The LIZ TEACH podcast

Hi Friends! In this very close and personal episode, I sit down with my grandson, Jay, for an honest conversation about faith, family and growing up. And he didn't hold anything back! He shares what it's like to have me constantly teaching him about the Lord and speaks openly about his parents and growing up without his dad being present. This a real, unscripted, from the heart coversation between...

Being a strong mother, isn't about controlling every outcome, carrying every burden or parenting through fear. Sometimes what we call strength is frustration, hurt, fear or the pressure to keep everything together. And without realizing it, we can be harsh, critical and controlling with the people we love the most -- our children! Join me in this episode, as I have a very honest conversation w...

Hi, Friends! Not every friendship is meant to last forever, but some friendships are divinely appointed by God to strengthen, encourage, challenge and help us grow. Sometimes we've been hurt so badly that we keep people at a distance. We convince ourselves that we don't need friends and we tend to walk away when the relationship becomes uncomfortable. But what if we are walking away from someone G...

Hi Friends, We all have areas where we're called to lead --at home, in the workplace, in church and in our communities. The truth is, we're all leading someone. But how we lead matters. We can lead from survival mode, out of stress, pressure and brokenness, or we can lead from a place of healing, wisdom and godly strength as we allow the Lord to guide us. Join me for an honest conversation...

Hi Friends! Welcome to the "Strong Girl, I See You" series! The next five episodes will be an honest conversation about women who keep showing up, holding it together, no matter what! They show up at home, at church, at jobs....pushing through pain, carrying burdens they were never meant to carry alone. But that's the problem, we carry it alone because we often go unseen! There is a...

Ever felt like your service was driven by guilt, comparison, or hidden motives? I’ve been there—serving out of obligation or trying to prove something instead of out of love. Real serving starts with examining our motives—are we driven by pride, need for recognition, or genuine love for others? Jesus didn’t come to be served but to serve. That’s the heart we’re called to mirror. When we serve from...

Hi Friends, No one likes to suffer...if you do, let me know. I got a good therapist for you. All jokes aside, suffering comes whether we like it or not. So what is at the other side of that suffering? What is the fruit of that time? Can we say like Joseph that "...God has made me fruitful in the land of my suffering"? Listen in and be blessed!

Hi Friends! What if the woman with the issue of blood from Mark 5 thought her healing wasn't worth pushing past the crowd to Jesus? It wouldn't have only affected her life, but ours as well. How many millions of people have received such breakthroughs because of HER story?! What "crowd" is keeping you from receiving YOUR story of healing with Jesus? Have you ever thought that you...

Prayer is essential for our Christian walk. So why aren’t all Christians praying? Why don’t they desire to pray? Let’s talk about it!

Hi Friends! Anxiety seems to be plaguing so many people. It's affecting their lives, the lives of people they love, their jobs, etc. Mental health issues are no longer stigmatized, but are we too comfortable making it our identity? Isn't it time to get to the core of our anxiety issue so we can live thriving lives, abundant lives instead of just surviving? Listen in as I share what has hel...

Hi Friends! The Bible says in 1 John 5:14-15: "And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him." So let's CONFIDENTLY pray for our children!

Hi Friends! So I've got a WORD!!! This might not be what you WANT to hear, but it's what you NEED to hear. I know I did. This is for anyone that has been praying for someone to be saved over and over and over again... It's time to let go! It's time to not be distracted by it anymore! Matt 7:6

Hi Friends, You may be asking yourself, what is a prodigal spirit? I know asked myself the same thing when the Lord first dropped that in my spirit a couple months ago. Many have heard the story of the Prodigal Son found in Luke 15 and many of us are praying for the prodigals we love to come home to the Father as well. But could it be that even though we have physically come back to the Father’s h...

Hi Friends! Knowing who you are matters!  We think we know who we are, but in reality could be living out a lie that we were told long ago.  And now that lie is being told to our children and children's children. The identity of our children, our teens is being assaulted on a daily basis.  They need us to get it together so we can help them. I pray as you listen in, that you will be...

Hi Friends, Today my podcast is about spiritual leadership.  I talk about areas that I've struggled with, learned from, been humbled in and repented.  If we want our ministries to be fruitful, we need to recognize when it's time to repent.  Sometimes our own lack of repentance is what is not allowing God's promises be fulfilled! Listen in and share.  Let's repent, heal and be f...
