Podcasts about surrendering

Have we built idols out of our own interpretations of God's promises? In this powerful message by Danielle Stinespring, we dive into Matthew 16 to explore how Peter's pride and religion blinded him to the necessity of the cross, reminding us that our unique assignments often require a holy death to our own plans. True faith means walking the promise up the hill, enduring the grief of the cost, and trusting the Promise Giver even when the outcome looks completely different than we imagined.

In Week 4 of the Everything's Fine series, Pastor Gary Thomas challenges us to honestly examine the "rocks" we've been carrying, the addictions, habits, and character flaws that keep us from experiencing the freedom Jesus offers. Through the lens of Steps Six and Seven, he explains that real transformation begins when we become fully willing to surrender the things that are holding us back instead of simply managing them. Looking to Scripture, Gary reminds us that God's desire is not just to forgive our sin, but to reshape our hearts into people marked by compassion, kindness, humility, and love. This message encourages us to count the true cost of our sin, trust God's grace, and take the courageous step of letting go of what has been weighing us down. If you've ever struggled to break free from unhealthy patterns, this sermon offers practical hope and a powerful reminder that lasting freedom begins when we're willing to drop the rock.

In this episode of the Integral Yoga Podcast (Ep. 152), we sit down with master percussionist and sound healer Arjun Bruggeman. Known extensively for his decades of touring and playing the tabla alongside kirtan wallah Krishna Das, Arjun shares his profound evolutionary journey from a young punk-rock-loving drummer to a devotional musician and sound journey guide.Arjun opens up about his early life, the hilarious story of how he got his first drum kit, and his first chaotic introduction to the world of kirtan. He dives deep into what happens internally while anchoring a room full of chanters, sharing incredible transcendent experiences of devotion and the feeling of complete stillness on stage.We also explore his shift during the pandemic toward his solo "Sound Journey" work—inspired by the etheric nature of the Northern Lights—and how he uses meditation and ambient percussion to help others drop out of the mind and into the "sensation arts" of the body.

In this guest episode, Nimesh is joined by Mark J Platten for a grounded and powerful conversation about what happens when your soul begins calling you beyond the life, identity or work you have built.Mark shares his lifelong connection with nature and how the Earth has guided, held and supported him throughout his life. For Mark, nature is not just somewhere we go. It is a relationship. It communicates, grounds us and reminds us that we are never truly alone.One of the most powerful moments in this conversation is when Mark shares the guidance he received during COVID: you are doing good work in the world, but it is not your soul work. That message became part of a much deeper transition, eventually leading him out of his academic career and into a new chapter of listening, surrendering and trusting what his soul was calling him towards.Together, Nimesh and Mark explore nature connection, masculine energy, midlife transformation, fear, community, emotional intelligence and why so many people are being called into a more heart-led and soul-aligned way of living.This conversation is for anyone questioning their path, feeling called into change, or sensing that their soul is asking for something deeper.Also available to watch on YouTube.If this episode resonates, please like, comment, and follow the podcast.In This Episode✨ Mark's deep relationship with nature and the Earth✨ What happens when your soul calls you beyond the life you built✨ The difference between good work and soul work✨ Masculine energy, midlife transformation and emotional intelligence✨ Community, fear, change and the importance of elder wisdomWhat You'll Take Away✨ You can be doing good work and still feel called into deeper soul work✨ Nature can help you remember who you truly are✨ Fear does not always mean stop; it may be showing you where growth is calling✨ Men need spaces for honesty, support and emotional connection✨ Surrendering does not mean giving up; it means listening more deeplyGuest BioMark J Platten is a teacher, writer and men's work facilitator whose work explores nature connection, soul alignment, midlife transformation, masculine growth and the relationship between humans and the Earth.

Welcome to today's Guided Prayer, where we invite you to find a quiet space to still your mind and body.  Guided Prayers are a daily 5–10 minute, intentionally created moment to slow down and meet with God—through scripture, reflection, and honest prayer.It's not a program you attend.It's a pathway you practice.A guided space where people can stop, breathe, and connect with Jesus—every single day.

