MIDWEEK RISE UP

In a world that never stops shouting, God still chooses to whisper.This episode invites you into the holy hush—into solitude, silence, and stillness—where the soul is strengthened and peace is restored. Drawing from biblical examples like Jesus in Gethsemane, Elijah in the cave, and Hannah at the temple, E walks you through how holy stillness isn't weakness—it's warfare.Laced with Bible verses, this episode is a call to step away from the noise and return to the presence of the One who never shakes, never leaves, and never fails.If your soul feels tired, anxious, or spiritually thin, this sacred pause is for you.Take a deep breath. Press play. And let Heaven speak.We hope that you enjoy this episode. God bless you and Go Rise Up!Shop PROCLAIM's latest drop: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.proclaim365.com/shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join BIBLEin365 and read the entire Bible with us in a year: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.proclaim365.com/biblein365⁠⁠⁠

Recorded live from the 10th annual Young Women's Leadership Summit, this episode is a message straight from my heart to yours. I was deeply honored to speak at YWLS — and even more proud of my husband and the incredible team who have poured a decade into building this powerful movement of truth and leadership.In this special episode, I share a bold reminder: we are not just living in cultural chaos — we are standing in a spiritual war zone. And now more than ever, we need women who are not swept up by the noise of the world, but anchored in the Word of God.This message is a call to revive biblical womanhood — not the watered-down version the world offers, but the kind forged in fire, rooted in obedience, and patterned after the women who came before us: Esther. Ruth. Deborah. Hannah. Mary. Each of them stood in the tension of battle and belief. And so must we.If you're feeling the weight of your season — whether you're waiting, leading, building, or starting over — this episode is for you. May it remind you that God is within you, and you will not fall.Let it stir you. Challenge you. And send you back into your home, your church, and your generation with holy resolve.We hope that you enjoy this episode. God bless you and Go Rise Up!Shop PROCLAIM's latest drop: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.proclaim365.com/shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join BIBLEin365 and read the entire Bible with us in a year: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.proclaim365.com/biblein365⁠⁠⁠

In a world flooded with noise, mess, and mental overload, this week's Monday Meditations calls you back to sacred order. You weren't made for chaos. You were made to be a dwelling place for the Spirit of God. In this bold, pastoral devotional, Erika Kirk leads you through a powerful reminder to rebuild the walls of your life—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.From organizing your home to honoring your body and planning your days with purpose, this episode draws from rare scriptures and deep biblical truths to remind you that you are not too far gone to be reordered by grace. You are God's temple. And it's time to tend to the sanctuary.We hope that you enjoy this episode. God bless you and Go Rise Up!Shop PROCLAIM's latest drop: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.proclaim365.com/shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join BIBLEin365 and read the entire Bible with us in a year: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.proclaim365.com/biblein365⁠⁠⁠

There are moments in our walk with God when the light seems to fade. We stumble, not because the presence of God has left us, but because something has come between us and the Light.In this week's Monday Meditations, we explore the quiet eclipse — the subtle ways fear, shame, and failure drift between our hearts and the face of Christ. Like Peter in the courtyard or David on the rooftop, we sometimes forget the light we've seen in times when shadows fall.But the light has not gone out. It is only hidden for a moment — and even there, God is praying, restoring, and calling us back.If you've felt distant, overwhelmed, or unworthy — this episode is for you. Let's rediscover the true Light that never stops shining, even in the valley of shadow.We hope that you enjoy this episode. God bless you and Go Rise Up!Shop PROCLAIM's latest drop: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.proclaim365.com/shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join BIBLEin365 and read the entire Bible with us in a year: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.proclaim365.com/biblein365⁠⁠⁠

