Podcast appearances and mentions of Christine Caine

Have you ever encountered something so real, so life-changing, so undeniable, that you simply could not stop talking about it? That's not enthusiasm. That's what happens when you've been with Jesus. In the final episode eight of A Life Unleashed, Christine Caine takes us to Acts 4 where Peter and John have just watched a man who couldn't walk stand up and leap, where 5,000 people have turned to Jesus in a single day, and where the most powerful religious leaders in Jerusalem have gathered to shut the whole thing down. Their verdict: these men are uneducated, untrained, and dangerous. Their observation: they have been with Jesus. In this episode, Christine Caine shows that the boldness that stunned the Sanhedrin was not the product of rhetoric, theological training, or strategic communication. It was the natural overflow of two men who had been with Jesus and could not contain what they had seen and heard. Christine Caine makes the case that this same compulsion is available to every believer, that cancel culture is not a new invention, that the church has always grown fastest under pressure, and that the most powerful testimony in the world is not an argument but a life — a healed man, standing in the room, impossible to refute. The compelling takeaway: you do not need a seminary degree or a platform to share Jesus. You simply need to be with Him. When you are, it pours out of you — and no one can stop it. ✨ If you've ever asked questions like… ✅ How do I share my faith without feeling like I'm forcing my beliefs on someone? ✅ What do I do when culture or my workplace or my family pressures me to stay silent about Jesus? ✅ How do I get the boldness to speak about my faith when I'm afraid of what people will think? ✅ Does the Holy Spirit really give me the power to do things I can't do in my own strength? ✅ Is my story — my experience with Jesus — actually enough to share, even without formal training? ✅ Why does it feel like there's more resistance to Christianity now than there used to be? ✅ How do I keep believing in miracles when everything around me is trying to explain them away? …then this is your episode.

You haven't given up on it officially. But somewhere along the way, you quietly stopped expecting it to happen. Maybe it's been too long. Maybe you've been disappointed too many times. Maybe your biology or your bank account or your circumstances have told you that the window has closed, and it was just easier to make peace with that than to keep hoping. But Christine Caine has a word for you from one of the most staggering stories in all of Scripture: you have put an expiration date on something God never did. In episode seven of our series A Life Unleashed, Christine Caine opens Genesis 21:1–7 and takes us on the 25-year journey between God's promise and its fulfillment — between the moment Abraham heard it and the morning Sarah held it in her arms. ✨ If you've ever asked questions like… ✅ I've been waiting on God for something for years. How do I keep believing when nothing has changed? ✅ How do I know the difference between giving up prematurely and accepting that God's answer is no? ✅ Why does it feel like God came through for others but not for me? ✅ What do I do when I've tried to make something happen in my own strength and it made things worse? ✅ Is it okay to doubt — and what does faith actually look like when you're exhausted and discouraged? ✅ How do I stop placing expiration dates on what God has promised? ✅ Can God still fulfill something He promised even when it seems biologically, financially, or circumstantially impossible? …then this is your episode.

Our series "Day One" continues as Christine Caine looks at the story of Pharaoh and the frogs, using the beginnings of Harley-Davidson to show how putting things off until tomorrow can keep us from stepping into our Day One.

There are people hidden in plain sight everywhere you go. Waiting to be seen. Waiting to be known. Waiting for someone to stop scrolling long enough to notice them. The question Jesus asked Simon at a dinner party two thousand years ago is the same question He is asking every one of us today: do you see this woman? In episode 6 of A Life Unleashed, the series pivots from identity to calling, and Christine Caine shows that the two are inseparable. Because once Jesus has truly seen us, forgiven us, and welcomed us into His family, He mobilizes us to go with Him and see others. Calling is not primarily about a platform or a position. It begins with a question: can you see the people right in front of you? In this episode, Christine Caine opens Luke 7:36–8:3 and unpacks the moment Jesus turns to Simon and asks the most searching question in the room. Simon had looked at the woman all night. He had categorized her, labeled her, dismissed her. But he had never seen her. Christine draws the contrast between Simon's self-righteous blindness and Jesus's radical, costly, compassionate sight — the kind that crossed every social boundary to acknowledge a woman that no one else in the room was willing to dignify. Christine Caine is honest about what it cost her to go from looking at a poster of a missing child in a Thessaloniki airport to actually seeing her — and how that moment of seeing became A21. She names the real enemies of compassionate sight: the selfie culture that has turned the camera perpetually toward ourselves, the compassion fatigue that causes us to withdraw when the pain gets too heavy, and the busyness that lets us look at the people at our own dinner table without ever really seeing them. The takeaway that will send you back into your world differently: seeing is hard work, but we were born for this. ✨ If you've ever asked questions like… ✅ What does it actually mean to be called? Is it just for leaders and missionaries? ✅ How do I start seeing the people around me the way Jesus sees them? ✅ I feel so overwhelmed by the brokenness in the world. How do I keep caring without burning out? ✅ What is compassion fatigue and how do I know if I'm experiencing it? ✅ How do I move from passively feeling bad about injustice to actually doing something about it? ✅ Why does it feel like I'm too busy or too small to make a difference? ✅ What does the harvest field actually look like in my everyday, ordinary life? …then this is your episode.