A surrendered marriage doesn't begin with a perfect spouse—it begins with two hearts fully surrendered to God.What does a surrendered marriage actually look like?It looks like choosing humility over pride.It looks like extending grace instead of keeping score.It looks like praying together, forgiving quickly, serving one another, and trusting God's design even when it's difficult.Before God calls us to surrender to each other, He first calls us to surrender to Him. When our hearts are yielded to Christ, our marriages become a reflection of His love, faithfulness, and sacrifice.Join us as we take a deep dive into what Scripture says about being a surrendered person and how that transforms a marriage. Together, we'll discover what it means to lay down our own will, embrace God's purpose, and build a relationship that honors Him.

Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Lonneke.This is her 2nd time on the podcast. Her first episode is one of our top 10 episodes of all time called “The Magic of Surrendering to Birth”.Lonneke is an intuitive mama of three children from the Netherlands. Her first birth awakened such a deep inner knowing that it transformed her life entirely. She went from being a military officer to an herbalist, and built an apothecary especially for mothers.All of her children were born at home with just her husband present. With each birth, she dove deeper into her intuition, which ultimately led her to a wild pregnancy for her third child. She received the clear message that her daughter did not want to be born in water, which brought a new experience after two previous water births.Curious about Lonneke?

You didn't burn out. You got bored, and your brain did the rest. André Brisson, The Impulsive Thinker®, breaks down what actually happens when ADHD entrepreneurs walk away — or get forced out. It's not about losing. It's about refusing to do it on someone else's terms.   In This Episode: Why "putting yourself first" is non-negotiable for ADHD Entrepreneurs Setting boundaries and learning which clients and team members still respect you Regulating your batteries before your brain and business crash   What You'll Take Away: Running your own company doesn't mean anyone else gets a say Survival mode isn't strategy — it's your ADHD brain in panic spinning its wheels Doing work that makes you angry or bored is a signal, not a moral failing You can drop 75% of your revenue and still come out ahead — if your boundaries are right If you're burned out and overwhelmed, it's time to quit validating your decisions with outside opinions   GUEST BIODr. Brandie Keates is a neurodivergent entrepreneur and founder of Bloom Sanctuary. She built and sold one of the largest chiropractic practices in her state and now creates practical support for women in pain.   Follow Dr. Brandie YouTube Facebook Instagram Website DrBrandie.com   ABOUT THIS EPISODE The Impulsive Thinker® and Dr. Brandy Keats get brutally honest about business breakups, burnout, and why ADHD brains refuse the slow death of "steady" growth. They talk about why boundary-setting is everything for ADHD Entrepreneurs and what really happens when you decide to put yourself first. This conversation digs into overwhelm, the real cost of bad-fit teams and clients, and the guilt that comes from doing less but getting more. It's a direct look at neurological regulation, dropping work that kills your batteries, and how to build a business that survives the ADHD cycle. If you've ever felt the urge to burn it all down or start over, this episode is your permission slip. Hit play if you're ready to stop apologizing and actually run things your way. Email me about it at andre@theimpulsivethinker.com. Remember — ADHD failure is measured on society's measuring stick. Not yours. Your brain runs on interest, not importance. That's not a flaw. That's a different operating system. ADHD is not a deficit. It's a difference.  

Two hundred fifty years ago, the USA fought for independence. Nothing wrong there. But in our walk with God, Jesus says following Him means surrendering.

Send me a Text Message!As we continue our review of Nehemiah, you'll hear me say, "Surrendering once is not enough. Repentance is a daily discipline." In other words, if you aren't finding time to shut down the busy and turn off the noise so that you can hear the still small voice of the Spirit of God, you're gonna drift back to the normal of sin. If you aren't joining with others in prayer; if you're not letting someone speak truth intoyour life; if our Bible is as closed as our ears...we'll drift back to Nehemiah 13. Don't drift. Don't go back to normal. Surrender forward. You have to ask yourself, "Am I going to do what I've always done, or is it time for a change?" And I'm not talking about minor tweaks. I'm talking about changes thatgo deep and disrupt the normal flow of life; changes that go deeper than sin management. I believe that if I want something different than I've ever had, I may need to do something different than I've ever done! Is it time for a change?

