Devotions with Dre

This is part 2 of my 2-part Inner Healing Interview with Corinna Kazdin. In part 1 we listened to Corinna's story of surviving abuse, navigating a dangerous immigration, being a single mom, marrying a pastor she later found out is a narcissist, and despite life's challenges, now landing in a place of peace and health. Today we'll hear HOW God interacted with her and helped her process the pain in her heart.

(Heads up: sensitive themes are discussed and mentioned in this episode, including a suicide attempt and a criminal assault). Have you ever met someone who has been through more than you could ever fathom, yet they're still smiling and praising God? In Today's Inner Healing conversation, we're hearing the riveting back-story of my dear friend Corinna Kazdin. We met in 2006 when I was still in college, and did ministry together at a church plant in the valley (near Burbank, California) for years. She prayed for me fervently when I was sick, and took me to coffee when I had questions about faith. This is part 1 of 2; today she's sharing her back-story, and then next time she'll be sharing how God healed her heart and helped her recover from some very difficult traumas.

Today we're looking at Revelation chapter 13. This is a symbolic vision about the anti-christ, modeled after the Leviathan Old Testament Sea Monster, and his false prophet side-kick. We also look at how most Bible scholars explain the number 666 in this chapter of the Bible.

This is a quick story about my recovery from multiple autoimmune diseases and a gnarly infection that may likely have been Lyme. I still have little health issues here and there but am a fully functioning human again. Here's a quick synopsis of how that looked. There's SOOO much to talk about with regards to physical healing, and we'll dive more into what the Bible says about it in future episodes. Plus, it's often related to Inner Healing, which we're going to look at with more scrutiny after our series on Revelation is finished up. But for now, at least you'll know what happened to me, and why I started looking in to all this stuff with the Lord.

On this episode of Devotions with Dre, we're studying Revelation chapter 11. There are many debates in different faith circles about this chapter - who are the witnesses? who's the beast? does the temple get physically rebuilt before the end of the world? ... all the juicy stuff. Let's see what the different schools of thought are, so we can decide for ourselves.

Ep 45 Inner Healing: Breaking Generational Curses with Vee Elizabeth by Dre Binley

In this episode we begin the middle section of Revelation - the De-creation Section. It's not for the faint of heart, but it is the biggest section of the entire book. We look at the first half of the cycle of trumpets today, and respond to some common questions that tend to come up such as: who are the angels that blow the trumpets, what is the asteroid thing that falls, and what is Wormwood?

Today on Devotions with Dre, we're taking a moment to pray for anyone experiencing distress, especially for those going through the LA County fires.

In this Episode of Devotions with Dre, we're talking about chapter 7 of Revelation. It mentions the 144,000 that are sealed by God, the Great Tribulation, and an amazing and comforting Heavenly scene amidst it all.

On this episode of Devotions with Dre, I interview my mom, Kim Hamilton. She's a big-hearted, caring, wise, loving, beautiful person, and on this episode she shares a couple of her favorite Bible stories. My mom and I walked through the worst of my battle with autoimmune illness together, and on this episode we chat about some things that helped us get through hard times. Make sure you hit subscribe to learn more about inner healing from future episodes.

Revelation Chapter 6 is full of hyperlinks back to Hebrew Scripture, metaphors of God's judgement on wickedness, symbolism, angelic activity, and a long-term theology for our suffering. The spirits known as the "horsemen of the apocalypse" are a popular reference in culture and have been for centuries, but many of us don't know what the heck they really are, so let's take a look at these famous figures.

On this episode of Devotions with Dre, I interview my dad. My dad and I love to geek out about Bible study, so you'll hear us chat about Mt. Hermon and Jesus saying "on this rock I'll build my church." You'll also hear the spiritual origin story of the Hamilton family (Hamilton is my maiden name btw), and how faith in Jesus Christ spread like wildfire from my dad to his parents to his sister and then others. Finally, my dad David talks about how it took him a long time to truly let God lead in every area of life, and stop letting his quick temperament take over. Leave a comment and let me know if this was as heart-warming a conversation for you as it was for me.

Ep 35 Inner Healing Convo: Marcus Robinson's Journey with Racial Conciliation Part 2 by Dre Binley

Marcus Robinson is the founder of Dream and Imagine International Ministries, and my long-time friend. He has interim pastored many international and multi-cultural churches, built and discipled arts communities throughout Southern California, and guest taught at a ton of world events. He also serves at Life Pacific University as the Director of Diversity and Inclusion. In today's episode of Devotions with Dre, we hear part 1 of our conversation about Marcus's inner healing journey, and how it relates to racial conciliation in the world around us.

I created an outline of Revelation (to get the pdf, join my email list at www.Binley.band). In this video I walk you through the whole outline, and share quotes from Bible scholars about how we can properly understand and interpret this beautiful book in scripture.

It was so exciting to catch up with my songwriter friend Bree. We go way back - and her and God go way back too. If you're looking for some wisdom on how to walk through adversity and hear from God in hard times, this episode will help you tremendously. Bree is a successful entrepreneur and musician, as well as worship leader and Christian speaker in southern California. She's also a Crohn's and glaucoma survivor with vision loss who had navigated some serious challenges in life, and had a few really close calls. One thing I've learned as I walk with Jesus is: inspire off of people who have been following consistently, for long durations. They are the “good soil” that God's gospel can really generate within, take root, and grow fruitfully through. I know you'll be blessed by her story of inner healing and faithfulness over the decades.

Ep 28 Inner Healing Convo: Ari's Profound Journey of Faith, Part 2 by Dre Binley

Ari is a close friend and fellow Spirit-Led Christian who has learned how to heal from trauma, generational wounds, and abuse. She has many spiritual gifts, and one of the gifts we talk about in this podcast episode is the gift of Prophesy. We also talk about resting in God, letting the Father guide your healing process, and about exposing darkness for what it is, even and especially when it occurs inside the Church. [You'll hear some white noise that is blurring out identifying words; this is because I had told Ari to feel free to share names, and then later we were advised to consider not doing that, because of the potential of bogus-but-still-draining type lawsuits and such]. You can find Ari on Insta: @ariii_v and on TikTok: @arivialva
