest Co-host Destiny, so, if it struck a chord - maybe go back and re-listen to these as well!
Until next week,
Be Blessed!
~Karrilee & Lori~
Welcome back to the Made to Pray Podcast! Join our co-hosts Lori and Karrilee as they discuss - and pray! - about the Kindness & Mercy of God! They discuss how oftentimes being Kind and being Nice are not the same thing --and only one of those is the fruit of the spirit! They talk about the commercial He Gets Us and how Jesus desires more than that... He gets us, yes - and thank God! But He also heals us, delivers us, changes us, saves us, redeems us... Join in as we talk about Kindness and Mercy - and then pray for some, too!
Welcome back to the Made to Pray podcast, where we believe that you and I were made to pray! Join our co-hosts Lori and Karrilee as they lean in and talk about --and pray about!-- the Glory of God!

...or maybe this should be titled Another One Where We Pray for the Church! Listen... we know... church can be hard... it can be hurtful and lonely and confusing. AND we also know it can be heaven on earth and it can be full of healing and community and family and grace. We are praying about Church (Big C) and asking the Lord to show us what HE calls church - because we suspect it may be broader than you think! So whether you are plugged in and love your church, or you haven't been to a building in years, or you have never really even considered going to a Sunday service (or haven't considered going to a Sunday service ever again) -- we hope you will lean in and listen... pray with us and see what God will speak to you!
Church is His idea... WE are the Church... He calls us His Bride - and we know He doesn't ever give up on us! Maybe - just maybe, He calls Church more than what we have reduced it to and maybe - just maybe - He has more for us!
Don't forget to Like, Follow, Subscribe, Rate, and Share... All the Things really help get this little podcast out in front of new potential listeners/pray-ers... and Lord knows we need more pray-ers!

