Author, speaker, and TV show host, Katie Souza, joins Liz this week for a deep dive on healings and the miraculous. Katie unpacks the process of what is happening when someone gets healed and how Holy Spirit and the angelic partner together.

The Word says we will prosper and be in health even as our soul prospers. Liz and Katie share testimonies of the impact of forgiveness on the body. Be encouraged as you listen today to receive the healing you need, and start stepping out in faith to minister healing to others. Join Liz and Katie on April 3-5 for Encounter 2025!

The dwelling place of God inhabits the earth as we gather in unity. Holy Spirit is a person and we get to discover Him! Richard encourages us to remember that we can operate in our gifting, void of His anointing. The anointing is where the exponential happens. We function in the anointing as we surrender to the heart of God and embrace His compassion for others. Related Materials: You're invited to join us for a powerful time encountering God together!

Liz shares a recent encounter she had on the 30th anniversary of her physical visitation from Jesus. He gave her the garments He wore, representing humility and the capacity to walk as He did on the earth. This encounter is for all of us. He also gave her a ruby and gold ring, that was the ring of the Father. With this comes the certainty of our identity and that we belong to Him. He then gave her His sceptre, representing our capacity to extend His authority on the earth. Lastly, there was a silver trumpet, symbolising the speech of God, that we would be pure oracles of His heart. Receive today the increased ability to walk as Jesus did, know who you are in Him, and be a pure sound.Related Materials:You're invited to join us for a powerful time encountering God together!

Today we have a special year-end episode of Business Breakdowns, running through some of the best ideas that were featured on the podcast. The goal of the podcast is to detail whatever business we're covering that day.

If you're not able to join us in person this morning, tune in to this quick word from Pastor Chip Parker. We hope it leaves you feeling inspired to do what you can to love your neighbor well.

River Roaming with the Tillery's explored Apalachicola and Live Oak. Many rivers conquered.

In this episode, host Doug Still introduces us to a 300-year-old Live Oak tree on the campus of Hampton University in Virginia that stuns visitors with its strength and beauty. It's also an enduring symbol of a watershed moment in American history - the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation during the Civil War, which freed enslaved people in the rebel states. How could a tree play a role in that momentous event locally? What did emancipation truly mean to African Americans in 1863? How does the tree still inspire the hearts and imagination of people today?
