How healthy is your private life as you charge ahead into the new year?

As we build momentum in 2024, we want to invite all of you to slow down and make sure your heart is in the right place. We all want to have a fruitful year, but how healthy are your roots? If your unseen life is a mess, it will almost certainly cause things to unravel over time. To build our lives on a firm foundation, it?s critical we examine ourselves and pay careful attention to the things God brings up in our lives.

On this week's episode of Conversations, John and Lisa provide some helpful questions you can ask yourself to assess the current health of your faith. Offering personal insights and practical steps you can take today, this episode will help you make sure you are building your life on an unshakable foundation.

Does it feel like your life is in a holding pattern while others all around you seem to be moving forward with purpose? Do you feel disappointed because you?re not where you thought you'd be at this point in your life? Do you feel frustrated, sensing you were made for more, but don't know how to attain it? Do you struggle with fear and depression, desperate to find fulfillment and meaning for your life?

If this is you, you're not alone. Join us on this episode of the Conversations podcast as John is joined by Chris Pace, author of ?Level Up: How to Advance in Your Calling and Never Get Stuck.?

Today, we're diving into a topic that's perfect for anyone looking to start the new year on the right foot: learning how to master our exits and entrances. As we transition to 2024, we have an invitation to let go of the old and embrace the new.

Exits and entrances are an integral part of the story God wants to tell through our lives. It can be easy to miss what God is doing in the present if we are still looking to the past. Learning how to recognize and respond to God's leadership in times of transition will help us take hold of His plans for us!

In this episode of Conversations, John and Lisa share powerful insights on how to end one season well so we can enter the next with expectancy! Join us for practical strategies to start the new year with momentum!

There is no denying the sting of rejection. These painful moments can bring up questions about ourselves, others, and maybe even God.

How can we begin to move forward into a place of healing and strength?

We don?t have to ignore the pain, but we do get a chance to defy it. Instead of carrying that rejection with us, Jesus invites us to shake it off (see Matthew 10:14 NIV). We can be honest about the pain you have experienced, and, at the same time, learn to let it go, lift our heads, and keep moving.

Tune in to this week?s episode of the Conversations podcast (a follow up to the last episode?so make sure to listen to that first if you missed it) as John and Lisa wrap up this important discussion and share practical, actionable takeaways.

Have you recently experienced rejection? Are you struggling to regain your footing after the disappointment?

Whether we experience it in our relationships, career, or beyond, the reality is we will all face rejection at many points in our lives.

The natural response to rejection usually involves feelings of anger, shame, and self-doubt. While these may be our initial reactions, we don't have to remain stuck in them. Rejection is painful, but rest assured: you can find the strength to rise above it!

In this episode, John and Lisa open up about their personal experiences with rejection and share powerful insights they learned as they persevered through these challenging times. You won?t want to miss this one!

Are you in search for an antidote to anxiety, exhaustion, and hopelessness?

Anxiety speaks fear, but Jesus speaks peace. In 1 Peter 5:7, we read, "cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you." The weights of the world are not ours to carry, yet many of us feel the strain of our situations. This might be because we struggle to hand them over. What does it look like to say "I trust you with this God"? How can we reach that place of complete surrender?

Join us for part 2 of a conversation on fighting off discouragement & despair on this week?s episode.

?When can I get a break?? If you?ve ever found yourself wishing you could get some relief from the battles of life, this episode is for you!

Many find themselves weary. It's easy to get worn down by the weights of life and find yourself living in a constant state of unrest. The enemy wants to use the destructive forces of despair and discouragement to get you to give up. We all face this temptation at times?but we don't have to give into it. Instead, we must learn to counter these tactics of the enemy, take heart, and live in true hope!

Tune in to this episode of the Conversations podcast as John and Lisa give you some powerful tools to overcome discouragement. You won't want to miss it!

What if God is using the delays in your life for a greater purpose?

Like the trials faced by Joseph, David, and Daniel, delays will refine the purity of your desires, and help you to lean into God's promises as the source of your hope.

These delays, as challenging as they may seem, play a crucial role in building the character necessary to fulfill God's promises.

