Equip & Empower Podcast with Christine Caine

Shame has been a tool of the enemy from the beginning of time. It’s something he uses time and again to distract us and lure us to pull back from God and off track from our purpose. But through Jesus, we have the ability to defeat shame once and for all. Today’s episode will empower you to do just that by remembering the unchanging source of your value, worth, and purpose - the fact that you were...

God created you and he created a specific place for you in this world. It matters to him that you embrace your place.

This episode will empower you to see the purpose God has for you through fresh eyes a...

Oftentimes we spend all of our time telling God what we don’t have when he calls us to something instead of simply giving him what we do have. In this episode we will take a closer look at the Bible story of the little boy who offered up his five loaves and two fish to Jesus who turned that into enough food to feed more than 5,000 people. You will be empowered to start making a difference & taking...

Doing God’s work is not limited to being on staff at a church or being a missionary. Being about the Father’s business is something God challenges every single one of us to do as we go about our day. Every time we show kindness or love to someone in his name, we are doing his work. Every time we speak hope into a hopeless situation in his name, we are doing his work. In this episode, Christine wil...

Oftentimes we look for the next thing, hoping it will be like where we’ve been before but better, or hoping it will be like what we’ve done before but better. But while we are looking for a better version of the next thing, God is planning a completely new thing. In this episode, Christine will equip you to see things as God sees them and wait on his timing for the new thing rather than working so...

The gap between where you are and where God is taking you is called the stretch. The growth you want is in the stretch. The steps to your purpose are in the stretch.

We live in an instant snap and upload world. We can take a selfie and share it with the entire planet in seconds. But when it comes to our spiritual development, it’s more akin to a roll of film being developed in a darkroom. It’s a process that takes time. In this episode, Christine reminds us God will develop our character before he sets us on the path to our purpose, and that must commit to the...

It is God’s will that you would live an abundant, purpose-filled, fruitful life. He has already declared his promises for you - he is waiting for you to step out in faith to take hold of them. Oftentimes, stepping out requires great courage, it requires us to take risks, and God’s directions may not even make sense to us. But this is an opportunity for our faith to grow. In this episode, Christine...

The enemy does not want you to live a passionate life. He wants faith to feel like a boring, religious ritual rather than a life-giving relationship with our Creator. The good news is that we are reminded in John 10:10 that Jesus came to give each of us an abundant life; one full of passion and joy! In this episode, Christine will equip you with tools to fight back against the nine common ways tha...

Today’s episode will equip you to develop daily habits that will strengthen your connection to Jesus so you’re ready for t...

God’s Word is full of promises to you, and all of them are yours for the taking. While he could have just handed them right to us, instead he has designed it so we must learn to take hold of them for ourselves. God knew that learning to take hold of promises for ourselves would help us develop the muscles we need to not just take hold of them, but hold onto them. Today’s episode will you equip you...

God has given you “exceedingly great and precious promises” for this life (2 Peter 1:4). All of these promises are found in God’s Word and are yours for the taking. As believers, however, it is up to us to crossover and go in to possess them. Your journey to your “promised land” begins by making the decision that you will move forward to grab hold of all that God has for you. In this episode, Chri...

The passion principle is the whatever principle.

In this episode, find the encouragement you need to move forward with a God-honoring faith that reaches beyond your comfort zone and int...

The Bible is full of the promises of God. Promises that are filled with life and hope, that relate to every area of our lives. Physically. Emotionally. And spiritually. They are rock-solid, unequivocal commitments made by God himself to us. Because God is faithful, we can be sure that what he has said will come to pass. But to really see them in our lives personally, we’re going to have to take ho...