What's your golden calf? In this conversation, Dot and Cara dig into one of the most honest questions we can ask ourselves: have we quietly given something, or someone, the place that only God deserves? Drawing from Exodus 23, they walk through how to recognize an idol, why good things can end up in the wrong position, and what it really means to surrender something to God without the fear that He'll take it away. Pull up a chair, grab your Bible, and lean in with us.Got a question about today's episode or something else you'd like to hear us talk about on the show? Let us know! Episode RecapIntro (00:00)Write this down: Exodus 23:23-25, God's warning to Israel about worshiping the gods of the land they were entering (00:00)How do we even know if something is an idol? Cara asks the question most of us have probably wrestled with at some point (00:04:52)Dot's working definition: an idol is something you love more than God, depend on more than God, or find your worth and value in more than God (00:08:15)Cara shares how she realized time was her idol — not something she trusted more than God, but something that had quietly become the controlling factor in her life (00:08:29)Good things can become idols; it's not always the thing itself but the position it's holding in your heart (00:10:56)Surrendering an idol doesn't mean God will take it away — His heart is that you'd let go so you can actually enjoy the gift He gave you (00:12:11)Most idols form in seasons of waiting, just like the golden calf — the Israelites got tired of waiting for Moses and fashioned something to fill the gap (00:17:30)"I will become what I worship" — what holds your full heart and attention is quietly shaping who you are (00:19:36)What to do: ask yourself if you're willing to let it go, bring it to God, repent, and surrender it — He is the only one who can actually bring real value and purpose to your life (00:27:55)Are you interested in having Dot come and speak to your community?

You shall not worship their gods, nor serve them, nor do according to their deeds; but you shall utterly overthrow them, and break their sacred pillars in pieces. But you shall serve the LORD your God, and He will bless your bread and your water; and I will remove sickness from your midst."

Do you realize the same power that raised Jesus from the dead is available to you today? In Week 8 of our Ephesians series, Pastor Ken walks through Paul's powerful prayer in Ephesians 1:19-21, revealing God's incredible power for every believer.

Whether you're facing fear, addiction, anxiety, broken relationships, or impossible circumstances, you'll be encouraged to stop relying on your own strength and begin living from the victory Jesus has already secured. Key Takeaways: • Understanding God's resurrection power • Living by faith instead of self-reliance • Surrendering impossible situations to God • Giving Jesus greater authority than your fears • Walking daily in Christ's victory Scripture: Ephesians 1:19-21 (NLT) Thank you for listening.

What do you do when God calls you outside of the comfort and culture you've always known? In Acts 10, Peter is led by the Holy Spirit to cross what had previously been uncrossable boundaries – a call that challenged both his identity and his sense of belonging. But on the other side of his certainty, he watched God move in a way he'd never imagine. It begs the question: what stands on the other side of our comfort? (Acts 10)

What if waiting isn't wasted time—but the very place God is shaping you most?In this episode of Coffee and Bible Time, we talk about what it looks like to stay faithful while trusting in God's timing, especially when life feels unclear or delayed.

Grief changes you.Sometimes it arrives through the loss of a loved one. Sometimes it comes through trauma, illness, heartbreak, or the quiet loss of the person you once were.In this deeply heartfelt conversation, I sit down with spiritual mentor, Akashic Record reader, hypnotherapist and author Sangeeta Dewan to explore a journey that is both heartbreaking and incredibly inspiring.Sangeeta shares how childhood illness, bullying and years of believing she wasn't enough shaped her early life, before taking us through one of the greatest challenges anyone can face — caring for her husband Mahesh after he was diagnosed with multiple brain tumours during the pandemic.Rather than allowing grief to define her, Sangeeta chose to let it transform her.Together we explore how surrender became her greatest teacher, why self-love is essential during life's darkest moments, the power of spiritual practices when everything feels uncertain, and how healing doesn't mean forgetting — it means learning how to carry love forward.We also talk about her beautiful new book, Hope Beyond Grief: Surviving the Unthinkable, written to remind anyone experiencing loss that hope is never truly gone.Whether you're navigating grief, supporting someone you love, or simply moving through a season of change, this conversation offers compassion, wisdom and the gentle reminder that healing is always possible.Key Themes

