Beyond The 12

If you enjoy a good mystery with a dash of biblical sleuthing, this bonus episode is for you! My friend Eric Niday and I dive into one of Scripture’s most intriguing unnamed figures: the Rich Young Ruler. We don’t claim to have conclusive evidence of his identity (we’ll leave that part to heaven’s archives), but we had a great time piecing together clues, exploring possible backstories, and ponder...

Like old friends settling in for a good chat, I’m back with a bonus episode. Let’s pause for a moment and explore the remarkable life of Abraham — a true hero of the faith. Now, time won’t let us unpack every twist and turn of his incredible story, but we’ll hit the highlights that simply can’t be missed. This man who carried a promise straight from God’s own lips knew confusion and fear just like...

In this season finale, we wrap up our conversation on what it means to be set apart . I'm joined once again by my friend Eric Niday as we reflect on this season’s powerful lineup of biblical giants. Each story we explored holds incredible meaning and timeless relevance for every believer. These lives were ordinary yet extraordinary, faithful yet flawed, willing yet often hesitant—just like you and...

The Son of Man—and also the Son of God. The Lion of Judah, yet the Lamb of Heaven. The First and the Last, Prince of Peace, King of Kings, Messiah, Savior, Redeemer. These are just a few of the many powerful names used to describe Jesus the Christ. On this episode of Beyond The 12 , I’m honored to introduce my final guest of the season, Pastor Barry Foster, and together, we’ll explore the life and...

What a fruitful journey this season has been so far! With each episode, we’ve been gathering spiritual insights—evidence of God’s faithfulness and the growth He’s bringing into our lives. In the spirit of that harvest, this episode is no exception. I’m honored to be joined by my dear friend and fellow truth-seeker, Julie Hammer, as we take a thoughtful look at the life of the prophet Elijah. His s...

In our discussion this week, I welcome my husband, Ronnie, back to the show to talk about the life of Noah.  Noah was a man the bible says was seen as righteous during a time when very, very few others were known for that.  He was asked by God to follow a set of detailed plans in order to save humanity.  I can only imagine the gossip around town.  But being lucky enough to read the end of the book...

Welcome to Beyond The 12 where we believe everyone is set apart by God for His purposes to glorify His Kingdom.  There is no greater place than in the middle of God's plans for you.  On this episode, I'm introducing another friend of mine, Terry Marshall.  Terry is an elder at our shared church home where he imparts his years of wisdom into the leadership as well as the congregation.  We discuss t...

Episode 7 is a "kaleidoscope" of characters.  In keeping with our theme of set apart, we are introducing a new biblical character multiple times on this episode.  I'm bringing back my friend, mentor, boss of sorts, and brother in Christ, Keith Napier, to give us an update on Kingdoms United and to add his two cents to this season.  Keith doesn't disappoint; he brings an update, wisdom and a boatfu...

God's plans for us are always good, but sometimes they don't seem logical.  We can trust God and know that He has our best interest in mind.  We can commit our lives to Him knowing that the future is safe in His hands.  In episode 6, my friend Maddy and I discuss a very difficult time in the life of King Jehoshaphat, an early King in Judea's history.  By all accounts, as you enter into battle send...

What have you been set apart for to accomplish for God?  Is there a giant that you know you can defeat, a people group that you can defend, a word of encouragment that you can share to bring hope, an area of expertise that you are supernatually gifted at to save lives, or maybe a talent or gift that you were born with to inspire and motivate peace and love in audiences small and great?  Whatever i...

This season is flying by, we are on week 4 already.  I'm having a blast talking with my guests about some of the most dynamic people from the bible who found themselves being used by God to change the world for His glory.  In episode 4, we are discussing the life of Saul, also known as Paul, and how his life altering encounter with the resurrected Jesus uprooted the plans to destroy the followers...

On this episode, I welcome my sweet friend Winter Burnett to help me discuss the story of Esther.  How could such a young woman carry such a heavy burden.  She literally became the hero to an entire generation of Jewish people.  She was sent down a very unlikely path in life but it was for the glory of God.  Can you relate?  Winter shares a personal story of stepping out in faith for God when He c...

