"Come," he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!" Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?"
Demonic activity was the last thing Jill anticipated when asked to house-sit in a beautifully renovated mansion on a state of the art horse farm. The things she would experience there would ultimately lead her on her path to find a new life in Jesus Christ, a force that would not only free her from these evil spirits, but would transform her life completely.

In producing this podcast, its been amazing to hear the many different ways that people hear God's voice. I have been astounded by the amount of people who have heard his clearly audible voice. The Bible is our biggest resource as we seek to know God, and it's important as we interpret what we are hearing. God will never contradict what is stated in his Word.
How does God speak to you? Would you like some free and helpful resources that can help you to have more intimate encounters with Jesus? Jill Monaco's greatest passion is equipping people to hear God's voice and have a breakthrough. In this episode she shares part of her personal testimony, and the four primary ways that people hear from God. We discuss the pros and cons of each, some Biblical examples, and general aspects of communicating with God.

His assignment from Satan was to kill Pastor Craig Groeschel. For twenty years he lived and worked for the enemy. Today he is a redeemed evangelist and minister and is no longer enslaved in darkness. This testimony is a miracle of redemption and a reminder that hope, peace, joy and freedom are available for anyone, regardless of how far they may be from God. Michael shares a few of the pieces of his dramatic story, reflecting back on events of that fateful day where he planned to kill Pastor Craig, and the dramatic change in his life after accepting Jesus Christ as his Savior. A movie is in production called The Adversary, with the goal of completion in late 2021.

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. (NIV)
Abby Mida shares her very personal journey to motherhood. Over four years she experiences the recurring highs of pregnancy and lows of heartbreaking loss. After 6 miscarriages her physicians advise attempting IVF (in vitro fertilization). Abby clearly felt God calling her to wait. She leaned into her faith and was obedient with what she felt God was leading her to do. She and her husband AJ follow God's prompting and wait.
They embark on a 10 month cross country adventure that landed them in beautiful Breckenridge where God had a plan that would change everything! Suddenly God's whisper has changed, "for such a time as this."
Some encouraging take aways from Abby:
Seek God more than your desires and know He is writing your story!
Raw bravery is waiting for the rainbow that hasn't come yet, even when you don't know that rainbow is coming.
Praise Him in the waiting by enjoying worship music.
Surround yourself with support and find prayer warriors.
Strive to find joy in every day in spite of the struggle.
There is a warrior heart inside of you. Don't give up!
Trust God and know you are never alone!
Thank you Abby, for being such an encourager and shining the light of Jesus! Your testimony will bless anyone who is experiencing a battle, or struggling in their time of waiting.
