Light Bearers in Training

Lately, we’ve been talking about sacred chaos—what it looks like to walk with Jesus when life is full, noisy, and anything but tidy. We’ve talked about new growth in busy seasons, and we’ve talked about building a “trellis” of small rhythms to help that growth last. On today’s episode, I want to do something a little different. I want you to hear from someone who lives this out in real life—my hus...

Today I want to get very practical. If God has been growing something real in you, how do you give that growth a little support so it doesn’t just sprawl all over the ground and get trampled by hurry? Gardeners use something called a trellis —a simple structure that gives a living vine something to climb on. The trellis doesn’t create life, but it helps the life that’s already there grow in the ri...

f you’re anything like me, your calendar right now might look a little wild. End‑of‑school stuff, graduations, summer plans, sports, work, family—suddenly the quiet spaces you had in earlier months feel like they’ve been swallowed up. And in the middle of that, you might be wondering, “What happens to the new growth God started in me? Is it just going to get choked out by busyness? Am I ‘backslidi...

Welcome Light Bearers and Happy Anniversary! With this episode, the Light Bearers in Training Podcast is celebrating it’s one year anniversary. I’m very thankful, to you, our listeners for continuing to download and listen.  Season 2 of Light Bearers in Training will still include the tips, tools, and prayers you need to grow your relationship with God and continue to fight back against the Darkne...

Today’s episode is for the person who doesn’t necessarily feel guilty…but feels dry. Spiritually dry. Tired. Numb. Like the well has run low and the ground of your soul is cracked.  Spiritual dryness is that season when you still believe, you still love God, you still show up—but you feel like someone turned the volume down on your heart. ·      You open your Bible and the words feel flat. ·     ...

On today’s episode, we’re moving from the mind to the heart. This week’s focus is the Lord washing our hearts. We’re going to talk about what it really means to bring the mud of our sin, our compromises, and our secret regrets into the light and presence of God and ask Him to cleanse us. Not to shame us, but to restore us. Have you ever had that feeling where your heart just feels… muddy? You know...

We just walked through Lent and Resurrection Sunday, remembering Jesus’ love, His sacrifice, and the empty tomb. Now we’re stepping into a new month, a new season—and around here that means rain, puddles, and that old saying: “April showers bring May flowers.” When I was thinking about what to share with you this month, I kept picturing those gentle spring rains that rinse dust off cars, wash poll...

Hey fellow Light Bearers, Happy Resurrection Sunday! In Christian traditions the pastor often says, “He is Risen” to the congregation, they respond back with, “He is Risen Indeed.” Say that with me my friends, “He is Risen indeed.” We’ve walked through Lent together—through honest self‑examination, the wilderness, Passover, and the cross.  On today’s episode, we arrive at the empty tomb. This is t...

Last week we talked about Jesus as our Passover Lamb. At the cross where Jesus was sacrificed for us, we see both the seriousness of sin and the depth of God’s love. On today’s episode, as we move closer to Resurrection Sunday, we can’t rush past the cross. First we have to hit Friday, Good Friday, the day we mark in remembrance of Jesus dying on the cross. I want us to slow down and stand there f...

We’ve been walking through this Lent season together, preparing our hearts for Resurrection Sunday. Last week we talked about being loved in the wilderness.  On today’s episode, I want to take you back even further—to a night in Egypt, a lamb, and a doorway painted in blood. Because to really grasp what Jesus did for us at the cross, we need to understand Passover. Lent and Passover are different...

Jesus was led into the wilderness to be tested, God allowed this. It did not cancel God’s love, it deepened Jesus’ trust. What does this mean for us as Light Bearers in the Lenten season? On today’s episode, I want to look at Jesus and His time in the wilderness. If you’ve ever felt spiritually dry, tempted, lonely, or like you’re in a season that makes no sense, this one is for you. I want to pre...

Hey fellow Light Bearers, welcome back. I hope you enjoyed our month of talking about true love—God’s unconditional, sacrificial, unchanging love for us in Christ. As we turn the page on that series, we’re stepping into a new season on the calendar of the Church: the time leading up to Passover and Resurrection Sunday, or Easter as it’s called here in the United States. Easter has nothing to do wi...