Fear has a way of creeping into everything—from parenting and health to our future, relationships, and the pressure to keep up. But what if the answer isn't trying harder to eliminate fear, but learning to trust God more deeply? Ginny welcomes back bestselling author and speaker Christine Caine to discuss her new devotional, Whom Shall I Fear? 100 Devotions for Overcoming Fear and Living the Abundant Life. Christine shares practical wisdom for confronting fear through four powerful practices: rest, prayer, listening to the Holy Spirit, and finding strength in the joy of the Lord. They explore why rest is ultimately an act of trust, how to discern what deserves our “yes,” what to do with unanswered prayers and disappointment, and why we must continually “check our markers” before we unknowingly drift into fear. Christine also shares deeply personal reflections on adoption, her biological mother, and learning to live peacefully with questions that may never be answered. Plus, Christine discusses A21's Global Freedom Summit and how parents can better understand and prevent online child exploitation.

Carrying old wounds? Today, Joyce, Ginger, and Christine Caine discuss Joyce's new memoir, My Battlefield, and how God can turn your pain into a powerful testimony of healing.

In this week's episode, Pastor Julie sits down with author, speaker, A21 founder–and one of our favorites in the So Good Sisterhood family–Christine Caine for a powerful conversation about making every day count, remaining all in with God, and flourishing in every season. As Christine reflects on turning 60, she shares why her confidence in the goodness of God has only grown stronger—and why she believes her most fruitful years may still be ahead.Whether you feel like life has passed you by, your circumstances have left you stuck, or painful years have been wasted, this conversation will remind you that God is still writing your story. Through the biblical picture of the olive tree, Christine unpacks what it means to stay rooted, resilient, and fruitful even in barren places. You'll be encouraged to stop measuring your life by your age, platform, past, or present circumstances and trust that while there is still breath, there is always hope.Subscribe to Shownotes Plus (https://rock.gocf.org/page/2849)Learn More About Sisterhood (https://www.christfellowship.church/ministries/women)Keep Up with Pastor Julie (https://www.instagram.com/juliedmullins/)© 2022 Be Essential Songs (BMI) / Jord A Lil Music (BMI) / Doejones20 (BMI) (admin at EssentialMusicPublishing.com).

Every room you walk into, you leave a scent behind. Not the perfume you're wearing — your presence. The thing that lingers after you've left. The spiritual fragrance that people associate with your name, your home, your workplace, your family. And Christine Caine wants to ask you directly: what does yours smell like? In episode five of A Life Unleashed, Christine Caine opens 2 Corinthians 2:14–17 and unpacks one of the most sensory and surprising images Paul ever used for the Christian life: the Roman triumph parade, where priests carried incense through the streets of Rome so that every citizen could smell the victory before they ever saw it. Paul says that is exactly what we are: the aroma of Christ, diffused through us everywhere we go, to everyone we meet. In this episode, Christine Caine shows that the gospel is not only good news to the ears — it is a good smell to the nose, and God Himself can smell it. She takes us through Scripture to show that smell has always mattered to God, from Noah's offering in Genesis to Mary's perfume filling the house in John 12 to Jesus Himself, the ultimate sweet-smelling sacrifice of Ephesians 5. She makes the case that whatever is in our hearts will inevitably diffuse out of our spiritual pores and that we cannot manufacture the fragrance of Christ through behavior alone. Just as perfume is made by the pressing and crushing of flowers, the sweet fragrance of Christ comes forth in us through the very seasons of brokenness and dying to self that we most want to avoid. And she names the hard truth: not everyone will love the scent. The same fragrance that smells like life to believers may smell like death to the lost, and the temptation to dilute the gospel to make it more palatable to the world will always be there. But if you change the chemical composition, it is no longer the same aroma. The takeaway that will stay with you: our spiritual influence on other people is directly proportional to the vitality of our own intimacy with Jesus. ✨ If you've ever asked questions like… ✅ How do I make my faith feel real and visible to the people around me, not just something I believe privately? ✅ Why does it seem like some Christians have a quality about them that draws people in, while others repel? ✅ What does it actually mean to be a witness and is it something I do or something I am? ✅ How do I keep sharing the gospel when the world seems more hostile to it than ever? ✅ What do I do when following Jesus starts costing me socially or professionally? ✅ How do I let God change what's in my heart, not just my behavior? ✅ Why does brokenness and hardship seem to produce the most spiritually compelling people? …then this is your episode.

