There comes a moment when faith requires movement.In this powerful message, Lisa reminds us that God hasn't called His people to sit on the sidelines waiting for permission. He has already filled us with His Spirit, established our steps, and invited us to carry His presence wherever we go. Whether you've questioned your calling, battled fear, or felt overlooked, this message is an invitation to rise up and take your place in the Kingdom.In this episode, you'll discover:• why the presence of God always empowers you to move• how fear and insecurity keep believers from stepping into their assignment• the biblical partnership between men and women in advancing God's Kingdom• why your greatest testimony isn't your gifting... it's your love• how religion often attacks evidence of God's work instead of celebrating it• why God isn't asking for perfection... He's asking for your yesYou don't need someone else's permission to obey what God has already spoken. He is still calling ordinary people to do extraordinary things.

What if the greatest obstacle to God's work in your life isn't your circumstances... but the way you've been thinking about them?In this message, Lisa walks through Mark 6, Mark 8, and 1 Corinthians 2 to reveal why the disciples repeatedly missed what God was doing right in front of them. They saw lack where Jesus saw provision. They saw a storm where Jesus saw an opportunity. They were trying to solve spiritual problems with natural reasoning. The invitation of the Holy Spirit is to see differently.In this episode, Lisa unpacks:Why Jesus continually challenged His disciples to think beyond the naturalWhat Scripture means by a hardened heartHow natural reasoning can keep us from recognizing God's activityWhy the Holy Spirit enables us to discern what our natural minds never couldHow to stop filtering every circumstance through fear, facts, and human understandingWhat it means to consider spiritual realities before natural limitationsThe Kingdom doesn't operate by the limits of what you can explain. When you begin to consider what God is saying instead of only what you can see, everything changes. The Holy Spirit isn't inviting you to ignore reality. He's inviting you to see a greater reality. Stay connected: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/buFNYvv

Many believers know Jesus as Savior... but never step into the life He commissioned them to live.In this message, Lisa explores the progression from identity to assignment, revealing why the Holy Spirit doesn't just transform us from the inside out... He also empowers us to carry His presence everywhere we go. Walking through John 20, Acts 2, and Acts 3, Lisa unpacks the difference between the Holy Spirit within us and the Holy Spirit upon us, showing how God invites every believer to move beyond receiving and into demonstrating His Kingdom.In this episode, you'll discover:• why salvation is the beginning, not the finish• the difference between identity and assignment• what Scripture teaches about the baptism of the Holy Spirit• why spiritual gifts were never meant to stay private• how ordinary people become carriers of God's power• why God still calls His people to demonstrate His Kingdom todayGod didn't simply save you to change your life.

There is always more.Stay connected: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/buFNYvv

What do you do when God gives you a clear assignment... and everything seems to stand in your way?In this episode, Lisa unpacks Luke 9 and reveals how Jesus responded when His path was blocked, His mission was opposed, and His followers hesitated. Instead of turning back, He pivoted. Too often we mistake resistance for a sign that we missed God. But sometimes opposition isn't a stop sign... it's an invitation to trust Him more deeply.In this episode, Lisa explores:• how to recognize God's timing in every season• why opposition doesn't always mean you're on the wrong path• the difference between following Jesus and becoming like Him• what keeps us saying "but first..."• why your calling is an identity before it's a destination• how to stop looking back and move forward with confidenceIf you've been questioning your calling, feeling discouraged by setbacks, or wondering whether you've missed God's voice, this conversation will remind you that God's mission for your life is bigger than the obstacles in front of you.Sometimes the breakthrough isn't found by turning around. Sometimes it's found by learning to pivot.Stay connected: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/buFNYvv

What if you invited Jesus into your house, but never learned how to sit at His feet?In this episode, Lisa shares a powerful invitation from the heart of God: come away with Me. Through Song of Songs, Mark 6, Luke 10, and the story of Mary and Martha, Lisa unpacks the difference between being near the presence of God and truly seeking His heart. This message is for anyone who feels busy, distracted, spiritually tired, or hungry for more than borrowed revelation.In this episode, Lisa unpacks:• why ministry should flow from the Holy of Holies, not strive to get there• the danger of living off someone else’s oil• how distraction keeps us circling instead of resting• why God is separating believers who know about Him from those who truly know Him• the power of lingering long enough for the Holy Spirit to rest upon youGod is not just inviting you to serve Him. He is inviting you to come away with Him.Stay connected: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/buFNYvv

The presence of God was never meant to stay behind the walls of the temple.From the Ark of the Covenant in the Old Testament to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the New Testament, Scripture tells one remarkable story. God has always desired to dwell with His people… and now, through Christ, His presence dwells within us.In this powerful teaching, Lisa unpacks the biblical thread of God’s glory from the temple, to Mary, to the Mount of Transfiguration, to Peter’s shadow healing the sick. What once filled a building now fills every believer who says yes to Jesus.In this episode, you’ll discover:• What the Ark of the Covenant represents today• Why the glory of God always produces transformation• The difference between the Holy Spirit living in you and the Holy Spirit moving through you• Why surrender is the doorway to experiencing more of God’s presence• How ordinary believers are called to carry the glory of God into everyday lifeGod isn’t looking for perfect people. He’s looking for surrendered people. The same presence that filled the temple… overshadowed Mary… transformed the disciples… and healed through Peter… is the very presence that now lives within you.The question isn’t whether God wants to move. The question is whether you’re willing to let Him.For the unsatisfied… there is more.Stay connected: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/buFNYvv

What if the greatest threat to your faith isn’t opposition? What if it’s satisfaction?In this message, Lisa explores the holy desperation that marked the lives of those who encountered God. From the beloved searching through the streets in Song of Songs to Zacchaeus climbing a tree just to catch a glimpse of Jesus, Scripture reveals a pattern: those who find Him are often the ones who refuse to stop seeking.The question is not whether God is available. The question is whether we are still hungry.In this episode, Lisa unpacks:• why spiritual hunger is meant to be renewed daily• the difference between experiencing God’s presence and pursuing His heart• what desperation looked like for Zacchaeus and the beloved in Song of Songs• why yesterday’s encounter cannot sustain today’s relationship• how comfort, familiarity, and religion can quietly dull our pursuit of GodFor the unsatisfied, this is an invitation to seek again. To hunger again. To become desperate again.Stay connected: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/buFNYvv

In this episode, Lisa calls believers back to the supernatural commission of Christ. From Luke 9 to Mark 16, she unpacks the shift from disciple to apostle… from learner to sent one… from receiving identity to walking in assignment.This is not just about talking about Jesus. It is about carrying evidence that He is alive.Lisa shares on:• the power and authority given to every believer• why the Holy Spirit upon you is for others• how signs, miracles, and wonders confirm the gospel• why your life should demonstrate transformation• what it means to stop waiting and start goingFor the unsatisfied… this is your charge:You were not only saved to receive.You were empowered to be sent.Stay connected: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/buFNYvv

Some things are not just broken. They look dead, dead.In Part 2 of this message, Lisa continues in Ezekiel 37 and calls believers back to the authority of the Word, the breath of God, and the partnership of the Holy Spirit. God did not just tell Ezekiel to look at the bones. He told him to speak.This episode is a charge to stop prophesying death over your life, your family, your calling, and your future, and begin speaking what God says.Lisa unpacks:• why your words are either releasing life or agreeing with death• how the breath of God brings power where form alone cannot• why the Holy Spirit is your helper, not your doer• what it means to partner with heaven on earth• how God raises an army from what looked hopelessFor the unsatisfied… this is your charge:Speak to the bones.Breathe life again.It may look dead, but God is not done.Stay connected: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/buFNYvv