Jacob Seay continues our sermon series, Teach Us to Pray. With this Sunday's theme: Surrendering Our Will in Favor of God's. Father's Day 2026

After The War came to Fellowship Baptist Church, Bobby reflects on the joy of watching God use the next generation, especially as his son David recruited teens, helped in the invitation, and personally led several young men to Christ. But the episode moves beyond one exciting week of outreach to a bigger challenge from the Great Commission: every Christian has a next mission. If you have received the gospel, your next step is to grow; and as you grow, God calls you to go help others grow too. Topics Discussed The return of The War under Austin Brownlee's leadership Watching God use young people in evangelism David Bosler recruiting teens and leading several to Christ The follow-up event after The War: “The Next Mission” Matthew 28 and the Great Commission The receiving side of the Great Commission: grow The sending side of the Great Commission: go Baptism as the first step after salvation Surrendering to God's next step in your life Helping others take their next step without pride or condescension Depending on Christ's presence and power to fulfill His mission Key Takeaways Every saved young person has a next step. The first step after salvation is believer's baptism. Christian growth does not stop with one decision; God wants obedience in all things. The Great Commission is not only something you receive, but something you obey. God calls growing Christians to help others grow. You do not have to feel fully prepared before God can use you. Christ's mission requires surrender, but it also comes with His enabling presence. God wants to use you to make a difference in someone else's life.

Listen in as Charlotte welcomes guests Heather Creekmore and Doris Swift.  Heather and Doris are authors, speakers, podcast hosts and more. And they are aging gratefully with us! Heather wrote Aging Gratefully, Compared to Who? and The Comparison Free Life. Doris wrote Surrender the Joy Stealers. All books are available on Amazon. Friends, these books are so helpful, and we need them.  In this podcast episode, we talk about struggles many women face but rarely speak about openly: body image, midlife, how to age gratefully and what comes to steal our joy as we juggle so much in our encore years. Heather shares a bit about her own journey, one that many of us women have struggled with - years of dieting, disordered eating, and the belief that changing our body would finally bring happiness. Marriage and motherhood don't resolve these struggles. For Heather, a message about modern-day idolatry led to a powerful awakening in her heart. Charlotte and Doris have their own body image journeys and share from the heart as well. Cultural messages fuel our obsession with appearance, how comparison robs us of our joy, and why true freedom comes from understanding our God-given identity—not from pursuing the latest health trend or fitting into a certain pair of jeans.  Doris shares about what led her to write her power Bible study, Surrender the Joy Stealers, and how we can stand firm and stand against what threatens our joy. It's a task that requires daily surrender and intentionality.  Whether you've battled body image insecurities, comparison in any area of your life, or the pressures of aging in a looks-obsessed world, this honest and hope-filled conversation will inspire you to pursue joy, purpose, and your fierce calling right where you are. Speaking of Fierce Calling, that is the name of Doris's podcast. Heather's is called Compared to Who? You'll want to tune in to both. Get ready for truths, laughter, encouragement, and the reminder that you are so much more than a number on a scale, a face in the mirror or a person juggling much in the empty nest. Together, and with Christ at the center of it all, we can have a full and joy-filled life.  To reach Heather Creekmore, click here.  To purchase her books, click below:  Aging Gratefully Compared to Who? The Burden of Better  To reach Doris Swift, click here:  To purchase Doris's book, click below:  Surrender the Joy Stealers  To reach Charlotte, click here.  To subscribe to Charlotte's Bible Plan, Living Fully in the Empty Nest, click here.