We end up wasting a lot of time striving for personal status when the most honored title God ever gave someone was "servant." Author and speaker Christine Caine points to Joshua 1 to remind us that those who have been most effective for God's kingdom never settled for something as temporary as a platform.

You might be in the right place. You're just not sure it's enough of a place. It doesn't look like much from the outside. Nobody's watching. Nobody's applauding. It's not the position you pictured when you said yes to God. And every time you scroll through someone else's highlight reel, your place feels smaller and smaller. But Christine Caine has a word for anyone who has ever felt overlooked, underplaced, or tempted to leave, and it comes straight from 1 Corinthians 12. In episode four of A Life Unleashed series, Christine Caine opens Paul's body of Christ metaphor and makes the case that where God sets you is never accidental and what you do there is never invisible, no matter how unseen it feels. In this episode, Christine Caine walks through 1 Corinthians 12:12–27 to show that the church is not a platform system where visibility equals significance. It is a body where every ligament, every unseen muscle, every hidden part is indispensable, and where one displaced part causes the whole body to limp. She makes the case that a gift displayed outside the body has no ultimate purpose, that God doesn't need a marketing plan to find you — He goes to the place He assigned you — and that the church today is spiritually limping because too many people have either abandoned their place or are devaluing the place they're in. The takeaway that will anchor you: if you don't embrace your place, you will always feel displaced. And when God sets you in place, you cannot be displaced and you cannot be replaced. ✨ If you've ever asked questions like… ✅ How do I stay faithful in a place that feels small, invisible, or beneath what I feel called to? ✅ Why does it feel like God is using everyone else more than He's using me? ✅ Is it okay to leave where I am for something that looks like a better opportunity? ✅ What if I've been in this season longer than I thought I would be? Does that mean God has forgotten me? ✅ How do I know if I'm in the right place or if I should be somewhere else? ✅ Does what I do behind the scenes actually matter if no one ever sees it? ✅ How do I stop comparing my place to someone else's position? …then this is your episode.

Pastor Chris welcomes guest speaker Christine Caine for a message on what it means to co-labor with Jesus. Being part of God's family isn't just about having a seat at the table — it's about actively going out and compelling others to come in and join the feast.

The gift of prophecy reveals God's heart and purpose. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, the prophetic should guide us to speak His truth with clarity and love.

Most people are going to read your life long before they ever read the Bible. That means you are already a letter. The only question is whether the writing is legible — whether the people in your world can actually make out the message, or whether what they're reading in your life doesn't match what you say you believe. In episode 3 of the A Life Unleashed series, Christine Caine opens 2 Corinthians 3:1–3 and unpacks one of the most quietly confronting images Paul ever gave the church: you are a living letter, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, known and read by everyone. In this episode, Christine Caine shows that the question of Christian witness is not primarily about what we say. It's about what our lives communicate when no one is asking. She takes us into the context of Paul's defense of his apostolic authority to the Corinthian church, where his letter of recommendation wasn't a document but a community of people whose changed lives were the proof of the gospel. She makes the case that the same is true for us: every believer is a living letter sent into a specific sphere of influence (an office, a school, a street, a sports team) and we may be the only letter Jesus has sent to that exact place. Christine is honest about what makes a letter illegible and what it looks like to be deliberately, consistently readable in a world that is watching. The takeaway that will stay with you: a Christian is a walking memo from God to a lost world, so let's make sure what we're communicating is the good news of the hope of Jesus. ✨ If you've ever asked questions like… ✅ Does how I live as a Christian actually matter to people who don't believe? ✅ How do I share my faith when my actions haven't always matched my words? ✅ What does it mean to be a witness? Is that just for pastors and leaders? ✅ Why does it feel like people expect more from Christians than from anyone else? ✅ How do I live out my faith consistently when life is messy and I keep falling short? ✅ What does it look like to be sent by God into my specific context — work, family, school? ✅ How do I make Jesus visible to people who would never walk into a church? …then this is your episode.

