This incredible testimony from Verity Conference 2024 will transform how you think about everyday evangelism. Leila shares her powerful story from Muslim family to Christian ministry, and reveals the four practical ways we can all carry God's Kingdom into our daily lives.

Four Ways to Carry the Kingdom:

- Pursue Kingdom Priorities - Aligning your agenda with heaven's agenda

- Possess Kingdom Mysteries - Bringing "kingdom souvenirs" to others

- Assume Kingdom Posture - Childlike faith and dependence on God

- Release Kingdom Power - Holy Spirit power through everyday conversations

The Dentist Story: How a simple conversation during a dental appointment led to a complete life transformation - from curious patient to worship team member in under a year.

Key Scripture: Acts 17:6-7 - "These men who have turned the world upside down"

🎥 About This Session: From Verity Conference 2024 featuring Leila, who traveled from Australia to Northern Michigan. She represents the diversity we seek - different backgrounds, marital status, and cultural perspectives that show how the Gospel applies across all walks of life.

💭 Discussion Questions: What Kingdom priorities need to align in your life? How can you start "kingdom conversations" naturally? Who in your world is waiting for the Gospel? This session proves that carrying God's Kingdom isn't about big platforms - it's about faithful conversations in dentist chairs, neighborhoods, and everyday encounters.

This powerful conference session connects directly to our previous episode about our 5-month podcast break. While the last episode shared the "happy ending" of our infertility journey with baby Olivera's birth, this session was recorded in the middle of that same story - during failed fertility treatments with no promise of resolution.

In This Session:

• The demon-possessed man's story from Mark 5
• Why Jesus intentionally enters our broken stories
• How sharing your story defeats the enemy

Breaking through 4 lies that keep us silent:

• "My story is insignificant" → Your story has IMPACT
• "My story is a trigger" → Your story TRANSFORMS
• "My story is intimidating" → Your story is INTIMATE
• "My story needs a happy ending" → Your story proclaims God's goodness NOW

The Connection: This session shows what it looks like to live out faith in real time during trials, before knowing how God will answer our prayers. It's the theological foundation for everything we shared in our previous episode about living out theology in pain.

📖 Scripture Focus: Mark 5:1-20 - The healing of the demon-possessed man

💭 Discussion Questions: What story is God calling you to share? Which of the 4 lies resonates most with you? How can unfinished stories still glorify God?

Note: This session discusses miscarriage, infertility, and child safety concerns. Viewer discretion advised.

After an unexpected 5-month podcast break, we're back with our most vulnerable episode yet. While Every Woman A Theologian kept going, we had to pause the podcast to navigate some of life's biggest challenges. What does it look like to live out theology in the middle of pain and difficulty? Here's the real story of why we stepped back from podcasting and how we've had to practice what we preach in our darkest moments.

In This Episode:

• Living Out Theology in Real Life
• Why we paused the podcast
• Walking through secondary infertility and loss
• Balancing ministry travel with family crisis
• A prophetic dream that sustained our faith
• Getting ready to meet our miracle baby
• The ministry work that continued behind the scenes

🙏 Prayer Requests: Pray for baby Olivera as we welcome her into our family, and for wisdom as we navigate this new season of ministry.

• Verity Conference 2024 session reruns
