82. Being Courageous to NOT Avoid Difficult Conversations

Do you find yourself avoiding difficult conversations? Or have you accepted that you avoid conflict? God desires for us to be at peace with one another. Being at peace doesn’t mean avoiding. Often when we avoid, it’s because of fear. In this episode, you will learn what hard conversations are, why we avoid them, what happens when we do avoid, and how to step into being courageous instead.  Some hard conversations are giving honest productive feedback, having hard meetings and emotionally charged decision making. We can often avoid because we are afraid of others’ responses, don’t want to be vulnerable, we are afraid of looking bad or we just don’t have time to take on the emotional issues in the moment. When we avoid difficult conversations, our functioning can be impaired, trust can decrease, toxic culture can be created and there can be broken friendships and families. Come and be transformed in this episode with increased courage to not avoid hard conversations. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. ~Romans 12:18 (NIV) Find more about Heidi: www.heidimortensonlmft.com Purchase the book The Brave Encourager: https://www.amazon.com/Brave-Encourager-Power-Encouragement-Changes/dp/B09TN45H36/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3HGP5FPY2E5GD&keywords=the+brave+encourager&qid=1646608516&sprefix=the+brave+encourager%2Caps%2C223&sr=8-1 Join my mailing list: https://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/t5u2y5 If you are in crisis, help is available by call or text 1-800-273-8255 24/7.

81. Holy Spirit Transformation in Your Current Reality With Staci Wallace

Staci has experienced suicidal depression, house fire and divorce. She has had a billion dollar success and was also waiting for which pink slip to pay. Staci now loves to help people make their set backs to become a come back. The chapter you are in is a CHAPTER. You just need to get past that chapter and turn the page. The pen is in your hand. What happened to you yesterday is only information that will lead to transformation. You can do one thing to get 1% closer to your dreams. Our emotions and our trauma cause us to look at our history or we’re looking too far froward and get depressed. The gap between our ideal life and our current reality is where depression and anxiety live. It’s also where the Holy Spirit lives. Holy Spirit is in our now. We have 2 voices. The voice of the enemy who wants to take us out. The voice of Holy Spirit whispering to us “get up”. We need to just trust that what God promises would happen that He who began a work in you will be faithful to complete it. It’s not being lazy, it’s being intentional. Neuroplasticity is a real thing. God can reprogram our brains. Your purpose is to reflect God daily through being YOU.  For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. ~Jeremiah 29:11 Sign-up for Staci’s FREE 7-day Life & Business Reset at fbfchallenge.com and use “HEIDI” as the referral.

80. Encouragement for Your Heart and Mental Health

Do you need some encouragement?  There are many of us who are on this rabbit trail of busyness and exhaustion, and we don’t know how to get free from it. Listen to this inspiring episode where you will hear encouragement no matter where you are at with your mental health. You will learn about the cognitive triangle – our thoughts, emotions and behaviors, and how a wrong thought can quickly exhaust us. We hold onto things that we think we need to hold onto, but God wants to take our burdens and encourage us. You are unique, special and amazing. There is a purpose and calling on your life and many missions are in front of you. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” ~Matthew 11:28 Find more about Heidi: www.heidimortensonlmft.com Purchase the book The Brave Encourager: https://www.amazon.com/Brave-Encourager-Power-Encouragement-Changes/dp/B09TN45H36/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3HGP5FPY2E5GD&keywords=the+brave+encourager&qid=1646608516&sprefix=the+brave+encourager%2Caps%2C223&sr=8-1 Join my mailing list: https://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/t5u2y5 If you are in crisis, help is available by call or text 1-800-273-8255 24/7.

