Leslie continues the He Is series by unpacking Jesus as our strength. We often limit what God can do through our lives because we focus on our inability instead of His ability. We are quick to forget that what God calls us to, He equips us for. And yet, He is ready and waiting to provide us with supernatural power to tackle the impossible tasks He calls us to, if only we will allow Him to. As Christ's Body, we are meant to be carriers of His hope, light, and truth to a desperately needy world. But just like the disciples when faced with the task of feeding a hungry crowd with just a few fish and loaves, we must look to Him to supply what we need in order to fulfill this call.For more resources from Leslie, visit https://setapart.org/.

Leslie continues the He Is series with a powerful look at the reality that God is love. When we come face to face with the extraordinary facts about God's love, it necessitates a response on our part; a response of awe and gratitude, a response that willingly offers all that we are to the One who gave everything for us, because of His amazing love. In this message Leslie focuses on two key aspects of God's love and how the reality of His love should impact our daily life and decisions.For more resources from Leslie, visit https://setapart.org/.

Leslie continues the He Is series by unpacking the authority that we have in Christ. When we take our position in Christ, we are able to wield the power of His Name against the attacks of the enemy. His Name is the Name that is above every name. As Leslie's shares in this episode, the power of His Name is what gives us authority over all the power of the enemy. If you are being harassed or hindered by Satan's attacks in your life, this message will encourage you to remember the authority you have in Christ, and offer practical ways to wield that authority so that you can exchange defeat for victory.For more resources from Leslie, visit https://setapart.org/.

Leslie continues the He Is series with important Scriptural keys to finding our identity in Christ. We often have humanly-contrived ideas about "godly womanhood" and they can seem dour and oppressive. But God's vision and purpose for our lives is the opposite - it's amazing, life-giving and beautiful. In this episode, Leslie points us toward refreshing Biblical truths about Christ-centered, godly womanhood, and equips us to find strength and confidence in Christ and not ourselves. While the world says that self-esteem is the answer for our insecurity, in reality we will only gain lasting security when we look away from ourselves and toward Jesus Christ. The question “who am I?” is not nearly as important as the question, “who is He?"For more resources from Leslie, visit https://setapart.org/.

Leslie continues the He Is series with a message about finding our identity in Christ. When we know who we are in Christ, we won't make the mistake of seeking purpose and fulfillment in the approval of others or unhealthy relationships. We will be content instead of desperate, peaceful instead of impatience, and secure instead of self-focused. As Leslie shares in this episode, knowing our position in Christ is the key to stepping into the life He has called us to live. It has been said that we can't really know who we are until we know who Jesus is. But we can't stop there. We must know who He is and what our position is in Him.

Leslie continues the He Is series with an inspiring reminder that Jesus is enough to satisfy us at the soul-level, no matter our season of life or circumstances. Many women struggle with finding contentment during singleness, while others feel frustrated and dissatisfied in marriage. It's all too easy to base our happiness on human relationships instead of our relationship with Jesus Christ. While it's true that God designed us for relationship with others, it is not true that He alone isn't enough to fulfill us at the deepest level, even if every form of human companionship is stripped away. As Leslie shares in this episode, the entire Bible is a love story — a romance between Jesus Christ and His Bride. Our earthly marriages are meant to showcase the ultimate marriage that we will one day share with Him. But even if we never experience earthly marriage, we can be completely fulfilled by our relationship with Jesus Christ.

Leslie continues the He Is series with a Biblical look at what it means to find our righteousness in Jesus Christ alone. Leslie unpacks the Biblical pattern for being clothed in the righteousness of Christ instead of relying on our own self-effort and human rules to be right with God. She explains that as healthy as personal convictions can be, they must always be an outflow of our love for Jesus Christ, not what we find our hope and identity in. When personal convictions are placed above Christ, they make us susceptible to self-righteousness and spiritual pride. And when that happens we completely miss the miracle of Jesus as our righteousness. This episode reminds us of the importance of abiding in Christ and placing our hope and identity in Him instead of in our own self-righteousness.For more resources from Leslie, visit https://setapart.org/.

Leslie continues the He Is series with Part Two of her message on walking in the wisdom of Christ. There are many ear-tickling messages in the church today. Often, these ear-tickling messages come in attractive packages. When a little bit of truth is carefully blended with an ear-tickling lie, it's easy to become convinced that it must be on target, simply because it sounds so pleasant and right. In this episode, Leslie offers practical ways to apply the wisdom of Heaven to new thoughts or ideas that we encounter and cultivate Biblical discernment in our Christian lives. Though there is much confusion in modern Christianity, Jesus has promised that those who seek His wisdom diligently will find it.For more resources from Leslie, visit https://setapart.org/.

