Teach & Talk with Lisa Schwarz

What if you invited Jesus into your house, but never learned how to sit at His feet? In this episode, Lisa shares a powerful invitation from the heart of God: come away with Me. Through Song of Songs, Mark 6, Luke 10, and the story of Mary and Martha, Lisa unpacks the difference between being near the presence of God and truly seeking His heart. This message is for anyone who feels busy, distracte...

The presence of God was never meant to stay behind the walls of the temple. From the Ark of the Covenant in the Old Testament to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the New Testament, Scripture tells one remarkable story. God has always desired to dwell with His people… and now, through Christ, His presence dwells within us. In this powerful teaching, Lisa unpacks the biblical thread of God’s glo...

What if the greatest threat to your faith isn’t opposition? What if it’s satisfaction? In this message, Lisa explores the holy desperation that marked the lives of those who encountered God. From the beloved searching through the streets in Song of Songs to Zacchaeus climbing a tree just to catch a glimpse of Jesus, Scripture reveals a pattern: those who find Him are often the ones who refuse to s...

In this episode, Lisa calls believers back to the supernatural commission of Christ. From Luke 9 to Mark 16, she unpacks the shift from disciple to apostle… from learner to sent one… from receiving identity to walking in assignment. This is not just about talking about Jesus. It is about carrying evidence that He is alive. Lisa shares on: • the power and authority given to every believer • why the...

Some things are not just broken. They look dead, dead. In Part 2 of this message, Lisa continues in Ezekiel 37 and calls believers back to the authority of the Word, the breath of God, and the partnership of the Holy Spirit. God did not just tell Ezekiel to look at the bones. He told him to speak. This episode is a charge to stop prophesying death over your life, your family, your calling, and you...

What if the thing you’ve called too dead is exactly where God wants to breathe? In Part 1 of this message, Lisa teaches from Ezekiel 37 and the valley of dry bones, where hopelessness meets the hand of God. Before Ezekiel ever prophesied to the bones, he first surrendered to the Spirit and allowed God to carry him into a place he could not explain. This episode is an invitation to step beyond comf...

What do you do when God speaks a promise, but the battle gets harder? In this bold message, Lisa teaches from 2 Kings 13 and the story of Elisha, the king, and the arrows. This is a call to stop striking the ground halfway and start contending until the enemy is utterly destroyed. This episode is for the believer who has grown weary, questioned the word, or felt tempted to stop building because th...

There is a difference between carrying water within you… and becoming a river that pours out. In this message, Lisa unpacks the tension between surrender and control, promise and sacrifice, identity and assignment. Through John 7 and the invitation of Jesus to the thirsty, this episode calls believers beyond passive Christianity and into a life overflowing with the Spirit of God. This is not about...

What if spiritual warfare is less about chasing demons… and more about agreeing with God? In this powerful teaching, Lisa reframes the battle many believers are fighting and exposes how the enemy works through perspective, accusation, shame, and distorted identity. This is not a message about fear. It is a call to stand firmly in who Christ says you are. Because the battle changes when your perspe...

What happens when you know Scripture… but still feel stuck? In this powerful teaching, Lisa confronts the gap between information and transformation… and calls believers beyond chasing moments into truly knowing the heart of God. This is an invitation into deeper maturity, where the character of God becomes the foundation for everything else. In this episode, Lisa unpacks: • the difference between...

What do you do when the fight doesn’t let up… and the promise still hasn’t shown up? In Part 2, Lisa moves from endurance into activation… exposing where many believers lose ground and why perseverance requires more than just holding on. This is a call to engage… not retreat. Because silence isn’t neutral… It’s surrender. In this episode, Lisa unpacks: • why prophetic words are meant to be used… n...

What if the resistance you’re facing isn’t a signal to stop… but confirmation you’re stepping into promise? In Part 1 of this message, Lisa shares from the front lines of real ministry… where faith is tested, loss is real, and the decision to keep going becomes defining. From the early days of Crazy 8 Ministries to present vision and opposition, this is an invitation into perseverance th...

What if the thing you’ve been missing isn’t more knowledge—but a real encounter? In this episode, Lisa pulls back the curtain on why so many believers feel stuck between what they know about God and what they actually experience. Drawing from her own journey and the pattern we see in the life of Jesus, she exposes the gap between information and transformation—and why the Holy Spirit was never mea...

