Color Speak: Unveiling Truth for Light

COLOR SPEAK, Season 5, Episode 16, WORD POWER RELEASE AND HEALING with Healer Vicki Volby

Tue, 23 Jun 2026 12:00:00 -0500

Your words can heal you or harm you, so choose wisely.

If you have accepted Jesus' free gift of abundant life, here and for all eternity, you have unlimited resources.

Today, we talk options.

Like releasing trapped emotions and allowing your soul to direct your brain for healing throughout your body.

Healer Vicki Volby is back with me to discuss WORD POWER and the restoration available to you.

This is so exciting!

Carolyn and I cover a lot of subject matter today, not the least of which is the church's culpability in holding us in our curses.

Yeah. Marinate in that one for a minute.

Then tune in to be encouraged and emboldened to move into a better, more abundant space, with a Savior who tells us the work was finished on the cross.

The only thing that keeps us imprisoned in what he died to save us from is...us.

Our mindset is everything.

Our words are power.

COLOR SPEAK, Season 6, Episode 11: SUGAR CREEK AMISH MYSTERIES w Filmmaker Chevonne O’Shaughnessy

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 11:00:00 -0500

SUGARCREEK AMISH MYSTERIES is a delightful new series which will launch on the UP FAITH & FAMILY platform April 16th, and on UP TV April 23rd.

This series is for you if you are worn out with the garbage offerings on other major platforms and want to find wholesome joy in entertainment again!

The filmmaker/producer of this popular series is again my guest on the show. I know you will be encouraged by what Chevonne has to say!

***

Chevonne O’Shaughnessy is more than a filmmaker — she’s on a mission to uplift hearts, strengthen families, and bring back good old-fashioned moral values (with a side of popcorn). A three-time founder, brand builder, and producer, she’s spent decades creating stories that inspire, entertain, and remind audiences that goodness still sells.

Chevonne began on Universal Studios’ backlot in Orlando, producing six to eight movies a year as an independent distributor. Later, at PM Entertainment, she helped sell 12 action films annually for nearly a decade — 108 movies total — to networks like SYFY, HBO, and USA.

A born trailblazer, she went on to found three companies dedicated to clean, uplifting entertainment, distributing more than 500 feature films worldwide and selling to Hallmark, UPTV, and other major networks.

Today, Chevonne leads American Cinema Inspires, producing family-friendly films and the hit series Sugarcreek Amish Mysteries. She also runs ACI On The Go, a YouTube channel with over one million subscribers and 325 million views worldwide.

A mentor and advocate for women in film, Chevonne continues to prove that when you mix values with vision (and a dash of caffeine), you can inspire millions.

Chevonne's new product is an 8-hour series airing on UPTV on April 16th and Up Faith and Family on April 23rd. Asides from this I own a library of over 500 films and series which I distribute in multiple platforms worldwide and my own YouTube channel that has acquired over 1 million subscribers.

COLOR SPEAK, Season 6, Episode 9 ACTIVIST EXPOSES TRUTH: EPSTEIN, ALEX JONES, CONSPIRACY & CONTROVERSY with Artist, Journalist, Activst Anthony Freda

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 13:00:00 -0600

Anthony Freda wants to inspire the fight for Western Civilization and Christianity.

You are going to love this guy! He will make you want to tighten your boxing gloves.

Giving up great mainstream success to fulfill spiritual purpose, Anthony is a politicaly charged artist, activist, educator and longtime creative partner of Alex Jones on INFOWARS. He is a crusader for truth who has also partnered with RFK Jr.

His work causes reaction, producing an impetus for communion with God and a call to action for His Kingdom.

I know you will love hearing from Anthony as much as I did.

***

Anthony Freda is a multifaceted artist, writer, and illustrator whose career has been defined by a series of moral crises and controversial shifts in his artistic and political journey, ultimately leading him to Jesus and shifting his focus to Christian art.

Freda's award-winning illustrations and paintings have appeared in numerous publications, including the New Yorker, Time, Rolling Stone, and the New York Times. He has a permanent art exhibit at the 9/11 memorial. Freda considers himself an information warrior, and his politically charged imagery currently graces millions of computer screens via a wide spectrum of mainstream and alternative websites. He has worked with prestigious publications such as The New York Times and The New Yorker, but it was his work on an OpEd piece for The New York Times promoting the Iraq War that sparked another ethical reckoning.

Freda's work has often pushed boundaries, both politically and artistically. His art is part of the permanent collection of the 9/11 Museum and Memorial in New York, where his piece is one of the only works that questions the official narrative of the events of 9/11. His ten-year tenure with Infowars as an illustrator and writer further cemented his place in the world of controversial alternative news, and he has been vocal about his role in the space.

Sparking more controversy, in 2024, an author in Germany faced legal consequences for simply posting one of his book covers on social media, and Freda himself has been extensively censored for his dissent against the official COVID-19 narrative. He has even been flagged as a potential domestic terrorist for his critical stance and controversial imagery.

In 2024, Freda worked as an illustrator and media consultant for RFK Jr.’s Super-Pac, AV24, further cementing his role in the political and media landscape. However, in recent years, Freda has pivoted his artistic focus towards Christian art. After decades of political commentary, he now sees the battle as spiritual and has committed to dedicating much of his creative work to Christ, producing original pieces as a devotion to his faith. He is a tenured professor at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York.

COLOR SPEAK, Season 6, Episode 8: HEALING IS YOUR RIGHT with Healer Vicki Volby, CECP, CBCP

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 13:00:00 -0600

Your body was designed to heal, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

But you need to do your part.

Today, my own personal healer, Vicki Volby, is back with me to encourage your understanding of wild healing potentialities!

May you be SO hopeful!

Xoxo

***

Vicki Volby is a Certified Emotional Code Practitioner and Certified Body Code Practitioner who recognized she had been given the gift of healing from the time she was a little girl. As an adult, following much trauma and sickness in her own life, she discovered how greatly emotions can affect our physical well-being and began a healing modality that began in 2012 that has proven successful.

In 2015, Vicki got very, very sick and went from specialist to specialist, without resolution. She finally went to a natural healer and slowly got better. After seeing this healer for about 6 months, she thanked him and told him that when she started with him, she thought her days were numbered. He concurred, telling her since she had brought the subject up, he thought her days were numbered also. At that point God reminded Vicki that she had been doing a very rough version of this her whole life, so she decided to do more detailed training with Christian schooling to make what she did in healing was more detailed, professional and smooth. She learned that what she had been doing her whole life was fine, BUT there was so much more, inasmuch as it is emotions can affect your physical health.

So, Vicki became certified as an Emotional Code Practitioner and went on to become certified as a Body Code Practitioner. She has now been doing this healing modality since 2012 and has loved every moment of it. She starts every session with prayer as God is her boss and she is honestly always in awe of what He does through her.

Along with that, God has put it on Vicki's heart to start a healing ministry for abused women called Hiding, Hurting, Healing and Out Of The Shadows. After her divorce, she went through the program twice before helping lead, as it not only helped her through the abuse in her marriage, but also through the abuse she suffered as a child. This program has been very healing to the women in the group and is giving Vicki amazing gratitude for the opportunity to help these women.

COLOR SPEAK, Season 6, Episode 6: MUSIC WAS CREATED TO PROSPER US with Composer, Pianist, Author Margaret Wacyk

Mon, 02 Feb 2026 20:00:00 -0600

I have long wanted to get my friend Margaret back on the show. She has a heart of pure gold and an outrageous, supernatural talent to match it. Her love for our God and his music is unriveled and that is undoubtedly why He has blessed her with an phenomenal gift that fuels a passion for what He created to fulfill and prosper us.

Music is our Creator's gift to us in ways too profound to truly grasp.

But we can get an idea through Margaret.

Oh, and this episode was cut short, but the message still thrives!

***

Margaret Wacyk is a concert pianist trained in the 19th century tradition of Golden Tone. Additionally, she is the author of three books, the latest of which is entitled LOVE NOTES. Margaret is a composer and recording artist. Her second recording, Piano Works was chosen as Gramophone Magazine’s Best New Releases from North America. Hailed by the American Music Guide for her “versatility in many styles that emphasize chameleon-like transformations” Margaret Wacyk is a trailblazer who is breathing new life into the art of piano playing.

Margaret was born into a musical family and her talent for music became evident from an early age. She graduated from New York University and supplemented her studies in composition at the Juilliard School. Her original compositions were featured in the film The Lesson.

As a soloist, Margaret made her NYC debut at Carnegie Recital Hall in 2000 and has since concertized in the United States and Europe. Notable appearances include her performance with the Gulf Coast Symphony in Florida, a solo appearance at the BIG Arts festival in Sanibel, Florida and multiple returns to Carnegie Recital Hall in NYC.

As a performer Margaret revives the tradition of expressive piano playing from the 19th century. She is the creator of the Golden Tone Technique method, an approach based on the Grand Tradition of the past. She teaches this unique course through her on-line academy and privately to students around the world.

Margaret is passionate about creating innovative programs that introduce new audiences into the powerful world of classical music. Using her talent in storytelling, film making, and poetry she makes the music come alive for listeners of all ages and backgrounds.

COLOR SPEAK, Season 6, Ep 5: THE LORD'S PRAYER FILM with Content Creator & Author Brad Nelson

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 16:00:00 -0600

If we were able to watch the Bible materialize and come to 3-D life before our very own eyes, it could change everything about the way we see the world, in past, present, and future realities. We could experience in greater measure our roles within it and take heightened delight in the God who created for us, and then paid the ultimate price--His own suffering and death, that our survival in what he created could be assured.

Now, in today's digital world, we can come very close to witnessing the unfurling of the centuries and God's devotion there. Through the acceleration of our senses, we are able to see our Creator's work triumph over what has come against it throughout time.

My guest today, Brad Nelson, and his partner, Brad Gray, are dedicated to making THE WORD our reality. We can now experience epic events as if they were unfolding before our eyes.

We can also experience the small, seemingly hidden details as if they were being wind whispered directly into our ears.

Today, Brad Nelson fills us in on The Sacred Thread, a new media initiative from Walking The Text that connects a film, a companion book, and an ongoing TV series—built to engage audiences with the original context of scripture through story driven experiences and digital discipleship journeys.

Soon to be released, The Lord’s Prayer film illustrates the power of the prayer Jesus instructed us to pray. Jesus' answer reshaped the world.

More than words we recite, this documentary film journeys through the lands of the Bible to show the prayer in its original context and what it means for our lives today.

COLOR SPEAK, Season 6, Episode 4: SHIFTING THE CULTURE OF SOCIAL MEDIA with BLESSN APP Creator Kevin Clark

Thu, 22 Jan 2026 17:00:00 -0600

What if you could shift the culture of social media to facilitate a space for kindness, faith, and encouragement--as opposed to what isn't?

My guest today is doing just that. Kevin Clark and his business partner, Gerald Jones, met backstage at the Academy Awards and decided to make a mission out of influencing social media for good.

So, they created the BLESSN app.

I hope you will be able to listen in today and be encouraged by what mighty men of valor look like against a world of self-serving social media creators.

It's past time for change!

***

Gerald Jones and Kevin Clark's friendship goes back over 20 years, to the night they first met backstage at the Academy Awards. Their bond grew through creativity, shared values, and a deep desire to make a difference. Together, they later won an Emmy Award for a public service announcement addressing school gun violence - a project that reflected their heart for inspiring hope and protecting the next generation.

Beyond their work in media, Gerald and Kevin have also been long-time business partners supporting individuals with developmental disabilities, running programs focused on empowerment and compassion. This commitment to community is woven into everything they do - and it became the foundation of Blessn.

The story of Blessn began in March 2023, when Gerald Jones became sick of doom scrolling on social media, and found himself bummed out after every TikTok session. It occurred to him that maybe there was a better way. There should be a short form video social media that uplifted and encouraged instead. He thought it would be better to faith scroll instead of doom scroll. He called his business partner, Kevin Clark, who was feeling the exact same way. They decided to create something themselves, that uplifted people about the world and each other. Something that encouraged connectedness.

Over the next several years, the two friends poured their faith, creativity, and personal savings into developing the Blessn app, testing every detail to make sure it felt safe, uplifting, and positive. Their mission is to shift the culture of social media and to make it a place where kindness, faith, and encouragement are celebrated, not drowned out by negativity.

At its heart, Blessn is more than an app - it’s a movement. A space where users can share uplifting videos, connect with others who believe in goodness, and replace endless “doom scrolling” with “faith scrolling.” Gerald and Kevin believe that positive scrolling has the power to change hearts, strengthen communities, and remind people that light always wins over darkness.

Believe it.

And continue declaring the truth in what is left of the wait.

Our God does not disappoint.

COLOR SPEAK, Season 6, Episode 1: HEALING TRAPPED EMOTIONS with Vicki Volby, CECP, CBCP

Tue, 13 Jan 2026 10:00:00 -0600

As our 6th season opener, I am thrilled to be able to introduce you to my own healer, Vicki Volby!

She is the real deal!

And she can help you.

Which is why I wanted to share her with you all!

There is not a one of us that hasn't suffered trauma and...trapped emotions. Please listen in today to hear why and how to get rid of the stuff you shouldn't keep to yourself!

XOXO

***

Vicki Volby is a Certified Emotional Code Practitioner and Certified Body Code Practitioner who recognized she had been given the gift of healing from the time she was a little girl. As an adult, following much trauma and sickness in her own life, she discovered how greatly emotions can affect our physical well-being and began a healing modality that began in 2012 that has proven successful.

In 2015, Vicki got very, very sick and went from specialist to specialist, without resolution. She finally went to a natural healer and slowly got better. After seeing this healer for about 6 months, she thanked him and told him that when she started with him, she thought her days were numbered. He concurred, telling her since she had brought the subject up, he thought her days were numbered also. At that point God reminded Vicki that she had been doing a very rough version of this her whole life, so she decided to do more detailed training with Christian schooling to make what she did in healing was more detailed, professional and smooth. She learned that what she had been doing her whole life was fine, BUT there was so much more, inasmuch as it is emotions can affect your physical health.

So, Vicki became certified as an Emotional Code Practitioner and went on to become certified as a Body Code Practitioner. She has now been doing this healing modality since 2012 and has loved every moment of it. She starts every session with prayer as God is her boss and she is honestly always in awe of what He does through her.

Along with that, God has put it on Vicki's heart to start a healing ministry for abused women called Hiding, Hurting, Healing and Out Of The Shadows. After her divorce, she went through the program twice before helping lead, as it not only helped her through the abuse in her marriage, but also through the abuse she suffered as a child. This program has been very healing to the women in the group and is giving Vicki amazing gratitude for the opportunity to help these women.

COLOR SPEAK, Season 5, Ep 38: COLOR for CANVAS BOOK LAUNCH w Publisher Missy Maxwell Worton & Author Carolyn Searcy

Thu, 13 Nov 2025 17:00:00 -0600

My publishing friends join me today to talk about a book that is near and dear to my heart.

My own!

But wait a minute. I wrote it for you.

Overall, it is speculative fiction, the goal of which is to get people thinking about the world around them. The story takes place over many generations on land that is significant. It is land awaiting its purpose, long recognized in the material and spiritual worlds as dedicated to the purpose of God. I am convinced we each have our own version of our Promised Land, whether that is proverbial or literal. Coming into agreement with that is significant for building the Kingdom of God here on earth. The Israelites Promised Land is the grand metaphor for all of us in the creation story.

Romans 8:19 says, “For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God.” ESV How many times have we read this verse and how many times have we glossed over it?

The Passion translation puts it this way: “The entire universe is standing on tiptoe, earning to see the unveiling of God’s glorious sons and daughters.” Wow!

Now, with this understanding, a shift takes place in our awareness of partnership with our Creator and His Creation. However, it isn’t easy.

Ephesians 6:12 tells us we will have to fight for it. “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”

The Passion translation puts it this way: “Your hand-to-hand combat is not with human beings, but with the highest principalities and authorities operating in rebellion under the heavenly realms. For they are a powerful class of demon-gods and evil spirits that hold this dark world in bondage.”

Verse 13 goes on to say, “Because of this, you must wear all the armor that God provides so you’re protected as you confront the slanderer, for you are destined for all things and will rise victorious.”

Think destiny.

I hope this novel will encourage you in so many ways. Mostly, I hope it will help you think outside of the box.

You may not have control over some of the things that have happened to you, but you do have control over your response to them.

I know. That's easier said than done.

Sure, obstacles pop up along the way, and the ways in which others hurt us can be devastating.

But there is color there.

Pamela Good is the author of HE NEVER LET GO, a deeply personal, powerful memoir. Raised by a mother suffering from paranoid schizophrenia, Pamela endured deep rejection, shame, and isolation from an early age, building walls and seeking validation through perfectionism. In her gripping memoir into the depths of the darkness of mental illness, Pam's remarkable resilience was her only shield. She began to question God, reject herself, and desperately hid her scars from the world. Soon, Pam could no longer outrun the truth. Her darkest night descended as she desperately wanted to tap out of life.

With a background as diverse as correctional officer in a men’s maximum-security prison, fitness entrepreneur, real estate agent, surgical technologist, and now ebike tour guide, Pamela has lived through experiences that most people only read about. Today, she uses her testimony to point people to the truth that God’s love defines their worth.

COLOR SPEAK, Season 5, Ep. 34: THIS GENERATION OF ENTERTAINERS! with Filmmaker/Creator of The Lost Healer Series, Wilson Hickman

Fri, 12 Sep 2025 12:00:00 -0500

I got a little choked up today, seeing God in this young man.

With the loss of Charlie Kirk this week, I am grateful the Holy Spirit saw fit to arrange this interview now, on the heals of such disappointment in the world.

But enter Wilson Hickman, an imaginative filmmaker called to affect the mountain of arts and entertainment, just when we need it most.

And just when we long to see the next generation rise up and assume their callings, courageously and confidently, God highlights those who lead the way. He brings to our attention those who have also committed to truth telling. Those who aren't afraid of deception. Those who know you they are.

Like Charlie.

And, as we have heard a lot in the last couple of days, we are all Charlie now.

Here is an great example.

Oh, and for all of you aspiring filmmakers, or anyone who feels called to the field of entertainment, this one's for you too,

***

Wilson Hickman is a follower of the Lord Jesus with a strong passion for storytelling. From a young age, Wilson began writing books in a variety of genres, and his passion for creativity led him to the visual medium of storytelling. When crafting a film, he often draws inspiration from his own life, vicariously learning and growing with the characters he creates. His latest project is an award-winning proof of concept episode for a Christian-themed fantasy TV series called The Lost Healer. Inspired by real-world spiritual warfare, the series is designed to transport viewers to an exciting new world while inspiring them to navigate the struggles of this one. Recognizing the power of stories to shape the culture, Wilson seeks to make compelling, God-honoring entertainment that can be enjoyed by a broad audience.

Thu, 07 Aug 2025 17:00:00 -0500

For anyone who has a story to tell (and that is you, my friend), today's discussion is a treat!

Because today the internationally best-selling, multi-award winning author, Francine Rivers is with me. Seriously, I could have rolled credits for the first twenty minutes of this episode and not covered her recognized talent. Suffice it to sat, Francine is gifted.

But I also personally know her to be selfless and immensely kind. She loves God's people because she loves his Son so very much.

It's been a couple of years since Francine has been on the show, so today we catch up, talking about her writing projects and the publishing industry, mostly. I take us off a time or two into the weeds, so topics like pets are part of it too.

I know you will enjoy just getting caught up with one of your all-time favorite authors!

***

New York Times bestselling author Francine Rivers had a successful writing career in the general market for several years becoming a born-again Christian; she then wrote Redeeming Love as her statement of faith. A retelling of the biblical story of Gomer and Hosea set during the time of the California Gold Rush, Redeeming Love is now considered by many to be a classic work of Christian fiction and it continues to be one of the industry’s top-selling titles year after year. Since Redeeming Love, Francine has published numerous bestselling novels with Christian themes—including The Masterpiece, Bridge to Haven, and A Voice in the Wind —and she has continued to win both industry acclaim and reader loyalty around the world. Her Christian novels have been awarded or nominated for numerous honors and in 1997, after winning her third RITA Award for Inspirational Fiction, Francine was inducted into the Romance Writers of America’s Hall of Fame. In 2015, she received the Lifetime Achievement Award from American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW). Francine’s novels have been translated into over 30 different languages, and she enjoys bestseller status in many foreign countries. Francine and her husband live in Northern California and enjoy time spent with their grown children and grandchildren. She uses her writing to draw closer to the Lord, and she desires that through her work she might worship and praise Jesus for all He has done and is doing in her life.