You got a brand new identity in Christ. But are you still wearing the old clothes? Most of us know that something changed when we came to faith. What we're less sure about is what that means for how we actually live — what we put on, what we take off, and what we've let quietly stay in the closet because it still fits a little too comfortably. In episode two of our series A Life Unleashed, Christine Caine opens Colossians 3 and does what Paul does: gets practical. In this episode, Christine Caine uses the extended metaphor of a spiritual wardrobe to unpack one of the most practical passages in the New Testament. Since we have been raised with Christ, Paul says, there are clothes we used to wear that simply should not fit us anymore, and there is a brand new wardrobe hanging in the closet that most of us haven't fully tried on yet.  Christine is honest about what her old wardrobe looked like before Christ and what it meant to discover that those clothes were slowly destroying her life. She makes the case that getting dressed spiritually doesn't happen by accident any more than getting dressed physically does. It takes intentionality, daily decision, and a clear sense of who you are representing. The takeaway that will stay with you: the sin you won't kill will end up killing something else (your relationships, your peace, your witness) and through the power of the Holy Spirit, you have the agency to choose differently every single day. ✨ If you've ever asked questions like… ✅ I'm a Christian but I still struggle with the same things, is something wrong with me? ✅ How do I actually change my behavior? Is it willpower, or is there something deeper going on? ✅ What does it mean to put off the old self and put on the new self — practically? ✅ Why does setting my mind on things above actually matter for how I live down here? ✅ How do I stop being complacent about the things in my life that I know aren't right? ✅ Does how I live as a Christian actually affect people around me who don't believe? ✅ What does God's wardrobe for me actually look like, and how do I start wearing it? …then this is your episode.

You can experience intimacy with God! Every moment we spend with Him and in His Word unlocks the supernatural and points us back to His glory. When we discover how to "abide" in our Savior, He reveals the deeper purpose of supernatural gifts and draws us closer to His heart.

One word. Spoken once. And it changed everything for all of eternity. When Jesus bowed his head on the cross and said, "It is finished," he wasn't admitting defeat. He was shouting victory. In the original Greek, it is a single word — tetelestai — a business term meaning "all is completed, paid in full." Written at the bottom of a debt. Stamped across a record of what was owed. And at Calvary, Jesus wrote it across yours. In the first episode of our podcast series A Life Unleashed: Living Fully in the Purpose God Designed You For, Christine Caine takes us to John 19:28–30 and unpacks the three things that were completed at the cross and why all three have direct bearing on who you are and how you live right now. ✨ If you've ever asked questions like… ✅ I know Jesus died for sins, but does that actually cover everything I've done or had done to me? ✅ Why do I still feel shame and condemnation even after I've been forgiven? ✅ How do I stop feeling like I need to earn God's love or prove myself to Him? ✅ Can God really redeem a family history like mine — abuse, addiction, abandonment? ✅ I feel too far gone. Is there actually hope for someone like me? ✅ What does the finished work of the cross actually mean for my everyday life? ✅ How do I let what Jesus did become bigger than what people did to me? …then this is your episode.

Nobody told you the process would take this long. You said yes. You showed up. You stayed faithful. And still, nothing looks the way you thought it would by now. If that's where you are, Christine Caine has a word for you from the life of David and from her own story: God has not forgotten you. He is preparing you for the thing He has already prepared for you. In the final episode of our summer series, Christine Caine ends with the message most of us need to hear before we can truly step into the destiny God has in store for us: the process is not the problem. The process is the point. In this episode, Christine Caine weaves together the story of David's journey from shepherd boy to king with her own — from the Bible college dean who told her she would never speak publicly, to cleaning a broom closet alone on a church volunteer day, to being handed a pager and asked to start a youth center, to speaking to government advisors and filling arenas. None of it looked like a straight line. None of it moved as fast as she wanted. And all of it was preparation. ✨ If you've ever asked questions like… ✅ I feel called, so why does nothing seem to be happening yet? ✅ How do I stay faithful in a season that feels pointless, small, or beneath me? ✅ What do I do when life genuinely isn't fair and God hasn't explained why? ✅ How do I trust God's timing when I'm watching less qualified people get ahead? ✅ Is the hard season I'm in actually preparing me for something or have I missed my moment? ✅ What's the difference between being anointed and being appointed? ✅ How do I keep turning up when I feel overlooked, criticized, or forgotten? …then this is your episode.

We should be posted up in ATL right now, sis, gearing up for the Woman Evolve Conference. Instead, we're home—and if that's got you in your feelings, our girl SJR says keep the pity party short. And we mean short, short! ‘Cause this “off” season we're all side-eyeing is still an opportunity to respond to God's call.