Have you ever wondered if Chirch is only for those who have it all together? Have you avoided talking about God's holiness because you feel unsure if you can live up to it or worry about what God might expect from you?Pastor Jonathan leans in, reminding us that it can be humbling and even a bit scary to see how far we are from God's expectations. But he doesn't stop at the discomfort.From Isaiah to Peter to Moses, he gives a hopeful message: God doesn't bring you near to hurt you, but to heal you. What feels like being cut down could actually be God clearing space for something new and whole to grow. Even our seasons of pride or running away from God or running on borrowed faith aren't the end. The are invitations to see God, surrender, and be transformed.Scriptures ReferencedExodus 3:1-6; 2 Chronicles 26:1-23; Isaiah 6:1-13; Ezekiel 1:26-28; Luke 5:7-8; Galatians 5:19-26; Philippians 3:8; 1 Peter 1:14-15Key InsightsGod's holiness is present in His mercy and grace.When we see God's holiness, we are undone, but there is life in surrender and transformation.Approaching faith casually can lead to spiritual drift or pride.The path to renewal begins with humility and letting God “cut away” what doesn't belong.Key Sections00:00:00 - The Vision of HolinessIsaiah's experience shows how foreign and overpowering God's holiness is. It makes people feel small, but it also drives us to want to understand more and to change for the better.00:04:29 - Wrestling with HolinessIt seems like we seldom talk about holiness. There's a shared discomfort and inability to articulate something so awe-inspiring as God's holiness. Yet knowing His holiness is vital to knowing Him.00:08:21 - Responding with HumilityWhen we compare ourselves to others, we can feel pretty good about ourselves. But when we see the true standard of God's holiness, we are led away from pride and into deep humility.00:14:27 - God Closes the GapEven though we want to avoid what reveals our flaws, God shows us a path to closeness through sacrifice. This proves that He wants to restore us, not judge us, and that His holiness highlights His love and mercy.00:17:14 - Lessons from UzziahUzziah's life is both a warning and an encouragement. Trusting in someone else's faith or being too proud can lead to failure. However, knowing God personally and staying humble helps us stay close to Him and fulfill His purpose.00:24:57 - The Gift and Danger of Repeated ExposureComing close to sacred things without respect creates spiritual callousness. Real healing happens when we surrender and let God show us and take away our pain instead of hiding it or arguing with Him.00:28:46 - Surrendering for RestorationHumility and surrender—not performing or pretending—are the only ways to step forward into God's healing and restoration, moving us from brokenness to belonging.00:33:29 - Letting God Heal What HurtsWe should let God heal our deep wounds. It ends by encouraging us that getting rid of unhealthy things helps us get ready for new life. It concludes with hope and invites us to respond through worship.https://springhouse.captivate.fm/episode/arise-in-holinessSubscribe & Follow the PodcastDownload our appOur WebsiteOnline Tithes & OfferingsJoin our LivestreamGathering TimesSundays, 9:00 AMSundays, 11:00 AMThursdays, 6:00 PMContact InfoSpringhouse Church14119 Old Nashville HighwaySmyrna TN 37167615-459-3421CCLI License 2070006

What if the exhaustion you feel isn't burnout at all?What if the endless pursuit of success, recognition, optimization, achievement, health protocols, retreats, supplements, and peak experiences is actually masking a deeper hunger?In this powerful solo episode, Kellan challenges one of the biggest misconceptions of modern personal development. Many people spend their lives trying to solve spiritual problems with physical solutions. They chase more success, more validation, more performance, more experiences, and more self-improvement—yet still feel empty.Kellan shares personal stories about health challenges, including recent heart issues, and explains why none of those circumstances have diminished his daily experience of joy. He reveals the distinction between feeding the body and nourishing the spirit, why optimization has become a respectable hiding place, and what it actually takes to experience lasting purpose, prosperity, and joy.If you've ever felt like you've achieved more but somehow feel less fulfilled, this conversation may expose the real source of the hunger you've been trying to satisfy.Key Takeaways:• Why success, recognition, and possessions fail to satisfy deeper longing• The difference between happiness and joy• How Kellan maintains joy despite significant health challenges• The epidemic of seeking fulfillment in the wrong places• Social media validation and the addiction to recognition• Why optimization cannot answer spiritual questions• Physical nourishment versus spiritual nourishment• The dangers of performance theater and image management• Why peak experiences don't replace daily transformation• Silence, prayer, reverence, and spiritual practice• The role of humility, confession, and repentance• Surrendering ego and listening for truth• Creating a daily practice that nourishes the spirit• Living with purpose, prosperity, and joy

