Now ministering globally, they urge the Western church to resist compromise, reject fear of man, and return to bold, biblical faith before it's too late. Their message is clear: the time for comfortable Christianity is over. God is calling His people to embrace His Word and Spirit with passion, raising up a generation to carry the flame of revival.

Ever feel like God isn't listening to your prayers? You're not alone.

When we look to Scripture, we see that God moves in response to His people's prayers. But if that is true, it can feel confusing when we don't see Him moving in response to ours.

So, it begs the question: Is there a specific way to approach prayer that compels God to answer?

Join us this week on Conversations with John and Lisa Bevere to explore the power in prayers of petition and intercession.

Many of us know the pain of unanswered prayer. We cried out for something, and it didn't happen the way we hoped. As a result, we gave up praying and believed the lie that God isn't listening.

But what if all that was needed was changing our approach to prayer? Just like there are different approaches needed for different types of sports, there are different approaches for different types of prayers.

In this episode of Conversations with John and Lisa Bevere, we explore the various types of prayer and how the right approach can lead to powerful results.

Tune in to discover how to uncover the secret to effective prayer.

Offense is one of the most deceptive snares Satan uses to get believers out of the will of God. And the scary thing about offense is this: it often flies under the radar. Most Christians don't even know they are offended, and thus, are completely unaware of the havoc it's wreaking in their lives.

So how do you know if you are offended—and more importantly, what does the path to freedom look like? How do you go from being constantly weighed down by offense to traveling light?

Tune in to this week's episode of Conversations with John and Lisa Bevere to discover how you can overcome the deadly trap of offense!

A healthy marriage often begins with a healthy mindset. How do you break free from the trap of comparison and master the power of your thought life? In this episode of Conversations, we’re sharing biblical wisdom to help you think differently about marriage, your friendships, and beyond.

The Story of Marriage with John and Lisa Bevere: https://link.messengerx.com/MHXbqkUEt39WdLvR7

As we build momentum in 2024, we want to invite all of you to slow down and make sure your heart is in the right place. We all want to have a fruitful year, but how healthy are your roots? If your unseen life is a mess, it will almost certainly cause things to unravel over time. To build our lives on a firm foundation, it’s critical we examine ourselves and pay careful attention to the things God brings up in our lives.

On this week's episode of Conversations, John and Lisa provide some helpful questions you can ask yourself to assess the current health of your faith. Offering personal insights and practical steps you can take today, this episode will help you make sure you are building your life on an unshakable foundation.

If this is you, you're not alone. Join us on this episode of the Conversations podcast as John is joined by Chris Pace, author of “Level Up: How to Advance in Your Calling and Never Get Stuck.”

Exits and entrances are an integral part of the story God wants to tell through our lives. It can be easy to miss what God is doing in the present if we are still looking to the past. Learning how to recognize and respond to God's leadership in times of transition will help us take hold of His plans for us!

In this episode of Conversations, John and Lisa share powerful insights on how to end one season well so we can enter the next with expectancy! Join us for practical strategies to start the new year with momentum!

How can we begin to move forward into a place of healing and strength?

We don’t have to ignore the pain, but we do get a chance to defy it. Instead of carrying that rejection with us, Jesus invites us to shake it off (see Matthew 10:14 NIV). We can be honest about the pain you have experienced, and, at the same time, learn to let it go, lift our heads, and keep moving.

Tune in to this week’s episode of the Conversations podcast (a follow up to the last episode—so make sure to listen to that first if you missed it) as John and Lisa wrap up this important discussion and share practical, actionable takeaways.

Whether we experience it in our relationships, career, or beyond, the reality is we will all face rejection at many points in our lives.

The natural response to rejection usually involves feelings of anger, shame, and self-doubt. While these may be our initial reactions, we don't have to remain stuck in them. Rejection is painful, but rest assured: you can find the strength to rise above it!

In this episode, John and Lisa open up about their personal experiences with rejection and share powerful insights they learned as they persevered through these challenging times. You won’t want to miss this one!

Anxiety speaks fear, but Jesus speaks peace. In 1 Peter 5:7, we read, "cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you." The weights of the world are not ours to carry, yet many of us feel the strain of our situations. This might be because we struggle to hand them over. What does it look like to say "I trust you with this God"? How can we reach that place of complete surrender?

Join us for part 2 of a conversation on fighting off discouragement & despair on this week’s episode.

Many find themselves weary. It's easy to get worn down by the weights of life and find yourself living in a constant state of unrest. The enemy wants to use the destructive forces of despair and discouragement to get you to give up. We all face this temptation at times—but we don't have to give into it. Instead, we must learn to counter these tactics of the enemy, take heart, and live in true hope!