God is not waiting to give you something. He's waiting for you to go get what He's already given. That's the tension at the heart of this episode, and if you've ever found yourself in a season of praying, waiting, and wondering why nothing seems to be moving, Christine Caine has a direct word for you from the Book of Joshua: how long will you put off going in to possess the land? In this week of our summer series, Christine Caine brings the entire series to a point. We've built the roots. We've developed the resilience. We've walked through shame, waited through the wilderness, found the peace. Now comes the question that determines whether any of it produces fruit: are you willing to go in and possess what God has already promised you? Because the abundant life Jesus described in John 10:10 was never meant to be dropped from the sky. It was meant to be walked into actively, faithfully, and at personal cost. ✨ If you've ever asked questions like… ✅ Why does it feel like God's promises are for everyone else but not for me? ✅ I've been praying and believing for years, but why haven't I seen the breakthrough yet? ✅ What does it actually mean to possess the promises of God — is there something I need to do? ✅ How do I know what I need to cut away in order to move forward? ✅ Is the abundant life Jesus promised actually available to me right now, in my circumstances? ✅ Why do some Christians seem to walk in blessing and favor while others don't? ✅ Am I co-laboring with God or just waiting for Him to do something I'm supposed to participate in? …then this is your episode.

You can have deep roots, genuine resilience, open hands, and real faith — and still not fully flourish. Because flourishing requires freedom. And for most of us, the thing standing between us and that freedom is something we've been carrying so long we don't notice the weight anymore. It's shame. In week 8 of our summer series, Christine Caine gets personal. This is the episode where she shares the testimony that reaches the part of us we don't usually let anyone see, the part that wonders, quietly and persistently, whether we are actually enough. Whether God could really use someone like us. Whether what happened to us has somehow disqualified us from what He intended for us. Christine Caine takes us back to Genesis 2, to the last verse before the fall, to the one thing God never designed us to carry, and shows that shame was never part of the original design. The enemy introduced it precisely because it is the most effective weapon against the thing he most wants to destroy: a life bearing fruit for the Kingdom. In this episode, Christine Caine opens her own story and shows what happened when she chose to place the truth of God's Word over the facts of her circumstances. She doesn't minimize the facts. She simply introduces a force that is higher than the facts: the truth of who God says you are. The takeaway that will stay with you: the thing the enemy used to shame you is often the very thing God will use to qualify you. ✨ If you've ever asked questions like… ✅ Why do I still feel like I'm not enough, even after years of faith? ✅ Can God really use someone with a past like mine? ✅ How do I separate my identity from what happened to me? ✅ What do I do with shame that feels too deep or too old to shift? ✅ How do I believe what God says about me when the facts of my life say something different? ✅ Is it possible to flourish when I'm still carrying things I haven't told anyone? ✅ What does it actually mean to be God's workmanship — and does that include me? …then this is your episode.

Anchor Passage: (Numbers 26-27; 36)The second generation of God's people stands on the edge of the Promised Land, counted in a census after their parents died in the wilderness. Right in the middle of that list of names, five daughters step forward with a bold request, asking to be included in the inheritance of land for God's people. Join us as we discover what the outcome teaches us about who is included in God's promise today!

Carrying old wounds? Today, Joyce, Ginger and Christine Caine discuss Joyce's new memoir, My Battlefield, and how God can turn your pain into a powerful testimony of healing.

God never said, "Hurry up." He said, "Wait." And most of us are terrible at it. In week seven of our summer series, Christine Caine speaks into the season most of us are trying to get through as fast as possible — the waiting room. The season between the promise and the fulfillment. The gap between what God said and what you can currently see. Most of us treat that gap as a problem to be solved or a delay to be endured. Christine Caine makes clear it's neither. It is the place where the deepest roots get formed. She takes us through David's journey, not to show us how he arrived, but to show us what happened in between. Because David didn't just wait. He became. Every stage of the process taught him something he could not have learned any other way. The sheep. The palace. The cave. The wilderness. None of it was wasted. All of it was preparation. Waiting on God is not passive. It is the most active, faith-filled posture you can take. ✨ If you've ever asked questions like… ✅ I feel called and gifted — so why does it feel like nothing is happening? ✅ How do I stay faithful in a season that feels pointless or beneath me? ✅ What do I do when life feels genuinely unfair and God hasn't explained why? ✅ How do I trust God's timing when I'm watching less qualified people get ahead? ✅ Is the hard season I'm in actually preparing me for something or have I missed my moment? ✅ What's the difference between being anointed and being appointed — and what happens in between? ✅ How do I keep turning up when I've been overlooked, misunderstood, or treated unjustly? …then this is your episode.

