If you are looking for how to draw closer to God AND be more efficient in life, you will find the secret and some awesome strategies right here.  You will learn in these podcasts how important relationship is—relationship with God and with each other, for each one of us to be the difference needed in the world! 

Pastor Dawn Rene' and special guest Andrew Holmes dive into how their relationship with God and the word of God impacts every area of their lives, and how you can too.

God has said He would reestablish us this year, so obviously He wants us to be different or engage in life in a different way.  Pastor Dawn encourages us that this change will be easier than you think because our part is to say yes and connect with God, and then let Him do it!  Pastor Dawn releases hope as the key to help you change your priorities and look at life from an eternal perspective, and think BIGGER!  Just think about this: how much different could life be if you step out of your comfort zone and be the difference people need?

God is a GREAT BIG GOD and He wants you to know it—and know Him! Sometimes we get into thinking we have to work hard to please God, but we just need to remind ourselves we are in a new season! It is Jesus that changed everything of how we come to God, and now we have a system of grace. Instead of wishing God would change everything of life, you can pray this simple prayer with Pastor Dawn and open up your heart to how real and personal God wants to be with you.

It is so important to have the Word of God alive and active on the inside of you. Today, Pastor Dawn walks you through a simple exercise to activate God’s Word and bring it alive in your heart. You can take a Bible verse, even a familiar one, and let the emphasis in your heart and mind be placed on each word in turn. You’ll be amazed how God illuminates this verse to you…and it may just be the change God wants to bring into your life right now! For GOD so loved the world…For God so LOVED the world…For God so loved the WORLD…For God so loved the world He GAVE…generous God!  John 3:16-17

Have you ever been reading the Bible when you were suddenly gripped by a fresh new understanding of God? That is God speaking to you!  He’s all about relationships and He wants to be personal with you.  Pastor Dawn walks you through how to ask God to reveal Himself to you through the Bible so that it comes amazingly alive to you. You will find that it is just what you need from the Spirit of God.

When you begin a relationship, there is a lot of talking, a lot of wanting to share everything and a lot of wanting to be near them. Why? Because love grows out of open communication and spending time together. God desires to build a relationship with you. That’s why God sent His Spirit to you, and it’s His Holy Spirit that helps you understand all His Words to you—written Word and spoken Word! Your interaction with God will continue to grow and you will continue to Him more and more!

The fact is God created all of His people to hear His voice. God desires to fellowship with mankind freely as He did in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve before sin entered the world. We are blessed because Jesus is the complete expression of God’s love and desire to communicate, and He opened up the way for every man, woman, and child to beautifully communicate with God. Pastor Dawn shares her personal experience of discovering important keys of staying hungry for more of God and how to overcome doubt and any dullness in hearing God’s voice.

Most people have a hard time believing that God is alive, and that He still wants to talk to them. But God is a God of love, and love wants to communicate. Learning to distinguish which voice is God‘s voice is not hard, because God is looking for the one who wants to communicate with Him, spirit to spirit. Pastor Dawn shares some strategies to help you hear God’s voice and know it is really Him. It will help you fulfill your destiny and fall more in love with Him!