When I look back over my show notes, I always find so many goodies for title ideas that I am hard pressed to find the right one.

Today was especially difficult.

Because today, my friends Diana and Patty each had their most powerful messages to date, in my opinion.

I settled on one of Patty's journal entries that states, "Soon, nothing will be the same."

Wow.

And Diana's word from our God that says, "The mountain of the LORD will tower over all."

Again. Wow.

There were others too. Like this one: "Let go of exposure timing."

"My David receives my download."

And, "The Rescue of the Ages is not just a reprieve."

I could go on and on, but instead I am going to marinate in all I heard today and encourage you here and now to tune in. I am also going to declare God's goodness in the land of the living."

"BREAK IT LOOSE! GATEKEEPERS OF DARKNESS BE REMOVED!"

Fri, 13 Jun 2025 19:00:00 -0500

Christian parents are watching their influence fade—schools, media, and tech are shaping their kids more than they are. Nathan and D’Lytha are doing something about it.

Nathan, a set designer for The Chosen, and D’Lytha, a trained musical theater performer, have created a bold, God-honoring kids’ film that combats today’s culture of confusion, rebellion, and moral drift—not with lectures, but through story, music, and truth. Aria Appleton Shines has already won a prestigious award from IVCM!

Aria Appleton is a talented 11 year old girl who will do anything to achieve stardom - even conspire to cheat her best friend out of the lead role in the school musical. When Aria's mother leaves on a two week "business cruise". Aria is forced to stay with her babysitter's quirky, but genuine homeschool family. Through the family's positive influence, Aria begins to have second thoughts about her schemes, but might not be able to stop the events she's set in motion. Through everything, Aria escapes into her imagination to make sense of it all - her imagination, of course, being a variety of fantastic sequences, animation and musical numbers.

Check out the following links, and support good quality God-honoring entertainment for our children!

My sweet brother Ash West is back with me today to process through all the intel in this season. He has a great refresher look at Jonathan and his armor bearer from the book of 2 Samuel, chapter 14, verses 6-23.

Maybe it's a perspective you haven't considered before.

It's sooooo good!

COLOR SPEAK, Season 5, Episode 23: Finding Heart Friends, with Author Kristen Strong

Tue, 29 Apr 2025 21:00:00 -0500

Friendship is a gift our God loves to give us; one He loves to keep on giving. He so enjoys seeing His kids connect!

Our need for friends changes over the years. Our friends change over the years.

At times we are too busy to make them or keep them. Regardless, life is lonely without friends who get us.

We need good ones. Heart ones, who will go deep with us, understand us, and unite with us to form something bigger than ourselves.

Friends that think the way we do are more important than ever before as we navigate this time on earth. We need support! Without it, we can become a little desperate.

My guest today is making it her mission to help the desperately lonely, and those who simply love making new friends, find what they need.

COLOR SPEAK, Season 5, Episode 22: The TRIBULATION is NOT What You Think, with Diana Larkin & Patty Teichroew

Fri, 18 Apr 2025 19:00:00 -0500

If you have been paying attention to what God has been saying through His people over the last decade, you are particularly excited right now. Because you know you have heard truth. Truth that is relevatory, good, and unfolding. You have been watching the marvelously encouraging words of our God come to life in living color!

We are living in exciting times, my friends! What an honor it is to be alive right now!

What an honor it is to partner with Him, in BELIEVING and SPEAKING!

My sweet friends, and treasures, Diana and Patty, are back today with more encouraging information from our Creator.

I know you will take to heart and soul the beauty of their messages today! And then, knowing you, you will act. Because we are in this together!

Your friends don't have to trust you. Your family doesn't have to believe you. The skeptics in your life and at large don't have to align with what you know.

BUT. God is coming for them.

One way or another.

Tue, 15 Apr 2025 06:00:00 -0500

Do feel seen?

Not just in the physical sense, but emotionally and spiritually?

You matter. And you are seen.

We all need to hear that sometimes.

Today, Lynne Farrell, author of a new 8-week study on this topic joins me to encourage us all.

COLOR SPEAK, Season 5, Episode 20: Be the Prophet of Your Own Life with Ash West

Sat, 12 Apr 2025 20:00:00 -0500

"...Stand in the ways and see, And ask for the old paths, where the good way is, And walk in it; Then you will find rest for your souls.'" Jeremiah 6:16

Looking to the past for our Creator's counsel enables us to find His wisdom painted in living color through the ages.

AND observing His present while engaging with His Holy Spirit enables us to embrace His glorious new.

God is always moving in BIG ways. He is always teaching us something new within the old.

Unless we permit obstacles to lodge on the road He is laying out for us, where bright and shiny objects may lure us away from our intended path. The old and the comfortable may block us too.

Our God is never stagnet. How can our relationship with Him be?

Today, Ash and I talk through some of the ways we navigate the confusion and the mystery of what the Holy Spirit is doing that is new and fresh, while staying grounded in the old.

There are SO many messages and opinions these days. So many prophetic voices. Amen! Though a collective consciousness is arising in His people, there is still a lot of conflicting information.

How do we make sense of it all and stay on the same page with one another?

It starts with an intimate relationship with Him. What happens in your alone moments with your Savior is what will renew your mind, far greater than any attraction designed to intercede.

COLOR SPEAK, Season 5, Episode 19: PROPHETIC INSIGHTS TO WHOLENESS IN REAL LIFE; Prophetic Author/Artist Carolyn Searcy

Wed, 26 Mar 2025 14:00:00 -0500

My beautiful, hope-filled, prophetic friend, Carolyn, is here with me today to talk with me about life and the things that hold us back from our created purpose.

We cover a LOT of topics today, so if one doesn't resonate with you, hold on for more!

When discuss freedom, forgiveness comes up. Of course it does and yes, I know it isn't a fun word. But even the faithless understand how important this is. We must purge ourselves of all the poisons that hold us in bondag. Failing to forgive is at the top of the list.

Here is what Carolyn suggests we say aloud:

Thank you Jesus for dying in my place that I might be forgiven. By an act of my will I now chose to forgive those who have hurt me or sinned against me. I forgive ____________________ for __________________ (be specific).

I give to each one of these the gift of unconditional foregiveness, They owe me nothing. I entrust them to you God. I bless each of them in your Son's name.

Lord, I ask you to forgive me for my ungodly response to the offense and the pain. I have judged others with wrong attitudes and words, and in bitterness and anger. (Be specific) I ask you now to forgive me from my ungodly and sinful responses.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

(Speak out the ungodly ways you have responded to the pain people have caused you.)

Forgive me for these and any other sinful, hidden things in my heart that have given the enemy legal rights to torment me. I chose to repent of these ungodly and sinful responses and practices. Thank you Jesus that I am forgiven and you are sttting me free. I ask you to come and move powerfully in my life to change me.

Thank you Father for the cross and for forgiving me and all my sins. I chose now to forgive myself for _________________________________________________ (Be specific). I willl now longer hold these things over my life but free myself from them in Jesus' name.

Please forgive me Lord for blaming you and judging you for what others have done to me. I need to speak out the words, "I release you Father for those things my heart has held against you." (Be specific) Thank you for loving me and promising to set me free.

COLOR SPEAK, Season 5, Episode 18, SURPRISES, with Diana Larkin and Patty Teichroew

Tue, 18 Mar 2025 20:00:00 -0500

My beautiful friends, and sisters, Diana and Patty, are back with me today to encourage me.

Oh, and you too, of course!

I am completely serious. It is my delight to share them! Lol.

Prophecy is all about the assurance God is among us and loves us, enough to make us aware of a few things. (1 Corinthians 14:25)

I hope you feel the same way!

Honestly, I don't know what I would do without these two!

COLOR SPEAK, Season 5, Episode 17: FILMMAKING WITH PURPOSE with Filmmakers David Alford & Joseph Stam

Tue, 18 Mar 2025 09:00:00 -0500

I feel you.

The moment you consider the wisdom of watching something on television. Anything on television. Or any other method by which you feel like unwinding after a day.

Our choices for entertainment are absolutely pitiful these days. There is little redemptive value in what we as a society are allowing into our hearts, minds, and souls. The violence, the sex, the outright celebration of demonic enterprise. It is disgusting.

Even animated shows for kids are laced with this filth.

And worse, it's intentional.

This must change.

Enter a couple of godly men who aim to produce faith films with messages of hope and redemption in a way the Church at large hasn't seen. What they produce is real and raw and human.

I think you will enjoy our conversation to day about ways we can all change the landscape of the mountian of arts and entertainment.

COLOR SPEAK, Season 5, Episode 12: INTERPRETING PROPHECY, ANGELS, & THE KINGDOM, with Ash West

Thu, 20 Feb 2025 21:00:00 -0600

"He who is noble plans noble things and on noble things he stands." Isaiah 32:8

Holy Spirit led me to this verse before Ash and I began recording our conversation today. I realized, only as we were wrapping up, how significant this admonition from our Creator is.

Then, as I sat down an hour later and picked up my Bible, it again fell open to this verse, underlined in bold, pink pen.

I think our God is making a point.

We are called to our noble assignments! For goodness' sake, we must act like nobles! The kind that are assured of position and prepared to defend our territory.

Please tune in to what Ash has to say today to encourage you. We cover a LOT of subject matter as we navigate the waters of the Kingdom and our collective role in his time.

"Great music is a magnetic highway," my friend Margaret Wacyk once said.

The power of music is much more than we realize, because our bodies react to the natural laws of music.

In short, the RIGHT music can heal us.

So, it stands to reason the wrong music can harm us.

Any guesses as to what we have mostly been listening to in this age?

Stay tuned today, because the talented, knowledgable, and delightful Margaret is back with me with all kinds of wisdom to help you cope and heal with whatever you are going through with the gift of music.

God gave us music from the very beginning. It's time we reclaim what is ours!

COLOR SPEAK, Season 5, Episode 10: WINE, PROPHECY, and the KINGDOM with Author Gisela Kreglinger

Wed, 12 Feb 2025 12:00:00 -0600

We've gotten many things all wrong.

So in this season, God is exposing our errors as He calls forth abundant, KINGDOM living.

And it feels like everything is changing.

Life as we once knew it is gone on so many levels and our understanding of ourselves and our place here on earth is being honed.

We are also begining to understand, to truly grapple with, the good we call evil and the evil we call good.

To that end, our God is again unveiling what it looks like to live in intimate relationship with Him. We are begining to once again wrap our collective minds around the abundance He has given us to enjoy, because "He who loves men, loves their joy." (The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky.)

Today, Gisela Kreglinger, author of CUP OVERFLOWING, does a brilliant, poetic job of bringing these truths into focus through discussion of the gift of wine over the centuries. The Bible is full of illustrations of wine as God's blessing.

It is time we put aside the enemy's lies where this blessing of God is concerned.

If you are one of those who has been made to feel wine is something to avoid, or worse, to consume in secret, I hope we cover most of your concerns today.

Even if you are one who has always enjoyed good wine, if you listen in, I think you will gain marvelous perspective regarding the love of your Creator for you through wine.

***

Gisela Kreglinger grew up on a winery in Franconia, Germany, where her family has been crafting wine for many generations. She holds two master’s degrees in biblical studies from Regent College and a PhD in historical theology from the University of St. Andrews. She teaches Christian spirituality in the academy, churches, on her annual wine pilgrimages, and every time an opportunity opens up around the dinner table, preferably with a glass of well-crafted wine to inspire her musings on food, faith and the importance of cultivating joy and conviviality. Kreglinger is the author of Cup Overflowing: Wine’s Place in Faith, Feasting and Fellowship, The Spirituality of Wine, and The Soul of Wine.

COLOR SPEAK, Season 5, Episode 9 THE GOLDEN AGE with Diana Larkin and Patty Teichroew

Fri, 07 Feb 2025 16:00:00 -0600

A few days ago a friend of mine sent me a text that read, "I feel like it's Christmas everyday."

I giggled. It is so true. Our God has not let us down!

And He is not finished yet.

But even in our immense gratitude, we are still mindful of those BIG assurances that haven't happened yet.

Yeah, those.

They are still intact, right? And just how long will it take for the cresendo (as Patty puts it) happen?

Get ready, because our God's Golden Glory will not only put an end to the monumental coverups of the most despicable crimes against humanity, it will overtake corrupt, controlling, and theiving financial systems.

You gotta love a good WORD!

Imagine finding out that every twist and turn in your life was leading to something amazing! That despite your best attempts to sidetrack your destiny, God was actually helping you reach your greatest outcome!

Because when you trust in Him, when you allow Him to take over, your choices will align with your destiny.

Even when it seems you don't have one.

Sure, we make mistakes. Other people's free will hurt us. Our free will hurts us.

But if we give all of our waiting, all of our suffering, over to the Only One who can take it and make it good, we will see all of those puzzling pieces of our lives sorted out to paint a beautiful picture, the likes of which we haven't dared hope to imagine.

Gary and Kim Elliot are with me today to talk about their story of hope and redemption. One that will showcase God as the Ultimate Romance Author. Co-authors of their latest book, VIOLETS IN THE SNOW, their love story is filled with signs and wonders that will encourage every human, no matter where one is on the marriage journey.

Gary and Kim Elliot are devoted to knowing God and His ways. They gave their single years specifically to knowing His romantic ways and experienced His perfect timing for their lives.

COLOR SPEAK, Season 5, Episode 6: A FRESH GLIMPSE OF HEAVEN with Tahni Cullen, Author of JOSIAH'S FIRE

Thu, 30 Jan 2025 16:00:00 -0600

If you are looking for a faith face-lift, you have come to the right place today.

Because today, what you will hear could change everything about the way you view the BEYOND. And your own life too.

Get ready to be TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING OF YOUR MIND!

Today we will expand our thinking through JOSIAH CULLEN'S eyes. His spectacular visions, heavenly encounters, and supernatural expirences are a gift to the world, and what forced his family out of their comfort zone and preditable theology, catapulting them into a mind-blowing love-encounter with Jesus!

The Cullens believed their son was autistic, but it turns out he is so much more! Josiah had not been formally taught to read or write, but suddenly began to type on his iPad profound paragraphs about God, science, history, music, strangers, and heaven.

What was revealed to him is a mysterious world, full of LOVE, and one his parents can no longer stay quiet about!

***

Tahni Cullen spends most days as a homeschooling, caregiving, strengths-boosting, communication-partnering mom and intimate friend for her 19-year-old son, Josiah. She penned a memoir in 2015 called "Josiah’s Fire: Autism Stole His Words, God Gave Him a Voice" that chronicles their family’s path that brought them to a communication breakthrough for Josiah through spelling, unearthing his rich inner world. His very first independent sentence, "God is a good gift giver," spurred a family paradigm shift from coping with an autism diagnosis to hoping for a good future grappling with the whole person--spirit, soul and body. Josiah is a poet and shares his profound wisdom and musings on his Facebook page, "Josiah's Fire,” does an ongoing service project called Josiah’s Care Packs that he assembled for people in senior care facilities and undergoing cancer treatment. He and his mom have currently buddies up with another mom and autistic nonspeaking speller to launch a little entrepreneurial business called “Kernels of Joy.” Tahni has been married to Joe for 26 years and they live with Josiah and dog Lucy in St. Paul, Minn.

COLOR SPEAK, Season 5, Episode 4: Music for God Alignment with Alicia Marie Kelly

Wed, 22 Jan 2025 07:00:00 -0600

We often lose the beauty God has created for us and this is no accident.

Our enemy, prowling about like a feral beast, is always looking to steal what is ours. What is beneficial for us.

He tries to get his jaws around every single good gift our Creator bestowed upon us for abundant living.

It stands to reason then, he would devour music. Lucifer was in charge of it from the beginning, you know, and it was amazingly holy. It caused life to thrive!

Now, just to make certain we aren't mindful of what we are missing out on, our enemy largely replaces what he has thieved with an adulterated version of what our God created for us.

Factor in the acceleration of time and what was once critically important disappears from sight, getting smaller and smaller in our rear view mirrors until it is no longer even accessible. Which is why, until recently, the ancient Solfeggio scale was nearly eradicated from our common consciousness and we had stopped talking about ancient frequencies.

We have lived in a society where the latest is the greatest and our egos know a thing or two more than any Benedictine monk! Long live rock and roll! (I like it too, by the way, so rock on!)

Honestly though, we should be mindful of what was specifically created to benefit us, not merely entertain us!

"Some say the Solfeggio was simply abandoned for a new music scale, others argue that it disappeared among the political and religious turmoil of Western Europe’s Middle Ages. And there are even some who posit some more, well, conspiratorial theories, from Biblical secrets to plots by the Roman Catholic Church." (www.MindVibrations.com)

Whatever the case may be, we are now realizing the importance of music in our lives. And not just the kind that is entertaining or moving, but that which DOES something!

Alicia Marie Kelly is a gifted vocalist who worships our God with her voice in a way that will allow you to look into His face. Her voice will elevate you! It will provide you peace and comfort, joy and healing, and so much more!

And in a way that you will know why and for Whom you where created.

***

After almost 30 years as a professional cantor in the Catholic Church, Alicia Kelley now writes and sings with the Holy Spirit like never before, producing songs that connect people into deeper relationship with their Creator. Alicia's eyes were opened in 2022 to religion and she left on Christmas Eve of December 25th, 2022, was born again and water baptized March 5th, 2023. More filled with song than ever before, she learned some basic piano chords and started recording the songs she loved to share with family and friends. She now shares her God-given gift in a way that honors the Creator of Heaven and Earth, elevating Him only!

COLOR SPEAK Season 5, Episode 3: What Must Follow the Inauguration with Prophetic Healer Shelly Harney

Tue, 21 Jan 2025 12:00:00 -0600

The future has never looked brighter.

One day after the inauguration of our rightful President, Donald J. Trump, we all feel the shift. We are one step closer to our redemption. God has given us a leader that will facilitate our journey farther into into the Kingdom Age.

And yet, there is still reason to stay focused on the work ahead. And to trust our God to make happen what needs to happen.

We need not fear.

Prophecy is for our enlightenment and elevation.

Our God is using His people in this time. No one person has the entire picture, but together, in love, we may understand His plan for humanity now.

COLOR SPEAK Season 5, Episode 2 WINE in the WORD with Gisela Kreglinger & Randy Frazee

Sat, 18 Jan 2025 12:00:00 -0600

It is high time we do something about the fallacy of wine consumption within the church.

Because wine has become a thing in some denominations. It is misunderstood often. Demonized on occasion.

Why is that?

I ask you to set aside any preconceived notions you might have about wine and what it looked like in Biblical times.

What is your source of information?

Also set aside any familial history or associative experiences. Think about why you feel the way you do. Then, think out of the box.

Today we are going to unpack a few things, but we could spend days and weeks on the subject matter.

Thankfully, we have a couple of experts on the show today to help shed some light on this subject.

Cheers!

***

Psalm 104:15

"You provide sweet wine to gladden our hearts."

Ecclesiastes 9:7

"Go, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart, for God has already approved what you do."

Patty Teichroew grew up in a Christian home and became a Christian when she was nine years old. She remembers hearing sermons about when God would speak to Moses, Noah, Elisha, David and so many others in the Bible and she would think to herself, if God spoke to people back then, why doesn’t He speak to people now?

Because Patty grew up in the Baptist Church, the Holy Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit were not taught except that a person received the Holy Spirit upon becoming a Christian and so she had no understanding of them. It wasn’t until she went to Explo ‘72 that she received an understanding of the importance of the Holy Spirit. At the time, the gifts of the Spirit weren’t addressed but just learning that the Holy Spirit was empowering her to follow His commandments brought her so much relief and joy. At this youth gathering, she heard the Lord’s voice for the first time and that was monumental for her. When she returned home she became closer to her boyfriend whom she later married that following year. Years later she became a mother of two.

During the years of motherhood, Patty struggled as she felt incapable of fulfilling the important role of being a mom and wife and yet she so wanted to be successful so she started spending time with the Lord. It wasn’t long before she began to hear Him speak to her and He would answer her questions as how to respond to situations in her life. In the last twenty years she has heard the Lord speak on a more steady basis and now He speaks to her daily. Everyday now she inquires of the Lord and asks Him what is on His heart and He responds to her.