Have you tapped into a little bit of Christmas Wonder yet? Has Joy crept in or are you battling to feel the magic of the holidays or even a tiny bit of the Peace that was promised?
In this week's episode, Karrilee and Lori talk about how so many are struggling to find those warm, fuzzy feelings of Christmas this year! With budgets stretched thin and patience, too -- with the commercialism of Christmas and the stresses that seem to come with the season, we wanted to carve out 30 minutes to pray and encourage you to find ways to slow down and remember the actual Reason for our celebrations! So grab something to sip on and lean back, listen in, and pray along... and know that we are continuing to pray for every one of you as the holidays unfold!
May His Peace and His Presence be the gifts that bless you the most this year!
Welcome to the Made To Pray Podcast where we believe God LOVES it when we pray! He loves to hear our voices and to spend time with us... He desires to meet with us and to have a conversation with us as we pray! That said, we felt like Forgiveness is such an important HUGE topic and we didn't go over many Scriptures last week, thus - a part two! In this episode, we go over a few verses and talk a bit more about how to know if you have actually forgiven someone, as well as give a couple of tips to put into practice while you are in the process of forgiving! Listen in and pray along and don't forget to share with anyone you think would be blessed!
Show Notes: Unoffendable by Brant Hansen
Welcome back to the Made to Pray podcast where we believe that you and I were made to pray! We were created for relationship with God and we believe that our walk and friendship with Him grows stronger when we have conversations with Him and share our hearts! We believe when Jesus said His Yoke is Easy and His Burden is Light, it was an invitation to trade up... to lay down the heavy burdens, worries, and fears - hurts and hang-ups - and to hand them over to Jesus instead. A huge part of that process includes Forgiveness -- both receiving it and extending it! In this week's episode, Lori and Karrilee talk about the importance of Forgiving (and how it is not the same as Forgetting) and they lead us in prayer!
Join us around the table and pray with us on this important topic and then share this episode with anyone you think it would bless!
Happy Thanksgiving Week, Friends! Join Lori and Karrilee as they talk about - and pray about - Giving Thanks and having a grateful heart! Pray with us into this week and all that it may hold for you... and take a few extra moments throughout your days to stop and give thanks, counting blessings and gifts, and acknowledging how God is showing up for you and reminding you of His Presence!
Welcome to the Made to Pray podcast, where we believe that you and I were made to pray!
Karrilee has been fighting off a bug for a few weeks and we all decided to make her rest her voice this week! Join us in praying through this episode that originally aired during Season 1 about Healing! Pray for yourself, your family and/or friends, (us), --anyone you know who needs a Healing touch from God! In fact, if you leave us a Direct message or comment on Instagram or Facebook, we will gladly come into agreement with you and pray along with your request - for yourself, or for a friend or family member... it is always an honor to join with you in prayer!
We will be back next week with a brand new episode with our co-hosts Lori and Karrilee!
We are happy to welcome back to the podcast special guest Autumn Torres! Autumn was with us on a special 4th of July episode and we wanted to have her back before the elections! We talk a bit about the process, the candidates, the importance of voting, and how the system works... we encourage you to fill out your ballot and use your voice to vote! It really does matter. These 'smaller' elections impact your local communities in such huge ways! It's easy to shrug off elections for city council or school boards, but as we have seen over the last few years especially -- these are the councils and boards and positions where politics truly impact a community! However you vote, whichever way you 'lean'... we encourage you to vote --and pray! Pray for the process, the counting, and the results... and pray for the candidates - those who win and those who lose! Pray with us in declaring that we are "one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all..."
With all that is going on around the world... and with our co-hosts feeling a pull to pray for Peace - we are honored to welcome back to the podcast our friend Kathy Bricel! Kathy has been on the podcast previously (Season 2, Episode 23 about Listening Prayer) and she is a gifted teacher who has poured out and ministered both in our Valley as well as traveling to speak and teach. She had the joy and honor of going to Israel in June of this year, so we were excited to have her share a bit about her trip there and to get to pray for Israel with her. Join us and prepare your heart to receive... this episode is a little longer than usual -- but we encourage you to make the time to sit and listen, and of course, to pray along!
Welcome back to the Made to Pray podcast where we believe that we are all created for prayer... We believe God desires to talk with us - to hear our voice as well as for us to hear and know His Voice, too! We invite you to join us today as our co-hosts talk and pray about God's supernatural Protection, Provision, and Peace! We tink we could ALL use some extra of each of those things!
Don't forget to Share, Follow, Rate, & Review to help grow our audience and sitr up a hunger for prayer!
Join our co-hosts Lori & Karrilee as they talk about and then pray about issues of Pride, as well as the idea of praying through the Psalms. There is so much power when we pray, declare, read, or sing the Word of God. We encourage you this week to listen and pray with us here, and then open the Bible and pick a psalm or two or pray and ask the Lord to lead you to a Scripture and pray through it several times this week! We also encourage you to ask God to reveal any areas of pride within you so that you can humble yourself, be honest with yourself and with Jesus... press in, friends! Now is the time!
Join our co-hosts Karrilee and Lori as they discuss the need for spiritual discernment and our need to remember that we are living in a spiritual world, with spiritual battles going on all around us and sometimes within us! Listen and lean in and pray with us for Protection and Covering... and for the Lord to reveal any open doors or entryways that we may have opened unaware that need to be closed! We are spiritual beings living in a spiritual world and we think that oftentimes, we forget this truth - or think the realms are somehow separate, however, the reality is they intermingle all around us on the daily... We believe the Lord wants to open our eyes, give discernment, protect and cover us, and cause us to hear and follow His lead more than anyone else's! We believe we are made to pray and called to become more and more like Jesus! Listen in and pray with us!