As Christians, we know that our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of evil.

In this episode of "Conversations with John and Lisa Bevere," we discuss how you can't attack these forces with physical weapons but rather spiritual weapons.

Join us as we delve into how Scripture teaches us to take up arms, resist, fight, and defeat our enemy.

Western culture has reduced the devil to a little red, mythical creature holding a pitchfork. But, as believers, it's crucial to understand that the devil and his companions are real—existing only to defile, divide, and conquer the image bearers of God.

Through this two-part series, we will explore the Scriptures and examine the enemy's tactics and devices so that you know how to fight when he attacks.

Join us on today's episode of Conversations with John and Lisa Bevere as we share practical insights on how to identify and shut down every one of the enemy's schemes. Tune in to this empowering, eye-opening discussion.

In a world increasingly built for disconnection, we must create space for intentional words with God.

Revival is here—and as God’s Spirit continues to move, it may cause division among believers.

Lasting legacy, wisdom, protection, peace, safety, and joy—these are just a few of over 40 promises given in Scripture for those who fear the Lord.

In this episode of Conversations, we discuss how embracing a healthy fear of God “flips the narrative” of our lives.

Diving into Scripture, and sharing practical examples from our own lives, we'll unpack how developing holy fear raises you to a higher level of living—one that’ll leave a generational impact.

Don’t miss out on this conversation jam-packed with life-changing wisdom!

So many think the fear of the Lord is just an Old Testament message that has little application to our lives today—but is this true? Scripture does say that perfect love casts out fear—but does that really mean that holy fear shouldn't be a part of our lives as New Testament believers?

In this episode, John shares how Jesus delighted in the fear of the Lord, and how, if we want to walk intimately with Him and fulfill what He’s called us to do, we must do the same.

How do you truly develop a healthy, holy fear of God in your life? Strap yourself in, tune into this powerful conversation with John and Lisa, and discover how you can cultivate this in your own life in today’s episode of Conversations!

In this week’s episode of Conversations, John and Lisa Bevere dive deep into the often missing ingredient for true intimacy with God: the fear of the Lord.

Fearing God is very different than being afraid of God. Instead, it’s the key to everything.

Join us as we discuss how this healthy, holy, and largely forgotten virtue is the uncommon path to a more fulfilled and fruitful life.

As parents, we all want our kids to grow up with a solid grasp on faith and an understanding of who they are created to be in Christ. But how do we truly impart this revelation from one generation to the next?

Today on the Conversations podcast, we’re unpacking this question with our oldest and youngest sons, Addison and Arden.

In this episode, we’re sitting down to discuss how one generation can truly instill faith and identity into the next. We’re sharing stories from our own experiences, and while we haven’t done this whole thing perfectly, we hope you’re able to take some lessons from the things we’ve done well (and not so well!), and build a legacy of faith for your family!

Today on Conversations, we dive into a most needed conversation—practicing solitude. Do you have a rhythm of being alone with God? Or do you find yourself gravitating toward disconnection and escapism?

There are many differences between merely isolating yourself and intentionally practicing solitude. Our hope for this podcast is that it leaves you inspired to cultivate a new rhythm of rest and connection in the secret place.

How do you obey even when the road is marked with difficulty and sacrifice?

Today, we discuss the right motivation for long-term obedience—and the blessings that come from it. May this episode help you tap into a more-surrendered and more fulfilling life!

How can we create an atmosphere that walks in both grace and truth with the ultimate goal of restoration while culture is setting a precedent of shunning and excommunicating those who make mistakes or hold certain opposing viewpoints? 

In this episode of Conversations with John and Lisa, we return to part two on navigating cancel culture. Whether you have questions about being canceled, are facing pressure from the mob of public opinion to cave, or need to process forgiveness, tune in to this conversation for the help you need!

If this is how you see God, it will hold you back in significant ways. You won’t want to be close to Him. You’ll struggle to spend time with Him. You’ll struggle to see yourself and others clearly.  You’ll struggle to live with the confidence that comes from knowing you are a beloved child.

None of this is in God’s true heart for you! Your Father doesn’t just have love for you, He is Love for you! You are made for something untamed, wild, and limitless that can only be found in Jesus! You no longer have to live constantly striving to feel loved. You, beloved, are already fiercely loved.

Today on the Conversations podcast, join us as we discuss the new Fiercely Loved 90-day devotional! It’s time to change the way you think God thinks about you.

It’s stunning to see how many people think canceling someone is the answer. We are living in a time when people fearlessly air their opinions online and receive the backlash of public silencing and shaming. Sometimes, this even extends into face-to-face conversations.

