For the season finale, Alyssa is doing a part 2 to the last episode all about the problem of evil in our world. However, this time, Alyssa is giving encouragement straight from Scripture on how to endure hardship and how to remember God sees and has not forgotten you despite the hard things you may be facing right now.
Scripture Mentioned:
Isaiah 41:10, Deuteronomy 31:6,8, Romans 8, Genesis 16, 1 Peter 1:3-9
Today Alyssa is jumping into her personal story of her struggle with evil and how God chooses to work in the world around us. Alyssa used to ask the question, "Why does God choose to work through the hard circumstances in our lives, when He could just as easily work ONLY through the good things?" Listen in to discover what God taught her and what ultimately gave her peace.

Hey, all! Welcome back to the Magnified podcast - Detecting the Lies! Today we are jumping into part 2 of the lie, "My body is my own."
More specifically, in part 2 we will be looking at the lie, "You only live once, so satisfy its (your body's fleshly) desires now." Join Alyssa as she takes you through 4 truths (straight from God's Word) on how to combat this lie to satisfy our fleshly desires now.

Hello, all! Welcome back to the Magnified podcast - Detecting the Lies! I am so glad you are here! In today's episode we are jumping into the lie: My body is my own ("It's yours.").
This lie can be a dangerous one as Satan loves to tell us this so that we will take ownership of something that is not our own, instead of choosing to steward something God has only given us for a short time. Join Alyssa as she takes you through three little lies we believe about our bodies and the root sins that lie beneath them all. You will also learn how to use Scripture and recognize where your body story really starts to know how to fight against the lie that Satan loves to use to say, "It (your body) is yours!"

Hello, friends, and welcome back to the Magnified podcast - Detecting the Lies episode 2 of season 2! Today we are jumping in to the lie "I need _ to be happy or satisfied."
Join Alyssa as she takes you through what it means to be satisfied in Jesus, drink from a well that never runs dry, and how our thirst and hunger for God is a way our hearts point us toward Heaven. In this episode you will also discover why Satan uses distractions to distract us from our ultimate purpose in Christ and gets us to worship other things besides the only true, living, and most high God. Also hear more on how to get back into (or start) a routine of reading God's Word and cultivating a lifestyle of open end conversations with God all day long.
Scriptures: John 4:10-13, John 14:6, Psalm 42:1-5, Acts 2:38, Deuteronomy 8:2-3, Galatians 5:24-25, Ephesians 5:18-19,
Satan's Goal: Satan uses right now distractions to move us away from our true purpose as Christians, which is to love and bring others to Christ.
Questions to Journal: Is Jesus enough for me? What am I filling my time with and what am I looking to to satisfy me? What am I chasing after? What idols have I made in my life? What am I placing above God? Is Jesus good enough for me? Do I say Jesus is good enough for me, but I actually live a different way?

Hey, friends! Welcome to episode 1, season 2 of the Magnified podcast - Detecting the Lies! In today's episode we are jumping into the lie "I am ugly."
The lie "I am ugly" is a sneaky little lie Satan will use to make us strive endlessly for the acceptance of others and to ultimately make us forget what our true purpose here on earth as Christians is - to be a light and bring others to Christ. So, join Alyssa as she takes you through some different ways you could be striving for the acceptance of others without even realizing it, how to fight back against these habits we have created with God's truth, and even learn what Jesus had to say about how the world will treat us if we decide to follow Him.
Truth: I am accepted by God
Satan's Goal: To stuff out the light and have the darkness win, and to stop us from sharing the love of Jesus and bringing others to Christ.
Scriptures: Galatians 1:10, Psalm 139:1-6, 2 Timothy 1:7-10, Romans 12:2, Colossians 3:23-24, Matthew 5:14-16, Proverbs 31:30, 1 Peter 3:3-6, 2 Timothy 3:10-17, John 15:18-21, Proverbs 22:4, Psalm 96
Tool Alert: The result of not living for the approval of man is true freedom in Christ. In that freedom, we are able to be a light, serve, love, and ultimately point and bring others to Christ.
Question to Journal: Do we keep our voice and head down when our beliefs are challenged?

Hello, friends! Welcome back to the Magnified podcast - Detecting the Lies! Today we are jumping into the lie unwanted.
Join Alyssa as she takes you through Isaiah 43, Ephesians 1, and Genesis 34 to discover why our purpose should be found in God and not be placed in other things such as family, friends, and the world around us. You will also learn how to fight against the lifestyle of chasing after acceptance from others and why Satan wishes to make us believe we are unwanted.

Tool Alert: Write down all of who God says you are (you can start in Ephesians 1-2 or Romans 8) on a piece of paper - you can also write "I am" or "You are" in the middle of the paper. Place the piece of paper where you can see or easily access it every day (I recommend putting it up where you know you will see and read it every day). Repeat the words of truth to remind yourself who you are in Christ whenever you feel the attacks of Satan.

Join Alyssa as she takes you through the book of Jonah. More specifically, chapter three of Jonah to discover what Jonah's and Nineveh's failures and successes have to do with us and our own lives.

In this episode, we are going to take a look at Revelation 4, Genesis 1:1, and the book of Job to see what it says about God's worthiness to be praised, Jesus' worthiness to save His creation, and what our own heart posture should be towards God and His ruling hand. Enjoy!

Hey, friends! Welcome to episode 6 of the Magnified podcast- Detecting the Lies! This week's episode is all about the lie, or rather the fear, unworthy.
In this part 1 episode, we are going to discover the life changing value of knowing the differences between our inherent worthiness, our worthiness to be called a child of God, and our worthiness to receive all spiritual blessings in Christ! We will also discover Satan's reason for making us believe we are unworthy - to steal our joy and to keep us from experiencing God's presence right here in the now.

Hey, there! Welcome to episode 5 of the Magnified podcast - Detecting the Lies! Today we are jumping into the lie, unloved. If you are someone who struggles with believing you are loved or if you have purpose, this episode is for you!
Join Alyssa as she discovers that our true value and worth are not dependent on how others treat us, but rather on the love God has for us. Through knowing our true identity and worth lies within how our Maker sees us, we in turn can love those around us (even those who have deeply wounded us).

Hello, friends! Welcome to the Magnified podcast- Detecting the Lies! I am so thankful you are here today, and I hope this podcast brings you hope and freedom as you learn to use your gifts to glorify the King.
In today's episode we are jumping into the lie: What I do, doesn't matter. This is a lie that Satan loves to use to convince us that:
1. We are not special, unique, or have been created with purpose (Ephesians 2:10).
2. We have no realm of influence (Colossian 3:17).
3. God is not a powerful, perfect, unstoppable, loving, and a good Creator (Psalm 119:68).
Join Alyssa, as she discovers what it means to use our gifts for the Lord, and to live with the confidence that we were made for a purpose. God is good, and He will bring all things into completion (Philippians 1:6).