In this episode of the Conversations podcast, join John and guest Arden Bevere as they discuss practical insights on navigating the waiting season, guarding your heart against discouragement and despair, and anchoring yourself in the promises of God.

Tune in to be equipped to lean into God's unwavering promises and to learn how to embrace God's work in your life as you wait for them to come to pass!

Have you ever wondered if you're unknowingly putting a ceiling on God's activity in your life? If you haven't, you might be asking that question now!

Join John and special guest Arden Bevere in today's episode of Conversations as they explore the question: Are you limiting God?

Together, they delve into Scripture, share personal stories, and discuss the factors that potentially hold God's power at bay in our lives.

They address how unbelief, delayed obedience, and a lack of prayer can hinder God's work in our lives. You'll walk away with fresh motivation to remove these limitations and unlock everything God has for you.

Tune in and learn how to take the ceiling off your life!

In a world vying for our allegiance, the challenge to fix our eyes on Jesus becomes paramount to our discipleship journey. Where your eyes go, you will soon follow.

Join us on this episode of Conversations with John and Lisa Bevere as we address those pesky distractions, renew our minds through scripture, and learn how to stand firm against external pressures!

Gain practical insights on countering fear's lies and staying anchored in truth. Prepare to confidently answer for your faith in any moment. Tune in to fortify your focus!

Did you know that a staggering 83% of those in our culture believe that truth is relative? On top of that, 70% consider church irrelevant, and a whopping 46% live in anxiety. Could it be these realities are somehow connected?

In this episode of Conversations, John & Lisa do a deep dive into the cost of believing that you know better than God does when it comes to determining what is best for your life. They speak to how we as followers of Christ are called to resist the current of our culture, providing practical strategies for doing that effectively.

If you want to build a faith that endures to the end and find true peace in this chaotic world, you won?t want to miss this episode!

Every Sunday, millions of churches around the globe offer an opportunity for salvation. But are we engaging the true power of repentance? Is this why many leave the church's four walls unchanged?

In today's episode, we challenge the notion of knowing Jesus as merely "Savior" while exploring the significance of counting the cost before uttering the "sinner's prayer."

The Word of God is everything you need to engage in spiritual warfare.

As Christians, we know that our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of evil.

In this episode of "Conversations with John and Lisa Bevere," we discuss how you can't attack these forces with physical weapons but rather spiritual weapons.

Join us as we delve into how Scripture teaches us to take up arms, resist, fight, and defeat our enemy.

Do you know your enemy?

Western culture has reduced the devil to a little red, mythical creature holding a pitchfork. But, as believers, it's crucial to understand that the devil and his companions are real?existing only to defile, divide, and conquer the image bearers of God.

Through this two-part series, we will explore the Scriptures and examine the enemy's tactics and devices so that you know how to fight when he attacks.

Join us on today's episode of Conversations with John and Lisa Bevere as we share practical insights on how to identify and shut down every one of the enemy's schemes. Tune in to this empowering, eye-opening discussion.

Have you ever wondered if God hears your prayers?

In a world increasingly built for disconnection, we must create space for intentional words with God.

Here?s the good news: God longs to have conversations with us more than we long to have them with Him.

In today?s episode, we?re joined by a special guest, Addison Bevere, as we discuss what it means to wrestle with God.

Are you ready for revival to sweep the land?

Revival is here?and as God?s Spirit continues to move, it may cause division among believers.

But Jesus says, ?...No one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins.? (Mark 2:22)

In this episode of Conversations, John and Lisa Bevere dive into how we can catch His heart for all He wants to do in our nation.

Tune in now for an enlightening conversation that will inspire you to throw off spectatorship and move with God, even when it looks different.

Want to unlock life as God TRULY intends it?

Lasting legacy, wisdom, protection, peace, safety, and joy?these are just a few of over 40 promises given in Scripture for those who fear the Lord.

In this episode of Conversations, we discuss how embracing a healthy fear of God ?flips the narrative? of our lives.

Diving into Scripture, and sharing practical examples from our own lives, we'll unpack how developing holy fear raises you to a higher level of living?one that?ll leave a generational impact.

Don?t miss out on this conversation jam-packed with life-changing wisdom!