79. Utilizing Prophesy during Difficulties

How can we use prophecy? How can we go from heavy stuff to declaring what God says? When we have depression, anxiety or issues with people in our life, it can be hard to even pray during these times, let alone prophesy. In this episode, you will learn more about the gift of prophesy and how you can use it during struggling times. We can often shy away from these gifts because of what we grew up with, what people have said, or lack of understanding. But the Bible is clear: we are to seek the gift of prophesy. In this episode, you will experience some teaching, the Word, prayer and prophesy. You will step into a bigger place of hope for the more of God by prophesying when we are in the midst of difficulties. “Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed”. ~1 Corinthians 12:1 “Now eagerly desire the greater gifts. And yet I will show you the most excellent way”. ~1 Corinthians 12:31 Find more about Heidi: www.heidimortensonlmft.com Purchase the book The Brave Encourager: https://www.amazon.com/Brave-Encourager-Power-Encouragement-Changes/dp/B09TN45H36/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3HGP5FPY2E5GD&keywords=the+brave+encourager&qid=1646608516&sprefix=the+brave+encourager%2Caps%2C223&sr=8-1 Join my mailing list: https://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/t5u2y5 If you are in crisis, help is available by call or text 1-800-273-8255 24/7.

78. Jesus is a Friend of Satanists with Adele Vrey

Adele was born in a Satanic cult and was a victim of Satanic Ritual Abuse until the age of 19. She gave her life to Christ after a failed kidnapping and murder attempt. She has now been in ministry for 27 years. Adele admits people have a hard time believing her testimony and they often turn a blind eye. Along with the abuse in the cult, she also experienced emotional, sexual and physical abuse. She was diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and was in counseling and inner healing for years but received complete healing and integration. Adele shares how we need to associate with our emotions and the trauma attached to it. We have to confront what the enemy tries to take from us. You will hear an amazing story of transformation and how Jesus loves the lost, no matter what. There isn’t a difference between a satanist and those of us who were not saved, there is no degree of being lost. Jesus didn’t just hang out with Christians. He hung out with sinners. Adele doesn’t just “share the gospel”, she builds relationships. Jesus is a relational God and He has a way to touch people in the secret place. Adele is an author, itinerary minister, teacher and counselor in South Africa. *Be aware that this podcast contains highly sensitive material.

77. Deliverance 101 for Mental Health Healing

We hear the word deliverance thrown around and we either are very aware of it or we haven’t heard much. Or we’ve heard the doctrine that Christians can’t be demonized so we can just ignore any talk about deliverance. What is deliverance and do you actually need it? In this episode, I will give some basic deliverance 101 teachings, tips and prayers. When you turn a light on in a dark room, there is no more darkness. There is NO room for darkness in the light. We need to understand deliverance and the power of demons so we aren’t in the dark with how the enemy tries to twist things. It’s not weird. Deliverance is getting rid of lies we believe and believing the truth of how loved we are. It’s the refining process of becoming more like Jesus and less like our flesh and the world. More important that focusing on demons is spending time with our Maker, Jesus Christ. If we are in the dark about the enemy, we will stay in the darkness. Be encouraged as your authority over the darkness grows from this episode. “Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world”. ~1 John 4:4 (KJV) Find more about Heidi: www.heidimortensonlmft.com Purchase the book The Brave Encourager: https://www.amazon.com/Brave-Encourager-Power-Encouragement-Changes/dp/B09TN45H36/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3HGP5FPY2E5GD&keywords=the+brave+encourager&qid=1646608516&sprefix=the+brave+encourager%2Caps%2C223&sr=8-1 Join my mailing list: https://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/t5u2y5 If you are in crisis, help is available by call or text 1-800-273-8255 24/7.