This episode continues a special series featuring stories and reflections from those who traveled to Egypt with Nichole Bigley. In this candid and heartfelt conversation, Nichole reconnects with her dear friend Christine Schiefer to reflect on the profound energetic, emotional, and spiritual experiences that unfolded throughout their journey. Although Egypt had been on Christine's bucket list since childhood, the pilgrimage became far more than a trip to ancient sites. It evolved into an unexpected journey of surrender, healing, and deep personal transformation. Together, Nichole and Christine explore the powerful emotions that surfaced in sacred spaces, moments of intuitive knowing and soul remembrance, and how learning to let experiences unfold without expectation became one of the journey's greatest lessons. Tune in to hear Nichole and Christine talk about: Surrendering and trusting the journey Emotional healing at sacred sites in Egypt Intuition, soul remembrance, and spiritual awakening The transformative energy of the Isis Temple Letting go of expectations and embracing the unknown Returning home with greater clarity and trust Perhaps the greatest takeaway from Christine's experience is that healing doesn't always come through seeking — it often arrives through surrender. By releasing expectations and trusting the unfolding journey, she found clarity, healing, and a deeper connection to herself. And that invitation is available to all of us — any time and wherever we are.

The hosts amplify intense conservative panic and backlash surrounding the newly unsealed U.S.-Iran Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Pointing to blisters of criticism from *The New York Post* and *National Review*, the segment dissects leaked terms indicating the U.S. will prematurely lift its naval blockade, hand control of the Strait of Hormuz to Iran, and permit un-sanctioned oil sales—all just to secure a 60-day window of technical talks. Citing a warning from General Jack Keane, the show disputes Trump and JD Vance's assertions that the arrangement protects against nuclear expansion, arguing instead that the absolute capitulation strips the U.S. and Israel of all geopolitical leverage.

In Week 3 of our Summer at Bethlehem series, our good friend Pastor Mike Linch joins us to share a life-changing word on what it truly means to discover our identity and calling in Christ. Continuing our summer journey through the scriptures that have fundamentally shaped our lives, Pastor Mike takes us to the shores of Galilee in Luke 5:1–11.   Too many of us spend our lives chasing worldly definitions of success, building our own plans, and exhausting ourselves in our own strength—only to end up with empty nets. Through the story of Simon Peter's miraculous catch of fish, this message confronts our need for control and serves as a powerful guide on how to shift from our personal ambitions to a life of true, kingdom-altering impact.

Gene Zannetti talks with Tennessee state champion Reed Loeffel about winning his first state title as a senior after joining Wrestling Mindset just two to three months before the tournament, how staying present and surrendering the outcome were the two biggest tools that kept him from choking on the biggest stage, pinning a two-time state champion in the finals who had beaten him twice during the season, and why even wrestlers who don't think they have a mindset problem can benefit from just having someone to talk to.Timestamps:2:30 - Joining Wrestling Mindset two to three months before states3:02 - Staying present and not thinking ahead 3:43 - Surrendering the outcome, learning how to actually apply it4:02 - Even without a big problem, just talking to someone about mindset makes a huge difference6:44 - Wrestling completely free after the comeback7:27 - Finals day: staying present through eight to ten hours of waiting8:17 - State finals: pinned a kid who had beaten him twice during the season11:18 - Training five to six times a week with club, headed to Stevens Institute of Technology

In the midst of Preston "Surrendering" to his current medical treatments and illness, we thought what better time to have an episode about the many variations of surrender in life and in art. These variations are taken from three different episodes from seasons 2, 4, and 6 of the podcast, and cover surrendering to the present moment and flow, surrendering wanted outcomes and refocusing on process, and finally surrendering in is most pure form; using it as a tool to adapt, refocus and grow as artists and human beings. We hope you will find this useful and inspiring, and that you find many different nuggets of wisdom that you can apply to your own life and art. Enjoy!For more information on Preston M.