With only one week left til the launch of John's new book, The Awe of God, we wanted to dedicate this episode to sharing some of the heart behind this message.

So many think the fear of the Lord is just an Old Testament message that has little application to our lives today?but is this true? Scripture does say that perfect love casts out fear?but does that really mean that holy fear shouldn't be a part of our lives as New Testament believers?

In this episode, John shares how Jesus delighted in the fear of the Lord, and how, if we want to walk intimately with Him and fulfill what He?s called us to do, we must do the same.

How do you truly develop a healthy, holy fear of God in your life? Strap yourself in, tune into this powerful conversation with John and Lisa, and discover how you can cultivate this in your own life in today?s episode of Conversations!

According to a recent Barna study, church dropouts have risen to 64%. Only one in four Americans are a practicing Christian?a number that has dropped in half since 2000. Why? What is missing from our churches?

In this week?s episode of Conversations, John and Lisa Bevere dive deep into the often missing ingredient for true intimacy with God: the fear of the Lord.

Fearing God is very different than being afraid of God. Instead, it?s the key to everything.

Join us as we discuss how this healthy, holy, and largely forgotten virtue is the uncommon path to a more fulfilled and fruitful life.

As we kick off 2023, we want to share how we set our focus for the year ahead.

We all want to start our year off right, but how many of us know that a little distraction or deviation can quickly derail everything? That?s why we want to prepare you with focus.

The power of focus will eliminate confusion and help you meet your goals. As the saying goes, ?You become what you behold."

Join us as we launch the first episode of the New Year with a conversation about focus, and through sharing some of our personal stories, we hope you?ll leave equipped, empowered, and ready to take on 2023.

Before we rush into the new year, we thought it would be valuable to spend this episode of the Conversations Podcast reflecting back on some of the key takeaways from 2022.

In this episode, we?re diving into some of the key lessons we learned personally over this last year, as well as offering some thoughts on what happened in the world. A lot happened in 2022, and we?re talking about it here!

What are some lessons you learned over this last year? Take the time to do some personal reflection of your own so you can cement these things in your heart?as well as let go of the things you don?t need to carry forward into the next year! Praying this episode helps you in your own process as you sort through this last year and find your focus heading into 2023!

Ignorance is bliss, right? Wrong. When it comes to marriage, what we don't know often causes us untold amounts of frustration and heartache. Today on Conversations, we want to talk about four things we wish we would have known decades ago.

Our goal in sharing these lessons is that we can deposit these life-altering, marriage-changing truths into your life so that you can learn from our mistakes. From watching your words, to investing in the right people, our sincere hope is that this episode will help you get where you want to go faster, while avoiding some of the common pitfalls we fell into along the way.

This conversation is jam-packed with wisdom that you don?t want to miss out on!

Are you losing hope and feeling like you have nothing to look forward to in your family or marriage? Over the last forty years, we've grown and changed in many ways, but one of the best things we've done has been learning to find more joy in each other and in our family.

Joy can be hard to find?especially when you are struggling to keep the right perspective in challenging seasons. On this episode of the Conversations podcast, we want to give you some essential keys to squeezing a bit more joy out of life?no matter what your current season looks like.

The little things in life all add up, and in this episode, we'll give you some strategies to make the most of them and to begin experiencing a deeper, abiding enjoyment of life.

We are BACK!

As parents, we all want our kids to grow up with a solid grasp on faith and an understanding of who they are created to be in Christ. But how do we truly impart this revelation from one generation to the next?

We are living in a world full of distractions. With all of the noise of our fast-paced, hurried lifestyles, it's critical we learn to slow down, still our hearts, and hear from God.

Today on Conversations, we dive into a most needed conversation?practicing solitude. Do you have a rhythm of being alone with God? Or do you find yourself gravitating toward disconnection and escapism?

There are many differences between merely isolating yourself and intentionally practicing solitude. Our hope for this podcast is that it leaves you inspired to cultivate a new rhythm of rest and connection in the secret place.

What drives your obedience to God? Is it receiving a blessing? Does it come from feeling obligated? Or does it come from a deep love for Him? When it comes to obedience, your motivation matters. A lot. So how do you find the right motivation so you can walk in sustained, long-term obedience to God?

