The Consecrated Podcast

In this episode, we sit down with Micah Turnbo—a man who carries a genuine, deep friendship with God and lives with a heart to make others His friends too. We talk about Micah’s early encounters with Jesus and the visions that shaped his life, not to elevate an experience, but to reveal what’s actually available to all of us. His story challenges the idea that intimacy with God is rare, and instead reminds us that connection with Him is meant to be natural, childlike, and consistent. This conversation is an invitation—back to simplicity, back to wonder, and back to real relationship with Jesus. If you’ve ever felt distant or like there’s “more,” this episode will stir your heart to believe that friendship with God is closer than you think.

In this episode, we dive into what it truly means to abandon yourself to the Lord—not as a one-time decision, but as a daily, ongoing surrender. We unpack how abandonment is less about a single moment and more about a gradual deepening of trust and devotion. Using the analogy of drinking coffee, Fedhii illustrates how what may start as a simple, intentional choice can grow into something you genuinely desire. In the same way, choosing God day by day leads to a deeper hunger for Him. As you continue to “taste and see,” your heart begins to long for more of His presence, and surrender becomes less of a discipline and more of a delight. This episode is an invitation to embrace the process—choosing Him daily, trusting that over time, your desire for God will grow into something steady, rooted, and transformative.

In this episode, we talk about how fear can cause us to cling tightly to the plans we’ve made for our lives instead of trusting the Person who leads us. When our expectations feel threatened, it’s easy to become anxious, frustrated, or even disappointed with God. Throughout Scripture, we see this tension again and again. Mary and Martha were confused when Jesus didn’t come the way they expected. Moses and the Israelites cried out in frustration in the wilderness. Even the death and resurrection of Christ unfolded in a way the disciples never anticipated. Time after time, God’s plans looked different than what people imagined—but His faithfulness never changed. In this episode, we invite listeners to loosen their grip on their own plans and hold tightly to the One who holds tomorrow. Because real peace isn’t found in everything going according to our plan—it’s found in trusting the heart of the One who is leading us.

In this powerful continuation of our conversation with Melodie and David, we dive even deeper into what it was like being raised in supernatural ministry — not just the beauty of it, but the weight of it. Children to Apostle Ricardo Di Rocco, Melodie and David give honest insight into the world behind the camera.  This episode begins with a conversation about community. In the book of Acts, after Jesus ascended, there was a moment where Scripture says no one among them had need — because they were meeting one another’s needs. We wrestle with how different that can look in the Western church today — where it’s so easy to rush in, consume a service, and rush out without ever building real connection. We also take an honest look at something we don’t talk about enough: how quickly people can attach “the Lord said” to something that may actually be rooted in insecurity, fear, or a desire to be heard. We discuss how powerful those words are — and how deeply they can affect someone’s life when they’re spoken carelessly. This conversation is reflective, challenging, and hopeful. If you haven’t listened to part one yet, we strongly encourage you to start there first so you can fully grasp the heart behind everything we unpack here.

In this second part of our conversation with Ricardo DiRocco, we continue exploring what it truly means to cultivate friendship with God. We dive deeper into the posture of the heart — especially the importance of listening. Not just speaking to God, but learning how to recognize His voice, discern truth, and trust what He reveals. Ricardo shares insights on surrender, humility, and the tension between our understanding and God’s perspective. Together, we reflect on how friendship with God requires intentionality, honesty, and a willingness to grow beyond our assumptions. This episode challenges us to slow down, pay attention, and lean into a deeper, more personal relationship with Him. If you missed part one, be sure to go back and listen — this conversation builds beautifully on that foundation.

This week, we’re releasing two episodes simultaneously—one fully in English and the other fully in Spanish. In the Spanish episode, Fedhii sits down with Ricardo Di Rocco, a traveling speaker, pastor, and evangelist who faithfully walks in the supernatural. Ricardo has witnessed countless salvations, healings, and miraculous encounters, and he has dedicated his life to stewarding God’s supernatural work. What makes his ministry truly remarkable is that it flows out of a deep friendship with God, evident in the abundant fruit that follows him. In this episode, Biiftuu continues the conversation through the eyes of Ricardo’s children, Melodie and David. In part one, we dive into their childhood experiences growing up in a supernatural environment and explore the lasting impact it’s had on their personal relationships with God. They share what it’s like to be in ministry from birth, the lessons they’ve learned during their current “carpenter seasons,” and how easy it can be to elevate the supernatural while overlooking the everyday moments where God is faithfully present. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of faith, family, and the balance between the miraculous and the mundane.

In this episode, we continue the conversation on repentance and challenge the way repentance is often understood. Rather than viewing it as shame-driven behavior management, we explore repentance as restoration — a return to communion and a meeting place with Jesus.  We also unpack the idea that God is always reaching for us. Even books like Leviticus—often misunderstood or mislabeled—reveal His heart. Beneath the laws and sacrifices is a powerful truth: they demonstrate God’s longing to dwell with His people. Because He is holy, communion requires holiness. And this is where repentance becomes a gift, not a burden — it is the gracious pathway back into restored relationship with a holy God who desires to be near. We talk about how choosing God requires intentionality. It means refusing to be ruled by emotions, impulses, or familiar temptations, and instead consistently preferring Him. There is a depth of unbroken communion available when we choose God over the comfort of unhealthy habits and patterns of thinking. The question we wrestle with is this: Are we more content remaining in what feels familiar, or do we actually desire the joy of communion with Him?

Repentance has often been misunderstood in the church. It’s been framed as heavy, shame-filled, or reserved for the moment someone first gives their life to Christ. But in this episode, we redefine it: repentance is a gift. Repentance is not a one-time act at salvation — it is a lifestyle. It is the ongoing, sacred invitation to draw closer to the heart of God. As we walk with Him and grow in intimacy, the Holy Spirit lovingly reveals areas in our lives that need pruning, healing, and refining. Not to condemn us — but to transform us. Scripture tells us in Hebrews 12:6 that “the Lord disciplines the one He loves.” His correction is not rejection. It is proof of sonship. It is the loving hand of a Father who is deeply invested in our maturity and closeness with Him. He disciplines us for our good — for holiness, for freedom, for intimacy. We look to David, a man described as a man after God’s own heart. David understood the power of repentance. He prayed in Psalm 139:23–24, “Search me, O God, and know my heart… See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” That is not the prayer of someone afraid of God — it is the prayer of someone who longs for deeper communion. When we see repentance through the lens of intimacy, it becomes beautiful. It becomes freeing. It becomes the pathway to a heart fully alive in God. This episode invites you to rediscover repentance — not as a burden, but as a doorway into deeper relationship with the Father.

This episode is a continuation of our conversation, “Is Jesus Really in the First Place?”—but this time, we turn the lens inward and ask the harder question: What happens when we are in the first place? We explore how the temptation to prioritize ourselves is often rooted in fear—the quiet doubt that asks, “If I fully trust God, will He actually come through for me?” Through the stories of the widow’s offering (Mark 12:41–44) and the woman who anointed Jesus at Bethany (Mark 14:3–9), we see powerful examples of women who had very little, yet gave everything. Their actions reveal hearts marked by full abandonment—choosing trust over self-preservation, even in the face of ridicule and lack. We unpack how Scripture is filled with promises that support a life of surrender: that our Father knows our needs, that those who seek Him lack no good thing, and that God delights in caring for His children. When we cling to control and prefer ourselves, we leave no room for Him to move—but when we release it all, we make space for a God who is faithful on the other side.
