Beyond the Building

The story of David and Goliath doesn’t end when the giant falls. Today’s final episode in our Giants series shows that one man or woman can make a difference in his or her family for generations to come. Generational giants can be defeated once and for all allowing the story to shift from years of defeat to years of victory ahead!

When you think there is no end to the giant you are facing, today’s episode shares the powerful truth that every giant can and will fall under the authority of Jesus Christ. If you are feeling hopeless or defeated today, this one is for you. It will boost your faith and keep your mind focused on the truth.

In our second episode during our month-long series called “Giants” we again turn to 1 Samuel 17 and focus on drastically different responses to the giant Goliath. King Saul and the entire Israeli army listened to the giant’s taunts for 40 days and remained paralyzed to do anything. David heard the giant just once and was ready to take his stand and fight. How are you responding to the giants in yo...

Welcome to 2024 and welcome to a new series here on Beyond The Building! This month of January we are taking 4 weeks to dive deeply into 1 Samuel 17, a very familiar portion of scripture where David courageously faces and defeats the giant, Goliath, who has tormented all of Israel for 40 days. In this first episode, we focus on being able to identify the giants that we face in our lives today and...

Merry Christmas from Beyond the Building! Join Debbie and Laura for this week’s short, reflective episode as we remember who our Prince of Peace is right from the Word of God.

The declaration from the angels that Messiah had come on the first Christmas came to shepherds, in the middle of the night. While fear would have been the natural response, the angels told the shepherds to ‘behold’. This week Laura shares a testimony this week that shows the truth of beholding. The closer we are to our Messiah, the more our perspective changes and allows us to experience God’s glo...

There is one thing that we can control and that is our thought life. The Bible is clear that when we fix our thoughts on the ONE who is the source of all peace, we find internal peace.

Welcome to the month of December where many are hoping that the “sounds of the seasons”, the egg nog and lights, the family get togethers will result in a moment of peace in their lives. There is only One true source of peace, Jesus, the Prince of Peace.

As followers of Jesus, we want to think that our response to answered prayer will be praise in our mountain top experiences, but we see in the Word of God that praising God on the mountain is not our natural response. Praising Him on the mountain is actually a response of our hearts to the supernatural presence of God with us. Join Debbie and Laura as they look at the story of the 10 lepers who we...

Join Debbie Keever and Laura Piraino as they take a deeper look at the choice Abraham made to worship God in a pivot act of surrender. Standing before an altar where he was moments from sacrificing his own son was worship purely out of obedience. This podcast will encourage each of us to remind ourselves that worship is a choice…even in moments of surrender.

Special guest, Pamela Peoples, received the phone call no mother wants to hear. In the hours that follow, she would go into airplane mode, unable to communicate with family or receive updates about the situation. Her story is a great reminder that in the silent times, God cares, God sees and God has a plan.

We are kicking off a new series for the month of November called “I’ll Praise You Anywhere”. Joining Laura Piraino and Debbie Keever are Chip and Natalie Keever as they share a moving testimony of how the choice to praise the Lord in long seasons of waiting has been an instrument God has used to deepen their faith in Him.

This week we go back to episode 53. The most important feature of anything that is built is the foundation. The health, stability, strength and integrity fully depend on having a foundation that is prepared to stand the test of time. Nicole Theis, founder and president of Delaware Family Policy Council (DFPC) is our special guest today as she shares about how the team at DFPC works daily to equip...

This week we go back to episode 26. We certainly live in a time of great chaos, but in the battles of this life, we can experience great peace. The peace of Christ is living undisturbed by the chaos around us and is only possible when we are fully suited up in the armor of God. God has given us the shoes of peace so we can stand in the struggle rather than collapse when the battle rages on. We can...

This week we go back to episode 25. Our spiritual heart, also known as our soul, is the place that houses our emotions, our thought and our will. The enemy will do everything he can to get to our soul in order to influence our emotions, our thoughts and eventually get our will away from the Father’s will. God has given us a breastplate to guard our hearts in the battles of this life giving new mea...

This week we go back to episode 24. The first piece of the armor that we are to put on is the Belt Of Truth. For the soldier, every piece of armor rests or hangs on his belt. Likewise, in our lives, everything we believe and act upon must align with the truth. The truth is God’s opinion on the matter; what does His Word say to us? Our enemy operates in deception…how important it is then that we wa...

This week we go back to episode 23. Each of us is engaged in a battle with an unseen enemy, Satan. His plan is to steal, kill and destroy all that God has created. The day you received Christ as your Savior, the line was drawn and you became a target for Satan to attack. God has given us His armor, in Ephesians 6, to protect, to empower and to help us stand. Prayer, is the key. It is time to suit...

In Debbie Keever’s second sharing during the Hope Beyond Conference, she focuses on how hold we hold fast to the promises of God and to His character. She pulls this all together as she shares through three very personal life examples where she truly experienced and HE…is then anchor of hope for her soul.

In the second part of Laura Piraino’s testimony, we see that regardless of where we have come from, we always have hope. With Ruth 4 as a basis, we see a woman, Ruth, called exactly who she was and where she had been, but loved and advanced to the hope and future that awaited her. God does the same for us. Be encouraged by this clip from our 2015 women’s conference, Hope Beyond.

In a world where it is hard to see the hope in our difficult circumstances, this week’s episode taken from our Hope Beyond women’s conference speaks to the truth that regardless of where you find yourself, God is working to restore your hope and move in a way that is above and beyond what you could ever image. Join Laura Piraino as she shares her story of finding hope in a hard season and the prof...
