Beyond the Building

Welcome to a brand new year of Beyond The Building! This past fall we shared some reflections from the journey of Beyond Women’s Conference over the past decade!

Join Debbie and Laura in the series called Incredible Stories as they take a look at the lives of Elizabeth and Zechariah as they too, carried labels that did not make sense when they heard the message brought by the angel Gabriel.

It seems we all have a lot of moving pieces in our lives these days. Our country, our families and our own hearts experience moving pieces and we need to know how to respond according to the Word of God. Why do the pieces move around us? Join Debbie and Laura to understand 4 reasons the pieces move found in the story of Moses.

A quick analogy of a doing a puzzle shows us how God puts the pieces together in our stories in order to bring about a beautiful end. Are you struggling with something that seems out of order or a piece that seems to be missing? God’s Word provides truth for us in these situations. Join Debbie and Laura today.

Influencers are people whose opinions compete for your attention. Influencers can be in your family, in your peer group and in culture itself. The choice you need to make is: will you value God’s opinion of you more than the opinion of an influencer?

In a performance driven society, we can get tangled in the lie that our identity is found in the strengths that God has given us. Culture seeks to glorify what we do and how well we do it. What we find in this episode is that our strengths are tools that God gives us in order to live out our purpose, but never intended to define who we are.

Good or bad, we often allow our past to define who we are today. Christ has made us to live out our purpose in this moment we find ourselves in today, not tied to memories of yesterday. This episode shares the freedom we can experience by living who we are and what we are called to be totally free today.

The cry of every human heart is to know WHO they are and what their PURPOSE for living is. The only One who has the right to define you, to declare your purpose for living…is the One who created you.

Times in our lives where the heat gets turned up seem like they are purposed to bring us down, but what we find when our eyes are fixed on Jesus is that these times are actually purposed to bring on the power! What if we viewed our challenges as opportunities for God’s power to be on display in our lives? Join us this week as we look at Daniel in the lion’s den and how an entire nation was turned...

Join Debbie and Laura as they share from Daniel 3 using the R.E.A.D.S. study tool. Join the conversation by studying this passage on your own following the method shared in episode 92 to hear what God would speak to you personally through this passage!