Welcome Back to the Made to Pray podcast - a podcast about Prayer, and a podcast to pray along with! Our co-hosts Lori and Karrilee talk a bit today about having the discipline to set time aside to pray with God. Whether it is in the morning with your first cup of coffee or tea, during a commute in your car or a train, or in the evening as you unwind from the day... they encourage and challenge us to make it a discipline every day! Start small if this is not something you already do! Set a timer for just 5 or 10 minutes and learn to be consistent and then increase your time as you are able! If you want to hear God more clearly... if you want to press in and grow in your relationship with Him... and if you want to see God more actively in your life --it all comes back to having a discipline to spend time with Him!
Don't forget to Like, Follow, Share, and Review the podcast! This is not only encouraging to our co-hosts, but it also helps the algorithm to invite new listeners and grow our audience!
Here are the two books mentioned in this week's episode:
Holy Habits by Noah Herrin
(That Sounds Fun Podcast with Annie F. Downs and Noah Herrin)
Celebration of Discipline by Richard Foster
Welcome back to the Made to Pray podcast where we believe that we were all created with purpose, for purpose --and one of those purposes is to talk with God! We believe that Prayer is a two-way conversation with the Lord and as much as we long and want to hear His Voice - He longs and wants to hear yours (ours) as well!
In this week's episode, our co-hosts Karrilee and Lori talk about the necessity and longing to see Miracles - both big and small! Grab a journal or something to write on and listen and pray with us as we press in and ask the Lord to work signs and wonders and miracles for us and through us in greater measure! (And we ask Him to remind us of testimonies we can share with others of how He has come through for us in the past!)
Have a blessed week, and don't forget to Like, Subscribe, Follow, and Share the podcast so others can experience the Power of Prayer as well!

P.S. This episode was recorded last week and we did not realize that today (the release day) was Patriot Day - 9/11. Please know that we are praying and encourage you to pray over our country and for the families affected by 9/11. We will not forget.
Join our co-hosts and prayer partners, Lori & Karrilee, as they talk and then pray about the need for us to put our Trust in God! There is so much going on in our world - in our own lives, in our nation and world... we need to stir up our trust and faith and begin once again to anticipate and expect God to show up and show off! The time is coming soon and we want to make sure that we are trusting in GOD and not something or someone else! Grab something to sip on and join us in prayer!
In this week's episode of the Made to Pray Podcast, our co-hosts Karrilee and Lori pray over the start of the new school year! Listen and pray along as they cover teachers, staff, students, & families/parents! Whether you have kids or grandkids of your own, you work in the system, you are a Homeschool family, or you are far removed from the back-to-school season, we can ALL pray for this generation and all that they are facing as they transition from summer to school once again!
Season 2, Episode 33
Welcome to Part Two!

Season 2, Episode 32
We're pretty sure this one will be a 3 or 4 parter... but to start things off, our co-hosts Karrilee and Lori share a bit about their first encounters with the prophetic gifting and talk a little about what that is... then they pray that we will all feel that gift stirring up within us and be bold to speak out what God shows us! Grab something to sip on, sit down and listen in and pray with us - expecting and anticipating God to meet you and speak with you... and say your name, this week!
The gift of Prophecy is given by God to encourage and uplift the church... and we don't know about you all - but we are willing to admit that we need to hear from Him in this season (--in every season, actually!). We are praying for you and believing with You that God will recalibrate the rhythm of your heart to beat with His and that He will fine-tune your ears to hear His Voice more clearly!
Season 2, Episode 31
Welcome back to the Made to Pray podcast, where we believe that you and I were made to pray! Our co-hosts Lori and Karrilee talk about the importance of knowing the Bible, spending time in the Word, reading (& memorizing?) Scriptures, reading your actual Bible (not just on an app!), and living your real-life life! (And then, of course, they pray and invite you to join with them!)

