The Kris Vallotton Podcast

What you think about you matters and what you say about you matters (verbally and internally). Your thoughts should not control you, you should control them. In this week’s podcast, I share about the importance of controlling your thoughts, how to control your thoughts, and how to renew those thoughts in order for you to be victorious in every aspect of your life.

Many people reduce their lives to accommodate their fear, but let me remind you fear is not your friend. God tells us, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” In this week's podcast, I share my eight attributes of courage and encourage you to find a new level of perseverance and courage within yourself.

In this week’s podcast, I share about the values I was brought up with such as, “dog eat dog”, “get yours before they get theirs”, “don't trust anyone”, etc. and how God had to teach me that if I trust Him, I don’t have to trust me to make everything happen. Living in God’s Kingdom means He takes better care of me than the bird’s of the air or even King Solomon. The foundation of that kingdom is honor. I believe the Lord wants to reveal the pathway to honor and the pathway to growing in His favor. Listen now to hear more!

I had the opportunity to teach on Father’s Day last week, and in honor of father’s I want to share that message with you today. I believe we are in a season when the ugliness of fatherlessness is becoming the beauty of family values and legacy living through men rising to the occasion and not cowering in fear. We are being thrust into this place where we are becoming catalysts to a revolution that is transforming the family and setting our children up for success.

In this week’s podcast, I share a recent revelation the Lord gave me — we are no longer going through a transition, we are going through a metamorphosis. Transitioning is a process of going from one season to another, but a metamorphosis isn’t about changing seasons it’s about changing us. I believe we have moved into a new season where the Lord is breaking off the things that once served us well, but that we actually no longer need.

Prayer is an act of leadership as it authorizes God to do His will on the earth. In this podcast, I teach about being seated in heaven with Christ and I hope to encourage you to step into our divine identity and pray prayers that will shape the world.

King Solomon said, “The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold, but people are tested by their praise.” (Proverbs 27:21) Abraham Lincoln put it this way, “Nearly all men can stand in adversity, but if you want to know a man’s character, give him power.” This week, I share about the importance of authority—having it and submitting to it.

Did you know that in the story of the ten minas, the reward for stewarding money well is getting more responsibility? In this podcast, I teach on the principles of how the favor of God works as exemplified in Luke 19. If the Lord gives you $500 more than you need, but then you figure out how to cause the money you were given to make money—if you can create an ecosystem—the Lord says you should be over cities. The men in Luke 19 are responsible for, let’s say, $500, but his next promotion is 10 cities! My point is, oftentimes the Lord gives us a reward and we think that we’re overwhelmed. Often the challenge is, we complain about the reward, not realizing that the responsibility is the reward. We have the privilege of being responsible for feeding more people, having the responsibility for more cities, etc. The reason I think that this is really profound right now is that I feel the Lord saying, we need to be the ones to give people something to eat like the story of feeding the 5,000. Many look at the world and are asking the Lord to take care of all of the issues and problems and wanting Him to get rid of them. But I feel like the Lord is saying, “You give them something to eat.” I believe that in darkness, it is our time to rise. The reality is, we’re about to do the great exchange—beauty for ashes, joy for mourning. As we are rising, we are going to get a reward, and that reward is more responsibility. And if we aren’t careful we will cross the street thinking we don’t have what it takes. But the Lord wants to co-labor with us. Scripture: Luke 19:11-26, Luke 9:1-17, Matthew 25:14-31, Exodus 18, Numbers 11:1-25, Isaiah 61:2-4, 1 Corinthians 3:9

How do we practically build a healthy family? In this podcast, I share stories and life lessons that taught me how to walk in the fullness of covenant and allow trials to strengthen our connection. I hope this teaching will empower you to count it all joy in suffering and know that the Lord can work out anything for our good!

Only love can bring transformation! In this podcast, I explain how love expressed, person to person, is the key for transformation. As the body of Christ, it is our responsibility and privilege to extend love to one another!
