This week, I pulled out a teaching from the archives. This is something I shared with the ONEHOP team as we were laying the foundation of the house of prayer. What did we want to pour into the foundation? What were the non-negotiables for us? I continue to ask the same kinds of questions in my classroom and family. What has the highest value? What do I want to give my time, attention and resources to? What is the legacy I want to leave? I pray this teaching will enrich and encourage you as you listen.

Everything Jesus claimed to be has been validated by His resurrection. On this episode, I share twelve ideas of what the resurrection means for you. There is quite a bit of Scripture on this episode. Get ready. :)

We have access to God, to His resources and we move His heart when we pray. Prayer changes circumstances, hearts, people, events, destinies of cities, regions and nations. Intercession is God's brilliant strategy for the Church ruling with Him in power.

Every couple longs for a thriving marriage, but no couple naturally falls into a healthy, thriving marriage. It takes work and intentionality to create a marriage full of life and love. On this episode, Kristen shares 10 qualities that are evident in healthy, thriving marriages.

"History belongs to the intercessors..." Walter Wink. Intercession changes the course of history. It impacts families, cities, nations and events. We all want to change the world and wonder how to do it. God has given us the key~ it is agreeing with the will of God to be done on the earth.

We, the body of Christ, desire to walk through the crisis in our nation according to the leading of the Spirit. On this episode, Kristen shares from Isaiah 6, the lesson Isaiah learned about putting his hope in an earthly king. Isaiah is reminded that the success of Israel has nothing to do with its leader, but the King of Heaven! God confronts Isaiah's misplaced trust in Judah's King, Uzziah.

The house of God is not a structure or an organization. Jesus is not coming back to a non-living dwelling place. He is coming back to dwell in the midst of His people because he is relational! Jesus built people. He invested and trained and communed with people. This was His legacy.

Looking at Psalm 23:6 today, David speaks with confidence of his future reality. "Surely Your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." What God has to offer is better than any other offer. God's goodness is unlike any goodness we have ever known. His love is steadfast, loyal and constant. The central theme from Genesis to Revelation is that God wants mankind to be with Him where He is. This is His desire. David has set his mind on the reality of another realm. He knew there was something more. His encounters with God in the tabernacle shifted his priority and focus. Let the words of Psalm 23 become a meditation for your prayer life.

In the midst of conflict and uncertainty, surrounded by enemies, find your table. Feed on God's faithfulness. Feed on His Word. Let nothing get in the way, no distraction, no disappointment, no obstacle. The more time you spend in God's presence, the enemies will lose their power. Feast away!

Praying for your children impacts their life deeply. On this episode,I share 6 P's to pray for your kids from God's Word. Praying Scripture breathes the presence of God into your children's hearts & lives. God's promises to you and your family are found in the Word of God. Your prayers are the greatest legacy you can leave.

When we walk through the darkest valleys of life, all of God's attributes are with us: His grace,goodness,love, faithfulness,tenderness,kindness, strength,power,might,peace,etc. When life overwhelms us, we are tempted to believe that,if we were truly His,we would never travel into such places. The Shepherd of your soul is extremely near to you in the darkest valleys. His authority and love over your life releases strength and peace to your soul, spirit and body.

David shows us the key to being on the right paths. "He guides me..." The key is the Shepherd. He is leading.The imagery of Psalm 23 is intimate. God is not distant. He is near and He is personal.He cares for you and is present with you. He is leading you. As you yield your life more and more to Jesus, He will lead you on the right paths. Stay near to Him.

The origin of our souls says a lot about how our souls are meant to function. "Then the Lord God formed the man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature," Genesis 2:7. God's breath is the essential characteristic of the human soul. Our souls have their source in God, they depend on Him and long for Him. God's essence is in our being and He alone knows how to satisfy the soul.

The Good Shepherd delights in His flock. He makes it possible for you and me to rest, relax, to be content, quiet and flourishing. He cares for us and brings us to places to feed and be nourished. Our lives are alive and full of power when we feast on the lush meadows of His choosing. What are you feasting on? Does it satisfy?

There is power in Psalm 23 that we have not yet experienced because this psalm has been more of a "nursery rhyme" familiarity which has caused us to lose sight of its profound nature. Psalm 23 is David's confession of his surrender to the Lord's leadership over his life. David is portraying a life we were meant to enjoy~ a life in which we lack nothing. This is available to you and me. The secret to this life without lack is faith in God and in God's full capacity and willingness to meet your needs.

On today's episode, at the end of Infertility Awareness Week, Kristen shares their family's story. If you are a momma-in-waiting or know someone who is, listen to be encouraged as you fight for your family. 1 in 10 couples struggle with infertility and for 1/3 of those couples, there is no medical reason found.

Moses is never the same after his encounter with God at the burning bush. His life moves in a new trajectory. Today on the podcast, Kristen challenges you to turn aside as Moses did, to experience God, to hear what He has to say, to mark you in new ways that will affect your life and those around you. We are living in unprecedented times, don't settle for a new "normal", let this be your moment to make a difference that will shift history.

Whose voice defines you? God meticulously prepared everything in the garden with love and tender care to be the ideal home for Adam and Eve to have intimacy with God. Everything Adam and Eve knew about the world came from God. The eyes of God were Adam & Eve's mirror. The reflection of who they were, was seen in the Father's eyes. Then another voice entered the garden scene vying for their worship and authority, to be the voice that defined who they were. On this episode, Kristen poses the question, Whose voice defines you?

At every stage of their lives, our children need & benefit from our prayers. When we pray for our children, we are asking God to make His presence a part of their lives and to work powerfully on their behalf. On this episode, Kristen shares 3 specific things to pray for your children.

Prayer not only consumed Jesus' private life but was at the heart of the message He proclaimed. Jesus spoke of prayer as "when you pray" not "if you pray". Prayer is relational, not transactional. When you meet with God in prayer, His presence changes your life. On this episode, Kristen as she shares three truths about prayer.
