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.

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.

Most Christians Fall into This Deadly Trap
18 juni 2024 · 39 min
Are you constantly rehearsing past hurts? Have you lost hope because of what someone did to you? Lees meer
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!

There is no denying the sting of rejection. These painful moments can bring up questions about ourselves, others, and maybe even God. Lees meer
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).

Why You Need to Cultivate Holy Fear
14 februari 2023 · 28 min
With only one week left til the launch of John's new book, The Awe of God, we wanted to dedicate this episode to sharing some of the heart behind this message. Lees meer
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!

We have something exciting in store for this season of Conversations with John & Lisa. We'll be back shortly with new, fresh podcast content! But to celebrate passing 200 episodes, we’d like to bring you the “Best of Conversations” to share some of our most popular episodes you may have missed! Lees meer
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!
We hope this episode equips you to embrace the adventure of life with God as you discover who He created you to be!

Fiercely Loved by Lisa Bevere
10 mei 2022 · 20 min
Far too many view God as an overbearing and critical father, sitting with His arms crossed in disapproval of us. Lees meer
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.