It would be great to see into Heaven while still living out our lives here on earth.

How encouraging that would be! Like knowing the end of a riveting novel, it would certainly make the struggles seem more doable.

But wait! Wouldn't that be heretical? Aren't we blessed for believing without seeing?

The answer is, our God is bigger than our minds can imagine, or fail to imagine.

You will want to hear what Kim Robinson has to say on the matter. If you haven't heard any of this before, you will be mind blown. And SO encouraged!

Color Speak, Season 4, Episode 40: Focus on JOY, Decree Against the Movie WICKED!

Mon, 02 Dec 2024 15:00:00 -0600

Our God is removing witchcraft from our country.

So why on earth would we partner with it, say, by seeing a movie about it? Wicked is truly wicked! STAY AWAY FROM IT!

Light WILL overcome the darkness and now is your opportunity to get on board with this. God is in the process of making all things right and his justice will prevail.

Will you partner with him or the darkness?

Today Patty Teichroew shares MUCH encouragment for the days ahead.

But God also has a warning for us and it's serious business.

I hope you will be able to invest the time today to listen and respond.

Delcare and decree that the Church of Jesus Christ is given an annointing not to see the movie Wicked and are convinced of its evil intention. Declare and decree that the powers of darkness are null and void, including all forms of sorcery, divination, and witchcraft!

COLOR SPEAK, Season 4, Episode 39: Wake Up! A Word from God through Prophet Shelly Harney

Tue, 12 Nov 2024 14:00:00 -0600

Wake up!

The hourglass is almost empty.

Come home now before it is too late!

Yikes!

What on earth does all of this mean?

Tune in to today's show to find out!

And read 1 Corinthians 14:1-5

"Pursue love and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy. For one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit. On the other hand, the one who prophesies speaks to people for their upbuilding and encouragement and consolation. The one who speaks in a tongue builds up himself, but the one who prophesies builds up the church. Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but even more to prophesy, the one who prophesies is greater that the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be built up."

Sat, 09 Nov 2024 07:00:00 -0600

In this season of tremendous change and joyful anticipation in the good fight, there are still a few details to work out and, obviously, not all of them are pleasant.

You may be one of those wondering, how on earth there could still exist hearts so blinded to the truth that they not rejoice in the triumph God has given us?

How could they not see what is best for this country?

And why, oh why, are people still watching main stream news outlets for false, fear-provoking information?

It's astounding to me the media is still at it. It's astounding to me people are still believing what they say. No wonder a segment of the populace is all worked up.

Sigh.

We still have an enemy releasing poisonous vapors of deception which fog lenses of discernment.

Peace comes with love.

It has always been about the love. We must love the planet back to life!

Love those who are thrilled. Love those who aren't.

And speak loudly and boldly. With love.

We have called upon the Lord God and He has delivered us. Now, we shall glorify Him. Psalm 50:15

Today Shelly has a good word of love from the Father.

Sun, 03 Nov 2024 08:00:00 -0600

You are called to have a warrior's passion!

And just what does that look like?

It looks like moving forward to occupy with a ferocity of strength and a lion's roar while simultaneously enjoying the peace that is a product of quiet confidence.

What?

Tune in today to hear from Diana Larkin on how our God is instructing us to walking through these coming months of battle and tumult to arrive in a beautiful place of sparkly lights and silent nights.

As always, Diana makes the world a more beautiful place. She assures us our promised victory is at hand.

From a Watchman's Journal, https://dianalarkin.blogspot.com, 10/31/24:

WARRIOR PASSION
“I would like you to walk through these coming months of BATTLE and TUMULT in the QUIET CONFIDENCE of My PEACE and My PROMISES. Begin each day by DRAWING NEAR TO ME and BREATHING IN MY STRENGTH and MY STEADYING LOVE. Remember that no matter what CHALLENGE or SCHEME the darkness tries, I have PROMISED you the VICTORY. You will see your rightful leader put into the place I have ANOINTED and CALLED him to. Instead of being OVERWHELMED by all the FRANTIC ATTEMPTS the darkness launches to try and STOP the EXPOSURES of their WICKEDNESS, see them through My eyes and know that I will give you the STRATEGY to DEFEAT them. ALL of Heaven’s FORCES are with you. The Great Cloud of Witnesses is CHEERING you on. You have been CHOSEN to live at this PIVOTAL time in history, and you have My STRENGTH, POWER, and AUTHORITY to battle with VALOR and NO THOUGHT of BACKING DOWN until you SEE My banner of VICTORY over your nation. Don’t DREAD or SHRINK BACK from the coming battles. Meet them with our SUPERIOR FORCES, and with My WARRIOR PASSION and My ROAR of AUTHORITY. Look at each scheme they attempt to deploy as dealing them another DEATHBLOW from the FORCES OF LIGHT. As you WAR against the darkness, you will do it from the place of My STEADY PEACE and in the CONFIDENCE of My FAITHFUL PROMISES. You are ENFORCING the VICTORY that I have declared.” ISAIAH 35:3, 4 (TPT)”Strengthen those who are discouraged. Energize those who feel defeated. Say to the anxious and fearful, ‘Be strong and never afraid. Look, here comes your God! He is breaking through to give you victory! He comes to avenge your enemies. With divine retribution He comes to save you!’”

Victory is not only promised us, it has been given us.

What exciting times we live in!

Now, for the disclaimer:

You must stand and fight for it. You have a responsibility in this hour. STILL. You much choose a side. Darkness or Light. For example, since we are days from Halloween:

AVOID IT. DO NOT CELEBRATE IT.

You must choose very carefully who or what you align with. Things are very dark out there.

Put your armor on and join the right army.

BE who God made you to be!

Be a son or daughter of God!

There is SO much blessing coming for those who choose to walk in the LIGHT!

Color Speak, Season 4, Episode 34: This is War with Shelly Harney and Carolyn Searcy

Tue, 15 Oct 2024 18:00:00 -0500

Is your lack of knowledge destroying you?

Our God tells us, "My people are destroyed for their lack of knowledge." ~ Hosea 4:6

Interesting how that verse has not been highlighted in most churches. Not really.

More interesting is how that same verse is now being explored as if we are just seeing it for the first time. It is being celebrated in this time, as if it is a tickertape feed running through our minds, a lighted marquis flickering and buzzing in our dark nights, illuminating our paths.

Because right now God's people are coming into a full understanding of what it means to be fully informed. And what it looks like to wage war. We are beginning to fully process what practical application looks like--what is necessary to not only deal with a very real enemy, but to crush him for complete removal from our Savior's plans for our life.

Like ants at a picnic, a contrivance at best, or as scripture puts it, a lion roaring about looking to devour, at worst, we must deal with his attacks. We mustn't focus on the setbacks, but rather lean into the God who has power and authority over all that comes against us.

The God who gave us his own power and authority to eradicate all that comes against us by shining the light there and attacking it with his help. I think we have forgotten exactly what that looks like.

But we are awakening.

I know you will be greatly encouraged by our conversation today.

Color Speak Season 4, Episode 33, with Shelly Harney: Getting Into The Flow of Holy Spirit

Tue, 08 Oct 2024 16:00:00 -0500

The power of God is available to us.

Because our God manifests himself to those who love him. (John 14:20)

I don't know about you but I can't even wrap my head around that. However, I have known this truth.

Today my guest Shelly Harney is back to tell us how to get into THE FLOW!

Here are some notes from the show: First, you must be a believer in Jesus for access to God. ~ John 14:6

It is Jesus who empowers us. ~ John 14:2

Jesus gave his disciples directives. ~ Matthew 10:8

As his disciples, we have his power through Holy Spirit. ~ Acts 10:38

We must believe it is God's power than enables us to do all things. ~ Mark 27

God is LOVE. ~ Matthew 22:37

We must be rooted and grounded in God's love to be filled with God! ~ Ephesians 3:16-19

The power that works in us can do his work. ~ Ephesians 3:20

And the best part, as mentioned above: He will manifest himself to those who love him.

As we focus on love, causing us sanctifying growth, more of his power comes upon us.

Power to work within our giftings, like the ability to heal and prophecy.

Wow.

I'm in!

COLOR SPEAK Episode 32: God Wants You to War Right Now; A Prophetic Word with Patty Teichroew

Thu, 03 Oct 2024 13:00:00 -0500

Your permanent freedom is God's goal in this hour.

He is setting you up for success, but you need to do your part as well.

You are called to stake a stand--to fight with words mixed with faith. Now is the time! These are the days we've been waiting for!

Today my guest is Patty Teichroew, who hears what our God is saying to encourage us. She will give you hope and fuel your own personal call to action!

I hope you will listen in to the end. We have POWER in our voices.

Patty Teichroew grew up in a Christian home and became a Christian when she was nine years old. She remembers hearing sermons about when God would speak to Moses, Noah, Elisha, David and so many others in the Bible and she would think to herself, if God spoke to people back then, why doesn’t He speak to people now?

Because Patty grew up in the Baptist Church, the Holy Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit were not taught except that a person received the Holy Spirit upon becoming a Christian and so she had no understanding of them. It wasn’t until she went to Explo ‘72 that she received an understanding of the importance of the Holy Spirit. At the time, the gifts of the Spirit weren’t addressed but just learning that the Holy Spirit was empowering her to follow His commandments brought her so much relief and joy. At this youth gathering, she heard the Lord’s voice for the first time and that was monumental for her. When she returned home she became closer to her boyfriend whom she later married that following year. Years later she became a mother of two.

During the years of motherhood, Patty struggled as she felt incapable of fulfilling the important role of being a mom and wife and yet she so wanted to be successful so she started spending time with the Lord. It wasn’t long before she began to hear Him speak to her and He would answer my questions as how to respond to situations in her life. Hearing from the Lord didn’t come everyday but was pretty random at first. But in the last twenty years she has heard the Lord speak on a more steady basis and now He speaks to her daily. For awhile it was only about her family and then it changed to Him speaking about His Church and then the government and now so much more. Everyday now she inquires of the Lord and asks Him what is on His heart and He responds to her. Patty considers it amazing that He would speak to her everyday but His Word says that Blessed are those who hunger and thirsts for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. (Matthew 5:6)

Color Speak, Season 4, Episode 31, Access to the Holy Place, with Annointed Vocalist Alicia Marie Kelley

Thu, 26 Sep 2024 04:00:00 -0500

God gave us music to connect us with him.

Musical notes in his frequency re-unite the deepest parts of our hearts, minds, and souls, transporting us to healing and peace through our Creator.

Once you listen to my guest today, you will understand that access.

Alicia Marie Kelley is using her amazing talent to paint a picture of God with her voice.

One that provides restoration and healing in the Spirit of the Lord.

Music was never meant to be restricted to an entertainment choice. It was designed to remind us of that perfect peace that is ours through Jesus Christ.

Color Speak, Season 4, Episode 30: The New Believer's Gift to Heal with Shelly Harney

Thu, 19 Sep 2024 12:00:00 -0500

It's mind blowing when you realize God has given you THE PART OF HIMSELF he wants you to use in his kingdom here on earth.

It's crazy to think our King doesn't want to just rule over us, but to rule WITH us.

You don't need a degree or special training. You don't need an executive background or a resume detailing your levels of expertise.

You don't even need a background in the faith.

You only need a heart FOR him to partner WITH him.

You need a relationship with the One, True King, our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God. A deep, intimate, soul-nourishing connection with our Creator is what qualifies you.

So, step up and into your calling. My guest today, Shelly Harney, and I are here to help you in what is the first of many episodes we've planned to help you hear the voice of God and to act with him and for him.

Be encouraged that you are enough to act right now.

COLOR SPEAK, Season 4, Episode 29: The Battle Strategy with Ash West

Tue, 17 Sep 2024 16:00:00 -0500

The darkness cannot comprehend YOU.

Yup. Cannot. Comprehend.

Because the darkness cannot comprehend the LIGHT. (John 1:5)

And if you call Jesus Christ your Lord, HIS light is in you. It shines from you like a lighthouse at night on a foggy, wind-battered, wave-ravaged seashore.

Thus, the problem.

Bet you've been feeling misunderstood lately. Bet you feel your little light has been flickering in the tempest which is currently slamming your shore.

Stop it. Stop believing your God isn't wanting to ignite your flame into fire for the world to see. Stop believing the opposition can take it out.

The LIGHT is shining! And it's happening through you and me.

Our God is revealing SO much in SO many ways in this age.

The battle is real. The battle strategy, magnificent.

Today, I hope you will allow God to turn up the heat on your fire through the encouragement of my friend, and God Dreamer, Ash West. As is illuminating what our God is doing through each and every one of us who accepts partnership with him.

Including our dreamsapes. There we find our call to arms and plan of attack.

We cover a lot of ground today, so whether you savor what Holy Spirit is revealing in small chocolate-like squares or endeavor to enjoy the entire bar at once (I would argue God really does appreciate a good dark chocolate), you will be greatly encouraged to stay the course!

Keep the faith!

Wear your armor properly!

And keep enjoying your chocolate! (That part Ash and I discussed off the air following our discussion. Later, I remembered military chocolate has been a part of standard U.S. military rations since the original 1937 D-Ration bar.

WE ARE AT WAR BUT OUR RATIONS ARE SWEET!)

Oh, and pull out your Bible for a journey through the book of Daniel, where we are affirm our God still ignites our fires through our dreams.

COLOR SPEAK, Season 4, Episode 28: Call Forth Exposures! With Diana Larkin

Fri, 13 Sep 2024 10:00:00 -0500

There is a rude awakening coming. Our God wants us prepared.

And when the enemy comes knocking on your door with fear and dread, for heaven's sake, don't open the door!

Ask Jesus to get the door for you. Pretty simple, right?

For sure, as long as you aren't double-minded (James 1:8).

And don't allow the enemy to take anything from you because you are more than a conqueror! (Romans 8:37)

Not only are you called to take back all the enemy has stolen from you, you are to call forth exposures. Now. The more that is exposed, the less the violence as a result.

It will be impossible to listen to what Diana has to say today and to walk away without feeling these truths!

You will feel empowered to TAKE IT ALL BACK!

***

Here are some of Tauren Wells song lyrics from Take it All Back Diana quotes in this episode:

You can't speak your lies over my family, no
You can't break the promises that are standing, no
Ain't gotta flex to put you back in your place now
One name is all I gotta say, Jesus

I'm calling the angels down
I'm storming the gates of hell
Tell the devil he don't own my soul
I'm taking back what the enemy stole

I'm raising the battle cry
I'm holding the banner high
With the power of the holy ghost
I'm taking back what the enemy stole

Take it all back
Take it all back
I'm taking back what the enemy stole

Color Speak, Season 4, Episode 27: Recognizing the Religious Spirit

Sun, 11 Aug 2024 09:00:00 -0500

Could there be a demonic spirit at work in your church?

There is a spirit called religion, believe it or not. And believe it or not, you may have been under its spell.

Because it often preys on us where we gather to worship, for crying out loud.

It always works to control.

It always judges.

It's an evil spirit that produces condemnation, shame, guilt, discontent--adultry. You name it.

And it's really angry.

Today I ask you to listen in with an open heart, ready to receive the love Jesus Christ has for you. It's a love that wants to open windows and carry away stale, worn-out philosophies and rules on a fresh breeze. It's a love that breaks the bars of imprisonment to set you free from captivity to soar over mountaintops in overwhelming joy with your Savior.

Color Speak, Season 4, Episode 25, GOD IS NOT MESSING AROUND! with Diana Larkin

Wed, 24 Jul 2024 07:00:00 -0500

Not a one of us hasn't changed siginificantly over these last four years. God has expanded our thinking in myriad ways.

And He has gifted us with people like Diana to encourage us along the way.

The prophetic world came alive for many of us during the plandemic, carrying us through the worst of times and filling our hearts with joy in anticipation of the best of times. God's assurances through the voices of his prophets was and is coming through loud and clear.

God is pouring out His Spirit on ALL people. (Joel 2:28)

The truth is more illuminated than ever before.

As we look back on what the Holy Spirit has been revealing to us, we can be confident He means what He says. The ground on which we stand has never been more secure as we watch our declarations, intercessions, and prayers--our partnership in trust--come to fruition.

We must continue to hold our positions as we enter our final battle.

The best is yet to come because our God is not messing around!

Color Speak, Season 4, Episode 24, The Religious Spirit, with Mary Katherine Searcy

Tue, 16 Jul 2024 06:00:00 -0500

How do you know if you are being influenced by a religious spirit?

How do you know there IS such a thing as a religious spirit?

A religious spirit is a mockery of the Holy Spirit. Like all other things demonic, it masquerades, is counterfeit, and counter productive. It bears the fruit of chaos and corruption.

It presents itself as a legitimate force of God.

And sets up strongholds in our churches.

The religious spirit causes one to become rigid and resist change. It insists it is right and champions pride at a deep level. It causes a Believer, even those filled with tremendous faith, to stand firm in what he or she knows is best over what the Holy Spirit is doing.

A religious spirit causes us to close off any thoughts or ideas of moving forward beyond the parameters of what our individual or collective narrative is, standing in the way of the movement and voice of our God.

It accuses us of heresy.

It causes us to focus on the wily ways darkness can deceive us over the ways God is trying to lead us.

Can we just take a moment to consider its influence in our lives where faith is concerned? We have all been held in bondage by this spirit to one degree or another.

If there is any bitter fruit of pride, self-righteousness, anger and resentment, etc. within or beyond the church, the religious spirit is in the mix.

It would stand to reason.

Because religion keeps us from taking our Promised Land. Our Savior died for our eternal reward and included in that is the present partnership he is hoping to have with each of us. We must address the spiritual elephant in the room to beat him out of the way.

Mary Katherine Searcy is a champion for the freedom Jesus offers. I think you will absolutely love her and I hope you find our conversation food for thought.

COLOR SPEAK, Season 4, Episode 23, Dream BIG with Ash West

Thu, 11 Jul 2024 10:00:00 -0500

"Now it's time to be made brand new by every revelation given you." ~ Ephesians 4:23 (Passion Translation)

That verse begs the questions:

Do you WANT to be made brand new?

Or are you content with the way things are now?

From the beginning of time the deceiver has led God's people away from truth, callling lies truth and truth lies.

What are you believing now that you shouldn't be?

What truth are you rejecting?

We all have been held captive by our own self-imposed limitations.

Hopefully you believe God wants to encourage you, not destroy you along with the rest of the planet he disapproves of.

It is time we allow for the renewing of our minds. Ash is one of those called to help us do this.

We must encourage one another into the Kingdom on earth.

Maybe it's time we consider draining the swamp of our minds too.

Disclaimer: We had technical difficulties and much of our great convo went missing, so this episode ends abruptly. Stay tuned for more though because we won't give up!

"Today's discussion might ruffle a few feathers," I told her.

"That's fine," she said.

So, there we went. Right into controversy. But it's all good and all in the name of love. Don't you want to know truth so you can live your best life in reaction to it?

Honestly, we don't want to worship anything on the altar of an unknown god and we certainly don't want to sacrifice there. Do we?

DO WE?

Let's just keep open hearts in all that our God is exposing these days.

None of us is living the life we thought we were.

Color Speak, Season 4, Episode 20, GOOD TIMES AHEAD with Diana Larkin, Host of A Watchman's Journal

Thu, 30 May 2024 21:00:00 -0500

It will be beyond what you have ever seen.

Beyond. What. You. Have. Ever. Seen.

God is doing a thing in this hour.

So hold on now and don't give into the alternative narrative!

We are in unprecedented times. The spiritual war going on around around us, the effects of which are seen and felt in the natural realm, includes a shaking of the sleeping. Those who have been slumbering or distracted are being brought to attention and response.

God is allowing the evil of this world to be seen in a greater way.

This exposure is a call to action. It isn't a siren urging you to bunker down in despair and pray you are raptured to heaven!

God is so much bigger than that.

We are beginning to see signs of HIS presence like never before.

He is showing up in pockets all over the globe and in people of all ages.

The glory of our God is arising! He IS wiping out the darkness and establishing the LIGHT!

Beyond what you have ever seen.

REJOICE in the TRUTH that is being uncovered!

There are good times ahead!