Your circumstances haven't changed. The storm is still there. So why are you so calm? That's not a problem. That's a testimony. In week six of our summer series, Christine Caine takes us into one of the most practical and quietly radical things a believer can do in a chaotic world: refuse to let your heart spiral. Drawing on Philippians 4:6–7 and John 14, she shows that the peace of God isn't the absence of storms — every single one of us is either heading into one, standing in the middle of one, or coming out of one. Peace isn't what happens when the storm stops. It's what guards your heart while it's still raging. In this episode, Christine Caine unpacks the military language behind Philippians 4:7, the peace of God standing guard like a Roman soldier stationed at the gates of your heart, and makes the case that supernatural peace in the middle of chaos is one of the most powerful witnessing tools a believer has. She's honest about a recent situation that could have sent her spiraling, and shares what it looked like to actually apply Paul's instruction: pray about it, give it to God, and go to bed. Not because the situation was resolved, but because God never sleeps. The takeaway that will stay with you: don't lose your peace over something you can do nothing about. Take it to the only one who can do something about everything. ✨ If you've ever asked questions like… ✅ How do I stop my mind from spiraling when something scary or uncertain is happening? ✅ Is it possible to genuinely have peace when my circumstances are still a mess? ✅ What does it actually mean to give something to God — and how do I stop picking it back up? ✅ Why does it feel like I'm not allowed to be at peace, like I don't care enough if I'm not worrying? ✅ How do I trust God when I can't see Him doing anything about my situation? ✅ What does biblical peace actually feel like and how is it different from just numbing out? ✅ How do I guard my heart without shutting down or pretending everything is fine? …then this is your episode.

Have you ever become so familiar with your struggle that it started to shape your identity? In episode three of our Summer Recap Series, Shelley Giglio is joined by Christine Caine as she opens John 5 and unpacks the story of the man who sat beside the Pool of Bethesda waiting for his breakthrough. Through Scripture and personal testimony, Christine challenges us to consider the ways we've become comfortable sitting in disappointment, bitterness, fear, shame, or unbelief—and reminds us that Jesus is still asking, "Do you want to be healed?" Healing isn't just about leaving something behind; it's about stepping into the purpose God has prepared for us. Whether you're carrying wounds from your past, struggling to trust God with your future, or simply feeling stuck in your faith, this message will encourage you to get up, pick up your mat, and walk in the freedom Jesus has already made available. If you're ready to stop being defined by your issue and start living from your identity as a daughter of God, this episode is for you. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What do you do when you've prayed and nothing has changed? You go again. In week 5 of our summer series, Christine Caine takes us to Elijah on the summit of Carmel: face between his knees, praying in the dark, sending his servant back to the horizon seven times before a cloud the size of a man's hand finally appears. Most of us go once. Maybe twice. Maybe three times. But the fourth, fifth, sixth time — that's where most people stop. That's where faith gets tested not by what we see, but by what we don't. Elijah heard the sound of rain before a single drop fell. That gap, between what you hear in the spirit and what you can see in the natural, is what Christine Caine calls the faith zone. And it's where every one of us will be asked to live. We've committed to the direction. Now comes the test: what do you do when you keep going and it's still hard? Resilience isn't the absence of exhaustion. It's the willingness to eat the bread God puts in front of you and get up one more time. ✨ If you've ever asked questions like… ✅ I've been praying for the same thing for years and nothing has changed — should I keep going? ✅ How do I pray with faith and expectation when I'm exhausted and discouraged? ✅ What do I do when God feels silent and I can't see anything happening? ✅ How do I hold onto peace without ignoring the reality of what I'm facing? ✅ What does persistent prayer actually look like in everyday life? ✅ Is it okay to feel like giving up — and what do I do when I get there? ✅ How do I keep believing for a miracle when I've seen nothing for so long? …then this is your episode.

We need to talk about DREAMS! If you have ever asked: “Is God speaking to me through my dreams?” “How can I know that a dream is from Him?” “Does God still speak to people through visions?” We are here to remind you—there is no limit to the ways God speaks to His children. In this conversation, Sheila Walsh, Christine Caine, Janice Gaines, Kalley Heiligenthal, and Elyse Mahan discuss how to discern if a dream is from God and how to interpret these supernatural encounters! ------- If you enjoyed this episode, we encourage you to go back and listen to the previous conversations in this series: 1.       Can I Hear God's Voice? 2.       Hearing God Through Scripture 3.       Hearing God Through Prophecy ------- Do you want more Better Together?