Cancel culture is an epidemic where people are losing their ability to talk things through. In this pivotal cultural moment, what is the church to do?

Today, we embark on part one of a two-part series discussing Cancel Culture and how we as Christians should respond to this growing movement.

May this conversation equip you to be an agent of healing in a culture of division.

We see clearly in Scripture that joy is a fruit of the Spirit, but how do we walk in joy when our circumstances are less than ideal? 

The truth is, when your attitude is based on the eternal things of God, you will be able to walk in joy no matter your circumstances. This is what we’re diving into this week on Conversations with John and Lisa. 

Listen in and learn how to operate with joy even when it doesn’t make sense.

We hope this episode empowers you to walk in joy no matter what is happening around you!

Gratitude changes everything.

You may be facing some unique challenges this holiday season. Maybe you find yourself needing a recalibration in the presence of God.

“God, break my heart for what breaks yours.”

As children of God, we want His heart. We want to be passionate about the things God is passionate about. But here’s a question — are we truly consumed with a passion for reaching the lost?

Time and time again throughout Scripture, we see that God makes the lost His number one priority. If the lost are God’s priority, it’s crucial that they are our priority.

So how does one cultivate a passion for the lost? That’s what we’re unpacking on this week’s episode of Conversations. Tune in and learn how to cultivate a passion for the lost people in your life.

If we are going to be people after God’s heart, we must be passionate about seeing the lost come back to God.

While seasons of character development aren’t always fun, they are directly connected to your future. How you allow God to refine you determines how successfully you walk into seasons of promise in your life.

But HOW?

This is what we’re unpacking on this week’s podcast! Listen in and find out how to truly become unoffendable!

—Does God speak to everyone?

—What does His voice sound like?

—What does it mean to live in the peace of God?

If you have been trying to follow God without regularly hearing His voice, you’re missing out on a profound aspect of knowing Him. God is a communicator and loves to commune with His children.

We hope you walk away from this conversation knowing that not only does God speak, but He wants to speak to you!

Recently, Lisa hosted a conversation with Pastor Maria Durso on her podcast The Godmother with Lisa Bevere. The conversation was powerful, redemptive, such an incredible testimony of God’s love… and when it was all said and done, it ended up being one of our all-time favorite interviews here at the Messenger Podcast Network… so for that reason, we want you—our friends over here in the Conversations with John and Lisa crew, to have a chance to hear that conversation.

Pastor Maria is a powerhouse mother, wife, grandmother, pastor, and minister. Her story is one of incredible redemption and triumph, a true testimony to the power of God’s love.

In this episode, Pastor Maria shares:

—her story of motherlessness, trauma, abuse, and how God intervened in the midst of her pain

—how she learned to receive God’s love

—how to pray powerful prayers over your kids

—the roles of younger women and older women in the church

Whatever your story may be, God wants to meet you in the midst of it. He is faithful to heal your wounds, redeem your pain, and rewrite your story in a way that empowers you to move forward in strength.

You can connect with Pastor Maria on Instagram at @mariadurso129 or on her website at mariadurso.com!

David and Jason discuss how God can use us best when we are broken and bold, and how He can weave these moments in our lives together for our good and for His glory.

As you listen to this episode, we hope you feel empowered to stand in love and truth, even when it feels the most difficult.

You can grab a copy of David and Jason’s latest book “Bold and Broken” on Amazon or at boldandbroken.com.

In the first part of this two-part conversation, Jason and David share the beginnings of their journey—from their father’s incredible conversion experience and work in the pro-life sphere, to their time as Minor League baseball players, to the beginnings of their careers in real estate, all the way up to the beginnings of talks about a potential reality show with HGTV.

David and Jason share how if “Your theology is not your biography, then your theology is worthless.” Their story illustrates time and time again the power of standing for truth and living it out in the everyday decisions of life.

As you listen to this conversation, we hope you feel challenged to stand for God’s truth in the midst of a culture that increasingly demands compliance.

You can grab a copy of David and Jason’s latest book “Bold and Broken” on Amazon or at boldandbroken.com and check back in two weeks for part two of this conversation!

As you tune in today, we hope you are inspired to work diligently at everything God has placed in front of you and watch as He is faithful to multiply what is in your hands!

One of the keys to moving through this season in strength, both for us and for our team at Messenger International, is fervent prayer. When a believer stands in faith and prays fervently, mountains move.

In today’s podcast, we dive deep into this topic. We talk about how to differentiate between moments where you simply feel mistreated by a leader and how to respond when you truly are being mistreated.

As you listen today, we hope you feel equipped and inspired to handle these situations in a way that ultimately brings honor to God!