Tue, 28 May 2024 14:00:00 -0500

Hollywood as we know it needs to go.

Because most of us are so over the content of feature films these days, to put it mildly.

As someone who grew up in Southern California and whose mother was raised in Hollywood, it grieves me to say this. What once felt like good, clean entertainment is no longer. I grew up on her stories of watching John Wayne filming on set, the famous guests she always ran into when at her boyfriend's house (whose father was a movie director), and the various glam girls she interacted with, like Nancy Sinatra, who told her how to put her makeup on properly. Some of her best days were spent singing the music of her next door neighbor and tree-climbing friend, Dean Torrence, who completed the duo of the surf-rock band Jan & Dean.

But those sun-filled glorious days in Surf City have gone to muck.

Thank God there are people like my guest today who are changing the world where entertainment is concerned.

Chevonne O'Shaughnessy is committed to producing wholesome, inspiring content in feature films that will leave all our hearts in better condition.

What she has to say today is fascinating and so very encouraging.

My late father used to say, "It all comes out in the wash."

That statement has never been more true, I think.

It may look like deception triumps, but truth always prevails.

Always.

It may seem as though evil always wins, but good is victorious.

Always.

So hang on to your hats!

It's happening.

The world is coming to know THE TRUTH! God has never left us or forsaken us. He has been assuring us of this.

And.

And he is taking us beyond the bondage we have known to experience him and his plans for us in greater measure.

Much greater measure.

Don't let the Pharisees get you down, people. Our God is so much bigger than small-minded agendas. He is in the business of encouraging, not restricting.

Always.

So I've gathered my team of encouragers again today to do just that.

Whatever vat of addiction, trauma, disease, malady, or hardship you feel entrapped in right now, there is freedom from it. For good.

Our guest today was set free from bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, eathing disorders, addiction--even an attempted suicide, because she decided to partner with truth.

The truth is Jesus.

He wants to set you free from what binds you to darkness. He died to save you from the schemes of evil. He overcame your enemy for you.

All you need to do is to come into agreement with LOVE.

You will want to listen in today. If you stick with us until the end, you will hear practical ways to change your environment too.

Color Speak, Season 4, Episode 16, Believe BIG, Receive BIG! With Natalie Valcarcel

Wed, 24 Apr 2024 10:00:00 -0500

The story you will hear today is not one you will forget.

Since this podcast began at the end of 2020, I have had the privilege of hearing from around a hundred women who have brilliant stories to tell--humans with amazing supernatural stories and worldly accomplishments, but Natalie's ranks up at the top for the profound impact it has personally had on me.

I first talked with Natalie almost two years ago, and since then, there have been numerous occasions in my own life when I recalled her faith as a shining example of what I could do too. At times I felt my resolve slipping away from me, I remembered the example Natalie had provided us all.

Natalie sets the bar HIGH for us where faith and determination are concerned.

So, now is the perfect time to have her back on the show to encourage those who haven't heard her remarkable testimony.

We are in an interesting moment in history. One in which we must have radical, mountain-moving, reality-bending faith as we move forward into the callings our God has placed on our lives.

Natalie is the perfect example of my favorite verse in Revelation 12:11:

Color Speak, Season 4, Episode 15, HOPE IS BREAKTHROUGH, with Authors Peggy Adams, Donna Bess, & Missy Maxwell Whorton,

Thu, 18 Apr 2024 19:00:00 -0500

If you are not RADIATING with hope in a certain area of your life, there is probably a stronghold there.

Think about that for a moment.

We haven't been given hope in vain. We were wired with it, designed to operated within it.

Hope is our birthright.

Our hope, then should be absolutely glistening in all circumstances.

But hope wears thin through prolonged wait.

Sometimes it's difficult to hold on to it. Often we dangle on the end of it.

We need hope more than ever right now and my guests today are here to help.

"Now may God, the FOUNTAIN of HOPE, fill you to OVERFLOWING with UNCONTAINABLE JOY and PERFECT PEACE as you trust in Him. And may the power of the Holy Spirit cotinually surround your life with his SUPER-ABUNDANCE until you RADIATE with HOPE." Romans 15:13 (Passion Translation, emphasis ours.)

Color Speak, Season 4, Episode 14, Healing in Ancient Frequncies with Pianist/Composer Margaret Wacyk

Thu, 11 Apr 2024 15:00:00 -0500

What you hear on this episode today could change your life. Because what you HEAR contains the power of creation.

I am telling you, this interview is fantastically mind-blowing!

Of course you know our earth was designed to provide all we need to thrive, but I don't think our minds can comprehend the true extent of it. For example, great music is a magnetic highway at our disposal. Ancient frequencies, largely ignored over centuries, are available to strengthen us in connection with our God in ways most of us have never considered before.

Early Jesus followers were on to something when they worshipped. It turns out Gregorian chant, or plainchat, that began during the Middle Ages in Europe is much more purposeful than a majority of this current world has come to terms with. A six-tone music scale, otherwise known as Solfeggio frequencies, was known to have healing properties. It is music that is monophonic, which means a melody of one note at a time. And paired with scripture, as our guest today tells us, greater healing, peaceful sleep, and the elimination of stress-producing illness is fostered in a way that is so wild, you will have to see it to believe it.

Margaret Wacyk is back with me today and this time she has a scientific experiment to enlighten us with. We had a few technical difficulties but I promise you, if you stick with us, you will have to pick your jaw up off the floor.

Our God is so good, and he's in EVERYTHING.

Color Speak, Season 4, Episode 10: Ancient Wisdom, the Saints, and Patrick

Fri, 15 Mar 2024 08:00:00 -0500

The wisdom of the early church is a gift that transcends time.

Do we truly take this to heart?

Okay, so we read our Bibles and celebrate the stories found within the pages of scripture, but how often are we lauding the examples the early church set for us?

I think if we are being honest, the protestant mindset has scripted the way we look at the saints.

Just keeping it real here.

We may appreciate some of what has been handed down through the centuries but haven't we considered much of the information dusty tomes to be kept on a shelf for appreciation from afar? Don't we know better than the generations that have come before us? Look at all the progress we have made!

As we continue to squabble over why one denomination is more right than the next. Why we know better.

Scripture aside, our denominational ethocentrism often keeps us from looking at our body as a whole, each an important member in the overall function, now, throughout the past, and into the future.

Which is why we don't look at our church fathers too closely. The latest and greatest speakers and Bible studies are much more alluring.

But what if the new is the old? What if we are missing some of the greatest testimony because we are too present, too forward focused?

Sure, we humans have made mistakes and will continue to do so. But we can take heart in one another.

I love where God is calling us to be now.

I think you will enjoy being part of our conversation today.

Color Speak, Season 4, Episode 9, What's Blocking Your Healing, with Author/Inner Healer, Carolyn Searcy

Mon, 04 Mar 2024 19:00:00 -0600

There may be an obstacle between you and your healing.

Just one.

But it's a doozy.

What may be blocking you from experiencing complete wellness is something you can change.

Something ONLY you can change.

Unforgiveness.

Yep. That one itty bitty pesky little thing you keep at the back of your heart closet might be the culprit. Or maybe you keep it out on display, like a coffee table book.

Whatever it looks like, unforgiveness is like a mold that needs to be dealt with until there isn't a spore of it left.

Because until you pull it out for inspection, look it squarely in the face and deal with it, it may be the one ugly thing standing in the way of your optimal mental, physical, and spiritual wellness.

This issue isn't confined to the blessings of faith posture. It's something the medical community acknowledges as a problem too.

No wonder Jesus told us we had better forgive others in order to receive forgiveness ourselves.

He is often that small whisper in the wind.

God talks to us far more than we realize and perhaps far more than we are willing to acknowledge.

We were wired for supernatural hearing!

And yet, so many of us feel we aren't hearing well. We generally blame ourselves, or chalk up our percieved inability to something God meant for others.

Those are LIES!

You will want to listen in to today's conversation with the dynamic Andrea Marie to be inspired!

God IS talking to you. Are you really listening?

Andrea Marie is a homeschooling mom of four. She has worked with many women encouraging and equipping them to plant their identity firmly in Christ and walk in the freedom given them. Andrea and her family recently relocated to the Kansas City area because God told them to! She loves talking about the spiritually deep things of the Lord and walking in obedience to His calling.

Color Speak, Season 3, Episode 8 with Terri Sullivant; What's Going on in the Church?

Tue, 14 Nov 2023 07:00:00 -0600

We've been lied to.

Not just by our goverment agencies and health care providers, ETC., but by the church that is supposed to foster in us a close relationship with the One and Only Redeemer of the human race, Jesus Christ.

If you are just now waking up to the truth of this, our discussion today will make sense. For those that don't get it yet and are perfectly content with the way the church at large is operating, know we have only begun to broach the subject here.

Regardless, at some point we will all see in the light that has been turned on for exposure to what God can not tolerate.

Today my friend Terri Sullivant gives some practical advice for navigating the humanness of the church. Always practical, Terri discusses the realities of living in a broken world as it relates to our gatherings.

Coming together in worship is always worth the risk of running up against uncomfortable issues. That having been said, if we understand the Holy Spirit as our guide and endeavor to grow a relationship with Him without interference, the humans that have previously been filters or even idols in God's place, no longer matter and their own brokenessness is unable to hurt us.

We still need guides in life to assist us in our reasoning, but none should come before our personal, intimate encounters with our Jesus.

Color Speak, Season 3, Episode 7 LIVE AGAIN! with Diana Larkin, Blogger and Host of A Watchman's Journal

Tue, 07 Nov 2023 19:00:00 -0600

God still speaks to His people through His prophets.

Why wouldn't he? It's a lie of the enemy that keeps us from believing this and from taking heart through His messaging in all forms.

After all, what kind of God would we have if he wasn't constantly communicating with us? Encouraging us?

C'mon!

Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.

Don't believe it? Check out Amos 3:7.

That is for today.

And today is so very exciting!

COLOR SPEAK, Season 3, Episode 6, with Lily Meschi, Director Iran Alive Ministries

Tue, 10 Oct 2023 20:00:00 -0500

Around the world, many men, women, and children are fighting for the basic rights we take for granted, such as the ability to worship freely. Nowhere is this more true than in the country of Iran, where to follow Christ could cost one her life.

And yet, Iranian women are believing Jesus. Iranian women are among the most brave women on the planet. Really.

I've interviewed a few now and I am always impressed with their courage, and, in equal measure, lamentably disappointed with our general lack of it in comparison.

For crying out loud, we care too much what people think. I can't imagine the majority of us laying our lives down for the right to do anything. Maybe I am being too harsh, but we've prefered to fill our heads and devices with shopping than to research what is really going on in the world. We have all sorts of distractions, and excuses for not taking a stand against darkness. And heaven forbid we get serious on social media.

We have our kids to think of, after all. Meals to plan. Deadlines to meet.

But things are changing. The world demands our attention. Good must prevail over evil. God's plan is partnership. We were made for such a time as this.

Lily Meschi, is a great role model for us.

She speaks out on the corrupt practices of arranged marriages of young women and older men in the Middle East, amongst other norms in their societies. She says after coming to Christ, the Lord set her free from her abusive marriage, and she takes pride in working at Iran Alive Ministries, where she is able to speak about cultural dispositions such as arranged marriages and the strong grip of abusive male domination in the culture.

Lily is the Director of Partners Relations for Iran Alive Ministries, which utilizes satellite TV to broadcast Christian programming to a potential audience of 130 million in Iran and the Middle East. It is the most watched Christian channel in the world and the #6th most watched among secular audiences.

Wrap your minds around those numbers. This is a great spiritual awakening!

The world is starved for Jesus. Iran is no exception. What Iran needs is not a political revolution, but a spiritual awakening and internal revolution to change the Islamic culture that has been ingrained in that country for so long.

The entire globe needs a spiritual awakening.

And God has not lost sight of any of us.

COLOR SPEAK, Season 3, Episode 4, Transforming Iran, with Lana Silk

Mon, 24 Jul 2023 13:00:00 -0500

You can't be in ministry for our God if you aren't willing to spend time with Him first.

So, I spent time with Him. I took my sorry, burnt-out, self-pitying self and rested in company with Jesus, hearing what he had to say to me. Then, after months of re-grouping (or rehabilitation, lol), He put me in touch with Lana Silk, CEO of Transform Iran.

I knew before I heard from Lana in this interview that she would have a powerful message.

She doesn't disappoint because Jesus doesn't disaapoint.

What happens around the world affects us all. What happens in Iran, specifically, is our business too.

I hope you will listen in to our conversation today to gain fascinating insight on this remarkable country and what remarkable people who love Jesus are doing to spread the Good News.

We are now on YouTube and Rumble:

CEO of Transform Iran, Lana Silk, has a unique, personal perspective and vision for advancing the global Kingdom of God—specifically, starting in Iran, one of the most persecuted nations on earth, where she was born.

Christ followers in Iran and other areas of the Middle East currently face serious persecution. Today, with a 99.6% Muslim population, Iran is not a safe place for Christian nationals and refugees—especially considering these individuals are directly stripped of their right to freely practice their faith or speak Jesus’ name in the open. Despite this persecution, hunger for the Gospel has continued to grow as Iranians and refugees have personal encounters with Christ or stumble upon other Christians who are boldly proclaiming the Good News.

Transform Iran supports Christian refugees in the Middle East and persecuted Christians in Iran through practical and pastoral means. This profound organization is on a mission to reach the those in Iran with the Gospel message and aid persecuted Christians as they place their faith in Christ and seek to spread his name throughout the nation. The ministry has planted churches in over 50 cities in Iran, trained and mentored thousands of ministry leaders behind closed doors and aided those seeking asylum. With great risk comes great responsibility, therefore, the organization carefully communicates with these individuals, providing practical aid, support and prayer to believers.

Color Speak Season 3, Episode 3, Abandoning Everything to Follow Jesus, with Katie Lacadie

Fri, 27 Jan 2023 00:00:00 -0600

How far would you be willing to go if you heard Jesus say, "Follow Me"?

How well do you hear the voice of God?

Well enough to trust the Holy Spirit's instructions?

Our Lord doesn't ask us to do things that are hard because He derives any sort of pleasure in torturing us or making us suffer. Anything he asks us to do is not only for our benefit, it's ultimately for our joy.

What a concept.

Today's guest gave up what most of us couldn't. Over and over again. Over and over again she took action at His direction.

I don't know that I could have done what Katie did.

What about you?

How far are you willing to go when the Holy Spirit tells you to go?

Far enough to trust Him without reservation?

Far enough to experience more for the Kingdom than you could have imagined?

Color Speak, Season 3, Episode 2, Hot for History with Deanna Falchook

Fri, 20 Jan 2023 00:00:00 -0600

I've always been hot for history.

We need to know our past to understand our present and plan for our future.

If we don't know our history, we are doomed to repeat the ugly parts of it.

And miss out on the good majority of it.

The past matters as much as the future does and it's all so exciting! It allows us to live fully present in this moment with anticipation and wonder, equipped for the extraordinary calling on our lives.

I think God is always blowing our minds to transform them.

That means He is always doing something radical as He illuminates our paths for us.

Enter Deanna Falchook. She's taken her own story of decree and destiny public to encourage and delight you, and frankly, what God is doing there is nothing short of supernatural.

If you are interested in the importance of ancestry and family land, miracles and angels and all things, well, Godly sweet, listen in. Soon, Deanna will have you thinking of your own Milk and Honey Land.

"Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me. I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, 'My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please. '" Isaiah 46:9-10

Color Speak, Season 3, Episode 1, An Iranian Woman's Call to Courage

Fri, 13 Jan 2023 00:00:00 -0600

COLOR SPEAK is a platform where we share stories of the glory of our God—it's a place to highlight His signs and wonders and miraculous healings; where we can be encouraged in all seasons to be all we were designed to be.

But here’s the disclaimer. To claim what is ours requires courage. And a desire to pursue truth. This is inherent in our quest to bring the Kingdom to greater light here on earth.

With the way things are in the world, there has never been a better time to address the element of bravery in our call to destiny. We were made for such a time as this!

Since our first episode aired in December of 2020, the world has changed a little bit. Actually, it seems it has tilted off its axis.

But we are called to participate in this great time of transformation and renewal bravely and joyfully and I know of no better way to kick off this third season than to hear from our guest today.

Tanin (that isn't her real name) was an Iranian Muslim who endured great suffering and hardship on her path to truth. She was born and raised in the southern part of Iran to a middle-class family who provided her many advantages but couldn’t shield her, or themselves, from the ravages of war.

Tanin was just nine years old when bombs began to fall on her neighborhood and her family was forced to abandon their belongings and flee their home. It was then that Tanin was catapulted into a new world that included poverty and horror along a path littered with the bodies of her neighbors.

At the age of 18, she witnessed the execution of her best friend for a faith that wasn’t Islam, as well as many other friends and friends' children who met the same fate on the gallows.

Even so, that didn’t keep Tanin from speaking out.

She was jailed twice for being rebellious to the government.

She survived.

As she survived being handed over to an older man—an American citizen—by her grandfather in an arranged marriage.

After years of abuse, she found herself standing on a bridge in downtown Kansas City one night to take her own life. She didn’t jump. She ended up in a Christian church.

Today we will hear the story of the bravest woman I know.

We would all do well to follow Tanin's example of courage. As she so aptly puts it, inaction is action.

Let the People Speak with New York Times Bestselling Author, Francine Rivers; Season 2, Episode 33

Fri, 02 Dec 2022 00:00:00 -0600

When you are looking for someone to step up to get a job done, ask the busiest person you know.

Enter Francine Rivers, a New York Times bestselling and multi-award-winning author and screenwriter who has sold over three million copies of her novels worldwide which have been translated into more than 30 different languages.

Francine has received countless honors--too many to mention here, but suffice it to say she is amazing.

Equally impressive is the way she balances so many endeavors for the Kingdom, not the least of which is care for her husband, Rick, who has Parkinson's disease. In addition to keeping her marriage a priority, Francine serves on Redeeming Love Foundation's board to support ministries who work with sex-trafficked survivors, leads small groups to encourage others in writing and faith and now, she is tackling the abortion issue.

And she's not stepping down from this. Her blog post entitled, Let the People Speak can be found on her FaceBook page and is something she wrote in response to her local paper's refusal to publish her pro-life letter.

Wherever you are on the issue of abortion, you need to listen in today.

What you hear may surprise you.

Color Speak Season 2, Episode 32, Writing for Kingdom Impact with Missy Maxwell Whorton

Wed, 09 Nov 2022 17:00:00 -0600

When you understand you walk in authority, you choose higher thoughts.

You let go of the ones that don't serve you.

You know them. Those that rob you of your identity and keep you from your destiny.

Why then, would you choose to partner with what robs you of what is yours?

We all do it sometimes. We all align with what our guest today calls lower thoughts. But remember, what we choose to focus on expands. We manifest reality with our thoughts.

Redemptive communication is one way to do this and today's guest is also a writing coach who is taking authors to a new level. Goodness, I am so excited about this.

We cover a lot of topics today under the direction of the Holy Spirit--all of them designed to help you elevate to your destiny.

You needn't settle for anything less.

Color Speak, Season 2, Episode 28, Religion and Politics are in Style, with Sierra Nelson

Fri, 30 Sep 2022 00:00:00 -0500

Once upon a time it was considered respectful to keep silent on matters of religion and politics.

Because once upon a time in this country, while we didn't all agree on political matters, we were all on the same page regarding our religion.

Basically.

It was just a matter of denomination, not salvation.

Like it or not, once upon a time, we were a Christian nation, favored by God.

There's no point arguing this because the proof is irrefutable. It's in the fruit.

We've had some dark times but we've been blessed.

However, in June 2007, President Barak Obama told CBS, "Whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation -- at least, not just. We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, and a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers." In April 2009, Obama stated at a press conference in Turkey that we Americans "do not consider ourselves a Christian nation, or a Muslim nation, but rather, a nation of citizens who are, uh, bound by a set of values."

He spoke on behalf of our country, declaring for believers from sea to shining sea.

Only, he didn't declare for me, and maybe, he didn't declare for you either.

I say we ARE a nation of CHRISTIANS.

If the silent majority would speak up, the obnoxiously loud minority wouldn't have such an easy time being heard.

Maybe we'd have a better time hearing if we did a better job showing up.

And showing off--what a real follower of Jesus looks like.

