Why Do I Do Everything Around Here and How Do I Get Others to do More?
In this video, Ivy reflects on the biblical story of Mary and Martha and the tension so many of us feel between work and rest in our faith journey. In a culture that celebrates productivity and constant busyness, it’s easy to believe that doing more automatically means we’re being faithful.
But Jesus gently reminds us that while laboring for God’s Kingdom is good, sitting at His feet—seeking Him first—is what matters most. Like Mary and Martha, we are called to discern our seasons, recognizing when to serve and when to slow down, so busyness doesn’t crowd out intimacy with Jesus.
This is an invitation to examine our rhythms, our priorities, and our hearts—choosing presence over pressure and devotion over distraction.

What is Mentoring? (Explained)
What does mentoring really mean in the Kingdom of God? 🤍
Jennelle unpacks mentoring as more than guidance—it’s influence that helps people grow spiritually and advance God’s Kingdom through their everyday lives. She breaks down seven key components of effective mentoring: personal consecration, trust, authenticity and transparency, accountability, giving assignments, modeling the way, and releasing.
Biblical mentoring isn’t about creating followers—it’s about empowering others to walk confidently in their God-given gifts and passions, and then pass that influence on to others. When mentoring is done well, it leads to spiritual multiplication, not dependence.

Is Your Group Stuck or even Asleep? How to Revive a Lethargic Group
What makes a small group, Bible study, or equipping group truly effective? It’s not just the curriculum—it’s the culture you create. 🤍
In this reel, Ivy shares three essential practices that help cultivate an environment where the gospel can move powerfully and real spiritual growth can take root: praying with one another in intentional prayer groups, leading with clarity and presence to establish order and safety, and building discipleship through genuine one-on-one connection outside of group meetings.
When women are prayed for, seen, and personally invested in, transformation follows. These simple but intentional rhythms help move groups beyond surface-level discussion into authentic discipleship and Kingdom impact.
If you’re leading—or feeling called to lead—a women’s Bible study, small group, or equipping space, this is for you.

Why the Exodus, Law of God, and Cross STILL Matter
What does true freedom actually look like — and how do we walk in it today?
Susie walks us through three transformative moments in history: the Exodus, the giving of the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai, and the cross of Jesus Christ — and what they reveal about freedom, love, and wholeness in the 21st century.
God desires our freedom, but Scripture shows us that freedom was never meant to exist without direction. God’s law doesn’t restrict us — it restores us, teaching us how to rightly love God, love others, and love ourselves. True freedom is anchored in values greater than self and aligned with God’s design.
At the cross, Jesus doesn’t just forgive — He restores. His sacrifice brings us back to wholeness and reconnects us to our original purpose as image-bearers of God.
This message also invites believers into a deeper, lived faith — growing in freedom and wholeness through engaging with Scripture, walking with the Holy Spirit, living in biblical community, and actively cooperating with what God is teaching us.
📖 Watch and lean into the freedom that leads to fullness.

Beware of Counterfeit Kings
Comparison has a cost — and Scripture shows us exactly how dangerous it can be.
Missy unpacks the warning found in 1 Samuel 8, when Israel demanded an earthly king despite already being ruled by the greatest King of all.
When comparison and covetousness creep in, we begin trading God’s perfect kingship for counterfeits — success, control, approval, productivity, and worldly desire. These false gods promise security but always take more than they give.
Earthly rulers fail. Human systems disappoint. But Jesus reigns differently.
He rules in righteousness.
He gives instead of takes.
He serves instead of dominates.
This message calls us to reject counterfeit kings, resist the spirit of comparison, and fully surrender the throne of our hearts to King Jesus — the only King who truly loves us and leads us in freedom.
👑 Watch, reflect, and choose allegiance to the One who reigns forever.

God Can’t Create a Steadfast Spirit Within You Without Pruning You First
Transformation doesn’t grow from feelings — it grows from faithfulness. 🌿
In this moment, Ivy shares an encouraging truth from Strangers in God’s House (Chapter 8): a transformed life is built by abiding in Jesus daily, not by chasing emotional highs.
We’re reminded that consistency and obedience matter more than how we feel. Just like Daniel remaining faithful in Babylon, and Ruth choosing loyalty in uncertainty, real fruit is formed when we stay rooted—praying, forgiving, serving, and showing up even when it’s hard.
Ivy also speaks to the season many don’t understand: pruning.
Not as punishment—but as preparation.
God prunes the branches that already bear fruit so they can multiply even more.
If you’re tired, discouraged, or tempted to give up, this is your encouragement to keep abiding. God sees your potential. He is at work beneath the surface.
Our prayer is that the Lord would renew a steadfast spirit within us as we remain rooted in Him. 🌱

Are You “All In” When it Comes to Worship?
Are you really “all in” when it comes to worship?
Many Christians reduce worship to a song on Sunday—but God designed worship to be holistic, woven into every part of our discipleship and daily lives.
In this conversation, Susie unpacks four dimensions of biblical worship:
• Ritual worship — gathering in community through song, prayer, and sacraments
• Ethical worship — pursuing moral excellence because God Himself is good
• Relational worship — loving God and others sacrificially, just as Jesus commanded
• Devotional worship — daily time with God through prayer and meditation on His Word
When these four aspects work together, worship becomes more than a moment—it becomes a way of life. One that transforms our marriages, families, workplaces, and relationships, teaching us how to love God, others, and even ourselves the way He intended.
True worship isn’t partial surrender.
It’s an all-in life.

Pajama Revelations: Let the Lord Lift You Where the Enemy Cannot Follow
🦅 Carried, not clutched. Covered, not threatened.
In Exodus 19:4, God reveals something breathtaking about His nature:
“I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself.”
This isn’t poetic filler—it’s intentional truth. Eagles don’t carry their young in their talons. They carry them on their backs, soaring so high that predators can’t reach them. And even the few birds that fly higher pose no threat at all.
That’s the picture of God’s protection.
Not fragile. Not uncertain.
But secure, elevated, and unreachable by the enemy.
When God carries you, nothing can snatch you away.
When He leads, you are covered.
When He lifts you, fear loses its grip.
✨ This teaching invites us to stop striving for control and start walking in trust, knowing we are held by a faithful God who keeps His promises.
🎥 Watch as Susie unpacks this powerful revelation and reminds us what it means to truly rest in God’s protection.
Episode 7: Surrendering to Christ’s Lordship
Is the Spirit of Poverty Behind Your Victim Mentality?
Betrayal Hurts…Jesus Heals
Forgiveness isn’t weakness.
It’s warfare. ⚔️
In this moment, Missy speaks on the painful journey of forgiveness after betrayal—where healing doesn’t come from justice, answers, or closure…
but from surrender.
Choosing to forgive doesn’t excuse what was done.
It releases you.
When we place our pain in God’s hands, chains fall, strongholds break, and freedom begins.
Forgiveness is how we stop bleeding and start healing.
✨ If you’re carrying wounds you don’t know how to lay down—this is for you.
