Carry The Gospel: How One Conversation Changed Everything
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. 📅 Verity Conference 2025: October 3-4 (Online) Register: https://verityconference.com 🔗 Related Sessions: Previous episode: "Speak Your Story": https://youtu.be/2eBvqREYK7k Coming up: More Verity 2024 sessions!

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.

158 | Speak Your Story: How Your Testimony Changes the World
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 enemyBreaking 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 🎥 From Verity Conference 2024 Want more sessions like this?

155 | Do Christians Need to Obey Old Testament Law?
Salvation is found through faith in Jesus Christ alone—a truth that stands in contrast to a growing movement in the West of “Torah Observant Christians” who argue that Gentile believers must follow Old Testament laws to secure salvation. Phylicia, however, emphasizes a key distinction: while Jewish Christians may observe these laws as part of their cultural heritage and historical connection, such practices are not necessary for salvation. ————————————————Mentioned in this episode⭐️ Understanding the Old Testament Course: https://phyliciamasonheimer.com/product/understanding-the-old-testament-course/⭐️ Freedom from Legalism Course: https://phyliciamasonheimer.com/product/freedom-from-legalism-course/⭐️ Who the Son Sets Free | Galatians Bible Study: https://phyliciamasonheimer.com/product/galatians-bible-study/————————————————👩💻 Watch the entire Series on How to Discern False Teaching: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLybB3dkK5l8kNmt90OhxUDmJ0uoFQ5NXVSubscribe to Verity Podcast: ➡️ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/verity-by-phylicia-masonheimer/id1495210734————————————————Verity Podcast is an Every Woman a Theologian company.
