LBrooks
Hanging Out With Jesus Podcast, teaches you how to develop spiritual disciplines, routines, and manage your time by creating space in your life to consistently grow in love with God, neighbor as yourself, while navigating the complexities of daily living. Believers live in a world that’s fallen. Trying to decide what is right, truth, and righteous can be daunting without guidance from the Holy Spirit. You will practice spiritual disciplines and leave with next steps on how to implement them into your daily life without it becoming one more thing to do. Join host, Lyvita, as she and her guest encourage you on this journey called life. Her contact and more support can be found on www.lyvitabrooks.com
Navigating life's trials often feels like a solitary journey, but it's during these times that we're called to lean into our faith and trust the path God has laid out for us. My own journey through divorce and the ensuing search for purpose has been a testament to this delicate balance. I open up about the struggles of discerning divine messages from my desires, and the importance of intentional quiet time with God to silence the negative self-talk that can easily spiral out of control. Inspired by the teachings of Isaiah 43:18-19, we examine the courage it takes to leave the past behind and step boldly into the future God's planned for us.
It's my hope that this episode will serve as a reminder to consistently seek out time with Jesus, embracing the peace that comes with surrendering to His divine plan.

When life feels like a glob of mess, sometimes all it takes is a stroke of creativity to clear the mind. It's my pleasure to introduce you to Kelly Brinkman, the imaginative force behind "Art for the Soul," in a conversation that reveals how art can be a profound conduit for spiritual renewal. As you listen, you'll be transfixed by the way Kelly compares the malleability of clay in an artist's hands to our own transformation under divine guidance. We weave through the pages of her book, sharing personal moments of struggle and the creative forms of prayer that have deepened our connection with Christ. From painting prayers to understanding the cleansing power of water in art and spirituality, we uncover uplifting practices that promise to rejuvenate your faith and clear your mind.
Kelly and I discuss the parallels between centering clay on a potter's wheel and centering one's life on Jesus, emphasizing the importance of intentionality in both pursuits.
Kelly is offering a special downloadable gift to enhance your Bible study in a creative and engaging way. Join us for this inspiring journey, and discover the transformative potential of art in your spiritual life.

Imagine finding hope in the most challenging moments of your life, and transforming that hope into a purpose that reaches beyond yourself. That's exactly what my double cousin, Natalie Smalley, did. In a time of intense personal struggle, Natalie discovered the profound difference faith and an in-depth study of the Bible can make. Together, we dive deep into the spiritual discipline of Bible study, focusing on the powerful message in 1 Corinthians 2:6-9, revealing God’s plans for us all, no matter our pasts. Natalie's inspiring journey of healing, and her father's words, “don’t live beneath your privileges” sparked a transformative power in her prayer and study life.

This episode talks about how the Israelites went "Baal-hog-wide" happy after Gideon passed and ways we can avoid going down that same road. What we leave behind is vital and should be taken into consideration, especially for those believers following after us.
Take your mission for Christ seriously and journey knowing that others will follow.
There is only one God, God Almighty, the Creator of All, the I AM That I AM. And yet, we don't obey His voice but cry to Him when things get to messy for us to handle. The point is that we are worshipping other gods (things, people, etc) which have no power.
Gidion’s father Joash stood up for him when the townsmen wanted him dead. As believers are we standing up for those who are being persecuted for righteousness sake? This episode is talking about standing up for the rights of those who are following Christ.
This is episode 76. And as I mentioned on the last episode #75, this is a three part series which has changed to a four part series. Listen in to see why?
It's the second in the series.
Two weeks ago we learned about Gideon’s calling and how it relates to what’s happening with us in today’s collapsing culture. In this episode, I want to talk about how one man’s stand against the enemy helped another rise to their purpose. In other words, let’s talk about who are you standing up for so they can walk into their purpose?
In celebration of National Day of Prayer. Let's continue praying together, again.
Join over 15 Intercessors praying for America and the world. Let's pray together before the Lord asking for His blessings on our country as me repent of our sins. 2 Chronicles 7:14 says, "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land."

Questioning God, can we? What can we learn from Gideon’s calling about asking God questions for such a time as this? It’s first in a three part series about knowing who you are and the importance of Bible Study. The first is focused on Gideon’s questions to the angel of the LORD.

Almost every New Year, we begin it with a new Bible study, resolution, diet, stop smoking, or something we want to do in order to change the direction of some area of our lives.
I’d like to introduce to you another way to start your New Year off with eliminating the clutter that causes you to become overwhelmed, unorganized, and putting “doing too much” at bay. I’m talking about getting on a Spiritual Diet for 21 days so you can plan the year with your Lord.
Saints, now is the time to do something different. Now is the time to go above and beyond what we are used to doing. Now it’s the time to challenge ourselves to become a more mature Christian. It’s time to move out of drinking milk to meat in those areas of your life that you have not given fully over to the Lord.
Saturday, January 8, 2023, join me and others by participating in the 21-Day Spiritual Diet Challenge. Just receive the material as a download and get started on January 8, 2023.