For the past three weeks we’ve been in a series talking about God’s love—His unconditional, sacrificial, and unchanging love for us in Christ. We’ve seen that His love doesn’t start with our performance, it was proven at the cross, and it doesn’t rise and fall with our feelings or our circumstances. We can also share this love with others from His outpouring through us. On this week’s episode, we...

Over the past two weeks, we’ve talked about how deeply God loves us and how that love isn’t just something we receive but something we live from.  On this weeks episode we’re going to take the conversation one step further: God’s deep love for us doesn’t stop with us. It’s meant to fill us up and then  flow through us . His unconditional, sacrificial, unchanging love becomes the power for how we l...

Last week we talked about how God’s love is unconditional, sacrificial, and unchanging. As believers in Christ, knowing these attributes of God’s love should reshape how we see ourselves and our days here on earth. On this week’s episode, I want to talk about what happens when that love moves from our heads to our hearts—when we actually live as people who are loved.  It’s Valentine’s Day this wee...

On today’s episode, we’re going to be diving deep into one of the most powerful realities in the Christian life: God’s true love for believers in Christ.  This isn’t just love in a general sense of the word. God’s true love for us is a personal, transforming love that defines who we are as God’s children. God’s love isn’t something He feels only when we “get it right”, it’s part of His very nature...

We talked last week about the our identity in Christ. That comes out of how we view God and our relationship with God. We learned a prayer of daily affirmation that you can find at the Identity Exchange, I have the link in the show notes. Daily Prayer of Affirmation Were you able to use this daily prayer? Even if you have only gotten to part of it, it’s such a great way to connect when you feel sc...

We talked last year about the most important thing about us being, how we see God. How we view God is the most important thing. Second, is our relationship with God. Reading the Word, praying, listening for His voice in all the ways He communicates with us, is our relationship with God. On today’s episode we are going to talk about the third most important thing about us… our identity in Christ. W...

Last week we talked about having intentions instead of resolutions. Our church has moved away from doing our yearly fasting at the beginning of the year so that we can separate spiritual discipline from resolutions as well.  Were you surprised by any of your 2 Things answers? On today’s episode we are going to talk about an answer that surprised me. I shared last week that I was surprised by how m...

Happy New Year my friends. New year resolutions are all around us, but I disagree that a new year should equal a new you, no matter what messages you are seeing on social media or in your email because you are fearfully and wonderfully made. Jesus already made you new when you received Him as your Savior. While God is big into offering fresh starts, in fact, Lamentations 3:22 reminds us that His m...

I was listening to the song “Christmas This Year,” by Tobi Mac. It’s a fun upbeat Christmas song that my boys and I like. In the song, the lyrics say, “It’s all love. The season is a gift when love came down to let us live. Let’s open up and let our hearts embrace this moment. For Christmas this year.” On today’s episode, we’re going to talk about waiting and when Jesus came down to let us live. W...

Disclaimer: I will be talking about Santa’s existence in this podcast, just a heads up if you have little ears listening. Last week we talked about reconnecting with peace, our Savior’s peace. Were you able to feel some peace? When peace is interrupted for me and my boys, we tend to go to thankfulness or breath prayers.  On today’s episode, we are going to keep with our call to peace in this busy...

Everyone talks about how busy this time of year is, but I want to take a different approach. On today’s episode, I want to talk about peace. And not just any old peace, but peace that belonged to our Savior, the peace He shared it with us.  In John 14, Jesus is talking about the Holy Spirit being sent in His name after He is gone. Jesus says, the Holy Spirit will teach believers all things and bri...

On this week’s episode we’re going to talk about Thankfulness. It’s very timely as the American Thanksgiving is only 10 days away. Shopping lists are being made, an abundance of food is being purchased, and hopefully families are eager to get together. I’m grateful for the reminder that Thanksgiving brings each year. It’s a reminder to be grateful, to say what you're thankful for around the f...

On today’s episode, I’m going to read from new book The Deliverance so that you can hear what Sarah is up to now. The Deliverance Book was released on Nov 7th, 2025, you can grab your copy on my website mindyhite.com or on Amazon!