Waiting can feel like silence. Like stagnation. Like abandonment.But what if the delay isn't a detour — what if it's divine preparation?In today's episode of Monday Meditations, we explore what it means to wait with purpose and walk with willingness even when the answers haven't come. Drawing from the story of Ruth, the groaning of Romans 8, and the promises of God's Word, we uncover the truth that God is never inactive — even when we can't see His hand.This is for the one in the hallway between closed and open doors.For the one carrying holy tension.For the one tempted to give up.Let this episode reframe your waiting — not as wasted time, but as a sacred invitation to trust, serve, and hope deeper than ever before.We hope that you enjoy this episode. God bless you and Go Rise Up!Shop PROCLAIM's latest drop: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.proclaim365.com/shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join BIBLEin365 and read the entire Bible with us in a year: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.proclaim365.com/biblein365⁠⁠⁠

This week on Monday Meditations, we walk through the holy fire of suffering and come face-to-face with the unshakable truth: our Redeemer lives. When life feels like a furnace, God's refining hand is at work—not to destroy you, but to purify, strengthen, and reveal His glory through you.In this bold, pastoral reflection, we explore what it means to trust God when the ground shakes and the sky falls. This episode is for the broken, the weary, and the warriors—those who refuse to give up because they know who holds their story.Redemption isn't the absence of pain — it's God's power made visible through itScripture-rich, Spirit-filled, and soul-deep — this is your call to rise in the fire.We hope that you enjoy this episode. God bless you and Go Rise Up!Shop PROCLAIM's latest drop: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.proclaim365.com/shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join BIBLEin365 and read the entire Bible with us in a year: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.proclaim365.com/biblein365⁠⁠

There comes a moment — quiet, piercing, undeniable — when your soul whispers: “This isn't working.”In this powerful episode, we confront the ache of misaligned ambition, the burnout of chasing what was never meant to fulfill you, and the holy invitation to stop, turn around, and walk with God in a new direction.This isn't a message about quitting.It's a call to repentance and revival.To courage.To freedom.To finally stop running East when the sunset has always been in the West.If you're tired, restless, or just ready for something real — this episode is for you.It's time to disappoint the crowd, silence the noise, and rediscover the beauty of a surrendered life.Pause. Breathe. Turn around. God is waiting.

In this episode we step into the heart of who Jesus truly is—not only our Savior, but our Healer. Through tender reflection, biblical insight, and Spirit-led encouragement, we explore how the Jesus who healed in the Gospels is still healing today.Why do so many believers embrace Jesus' saving grace but quietly dismiss His miraculous power? What might happen if we began to pray bold, believing prayers again? Through nature-inspired imagery and gentle spiritual challenge, you'll be invited to look at Jesus through fresh eyes and open your heart to the supernatural life He still offers.Whether you're struggling to believe for a miracle or longing to be used by God to bring healing to others, this episode will encourage you to press in, pray deeply, and rise up in faith.Key themes:– Rediscovering Jesus as Healer– The role of miracles in the life of believers– Healing through prayer– Faith that moves beyond comfort– Living a Spirit-empowered lifeGrab a quiet moment, open your heart, and get ready to encounter Jesus in a deeper way. He's not done working miracles—He's just getting started.We hope that you enjoy this episode. God bless you and Go Rise Up!Shop PROCLAIM's latest drop: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.proclaim365.com/shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join BIBLEin365 and read the entire Bible with us in a year: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.proclaim365.com/biblein365⁠⁠

We follow headlines, influencers, and trends — but are we still following Jesus? In a world obsessed with the next big thing, this episode calls us back to the quiet, dusty road behind the Savior. Walk slower. Look closer. Follow deeper. Let's rediscover what it really means to so closely pursue our Savior that we are covered in the dust of His feet. Questions to ask yourself this week: - Whose dust are you wearing?- Are you covered in the noise of the world, or the presence of the Savior?- Do your days reflect your desire to follow Jesus—or just your desire to keep up?

Whenever Charlie and I have a chance to collaborate on a podcast episode together, they quickly become my favorite. Today we're answering real, unscripted questions exclusively from his members.charliekirk.com audience. We touch on everything from faith and calling, to marriage, to navigating the hard places in life with grace and truth. If you hear something today that feels hard—especially if it's rooted in Scripture—I encourage you to bring it before the Lord. Ask Him to reveal what He wants to show you in it. Sometimes conviction is the beginning of transformation.So take a deep breath, grab your journal or a cup of coffee, and settle in. My prayer is that this episode speaks to your heart and draws you closer to the One who holds all wisdom.Let's dive in.We hope that you enjoy this episode. God bless you and Go Rise Up!Shop PROCLAIM: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.proclaim365.com/shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join BIBLEin365: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.proclaim365.com/biblein365⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Revival was never meant to live on a stage or wait for a spotlight. It was always meant to start quietly—in the surrendered corners of a life fully yielded. In your kitchen. In your commute. In the stillness before the noise.It's not hype. It's holiness. Not a moment. A rhythm. A daily choosing to breathe deeply of His Spirit and burn steadily with His presence.Because when we live in revival, joy returns. Hearts soften. Love ignites—and it spreads.But how do we stay lit in a world constantly burning out?Revival starts with you. Not someday. Not somewhere else. Today. Right here.Because when your heart wakes up—everything around you starts to stir too.Go Rise Up!E

Comparison isn't just a distraction—it's a sin.It's a silent thief that creeps in unnoticed and leaves devastation in its wake—robbing you of joy, distorting your view of God, and chaining your purpose in insecurity.In this episode, we confront the lie that you need to measure up, catch up, or keep up.We'll walk through Jeremiah 17:5–8 and Psalm 1:1–3 to reveal the beauty and strength of a woman who is planted, rooted, and fruitful—not because she hustles harder, but because she trusts deeper.Here's what we're breaking down: Comparison in singlenessComparison in motherhoodComparison in marriageComparison in ministry and callingThis isn't self-help—it's soul help.And today, we're choosing to rise up, root down, and walk boldly in the calling God has uniquely crafted for you.Let's bloom into joy, freedom, and holy confidence—together.

Today, we're focusing on something small—but deeply sacred. It weighs just a few ounces and lives behind your teeth, yet it can split friendships, sow discord, or breathe life into dry bones.We're talking about the tongue.Not just what it says—but what it reveals.Jesus said, “Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.” That means your words are not random—they're reflections. Of your thoughts. Of your beliefs. Of your heart.In this episode, we unpack the spiritual weight of our speech. Why do words have such power? How do they shape the atmosphere around us—and inside us? And what does it mean to live with a tongue surrendered to God?From the fires of James 3 to the seeds of Ephesians 4, we'll explore how holy speech can transform homes, heal hearts, and testify to the goodness of God.You're invited into a sacred pause—a fast from careless words and a feast on grace-filled speech. Let's learn to speak like people who bear the name of Jesus.Let your words become windows—revealing a heart that's been made new.

Let's catch up — straight from the heart. In this special episode, I'm sharing a recent Live Q&A from Calvary OC where discuss all the things — from how Charlie and I first met, to stories about our babies, to navigating life after the election. We also dig into the real stuff like comparison, faith, and what God's been showing us in this season. Plus, I took some powerful questions from the crowd.It was such a sweet and honest time — I hope it blesses you as much as it blessed me. Thanks for listening, and as always… Go Rise Up!

This week, we're reflecting on unlocking gratitude—not from getting more, but from recognizing what God has already given us: His love, forgiveness, new life, purpose in suffering, and the promise of eternity.Join us as we meditate on five truths that shift our focus from what's missing to all we already have in Christ.

In this powerful episode, we dive deep into the choices that define our lives: Will we trust in man and live a cursed life, or place our trust in the Lord and flourish like a tree planted by the water? Rooted in Jeremiah 17:5-8, we unpack the stark contrast between relying on human strength and surrendering fully to God's will.Through personal reflections, biblical examples, and real-life analogies (yes, even house-hunting nightmares!), we explore what it means to truly trust in God—not just on the surface, but with every fiber of our being.Expect spiritual gut-checks, encouragement, and practical steps to cultivate a heart deeply rooted in faith. If you've ever wrestled with control, comparison, or fear of the unknown, this episode is for you.Let's trade fear for faith, self-reliance for holy dependence, and barren living for a life that bears lasting fruit.So today, I encourage you to take the next step toward a fully rooted, fully surrendered, and fully blessed life in Christ.Go Rise Up!ESHOP THE DROP:⁠www.proclaim365.com/shop⁠JOIN THE BIBLEin365 FAMILY:⁠www.proclaim365.com/biblein365

In this episode I just want to encourage you as you go through the "unseen" season of life. Where you feel invisible to God. Don't despise the waiting. Don't mistake silence for absence. God is near, even now. He is working in ways you cannot yet comprehend. Every moment of faithfulness, every unseen act of obedience, is being woven into something far greater than you could ever imagine. You are not on pause. You are being positioned. You are not forgotten. You are fortified. And when the time comes, when the season shifts, you will step into the fullness of His calling, prepared, strengthened, and unshaken.

Loving God with all our heart, soul, and strength is a beautiful command, one designed to deepen our relationship with Him. Yet, when we truly consider what it means, it can feel overwhelming. When we experience a true relationship with Him, nothing else will satisfy our soul. While we will always be growing in our love for God, we do so with the assurance that He strengthens us, renews our minds, and transforms our hearts. And even as we strive to love Him more, we rest in the truth that “we love because He first loved us” (1 John 4:19).We hope that you enjoy this episode. God bless you and Go Rise Up!Shop PROCLAIM: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.proclaim365.com/shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join BIBLEin365: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.proclaim365.com/biblein365⁠⁠⁠⁠

“Who designed your outfit?” or “What brand are you wearing?” The world chases after couture, but as Christians, we are called to be clothed in something far greater—a garment of praise. When we choose to wear praise, we shift our focus from the temporary to the eternal. Praise is not just a song or a moment in church; it is a lifestyle, a spiritual covering that reminds us of God's goodness in every season. The world may define status by outward appearance, but God looks at the heart. Instead of being draped in anxiety, fear, or the pressures of materialism, we are to be clothed in gratitude, worship, and faith.We hope that you enjoy this episode. God bless you and Go Rise Up!Shop PROCLAIM: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.proclaim365.com/shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join BIBLEin365: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.proclaim365.com/biblein365⁠⁠⁠⁠

There is a dangerous message in today's culture that equates love with silent approval. But love without truth is not love at all—it is deception. True Christian love is courageous. It requires discernment. It extends grace while standing firm in righteousness.But what does this actually look like in practice, especially in today's world? How do we love our neighbors when they don't think like us, when they don't vote like us, or when they mock what we believe?We hope that you enjoy this episode. God bless you and Go Rise Up!Shop PROCLAIM: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.proclaim365.com/shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join BIBLEin365: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.proclaim365.com/biblein365⁠⁠⁠

Do you ever feel like you're not measuring up as a mom? Maybe you scroll through social media and see other moms who seem to have it all together—perfect homes, thriving kids, effortless balance—and suddenly, guilt creeps in.

Whether you're a stay-at-home mom juggling little ones or a working mom trying to balance it all, we'll dive into biblical encouragement and practical wisdom to help you find peace, purpose, and joy in the season you're in. You are the mom God handpicked for your children, perfectly equipped by Him to love, nurture, and guide them— embrace that calling with confidence and grace.It's time to let go of the mom guilt and find joy in YOUR journey.

The key is to choose God's way and hold possessions loosely. Jesus warned that “a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions” (Luke 12:15). Money can be a useful servant but a dangerous master. Property is to be used, enjoyed, shared, and given—but never hoarded. Paul reminds us that “the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil” (1 Timothy 6:10). When wealth becomes our focus, it shackles our hearts, hardens our spirits, and blinds us to what truly matters.We hope that you enjoy this episode. God bless you and Go Rise Up!Shop PROCLAIM: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.proclaim365.com/shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join BIBLEin365: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.proclaim365.com/biblein365⁠⁠⁠

We sit down together at AmericaFest 2024 discussing a multitude of topics, but mostly explaining what this past year has been like for us, as a family, individually, and also the power of literally surrounding everything to the Lord and saying, "Here I am, Lord. Use me." But, be prepared, because God will do just that, use you, in the most POWERFUL ways.

God loves you—personally, powerfully, and passionately. His love is not distant or indifferent; it is intentional and ever-present. Would He save you only to leave you in fear? Would He teach you to walk, only to watch you stumble? Would He endure the agony of the cross for your sins, only to ignore your prayers? Of course not.Look to Jesus, and you will see the heart of God. Watch as He reveals the Kingdom—His power over disease and death, His ability to restore what was lost, His tears for a broken world, and His authority to bring healing. Whether we recognize it or not, His Kingdom is advancing, His love is unshaken, and He is always listening.We hope that you enjoy this episode. God bless you and Go Rise Up!Shop PROCLAIM: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.proclaim365.com/shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join BIBLEin365: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.proclaim365.com/biblein365⁠⁠⁠

Comparison is a thief. It can steal joy, it can steal self-worth, it can steal purpose. It robs people of peace and contentment. God specifically and sovereignly designed you with unique gifts and specific purpose. No matter what season you're in, be humble and present and find ways to grow. Remember that you're constantly evolving–for better or for worse. Don't let comparison put out the Spirit's fire that is within you. Astonish a mean world with your acts of selflessness and kindness and proclaim the truth unapologetically. Remember, your DNA is NOT a mistake. There is only one you so stand firm in the middle of the chaos in culture. Continue to live each day with a grateful heart, knowing that although you are not in control of certain things, you are deeply loved by the One who is.

We are more than flesh and bone. We are spiritual beings made in the image of God. Jesus is the Son of God and the one and only Way. If you believe this and accept Christ as your Savior, and ask for forgiveness for your sins, then you are a new creation. When Jesus hung on the cross, God didn't just see Jesus–He saw you, He saw me. God wiped our slate clean. He removed our old life and put new life in us. That new life is Christ who lives in us. We are bought by the blood of the Lamb, Christ Jesus, and that purchase isn't just a changed life; it's an exchanged life.  Because Christ lives in you, you are empowered by His spirit to take ownership of your callings, roles and the responsibilities He has ordained for your life. God wants to use you to change lives, to change the world. You are more than equipped by His Spirit to help make heaven crowded. We hope that you enjoy this episode.  God bless you and Go Rise Up!

Hardships do not discriminate and trials come in many different shapes and sizes. When they do hit, remember that you possess the fruits of the Spirit. You have the gift of joy, which is essentially a superpower. You are equipped for the battle. God is for you. He goes before you. He will never forsake you. He will never leave you. His love is unrelenting and immovable. When your joy is challenged, draw near to God. He is the only one who holds all things together. Don't focus on the storm. Don't focus on the lack. The chaos. The loss. Instead, focus on the masterpiece that God is accomplishing and working in you and through you. Don't cling to crisis; cling to Christ.

Growing up I was consistently told that “hope is not a strategy.” This made no sense to me. I thought it was silly to say that it wasn't because we're told in 1 Corinthians 13:13 that the three things that will last forever are faith, hope and love. I kept my own “hope strategy” to myself and fought back on the premise I was repeatedly told. Choosing hope will be more difficult at certain times than others. Sometimes the unexpected hits and it throws us off course and challenges our hope. In these trying times, you must remember that you're wrapped in the loving arms of our God. He will catch you. He will carry you. He will lead and guide you. Remember that the Lord is our Shepherd who renews and restores our souls with hope. In life, we will continually experience the unexpected but that's the beauty of the promise of hope we have in Christ–we will not fail. View unshakeable hope as an adventure with God. Just you and Him in lockstep. Only God can take us into newness of life and opportunity. Only He can guide us into new places, experiences and opportunities beyond our feeble imaginings and wildest dreams. We hope that you enjoy this episode.  God bless you and Go Rise Up!

Repentance is more than just sincere regret or remorse. It's more than just discontinuing a sin. Though we are extended grace continuously, it's essential that we check our hearts and make sure that we don't use it as an opportunity to abuse God's free and merciful gift. Just because you have the Holy Spirit inside you doesn't give you permission to sin, ask for forgiveness and then keep committing the same sin over and over again. Stay close to God. Keep that path clear. Stay within the jet stream of His will. View repentance as the gift that it is. Even though we don't deserve it, it's God's beautiful way of saying, “Come back to me, child. Here is the path back to me. I love you, you are forgiven, now go and sin no more.” We hope that you enjoy this episode.  God bless you and Go Rise Up!

In case you haven't realized, we do not live in a world where everyone is wearing rose-colored glasses and basking in pure utopia. We live on a sinful, fallen earth and we know that the devil is the prince of this world. What God created for good, Satan wants to counterfeit and manipulate and use for evil. Don't blame God for your “Why me?” moments. God may allow a storm to hit your life, just like Job, but He didn't create it. None of us wants to endure pain and suffering but we are equipped to honor and glorify the Lord in the midst of it. We are enabled to clothe ourselves in the full armor of God. We have His Word, we have His Spirit, we have our salvation, and we have His promise that all that is wrong will one day be made right.

So many of us are afraid to be alone. We equate it with loneliness. We avoid it because silence is where our thoughts can sometimes be the loudest and our minds are where the enemy often tries to battle the hardest. Throughout scripture, we read of God appearing to people in quiet places of solitude, giving leaders visions, or even speaking audibly. If you find yourself alone in the quiet, it's great to shift your mindset from selfish pursuits and to instead see it as a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a free moment alone with the Lord. Prioritize time with God above all else. Praise Him and thank Him for all He has done. Offer Him the worship He is due. Ask Him to reveal what He is calling you to do in this season of life. Not last season. Not future seasons. But right now. Whether you're standing on a mountain top or sitting in a valley. Seek Him fully. When you knock, you can be certain He'll answer. He's always ready for you to invite Him in. We hope that you enjoy this episode.  God bless you and Go Rise Up!

Every choice a person makes either stirs hell up or brings heaven down. There are people who are burden-lifters and people who are burden-givers. Sometimes, a disagreement may not be over a positive versus negative viewpoint, rather, it might be over hard-headedness or hard-heartedness. When handling disagreements and conflict, look toward Jesus and follow the example of His life. Don't fight fire with fire. You should put on the full armor of God and you should fervently seek His wisdom. Allow God to refine you through conflict and to teach you healthier and holier ways of dealing with it. Do your best to handle disagreements like Christ. Your only responsibility is to do what is right in the eyes of the Lord.  We hope that you enjoy this episode.  God bless you and Go Rise Up!

Our primary mission field begins within our own homes and circles of friends and family. Oftentimes, this area of our lives is where we experience the most conflict. Without even realizing it, we can wrongly take things out on the people we love and feel secure with because we know their love is unconditional and we take it for granted. It's critically important to take a step back in these situations and remember: your spouse, your child, your friend is not the enemy. The enemy is the enemy. Allow God to rule over your actions and your words. Be intentional about these critical things, especially with those you love, whom God has entrusted to you. Those people are in your corner to help you and love you, not hurt you, and you need to steward those relationships in the same way.

I want to embolden you today to release yourself from your burdens and the burdens of others. Fully relinquish your worries and lay them down at the feet of our loving Father. Once you set them there under His watchful care, don't bend down to pick them back up. Whatever the case may be, you must resist the urge to handle alone what God wants to shoulder with you. When you leave your burdens at his feet, leave them. Let them go and invite Him in. Put your fears, your burdens, your worries into the nail-scarred hands of our Savior. He is more than trustworthy and His love for you is beyond what you can comprehend. We hope that you enjoy this episode.  God bless you and Go Rise Up!