Who are you and Whose are you are vital to understanding your purpose in life. Messing this up will have a great impact on your future. Host, Lyvita Brooks uses the book, Your Purpose is Calling, by Dr. Dharius Daniels, to help you discover your unique identity so you can identify the things you are doing too much of and stop rushing through the things you should be doing. In this episode, the spiritual discipline of silence and solitude will be your take away.
The definition and purpose of marriage has changed drastically from its beginnings. So what is the biblical view of Marriage? How did it get started? What scriptures support marriage? What constitue one being married? When are you really married, biblically speaking.
This episode takes nuggets from Beyond the Circle series, written by Ted Dekker, to encourage believers to learn more about who they are in Christ. We are a powerful nation of people who keep forgetting who we are and whom we serve. Let’s begin practicing what we preach.
The host, Lyvita shares AHA moments in her unusal way of reviewing books as they relate to growing in the understanding of who you are as a person and your relationship to the LORD.
Suicide, cutting and mental illness are on the rise. In this episode Lisa Campbell, a licensed Social Worker, joins host, Lyvita Brooks to discuss 4 things. First, understanding the terms, warning signs, who might attempt suicide and lastly, there is another way of relieving your pain because life is worth living. The Suicide and Crisis Lifeline or Hotline is 988.
Saints, this episode is not about rather a person is saved, if they cut themselves or die from committing suicide or have a mental illness. Nor is this episode about, if one loses their salvation if they do commit suicide or die because of it. There is enough information and discussion about that on other podcasts, blogs, magazines, medical information and research, and the National Suicide Prevention and Mental Health Advocacy organization website.
Some of us think that Christians should be the "FREE- est" people in the world from dealing with the problems of suicide, or cutting, even mental illnesses. Why? Because Christians have surrendered to the will of God through Jesus Christ. The truth is, Christians are not immune and it all depends on the one thing only God can see, but man can't...a person's heart.
The key is developing an on-going relationship with Christ through His word. Then applying His word. One's heart, your heart, your heart's motive, only God knows the truth and you in part. Don't get me wrong in Christ Jesus, you will find hope not a "magic pain-reliever" but the truth. The love, security, and hope you carve are found in Christ Jesus. How much of His love, security and hope you receive will depend on you, even though He has more than an abundance.
And yet this episode is not about that either. It’s about awakening you to the reality that there will be some Christians that will commit suicide and some will cut themselves, even our youth. We share tools and resources to help if it happens to you or someone you know, and the signs. We are not medical doctors nor are we giving medical advice. These are our experiences as educators, social worker, and believers in Christ.
Once again the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline is 988. Shalom.
So where are you in the family of God? Are you growing or mixing Christianity with man’s wisdoms, ideas and ever changing trends? Do you think of yourself as an immature believer or a mature believer? Something to ponder.
What is Ministry? Is that specifically for pastors? No, every follower of Christ Jesus has a ministry. In this episode we first discuss the definition of a mature Christian then move on to understanding and defining ministry. Knowing that you have a purpose in life, a ministry, is another blessin in being a child of God.
Saints, are you having problems reading your Bible? What things are hindering you? Are you easily distracted? Are you finding studying the Bible is even more difficult than reading it? Could ADHD be a factor? Our guest, Elad Shapira, who is a Spiritual Director and Formation Coach, with host, Lyvita Brooks will help you identify if you are lazy or if there is something else, afoot, as well as, ways to overcome the hindrances.
The subject of pride can be confusing. What about boasting and saying “I’m proud of you”? What does the Bible say about pride? What does unhealthy pride look like for a Christian? Join guest Kristi Gaultiere with host Lyvita Brooks discuss how to recognize pride’s sneaky maneuvers to get you off track. They don’t stop there but share how to stay on track and what to do when you do fall.
Missionary work, Church planting, what is that really? Guest Alayu Dubale and host Lyvita Brooks discuss their definitions, differences, how you know you are called to this type of ministry, and more. Churches rather a group of people or YOU, are called to go make disciples and teach them how replicate what you are doing in building a church. Church planting is more than starting a church, it’s starting a church with new converts, even in a pandemic.
A father’s passion can change a child’s perception about their world and life just by being present. Guest Michael Andrew, former football player and now author of a children’s Bible, has much to say about a father’s love for his children.

God has a unique way of calling us to Go and Do. Guest Tanya Jones and Host Lyvita Brooks will inspire you to do just that. The interesting thing about this episode is that it was to focus on the milk and meat of God’s Word and instead he provided a testimony to prove that there is a difference. Tanya shares how God brought her back to himself.
Are you a spiritual, worldly or carnal person? Is there such a thing as a carnal Christian? Join in the discussion with guest Reverend Quinda Richardson and host Lyvita Brooks as they analyze the different labels given to Christains, along with "levels" vs "maturity".

Christians, we have forgotten who we are and whom we serve. We have become intertwined with the lust of the flesh, pride of life and lust of the eye until we can't see straight.

Sin has become a dirty word in our culture. People are pretending to be righteous while trying to cover up their mess.