A real follower of Jesus isn't afraid to speak on His behalf. A real follower knows the WORD.

Today, please be encouraged by a beautiful woman and event stylist who not only knows style, she knows TRUTH and isn't afraid to declare it.

Please, won't you join us? There's never been a better time to talk religion and politics because you can't have one without the other.

Religion and politics are definitely in style.

For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. ~ 2 Chronicles 16:9

Color Speak Season 2, Episode 27, Only God Could Write This Love Story, with Jill Jenkins

Thu, 15 Sep 2022 11:00:00 -0500

Trauma doesn't have to define you. It doesn't have to keep you sidelined from your identity either.

It may not seem like it in the moment, but trauma can be resolved to hope and beauty and so much more--through faith in the Lord of the Universe.

No, its effects may not be entirely eradicated. The hurt may never go away.

However, there is clarity.

And purpose.

And hope for a better day.

Jesus truly wants to help you.

Sometimes, he's screaming in the dark for you.

She is someone who knows firsthand the ramifications of trauma, and is now using her own valuable lessons learned to help others find hope in the darkness and destiny through the pain.

Color Speak, Season 2, Episode 24, Believing is Logical, with Lynn Baber

Fri, 26 Aug 2022 16:00:00 -0500

The Lord knows exactly how to motivate us.

He wires us with hearts for activities and interests which set us on our path to Him and nuture in us a love for the world around us.

Through horses, Lynn found her purpose, which not only fostered a deeper relationship with God, it allowed her to minister to others.

Because our God is all about creativity and allegory and countless other good and mysterious qualities, He wires us to love different aspects of who He is.

Take horses for example. Lynn is an expert on the subject. God is an expert on the subject. Wait until you hear her perspective about these beautiful creatures!

As well as about so many other topics we cover today, when we were led to frank discussion by the Holy Spirit.

Why do we believe what we believe?

And could a horse lead us to the truth?

Color Speak, Season 2, Episode 23, Prayer as Partnership with Emily--A Discussion

Mon, 22 Aug 2022 10:00:00 -0500

What if we looked at prayer as partnership instead of one-way discussion?

It seems so simple, but we have a few things to work out when it comes to how we view our communication with God and it's a lot more complex than we have time for here.

In full disclosure, today you will hear a discussion rather than an "episode".

Today Emily and I sit down to finish a conversation that began at church just a few hours earlier.

If you don't expect much from us, you might find something to take away from listening in, lol.

Color Speak, Season 2, Episode 22, Searching for Good in the Bombing of US AIR Flight 629, with Marian Poepplemeyer

Fri, 12 Aug 2022 00:00:00 -0500

What happens when two women get together to talk about the commercial plane crashes that claimed the lives of their fathers?

God happens.

Despite the evil around us. TO SPITE the evil around us.

We've said it before and we'll keep saying it. Your greatest source of pain can be your greatest platform. From that vantage point you can lend a hand up to another. From that vantage point, you can see the ways in which you've been given a hand up.

"Yeah, right," you might say. "Where was he when...?" Fill in the blank.

Perhaps you need to take another look.

That hand is always there. Look around. Look up. For heaven's sake, just look!

And listen in to our discussion today for the evidence Marian Poeppelmeyer found when searching for the father she never had an opportunity to know. He was killed in the airborne bombing of US AIR Flight 629 just after take off from Denver's Stapleton International Airport in 1955.

Did you know about this? It's surprising to learn most Americans have no idea this sabotage happened. Most don't know of this loss of life over our country. And most people have no idea around 500 courageous Americans took to the beet fields north of Denver in November of 1955 to search for survivors and to lend a hand.

It's what Americans do.

It's what God does.

***

Marian Poeppelmeyer published FINDING MY FATHER: Beyond Tragedy, Through Trauma, and Into Freedom in 2019. Based on a true story, she recounts what happened 66 years ago on November 1, 1955, when her father was killed in the first commercial plane bombing over U.S. soil.

A mother of two grown children, a grandchild, and a faithful husband, she resides in Columbus, Ohio, and enjoys a cup of coffee with friends.

Marian recently returned from a long road trip to the Denver area where she was able to inspire others at town hall meetings, including some first responders on the scene all those years ago.

Color Speak, Season 2, Episode 21, Church Hurt is Real, with Chrystal Gilkey

Fri, 29 Jul 2022 00:00:00 -0500

If you've been through it, you were amazed how much it hurt.

If you've not been through it, you've been amazed how much it hurt.

Church hurt is real and it's time we acknowledge it. Better than we've done in the past. It isn't limited to well publized sexual abuse but includes all manner of human sin, from the effects of pride and selfishness, to judgment and hypocrisy, and the list goes on.

Do a Google search on the topic and you'll find the former. Pages and pages of it.

But there is so much more there and it all keeps people away from the One who came to save us from it!

It's unfortunate Jesus is sometimes evaluated through what humans have done and continue to do.

We need to do better.

And we need each other to do it.

Color Speak, Season 2, Episode 19, Pain as Purpose with Shane Svorec

Fri, 15 Jul 2022 00:00:00 -0500

Life is supposed to be an adventure. It's supposed to be filled with wonder.

It's supposed to fulfill a purpose.

Are you living yours this way?

It might require surrender.

In spite of the pain. There is always that.

But pain is never suffered in vain. It can be our greatest platform.

There can be beauty there.

It's a choice.

It's perspective.

It's trust.

Gravel roads and summer highways, wildflowers and blankets of green with blue skies and cotton clouds and sunshine to warm the skin...

Ah, the beauty of a road trip. Especially now.

Getting out of our comfort zone into new places for perspective is fresh air.

Fresh focus helps us see our pain differently.

So today, let’s grab our to-go coffees, sit down, and buckle ourselves in for a ride. Specifically, on the backseat of a VW bus. Like going on a road trip with a good friend and a great playlist, today our guest will help us color our world a little differently.

Today we will hone our perspective.

Today we will enjoy the ride.

Color Speak Season 2, Episode 18, The Call to Courage with J. M. Huxley

Fri, 01 Jul 2022 00:00:00 -0500

I think sometimes we forget we are called to courage.

Not just faith, not just trust, but courage. And though the word courage is a noun, it implies action.

Faith without action is like a body without spirit, James, the brother of Jesus reminds us.

Without courage, our faith is meaningless.

Courage is a commandment.

Courage is color.

If our God is light, and light produces color, color testifies.

To so many things.

Today, it's courage. God put it on my heart to talk about it, and I hope I am able to encourage you to it.

It's time to kick things up a notch.

Jesus doesn’t need me to be courageous. But if I don’t answer his calls on my life, He will find someone else willing.

And I will have missed my opportunity to be as worthy as those who've spoken and stood up for Him in all matters. I will have missed the chance to partner with Him here on earth.

Moreover, if I reduce my God to one who is unwilling or worse, incapable, of coming to my defense in ALL situations where I represent Him, I have become idolatrous. I have reduced the God of the universe to impotence!

He's calling His children to be courageous in this hour. He's gathering His troops for His glory days.

Are you willing to partner with Him?

Are you willing to be courageous?

This title really catches you off guard, doesn't it? The Devil in Pew Number Seven, a New York Times Bestseller, is a story you won't want to miss. It's horrific. But it's all about forgiveness.

Color Speak Season 2, Episode 16, Taking Thoughts Captive for Wellness, with PA Allison Rollston

Thu, 09 Jun 2022 11:00:00 -0500

Are you speaking life over yourself, or is it death?

Are you thinking thoughts of wellness, or destruction?

You can't have it both ways.

Our thoughts and words carry power. We direct our present and future by what we choose to think and say.

That's right, what we choose for ourselves matters.

We must be intentional with our thoughts my friends. We must walk in the power that's been given us and that happens by talking back to negative thoughts and by taking them captive. They aren't life.

We must think on the promises of God, the blessings over our lives. We must focus on and live in His love. This is what having the mind of Christ is all about.

The mind of Christ is love. And life.

It's high time we think it, believe it, and speak it.

What we think on grows.

We can affirm and expand good by keeping our focus where it should be.

When we focus our minds on the enemy's plans, we become victims. When we focus on our minds on our Savior's plans for us--the ones he paid for with his blood, we are victorious!

For the Love, let's renew our minds on Jesus.

***

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. ~ John 4:18

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. ~ Romans 12:2

Color Speak, Season 2, Episode 14, Inner Healing RESET with Anna Moore

Fri, 27 May 2022 00:00:00 -0500

Those buzz words are back again:

Inner.

Healing.

When you hear them used together, do they exite you or worry you? Do they cause you anticipation or consternation?

Maybe they cause you to roll your eyes to the back of your head. Maybe you dismiss them as phooey and nonsense.

If the latter is true, you may be missing an opportunity to connect deeply with the Holy Spirit.

We've all been hurt in MANY places, intentionally and unintentionally. Those hurts keep us from enjoying the work of the Lord in our lives.

BUT, there is a deep place you can access to be with your healing Savior. There is a revelation there for restoration with Jesus.

Sometimes you can access this connection on your own. Other times you really need another person or a couple of people to help you move through that process.

Today will be a great day to listen in!

Color Speak, Season 2, Episode 13, Why Not Homeschool? Reflections on the End of a Season

Wed, 11 May 2022 14:00:00 -0500

Last week Kirk Cameron released a documentary entitled The Homeschool Awakening for the purposes of encouraging parents to take control of the lives and destinies of their kids.

Maybe you have been thinking of doing that.

Maybe you already are teaching your kids at home.

Perhaps you have never considered such a thing but with the state of things, you want to hear what I have to say on the matter.

Or, you could have nothing else to do and you know God always stops down here so you'll have a listen.

Regardless, you are probably greatly concerned about where our future is headed, what with the lousy curriculum many public schools choose to use and the agendas many people who are supposed to care about the welfare of children are pushing.

My husband and I chose to homeschool in 2005, when it was way weirder than it is now. Actually, I think most people are begining to come around to the idea in 2022. It really isn't so weird anymore, for so many reasons.

But tonight is the end of our chapter. Along with hundreds of others in the Kansas City area who chose to educate their children at home, we will graduate our youngest daughter from high school. What began at home with her siblings led to many classes at several different academies and our local community college, but as far as the record shows, Gracie was home schooled and home grown.

Our oldest son, Taylor, is 33 now, so we've been graduating kids for a decade and a half. Not all were schooled at home. Three attended public school. One excusively. Five attended private school. None exclusively. The last two were strictly homeschooled. It was a process.

It seemed to take a while.

Kids got married. Grandchildren arrived. Kevin and I got older. We had ups and downs. But it was mostly good.

So, as I wrap up my own schooling experience, I got to thinking, it might be a good time to encourage you to choose to yours, if you can.

I'm not an advocate for doing anything a certain way, let me disclaim. I am an advocate for doing what is best for your family and for what fosters a closeness with Jesus.

I realize not every person is in a position to tackle their child’s education. But if you could, why not?

I will add that I did not address all of the wonderful resources, curriculum, and support available to those who are interested in this episode. Just know, if you are called to do this, our God will not only equip you, he will delight you.

As with anything, if it is something God wants you to do, and you give it your best, you cannot fail!

Color Speak, Season 2, Episode 12, The Yellow Brain: What Medical Science Confirms Regarding God and Your Mind

Fri, 22 Apr 2022 14:00:00 -0500

Prayer and meditation can cause our brains to be yellow.

That's a good thing.

Red is good too. Another good color for the brain.

Our wellness can be found in color.

The color of our brains is linked to our proximity to God. Talking to Him and meditating on His Word can make us colorfully well.

We live in exciting, colorful times, because medical science is now able to confirm what Believers have known for centuries--that our health is contingent upon our prayer life and meditation with God.

The colors prove it, we just didn't know this until recently.

The source of all good health is God and when we spend time with Him, we change colors! Our brain does anyway. It turns yellow, and really, doesn't this make perfect sense? C'mon! Moses came down from a mountain GLOWING after spending time with the Creator.

All I can really say is, wow. Just. Wow. You are going to want to listen to what our guest has to say today.

We talk about a joyful heart being the best medicine, and about other things too that will paint your world, like the importance of Vitamin D, which I am personally on a crusade to get the word out about.

I am so excited to have Physician Assistant Allison Rolston with us, I have asked her to come back and talk with me once a month, here on COLOR SPEAK.

That's right, every FOURTH FRIDAY Allison will be with us to talk about The Holy Spirit and our health!

These are exciting times, indeed. We can be so encouraged!

Because if we can change our minds, we can change our world.

It all starts with meeting with Jesus for regular prayer and meditation. That's were we find the transformation of our minds which produce the colors of good health.

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. ~ Romans 12:2

Be renewed in the spirit of your minds. ~ Ephesians 4:23

Put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. ~ Colossians 3:10

Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus. ~ Philippians 2:5

My people perish for a lack of knowledge. ~ Hosea 4:6

Finally, sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. ~ Philippians 4:8

Allison Rolston has been a Physician Assistant in Primary Care for almost 23 years and has been married to a doctor for 28 years. Allison has a specialist interest in the mind-gut-immune system connection whose goal is to see her patients healed in mind, body, and spirit. She is the perfect person to combine wholistic teaching and medical science because Allison walks in and with the Holy Spirit. I am thrilled to be able to share her with you all today!

Color Speak, Season 2, Episode 11, We All Need Inner Healing, with Lynn Eldridge

Wed, 06 Apr 2022 21:00:00 -0500

You need inner healing.

We all do.

If you don't know what inner healing is, let me tell you, inner and healing are buzzwords right now for a reason.

A lot of people are talking about inner healing because a lot of people are beginning to realize that the only way to be released from the torment of all kinds of suffering is to get some healing done in the deepest parts of us.

The way to health and wellbeing starts on the inside.

Where the Spirit of God lives.

If we will allow Him access to every part of us, he can heal every part of us.

Our God wants to set us free from everything that comes against us.

EVERYTHING.

The past, the present, even the future.

Healing is ours to choose. We must be willing.

You will want to listen in today, because our guest has an amazing story of rescue and inner healing by Jesus, the Only One who can do what He can do.

Color Speak, Season 2, Episode 10, How to Escape to God, with Peggy Adams

Sat, 02 Apr 2022 11:00:00 -0500

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color.

Color is where you’ll find God.

Color is God.

It’s his love for you.

We know light is what makes color happen.

Color is a product of light. So, if God IS light, that means color testifies!

Have you ever thought of color this way?

Color celebrates what God has done from the beginning, what He is still doing.

Color cheers us on!

It represents so much. It symbolizes a Father’s love for his children. It represents a Savior’s promises. It stands for the Spirit at work in us.

Color illustrates our God’s peace too.

If you are struggling right now with all that is happening in the world, you are in the right place today.

Our God wants you to come to Him for rest and reassurance.

He is waiting for you in the Secret Place.

In His shadow of protection, there is comfort and protection. Despite the evil, pain, and sadness of the world, our God offers a place of rescue and peace.

A place of joy.

Fear, anxiety, and pain are not from Him. He is our refuge from such.

Today, let’s address the very large elephant that’s charged into every room, because no matter where you are in your faith, you’ve been trying to push that beast out of the way and it seems you’ve no strength for it most days.

How well I know what you are going through my sweet friend.

On top of all of the ugliness in the world, it seems each of us has had our own battles ramped up as never before.

What on earth is God doing, if He says He has the best in mind for us?

We will find out in the Secret Place.

If you don't know what that is, you should listen in today.

Psalm 91:1

She who dwells in the secret place of the Most High, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, he is my refuge and my FORTRESS, my God, in Him I will trust.

Psalm 27

...One thing I have desired of the LORD, that will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in His temple.

For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; in the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me;

He shall set me high upon a rock.

And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me; Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle;

I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD. Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice! Have mercy upon me and answer me...

I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

Wait on the LORD;

Be of good courage,

And He shall strengthen your heart;

Wait, I say, on the LORD!

Color Speak, Season 2, Episode 9, Peace and Promise in These Times, with LaTrice Magee

Thu, 17 Mar 2022 10:00:00 -0500

It's at the top of every human's list, on every praying person's heart.

Peace.

Is it even possible on this earth?

The good news is, peace is possible, even as wars rage against us and enemies come to devour our flesh. Even now.

It's our promise. One of many.

But.

We are told we will have trouble too. Trouble is right there alongside peace. Parallel to it, an alternate reality.

Still, it's possible to access it.

If you follow Jesus.

It's impossible to know it outside of knowing Him. Just like the old bumper stickers that say, "No Jesus, No Peace; Know Jesus, Know Peace," the only way to experience it in the wait is to pursue it.

Expect it.

In Jesus.

Only in Jesus.

No matter what your wait looks like, there is the promise of peace and color there. Things are coming to life and blooming, my friend. No matter how things look in the wait through winter.

I know you will take encouragement from my beautiful friend LaTrice Magee, who has found peace in fire! And boy, is she on fire!

Today we celebrate what peace looks like in all seasons. In the meanwhile, let's take heart. Our Jesus has overcome the world and His spring is on the way to us, where there is joyful peace.

In wild color!

***

The Lord is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?

When the wicked advance against me
to devour me,
it is my enemies and my foes
who will stumble and fall.

Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then I will be confident.

Psalm 27:1-3

***

LaTrice Magee is a lover of Truth (God's Word) and people. "I LOVE people deeply and sincerely. I'm passionate about encouraging and spurring others on to good works. Moved by the 'one.' The 'one' that's been overlooked, excluded, given up on, counted out. The "one" that's dying on the inside but appears alive & well on the outside. The 'one' that's been bruised, crushed, hurt, wounded and feeling abandoned, hopeless and alone. The 'one' that's wandered away from the Truth and desperately needs life to be spoken back into you. The 'one' that everyone visibly sees, but feels internally unseen. Matthew 18:12 tells us Jesus leaves the 99 and goes after the 'one.'"

LaTrice Magee has been married to her husband for 10 1/2 years and we has 4 children, ages 8,7,4 and 2!

Color Speak, Season 2, Episode 8, Risking My Life to Believe God's Promise, with Natalie Valcarcel

Fri, 11 Mar 2022 00:00:00 -0600

How far would you be willing to go to believe a promise God made to you?

Would you be willing to suffer, even when presented with an opportunity to stop it?

Would you be willing to risk your life, when your doctors are telling you not to?

Natalie Valcarcel understood the blessing spoken over her well enough to exhibit extraordinary commitment to her God and incredible courage under fire.

Year after year after year.

I know, I often say this, but truly, this episode could change your life.

And your color.

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color.

Color is where you’ll find God.

Color is God.

It’s his love for you.

And a reminder of His Promises. All of them.

Wed, 02 Mar 2022 22:00:00 -0600

You don't have to be passionate about what you do.

You just have to be passionate about why you do it.

Passion perspective is everything.

Live your color!

Make no mistake about it, the way you were wired puts you in a position to add something to the planet only you can. Passion enables you to do it.

But here's the thing, this doesn't mean you have to be passionate about the what.

You just have to be passionate about the why.

And you don't have to be a business owner to find value and encouragement from the radiant Carrie Wilkerson, author of The Barefoot Executive, today.

She has some terrific news to motivate you on to your next, passionate step.

Color Speak, Season 2, Episode 6, Words Carry Life and Death: The Truth About Redeeming Love, with Emily and Sarah

Fri, 25 Feb 2022 16:00:00 -0600

We aren't showing the love well.

Jesus told us we will know him by our love for one another. If we love Him first, we can't help but love others well.

But we aren't loving well. We can do better.

There's an epidemic in the church right now. People are leaving it in droves. Why?

There are a number of reasons for this but the biggest is people aren't reading their Bibles anymore. They don't believe what is said on the pages.

They don't believe there is sanctuary and protection in the pews. They don't feel the love.

If God is light and color is produced by light, color is love. Color is goodness, and goodness, we ought to be loving better. We ought to be loving in outrageous color.

Enough to serve.

Enough to give.

Enough to speak truth.

Enought to keep our mouths shut.

Yeah, this last one is a tough one. Loving means not gossiping. It means holding our grievances, and our tongues, publically.

This includes airing slander about our believing sisters on podcasts.

Yeah, this is happening. Specifically, to New York Times Best Selling Author, Francine Rivers.

Yeah, we go there today. Specifically, we talk about what happens when Christian women tear each other down on platforms.