There are only three words — and Jesus said them in the middle of a conversation about the end times, almost as an aside. But nothing Jesus says is random. “Remember Lot's wife.” Of the possible 170 women mentioned in the Bible, she is the only one Jesus ever told us to remember. Not Eve. Not Sarah. Not Esther. Not Deborah. Not even his own mother. One woman. Three words. And Christine Caine believes Jesus meant every one of them for you. In week 4 of our summer series, Christine opens Luke 17 and Genesis 19 to ask the question Lot's wife couldn't answer: what happens when your longing for what you're leaving behind becomes greater than your trust in what God has promised ahead? In this episode, Christine Caine unpacks the story of Lot's wife — a woman with no name, a single cameo in the Old Testament, and one of the most arresting warnings in all of scripture. Lot's wife was being led out of destruction by an angel, toward the future God had promised her family, and she looked back. Her misplaced longing led to lingering. Her lingering led to being calcified — stuck forever in a place she was only ever supposed to be passing through. Christine Caine makes the case that this is not an ancient cautionary tale. It is the central challenge of the resilient life: will you keep moving forward into what God has for you, or will you keep looking back at what He's asking you to leave behind? ✨ If you've ever asked questions like… ✅ Why can't I seem to let go of my past — even when I know God is calling me forward? ✅ Is it wrong to grieve what I've lost or left behind, or does that mean I'm looking back? ✅ How do I know the difference between healthy reflection and destructive nostalgia? ✅ I feel stuck — emotionally, spiritually, in old patterns — how do I move forward? ✅ Why does God ask us to leave things behind that feel safe, familiar, or good? ✅ What does it actually look like to fix my eyes on Jesus when the past keeps pulling at me? ✅ Can God still use me if I've already looked back — if I've already gotten stuck? …then this is your episode.

We have received so many questions about prophecy: “Why would an All-Powerful God choose to speak through people?” “Can anyone prophesy?” “I received a prophetic word—now what?” In this conversation, Sheila Walsh, Christine Caine, Janice Gaines, Kalley Heiligenthal, and Elyse Mahan answer these questions, discuss the meaning and value of personal prophecy, and why God uses people to declare His truth! Every spiritual gift from God helps us grow.

What if the pressure you're under right now isn't a sign that something is going wrong — but that something is being built? We live in a world that treats discomfort as a problem to be solved and pressure as a threat to be escaped. But Christine Caine opens Hebrews with a different diagnosis entirely: the pressure isn't the enemy of your faith. It's the furnace where your faith becomes real. In week 3 of our summer series, Christine Caine closes the Root phase with the message that connects everything: faith, endurance, and pressure don't just coexist — they're designed to work together. James 1 tells us the testing of faith produces endurance. Endurance produces the rooted character that holds a flourishing life. Roots don't grow in comfort. They grow in resistance. This is the last week of the Root phase. Next week everything shifts — and you need this foundation under you before it does. ✨ If you've ever asked questions like… ✅ How do I keep going in my faith when I'm exhausted and everything feels hard? ✅ Is it okay to feel like I want to quit — and what do I do with that feeling? ✅ Why does God allow so much pressure and pain if He's for me? ✅ What does it mean to run with endurance — is that just white-knuckling it? ✅ How do I stop running from hard things and start growing through them? ✅ What does the "great cloud of witnesses" actually mean for me in my daily life? ✅ How do I build roots strong enough to hold everything God is calling me toward? …then this is your episode.

Hebrews 4:12 says that the Word of God is "living and active." The Bible is inspired by God and is as relevant today as it was thousands of years ago. It is God's love letter to YOU!

Nobody told you the waiting is the work. We live in a world that rewards being discovered — going viral, moving fast, getting noticed. But God's economy runs on something entirely different: development. And development always happens in the dark. In week two of this summer series, Christine Caine takes us into the darkroom — the season of delay, disappointment, and hiddenness that God uses not to hold us back, but to build the roots that will hold us up when everything shakes. Christine Caine does it through the story of a young man named David: anointed at 17, appointed at 37. Twenty years. Twenty chapters. And not one of them wasted. This isn't a season you endure. It's a season you grow in. Originally heard by over 135,000 people — what is God growing in you right now that you can't yet see? ✨ If you've ever asked questions like… ✅ Why does it feel like everyone else is moving forward while I'm still waiting? ✅ I feel called and gifted — so why isn't anything happening yet? ✅ What's the difference between a gift and an anointing — and why does it matter? ✅ How do I stay faithful in private when no one seems to notice? ✅ Why does God's process feel so slow when the world moves so fast? ✅ What do I do when I feel overlooked by the people who were supposed to see me? ✅ How do I stop comparing my journey to someone else's highlight reel? …then this is your episode.

If you have ever wondered—"Why can't I hear God?” or “Will God ever speak to me?”—then this conversation is for YOU! God is always communicating with His children. Drawing closer to our Heavenly Father empowers us to tune our "ears" to His voice and makes us more aware of His constant presence.

