The Best Kept Secret With Liv Dooley

It's impossible to host a series on integrity without considering how our conversation influences our ability to impact others for the Kingdom, and that is why I am so very grateful for Pastor Mark Batterson's time today. Pastor Mark has recently authored a new book, Please, Sorry, Thanks: Three Words that Change Everything, and I am so grateful he accepted my invitation to join us. Today,...

It is so easy to overlook the opportunities the Lord has positioned us to navigate here when we obsess over future opportunities that we believe the Lord is leading us to. However, it truly does dishonor those whom the Lord has led us to lead with integrity. So, how do we navigate it faithfully? We show gratitude. The next generation is watching, and God is using your life to win their hearts. Tha...

As we prepare to bring our series on integrity to a close, we want to make sure that we are aware of some of the barriers that interfere with our ability to live with integrity. It's not always fear. Sometimes, it's exhaustion, discouragement, or admiration for cultural norms which often contradict Biblical ones.  Thankfully, Tarah-Lynn Saint Elien is here to help us remember how important...

Our conversation about worship and integrity with Jenny Erlingsson is so full today. You'll immediately recognize why I've been sitting on the edge of my seat, waiting to release it. Today, we are starting our conversation with a tiny talk about common grace that former guests have discussed. In A Just Mission, Mekdes writes: "Our understanding of how God works is limited by our humani...

Ya'll already know I love a good God-given goal and a beautiful dream. However, that dream should never take precedence over the pursuit of God's presence, and Hannah Schermerhorn is here to help us stop waiting and start thriving with her new book A Single Life to Live. As someone who is still waiting on the Lord to answer a few of my own prayers, I feel so grateful for the friends who sh...

Last week, we discussed the joy of the Lord and how it led Him to despise the shame that the cross brought. However, we would be remiss to stop there, and that's why Brenna Blain is here with us today. It's because of the Lord's joy that we have the motivation to grow more intimate with Him in every way. Hebrews 12 doesn't just stop at the conversation about joy. The chapter contin...

This week, Tonya has a few practical steps to help us grow in integrity and Liv has a little encouragement about what the Lord has taught her through the years. TODAY, WE'RE REFLECTING ON HEBREWS 12:2 NIV Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before Him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. UNLIKEL...

It's time to get serious about your calling and commit to the hard work of healing so you can lead with integrity. Thankfully, Jo Saxton, is here to help us with that as we talk about leading beyond brokenness, regret, and jealousy so that we may obtain the integrity and character necessary to influence others well. May I invite you to consider that the story we read about the Daughters of Zel...

It's time to view your purpose with an eternal perspective. Let's talk about it with Rebecca George God Loves to Partner with Women I once met someone who shared she didn't like reading the Old Testament, and I get it. There are parts of the Old Testament that show just how far and disobedient Israel had grown from God. Nowhere is that more evident than through the ways that women are...

It's time to guard your God-given purpose with intensity. Let's talk about it with Nicole O. Salmon I've always asked the Lord to do big, impressive stuff in my life. And to be honest, when He doesn't answer the way I want Him to, I begin to feel defeated. I have a feeling I'm not the only one. So, if we're going to grow in integrity, one thing we're going to have to ad...

Oh, sis. Today, Liv is exposing some of those excuses that she's made to escape accountability and the burden it has placed on her family in the past. This week, we are talking about the Shunammite Woman and enjoying a little encouragement from Tonya about inviting the Lord to search our hearts. TODAY, WE'RE REFLECTING ON PROVERBS 11:3 NIV The integrity of the upright guides them, but the...

Jesus is ever present, and one of the most inviting portions of scripture to turn to is the Book of Psalms. It's through this book that we recognize the gifts He has to offer us in fresh ways that speak to our ability to be transparent with Him in every way. And Barb Roose is drawing our attention to it this season of Lent. For those of you who didn't grow up practicing Lent or still refra...