Remember what the Bible says about platforms. If your cover is dusty, I'll tell you. It says we should tear them down.

God doesn't need us to fight for him by fighting with our Christian sisters.

Sometimes the best way to glorify him is to keep our mouths shut and get off our platforms.

Because what we say carries life or it carries death.

The world will know Jesus by our love for them, and for each other.

We need to do better.

We need to speak words of life, not death.

By this everyone will know you are my disciples, if you have love for one another~Jesus

Fri, 11 Feb 2022 00:00:00 -0600

Her art is hanging on gallery walls and in private homes around the world.

There is something holy about it. Honestly.

Each prayed-over piece proclaims the joy found in working with God.

Each causes the heart to sing in a variety of heavenly hues, each a gift providing glimpses of a Creator who loves us in brilliant color.

Piper Bridwell has found her dynamic purpose, brushing good across canvas as the Master Painter guides her to revelations of His glory.

Oh, to celebrate life with color!

Color is God.

It's His love for you. His adoration, His devotion, His promise, and so much more. Really, it's beyond our ability to comprehend.

If light is what produces color and God is light, color testitfies.

Color is truth.

Color celebrates what God has done from the beginning, what He is still doing.

I think color is one of the greatest gifts our Creator has given us.

I hope you'll be filled with joy--color--when you listen in today.

Xoxo

Color Speak, Season 2, Episode 4, God is Way Cooler Than Anyone Said, with Elizabeth Bristol

Fri, 04 Feb 2022 00:00:00 -0600

Elizabeth traveled the globe looking for God.

She just didn't know it at the time.

She needed healing from brokenness and clarity for ponderings. She craved fulfillment, but most of all, she just wanted to be happy.

At twenty-six she had peered inside a smoking volcano, patted a silverback gorilla in the jungle, and slept under the African skies. Not long after that she'd sailed off to the Carribbean seas and then moved from Cape Cod to Alaska. Along the way, Elizabeth found the adventure she was looking for.

It was more than she'd imagined.

God was more than she'd imagined.

He was way cooler than anyone said.

And more colorful.

There is so much more beyond what we can see.

There is so much right in front of our eyes!

This discussion is real and raw and so full of joy, but there are tears too.

Someone needs to hear this.

Color Speak, Season 2, Episode 3, Balancing Contentment with Desire for Healing, with Debbie Oelke

Fri, 28 Jan 2022 00:00:00 -0600

Nothing can stop a woman of God. Not even a wheelchair.

The Light shines there too, illuminating purpose.

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color.

Color is where you’ll find God.

Color is God.

It’s his love for you.

We know light is what makes color happen.

Color is a product of light. So, if God IS Light, that means color testifies!

Have you ever thought of color this way?

Color celebrates what God has done from the beginning, what He is still doing.

We can be encouraged to live our lives to the fullest, knowing we have support from the other side cheering us on. We need only pay attention to be empowered on our journeys.

There is so much more beyond what we can see. There is so much right in front of our eyes!
He never promised this would be easy.

But there really is light for our effort. Always. When we experience this, we are not only compelled to share this truth with others, we are empowered on our journeys.

Our pain has purpose.

Our encounters with God serve others.

Our stories give the Spirit opportunity to work.

Because there is triumph over struggle and victory over despair and there is a love that can heal all brokenness and we need to talk about these things.

Today we have the honor of hearing from a woman who learned to balance her desire for healing with finding contentment apart from it.

Debbie learned to stand in the wait, even from a wheelchair.

Even when her healing didn't come.

Which is why her soon to be released book is entitled: I’m Still Standing: Balancing Contentment with Desire for Healing.

Debbie’s story of maintaining hope in the face of a sudden disability is one that resonates with all of us. Of course she had questions about the Lord’s purposes. Naturally, she cried. A lot.

But faith taught her to cope with many sudden losses in her life.

Faith allowed her to celebrate the Lord’s provision in spite of them.

Faith caused her to be refined by her disability.

To prevail.

We can all take courage from the perspective of a wheelchair. There, God does some of His best work.

***
In 1999, at the age of 25, Debbie was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. She says life was basically normal until the age of 43. In 1017, she experienced a major MS exacerbation, leading to the use of a cane, then a walker, and now a wheelchair. A mom, former school social work, and now a soon-to-be published author, Debbie has a lot to encourage us with today.

Verses referenced:

2 Corinthians 4:16-18~That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.

Color Speak, Season 2, Episode 2, with New York Times Bestselling Author, Francine Rivers

Fri, 21 Jan 2022 00:00:00 -0600

Francine Rivers is one of the most authentic people I've ever have the pleasure to talk with.

She is real, bold, fearless, and unapologetic when it comes to telling her stories. But mostly, she is full of love.

Which is why her stories are full of the Good News of Jesus!

We all need stories of redemption.

So, today we talk about color in this way.

Didn't you know redemption is colorful?

We know light is what makes color happen.

Light is where you’ll find truth. Truth, then, is where you’ll find color.

And color is where you’ll find God.

Color is God.

It’s his love for you. It's unconditional.

And redemptive.

Color reminds.

It cheers us on.

You see, God never asks us to believe him color-blindly. He gives us proof of his love and devotion to us, even when we choose not to see it.

Once we come to terms with this, our limits are limitless.

Our encounters with God serve others.

Our stories give the Spirit opportunity to work.

There is always redemption as a choice. It’s in the way we choose to write our stories, from what we've been given to work with, and from what we've chosen for ourselves too.

There really is triumph over struggle and victory over pain and a love that can heal all brokenness.

ALL of it.

Shame keeps us from understanding the power of love.

And shame is the farthest thing from God and the Redeeming Love He offers us.

Francine is an extraordinary storyteller of redemption, so, you're really going to like this episode.

Color Speak, Season 2, Episode 1, Wedding Manners: The Truth, with Rachel Snyder

Fri, 07 Jan 2022 00:00:00 -0600

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color.

Color is where you’ll find God.

Color is God.

It’s his love for you.

We know light is what makes color happen.

Color is a product of light. So, if God IS light, that means color is God too! The color we see in the world is a reflection of his goodness.

Have you ever thought of color this way?

And get this, the colors we see here on earth aren’t even close to what we will see in heaven. God has not only given us a glimpse of what awaits us, but what we can experience to a degree here on earth is highlighted this way. In this way, color represents so much.

We can be encouraged to live our lives to the fullest, knowing we have support from the other side cheering us on, IN COLOR!

We need only pay attention to be empowered on our journeys.

COLOR SPEAK is all about jumping up and down with excitement in our discussions about our what God is doing on this planet, as well as his glimpses of the other side.

COLOR SPEAK is all about truth as well. It's about breaking down walls and tearing through barriers to expose what needs to be brought out into the light so the darkness no longer holds sway.

Because color is authenticity too.

In a world of fake everything, transparency matters. It’s what most people are crying out for these days. People want to be encouraged by people who are real.

Real is ugly. And beautiful.

Today, for the Season Two Opener of Color Speak, I have a very special guest with me. My daughter Rachel gets real today about weddings and manners and stress, and I think you'll want to listen.

Because there's beauty, and color, to be found there.

Color Speak, Episode 51, God Stories, with Award-Winning Journalist Jennifer Skiff

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color.

Color is where you’ll find God.

Color is God.

It’s his love for you.

We know light is what makes color happen.

Color is a product of light. So, if God IS light, that means color testifies!

To the everlasting goodness of a good God.

One who wants us to fill us with COLOR.

Have you ever thought of color this way?

And get this, the vibrancy we see here on earth isn’t even close to what we will see in heaven. God has not only given us a glimpse of what awaits us, what we experience to a degree here on earth is elevated through color. In this way, color represents so much.

We can be encouraged to live our lives to the fullest, knowing we have support from the other side cheering us on. We need only pay attention to be galvanized on our journeys.

Color Speak is all about jumping up and down with excitement in our discussions about our glimpses of the other side. God doesn't ask us to believe in color blindness. He gives us illuminated sneak peeks to empower us to greater vision.

Our guest today is an award-winning investigative journalist who traveled the world for more than a decade as a correspondent and producer for CNN. Her specialty is the environment and among other industry honors, she has received the prestigious Environmental Media Award.

Color Speak, Episode 50, Dragonflies From Heaven, with Lisa Ward

Fri, 10 Dec 2021 00:00:00 -0600

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color.

Color is where you’ll find God.

Color is God.

It’s his love for you.

We know light is what makes color happen.

Color is a product of light. So, if God IS light, that means color testifies!

To the everlasting goodness of a good God.

One who wants us to fill us with COLOR.

Have you ever thought of color this way?

Now consider the absence of color. How does that make you feel?

When I wrote about the losses of loved ones in my memoir, I described what I was going through and feeling as a loss of color, though I wasn’t processing the idea of color as God at the time. It doesn’t take faith to recognize, however, that color is holy.

Or that there is a darkness out there, palpable and real, that wants to rob us of color.

And yet, the colors we see here on earth aren’t even close to what we will see in heaven. God has not only given us a glimpse of what awaits us, but what we can experience to a degree here on earth is highlighted this way. In this way, color represents so much.

No wonder it seems to fade in the shadows.

Our guest today is a woman who can testify to this. She is also a woman who can testify to the glory that awaits us on the other side.

On July 3 of 2021 Lisa lost her 22 year old son Jace after a two year fight with brain cancer. I think you will be very encouraged by what she has to say.

She has experienced God walking closer to her more than ever, and has colorful miracles to share.

I've heard it said heaven is filled with dragonflies, that dragonflies are messengers from heaven here on earth.

When you hear this story, you'll believe.

Color Speak, Episode 49, Getting Out of Stuck, with Sally Livingston

Fri, 03 Dec 2021 13:00:00 -0600

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color.

Color is where you’ll find God.

Color is God.

It’s his love for you.

We know light is what makes color happen.

Color is a product of light. So, if God IS light, that means color testifies!

To the everlasting goodness of a good God.

One who wants us to fill us with COLOR.

Have you ever thought of color this way?

How about the rainbow? Have you considered that perhaps the reason it resonates so powerfully within your heart is not only because it paints goodness in the skies after storms, but because it reminds of God’s love and myriad promises for us?

The colors we see here on earth, aren’t even close to what we will see in heaven. God has not only given us a glimpse of what awaits us, but what we can experience to a degree here on earth is highlighted this way. In this way, color represents so much.

Today we are going to talk about how color symbolizes freedom.

Life is all about dynamic, sacred purpose—that’s what we celebrate here. Freedom is all about feeling uninhibited when embracing our God-given assignments. We were meant to flourish in freedom, to be all we were meant to be!

No apologies, no excuses.

COLOR SPEAK is all about empowering women to relevance restoration, because we are human. This condition allows us to step into sticky places on occasion. More often than not we flounder or even wallow there. We become stuck. But God’s unlimited grace restores our minds to purpose! There we become socially influential in that we are able to encourage others to theirs as well.

There, we wear the gift, as Sally says.

Wear the gift my friends!

(Oh, and please excuse the strange interference that occurs in the beginning of our conversation. :-0)

Sally Livingston is the author of the book, Get Over It: Four Steps to Breaking Free from the Stuck Cycle.

She is a licensed marriage and family therapist and a church ministry leader with over 25 years of professional experience. I love her positioning statement:

Sally Livingston works with people caught in the trap of believing they have to live out of what they’ve been given or experienced. She helps them move to a place of freedom that only comes by accepting God’s truth about who they are and where they can go in life.

1 Corinthians 3:16

Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?

Color Speak, Episode 48, The Eyeless Mind with Stephanie Duesing

Sat, 20 Nov 2021 10:00:00 -0600

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color.

Color is where you’ll find God.

Color is God.

It’s his love for you.

I know it’s obvious to people with sight that light is what makes color happen.

Color is a product of light and God IS light, so color testifies!

To the everlasting goodness of a good God.

One who wants us to fill us with COLOR.

Have you ever thought of color this way?

The colors we see here on earth, aren’t even close to what we will see in heaven.

My husband, Kevin, is colorblind, so he doesn’t see earth’s color the way most of us do. Oh, he can see a rainbow and other colors, but colorblindness means it isn’t the same for him as it is for me.

Our guest today is going to talk about blindness, but in a way you’ve probably never considered blindness before. You see, her son is blind, but no one knew that for many years.

Because, Sebastian is a living miracle.

Color Speak; Episode 47; Weddings, Editings, and Rainbows; with Traci Matt

Sat, 13 Nov 2021 11:00:00 -0600

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color.

Color is where you’ll find God.

Color is God.

It’s his love for you.

At the risk of sounding much too obvious, light is what makes color happen. But track with me here…

Color is a product of light and God IS light, so color testifies!

To the everlasting goodness of a good God.

One who wants us to fill us with COLOR.

Have you ever thought of color this way?

If you know me, you know rainbows are my favorite. My stories are full of rainbows, because God has given them to me when I need them most, and because I took the time to notice his communication. For example, he painted a rainbow over my daughter’s plane to assure me of his protection over her…you see, I’d had a history of plane crash tragedies as part of my story. But then God changed it up, creating good there.

That first rainbow, the first one I really took notice of, changed everything.

I talk about it now. A lot. I can't help myself!

Stories can be like colorful confetti. When we release what is in us to illustrate the goodness of God there, heaven rejoices, because they celebrate what he is doing on this planet.

In this episode, we tell stories of weddings and editings. Rainbows too, of course.

Color Speak Episode 46, Do You Believe Too Little in Miracles? With Theresa M. Miller

Fri, 05 Nov 2021 16:00:00 -0500

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color.

Color is where you’ll find God.

Color is God.

It’s his love for you.

Light is what makes color happen—you know that.

Color is a product of light and God IS light, so color testifies!

To the everlasting goodness of a good God.

One who wants us to fill us with COLOR.

The Bible tells us not only did God use a rainbow to convey his love and promise to us, but that he is surrounded in a rainbow. Revelation 4:3 says:

And he who sat there had the appearance of jasper and ruby, and around the throne was a rainbow that had the appearance of an emerald.

How wild is that?

Perhaps that’s why regardless of faith, the rainbow resonates so much with the human heart.

Anyway, I like to think of our stories as color, our miracles as colored confetti floating all about us in rainbow colors.

So, I am excited to have you listen to our guest today. She is someone who, like you, has a story.

FULL OF MIRACLES!

Miracles my friend, are real and never old.

And they are for you too.

Color Speak, Episode 45, Miracles in Clay, with Barb Trost

Fri, 29 Oct 2021 00:00:00 -0500

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color.

Color is where you’ll find God.

Color is God.

It’s his love for you.

Light is what makes color happen, obviously.

Color is a product of light and God IS light, so color testifies!

To the everlasting goodness of a good God.

One who wants us to fill us with COLOR: The hues of Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, Self-Control. Color is fruit!

And even more. We have a good, colorful God.

I like to think of our stories as colorful confetti. When we toss ours up toward heaven, they fall to earth I celebration of what our Creator is doing here.

The word “Stories” is the word these days. Stories are a thing. Because we are realizing we all have them to share. Publicly.

More and more humans are realizing they need not be published or on air to go public with stories once confined to small groups and intimate gatherings.

Stories are meant to go big, not home.

Technology fosters this. Social media isn’t always a bad thing. God has given us all platforms.

As Christ gathers his church in preparation of his return, it has become more important than ever to recognize his encouragement in encouraging one another.

He is as active now as ever before. Intimately, intricately involved of every detail of our lives. Don’t hold back relating how he has worked in your life by listening to the lies of an enemy who wants us to shut up.

Our guest today is someone who will not shut up. She is all about love and truth, gentleness and kindess in truth. And sister, does she have some stories to share! Wait 'til you hear the miracles she talks about in this podcast!

WOW! is all I can say.

The night after Barb and I talked here, I got into bed and received the "Verse of the Day" message below on my phone from my Bible app. It was so God! I took a screen shot and sent it to Barb. Once you listen to this episode, you will understand.

"But now, O Lord, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the work of your hand." ~ Isaiah 64:8

COLOR.

And music and dance and food and drink. Our God has thought of everything! All the creativity and beauty we see around us, all the provision and care we've been given, are glimpses of his heart.

And at the risk of sounding like a broken record (pun intended), just as our stories are color for a hue deprived world, our songs allow us to paint the planet too. Whether told in prose, poetry, painted, or set to music, we add vibrancy to our human experience with testimonies of rescue and redemption.

Triumph testifies of a good God!

You will be encouraged by our guest today.

Light is what makes color happen.

Color is a product of light and God IS light, so color testifies!

I’m telling you, this is one of the best stories you will ever hear, or read, since we won’t be giving too much away today. I want you to read this book!

It’s one that begins in WW2 Germany, where God showed up in the life of a young girl taken as a slave for a German officer. In a place where you might think darkness reigned in full control, light made a way.

But make no mistake, there is still more good in the world than bad. Goodness is still in control, no matter how things look.

Color Speak, Episode 42, It's Never Too Late to Turn Things Around, with Mary Dougherty

Fri, 24 Sep 2021 20:00:00 -0500

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color.

Color is where you’ll find God.

Color is God.

It’s his love for you.

Light is what makes color happen.

Color is a product of light and God IS light, so color testifies!

To the everlasting goodness of a good God.

One who wants us to fill us with light and truth and joy.

COLOR.

My friends our stories are color! Our testimonies of rescue and redemption matter!

Triumph testifies!

Today's episode is all about triumph after decades of defeat. In fact, this story blows me away!

Mary Dougherty is someone with a beautiful story. It's one she is using to help others live a life free from the burden of alcoholism and addition.

Mary was on the streets at the age of 12. A runaway, she was pregnant at 12, and again at 14. She became a mother at 15.

She was rescued from a biker gang.

Mary's life was fraught with drugs and alcohol.

Until she became sober at the age of 50!

She is now helping others overcome addiction.

I love Mary! Her story is so very inspiring, it brings me to tears.

What until you hear about the very many ways God protected her. Talk about miracles!

This is testimony to the goodness of God, my friends.

Please listen!

Oh, and I told her, she really does need to write a book about all of this. What she has to say is riveting!

***

Mary Dougherty uses her experience to assist others in finding the help they are seeking--to live life free from the strong holds of active addiction and the behaviors around it. Recovery is not a ‘one-way street’--what is good for some, may not work others.

Color Speak, Episode 41, What is Faith?

Sun, 19 Sep 2021 20:00:00 -0500

Faith wasn’t what my grandmother covered when she wrote a column for the Los Angeles Sentinel in the 1950s, though the subject would undoubtedly have been more palatable then than it is now.

The Sentinel was, and still is, a newspaper dedicated to advocating the African American voice. My grandmother who was white, wrote about government. Her column was entitled Our Government: Government OF the People, BY the People, FOR the people.

Neljane, whose nom de plume and familiar name was Jane Ewins, had been a crusader. She’d graduated from college at the age of 16 because she’d taken her university entrance exams after a year in high school and had then done graduate work at USC. After the Second World War, she attended law school at UCLA, thanks to a letter of recommendation written for her by senator Richard Nixon. Later, my grandmother wrote speeches for President Nixon and Dwight. D. Eisenhower, worked as a social worker, held real estate and insurance licenses, and was certified through the Red Cross as a lifeguard, all while raising four children as a single mother.

She did at the time what most women wouldn’t have dreamed of doing, and even those who might have had an inkling to cover such ground were simply not up to the rigors of it.

I had no idea my grandmother was so accomplished. To me she was my Baba—the one who rocked me in her arms after scooping me up in a towel at bath time and cuddled with me in my bed at night, leaving her rumpled tissues behind in the sheets. She was the one who never missed mass or Wheel-of-Fortune, or her after-five-o’clock scotch and soda, and who loved me in a way that blesses me to this day, long after her departure from this earth.

I had no idea she’d been a journalist, no clue she’d written a column until just last year when my mother dug through some paperwork at home and unearthed the evidence to give to me.

It was decades after I received my own degrees in communication and journalism, following my work as a broadcast journalist and writer in San Diego and Kansas City.

But it isn’t just genetic predisposition or even a love of writing that compels me to put words on paper and screen. And to do this, to talk to you.

I’m fueled by a desire to share hope with others.

I’m consumed with it, actually.

Maybe you feel the same way.

But a column in a newspaper dedicated to the topic of FAITH? That is just so…God!

What, exactly, is faith?

We all have it, but none of us has enough. We all know it has something to do with expectation, but now, the concept is open to interpretation. We all know it’s important, but to what degree?

