Episode notes
Life Review Shows Unseen Impact
- Near-death experiences often include a life review that reveals the unseen ripple effects of kindness or harm.
- Jen recommends Imagine Heaven and uses NDE accounts to encourage evangelistic hope.
Yield To God In Spiritual Battles
- Fight spiritual battles by yielding to God: hide in Jesus, be still, and let Him fight rather than trying to wield authority yourself.
- Cultivate Mary-in-Martha-world posture: sit at His feet instead of controlling outcomes.
Fasting Moves You Into The Holy Spirit's Flow
- Fasting doesn't give more Holy Spirit but removes our obstruction so we yield into His flow.
- Jen calls fasting ‘meekness practice’: strength yielded to the Holy Spirit to remove hidden barriers.
