What if the most dangerous thing isn't losing God's presence, but losing His presence and not even realizing it? In this powerful message from Girls Night In, Young Adult Pastor, Bekah Lagafuaina challenges us to look honestly at the places where compromise, comfort, fear, and temporary pleasure may be costing us what God has entrusted to us. What are you willing to trade for comfort? In this powerful message from Girls Night In, Bekah Lagafuaina shares a deeply personal testimony about learning to surrender fear, control, comfort, and compromise to say yes to God fully. Through the story of Samson, Bekah reminds us that compromise rarely happens all at once. It can happen one decision at a time, until we become so comfortable with what we've compromised that we no longer recognize what we've lost. She challenges us to ask: 1. Are we letting what we want become louder than what God said? 2. Are we protecting what God has entrusted to us? 3. Have we confused God's grace with His approval? 4. Are we relying on someone else's prayers, faith, or anointing instead of cultivating our own relationship with Jesus? The story of the ten bridesmaids in Matthew 25 reminds us that having a lamp isn't the same as having oil. We cannot live off someone else's anointing. We need our own oil. We need our own relationship with Jesus. And above everything God has called us to carry, the greatest thing we can carry is His presence. Bekah also shares part of her personal journey with her husband Elijah, the prayers she prayed when others didn't yet understand their relationship, and how God's faithfulness brought what He had shown her full circle. "Whatever it costs to keep His presence is worth it." _____________________ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 — The Word God Put on Her Heart: Compromise 01:40 — When Comfort Makes Us Compromise Our Calling 03:20 — Fear, Control & Learning to Depend on God 05:43 — Your Yes Can't Be Conditional 08:58 — Don't Trade the Oil 09:55 — Samson: When Temporary Pleasure Costs You Something Eternal 19:50 — Four Warnings About Compromise 23:05 — The Danger of Losing God's Presence Without Realizing It 24:03 — The Ten Bridesmaids & The Oil 29:38 — "God, May Your Anointing Never Leave Me" 30:38 — Don't Get Caught Up in Your Delilahs 31:22 — There Is Still a Way Back 32:50 — Whatever It Costs to Keep His Presence Is Worth It 34:09 — Bekah & Elijah: Trusting God Through the Unknown 37:50 — When God's Promises Come Full Circle 39:34 — A Full-Circle Moment in Australia 41:27 — Psalm 51:10–12 42:55 — Prayer Over the Audience 46:00 — Prayer of Salvation & Closing Scripture referenced: Judges 13–16 • Matthew 25:1–13 • Psalm 51:10–12 If this message speaks to you, share it with a woman who needs the reminder: don't trade what God has given you for what only feels good for a moment.

How many times have you looked in the mirror and quietly asked yourself, "Am I enough?" What if everything you've believed about your worth has been built on a lie? Today, we're uncovering the truth God has been speaking over you all along. Have you ever wondered… "Am I good enough?" "Have I done enough?" "Will I ever be enough?" If you've wrestled with comparison, perfectionism, insecurity, or the pressure to prove yourself, this conversation is for you. In Episode 2 of our Conversations with Mom series, Pastor Lisa and her daughter Bekah have an honest conversation about what it truly means to be sufficient in Christ. Too many women measure their worth by performance, social media, achievements, relationships, or other people's opinions. But God has never asked us to be perfect; He simply asks us to trust Him. Together they discuss: ● Why comparison steals confidence ● How perfectionism keeps us stuck ● Learning to recognize the gifts God already placed inside you ● Building God-confidence instead of self-confidence ● Healing from feelings of not being enough ● Elijah's powerful testimony of overcoming rejection and finding identity in Christ ● Practical ways to strengthen your relationship with Jesus and walk confidently in your calling If you've ever questioned your value, this episode will remind you that your identity isn't found in what you do; it's found in who you are in Christ. You are already enough because His fullness lives inside of you. Timestamps 00:00 Welcome!

