“For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and in Christ you have been brought to fullness…” [Colossians 2:9-10] We start from fullness, we are not moving towards it. I’ll never not be ASTONISHED by this truth. In this episode, Graham Cooke and I discuss what it looks like to live in the truth that God has given us everything up front and is now teaching us how to use it. -...

"When God looks at you He doesn't see anything wrong with you, He only sees what's missing and He’s totally committed to giving you that missing piece." - Graham Cooke - Stay connected to Posture: Subscribe on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3brIa1L Follow on Facebook: https://facebook.com/posturepodcast Follow on Instagram: https://instagram.com/posture.podcast

God is love. And He never leaves us. This love is here to stay because He is here to stay. Receiving this radical love is the starting point of living an empowered life. - Mentioned in this episode: Episode 43 - “You Are Empowered By Presence” - Stay connected to Posture: Subscribe on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3brIa1L Follow on Facebook: https://facebook.com/posturepodcast Follow on Instagram: https...

There is only one you -- the you who is alive to God and dead to sin. Jesus did this. He didn’t just die for you, He died AS you. There is nothing we can do to finish His finished work. We’re not working to earn God’s love or approval because we already have it all through the work of Jesus. So if Jesus did all the work, what is our work supposed to be? - It’s not too late! Graham Cooke and I are...

There is nothing that God asks us to believe about ourselves that He doesn’t already believe. He has no doubts about you. He has no doubt about the finished work of Jesus. We may be struggling to believe we are one with God, but God is not struggling to be one with us. - TODAY Graham Cooke and I are kicking off a 3-Day Live Challenge on Facebook and we would love for you to join us! https://challe...

"For the Lord is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations." [Psalm 100:5] Did you catch that? Endures. Forever. Continues. Through all generations. God is permanently passionate about you. - THIS WEDNESDAY Graham Cooke and I are kicking off a 3-Day Live Challenge on Facebook and we would love for you to join us! https://challenge.grahamcooke.com/ - Stay...

At the root of every anxiety is an accusation -- “You are not completely loved by God.” For years, I struggled to completely believe that I was completely loved. I strived for more love from God by trying to be more and do more. When you believe you are completely loved, you live differently. You live powerfully, because you’re no longer in contention with the Truth. - Mentioned in this episode: E...

Jesus had a brilliant conversation with the Pharisees in John 8 that gives us all the permission we need to be our authentic selves. The problem is that many of us don’t know who we are. Often the brokenness we face seems more authentic to us than the wholeness God promised us. For years, I was quick to identify with my ever-changing issues, but slow to identify with what my never-changing God cal...

This episode is a bit raw, but after attempting to re-record it several times, I realized my tears represented the very truth of the message. Even in loss and grief, we have the victory banner Jesus gave us to wave in the enemy’s face. I’m waving that victory banner high today. I’ve had a strong prompting to remind you every day this week that you are a restorer. You and I have been empowered by J...

Opposition from other people used to be devastating for me. I wanted to get along with everyone! I wanted to be liked by everyone. I used to confuse people’s approval with God’s approval. That is a horrible way to live. You will never do anything significant if your goal in life is to get unanimous approval. - You can also watch episodes of Posture...

You need to hear this.... I need to hear this… We all need to hear this... Don’t allow the insanity of brokenness to steal your awareness of God’s empowering presence within you.

“Your people will rebuild long-deserted ruins, building anew on foundations laid long before you. You will be known as Repairers of the Cities and Restorers of Communities.” [Isaiah 58:12] There is a reason loss and injustice affect us so deeply. We are moved not just by our own pain, but often by the painful experiences of others. It’s because we have experienced a better word, a better way -- Th...

In times of stress, uncertainty, pain...I have said so many times, “I will be glad when this is over.” But why delay the very thing that strengthens you? - You can also watch episodes of Posture...

The fullness of joy takes up space in our hearts and minds. It expands our capacity as it expands within us. Your enemy knows this. Which is why our joy, much like our peace, is often under attack. satan can’t actually touch our joy because he can’t empty any fullness of Christ -- he can’t undo the work of Jesus. Instead, he tries to diminish the power of joy in our eyes, so that we don’t see it f...

I’m so captivated by the promise and possibility of FULL joy because often my joy has felt fragmented, like it’s pieced together by good things happening but so often disrupted by negativity. Something that used to disrupt my joy and my peace the most was relational conflict. If I wasn’t at peace with people, I felt like I couldn’t be at peace at all. In today’s episode I share a testimony of joy...

We have all the permission in the world right now to give in to panic and anxiety. But we also have the backing of heaven to live in the fullness of Christ — His joy, His peace, His hope. In today’s episode I share a testimony of experiencing the process and promise of Philippians 4. You are always living from Jesus’s fullness, not for it. You can’t earn, you can’t strive for it, you can only rece...

Joy and peace partner together in raising our expectation of God’s goodness in our lives and developing a deeper trust in Him. I used to feel guilty for experiencing and expressing joy in the midst of difficulty because somberness like the “responsible response” --  the response of someone who had control of the situation. But now I know that when I experience joy, even in the midst of hard c...

Influencer isn’t a dirty word :-) It’s more than a title, it’s the mandate of every believer. However, the vision God has for His Kingdom advancing through His people on earth is going to take more than a high follower count or robust platform, it's going to take the fullness of Christ -- which you have already been given. In this episode Graham and I talk about how you can be the difference maker...

God is always focused on bringing you into a fuller experience of Him. The fruit of the Spirit -- joy, gentleness, peace, kindness (just to name a few) -- reveal to us the nature of God. God is not telling you to be gentle. God is telling you, “I am gentle.” And as we experience His nature, we become transformed by it. - You can also watch episodes of Posture...

Years ago when I was in the middle of my battle with anxiety and panic, one of my spiritual mentors, Graham, said something to me that, at the time, totally irritated me. But now I know his declaration was actually irritating my unbelief. In this episode Graham and I talk about the testimony that planted a seed of possibility in me that led to my total victory over anxiety. Join the Three + Me 5 D...

While “challenge” typically carries a negative definition in the world, people of God’s Kingdom can consider challenges much differently.

Christ is in us. This truth is our starting point in every situation we will ever face. We are not striving to get through the struggle so then we can have Christ. We have Christ to get us through the struggle. The lie of isolation isolates us from the truth. This is why the self-empowerment movement is so popular -- too many of us are out there believing we have been left alone, therefore, we hav...

Today, as a marker of Posture’s 50th episode, I wanted to give you the gift of a crafted prayer. I spent some time this week with our divine prayer team tuning in to their hearts for you and hearing what they are praying over this Posture community.

I used to think that when God was silent it meant He wasn’t present or that I wasn’t spiritual enough to hear what He was saying. But now I know the silence is an invitation to step from all the noise, chaos, and confusion coming from whatever situation I’m needing to pray about and enter into my secret place with my divine prayer team -- Jesus and the Holy Spirit. I now anticipate the silence. It...
