The Laura Mayer Podcast

What an honor is was to sit down with my mom as she told her own story of freedom. In this interview style episode, you will hear her share her journey of discovering there was more to God than she had been taught as a child, how she learned to pray the Word over her children, learning to walk in victory, when she first learned she had a covenant with God (and what the meant), and her journey learning about her authority in Christ.

Relationships can feel so messy and can leave you feeling like things in your life depend on what the other person does or doesn't do. In this episode, we will discover how to get off the relationship roller-coaster and get back in charge of your own life by uncovering the root of why you gave up control in the first place and why you are staying stuck. The books I list in this episode are: Boundaries by Henry Cloud and John Townsend Emotionally Healthy Spirituality by Peter Scazzero How to Deal with Powerful Personalities by Dr. Time Kimmel

Sometimes it's more than simply church hurt. Sometimes it goes way deeper into something more sinister. In our final episode in this series on Church Hurt, I share my own story and tackle the little spoken of topic called Church Abuse.

We continue our series of overcoming church hurt and how this hurt can cause us to change our view of ourselves.

Satan loves to work through hurt and offense to draw us into isolation where he can further steal, kill, and destroy. Many people are walking around with wounds from churches, pastors, and others who should have been there to love and protect but weren't. Listen in to understand how church is NOT God and how wounds from church can skew our view of His character.

Not all storms have the same origins. Because of this, they also have different fixes. Listen in to hear the 3 reasons storms come in our lives and the 3 responses to go with those storms lauramayer.org

Part 3 in our series on the soil of our hearts. Spoiler: Your way to freedom always starts with surrender Follow me on social media FB: Laura Mayer IG: @laurarmayer

We don't have to go through life offended and triggered. Extending His forgiveness disconnects us from the offense and receiving His healing heals the wound the offense caused. "Defender" by Bethel Worship. https://youtu.be/MJ9cov1lk64

Time doesn't heal wounds...unless it's time in His presence. Listen and learn how your reactions and problems in relationships may be due to doing life with a wounded heart.

Struggling with the same issue over and over? Listen up as that issue becomes so small compared to your identity in Christ, and learn how to run toward your new nature instead of away from your old one. The difference is game changing.  

Just as I promised in the last episode, I explore 4 barriers to hearing God's voice. Knowing these barriers empowers you to remove them!

Ever have a big decision and ask God to send you a sign telling you what to do? I know I have, but I've learned there is a better way. Listen in as I share this better way with you. You will also learn WHY it's important to be led of God confidently from the inside instead of relying on the outside.

Do you ever feel like its so hard to hear from God? Or maybe wonder why others say they sense His leading and yet you struggle to sense anything? This episode is for you. Episode Scriptures: Romans 8:14 John 10:3-5 John 16:13 Psalm 119:105 Proverbs 20:27 Proverbs 3:5-6 Isaiah 30:21 1 Timothy 4:2 & Romans 2:15

Are you exhausted? Mentally, emotionally, and physically drained? With so many things going on in our world, it feels as though our souls are under constant assault which can leave us completely empty. But... there is a solution, and it's found in Psalm 1. Listen in on how to stay rooted in Christ in these last days so you are able to bear much fruit, be a part of solutions instead of perpetuating problems, and be part of the greatest revival the world has ever seen.

You have a past- a story to tell- but you desperately want healing from it first. Listen in learn the power of giving up your story. *My apology for lack of music in this episode. I was having technical difficulties but felt it best to publish on time instead of waiting for perfection...practicing what I preach.

WE humans are wired for love and when that love goes unfulfilled, we seem to respond in 3 main ways: 1. Push everything away that may hurt us again 2. Find substitutes for love that have no ability to reject us. 3. Remove all healthy boundaries and throw ourselves 110% with the other person's happiness our only concern. Fear of rejection drives us to never disappoint anyone. At the root of these is the fact we have a longing, and that longing left unattended leaves an area of lack. Listen today as I discuss recognizing the LONGING, seek to uncover what's LACKING, the fill it with PERFECT LOVE.

Do you ever feel too condemned and dirty to spend time with God? Like you need to get cleaned up before asking Him anything? Or maybe the whole time you're at church, you feel like the biggest phony regardless of how hard you try? Or maybe your prayer life just feels dead and you long to feel closer to God but don't know how? If any of this sounds familiar to you, listen in to this week's podcast episode, "Righteousness and Ballgown." There is a secret you need to know.

Where does that "try harder" drive come from and how do you break free? I'm not talking about the drive that propels you toward a healthy level of excellence but instead that tormenting voice inside your head that won't let you rest. It only repeats, "Try Harder. You're not enough."

FEAR is a spiritual force that draws things to you the same way that FAITH is a spiritual force that draws things to you. Listen in!

In this episode we discover how feeding on the Word of God can "vaccinate" us against fear. Much like an antibody fights a virus, revelation of God's LOVE fights fear. www.lauramayer.org Instagram: @laurarmayer Facebook: Laura Mayer Ministries