What a great season this will be.  Thank you so much for tuning in.  On this episode I'm joined once more by my friend John Ostenson as we dive deeper into the topic of being set apart.  John chose to talk about the life of Gideon, a lesser known character in the bible but no less important in God's plan to save His people.  My challenge to you this season is to meditiate on the lives of the indiv...

Welcome to Season 3 of Beyond The 12.  With fresh vision, we return to give you another season of encouragement and practical advice on how to succeed as a disciple of Jesus.  I'm joined by my friend John Ostenson, co creator of this season, as we introduce you to the theme, content and vision for the next 10 weeks.  Thank you for faithfully following the Lord and for tuning in each week.  May you...

Happy New Year!!  This Season 2 bonus episode is full of encouragement for you as you step into the new that God has planned for you in 2025.  Partner with me and my dear friend Keith Napier to position our hearts to be open and ready for all the spiritual purpose this year holds.  I hope you had a wonderfully blessed Christmas holiday and a happy and bright New Year's celebration.  This will be o...

On the season 2 finale, we will review the season and take a peek at what's next for BTT.  Season 2 was all about how we as disciples of Christ can magnify the Lord.  I want to personally thank each of my guests for joining me this season and lending me their unique perspectives.  As we draw nearer and nearer to the day of salvation, I want to encourage you to lean into God and make a regular appo...

With this season almost in the bag, I have one more treat up my sleeve.  Join me as I sit down with my friend Jadyn Walker and we talk about making God bigger through the acts of praise and worship.  We discuss the similarities and differences between these two concepts and point out why they are each so crucial in the life of every Jesus follower.  It can be intimidating to learn to praise God an...

Hey friends, welcome back.  On episode 10 we are still magnifying God but this time we are discussing ways we can serve Him in faith.  I hit on some familiar verses that highlight why it's important to serve God.  Then I list some practical ways anyone can give their time and talents to glorify Him.  I even ask some of my family members how they serve God in special ways.  As always, thank you for...

Listen in as we continue our discussion on magnifying the Lord.  In episode 9, we are diving into how to exalt the name of God in our most difficult days.  When the pressure is on and we feel surrounded by trials and troubles on all sides, what do we do to cling to hope.  Finding peace and comfort in the Word of God is our only choice.  I'm welcoming my husband Ronnie back today to help me, so joi...

We are continuing our journey into the exploration of Magnifying The Lord in this episode.  Today I'm sitting down with my friend Luke Ostenson, a young adult from our shared church home, to discuss what it looks like to walk out our faith in action.  I've had the privledge of watching Luke step boldly into the calling God has placed on his life and I think he's done an excellent job.  Luke walks...

Do you have a healthy prayer life?  In this episode, I sit down with my friend and co-laborer in Christ Keith Napier to talk about prayer.  In preparing for this episode, I did a bit of research...did you know the number of prayers in the bible is a whopping 650 plus with 25 of them being recorded as prayers from Jesus.  And with that many prayers you can't expect them to all be the same flavor. ...

Welcome to episode 6 in the Magnify The Lord series.  On this show, we discuss how you can focus in on God in His Word...the Bible.  The Bible isn't always easy to read though so extra resources can be invaluable when it comes to understanding this historical book.  You can find wisdom and knowledge within it's pages but you must take that first step of deciding to read it and it's best read front...

In this episode, I'm joined by my friend Terri Freeman as we discuss how we Magnify The Lord when no one is watching.  Is our christian character formed in our alone time?  Are the decisions we make when no one else is watching us of any importance if no one knows?  It's the age old question, does a tree that falls in the forest make a sound when no one is around to hear it.  We think yes!  Enjoy...

Join in the conversation on how to Magnify The Lord on episode 4 of Beyond The 12.  We can use our words and testimony to bring glory and attention to God and raise His standing in the lives of those around us.  My special guest on this discussion is Grace Patchen, a dynamic young woman with a heart of gold and a passion for Jesus that won't easily be quenched.  Listen in as she shares how her exp...

Join us in episode 3 as we discuss how the spiritual gifts can help us magnify the Lord.  I'll share some personal struggles I've faced that have helped me see more clearly what the Holy Spirit has for me.  As always, I'm thrilled you would choose to spend time with us here at Beyond The 12.