Leslie continues the He Is series with an exploration of Jesus as our Wisdom. We often reason according to human logic, but Heavenly wisdom reasons according to an entirely different pattern. The modern Church is filled with subtle error, so we must apply Heavenly wisdom to every message or idea we encounter. As Leslie explains in this episode, Jesus Himself is the Wisdom of God. Knowing Jesus, walking with Him and being rooted in His Word is what equips us to proactively protect our souls against the enemy's insipid lies and walk in His Heavenly wisdom.For more resources from Leslie, visit https://setapart.org/.

Leslie continues the He Is series with a powerful reminder of what it means to make Jesus our everything.

Leslie offers Biblical inspiration and practical insights for overcoming apathy and cultivating a heart of true passion toward Christ, overcoming distractions and growing spiritually during busy seasons.

In this episode as part of the He Is series, Leslie unpacks Biblical keys to finding lasting joy in Christ. If persecuted Christians can rejoice in their prison cells, if impoverished people can be cheerful amidst their circumstances, and if the Apostle Paul could be happy even with his unimaginable trials, what excuse do we have not to embrace lasting joy? And yet many of us struggle with the pitfall of "delayed happiness", basing our joy on specific circumstances, hopes or dreams. In this message Leslie helps us transition from circumstantial happiness to unshakeable joy no matter what our circumstances - in Christ.For more resources from Leslie, visit https://setapart.org/.

In this episode, she shares four key truths that can help us experience the supernatural inner healing that is found only in Jesus, no matter what difficulties or traumas we have faced. This message reminds us that even when nobody else in the world can relate to our struggles, He is the All-Sufficient One and the God of All Comfort.

Leslie continues the He Is series with a powerful message about finding true inner healing and emotional restoration in Christ. Many of us sense that we need inner healing from traumatic things we've walked through, but we don't always believe that healing can be found in Christ. The enemy often tells us that we will always be impaired by our emotional pain, or that we will find better answers in human comfort than in God of all comfort. But as Leslie shares in this episode, the Bible makes it clear that Jesus is our true Healer and Restorer. Human comfort is only meant to be an extension of the Heavenly comfort and healing that is ultimately found in Jesus Christ. This message offers Biblical keys to finding emotional wholeness in Christ.For more resources from Leslie, visit www.setapart.org.

Leslie continues the He Is series with a powerful exploration of the worthiness of Christ - He is worthy to receive anything and everything we have to give Him.

In this message Leslie unpacks a powerful classic sermon called Ten Shekels and a Shirt, freshly reminding us of what it really means to live for the glory of our King.

Leslie continues the He Is series with a powerful reminder about what it means to really surrender our lives to the One who is worthy of all. It's easy to give only part of our lives to Christ, and yet maintain selfish control over key areas of our lives. This episode brings us back to the heart of true Christianity - not just giving lip-service to Christ, but cultivating a heart that is fully yielded to the One who gave everything to redeem us.To learn about our 2025 Set Apart Conference, visit https://setapart.org/2025-set-apart-conference/.

This week, as part of the He Is series, Leslie unpacks a beautiful attribute of Jesus - He is our Friend. We don't often think of Jesus as a close trusted Friend, and yet that is the kind of relationship He desires with us. It is truly awe-inspiring to realize that even though He is the King of kings and Lord of lords, He delights to enter into personal, intimate, daily fellowship with us. In this episode, Leslie offers key practical ways to begin cultivating a thriving friendship with Jesus Christ and truly step into the reality that He is our Friend.For more resources from Leslie, visit www.setapart.org.

This week Leslie dives into her new series with a powerful episode on making Jesus our Peace. Scripture says that the peace Jesus gives "surpasses all understanding”, which means that His peace is far more powerful than “all human thought, reasoning, and understanding.” His peace is stronger than our emotions, thoughts, circumstances or any lies the enemy may whisper to us. That is why Christians throughout history have been able to face extreme situations and remain supernaturally peaceful through it all - because they chose to make Jesus Christ their Prince of Peace. As Leslie reminds us in this episode, even when fear and uncertainty swirl around us, we can have perfect peace in any storm when we remain in Christ.For more resources from Leslie, visit https://setapart.org/.

We do not serve a distant God who can't relate to our struggles or meet our deepest needs, but the perfect fulfillment of every longing within our heart, even in seasons of loneliness.For more resources from Leslie, visit www.setapart.org.

Leslie continues her Most Asked Questions series with Part One of a message about becoming a faithful Christian . In this episode, Leslie shares two powerful stories from Christian history, when ordinary men and women chose a path of faithfulness and availability to God - with world-changing outcomes. Leslie reminds us that there are no “special Christians”, only faithful Christians. Each of us has been called by God to impact the world for His glory. But we don't need special qualifications to bear eternal fruit through our lives. We only need a heart fully surrendered to Jesus Christ, and faith in a mighty, faithful God.