For centuries, most of us understood it was the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

This podcast sounds a little different in that I don’t have a guest with me. Believe me, this wasn’t my choice. It was God’s!

I argued with him, of course. How could I do it alone? What on earth could I possibly say, just me, to encourage our listeners? Ew.

Anyway, things came up. Guests had issues, needed to reschedule, my computer crashed, AGAIN…well, let’s just say I needed to march on. Don’t worry, I have some wonderful guests lined up for the future!

But for now, you have me.

And I want to talk about faith. Or, to clarify, God wants me to talk about faith. I hope you will listen.

Maybe someone needs to hear this.

Maybe someone has bought the lie.

Believing the truth of the Bible is everything in understanding who Jesus is.

The Bible is all about encouraging us to FAITH.

Color Speak, Episode 40, All Things for Good, with Author Faye Bryant

Fri, 10 Sep 2021 00:00:00 -0500

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color.

Color is where you’ll find God.

Color is God.

It’s his love for you.

Light is what makes color happen.

Color is a product of light and God IS light, so color testifies!

And if color speaks of the everlasting goodness of a good God, who wants to fill us with light and truth and joy and love—COLOR, it stands to reason He’d like us to do the same for one another.

We are called to LOVE one another. To fill each other with light and truth and joy. To care and support and provide for our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Sometimes this is done through sharing our stories. The redemptive kind that have the power to change lives and influence the world for good.

We need to share the love!

This is what this podcast, COLOR SPEAK, is all about!

We really do need each other.

We really are supposed to share our stories!

When God first told me to do a podcast, I had no idea where to begin, but I knew it would be all about people like our guest today, women with testimonies of the Living God in our midst.

Today Faye Bryant shares truth and redemption with us through her stories. Stories of overcoming abuse, mistreatment, obstacles...you name it. And stories of the good that came of all of it.

Faye overcame it all and found she really does matter after all!

So do you, my friend.

Please be encouraged by listening to Faye to write your own stories, to share your triumph, to see the truth. Because it is always there, no matter how things look.

Color Speak, Episode 39, Choosing the Kingdom of Light, with Dr. Francesca Abii

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color.

Color is where you’ll find God.

Color is God.

It’s his love for you.

Light is what makes color happen.

Color is a product of light and God IS light, so color testifies!

There is no color in darkness--this goes without saying.

Have you ever really stopped down to wrap a mind around these truths?

How about this one--there are only two kingdoms in existence: The Kingdom of Light and The Kingdom of Darkness?

Which one are you choosing to live in?

Our guest today is not only living in the light, she's dancing it it, jumping up and down for joy, and joyfully proclaiming the truth of the Kingdom!

I don't know about you, but I want to live in the Kingdom of Light!

I promise if you listen to Dr. Francesca Abii, you will come away with a smile, and not just a little luminosity from all the light!

You will glow in color!

Color Speak, Episode 38, Praying for Afghanistan, with Author and Missionary, Rachel Miller

Fri, 27 Aug 2021 00:00:00 -0500

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color.

Color is where you’ll find God.

Color is God.

It’s his love for you.

Light is what makes color happen.

Color is a product of light and God IS light, so color testifies!

To the everlasting goodness of a good God.

One who wants us to fill us with light and truth and joy.

COLOR.

One who wants us to fill others with this color.

Jesus said he came to earth as a man to give us life and life abundantly and part of living life this way means helping others. We don’t cut ourselves off from what inconveniences us, or makes us feel uncomfortable.

Abundantly. That's a word to stop down on.

One that makes it impossible to think only of ourselves.

Unveiling truth for light means exactly that. We must uncover the truth so light can shine. We must take action there to know abundance.

Sometimes, that means listening, chosing to be informed.

Walking with Jesus means stepping forward and being willing to come alongside the sufferings of others, knowing he is by our sides. He moderates our involvement, He leads us to peace. He shows us how to love.

We must stand for truth in order to accomplish this, my friends.

Jesus’ brother James tells us faith without action is like a body without spirit. As humans, we tend to swing to both extremes. Either we work like fiends, attempting to earn our salvation, or we act like gluttons, devouring grace without response.

Jesus demonstrated balance.

In other words, he showed us how to be comfortable to walk through some gray too.

Today we are going to talk about what’s going on the world, with specific attention to Afghanistan. Because the world’s eyes are on Afghanistan and what is happening there.

I found Rachel Miller on FaceBook. She’d posted thoughts on Afghan refugees she’d come to know when she was doing mission work in Moscow. I loved what she had to say and under the Spirit’s prompting, I reached out to her to see if she would come talk to me here on COLOR SPEAK.

Please listen today.

And then, pray.

We are so much better together.

Color Speak, Episode 37, Living Joy, with Janine Lansing

COLOR.

Jesus said he came to earth as a man to give us life and life abundantly. That includes joy, of course!

Paul, a follower of Jesus, wrote in a letter to the Galations that joy is the fruit of the Spirit. When we grow in the Spirit, we can expect to produce joy.

Nehemiah, in Babylonian captivity, writes in the Old Testament of the Bible, “Do not grieve, for the Joy of the LORD is your strength.”

Joy is your strength. But not just any joy, the joy that comes from our God.

It's not a choice.

Joy is the result of our choices, according to our guest today.

That's something, isn't it?

The world is broken, but it won't be forever. You are sorrowful, but you won't be for long. Joy comes in the morning. The best is yet to come! Remember that my friend!

That is reason enough to be joyful!

Please listen today. This episode could bring you the joy you need.

Color Speak Episdode 36 Sailing Thankfulness with Kerry Neander

Fri, 06 Aug 2021 00:00:00 -0500

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color.

Color is where you’ll find God.

Color is God.

It’s his love for you.

Light is what makes color happen.

Color is a product of light and God IS light, so color testifies!

To his charming personality, his attributes, and his devotion to his creation.

Color testifies to the everlasting goodness of a good God.

Honestly, in a world of color, I think we forget these truths sometimes. We take color for granted.

We live in a world of color that lays parallel to our struggle and pain. Of course we forget to be mindful sometimes, but a quick stopping down to consider a world without it, a world without the reminder of healing and good, would cause us all to be far less encouraged than we are now.

In keeping with this understanding, we are going to broaden our horizons.

Literally. Our guest today is sailing around the world!

Have you ever thought about sailing around the world? Maybe you've been stressed out and burned out and considered something like sailing about.

Maybe you've wanted out of the race, off the merry-go-round, free from the ground to float away on a cloud.

Or sail away on a yacht.

You'll want to join us.

And then, perhaps you'll cast your nets out fully for capturing the full power of the wind.

Color Speak, Episode 35, A New Generation of Conservativism with Political Correspondent Mahgdalen Rose

Fri, 30 Jul 2021 00:00:00 -0500

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color.

Color is where you’ll find God.

Color is God.

It’s his love for you. His promises. His glimpse of things to come.

Light is what makes color happen.

Color is a product of light and God IS light, so color testifies!

Today we talk more truth, with a different focus. Today we take a look at the conservative platform from the next generation of conservativism.

Label it any way you want, but truth is still truth and supported by deductive reasoning and logic.

Today, we also talk about abortion.

In other words, we get real. Again.

If you are uncomfortable with this, let me tell you, I understand. I have my own revelations regarding this truth and they aren't pleasant. But in the interests of authenticity and productive discourse, I come clean, admitting and repenting of my own sins. I now stand humbly before you as a fallible human, but most importantly, a forgiven one in the blood of Jesus, and subsequently, a CRUSADER for TRUTH.

Being willing to face darkness head on is an important element in unveiling truth for light. Like it or not, truth means addressing issues that undermine it.

I don't have to tell you this, but truth isn’t what many people want to hear these days. Truth may not be the loudest voice in the room but that doesn't negate its power, still at work in a world starved for it.

And make no mistake, truth will be the loudest voice at the end of your life in this world.

The absolute truth is God has set limits for us and given us a way to live within the parameters that are best for us. It means he has a way to communicate with us, and whether you chose to believe the Bible is His way of doing so, the choice is yours to make.

What isn’t a choice is truth.

Again, if you want to know truth, seek it and you will find it.

If you are satisfied with your own understanding of truth in support of a personalized world view, it isn't truth you'll settle for, but deception.

Color Speak, Episode 34, The Rightness of Assertiveness, with the Always Real Emily

Fri, 23 Jul 2021 00:00:00 -0500

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color.

Color is where you’ll find God.

Color is God.

It’s his love for you.

Light is what makes color happen.

Color is a product of light and God IS light.

Color speaks of God’s promises. And his attributes, always good. And in considering God’s good ways, how often do you consider “assertiveness” as one of his characteristics?

Assertiveness is defined by Psychology Today as a social skill that relies heavily on effective communication while simultaneously respecting the thoughts and wishes of others. People who are assertive clearly and respectfully communicate their wants, needs, positions, and boundaries to others.

Wikipedia defines assertiveness as a method of critical thinking where an individual speaks up in defense of their views or in light of erroneous information.

Have you ever really dropped down there to consider assertiveness as critical thinking?

Last week my daughter Emily and I addressed the topic of boundary setting.

In this episode, the Always Real Emily is back with me for the rightness of asssertivness.

Assertiveness goes hand-in-hand with the beautifulness of boundary setting.

Consider this PART 2.

Christians are not only allowed to be assertive, we're encouraged to be. In the right way, of course.

Assertive Christians want to live lives in agreement with their faith and calling to be God’s people.

This is a lot easier said than done.

The book we referenced is SPEAKING THE TRUTH IN LOVE: How to be an Assertive Christian by Ruth N. Koch & Kenneth C. Haugk.

What we say here is not in conflict with our core values, as summed up this way:

"Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others." (Philippians 2:3- NKJV)

Color Speak, Episode 33, Why Jesus Likes Boundaries, with the Always Real Emily

Fri, 16 Jul 2021 00:00:00 -0500

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color.

Color is where you’ll find God.

Color is God.

It’s his love for you.

Color testifies to his everlasting goodness in myriad ways.

Color speaks of God’s attributes, always good.

So, which comes to mind for you?

Limitless? Unchanging? Omnipotent? Loving?

How about preemptive? Proactive? Boundary-setting?

Because you won’t find passive on the list of our Creator’s attributes!

He gives us parameters to live by and shows us how to incorporate the ideology behind these guidelines into our lives.

For us humans, a mention of the word "boundaries" can touch a nerve.

For some, the term is antithetical, what fencing was to early cowboys on a cattle drive.

For others, it's the seat belt that keeps them strapped in and safe for a cross country drive.

Regardless of individual perspective, our God is a God of boundaries.

Jesus set boundaries. And he wants us to set our own.

Today, we’re going to talk boundaries.

For this I've asked my daughter Emily back because she's always real.

Don’t worry, we’ll have plenty of scripture to back up our discussion.

And no guilt.

Color Speak, Episode 32, Motherhood, Metamorphosis, & Butterflies, with Natalie Dawn Hanson

Fri, 09 Jul 2021 00:00:00 -0500

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color.

Color is where you’ll find God.

Color is God.

It’s his love for you.

Have you ever thought of the world this way? Looked at color as something demonstrative of God’s love for us?

Have you ever viewed the world through a butterfly’s wings? Through a field of green, an azure sky, the brilliant skin of an orange?

The whiskers on the nose of a kitten? A bird in flight, a dolphin at play, a tiny baby’s cry? The sound of an orchestra, the smell of lavender, the feeling of being in love?

The face of your child.

Okay, so we could all go on and on about the things that touch our hearts. The point is, our God is in all of his creation.

In wild, brilliant color.

Color is God sharing himself with us!

Here on earth, color is defined as the property possessed by an object of producing different sensations on the eye as a result of the way the object reflects or emits light.

Light is what makes color happen.

Color is a product of light and God IS light!

Light is what causes us to celebrate diversity—in our colors, culture, talents, experiences, etc.

In our stories.

We are meant to share them. Celebrate the differences in them. Understand our God a little more because of them.

Our stories reflect different attributes of our God. They testify to his everlasting goodness in myriad ways.

Our guest today on COLOR SPEAK is here to speak on this. And on motherhood and metamorphosis and blue butterflies.

If you don't consider yourself a mother, please stick with us anyway. Whether we physically give birth to another human or not, we women are called to mother. We are called to be light, color, love, and support to those around us and particularly the younger people we mentor.

Mothering is aligning ourselves, in color, with the God who destined us for this, and so much more.

I am so happy to introduce you to author Natalie Dawn Hanson today, because she has written a book to help us soar in our dynamic, sacred purpose where all of this is concerned. She likens the journey to a metamorphosis similar to that of a butterfly. And what could be more colorful in imagery than a butterfly?

Color Speak, Episode 31, How Chocolate, Laughter, and Jesus are Good for Combating Stress, with Desi Payne

Fri, 02 Jul 2021 00:00:00 -0500

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color.

Color is where you’ll find God.

Color is God.

It’s his love for you.

Can you imagine a monotone world? Of course not! God gave us color but he says this world we know is but a shadow of things to come. He tells us our minds cannot imagine what he has prepared for us in the next. The color will undoubtedly blow our minds!

Color here on earth is defined as the property possessed by an object of producing different sensations on the eye as a result of the way the object reflects or emits light.

Light is what makes color happen.

Color is a product of light and God IS light, so there you have it.

Light is what causes us to love, create, work, etc.

Light is what causes us to help one another.

And light is what causes us to laugh.

Our guest today is on a mission to help us go from stressed out to chilled out.

You’re going to like this episode.

We are going to talk chocolate.

Color Speak, Episode 30, Creativity as Calling and Pain as Purpose, with Sohma Rae Hathaway

Fri, 25 Jun 2021 00:00:00 -0500

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color.

Color is where you’ll find God.

Color is God.

It’s his love for you.

Have you ever thought of the world this way? Looked at color as something demonstrative of God’s love for us?

And get this, God tells us in his Word that if we like what he has created here for us, we are really going to be impresse with what he has next for us. The world we know is but a shadow of things to come. He tells us our minds cannot imagine what he has prepared for those who love him!

We can’t help but celebrate this truth. And color!

Color here on earth is defined as the property possessed by an object of producing different sensations on the eye as a result of the way the object reflects or emits light.

Light is what makes color happen.

Color is a product of light and God IS light, so there you have it.

So, I am especially excited about talking with our guest this episode.

Sohma Rae Hathaway is an artist!

We talk sunsets and rainbows today.

But we get real about pain too. Because Sohma Rae Hathaway also describes herself as a pain specialist.

You'll find a lot of color in this episode.

And a lot of purpose too.

Color Speak, Episode 29, God First in Marriage, with Lyndsey Laramore

Fri, 18 Jun 2021 00:00:00 -0500

Light is what makes color happen.

Color is a product of light and God IS light, so there you have it. God is color.

When we emit our own light, reflective of his, we color our world.

With this in mind, our God must be first. If he isn't first in everything we do, if he isn't the first person we go to, our light is dimmed, our color diminished, the world deprived of our own, unique artistic contribution.

We can paint in the hard times.

Which means, when live gets difficult, when marriage becomes a struggle, if we choose to put our God first, we choose to live in promise.

Color is all about promise.

Color Speak, Episode 28, Celebrating Jesus and Kansas, with Laura-Mom, Missionary, & Farmer

Fri, 11 Jun 2021 23:00:00 -0500

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color.

Color is where you’ll find God.

Color is God.

It’s his love for you.

Color here on earth is defined as the property possessed by an object of producing different sensations on the eye as a result of the way the object reflects or emits light.

Light is what makes color happen.

Color is a product of light and God IS light, so there you have it.

Light is what causes us to celebrate diversity—the colors of our skin, the textures of our hair, the talents we possess.

Our cultural uniqueness.

Our experiences.

Our stories.

The world around us.

Our guest today is a woman whose story involves motherhood and missionary work, but not in that order, as well as a love for people of other cultures and farming. Laura is also a Bible study teacher at a Kansas City area church.

And, as a Kansas native, she loves Kansas even more than I do!

You'll love her, so please listen in!

Color Speak, Episode 27, with Zina Hermez

Fri, 04 Jun 2021 00:00:00 -0500

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color.

Color is where you’ll find God.

Color is God.

It’s his love for you.

Light is what makes this happen.

Color is a product of light and God IS light, so there you have it. Light is the first thing he reproduced of himself after creating the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1, verses 1-3, tells us this. When the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters, he said, “Let there be light”, and there was light.

It’s what makes up our entire universe.

Our bodies are composed of billions of atoms that absorb and emit light.

This is something our guest today celebrates. She also celebrates the miracle of having a body that can walk.

Doctors told her she wouldn't.

Zina Hermez suffered a spinal-cord-injury after being hit by a car while crossing the street on her way to school. She was hospitalized for months, on a ventilator for weeks. She couldn't eat, talk, or sit up. When health professionals predicted the worst, she looked to God and her faith.

He had been preparing her for this.

Faith is never at the mercy of science, and thus, Zina overcame the odds to triumph in a way that will encourage those who listen in today.

Especially those who enjoy a good scientific conversation about the theories of relativity and entanglement and light and the way the Bible supports all of it.

Light’s speed is the only thing in the universe that is constant.

Because God is light.

He is constant.

In every trial.

In each triumph.

Color Speak, Episode 26, A Miracle Voice, with Vivian L. King

Fri, 28 May 2021 00:00:00 -0500

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color.

Color is where you’ll find God.

Color is God.

It’s his love for you.

One thing is for sure, it will be wildly colorful, beyond our ability to conceive colorful.

As part of this beautiful, colorful world we're currently in, he gave us each other. We are meant to encourage one another on to the next through the sharing of stories uniquely ours in this place. Not only are we destined to great purpose, we are destined to empower one another through our transparency.

Just as our experiences here on earth are distinct, our encounters with our God vary. No one connection looks the same. Sharing the myriad ways in which he works with us and supports us on our journeys is empowerment for all. It's part of our sacred purpose!

Our guest today is doing just that. Sharing her story. From a TV journalist and communicator to a stroke victim with an inability to speak, she went from tragedy to triumph to help others.

May is National Stroke Awareness Month and a great time for Vivian L. King to empower women with information for better health.

Her story is full of God's provisions.

Was Vivian’s outcome different from most?

Vivian’s answer is, yes. Most stroke victims don’t experience the complete, restorative healing Vivian did. Her healing is, quite frankly, a miracle of biblical proportions. Alas, we ran out of time and didn’t fully explore this, mostly because I didn’t ask the question until we were off air. But anyone listening won’t have any trouble discerning the wonderful ways in which God worked in Vivian’s life.

Listening to this episode today could change yours.

Please do. Listen.

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color.

Color is where you’ll find God.

Color is God.

It’s his love for you.

Can you imagine a monotone world? Of course not! God gave us color. And Scripture tells us this world we know is but a shadow of things to come. It also tells us our minds cannot imagine what he has prepared for us.

But imagination is something our God encourages. We create because our God created first.

Especially impressive to this author are fiction creators. The writing of make-believe requires great imagination!

Color Speak, Episode 24, Escaping the Shadow of Domestic Abuse with April Tribe Giauque

Fri, 14 May 2021 00:00:00 -0500

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color.

Color is where you’ll find God.

Color is God.

It’s his love for you.

It's what we speak to one another.

In the light. And in the darkness too.

Because the love of God is found in both places, in all places, even in the shadows.

The light cannot be extinguished. It's always shining on us. It's what provides shadow. Are we, then, looking ahead, allowing our faces to shine in the light, or are we turning back to focus on our shadows?

We can’t stand in light while sheltering in the darkness, according to our next guest, who fought her way out of a place she describes as an abyss of abuse.

Past her own lurking shadow.

Okay, so this may sound cryptic, but it's actually pretty straight forward thinking. No matter what you've relegated to shadow, listening to this episode could prove beneficial. We all need reminders now and again to stay the course.

I'm going to be honest with you. Even when I was going through a similar battle, I wouldn't have been inclined to listen to a podcast about domestic abuse. It would have been to confirm something I wasn't ready to admit.

But it would have been to embrace the truth.

Maybe you're not ready. Maybe this subject matter doesn't apply to you.

But maybe it does. We all face battles.

Darkness comes for us all. But light prevails for all. We need only stand in it.

April Tribe Giauque used tiny pinpricks of light in inky heaviness to find hope that would grow in color.