Fasting releases us from the constant distractions surrounding us and the unworthy things vying for our attention. It helps us to be attune to God's voice and to remember that we need to depend on Him every single moment of every single day. He is the one we must rely on for our spiritual, emotional and physical well-being. No other source can satisfy. John Piper explained it well when he wrote that, at its heart, fasting is “an intensification of prayer. It's a physical exclamation point at the end of the sentence, ‘We hunger for you to come in power.' It's a cry with your body, ‘I really mean it, Lord! This much, I hunger for you.' “ We hope that you enjoy this episode.  God bless you and Go Rise Up!

It's a challenge to define “holy fear” or the act of “fearing God'' in just a simple sentence or even paragraph for that matter. It's so important to remember that the fear of the Lord does not drive us away from God's presence–it's the exact opposite. Holy fear is a wonderful, godly fear that lays a firm foundation for us as believers. It involves deep and abiding reverence–profound, adoring respect. Holy fear is a gift of love and even protection, offered to us by a God who cares for us profoundly. Do you want to embrace holy fear? Live in awe of God. Respect and honor Him. Adore Him above anything and anyone else in the universe. We hope that you enjoy this episode.  God bless you and Go Rise Up!

It's so easy to get caught up trying to “fix” our circumstances, relationships or friendships instead of fixing our gaze on Jesus–the only one who can, and someday will, truly fix everything in this broken world. Stop rushing into situations in an attempt to “fix” everything. Instead, breathe, be still, and remember what I've reminded you of before: there's a difference between being still and being stagnant. If you're feeling discouraged or overwhelmed by a storm or valley in your life, remember that you're a human with a limited capacity. Instead of putting pressure on yourself to achieve what only God can, seek Him wholeheartedly. Don't try to climb your mountains alone. With open eyes and a thankful heart, surrender to our God who moves mountains. We hope that you enjoy this episode.  God bless you and Go Rise Up!

Happy Monday Meditations! Today we're going to be meditating on healing. Every one of us is in need of healing, whether it be from sin, sickness, mental affliction, spiritual fatigue, emotional suffering or anxiety and worry. I want to encourage you to reconcile your wounds. Don't run away in fear or avoidance from the problems you face. Healing will elude you if you don't confront the root causes of your struggles. Instead of fleeing, go to the source of endless supply, our God. He is Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals. Ask Him to empower you and strengthen your shoulders, that He would equip you to address the struggles you're experiencing and to tackle your situation head-on. In John 10:10 Jesus says, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” He died for us so that we can live for Him. Heal so that you can continue building for the Kingdom without any hesitation. We hope that you enjoy this episode.  God bless you and Go Rise Up!

Happy Monday Meditations! Today we're going to be meditating on the Seasons of Change. Although seasons of change can be filled with so many unknowns, there is beauty to be found in the reality that uncertainty can also be viewed as possibility. God has great plans for our lives and He is walking alongside us as we undergo these many changes. He is the one that is ultimately in control. He writes the beginning and the end and although we may feel that weapons are forming around us as we undergo seasons of change, we must remember that they will not prosper.

Happy Monday Meditations! Today we're going to be meditating on the power of Joy. Joy is powerful. Yet, it's not in interchangeable with happiness. Happiness is fleeting. It's an emotion that fluctuates with circumstance. But as a Christian, joy is so deeply ingrained into our heart. Joy is long lasting and it satisfies the heart in an extremely unique and incredible way. It's no doubt a characteristic of God's people who are walking in His presence. Joy is an absolute gift and it's given to those who trust in Christ. We hope that you enjoy this episode. God bless you and Go Rise Up!

