When you think of the label of "secular" music, do you believe there is anything we can learn from the bands who play those songs? In a moment of fandom (well, more like an hour of fandom!) Apostle Dr. Lee Ann Marino and returning guest Julie Harvey for their reflections and insights on all they've learned from their favorite band - AC/DC - as they await the release of their new album, POWER UP.

We've all heard about the Prophet Elijah and his battles with King Ahab, a wicked king in Israel's history. What we often don't know is just what the Prophet Elijah has to offer us today, in the form of spiritual insights and lessons. Join Apostle Dr.  Lee Ann Marino live as she preaches at NewBirth Worship Center  in Daytona Beach, Florida in 2014 - for a lesson on spiritual changes, shifts, and...

Rizpah is a little-known Biblical figure who, according to her time, was nothing more than Saul's concubine. What she did, however, for the bodies and memories of children who weren't even hers shows us what it means to be an intercessor - a woman of spiritual power - and legacy.  Join Apostle Dr.  Lee Ann Marino live as she preaches at Transformation Church International in Burlington, North Caro...

Racism. Sexism. Mental health. LGBTQ. The church today finds itself at a crux of issues that it, overall, sometimes furthers, without solutions. Others may speak against such discriminations, but do so without ways to handle the problems from a faith perspective. Amidst all the political banter, where do we start in a true healing process? Join Apostle Dr. Lee Ann Marino and guests Angie Littlefai...

Whenever we think of "church," we often have a specific idea of just what church should be and look like. This is especially true when it comes to our concept of just who should be in church, and the relationship "church" has to its people. But who is church for? Who belongs in church? How is all this relevant to our ideas about church - and what needs to change? Join Apostle Dr. Lee Ann  Marino f...

Have you ever asked God to break you - or something you have an issue with - in your life? If you did, what was the outcome? If you haven't, have you thought about it? Join Apostle Dr. Lee Ann  Marino and guests Angie Littlefair and Lex Lewis for an introspective discussion, all coming from three different places about the breaking point in their lives - what it means when we ask God to break us,...

It seems that the whole world - and even the church - want to talk about one thing: sex. Whether it's that you're not having enough of it, doing it wrong, or want it, it is easy to think everyone - everywhere - is doing nothing but thinking about sex. But...what about individuals who don't feel that way - what do they do? What are they called? How do things, such as "purity culture," impact them?...

The Christian Sorority Movement has offered many women looking for spiritual fellowship and association with other women a forum for sisterhood and developing Christian bonds...but what happens when this doesn't happen? Where is one left when dealing with exclusionary behavior, a divided organization, backbiting, gossip, false accusations, leadership theft, and more? Honest, candid, reflective, an...

Christians love to extol the patience of God, but what about the call for believers (especially leaders) to mirror that patience? Looking at the Apostle Paul, there is much to learn about the call to patience, and why it is so important. Recorded live during the COVID-19 quarantine lockdown in the United States (full lockdown in North Carolina) and partial quarantine in Australia (Adelaide), join...

Popularity: Everyone seems to want it, even when it takes us to places where we pursue wrong things. How has this trend of doing what everyone else is doing hurt our work in the church? What should we be doing? Join Apostle Dr. Lee Ann Marino and guest Pastor Jackie Lowe for an honest and candid look into the Christian call to do what's right rather than what is popular - and why it is important n...

In an age that loves the idea of speaking things into reality, what role does "Logos" - divine revelation - play in the spiritual life of the believer? How do we see Logos as relevant to our faith, because it is a powerful revelation and insight into Christ and Christ's presence within the church? What role does Logos play in our spiritual gifts? Join Apostle Dr. Lee Ann B. Marino and guest  Minis...

We love the idea of thinking God will spare us from our messes and let us out of any situation we incur, but is this Biblical? What role does obedience play in our faith, and what does obedience to God look like? What ultimate choices do we have to make when we are faced with our relationship with God? Join Apostle Dr. Lee Ann B. Marino and guest Minister Angie Littlefair for a discussion on disob...

