The Receive Experience

This conversation I have with Misty Marascalco is one that surprised even me, because about an hour in, she saw something in the spirit she'd never seen before... all of us sitting at her table with Jesus. We get into how she went from a conservative upbringing where prayer was mostly "dump and run" to seeing visions, hearing Him speak identity over her, and now walking others through the same journey.Misty is the author of a book about her own path into hearing God through vision and imagination, and now leads inner healing and deliverance prayer with people all over the country.You can find her book here - https://www.just1grain.com/Here's what we explore:▪️How a movie about the crucifixion cracked open something a lifetime in church hadn't touched▪️Her first vision during worship, and the words that came with it: "you are a gate breaker"▪️The table encounter where Jesus began undoing a lifetime of lies about who she was▪️Why the same imagination the enemy can hijack is also the very place Jesus loves to meet you▪️How Scripture itself, Abraham, the Psalms, Jesus' parables, Nicodemus, is full of invitations to imagine▪️A live activation you can experience right along with us, picturing Jesus meeting you at a tableIf any of this stirs something in you, I'd love for you to sit with it.

This conversation I have with Roy Moran is about something I hear from so many people I work with... the silence. What do you do when you sit down to pray and just get nothing back? Roy walked me through his own journey with that exact question, and how solitude became a discipline he couldn't live without.Roy Moran spent 25 years pioneering the Hybrid Church model at Shoal Creek before joining New Generations, where he now works with disciple-making movements around the world. He's the author of Spent Matches. You can learn more about his work at Mercy Alliance.We get into why Roy stopped filling his prayer time with talking and started learning to just be quiet, what to do when your mind won't settle even after you've gone silent, and how that discipline ended up changing the way he experiences God's love, not just in his head, but in his body.Chapters:00:00 Intro: How Roy Got Started in Disciple-Making03:20 Why "Jesus Commands Us to Make Disciples" Is False05:33 Gravitational vs Catalytic Leadership09:15 How Roy's Journey of Listening to God Began11:34 Learning to Sit in Silence With God24:19 Trading a Spirit of Success for Perseverance29:51 The Fear Behind Our Demand for Answers34:34 The Prodigal Son Picture That Changed Everything43:41 Moving From Striving to ReceivingIf the silence has felt more like absence than connection, I don't think you're missing something.

This is a conversation I have with Anne de Leyser. Anne leads Local House of Prayer, the movement that grew out of Ffald y Brenin and The Grace Outpouring, and we get into what over ten years of listening to God's whispers has taught her about ordinary people carrying real authority right where they already live.
We talk about praying "teach me how to pray" instead of assuming you already know, why the way you hear God looks different from anyone else's and that's not something to fix, kids who heard God before anyone taught them to, the difference between asking God to bless someone and speaking that blessing over them, and what she's learned about chronos time, kairos time, and not giving up right before the breakthrough.

Michele has been part of our community for eight months, and in that time she went from believing she was fundamentally broken to telling me she hasn't felt that way since. In this conversation she walks me through the marriage she entered without ever praying about it, the year that took her mom and nearly her faith, and what it's actually looked like to hear God's voice in the small, practical stuff of her life. Toward the end we pray together, and something opens up in her about why it's felt safer to keep love out than risk it leaving again.Michele is a member of our Receive Academy community who's spent the last eight months learning to recognize God's voice in her everyday life, from prayer to parenting to driving in traffic.Here's what we explore:▪️ How a belief that she was fundamentally broken kept her from expecting God would actually come through for her, and what shifted once that healed▪️ The morning she finally saw Jesus' eyes after eight months of sensing Him near without seeing them▪️ What happened when she started asking God how much to earn before her DoorDashing shifts▪️ Realizing she had pictured God acting like her mother instead of trusting Him as Father▪️ A live prayer where we get underneath a fist wrapped around her heart, holding pain because letting love in once meant watching it leaveChapters00:00 Intro01:05 Becoming a Single Mom at Nineteen and the Miracles That Followed04:05 Marrying Without Ever Praying About It06:56 Growing Up in a Split Faith Family and Hearing Her First Name From God08:54 A Year That Took Her Mom, Her Son's Faith, and Nearly Her Own11:19 Six Weeks of Hearing Not Yet Before Joining the Community13:16 Seeing His Eyes and Feeling Time Stretch16:23 Healing the Belief That She Was Broken20:36 Asking God How Much to Earn and Realizing She'd Pictured Him Like Her Mother27:24 A Live Prayer for the Fist Around Her HeartIf something in this stirred something in you, I'd love for you to sit with it.

This conversation I have with Denita Bremer started with a simple question, what happens in your body when the inner critic tells you you're not enough. We followed it into my own story with my parents, into the ways I learned to hide, and into something surprising Denita heard from Jesus in a meditation right before we got on this call.Denita Bremer is a life and trauma coach who works especially with Latter-day Saint women, blending trauma-informed, somatic, and Christ-centered coaching.Here's what we explore:▪️Why going to the body, not just the logic, is often the doorway into what the inner critic is really protecting▪️How the way we related to our parents growing up shapes the way we relate to God▪️Why anger can be a sign of something God made you to care about, not something to manage away▪️How the criticism you've heard your whole life might be pointing straight at your gift00:00 Going to the Body When the Critic Says You're Not Enough03:09 What "Not Enough" Feels Like in the Body07:00 Learning to Hide What You Really Wanted11:22 Why the Gift Is Often Hidden in the Criticism14:13 Learning You Don't Have to Belong to What Hurt You17:36 Anger as a Sign of What God Made You to Care About22:46 The Gift Hidden in "You Talk Too Much"25:01 A Meditation, a Question to Jesus, and an Unexpected AnswerIf something here stirred something in you, I'd love for you to sit with it.
