A whirlwind of a weekend traveling to a destination wedding came with a stop in the emergency room. While in excruciating pain, Melissa begs God to heal her arm....God wanted to heal her heart for a bigger assignment. Being a child of God is not an easy task. It comes with warfare, persecution, and getting uncomfortable. But joy and hope in Jesus through hardship is unmatched! God has an assignment for His kids and in order to execute we don't need a good arm, we need a pure heart!

7 Warnings for Believers
March 4, 2024 • Pastor Josh Cunningham, Melissa Gaona
Christians are not immune to sin and still possess the ability to "drift away" according to the book of Hebrews. Think about bitterness that lives inside a Believer...if it goes un-surrendered it will have detrimental damage, not only inside the Christian, but carry wide-range effects on an entire church body. So, how does drifting happen to someone who is saved? The author of Hebrews had a heart for discipleship and ministry which is why it is filled with many warnings for Christians. In this episode, Melissa Gaona and Pastor Josh break down seven warnings for believers and dig into the scriptures for answers.
Fighting a battle you can't see
February 7, 2024 • Melissa Gaona, Kathy Harris
Whether you believe in Jesus or not, life comes with problems. The most important fight we will face is not physical or mental; it is spiritual. How are you fighting your battles? Often times, we fight the wrong way, with the wrong weapons, and in our own power. When we make the decision to follow Christ, we are graciously given spiritual gifts to fight every battle. While we can not predict the outcome, in the end, we still get the victory through Jesus. 1 Corinthians 10:3-5 "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ," Get your tickets to Warrior Women 2024 on March 23rd at https://http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/01005f549097295b
What's wrong with yoga? Part Two
January 21, 2024 • Melissa Gaona, Saralynn Hamilton
Despite the fact that yoga is a historical Hindu spiritual practice, many Christians take part for its physical benefits. So does this make it okay? Can you have one without the other? Melissa is joined by former yoga expert, Saralyn Hamilton, to share her powerful testimony "Christian Yoga to Christ Alone." Saralyn discusses the attraction to yoga, what the poses actually mean, and the moment God spoke and gave her a great conviction over it. **From Saralyn Hamilton: "The Lord opened my eyes to the truth about spiritual warfare. He taught me how to listen to His voice. He gifted me with spiritual healing. And He opened my eyes to the truth about yoga. Please know that this is my conviction and I never want to throw it on someone else. I ask that if this has you in question, go to the Lord and read the Scriptures." https://ignitionministries.org/