Jesus did not send His disciples out with a blueprint for control. He sent them with authority. Authority to confront darkness. Authority to release healing. Authority to carry the reality of heaven into ordinary places. In this episode, Lisa explores: • the difference between power and authority • why heaven’s realm is not distant, but accessible • how over-preparing can become a form of resistin...

What if the limitation in your life isn’t lack of calling… but a line you haven’t crossed? In this message, Lisa draws from 2 Timothy 2 to remind us: you were never designed to live as a common vessel. You’ve been set apart—refined, filled, and prepared for something far greater than ordinary faith. But stepping into that life requires a decision: to leave behind yesterday’s patterns, cross the bo...

Jesus makes a stunning promise in John 15: “If you live in union with me… ask whatever you desire.” But that promise is rooted in one word:  abide. In this message, Lisa continues unpacking what it means to live in “life union” with Christ—not visiting God occasionally, but making Him your true dwelling place. This episode explores: • Why connection to the Vine is the source of real spiritual...

In this teaching from John 15, Lisa explores Jesus’ declaration:  “I am the true vine.” What if the very seasons we resist—pruning, pressure, and refinement—are actually evidence that God trusts us with more fruit? Jesus reveals a powerful Kingdom truth: fruitfulness doesn’t come from striving. It comes from staying connected to the source. In this episode, Lisa unpacks: • Why pruning is ofte...

What if the move of God isn’t something that fills a room but something that flows from a person? In this message, Lisa returns to Jesus’ invitation in John 7:  “Anyone who is thirsty, come to me and drink.”  The promise was never just about being filled... it was about becoming a river. In this episode you’ll discover: Why God is more interested in filling you than filling a r...

God isn’t looking for a moment. He’s looking for a people. In Part 2, Lisa moves from surrender to activation—because the kingdom was never meant to be talk without power. She exposes “tool-driven” religion, calls believers back to altar identity, and invites you into the kind of yes that becomes a resting place for the Spirit… and a release point for gifts that actually change lives. Stay connect...

What if the Holy Spirit isn’t avoiding you—what if He’s waiting for stillness? In Part 1, Lisa unpacks the moment the Spirit  rested  on Jesus (not just  visited ), and why surrender—ceasing resistance—is often the doorway to a life where the Spirit remains. This is a call to quiet the inner noise, lay down the tools, and return to the altar with nothing to prove—only room to receiv...

Dormancy is not death. And waiting is not abandonment. In Part 2 of  The Wait, The Breath, and the Breakthrough , Lisa continues in Psalm 40, moving from breakthrough into surrender. What if growth is happening beneath what feels still? What if your obedience is what expands your capacity? In this episode, she explores: Why intimacy in the closet determines authority in public How your “yes”...

What if the waiting isn’t punishment… but preparation? What if the breath of God is closer than you think? In this rich and raw teaching from Psalm 40, Lisa invites listeners into the holy tension between anointing and appointing. With prophetic insight and honest reflection, she uncovers how God breathes purpose into desolate places—and why learning to  inhale  again is often the beginn...

Tongues, prophecy, healing, words of knowledge—it’s not hype, it’s the Holy Spirit through people. In Part 3 of this power-packed series, Lisa dives into the gifts of the Spirit and how they operate in real life. With practical insight and passionate teaching, she breaks down each gift, how to cultivate them, and why love is the plumb line. This isn’t just theology—it’s training for the wild, Spir...

Having the Holy Spirit in you changes your identity. Having Him on you changes the world around you. In Part 2 of this series, Lisa unpacks the “uponning”—the baptism of the Holy Spirit that empowers you for mission, not just personal encounters. With humor, conviction, and Scripture, she confronts passive Christianity and asks: What are you doing with what you’ve been given? This episode is a cal...

What if everything you were taught about the Holy Spirit was only partially true? In this bold opener to our 3-part series, Lisa shares how spiritual curiosity led her from doctrine to demonstration. Through personal stories, scriptural clarity, and unflinching honesty, she challenges us to embrace mystery, invite transformation, and rediscover the power of the Spirit. This episode lays the founda...
