Beyond the Building

Daniel 3 shares the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, three men who decided to follow the one true God. Making that decision set them apart and being set apart led to a moment of personal crisis like they had never experienced before! It was in that fiery place that Jesus met them. He didn’t spare them from going into the fire, but he was with them every step of the way. Feeling the heat t...

This week we begin our new series, When the Heat Gets Turned Up.  Join Debbie and Laura as they look at Daniel 1 and the way God prepared four young men for a challenging season ahead.  What God showed them will prepare us for our challenging seasons as well.

God created us to be whole body, soul, and spirit. Wholeness comes with staying within the boundaries God has established.

As you listen to this episode, ask the Lord how He would lead you to maintain wholeness through boundaries in these areas of your life.

Boundaries can be a tricky thing to navigate in our relationships. What are healthy boundaries in relationships and how can you establish and maintain these boundaries God has given for your good? Check out this week’s episode to find out.

Can we live life to the full when we find ourselves in an unexpected season? Psalm 1 talks about living planted by the rivers of life. This spiritual analogy shows the truth that our roots need to go deep into the Word if we want to bear fruit, but what about when we are no longer ‘planted by the river’ we used to be planted by in our past season? Using the lemon tree as an analogy, Debbie and Lau...

We often talk about how hard it is to be in the middle of a season, but another significant challenge takes place when a season ends leaving you feeling empty and out of place. Looking at the life of Jesus today, we discuss today the correct way to respond and how to steward the journey out of the season you are in.

We have a special guest joining Debbie and Laura today on Beyond the Building to walk us through Psalm 23 where we see the Good Shepherd’s presence and His strategic plan unfolding in our lives in the different seasons we might find ourselves.

Join Laura and Debbie as they begin their April podcast series called, “Seasons”. This week we focus on the important reminder in the Word of God that we are to steward well every moment we are in…in every season. We should practice being present in the moment rather than wishing we were in the next season.

Any God-given dream will come with resistance. This week, Debbie and Laura look at Joseph’s journey in Genesis 37-41 to see that while we may have resistance in our circumstances, from other people and in our own hearts to the dream God has given, nothing can stop what God has planned. Be encouraged today if you are feeling resistance to your dream. It is actually evidence that God is on the move!

What sounds like a cliche is actually a powerful truth that can change the way you view your role in any relationship. Using Jesus as the example, Paul shares how relationships will thrive when we serve one another. Humility is the first step. The next is to guard ourselves against grumbling. What does that mean? The definition might surprise you. Join Debbie Keever and Laura Piraino for the fourt...

Join us for this freeing message as Laura Piraino shares a testimony of a time when she recognized that struggles in relationships don’t end when we surrender our will to the one we struggle with, but when both parties surrender their wills to God.

This week’s edition of Beyond the Building focuses on the principles found in Song of Solomon 2:15. Most relationships struggle not from the big misunderstandings, but rather, from a culmination of the small areas of conflict. We need to be diligent to watch over the vineyards of our relationships- we need to beware of the little foxes that subtly destroy the good fruit.

Week 1 reminds us to utilize every tool in our Biblical toolbox in order to keep the peace in our relationships.