Leslie continues her Most Asked Questions series with Part Two of her message: What is a Biblical approach to health? Even though Scripture makes it clear that “life is more than food” (Lk. 12:23), it's all too easy to behave otherwise. Whether we fall into the trap of self-indulgence and laziness when it comes to our eating habits, or struggle with becoming preoccupied with health food and fitness, it's all too easy to veer away from God's pattern in how we care for our physical bodies. As Leslie shares in this episode, living a healthful lifestyle can be a wonderful way to serve our families, bring discipline into our lives, and keep our bodies strong for the things God has called us to. But it can also become a form of idolatry if we build our lives around health instead of around Christ. In this episode, Leslie shares practical Biblical principles that can help us break through the fog of confusing messages and trends, and keep our focus on Christ when it comes to the area of health and wellness in today's world.To listen to Part One of this 2-part message, visit https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/most-asked-questions-part-one-what-is-a-biblical/id1187669968?i=1000663939817.

Leslie continues her Most Asked Questions series with a two-part message on a Biblical approach to health, healing, and wellness.

In Part One of this message, Leslie unpacks three Biblical keys for responding to health issues correctly.

Leslie continues her Most Asked Questions series with a timely episode on responding to cultural and political issues in a Biblical way. We often respond to cultural darkness with fear, anger or indifference. But as Leslie shares in this episode, we are called to engage with cultural issues in a Christ-like, God-honoring way, and shine Truth in the midst of a lost and dying world. We are called to go forward boldly into the battle like Esther, upheld by the mighty hand of our Defender and Deliverer.

Leslie continues her Most Asked Questions series with this Biblical perspective on handling feelings of rejection. Many women struggle with feeling rejected by others. The enemy often uses these feelings of rejection to cause us to doubt God's love for us and distract us from our calling to shine the light of Christ to this world. In this encouraging message, Leslie shares two Scriptural principles to give us Heavenly perspective when we are struggling with rejection. When we understand who we are in Christ and grasp our value to Him, we can walk in confidence and joy, even if others reject us. Scriptures covered in this episode: 1 John 1:9, Psalm 103: 12, Is 61:3, Joel 2:25, Gen 50:20, Luke 15:22-24, Psalm 45:10-11, 1 Sam 2:8.To learn more about our 2024 Weeklong and 5-Week Ellerslie Discipleship program, visit https://ellerslie.com/be-discipled/.

Leslie continues her Most Asked Questions series with a Biblical look on contentment in singleness. Many voices in modern Christianity imply that it is not possible to be happy or fulfilled in the single years. It's true that God designed us for relationship with others and, for most of us, He designed us for marriage. But as Leslie shares in this episode, it is not true that Jesus alone isn't enough to fulfill us at the deepest level, even if every form of human companionship is stripped away. God has a tremendous purpose for our single years. This episode shows us that contentment in Christ is possible by His enabling grace, whether married or single, whether in plenty or in want, whether in easy circumstances or difficult ones. Even if we never experience earthly marriage, we can be completely fulfilled by our relationship with Jesus Christ.

Leslie continues her Most Asked Questions series with a practical and eye-opening look at true Biblical modesty. We often make the mistake of defining modesty only by the style of clothing someone is wearing, but as Leslie shares in this episode, modesty is far more of an outflow of someone's heart condition than anything else. If we truly desire to showcase honor; to glorify Jesus and point eyes to Him, true modesty will be the natural outflow of our lives, not just in what we wear but in how we act, how we conduct our conversations, and how you show respect and honor to others around us. As Leslie reminds us in this message, true modesty is not dour and oppressive, but life-giving and liberating.To register to watch our 2024 Set Apart Conference online, visit https://setapart.org/2024-set-apart-conference/.

Leslie continues her Most Asked Questions series this week with a Biblical look at decision making. Many Christians believe that it is more spiritual to use our common sense, follow our hearts, make our own decisions, and then ask God to bless them. The idea of waiting for God's leading before we move forward with a decision is becoming a foreign concept among modern believers. If you've ever been confused about what role God wants to play in your decisions or how to determine His specific will for your life, you are not alone. In this episode Leslie unpacks what Bible has to say about being directed by God in our decision-making.To learn more about our 2024 Ellerslie discipleship programs visit whttps://ellerslie.com/be-discipled/.

Leslie continues her Most Asked Questions series this week with a Biblical and practical response to the question, "how can I hear God's voice?"

In this episode, Leslie shares two key principles that can help us learn to recognize the voice of God in our lives and cultivate a listening ear to His Spirit's leading.For more resources from Leslie, visit www.setapart.org.

Leslie continues her Most Asked Questions series this week by tackling the topic "How can I know God's will for my life?" It might seem hard to discern what God's specific calling on our lives. Am I called to be married or single? Am I called to be a missionary? Am I called to have a career? Am I called to this specific opportunity? But as Leslie shares in this episode, we all too often we get caught up in those kinds of questions and miss the fact that all our decisions are meant to flow out of a much deeper understanding of who we are called to be - daughters of the King.To learn more about our 2024 Set Apart Conference (attending in person or via simulcast) visit https://setapart.org/2024-set-apart-conference/.