How do you obey even when the road is marked with difficulty and sacrifice?

Today, we discuss the right motivation for long-term obedience?and the blessings that come from it. May this episode help you tap into a more-surrendered and more fulfilling life!

We all participate in team structures. Whether in families, organizations, or community groups, learning to function within a team dynamic is crucial for winning in life, at work, and at home. In today?s Conversations episode, we bring some of the best teachers on leadership?our dear friends and co-MessengerX instructors Lyle Wells and Meredith King! This podcast is a sneak peek at a lesson from their new course Overcoming 5 Team Challenges. You?ll discover practical tools to help you navigate some of the most common pitfalls teams fall into so you can build a more effective, connected team. Tune in to start building toward your team?s success!

Is there ever a time when it's OK to ?cancel? someone? The question itself can seem intense, but cancel culture presents us with some serious dilemmas that we must tackle as a church. 

How can we create an atmosphere that walks in both grace and truth with the ultimate goal of restoration while culture is setting a precedent of shunning and excommunicating those who make mistakes or hold certain opposing viewpoints? 

In this episode of Conversations with John and Lisa, we return to part two on navigating cancel culture. Whether you have questions about being canceled, are facing pressure from the mob of public opinion to cave, or need to process forgiveness, tune in to this conversation for the help you need!

Far too many view God as an overbearing and critical father, sitting with His arms crossed in disapproval of us.

If this is how you see God, it will hold you back in significant ways. You won?t want to be close to Him. You?ll struggle to spend time with Him. You?ll struggle to see yourself and others clearly.  You?ll struggle to live with the confidence that comes from knowing you are a beloved child.

None of this is in God?s true heart for you! Your Father doesn?t just have love for you, He is Love for you! You are made for something untamed, wild, and limitless that can only be found in Jesus! You no longer have to live constantly striving to feel loved. You, beloved, are already fiercely loved.

Today on the Conversations podcast, join us as we discuss the new Fiercely Loved 90-day devotional! It?s time to change the way you think God thinks about you.

Have you ever been a victim of hateful speech or spiteful intolerance and not known how to respond? Or have you ever kept silent for fear of an angry mob of keyboard warriors?

It?s stunning to see how many people think canceling someone is the answer. We are living in a time when people fearlessly air their opinions online and receive the backlash of public silencing and shaming. Sometimes, this even extends into face-to-face conversations.

Cancel culture is an epidemic where people are losing their ability to talk things through. In this pivotal cultural moment, what is the church to do?

Today, we embark on part one of a two-part series discussing Cancel Culture and how we as Christians should respond to this growing movement.

May this conversation equip you to be an agent of healing in a culture of division.

Holy week is upon us, and fittingly, a meditation on the cross and the role it plays in our lives as followers of Jesus. Many understand the cross as a historical event?but how do we bring the realities of what Jesus accomplished at Calvary into our present-day lives? Two thousand years later, Jesus's death, burial, and resurrection are still where our faith derives its power! Today?s podcast will teach you all about the unstoppable power of the cross and how we can wield it to overcome the enemy!

When it comes to spiritual disciplines, most of us prioritize a select few?reading the Scriptures, praying, and being a part of a community. One practice that often gets overlooked is fasting. In this Conversations episode, we demystify fasting?breaking down popular misconceptions and taking a deep dive into common questions surrounding it. When you learn what fasting is all about, and how to engage with God through it, you will connect with Him like never before and position yourself for greater growth. We pray that this episode of the Conversations podcast helps you to develop a vision and passion for fasting.

Every parent wants to raise kids who fulfill their god-given potential in life. A big part of that is teaching them how to become good stewards of one of God's most amazing gifts?their bodies.

Do you have high joy levels?

We see clearly in Scripture that joy is a fruit of the Spirit, but how do we walk in joy when our circumstances are less than ideal? 

The truth is, when your attitude is based on the eternal things of God, you will be able to walk in joy no matter your circumstances. This is what we?re diving into this week on Conversations with John and Lisa. 

Listen in and learn how to operate with joy even when it doesn?t make sense.

We hope this episode empowers you to walk in joy no matter what is happening around you!
