Fire Keepers tend the fire at Amy Grant's ranch and there's a lot to learn about life on the farm in this episode. Join Amy Elaine and LaTan as we chat with Amy Grant about the art of tending the fire in our own lives.

We'll leave you with this question to ask yourself: What areas of my life need tending? The fire starts in us. When we've been a good friend to ourselves, then we can love others well. And, extend an invitation for them to come sit by the fire. 

Find out what the 3 things Amy tells us to ask or pray for when you tend the fire at the farm. And, from there we moved into a beautiful conversation about reconciliation, staying connected, and learning to keep your hands on your your own wheel instead of trying to be in control of everyone else's. 

All are welcome around this fire. So come, grab a cup of coffee, and pull up a chair. We'd love for you to listen in to this episode of Past to Power with Amy Elaine Martinez & LaTan Roland Murphy.

Fire Keepers Amy Grant EP 133 Past to Power

The Grace Parade is such a beautiful picture of what God does in our lives. We can't wait to share this week's episode with you. 
On today's show, we have special guest, Janell Rardon joining us. Her new book,  "Stronger Every Day: 9 Tools for an Emotionally Healthy You." is a must read. Listen in and find out why.

The Power of Sharing Our Stories- speaking healing words to your future. How we can move through lives with positive assertiveness. (Pg 138- Tool 5, Stronger Every Day: 9 Tools for an Emotionally Healthy You by Janell Rardon)
Janell shares a beautiful story of moving beyond the sting of shame into the life God had designed for her.

There is freedom waiting for us on the other side of sharing our stories. 


She is clothes in strength and dignity. Psalm 31:25


POWERFUL REGRET QUOTE 

“Regret is a short, evocative and achingly beautiful word: an elegy to lost possibilities …To admit regret is to understand that we are fallible - that there are powers beyond us… fully experienced, it turns our eyes, attentive and alert, to a future possibly lived better than our past." ~ David Whyte, poet

Walk of shame turned into a walk of grace. 

No smell of fire on you. (Daniel 3:36-37) When we turn our lives over to God, there comes a point where we are so removed from our past and our sin that others won't believe who we were because now they see WHO WE WERE MEANT TO BE IN CHRIST.  

PIVOTAL POINT IN BOOK- discusses the Game of Thrones
Season 5 Finale- If you've experienced shame, it will ring a bell for you.  While the LIAR calls, "shame, shame, shame...." Jesus' voice affirms your true identity in Christ, This is a powerful scene and you won't want to miss Janell's insight. 

Book Recommendation from Janell:
The Soul of Shame Dr. Curt Thompson

We all have a shame attendant. We like to call him, LIAR, because that's exactly what he's does. Our enemy is hellbent on lying to us. Yet, Jesus wants to speak Truth over us because that is Who He is. The Way, The Truth, The Life! 

THE GRACE PARADE

Now, God walks behind us and before us saying, “GRACE, GRACE!”

We can be stronger every day because of He who is in us. (1 John 4:4)

Look for this Affirmation in the book:  Shame Shake Off- 

Prayer:
Father, you are a God who sends a parade of grace before us. Thank you for making us stronger every day! Amen.

A Jesus encounter changes everything. - page 142, Stronger Every Day by Janell Rardon

We are all on a journey. Healing doesn’t happen in isolation. We need to be with one another and encourage one another. 

Janell is a Life Coach, Author, and Therapist. She lives in VA with her husband. Her website is a wealth of information. We can't encourage you enough to go check it out. (You are welcome ;) )

Perfect Peace with Kim Alexis EP 135 Past to Power

Where is God in our suffering? 
After the 2009 shootings at the YWAM campus in Denver, this question burned on the hearts of our community. Like all tragedies, those left behind are left to ponder this question. This weekend’s show features Peter Warren of YWAM ! 
Peter wrote his book, “When the Shooting Stopped: Where is God When We Suffer” in the wake of this tragedy and his own grief. As a leader, he needed these answers as much as those around him. This book is really “a defense of God’s character.” 

Join us for some great insight from renowned author, teacher, preacher, and Jesus Freak, Peter Warren! He speaks right into the heart of the suffering we’ve experienced in the past year and we’re honored to share this interview with you! 

Connect with Peter to get a copy of his book at https://peterwarrenministries.com 

Join your host Amy Elaine Martinez and LaTan Roland Murphy each week for inspiration to Go Courageously & Live Victoriously! We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

Where is God in Suffering? Peter Warren EP 136 Past to Power

In this episode, we’re talking about the power of the words we speak over ourselves.

IT’S NOT NATURAL, WE KNOW…
Speaking life over ourselves doesn’t always come naturally. It’s easier to say great things about others than over ourselves. In this week’s Past to Power episode Amy Elaine and LaTan have a great conversation about how to be kinder to ourselves.

Something powerful happens when we learn to speak kindly to ourselves.

Instead of feeling defeated, we become confident about who we are in Christ. Knowing our identity and agreeing with what God says about us allows us to walk out our best life. If necessary, make yourself a note and stick it on the fridge. No more comparing, complaining, and criticizing, be kind to ourselves.


WORDS LIKE HONEY
Try speaking kindly to yourself when you look in the mirror in the morning. Perhaps, you don’t know what to say. God’s Word is a great place to start if you’re at a loss for words. Pick up the Psalms to nourish your soul. Most importantly, find scriptures to refresh and renew your thoughts.

“Gracious speech is like clover honey— good taste to the soul, quick energy for the body.” Proverbs 16:24 MSG
We’d love to hear your thoughts about how to stay positive when speaking to ourselves. If possible, leave us a comment and a thumbs up on the podcast. You can hear all our previous episodes by tuning into YouTube, SoundCloud, Spotify, and Apple. Here’s a link to a recent episode with author, Janell Rardon. Grace upon grace over you.

Hide or Seek EP 138 Past to Power Podcast

Welcome to the official channel of Amy Elaine Ministries! We're excited to launch our brand new podcast, The Grace Frontier with Amy Elaine Martinez. Grace paves the way. Victory is your destiny. Each week Amy Elaine will be introducing a Defining Moment to help take the next step as you better understand your calling. 

The Wilderness can be a lonely place, but when we Journey with Jesus, we'll find WONDERS along the way. 

In these short podcasts, Amy Elaine will help you encounter God through a quick Bible teaching that points you to your True North, Jesus. X marks the spot where grace collides with our everyday circumstances creating God-moments we can experience the greater things we're made for in John 14:12. Jesus said, "I tell you this timeless truth: The person who follows me in faith, believing in me, will do the same mighty miracles that I do–even greater miracles than these because I go to be with my Father." (TPT) 

Now is the time for God's daughters (and sons) to let grace pave the way to the victorious life Jesus died to give us. As you listen in each week, you will learn to see yourself as a Trail Blazer, Atmosphere Changer, and Pioneer on The Grace Frontier. 

"Yes, God is more than ready to overwhelm you with every form of grace, so that you will have more than enough of everything–every moment and in every way. He will make you overflow with abundance in every good thing you do." 2 Corinthians 9:8 (TPT)

Grace upon grace is found as we journey with Jesus on The Grace Frontier. Saddle up your horses, it's gonna be a wild ride; a great adventure awaits you. 

The Grace Frontier has moved from Sound Cloud; new episodes are now hosted through BuzzSprout and are updated on Apple and Spotify. This Sound Cloud account will close 5/2023. So, please follow us elsewhere to continue getting the most up to date episodes.