Her story is, well, enthralling. And anytime we can celebrate a sister overcoming adversity to triumph in the light, we must do it!

Color Speak, Episode 23, Overcoming the Shame of Parental Schizophrenia, with Cecile Bibawy

Fri, 07 May 2021 00:00:00 -0500

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color.

Color is where you’ll find God.

Color is God.

It’s his love for you.

Color is being assured of who God is, which in turn, assures us of who we are. Knowing we are gifted with sacred purpose and encouraged to an abundant life by a God who loves us in color, empowers us to take advantage of all he has given us to work with and walk through.

Color is RESPONSE.

Because color is truth, even when we don’t know what that is.

Though there is darkness and shadow, it still exists. Just because we can't see it doesn't render it non-existent.

We all go through trials. Suffering is part of the human condition. THIS truth doesn’t negate the rest of it: That we are gifted with dynamic purpose, wired to help others find theirs. We were destined to this good work before we were even born! God foreknew this for us.

He never meant for us to stay in our darkness, our pain. He meant for us to shine brilliantly.

There we are able to paint our pain into platform.

Our guest today was raised in a unique environment that initially kept her from realizing her true potential. Her upbringing by a mother who suffered from schizophrenia only brought her shame and stigma.

Like so many of us, Cecile was held captive by her secret.

Shame and stigma thrive in secret.

And when the secret is mental illness, we are often more bound to keep it hidden. Sanity is one of God’s blessings we may be forgetful to be grateful for.

But our God is bigger than all that comes against us. And he often wants us to talk about it. Talking about it is how we overcome it, according to Cecile Bibawy. Silence can cultivate shame.

Author of a riveting book entitled LOVING HER MIND, Cecile is an author, teacher and speaker who resolved to escape her trappings by opening up about the realities of living in an environment of psychosis.

I hope you will stay connected with us today to hear Cecile’s amazing story of triumph! I hope you will feel encouraged by her resolve not to stay quiet!

No matter what you are struggling with today, understand that through God, your shame can be turned into splendor!

Your guilt can be made good.

Gladness may be found in the Glory!

Color Speak, Episode 22, Nothing Hidden with Marta Greenman

Fri, 30 Apr 2021 00:00:00 -0500

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color…

Color is where you’ll find God.

Color is God.

It’s his love for you.

Color is RESPONSE.

Because color is truth. You can’t help but react to it.

Color is knowing God. Being obediant to his direction.

I know, an awful word to most of us: Obediant.

So, following God's direction often means we have to get uncomfortable.

But discomfort is often where forgiveness lives.

And it's definently where help for others thrives!

Sometimes that kind of color can only happen when what is hidden is brought out into the light for exposure. Oh, the many hued prisms you can unearth there!

What the enemy best works with is what is hidden. He prowls about as a lion ready to devour what we so freely give him to operate with.

What is in the darkness.

What is difficult to share with others.

My friend, shine some light on it.

Pull it out from underneath your rug, reach into the back of your closet, sweep forward what you've been blowing into the back corner.

You can count on our God to lead you every step of the way.

You can also count on plenty of sisters like Marta Greenman setting beautiful examples of what this looks like. They are the brave women who won't tolerate shame and manipulation anymore. They are tired of all the lurking.

It's time to rob our enemy of power girls!

It's time to keep nothing hidden.

I've decided to do the same, God help me.

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color.

Color is where you’ll find God.

Color is God.

It’s his love for you.

It's his more for you.

Color is being assured of who God is, which in turn, assures you of who you are.

Color is more.

More than meager or mediocre.

More than whatever mountain you face.

More than the limits of your comprehension.

More than your next big triumph.

Never settle where God is concerned.

He never envisioned your insufficiency or mediocracy.

You were made for much more.

Color is where you’ll find God.

Color is God.

It’s his love for you.

Have you ever thought of color this way—as a delightful expression of the love God has for you?

My friends, we must be mindful of color!

We must be mindful of our call to unveil truth for color.

Being assured of who God is, assures us of who we are, illuminating our calling. Knowledge nudges us forward, allows us to claim our birthright, empowers us with the confidence to act as his representative here on earth.

To fulfill our sacred purpose.

Which includes an obligation to speak up and speak truth.

Something we are to do until our very last day with our very last breath.

My guest this episode is a woman who endeavors not to compromise truth and she’s written about that very subject, and many others, in her book, a collection of vignettes: From My Heart to Yours. Barbara Russell says we should stand up and refuse to compromise where our faith and religious freedom are concerned.

She may be in her eighties, but she won’t take the sidelines where truth is concerned. She's staying in the fight.

Barbara is a former school librarian of thirty years, a talk radio veteran, and an author, but her most important calling is witnessing for Jesus Christ.

I want to be just like her when I grow up.

Color Speak, Episode 17, Turning Mourning into Dancing with Erica Marie Foster

Fri, 26 Mar 2021 00:00:00 -0500

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color…

Color is where you’ll find God.

Color is God.

It’s his love for you.

Nothing can overcome this love. Nothing can separate you from it.

His love exists within the dark spaces, in the void places, inside every storm.

Light makes this true.

What is colorless is often overture. Tonelessness, the prelude to revelation.

To talk about what God is doing in splendid color, we must be willing to talk about what is dark too. We must be willing to see beyond the shadows.

And as my guest this episode says, we need to acknowledge that God does his best work in caves. Indeed, he is still coloring our world for us in those places, whether we realize it or not!

It helps to know this. To know that the light of God can never be extinguished, and, therefore, that color cannot be erased either.

Erica Marie Foster is someone who learned to take her dark mourning into places of colorful dancing. The more she cried out to God for help and embraced her pain, the more His relentless LOVE collided with her deepest human desperation, teaching her in the most beautiful, profound ways how to DANCE upon all her pain and despair.

Listen, we can’t celebrate what God is doing here on planet earth without dealing with the realities of the pain and suffering we all must walk through.

It's part of being human.

But we don't have to dance there.

***

Erica Marie Foster has a passion for helping women, and particularly single mothers. Through her transparent writing, speaking and coaching, she boldly shares her fierce love for Jesus through real stories to help us live and dance in faith! She is the author of You Taught My Feet to Dance: Learning to Follow His Lead.

Color Speak, Episode 16, The Miraculous Realm with Hila Esters

Fri, 19 Mar 2021 00:00:00 -0500

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color…

Color is where you’ll find God.

Color is God.

It’s his love for you.

It's a hint of what exists on the other side, in another realm.

Have you ever thought of color this way—as a delightful expression of God, his Kingdom, and the love he has for you?

Have you considered color as representation of another realm?

God is offering you the keys of a Kingdom beyond your wildest imagination, one you gain glimpses of here on earth. You need only unlock the door to gain access to his supernatural realm.

Keep in mind, those keys also lock doors in this earthy realm, my friend. The ones we needn't open. Some doors must be locked!

But in order to do that, to live opportunities with the access we've been granted, we must cut our puppet strings.

When we are strung up, we can't reach for the keys!

What you consider freedom may only be controlled awareness with calculated movements and that's no way to live, my friend Hila says.

“Awareness opens the door to the possibility of what was previously unknown."

Resurrection Power is a different way of thinking.

Jesus gave his life so that we could be redeemed. Consequently, heaven must be manifested here on earth.

We have been given an opportunity to walk in two realms here and now.

We have been granted access to wild color!

Color Speak, Episode 15, Relationship, Not Religion, with Iuvina Basile

Fri, 12 Mar 2021 00:00:00 -0600

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color…

Color is where you’ll find God.

Color is his promise to us, a symbol of his love for us.

We achieve our dynamic, sacred purpose under this colorful love.

God is constantly, overwhelmingly, showing us his love!

He is constantly pursuing relationship with us.

Relationship is different than religion.

Ditch the religion. Move forward into a relationship with your God and claim your light!

Color Speak, Episode 14, Writing Your Story, with Debra Irene

Fri, 05 Mar 2021 00:00:00 -0600

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color…

Color is where you’ll find God.

Color is his promise to us, a symbol of his love for us!

We thrive in this color!

God is constantly, overwhelmingly, showing us he is in love with us!

In color!

The assurance of this colorful love empowers us to do what we were created to do. It illuminates our sacred purpose.

We need to be reminded we were created for such a time as this. In this moment. In this place. Our timing is now.

Let me tell you my friend, your purpose includes a little story telling. Don’t believe me? Listen. We all have a story to tell. We all have experiences uniquely ours so that we may share them!

It is said over 80% of all Americans have a book in them. If you’ve heard this, you may also have heard it said that while most adults have a book in them, in them is often where it should stay!

Okay, so arguably, not everyone aspires to write or even has the slightest idea where to start. However, books aren’t the only forms of communication we’re talking about here. Writing a book is just one way to get those stories out.

Your life is every bit as exciting as the next person’s, especially when you consider what God is doing in it and with it to bring everything together in harmonious union with his plans for restoration in a broken world.

A word of clarity, however, before we go any further. Don't mistake a life on fire lived to purpose for one operating independently of God. Though each life is precious, value is what is found in giving God the glory, stepping into his color.

Stories are to celebrate God and his love for us. Not to celebrate self and the love of it. They're meant to color the world!

Your God-given purpose is to love and support others on this journey called life. Sharing stories from your own unique perspective as gained through your own unique set of experiences is holy work!

Again, your purpose involves communication.

Oh dear, how does that work for introverts, you ask?

Well, take a moment here. My next guest is an introvert who has written three books. But writing isn’t her day job. It’s just something she dreams will one day be.

Her latest will resonate with many of you. It’s entitled “Someday I will write”.

If you have even a twinkling of a hint that God may be nudging you to share your triumphs with others through writing about them, stick around.

God shows up in big ways when you respond to these nudgings.

Fri, 26 Feb 2021 00:00:00 -0600

Color Speak, Episode 12, Becoming Fully Alive with Terri Sullivant

Fri, 19 Feb 2021 00:00:00 -0600

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color…

Color is where you’ll find God.

Color is his love for us.

My friends, there's never been a better time for embracing this truth! For developing an intimate, loving relationship with your Maker. For dancing with him and allowing his love to empower you.

For enjoying him in color!

This is a place to celebrate truth.

There's never been a better time to enter the D IVINE DANCE OF BECOMING FULLY ALIVE to be liberated into transformation.

Color Speak, Episode 11, Defeating Your Greatest Opponent with Kelly Renee Baker

Fri, 12 Feb 2021 00:00:00 -0600

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color…

Color is where you’ll find God.

We need him.

We need to understand who he is.

We need to understand who we are in him.

We need to be reminded we were created for such a time as this. In this moment. In this place. Our timing is now.

We each have sacred purpose in this moment in history. And there’s never been a better time to reclaim, revive, and restore our relevance!

There's also never been a better time to understand what we're up against.

We need to know who our greatest opponent is. We need to identify the enemy.

They are not one and the same.

Do you feel you could use a win right now?

Winning starts with self awareness. It starts with the truth.

Maybe you should listen to this.

Color Speak, Episode 10, The Cost of Comparison with Renee VIdor

Fri, 05 Feb 2021 00:00:00 -0600

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color…

Color is where you’ll find God.

Now, more than ever, we need him.

Now, more than ever, we need to be assured he hasn’t abandoned us.

Now, more than ever, we need to be reminded of this truth.

And of who we are in him. We need to be reminded we were created for such a time as this. In this moment. In this place. Our timing wasn’t happenstance.

WE WERE DESIGNED FOR NOW.

We each have sacred purpose in this moment in history and there’s never been a better time to reclaim, revive, and restore our relevance!

Don’t let the world get you down! Let God bring you up!

And don't let deception take you in ways you shouldn't go. Don't be losing focus to be discouraged by what others are doing. God equipped you with skills and talents uniquely yours! Rooted in the truth of who you are in Him, you cannot fail!

As my friend Renee Vidor says, “Celebrate and use your abilities! Don’t look out your window and give up what you have because you wish you were capable of what someone else is doing.”

In this episode, we talk comparison. When it is all good, and when it's time to move away from it and into the light.

There you will be reminded of who you were created to be!

Color Speak, Episode 9, Science, the Quantam Realm, and God with Author and Missionary Grace S. Grose

Fri, 29 Jan 2021 00:00:00 -0600

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color…

Color is where you’ll find God.

Now, more than ever, we need him.

Now, more than ever, we need to be assured he hasn’t abandoned us.

Now, more than ever, we need to be reminded of this truth.

Boy, do we need TRUTH!

We need to share it. We must tell our stories!

Stories of God’s hand in our lives, the ways in which he protects us, provides for us, loves us. The ones about the supernatural ways in which he works.

Where this reality is concerned, we often need to start at the beginning. Confirm what we know.

Redefine reality.

That's where my next guest comes in, and I am SO excited to have you listen to what she has to say. A missionary to indigenous people in the Northwest, Grace is an author who also has plenty to say on the quantum realm.

It is so exciting to be a believer in Jesus! All of creation testifies to this!

Don't believe the rocks cry out in his name?

You'd better listen.

Color Speak, Episode 8, The View from Gen Z, with Zoe & Christine

Fri, 22 Jan 2021 00:00:00 -0600

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color…

Color is where you’ll find God.

Now, more than ever, we need to know he is still with us. That he still walks beside us. That he still fights our battles.

That he is remains our stronghold.

We need to know God is for real.

University students Zoe and Christine talk about this, giving a little Generation Z perspective for a lot of widespread encouragement.

Color Speak, Episode 7, Choosing Joy with Dr. Sandra Duclos

Fri, 15 Jan 2021 00:00:00 -0600

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color…

Color is where you’ll find God.

And God is where you'll find joy.

I'll cut to the chase here. Joy is a choice. Just like a relationship with God is. He doesn't force himself upon us. He gives us the choice to be in partnership with him, in a place where we can experience joy.

There is no real way to experience joy without God.

He created it.

Joy, then, is a choice.

Dr. Sandro Duclos, a clinical psycologist, knows this firsthand. You should listen to what she has to say about this.

It could bring you joy!

Color Speak, Episode 6, Believing Acorns for Oaks with Lisa Rae Morris

Fri, 08 Jan 2021 00:00:00 -0600

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color…

Color is where you’ll find God.

A God that’s still sending us signs of his devotion to us. He’s still communicating with us, sending us messages, demonstrations of His love for us. He is still pursuing us, whether we realize it or not.

And He's still giving us acorns.

Listen to this! Lisa will give you encouragement to see your acorns for what they really are: seeds placed in the soil at just the right time to grow massive oaks.

With the help of our God.

You only need to believe.

Color Speak, Episode 5, Miracles in the Midst of War with Rosie J. Williams

Wed, 30 Dec 2020 00:00:00 -0600

Light is where you'll find truth; truth is where you'll find color.

Color is where you'll find God.

He is still invested in his planet, still demonstrating his devotion, still sending us messages of his love.

He is still pursuing us, whether we recognize it or not.

Let's talk about this. Let's bring examples of God's supernatural presence into the light for examination. Let's encourage one another to our sacred purposes by examining the truth.

That is, who we are in God.

Being assured there is so much more beyond what we can see propels us forward to step into our calling with confidence, and to share what we know: the good in the bad.

Rosie J. Williams knows something about this. Her latest book, co-authored with her husband Steve, Nine Pairs of Boots in Vietnam, speaks to the presence of God in all things. Even war.

We cover a lot of ground in this interview. I know it will be encouraging to all who listen.

Color Speak, Episode 4, That "Uncomfortable Conversation" with Cathy Studer

Tue, 22 Dec 2020 08:00:00 -0600

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color…

Color is where you’ll find God.

It's one of the ways he shows us his love.

God is devoted to us. He is constantly giving us assurances of this. He’s still communicating with us, sending us signs, messages, and beautiful illustrations in his pursuit of us, whether we realize it or not.

This is a place for talking about this, for getting beyond coincidence.

It’s also a place where we may affirm one another’s relevance. We all have a sacred purpose here.

Here we will change perspective for empowerment.

This interview is going to look a little different from most. In this episode, I talk with my friend and award-winning author Cathy Studer, who is an advocate for that “uncomfortable conversation”, as a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. How does that sort of discussion factor into a podcast that advocates for seeing a good God in the world?

You’ll have to stay tuned…

To learn how to overcome trauma to step forward into the light for color. (Because we all have a little trauma.)

To be encouraged to claim your relevance and stand strong. (Your greatest pain is your greatest platform.)

To tell your story. (We all have one we are supposed to share.)

Being assured there is so much more beyond what we can see is what propels us forward to share what we know—the good beyond the bad. There can be no more dynamic purpose than to share this good news: Truth in color!

Cathy’s message is all about breaking the silence for this purpose. Bringing what needs to be exposed out of the darkness into the light.

Her message is for all.

Color Speak, Episode 3, Supernatural Superpower with Missy Maxwell Worton

Sun, 20 Dec 2020 13:00:00 -0600

Light is where you'll find truth; truth is where you'll find color...

Color is where you'll find God.

Here is a place to talk about what he is doing, in color! For bringing examples into the light for encouragement, for exposing miracles for celebration, and for sharing supernatural stories for empowerment.

Today I talk with Missy Maxwell Worton, author of the award-winning book, Don't Mess with This Mama: Risking it All to Rescue our Daughter. Missy's riveting story is one you need to hear! It will awaken you to the superpower you have within you so you can bravely fulfill the purpose God has for your life!

Color Speak, Episode 2, Miracles of Devotion with Author Nancy Huber

Wed, 16 Dec 2020 17:00:00 -0600

Light is where you find truth. Truth is where you find color.

Color is where you find God.

He hasn't gone missing in this crazy world. He didn't design it and stand back, leaving us to our own devices. He isn't throwing his hands up in surrender.

He is utterly devoted to us, constantly giving us messages of his love. In color.

Once we wrap our heads around this, we can be confident to move forward on our missions, our dynamic purpose.

My guest today is someone God chose for us. I didn't know Nancy Huber well when I asked her to be a guest here. We connected online because we have something in common: homeschooling.

If homeschooling doesn't interest you, please don't check out right now. Homeschooling may have connected Nancy and me, but it quickly became apparent miracle stories bonded us.

Nancy's stories of perseverance and God's supernatural devotion will buoy any heart and particularly those who homeschool. You see, Nancy chose to do it illegally, overseas, against all odds, because it was what she knew God wanted her to do.

He affirmed her through miracles.

If you listen, it's my hope he'll affirm you through her miracle stories. So much so, you'll be encouraged to tell your own.

Color Speak: Prologue

Sat, 12 Dec 2020 00:00:00 -0600

Welcome to this first podcast to unveil truth and uplift you!

Here you will find

Truth Talk

For Relevance Restoration
Social Influence
and Dynamic Purpose

In All Places and All Seasons.

Here we will unveil truth for color.

So, what do I mean by that?

Light is where you'll find truth; truth is where you'll find color.

Color is where you'll find God.

Imagine a monotone world! How boring would that be? It's a good thing our Maker is constantly giving us assurances of his devotion to us!

Constantly reassuring us he's in love with us!

The evidence is color.

Let's talk about that. Let's encourage one another to relevance here. Tell our stories. Speak the truth. Share our rainbows.

Encourage one another in our God. He's in the big miracles and in the whispers on the wind too.

Let's encourage one another to spiritual sight.

Let's see beyond what is visible.

Color Speak, Episode 1, Keeping Things Real with Emily

Sat, 12 Dec 2020 00:00:00 -0600

Light is where you'll find truth, truth is where you'll find color.

Color is where you'll find God.

He hasn't gone missing from the planet, you know. Though he's always assuring us of this truth, we often forget it. We compare our God moments to others, we chalk messages up to coincidence, and we render possibility to inadequacy, or worse, to non-existence.

Today I talk with twenty-four year old Emily Flinn, my third youngest daughter, for a real conversation about what faith looks like from her perspective. When I first began thinking about doing a podcast (or first began hearing the voice of God instructing me to), I knew at some point my girls would be a part of it. I have six girls, and we make a great team. (This is true of my two sons as well. Taylor, aka well-known music producer and DJ, Brian Flinn, produced the sound for Color Speak.) Everyone is blessed with different talents that make us terrific when we work together.

We were all designed to help one another. This podcast is dedicated to encouraging you! Here we share the big, supernatural stories, and the everyday whispers to affirm you on your path to seeing what is beyond the visible.

Color.