Happy Monday Meditations! Today we're going to be meditating on how our God is eternal. There's a difference between time and eternity. As humans we live, eat, breathe, sleep, and exist on time. But one day, when our bodies pass or when Jesus comes, whichever first, time as we know it will be no more. Those who are redeemed in Christ will enter into a never-ending day, eternity.  No one made God. The concept of eternity is woven throughout scripture and is revealed to us in God's creation every single day. God is not on trial, he doesn't have to prove his existence to us and to the skeptics. This attribute of God shows to us even more how  He lives outside of time and is in complete control of everything. He is in the past, the present, and the future. Because of eternity we do not have to live in fear or despair, we can rest knowing that we have a God who is in control every hour of today, and every minute of tomorrow.

Welcome to a very special episode of Midweek Rise Up where I get a chance to sit down with my husband Charlie Kirk and hash out some questions submitted on my instagram about being single in today's world and trying to date or find your future spouse. We had some fun banter, but I have to say, there's some tough love in this episode. Some might agree with our answers, others might not, but regardless we wanted to share what was on our hearts.  If you're listening to this today and you're still single, keep going, continue to put God first. Everything else will fall into place. God knows the desires of your heart, trust that, and trust His timing. Whatever is meant for you will NOT pass you by. We hope that you enjoy this episode.

Happy Monday Meditations! Today we're going to be meditating on how our God is incomprehensible. he way God is just, righteous, patient, loving, wise, infinite, kind, and merciful all at the same time is a beautiful example of Him being beyond our comprehension. He is greater than anything you or I could imagine. That alone is so special and shows us that our God is a way-maker and a miracle worker, we need only to put our faith and trust fully into Him.  So today, allow God to be God. Stop trying to write your own story. Put your faith and trust FULLY into God and let the beautiful process of walking in obedience with the Lord unfold. We're not perfect, and we have a lot to learn each new day, but thank the Good Lord, we get another day, God willing, to try again and get it right.  We hope that you enjoy this episode.

Happy Monday Meditations! The attribute of God that we'll be meditating on today will be his Righteousness.  The righteousness of God can be one of the more challenging attributes to understand, but it is truly one of the most important. It is an attribute that God alone possesses perfectly, and we, as humans by our own graces, do not. Charles H. Spurgeon has a great quote, he says "The greatest enemy to human souls is the self-righteous spirit which makes men look to themselves for salvation."It is important that you understand that righteousness is not something that God does, it is something that God is. To put it another way, righteousness is part of God's character.God counts us as righteous based only on the finished sacrifice of JesusWe hope that you enjoy this episode.

Infinite means he is without limits. ​​God knows no restrictions of space, ability, or power. He is everywhere. God is all knowing, all powerful and always present. We are never alone, even on the days that seem tougher than others and we cry out “where are you god?” he's right there holding your hands, carrying you along the path that he has set before you. He is always holding you in the palm of his almighty hand. You are covered, you are loved, and you are protected.  We hope that you enjoy this episode. God bless you and Go Rise Up!

Happy Monday Meditations! The attribute of God that we'll be meditating on today will be his Wisdom.  Fear God. You can have knowledge without wisdom, but not wisdom without knowledge. Where the human knowledge ends, God's wisdom and power begins. It is better to get wisdom than gold and rubies for that matter as it's stated in scripture. Gold is another's, wisdom is our own; gold is for the body and time, wisdom for the soul and eternity. The treasures of wisdom are hidden not from us, but for us, in Christ. God's wisdom gives us life, light in the darkness, salvation, and growth. We are given the gift of the infinite wisdom of God when we fear him and put our faith in him. We hope that you enjoy this episode. God bless you and Go Rise Up!

Now that I'm a mom I have seen and experienced a whole new level of patience that I didn't even know existed. It can be so incredibly hard to have patience in a world that constantly has its foot on the gas. But we must remember. God is patient with us, so we must remain patient in Him and all circumstances and in steadfast prayer knowing that the trials will produce fruit if we remain in harmony with our Lord.