Have you ever wondered why God allows seasons of pressure, waiting, and heartbreak? In this powerful Girls' Night In message, Pastor Lisa Kai reminds us that God never wastes our pain. Just as olives must be crushed before oil can flow, our greatest seasons of pressure often become the birthplace of healing, purpose, and spiritual maturity. If you're walking through disappointment, waiting on God, or wondering why life feels heavy, this conversation will encourage you to stay under His covering, trust the process, and choose life, even when it hurts. Not every season is meant to feel comfortable. Sometimes God allows the crushing, not to destroy us, but to release what He has already placed inside of us. In this powerful message from Girls Night In, Pastor Lisa Kai challenges us to stop living in yesterday's victories and make room for the new thing God wants to do. Through biblical teaching, personal stories, and practical encouragement, she unpacks how seasons of pressure can either produce fresh oil or leave us trapped in bitterness. Whether you're navigating heartbreak, singleness, disappointment, grief, or simply waiting on God, this episode will remind you that your pain has purpose and that God is still writing your story. Timestamps 00:00 – Worship with Pastor Lisa Kai 01:00 – God wants to do a new thing: Let go of yesterday and embrace what He's doing now. 03:00 – Prayer before today's message. 05:00 – Welcome to Girls' Night In.08:18 – Bitterness, Naomi, and the danger of allowing pain to define your future. 12:35 – Why olives must be crushed before oil can flow and what that means for us spiritually. 14:54 – The pressing of the Holy Spirit: Will your pain produce oil or toxins? 18:36 – Open wounds, jealousy, unforgiveness, and choosing life (Deuteronomy 30:19). 21:25 – Every decision shapes your future. Choosing God's path every day. 24:37 – Learning to love people now if we're going to spend eternity together. 26:45 – A real-life story about confrontation, reconciliation, and God's power to restore a marriage. 31:58 – Why God doesn't always remove the pressure. 33:01 – Romans 5:3–5: How perseverance produces character and hope. 33:42 – Waiting with purity, trusting God's timing, and allowing the pressing to expose what still needs healing. 36:38 – Stay under God's covering during difficult seasons (Psalm 91:1–2). 38:01 – Don't quit. Don't lose heart. 40:00 – Don't leave before the oil begins to flow (2 Corinthians 4:16–17). 44:25 – Jesus' crushing became our healing. 47:29 – Closing prayer. ______________ IG: @lisakai FB: @lisakai Website: lisakai.tv Arise Womens Ministry

What do you do when God feels silent, prayers feel unanswered, and everyone else seems to be receiving the blessing you've been waiting for? In this deeply honest episode, Bekah and Pastor Lisa unpack what it truly means to trust God in seasons of disappointment, waiting, grief, and uncertainty. From miscarriages and delayed prayers to surrendering control and learning how to celebrate others while still hurting yourself, this conversation is raw, vulnerable, healing, and full of hope. If you've ever asked God,"Why not me?", this episode is for you. In this new six-week series, Bekah and Pastor Lisa dive into the difficult yet transformative journey of trusting God, especially when life doesn't make sense. Together, they share personal stories about strained relationships, waiting seasons, miscarriage, emotional healing, and learning how to surrender control to God. Through stories of Hannah, Hagar, and Job, they remind listeners that trusting God isn't always pretty; sometimes it looks like crying in your closet, wrestling with disappointment, and choosing faith even when your heart is hurting. Pastor Lisa reflects on waiting 9 years to conceive, while Bekah opens up about miscarriage, delayed prayers, and how God taught her to celebrate others while still waiting for her own miracle. This episode is a reminder that: Trust isn't transactional. Waiting seasons can grow your faith the deepest. God sees you in your pain. Peace comes from returning to Him again and again. Whether you're waiting for healing, restoration, a breakthrough, provision, or a promise, this conversation will encourage you to keep trusting God, even when you don't understand the process. 00:00 – Introduction Bekah introduces the new six-week series Conversations With My Mother and today's topic: trusting God even when you don't understand it. 01:00 – Trusting God Through Relationships & Family Pastor Lisa shares how trust impacts parenting, marriage, friendships, and relationships through every season of life. 02:50 – Growing Into Mature Conversations Bekah reflects on how her relationship with her mother evolved over time and the importance of maturity in communication. 04:40 – What Trusting God Really Looks Like Pastor Lisa explains that trusting God means stepping into the unknown without knowing the outcome. 07:30 – Trusting God During Waiting Seasons Discussion about unanswered prayers, disappointment, confusion, and learning to trust God when life feels uncertain. 13:50 – Pastor Lisa's 9-Year Waiting Season Pastor Lisa vulnerably shares her infertility journey and how God strengthened her during the wait. 18:46 – Pretending to Trust vs Actually Surrendering Bekah opens up about struggling privately while publicly saying she trusted God. 30:00 – Miscarriage, Grief & Choosing Celebration Bekah shares her miscarriage story and how God challenged her to celebrate other women's pregnancies despite her pain. 38:52 – "One Day You Will Understand.

