Ep. 722 - Actress Leaves Broadway Stardom to Pursue a Life-Changing God Dare - Kate Battistelli

December 3, 2024 • Tina Griffin

Kate Battistelli was a burgeoning Broadway star playing opposite the great Yul Brynner in The King and I - thinking she was on a trajectory to win a coveted Tony award. God had other plans! Shortly after Kate and her husband gave their lives to the Lord when she was 29, they felt led to leave New York City and raise their daughter radically different from how they were living. This was the first of many “God dares” Kate has embraced in her life. Kate is an author, speaker, and podcast host who penned an incredible and challenging book, The God Dare: Will You Choose to Believe the Impossible? She also has a lot of wisdom to share about parenting. “Our ceiling becomes our children’s floor,” she says. Kate’s testimony and obedience shines a light on the importance of following God’s will rather than our own, no matter how wild it may seem.

TAKEAWAYS

Don’t live in shame and guilt - know that if you ask the Lord for forgiveness, He will forgive you

Don’t let your past failures or decisions define who you are

Our past mistakes can be used as an excuse to avoid doing what God is calling us to do, when our trauma is actually our testimony

November 28, 2024 • Tina Griffin

Lee Martin awoke after a three-week coma and an inexplicable brush with death with an uphill road to recovery and mission from God: warn the world about the upcoming rapture! Lee is a creative consultant with a long background working in health, fitness, acting, and producing - but her world came to a halt when she was suddenly rushed to the hospital battling organ failure.

She believes the disappearance of Christ-followers will be explained away by an alien abduction. Her shirt is an eye-opening, catchy, conversation starting creation. Lee explains where the idea came from, what she hopes it achieves, and why it’s so important for Christians to tell the world what’s on the horizon. TAKEAWAYS Doctors wanted to unplug Lee while she was in a coma, but by a healing miracle from Jesus, her organs started to work again The Holy Spirit gave Lee a design and the task of producing this Rapture T-shirt with a providential message Things are rapidly converging, and Bible prophecy is undeniably being fulfilled before this generation’s eyes - the Rapture is coming soon Lee believes that mainstream media pushing the narrative of “aliens amongst us” is part of the demonic set-up to explain away the rapture 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Hollywood Exposed Download: https://counterculturemom.com/store/ Rapture T-shirt: https://bit.ly/3osgnkb 🔗 CONNECT WITH SEALED IN CHRIST Website: https://sealedinchrist.com/tinagriffin 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Jacob’s Ladder: https://jacobsladder.us/give/ Restore Patch: https://bit.ly/ccmpatch RogersHood Apothecary (get 10% off with code TINA): https://www.rogershood.com/?coupon=tinahttp://www.rogershood.com/?coupon=tina Gabb: http://gabb.com/tina 🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/counterculturemom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://bit.ly/fpmccmshow 📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE http://bit.ly/landingpageccm 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2023 Recap & 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/ccm23impactreport Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner
