Enter Through the Narrow Gate

Jesus said "I am the gate." But the references to gates and walls found in Scripture don't stop there. What is the spiritual significance of gates and walls and what are the implications for us today? Lauren and Rochelle consider what it means to enter through the narrow gate and to protect our own gates every single day.

Discerning the Voice of God

Simply put, the prophetic is hearing God for yourself and for others. Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 14 that all can prophesy, but how do we weigh a word to discern if it's really from the Lord? Not only that, but how do we move forward and partner with a word once we know it's from Him? Join Rochelle and Lauren for a heartfelt discussion and encouragement to not despise prophesy but embrace it from a place of wisdom and grace.

The Family of God: Part 1

Before God was Creator, He was Father. Since the beginning of time, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit have existed in perfect love together. God's heart in creating mankind was to share His goodness and love and create a family that would put His glory on display for the whole world. Ephesians 2:18-19 tells us that through Jesus we all have access by one Spirit to the Father. Therefore, we are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God. The finished work of Jesus made it possible for you and I to join the family of God — and how we fellowship and interact with one another matters. Join Lauren and Rochelle for a new series on how we can all be more loving members of the family of God. She Found Joy Retreat Update! We have a new application deadline of May 31, 2023. This is a small retreat with spaces for under 10 women (not counting the speakers).

Time for a Heart Check {Holy Spirit MRI}

Happy 2021, dear listener! There is a lot of swirling and noise going on in the atmosphere this year, and the temptation right now can be to fall into anger, bitterness, frustration, disillusionment, discouragement, or despair. More than ever before, we need to be a people who are quick to listen and pray and slow to speak. More than ever before, we need to be saturating ourselves in the Word and presence of God. These are the only things that will allow us to stand firm in this hour and not be uprooted by what we see happening in the natural or the emotional temptation the enemy is trying to ensnare the church with. Join Lauren and Rochelle as they talk about how to do a Holy Spirit MRI and check your heart — tools that are important not just in this season, but every season of life.

Discerning the Seasons & Times

Join Lauren and Rochelle on the podcast this morning for a new episode as they continue our series "Embrace Climate Change: God Is a God of All Seasons."   On the last day of September 2019, we shifted into the Hebrew year 5780. The Hebrew letter for “80” is פ, which is pronounced peh and means "mouth!" In this season, the Lord has made it clear that our voices and words matter and we need to be intentional and careful about how we are using them.    Listen for the rest of their conversation!

Flourishing Mind, Body and Spirit

Lauren Gaskill begins today's episode by giving you some real time updates about the tour and about how to pray for us and how to join us in what God has for the ministry in 2020.  We are re-airing a favorite episode of ours in which, Lauren and Susie Larson take about how intertwined our emotional, spiritual, and physical health actually are.  Spiritual difficulties can have physical consequences and physical illnesses can have emotional and even spiritual ramifications.  So in order for true healing to occur, it must happen holistically--mind, body and spirit.  Susie reminds us that "the storms reveal the lies we believe and the truths we need."