Throwing it way back this episode holds a special kind of weight. This marks the very first time Bekah and Pastor Lisa came together for a podcast conversation, diving into a question many people quietly wrestle with: what does it truly mean to be all in with God? Not halfway. Not casually showing up. But living fully immersed in faith. Through a powerful and relatable picture of jumping in headfirst despite fear, hesitation, or uncertainty, this episode challenges listeners to move beyond the edge and into full surrender. For anyone who has ever felt stuck, distracted, or unsure about taking that next step with God, this conversation offers both perspective and encouragement.

A new episode of the I AM HER Podcast is out—and it hits deep. How can God pour into our lives if there's no room to receive? In this powerful conversation, Pastor Lisa and Bekah walk through what it truly means to make room by decluttering not just our physical spaces, but also our mental load, spiritual distractions, and overcrowded calendars. This episode is for the woman who feels stretched thin, overwhelmed, or ready for a fresh start. Together, they unpack fasting, accountability, planning, and intentional living, challenging listeners to release what no longer serves them so God can bring new growth and new blessings. If you're stepping into this new year expecting transformation, it begins with letting go. Their prayer is that every listener enters the new year lighter, focused, convicted, and inspired—fully aligned and ready to receive everything God has prepared.

Pastor Lisa says that she is Chinese and she likes to keep everything. But often she has to tell herself to make room for her new items. 02:11 Pastor Mike turned the garage into a gym and a car no longer fits in there. In life we have to make more room. We add things like a husband, a dog, a car, a child. How many mugs do you really need? 03:33 You have to let go of things to make space. If you are serious about making changes in your life this is the episode for you. Start by thinking about the things that God wants you to remove from your life. 04:26 Pastor Lisa says that she added Pilates to her routine and has been doing it for a whole year now. Bekah tells the story of how her dad Pastor Mike gifts Pastor Lisa classes to Pilates. Pastor Lisa was committed and held herself accountable. 06:07 Bible verse: Let us throw everything that hinders and let us ruj with perseverance. Sometimes we get so caught up in the busyness of life that we end up having no time for ourselves and most importantly for God. 07:28 Bekah states the definition of decluttering. And says that she also thinks about one thing she was good at in 2025 was decluttering her calendar. Prior years she went through alot of anxiensnous due to how busy her calendar was. Every sunday she looks at her calendar and looks at what she can remove or combine to make room for something else. 10;02 How you lead yourself in January is how you will lead yourself in the following months. Bekah shared to the YA that every year for her bday she asks God what do you need me to do for my life. 11:35 Key word hindering.

Pastor Mike Kai knows from personal experience that success doesn't just happen— it's the outcome of countless daily choices to walk in obedience.Currently, Mike and his wife Lisa lead a multi-site church network, the Inspire Network. The powerful network grew from humble beginnings as a church that Mike and Lisa planted in Hawaii in 2001. Today, that network has produced life-giving conferences and books, with the most recent release being Mike's book That Doesn't Just Happen. But on this episode of Trevor Talks, Mike takes us back even further, into the challenges that shaped his character. Pastor Mike grew up in a small town in Hawaii. Early plans for a career in the air force were interrupted when Mike's girlfriend got pregnant when he was just 19. They married, but within two years, the marriage was over and Mike was desperate and alone. It was then that a coworker friend invited him to church— and changed Mike's life forever. This episode tells the story of what led Mike from that turning point into a position as a leader in both professional and spiritual development.Get That Doesn't Just Happen on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.Follow Mike Kai:Website: www.mikekai.tvInstagram: @mikekaiLinkedIn: Mike KaiYouTube: Mike KaiFor more Trevor Talks:SpotifyApple MusicGoogle PodcastsInstagramFacebook