Join our Co-Hosts Karrilee & Lori as they talk a bit about the importance of paying attention to our self talk and the words and thoughts we let run wild... and then they lead us in praying for encouragement and red flags so we can change directions and quit coming into agreement with our enemy and giving him power and access! We invite you to listen in and then pray along in agreement! (And then - intentionally pay attention this week to where your thoughts and comments are leading you!)
Season 2, Episode 29
This one was just a matter of time, however with all the buzz around Sound of Freedom and more and more talk about child, sex, and human trafficking - Lori and Karrilee sit down to discuss it a bit and then, of course, to pray against it! Join in as we pray for deliverance, for justice, for the lost to be found and set free, and for perversion and addiction to be broken while righteousness and repentance takes a front seat once again! My, how we need God in this world! This is no easy topic... it is heavy and hard and the temptation is to shake our heads and look away. But we can not. As Jim Caviezel says in the movie, "God's children are not for sale!" Rise up, prayer warriors, and storm heaven with us!
SHOW NOTES:
Karrilee mentioned a handful of organizations and ministries she has partnered with in the past or is currently supporting... this is BY NO MEANS an exhaustive list, but it just may get you started! This is an overwhelming epidemic, but together we can change the world - one life at a time!
Operation Underground Rescue (OUR/Tim Ballard)
Women At Risk, International
A21 Campaign
Mercy House Global
ViBella
Women of Worth
Freeset Kindred Apparel
JOYN Bags
International Justice Mission
Love146
These are just a few, but we encourage you to ask around locally as well. This is not a 3rd world problem. This is a world problem and as Karrilee mentioned, America is the #1 consumer and the #2 producer of child porn... we simply must do something! Let's start with prayer... and then ask the Lord what else we can do!
We believe that you and I were made to pray!
~Karrilee & Lori~
Welcome back to the Made to Pray podcast, friends! Our co-hosts Karrilee and Lori sit down and talk about mentors and mentoring... They share how we all need discipleship... we all have something to teach or share or pour out, and we all need to be open to receiving and learning and growing when others' share, too! Lean in and listen, then pray along as they pray for God to bring people into our lives and across our paths who we can mentor, and those who can mentor us! We have talked about it before --how it is hard to find your people and to plug in to Community. We DO realize this... which makes it even more vital that we find those who will speak into us and those God wants us to pour into as well! Pray along with us and then go out and keep your eyes and hearts open - looking for who God will put right in front of you! Now is the time, friends, to press in and to be intentional in strengthening real relationships and having real conversations!
Karrilee & Lori are back with a new episode where they pick back up with the theme of REST! They talk about how it is so often a struggle to Rest - even when we want to, and they lead us in prayer and encourage each of us to find some time - whether it be a few minutes or a few hours if possible - to come away with God this week and let Him refresh us! Listen and Pray along - and, as always, share this podcast with anyone you think may benefit or be encouraged by it!
If this episode, or the podcast in general, has been a blessing to you - please consider leaving us a Review!

~Karrilee & Lori~
Lori & Karrilee talk and pray about the importance, the call, and the discipline of entering into His Rest... We encourage you to listen in and pray along here - but then to make it a point throughout the rest of the week to pull away... to slow down for even just a few minutes at a time - and quiet your spirit and make room for Him to refresh you!

Season 2, Episode 25
Lori is back! (However - y'all know we caught up OFF mic before we hit record, so this one is a bit shorter because we ran out of time!). In this week's episode, we keep the celebration of Father's Day going as we intentionally pray blessings over the fathers and father figures in our lives! Join us as we bless the men around us and pray for the Father's Heart to be poured out in and through them in greater measure!
Season 2, Episode 24
(As promised, we did a longer episode on Blessing Fathers last year around Father's Day so if you'd like to lean in a bit more and pray over Fathers with us - you can listen to that episode here: https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/TU4di8DXHAb
Listen, sweet friends! When Karrilee realized that Lori was not quite back in time and she needed to line up another special guest co-host -- Well, she's been talking with this powerhouse about being a guest since Day 1! Seriously - grab something yummy to drink, & if you're able maybe grab a notebook because when Kathy Bricel talks - well, she just can't help it - she teaches! So you may want to take notes on this one!
We talk a bit about what it means to listen for and hear God and then we talk about the practice of Listening Prayer. So once the episode is over, we strongly encourage you to take the info shared here and put it into practice! Lean in and listen, ask Him, and then if it lines up with His Character, His Motive, and His Word --as Kathy said, put some weight on it!

Welcome to the Made to Pray Podcast. We just wrapped up a 3 part series, praying for Family -so praying for Marriages felt like a great follow-up! Relationships are hard and marriage can be a challenge... especially in our busy culture! Pray with us over your own marriage, your friends' or childrens' or parents' marriages, and marriages in general --and please hear our hearts - if you are divorced, separated, widowed, or single and wanting to be married... we get that this is a sensitive topic. We believe Marriage is God's idea - just as Family is His idea! We also know we live in a fallen world with broken and messy humanity and a very real enemy who has come to steal, kill, & destroy. We believe God is a God of restoration, a God who heals, a God who is able to make things right -- and we believe in a God who forgives, who desires to set us free, and who covers us and walks with us in every season. As we lean in and pray over marriages - know we are praying for each of you, too - even though we didn't cover that in this week's episode! This is a topic we hope to dive into in a future episode to give it our full attention! We are not forgotten or unseen!
Season 2, Episode 18

It is a shorter episode again... but they promised to get back on track with a full episode next week as they press in and cover Family for Part Three!

