In this episode, we encourage listeners that baptism opens the heart to hear the Word of God and receive it as truth. Through Luke 7:29, we discuss how rejecting repentance can lead to rejecting the Word itself. In Acts 19, we see that John’s baptism prepared hearts to believe in the Lord Jesus, and when Paul laid hands on them, they received the Holy Spirit, spoke in tongues, and prophesied.

This episode encourages believers not to reject the heavenly realm because of earthly fear, unbelief, or religious rhetoric, but to remain open to the fullness of God’s Word and Holy Spirit.

What do we do in the quiet seasons of life when God feels silent and nothing seems to be moving? In this episode, Dodi and I talk about trusting the Lord in those still moments and not growing weary in well doing. We discuss laying down old habits, false identities, and accusing voices as we learn to live from a higher spiritual place in Christ. Dodi shares her testimony of how she made the resolve to follow the Lord without compromise

when things appear still, but preparation is happening before the next big move. Sometimes God is doing His deepest work in the quiet. As we wait on Him, we are reminded not to conform to this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds.

There is power in speaking the Word of God out loud. In this episode, we gather around Psalms 86—not just to read it, but to declare it over our families, our churches, and our communities. We are asking the Lord to teach us His ways, to unite our hearts in truth, and to help us walk closely with Him in every season.

This conversation is an invitation to seek Him together. To slow down, listen, learn, and allow His Word to shape the way we live, speak, and love others. As we lift up Psalms 86, we pray it strengthens weary hearts, brings peace in uncertainty, and reminds us that God is near to all who call on Him in truth.
