Storming the Gates: A podcast about Prayer

Send us Fan Mail In an interview with Pastor General Brown and his wife, Tanya, we expose the tricks and tactics of Satan's army considering our youth. The enemy is attempting to seduce young people (and all ages) through imagery and popular culture. Be prepared by being aware!  We also talk about the important steps to take if we, or someone we love, are in a battle against addictions and ha...

Send us Fan Mail In the last episode of STG I shared a story that exemplified how I came to understand forgiveness. That was a difficult story to tell in some ways, but the story I will share with you today is far more difficult for me to share. I actually hate that it is even a part of my story.   Yet, It is an important precautionary tale, but better yet, a tale of redemption. It exemplifies the...

Send us Fan Mail Are you struggling to forgive? In this episode, I interview a wife,  homeschooling mom, and ministry leader, Belle Bimel.

Send us Fan Mail If you are a human being, living on planet earth, you can guarantee that at some point there will be a battle in your soul concerning the need to forgive someone. I bet it will be more than once! Yet, even knowing this, we still are often broadsided by the offenses that come hurling at us unexpectedly. If you are a human, and if you live on Planet earth, than this podcast is for y...

Send us Fan Mail In todays inflationary economy, we may  wonder how we will survive the next few  years, or even days!

Send us Fan Mail Do you ever wonder if God will provide for your needs? He has taken care of others. People talk about miracles. But what about YOU? Maybe you have a large bill due, or face uncertainty. In those times it is challenging to quiet our troubled minds and rest. How can we find peace amid trying times? Today's episode is about the pictures and promises the Bible gives us to reassur...

Send us Fan Mail      The thought that we “should” pray, that we “need” to pray, is often the very thing that keeps us from spending time with God! It can make prayer a “burden”, versus a blessed time of communion with our heavenly Dad.      How can we get over this sense of having to check the mental box “I prayed today”?      In today's episode, I will be having a conversation with faith co...

Send us Fan Mail On earth as it is in heaven? Oh, if only!  How can we experience, know, and bring heaven's glory into this desolate, sin-crusted world?

Stick around to the end of the broadcast where I added a special word from the Lord for 2023. Check out Emily Grace, m...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of "Storming the Gates," we will be looking at those times when the winds shift and the seasons change. We may not like, and even fight against, the inevitable changes. We will look at Habakkuk, who saw God's plan and was horrified! Yet he eventually concludes that God is good and worthy of our praise.

Send us Fan Mail Have you, like me, been thinking the phrase “Thy Kingdom Come” from the Lords Prayer, means that we are asking God to bring about a conclusion of this present age of earth? Is it a call for Jesus to return, and usher His people into His kingdom for the marriage supper of the lamb?  Well, sure. But it’s that and so, so much more! Understanding more of what this phrase means has tra...

Send us Fan Mail Unanswered prayers can take your breath away, shake your world and challenge your faith.  How do we move forward after a season of committed and believing prayer when the answer was… not what we were asking?  There are many mysteries about God's ways we will never understand on earth, yet we can also trace answers in the unanswered.  That’s what we will be talking about on to...

Send us Fan Mail  Before there was a Lord's Prayer, there was a disciples prayer.     It was a simple, yet important request: “Lord, teach us to pray.” Jesus quickly obliged this request with an equally simple, and also important response. That response is called the Lord's Prayer. Although I talk about prayer on my podcast “Storming the Gates,” recently I had to ask myself: Do I know ho...

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever been relaxing with a book, perhaps along the ocean, enjoying the gentle lapping of waves along the shore? Then, without warning, a larger, stronger, wave, seizes the shore, knocking you off your feet and carrying flip-flops and toys back into the sea?  That's how I felt about my summer this year. I planned for a simple, gentle-wave sort of summer. As a school bu...

Send us Fan Mail In the last episode we looked at how God helps US find things. He lends a hand with all the little items, such as keys and phones. He also teaches us to rest and trust Him in order to find whatever we may be hunting for, no matter how big or small. He uses those times of searching to teach us how to pray, how to trust Him, and How to rest in him despite life’s irritations. In the...