Surrendering our plans to the Lord is rarely easy. Every step can be met with questions, doubts, and fears that press in on our decisions. And yet, as today's storyteller reminds us, it is in surrender that we discover true freedom.   On today's podcast, Ashley Stockard, who shared at our Vestavia, Alabama live gathering, reflects on her faith journey and the ways the Lord faithfully pursued her heart—drawing her in, capturing her attention, and ultimately leading her to live with open hands.   Through her story, Ashley gently reminds us that surrendering to the Lord, following His lead, and loving Him above all else is where our true identity is revealed and our purpose is found.   VERSE OF THE WEEK: See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. Isaiah 43:19   CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK: Surrender your plans to the Lord, follow His lead and watch Him move.  _____________________________________________________________________   Listen to a similar story:  Episode 282- Grace McKissick:  "From the World to the Word"   Download a phone background of the weekly verse HERE!   Give to StoryTellers Live in honor of Ashley   Preorder our new devotional "Where Hope Meets You: A Daily Reminder of the Comfort and Confidence in God's Promises" by Katie Dunn    Join us "In the Room" on Patreon to access new stories straight from our live gatherings around the country!     Download audio or purchase one of our studies in the When God Shows Up Bible study series ~ Stories of Hope, Stories of Freedom, Stories of Faith   Check out all of our live speaking engagement opportunities on our website.   Want to see our upcoming events?  Click HERE!   Sign up to receive StoryTellers Live's weekly newsletter for upcoming events, new podcast episodes, details on our live gatherings happening around the country, and much more!!

One of the greatest privileges we have as spouses is coming before the Father and lifting up our marriage—leaning on Him for protection, provision, and strength. Today, special guests Brad and Heidi Mitchell join Dr. Kim to talk about how foundational prayer is for intimacy and the overall climate of your marriage. Many couples struggle to develop this rhythm—not because they don't want to, but because they simply don't know where to start. Be encouraged today as Brad and Heidi share from their newest book, Build Your Marriage With Prayer, and talk about how guided prayers, daily readings, and reflection questions can help couples grow a consistent and meaningful prayer life together.   Episode Highlights: Husbands don't have to know it all to lead- they can be simply willing to initiate. Wives can come alongside and encourage their husbands to step into the role God created them for.  Don't weaponize prayer against your spouse. Quotes from this Episode: Kim Kimberling Quotes: "The first time Nancy and I really started praying for something together and saw God show up, it was like, 'This is awesome.'" "Prayer bonds us together in a way nothing else really can." "Most guys feel inadequate spiritually, but prayer was never about performing." "You don't have to know more than your spouse to lead spiritually—you just have to initiate." "When couples begin praying together, they stop fighting against each other and start fighting for each other." "Inviting God into conflict changes conflict from something destructive into something that can grow your marriage." "The more we pray, the more prayer becomes part of the fabric of who we are." "God wants to be involved in the middle of our everyday lives—not just the big emergencies." "When you pray over your spouse, it creates empathy, connection, and unity." "Prayer gives God a chance to show up in your marriage over and over again." Brad Mitchell Quotes: "A lot of men don't pray with their wives because they're afraid of looking inadequate." "Men don't need to be spiritual experts—they just need to become spiritual initiators." "The things you most want to lean away from are often the very places God wants you to lean in." "When you pray about the issue instead of against each other, nobody wins or loses—God wins." "The enemy whispers, 'You're not good at this,' because he knows how powerful prayer is in marriage." "Every wife would love for her husband to stop and pray over her before the day begins." "Surrendering your schedule to God changes interruptions from frustrations into opportunities." "Prayer protects your marriage because it keeps both of you surrendered to God instead of fighting each other." Heidi Mitchell Quotes: "Make prayer a positive experience for your spouse, not a performance." "There's really no wrong way to come before God together." "Encouragement from a wife can completely change a husband's confidence in leading spiritually." "If prayer becomes weaponized, couples will stop wanting to pray together." "Not every thought deserves a place to stay in your mind." "Ask yourself: Does this thought line up with who God says my spouse is?" "Praying together helped us move from surface-level faith into authentic dependence on God." "When my husband prays for me, I feel protected, cared for, and truly seen." "The spiritual connection we share through prayer has become one of the greatest strengths in our marriage." Time to Talk About it: What would it look like for us to make prayer feel more natural and encouraging in our relationship instead of pressured or performative? Is there an area of our marriage right now where we've been "fighting each other" instead of "fighting for each other," and how could prayer help shift that?
