I am honored to have Amber Albee Swenson back on the podcast to talk about her newly released book, “The Key to Confidence:Where to Go When You Feel You’re Not Enough.” Amber says, right up front, this is not a self-help book, because you self is the last place you should look when you are feeling worthless, fearful, depressed or filled with anxiety. Rather this is a book that points you God and helps you discover how you can live with greater boldness and joy. You can check out Amber’s books an...

Charlie Lewis states, “God’s system is not religious, is relational. So if His system does’t operate religiously, then how does it operate?” In his book, Kingdomnomics, Charlie shares how Scripture is clear that there are dynamics of choice – an interactive system of competing and conflicting forces. Charlie expands on these comments and reseponds to the following questions. What is Kingdomnomics? Why is it important that we understand the dynamics of conduct and behavior? Why is the dynamic of ...

Near-death experiences give us a glimpse of what awaits each of us on the other side of the veil, but not all NDE and related experiences are equally edifying and helpful. Over the course of his 7+ years of working with near-death experiencers, Shaun Tabatt began to see concerning patterns emerging in these stories that were intentionally leading people down dark and dangerous spiritual paths. That’s when he realized there’s a conspiracy afoot. In his new book The NDE Conspiracy, Shaun reveals t...

Psalm 119:40 says, “How I long for your precepts! In your righteousness preserve my life.” This verse expresses a deep, fervent desire for God’s precepts(law, statutes, and commandments) and for our preservation through His righteousness. Basically, this verse is asking for a life guided by and restored by God’s Word and His justice. Today is the week in our 8-week series on Psalm 119:33-40. Each week I have taught verse by verse and broken down their meaning. Psalm 119 is the longest Psalm. It’...

Psalm 119:39 says, “Take away the disgrace I dread, for your laws are good.” Another way of saying this verse would be: God take away the scorn, shame, disgrace and negative consequences that we fear for not living in alignment to You. Also, protect us from the negative consequences others would put upon us for following after You, God, and trusting in You and Your ways. After today we only have one week left.

Psalm 119:38 says, “Fulfill your promise to your servant, so that you may be feared.” This verse is often a cry of our hearts. That we would see God confirm His Word and promises to us because we are dedicated to serve Him and we revere Him. The word of God says, His promises never fail and they stand firm. However during times of difficulty our hearts cry out to God to show us and to make good on His promises. Continue with me during this 8-week series on Psalm 119:33-40. Each week I will teach...

Psalm 119:37 says “Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your word.” This verse is a plea/prayer asking for renewed vision, and a strength to look away from things that are worldly and not aligned with God’s Kingdom or for our spiritual gain. Rather, that we would be quickened to and grow in the truth of Gods Word. Continue with me during this 8-week series on Psalm 119:33-40.

Psalm 119:36 says, ”Turn my heart toward your statutes and not toward selfish gain.” We all need to escape the path/road to selfish gain and our own selfish desires. This verse is a powerful decree and a direct request for God to direct our hearts towards loving Him, His commandments and His word. In addition to us not being trapped by the dangers of greed, material possessions or accolades. Instead the request is to turn our hearts and give us a desire for spiritual pursuits. Continue with me d...

Psalm 119:35 says, “Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight.” Did you know that the word for direct in this verse means to bend like an archers bow?

Join me for an 8-week series on Psalm 119:33-40. Each week I will teach verse by verse and break down their meaning. Psalm 119 is the longest Psalm. It’s a hymn of praise and appreciation for God’s instruction. God not only gave His people land, but He gave them His blueprint, the Torah for living. Each section in Psalm 119 coincides with a Hebrew letter and highlights attributes of God’s instructions to His people. All of Psalm 119 is an acrostic poem that moves through each letter of the Hebre...

God has designed each of us to live joyful, victorious and successful lives. But as we look around at the world today, it seems very few people’s lives could be described this way. Even among people of faith, constant struggle and worry seem to be the norm. Why is this the case? What keeps us from experiencing the power and triumph that Jesus said and scriptures declare would mark His followers? Did you know that Jesus’ main message while here on earth was about the Kingdom of God and making it ...

Today on the podcast I share a prophetic vision and two prophetic words God gave me during a time a worship earlier this month. God is calling us to be Spiritual Windmills for Him. To allow the wind of His Spirit to blow over our lives to generate and propel His power through us. John 3:8 says, “The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit".

In his new book, “A Devil Named Lucifer, Uncovering the Daibolical Life of Satan and How to Resist Him,” award-winning biographer Jared Brock sorts through the myths and misinformation about the devil. Despite growing secularization, our culture still pays a lot of attention to the devil. He shows up everywhere from movies to music and is blamed for all sorts of crimes, natural disasters, and the policies of politicians we don't like. Yet in the Bible, Satan is barely present, barely speaks, and...

For the last 10+ years, at the beginning of the New Year, I have asked God to give me ONE Word, phrase, or thought to focus on and go deeper with Him during that season. I also ask Him to give me an anchor Scripture to mediate on and study more fully. This year He gave me the Word TRUST. He began by asking me, “Debbie, do you trust me?” I started to say, “Yes, I trust You, Lord.” But I knew the question meant, there was some area of my life where I needed to work on trusting Him more. He also gv...

The Lord spoke to me that 2025 is a tone-setting year. A foundational year that will set the tone for the years to come. It is pivotal that we set ourselves up for success - not worldly success but Kingdom success. To “Set the Tone” for the year, means our initial choices, actions, words, and decisions will influence the trajectory of future events and help to establish a standard moving forward.

Did you know that the word covenant is found throughout the Olt and New Testament, in fact it is used 2,895 times depending on the version you read. Covenant is on the heart of God and not only does He extend these Biblical covenants to us, He invites us to covenant with Him!

The Lord spoke to me that 2025 is a year to prioritize thankfulness and that no matter the situation or circumstance we must learn to be thankful. God is good even when things don’t look good. We must change our focus and fix our mindset to what the Kingdom of Heaven says. Psalms 100:4 says, “ Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.” What can you do this year to prioritize thankfulness in your life and begin living with an attitude of...

In December, the Lord spoke to me and said, “2025 is to be a year of Sowing.” When I released the full word the Lord gave me to share in January, part of the word had to do with us being intentional and careful with what we are sowing this year with our words, actions, and deeds. Today, we are tackling the topic of sowing and reaping and what God has in mind for us to sow into for 2025. The Parable of the Sower isn’t just about receiving the Gospel, but it has to do with our hearts and how we ar...

"Choosing the better thing" means to choose or select the option that holds greater value or importance.

This week I want to look at what it means to choose the better thing, and how we may need to bring a balance to the Martha and Mary within each of us. L...

It is a year of sowing, a year of covenant, a year of prioritizing thankfulness, and an invitation to choose the “better thing.” And as you press in to implement these thin...

She also discusses the many parallels between ancient Jewish weddings and Jessus and the Bridegroom with the Church as His Bride. We discussed m...