In the heat of what feels like an endless, four-year-plus debate, the question arises: what role does faith play in politics? While some assume one party is "closer" to divine ideals than another, what is the truth about modern-day government and God? Most relevantly, what does it mean - and should mean - to you? Join Apostle Dr. Lee Ann B. Marino for this in-studio teaching inspired by a discussi...

Who are you keeping out of Christianity through your church or ministry? There are many, many professing Christians who are quick to exclude certain groups of people from their belief system, simply because they are different. But isn't understanding differences part of the challenge of the Gospel? Join Apostle Dr. Lee Ann B. Marino for this in-studio teaching about why the church exists to welcom...

We love to talk about new seasons, new experiences, and new periods, but what defines them? In this timely live message preached by Apostle Dr. Lee Ann Marino at Jesus People Arts and Worship Center in Asheville, North Carolina (Pastor Tom Cash) come to insights about what God has to say to you about change - about the dangers in following every trend, news story, idea, and fad that comes along (y...

Ministry, often considered a great blessing, can also be a difficult place to navigate. This is especially true when a minister has no idea who they are, what they are supposed to do, or a clear sense of who God has called them to be. In a church full of social pressures, confusion, and expectations, it is that much more relevant Christian leaders learn who God desires them to be - and why. Join A...

The first part of Apostle Dr. Lee Ann B. Marino's testimony discussed how Lee Ann Marino, not expecting much out of the ordinary, grew from her early love of spiritual things into a minister, then called into the apostolic ministry. In this second part, learn the rest of the story, as she is interviewed by spiritual daughter Minister Angie Littlefair about her own testimony. Come along for the "re...

Quarantine. Social distancing. Home stay orders (or as our host says, "house arrest"). People fear human contact as statistics show more individuals falling ill or dying from COVID-19. Churches are closed. Looking out over the landscape as we see it, how do we stand upon faith - or perhaps develop a deeper one? Looking at different spiritual perspectives and insights, how can our faith grow when w...

We all silently judge Jonah from running from God...but all of us have an inner Jonah that avoids the things God has called us to do this side of heaven. What do we do when we don't want to do what God asks of us? We "run on empty!" Candid, genuine, and raw as always, join Apostle Dr. Lee Ann B. Marino, host of the Kingdom Now podcast, as she is interviewed by spiritual daughter Minister Angie Lit...

If you spend any time on social media, you have, most likely, seen a post or a video about an abstract group known as the Illuminati. Most videos and posts tie it back to the Freemasons, a group dubbed as a "secret society," complete with degrees, rituals, and lots and lots of mythology that most don't readily share with others. What of these different things is true, and what amounts to urban leg...

Today we hear about things, such as human trafficking, and wonder what divine insight can be offered in such situations. Though we often trip over some of the Bible's women, there is much to learn about these modern-day issues from a Biblical character most understood, but most important. Join Apostle Dr. Lee Ann Marino and guest Minister Angie Littlefair of Beer Lahai Roi Ministries as they look...

Fatherless.  Motherless. Child of divorce. Widow. Straight. Gay. Lonely.  What do all these (and many other) terms have in common? They all stand  as labels,  as ways people categorize other people in society. What  impact do these labels have on our identity as believers - and how does  knowing God change our perception of our "labels?" Looking at Psalm 68  and Ephesians 2, what hope does God giv...

As a leader who wanted to do things right, Apostle Dr. Lee Ann Marino spent a lot of years focused on exterior postures and making sure things looked right, to meet with exterior expectations. Learn in this special, in-studio episode, how God started to deal with her about these matters, and just where He has taken her in this unlikely journey. Listen in to learn just what "church runaround" is -...

Enemies. What do we do with them, why do we have them, and why don't they just go away? In an unlikely revelation, examining a passage of Scripture that no one would ever consider is about an enemy, join Apostle Dr. Lee Ann Marino and guest Julie Harvey as they tackle the world of those pesky thorns in the flesh, better known as enemies - and what God has to teach us through them. (Intro and concl...