It's time to exchange our pain for God's perfect love, and we're talking about it with Kia Stephens . You know, we usually begin to doubt God's character when we run into conflict, temptation, and pressure, but thankfully we're not alone. The giants in the faith that we look up to today often encountered revelations of who God is through their deepest pain and greatest fears. T...

God is faithful in every way, and today we're here to talk about it with Simi John. Asbury Revival God is doing something miraculous within our world, and it is a beautiful thing to see. On February 8, students went to Chapel at Asbury University, as usual, but this time they didn't leave once the worship concluded after the benediction. Witnesses testify about a sweet Presence that was so...

We all know that people have begun to doubt the authorship and the content of the Bible in recent times more than before. But, I have to tell y'all, when I open up the Word and even engage with the popular questions and doubts in our generation today, I am more amazed by how good God is through it than I was at first. When we invite the Holy Spirit to speak to us and show us new things within...

This season, we are studying integrity, which means to experience wholeness and be completely integrated in every way. Research from  TGC  shows that although Generation Z is the least likely to go to church, we have hope. A study from  Barna  showed that teenagers had a lot of questions about Jesus, and even though they’re not interested in being evangelized, they are open to direct one on one co...

This season we're talking about integrity, and, no, it's not glamorous, but it is going to be good. And necessary. Listen in as Tonya Green, my cohost for season 5, and I discuss some of the challenges we've struggled with in the past as we invite the Lord to search our hearts and help us develop integrity in new ways every day. We're also here to introduce you to a brand new segme...

Spiritual warfare is not new, but it is nuanced, and we are definitely encountering issues that impede our ability to worship the Lord in spirit and in truth. Today, it is my prayer that you feel a renewed desire to grow more intimate with Him as we listen in. Today, we're reflecting on John 1:1-13 CSB Kanita and I Talked About: Generational Obedience The Fullest Interpretation of the Bible Sp...

Let's talk about how we can learn from others who may not be like us at first glance, how we can grow in intimacy with one another, and how we can develop greater character through the challenges we encounter and the questions we ask. Grace P. Cho and Dr. Lucretia Carter Berry are with us to talk about their newest book, Come Sit With Me: How to Delight in Differences, Love Through Disagreemen...

I was never taught to reflect on the health of my friendships, and you probably weren't either. It just wasn't a thing in the 80's or even the 90's...However, it is absolutely necessary now. It's undeniable. Friendship is complicated. But, it's also beautiful, lovely, and holy. Betrayal will come, but the beauty you'll find in friendship far outweighs the pain. Let'...

My heart hurts when I hear someone read a descriptive passage of scripture as if it's prescriptive. Descriptive passages describe what happened in Biblical times. Prescriptive passages inform and instruct us about how to conduct ourselves. Just because church hurt and abuse existed during Biblical times does not mean that God approves of it, and today, we're here to learn how to help other...

Our guest,  Rachel Marie Kang , is here to comfort our hearts and help us see the opportunity we have to worship the Lord in new ways today, and I hope you lean in. Whether you are creating something for others to find encouragement through or you are taking the time to enjoy keeping it private, you'll be surprised by how many ways you can honor the Lord by learning to see the goodness that He...

Spiritual warfare is the opposition we experience from the enemy that attempts to keep us from understanding the intimacy and authority believers have in Christ Jesus.  When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we officially become threats to the enemy. However, the intimacy you enjoy with Lord will give you an awareness of the strategies you have to fight the devil, and when you do, Family, yo...

Our guest, Rachelle Starr , is guaranteed to make us pray and move more boldly on faith and obedience because she is unapologetic about her love for Christ. We often begin to think that those who minister in strip clubs must have some history with it, but that's what makes Rachelle's story even more powerful. She truly embodies 1 Corinthians 9:19-23 . As we prepare to get into this convers...

There's been a theme running through the podcasts this month as we continue to look at what it takes to engage with others when it's so much easier to retreat, and that theme is humility. Y'all, we can continue to retreat from hard conversations and allow the enemy of our souls to continue to divide us OR we can make up our minds to humble ourselves. Let's choose the latter. It&#39...