Pray with us - and then press in and see what God will show you this week as you read His Word!
(Season 2; Episode 8)

Join in as they pray with and for us to experience the Presence of God and as they pray for Pastors specifically in this season! Whether you are plugged into a local church, watch online, or don't have a church --we felt led to cover pastors who are leading --may they make room for Prayer and for His Presence and lead the way! We also cover their families. Pray with us for the pastors in your area and agree with us that this move of God that started in Kentucky will spread like wildfire across this nation! Come on!

(Or grateful for the ones you have?) Pray with us!
When we all sat down to record this episode there were a few different topics on the table - but instead of just picking one, Lori and Karrilee decided to just dive right on in to prayer! We know they let Him lead them as they pray - but this one they laid down their own opinions and - well... they led us in a powerful time of prayer! If anything in this episode stands out to you - let us know! We'd love to hear what is ministering to you as you agree in prayer with us! Until next week, be blessed!

Tomorrow is the Mid-Term elections here in the United States... so today, we encourage you to pray - and then to vote!
It's fine. It's gonna be fine, guys! Lori starts us off with Matthew 17:17 and somehow (--it's in the Word!), Karrilee encourages us all to consider praying and fasting! So grab something yummy (and enjoy it in case that is what God asks you to fast!) and join us for a little chat and some time in prayer!

In this week's episode, Karrilee and Lori talk about and pray about being Authentic in our friendships --with the Lord first, and with others as well! We were not made for isolation or surface-only connections! We are made in the image and likeness of God and our Lord - He goes DEEP! So we share about how many of us are feeling disconnected and alone... but we know we are not --God is always with us, always for us... and we know He desires for us to have authentic friendships that go deep and keep it real and support and guide and encourage one another! If you, too, are longing for more of that --listen and pray with us!
In this week's episode, Karrilee and Lori dive into praying for Families... for relationships with mothers and fathers, spouses, siblings, kids, grandkids, and extended family members! There is so much division in the world and even within our families right now --we wanted to pray blessings and healing... unity and grace over our families and over yours! Pray with us?
Join Lori and Karrilee as they continue to pray over whatever the Lord leads them to in prayer... The goal in this episode (and the one before, as well!) is to show you, the Listener, what it's like to pray as the Holy Spirit leads... to show you how Prayer is or can be an ongoing conversation with the Lord throughout the day and that every time you turn your heart and attention and conversation toward Him - He is there! Whether you listen and pray while carpooling, running errands, folding laundry, cooking dinner, going for a walk or run, etc. -- we encourage you to pray along with our co-hosts and then when the episode is over -- keep the conversation going, remembering and believing that you, too, were made to pray --created for a relationship and conversation with God, your Creator! He LOVES hearing your voice, my friend!

We know... we have seen the posts and heard the murmurs and we feel the negativity... we know some are discouraged, scared, angry... and while we do not discount or discredit their feelings, we do not share them here at this podcast. We believe in focusing on the good and staying thankful == and no matter what your political or religious beliefs are, we can all think of something to be grateful for because we live in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave! We are proud to be Americans and we are oh so very grateful to live in this land!
If you agree, we join you to pray over her with us! We share a little and then pray a blessing over America and her military, her people, the Republic, and you - the listener!

This could have been a two-parter... it's definitely double in length than our 'normal' episodes but we wanted to let you listen in and pray through the whole thing!

Listen & Pray Along!
Karrilee shares the prophetic word the Lord gave her for 2022 and then she and Lori pray into and release an Increase of Spiritual Encounters!

Karrilee & Lori are back a week early... As they prayed about what is going on in the world today, they felt led to change the planned schedule of podcasting every OTHER week and instead, set aside a little time each week to pray together! In todays' episode, they pray for the people of Ukraine, Russia, and all over the world, and they pray for Peace, Protection, Provision, and more. Join us in prayer...
