How many times have you looked in the mirror and quietly asked yourself, "Am I enough?"
What if everything you've believed about your worth has been built on a lie? Today, we're
uncovering the truth God has been speaking over you all along.

Have you ever wondered…
"Am I good enough?"
"Have I done enough?"
"Will I ever be enough?"
If you've wrestled with comparison, perfectionism, insecurity, or the pressure to prove yourself,
this conversation is for you.
In Episode 2 of our Conversations with Mom series, Pastor Lisa and her daughter Bekah have an
honest conversation about what it truly means to be sufficient in Christ.
Too many women measure their worth by performance, social media, achievements,
relationships, or other people's opinions. But God has never asked us to be perfect; He simply
asks us to trust Him.
Together they discuss:
● Why comparison steals confidence
● How perfectionism keeps us stuck
● Learning to recognize the gifts God already placed inside you
● Building God-confidence instead of self-confidence
● Healing from feelings of not being enough
● Elijah's powerful testimony of overcoming rejection and finding identity in Christ
● Practical ways to strengthen your relationship with Jesus and walk confidently in your
calling
If you've ever questioned your value, this episode will remind you that your identity isn't found
in what you do; it's found in who you are in Christ.
You are already enough because His fullness lives inside of you.

Have you ever wondered why God allows seasons of pressure, waiting, and heartbreak? In this powerful Girls' Night In message, Pastor Lisa Kai reminds us that God never wastes our pain. Just as olives must be crushed before oil can flow, our greatest seasons of pressure often become the birthplace of healing, purpose, and spiritual maturity. If you're walking through disappointment, waiting on God, or wondering why life feels heavy, this conversation will encourage you to stay under His covering, trust the process, and choose life, even when it hurts.

Not every season is meant to feel comfortable. Sometimes God allows the crushing, not to destroy us, but to release what He has already placed inside of us. In this powerful message from Girls Night In, Pastor Lisa Kai challenges us to stop living in yesterday's victories and make room for the new thing God wants to do. Through biblical teaching, personal stories, and practical encouragement, she unpacks how seasons of pressure can either produce fresh oil or leave us trapped in bitterness. Whether you're navigating heartbreak, singleness, disappointment, grief, or simply waiting on God, this episode will remind you that your pain has purpose and that God is still writing your story.

What do you do when God feels silent, prayers feel unanswered, and everyone else seems to be receiving the blessing you've been waiting for? In this deeply honest episode, Bekah and Pastor Lisa unpack what it truly means to trust God in seasons of disappointment, waiting, grief, and uncertainty. From miscarriages and delayed prayers to surrendering control and learning how to celebrate others while still hurting yourself, this conversation is raw, vulnerable, healing, and full of hope. If you've ever asked God,"Why not me?", this episode is for you.

In this new six-week series, Bekah and Pastor Lisa dive into the difficult yet transformative journey of trusting God, especially when life doesn't make sense. Together, they share personal stories about strained relationships, waiting seasons, miscarriage, emotional healing, and learning how to surrender control to God. Through stories of Hannah, Hagar, and Job, they remind listeners that trusting God isn't always pretty; sometimes it looks like crying in your closet, wrestling with disappointment, and choosing faith even when your heart is hurting.

Pastor Lisa reflects on waiting 9 years to conceive, while Bekah opens up about miscarriage, delayed prayers, and how God taught her to celebrate others while still waiting for her own miracle.

This episode is a reminder that:

• Trust isn't transactional.
• Waiting seasons can grow your faith the deepest.
• God sees you in your pain.
• Peace comes from returning to Him again and again.

Whether you're waiting for healing, restoration, a breakthrough, provision, or a promise, this conversation will encourage you to keep trusting God, even when you don't understand the process.

________________________

Throwing it way back this episode holds a special kind of weight.

This marks the very first time Bekah and Pastor Lisa came together for a podcast conversation, diving into a question many people quietly wrestle with: what does it truly mean to be all in with God?

Not halfway. Not casually showing up. But living fully immersed in faith.

Through a powerful and relatable picture of jumping in headfirst despite fear, hesitation, or uncertainty, this episode challenges listeners to move beyond the edge and into full surrender.

For anyone who has ever felt stuck, distracted, or unsure about taking that next step with God, this conversation offers both perspective and encouragement.

Watch now you won't regret it.

In this powerful message from the Arise Conference, Pastor Lisa Kai reminds us that the fullness of Christ isn't something we're waiting to receive; it's something we already carry.

At the Arise Conference, Pastor Lisa Kai delivers a powerful reminder that many believers spend their lives searching for what they already possess.

In this message, she challenges women to stop striving for more and start living from the fullness of Christ already inside them.

Through scripture, personal stories, and bold encouragement, Pastor Lisa reminds us that God has already equipped us with everything we need: patience, joy, authority, perseverance, and power.

What happens when God plants a vision years before you feel ready to carry it?

In this powerful collaboration between Pound for Pound Leadership and the I AM HER Podcast, Pastor Mike and Pastor Lisa Kai share the deeply personal, faith-filled journey behind Arise, from a whispered prayer to a movement now filling the Blaisdell with thousands of women.

This is a conversation about obedience, timing, marriage, leadership, and what it really looks like to say yes to God, even when it's uncomfortable, inconvenient, and requires everything.

In this special collaboration episode of Pound for Pound Leadership Podcast and the I AM HER Podcast, Pastor Mike Kai sits down with his wife, Pastor Lisa Kai, to unpack the story behind Arise, a women's movement that began with a quiet prayer and has grown into a global vision impacting thousands.

Pastor Lisa shares how God began stirring something in her heart 15 years ago, long before she felt ready, and how moments of obedience, confirmation, and even disruption shaped the calling she now walks in. Together, Pastor Mike and Pastor Lisa reflect on leadership within marriage, supporting one another's calling, and stewarding a vision that was never meant to be convenient.

From international conferences to floods that forced last-minute miracles, this episode is a reminder that when God says He's doing a new thing, you have to be willing to perceive it.

If you've ever wrestled with purpose, timing, or stepping into what God has placed inside of you, this conversation will encourage, challenge, and inspire you.
