You were created to carry the presence of God into your world—right where you are, just as you are.

Find the details at ChristineCaine.com/Podcast SHOW NOTES: Living Between the Two Advents We remember Christ’s first coming while longing for His return. This is why believers can face suffering, injustice, and global brokenness with unshakeable hope. Favor Is For Service, Not Status Mary is called “highly favored”—but that favor would cost her reputation, relationships, and comfort. True favor is an invitation to participate in God’s plan, not a promise of ease. Overcoming Fear With “Even If” Faith Mary confronts the fear of the unknown, the fear of loss, and the fear of others’ opinions. Christine teaches the shift from “What if?” to “Even if.” Even if people misunderstand. Even if it costs something. Even if it stretches you beyond yourself. God is faithful. When the Calling Is Impossible on Purpose God doesn’t call us to difficult things—He calls us to impossible things that only He can fulfill. Whether like Mary (young and capable) or Elizabeth (older and barren), both required the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit. Why We Need Each Other: Mary & Elizabeth Mary runs to Elizabeth, highlighting how young leaders need spiritual mothers and mature believers need the fire of the younger. Mary’s Song of Joy: Prophesying Your Future Instead of complaining about cost or difficulty, Mary breaks into prophetic praise—declaring generational blessing over her life. Christine challenges listeners to align their confession with God’s promise.