76. Do I Need Deliverance or Inner Healing? with Michael Norton

What is the difference between deliverance and inner healing? How do we know if we have a demon or is it a behavioral issue? Michael is an ordained spiritual warfare minister, exorcist, spiritual director, and Christian counselor. He has experience in haunted houses, working with cult survivors, doing exorcisms, and seeing angels and demons. While these things may seem like they are way out there in the spirit, Michael brings it down to the most important thing in his life: having conversations with Jesus. In this episode, you will learn the difference between being psychic and prophetic and what a “fear meter” with witchcraft is. Michael discusses what it means to be “slimed” and what you can do if that happens to you. You will learn how to know when something is demonic or behavioral. He shares that most of the time it isn’t a demon, and people in ministry and counseling often miss the diagnosis of the fractured self = dissociative identity disorder  (DID). Michael demystifies many things of the spirit and tells engaging and inspiring stories on the front lines of his powerful M16 ministry.  Michael’s website: www.afg2sw.com To purchase Michael’s books: https://www.amazon.com/Cosmology-Demonology-Genesis-1-11-Regional-ebook/dp/B09XQSB68J/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2BINW7M8QWUV0&keywords=michael+norton+cosmology+and+demonology&qid=1662064463&sprefix=michael+norton+cosmology+and+demonology%2Caps%2C80&sr=8-1 https://www.amazon.com/Field-Guide-Advanced-Spiritual-Warfare/dp/0692889922/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=michael+norton+books&qid=1662064421&sprefix=michael+norton%2Caps%2C330&sr=8-4 Find more about Heidi: www.heidimortensonlmft.com If you are in crisis, help is available by call or text 1-800-273-8255 24/7.

75. Testimony from Bullying, Stripping and Prostitution to Deliverance Warrior with Angela Greenig

Angela Greenig is a general of the faith and has been in ministry for 43 years. She came from an illegitimate marriage, poverty, was violated at the young age of 4, and experienced hatred and bullying her whole childhood. At the age of 9 she was selling drugs and eventually got into stripping and prostituting. She was told she was stupid and would never amount to anything. She believed she had no value and felt like trash. But God saw her and showed her that she was worthy and has value in the Kingdom of God. Angela is now a powerful seer/warrior for Jesus Christ and a leading force in deliverance ministry. She has authored several books and is on many media networks. She is God’s hands and feet and a voice for the nations. She loves fiercely and is a pit bull in the spirit. She believes that when you do something for someone else and do it with a pure heart and pure love, God says “than you have served me”. You will hear about her testimony, how she overcame it and spiritual secrets she has learned from the battlefield. She shares about the lying spirit, the spirit of bondage and how we have become so numb that we are dead to ourselves. There is a lot of powerful anointing in this episode to break the yoke of the enemy. Get ready for a firehose of the Holy Spirit to be encouraged, inspired, and transformed as you listen! “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds.” ~2 Corinthians 10:4 “You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.” ~Isaiah 26:3 Angela’s website: https://www.angelagreenig.com Angela’s Instagram: @atgreenig If you are in crisis, help is available by call or text 1-800-273-8255 24/7.

74. The Impact of the Religious Spirit on Mental Health

You might hear that people are really religious or someone else has a “religious spirit”. The definition of religion is actually controversial, and scholars haven’t even agreed on it. The religious spirit is a type of demonic spirit where people believe they need to earn salvation. This episode will break down the harm and pain the religious spirit can cause on our mental health and what we can do about it. We don’t realize how un-free we are when we continue to do things instead of allowing ourselves to be. The suggestions and prayers in this episode will bring freedom to your soul. For example, being “religious” about good things is not all bad (like going on dates with your spouse), and sometimes we need to do different things to get out of the religious box we are in that keep us from seeing the MORE of God (like attending a different church). God is a good father and desires freedom for us and our loved ones. “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.”—2 Corinthians 11:13-14 “For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by works, lest anyone should boast.”—Ephesians 2:8-9 To hear me speak in Minnesota or to support MACC: www.yourmacc.com Find more about Heidi: www.heidimortensonlmft.com Purchase the book The Brave Encourager: https://www.amazon.com/Brave-Encourager-Power-Encouragement-Changes/dp/B09TN45H36/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3HGP5FPY2E5GD&keywords=the+brave+encourager&qid=1646608516&sprefix=the+brave+encourager%2Caps%2C223&sr=8-1 Join my mailing list: https://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/t5u2y5 If you are in crisis, help is available by call or text 1-800-273-8255 24/7.