This summer on Equip & Empower with Christine Caine, we're answering the question: what does it actually look like to live a rooted, resilient, and fruitful life? We're starting not with survival, but with possibility. A rooted life isn't just a stable life — it's a life capable of believing God for the impossible. And most of us have confused those two things. We want to be steady. We want to be safe. But Christine Caine opens this summer series with a provocation: the moment your situation stops being impossible is the moment you stop needing God. Roots aren't just for holding you in place. They're what make everything else possible. In this opening episode, Christine draws the line between intellectual faith and active trust — the difference between believing in God and believing God. For the thing in front of you.  For the miracle that seems too far.  For the promise you've nearly stopped praying for. ✨ If you've ever asked questions like… ✅ What's the difference between believing in God and actually believing God — for my specific situation? ✅ How do I trust God when the people I should have been able to trust have hurt me? ✅ Can God really rebuild what's broken in me before He can use me for something bigger? ✅ How do I step out in faith when I'm still carrying wounds from my past? ✅ Why do I keep praying for a miracle but pulling back from anything that actually requires one? ✅ What does it mean to be rooted — and why does it matter for the life I'm trying to build? ✅ Is it possible to flourish after abandonment, betrayal, or brokenness? …then this is your episode.

What do you do when the dream God gave you feels completely disconnected from the reality you're living? When life feels unfair, painful, delayed, or deeply disappointing, it can be easy to wonder if God has forgotten you. In this episode, Christine Caine walks through the story of Joseph in Genesis 37–50 — one where betrayal, waiting, setbacks, and suffering aren't the end of the narrative. They're the process. From the pit to Potiphar's house. From prison to the palace. God wasn't absent in Joseph's darkest chapters. He was positioning him. Christine Caine shows that the painful seasons aren't detours from your purpose. They are the preparation for it. If you're in a waiting room right now, wondering whether God has forgotten the dream He placed in you, this message is for you. ✨ If you've ever asked questions like… ✅ Why would God allow painful seasons if He gave me the dream? ✅ What do I do when I feel forgotten or overlooked? ✅ Can God still use my trauma and setbacks for good? ✅ How do I forgive people who have deeply hurt me? ✅ How do I trust God's timing when the wait feels unbearable? ✅ What does faithfulness look like when nothing is going the way I planned? ✅ Is it possible for my story to still turn out the way God intended? ...then listen in!

The gospel has always been rogue. Faith is predicated on trust, not understanding. And dying to self will never go out of style. This episode right here ate down! Sarah Jakes Roberts sits down with mentor, evangelist, and A21 founder Christine Caine to talk passing the baton of faith, stewarding influence, the danger of building for the wrong reasons, and why everyone who is serious about their calling must regularly audit the condition of their heart before God. Drawing from her book, The Faith to Flourish, Christine closes with an urgent, hopeful call: stop waiting for the world to get better before you start living fully, sis .

What if the thing you've been praying for requires the response you've been avoiding? In this powerful message, we dive into John 5 and the story of the man at the Pool of Bethesda—a man who had been stuck for 38 years, waiting for change but bound by excuses, disappointment, and patterns. When Jesus asks him a seemingly simple question—“Do you want to get well?”—everything shifts. In this episode, Christine Caine unpacks the deeper meaning behind Jesus' question and challenges us to confront the areas where we may be choosing comfort over transformation. With biblical truth and personal insight, she reveals how healing often requires participation, obedience, and the courage to let go of the past. If you're tired of feeling stuck, defined by your past, or limited by your circumstances—this message will stir your faith and call you forward. ✨ If you've ever asked questions like: ● Why do I feel stuck even though I want change? ● What's actually holding me back from healing? ● How do I move past my past? ● Why does God ask me to do things that feel impossible? ● Am I unknowingly choosing comfort over breakthrough?

Most of us have never been taught what the Bible actually says about our bodies. Christine Caine is asking the question a lot of people are afraid to ask out loud — does God care what you do with your body? How you eat, how you exercise, how you present yourself? What about tattoos, piercings, or cosmetic surgery? The answer is more nuanced — and more freeing — than you might think. In this full sermon, Christine Caine walks through the biblical truth about the body as the temple of the Holy Spirit, and brings Scripture into conversation with some of the most personal questions we carry — about fitness, beauty standards, stewardship, and identity. She's not here to shame anyone. She's here to bring clarity where the culture has created confusion. Because there's a difference between honoring your body and idolizing it. And most of us are navigating that line without a map. In this episode, you'll discover: What it actually means to steward your body as God's temple — without becoming consumed by it Why your identity is rooted in Christ, not your appearance or your fitness level What the Bible says about tattoos, piercings, cosmetic surgery, and beauty standards How to examine your motives — and make decisions about your body from freedom, not pressure This is for you if you've ever asked: → Does God care how I look or how I take care of my body? → Is it wrong to want to be fit, healthy, or attractive? → What does the Bible actually say about tattoos or cosmetic surgery? → How do I stop swinging between neglect and obsession with my appearance?
