My Weapon is a Melody: The Glorious Burden of Leading Worship Rewind Worship leaders are often seen as front runners for spiritual experience and atmosphere in many churches, as they serve as singers, musicians, and songwriters. What is being a worship leader like? What do worship leaders experience? What challenges do worship leaders face? In this rewind from Season 3, Episode 5, Join Apostle Dr. Lee Ann Marino and now Worship Pastor Nik Lewis for an intimate and thoughtful conversation about leading worship: the good, the challenging, and how it serves as both a blessing and burden for those who are called into this special function. (Intro and Conclusion Track "Ready to Rock" by Yvgeniy Sorokin, https://pixabay.com/users/eugenemyers-40510887/.

New Wine Rewind We love to talk about new seasons, new experiences, and new periods, but what defines them? In this timely live message rewind (Season 1 Episode 22) preached by Apostle Dr. Lee Ann Marino at Jesus People Arts and Worship Center in Asheville, North Carolina (Pastor Tom Cash) come to insights about what God has to say to you about change - about the dangers in following every trend, news story, idea, and fad that comes along (yes, even the ones that seem good for us) and why following the crowd unto tradition can be just as problematic to keep us from our new pressings and periods as anything else. https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kingdompowernow/supporthttps://pixabay.com/users/eugenemyers-40510887/https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kingdompowernow/support

Somewhere Between a Priority and a Hard Place When faced with hard choices, how do we sort our priorities? What are these priorities, and why do they matter? Join Apostle Lee Ann Marino (SAFE Ministries, Inc.) for a look at how the government shutdown of 2025 taught her about priorities in hard places - and why all of us need to look into the decisions we make to understand the priorities we have (and where they must change).

What is Privilege? The word "privilege" is often thrown around to the cheers of some, and the offense of others. How does it relate to - shape, impact, and create - thoughts about our spiritual lives? Join Apostle Dr. Lee Ann Marino and guests Worship Pastor Nik Lewis and Minister Charlie Reep (Sanctuary Charlotte) for a conversation about all things privilege and why learning about such shows us much about our interactions with faith.

God's Got Guts (Yea, Though I Walk Through the Valley of a Shadow of a Giant Whale) The story of Jonah is etched into the memories of every Sunday School graduate. What does God help to teach us through it, and why does it matter? Far from a fancy story about marine wildlife, Jonah addresses the very idols of our lives in ways we often fail to consider. Join Apostle Dr. Lee Ann Marino for a message live at Sanctuary International Fellowship Tabernacle - SIFT in Charlotte, NC all about Jonah - and your idols.

When Belonging Hurts: A Testimony Rewind The Christian Sorority Movement has offered many women looking for spiritual fellowship and association with other women a forum for sisterhood and developing Christian bonds...but what happens when this doesn't happen? Where is one left when dealing with exclusionary behavior, a divided organization, backbiting, gossip, false accusations, leadership theft, and more? In this latest rewind from Season 1, Episode 29, Apostle Dr. Lee Ann Marino shares her experience within the Christian sorority movement, with two organizations and then a third that outgrew from an earlier one. Honest, candid, reflective, and deeply sincere, learn the ins and outs of the experience, the experience of belonging, and what, in the end, ultimately happened when she left.

Dating is Like Roses: You Have to Watch out for the Pricks Rewind No one can debate the numerous ways the internet has changed life for human beings.

Are local churches perfect? No. People are flawed and our pride prevents us from making selfless decisions all the time. But there are people out there who have taken Christ's words to heart and have more love than you'll ever find in a government building. Find them and befriend them. ⬇️

Having some thoughts about the state of our society after catching up on some headlines. Thread incoming. But the TL;DR - the government cannot save us, and we need to look elsewhere for survival and security.
