Autumn Miles Podcast

We are all guilty of it... underestimating Jesus. Many times, we say we have the faith, yet we do not fully believe that God will come through. If we only have partial faith, we are completely underestimating what can be done in our lives.   It's time to let God show you who He is in your situation. Are you ready to let go?

The bones were NEVER meant to stay dry. Are you standing in the middle of a situation, paralyzed with fear of no way out? This week on the podcast, Autumn reminds us that the valley doesn't always have to be viewed as a terrible place. This is a place that God BROUGHT Ezekiel to. It was intentional! God wasn't going to desert Ezekiel in the valley, nor will He leave you.    God wants LIFE in your situation, are you trusting the valley?

How often do we let the feeling of fear debilitate us from doing the "scary" thing? We question stepping out in faith because we do not know what will come next.   Esther knew how this felt. She knew the costs, which could have been her very life, yet stepped out in obedience and saved the nation of Israel.   To step out IN FAITH is to step UP to what God has for you. Is it time to step up in your life?

We are so honored to have author, Oletha Barnett on our show today! Author of "Diversity of a Different Kind", Oletha is an attorney, theologian, and conflict resolution specialist! Let's face it... conflict is unavoidable! We can all relate to this book! Diversity of a Different Kind will teach you how to think differently and help you find solutions when conflicts arise. Barnett provides insight into God’s strategic plan to unify people through His design of diversity within humanity.

Have you ever changed your course based on something that someone else said to you? Others' words can hurt. They can be heart-shattering and sometimes we give them the power to change what God has already promised us.   This week, Autumn challenges us to MOVE PAST the sting of others' words. King David did it, you can too!

We are officially 100 episodes old! We’ve got a special treat as we’ve managed to wrangle our podcast team together and have a big party on today’s episode! We share some behind the scenes about the show, as well as what God has done through this show and in all of our lives (including you too)! Come and celebrate with us in what God has done! 

Your words can change a situation in just a SINGLE moment. That is all it takes. This week, Autumn challenges us to change how we use our words. How you speak about others and yourself matters. Are you ready to rise and align your words with God's?

Are you influencing people with God's words or worldly words? This is the question this week. God's words ARE transformative, yet we are so quick to speak with a worldly tongue! You have the weapon against a worldly tongue and it's called The Bible. Autumn challenges us this week to pick up God's word and let Him dictate the words that we speak. How are you letting God's word alter your words today?

Have you had some tough questions on your heart lately? Building a healthy relationship with your kids? Experiencing church hurt? Navigating tough conversations about the culture? This is NOT your typical Q&A show! Along with some surprise guests, Autumn is tackling the real questions we all have with real answers!

Last week, Autumn talked about how we sometimes get in the way of God's "yes". But how do we react when God says no? Do we get frustrated? Do we lose our faith? Should we write off God completely?   No, we press INTO the season and let our faith move our feet.  Even when God said no to His own Son, STILL Jesus persevered to the point of death on a cross for OUR salvation! The "no" does not negate our faith, instead, it presses us forward to a loving God that wants to see us grow!

When your prayer does not get answered in the way you wanted, how often do you assume God has immediately said no? We've checked the box of 'Pray for it' and immediately assume it will be answered in the way that WE want it to be answered. God gets the glory, every single time. He may be preparing you for the "yes", but you've just said the no for yourself.   This week, Autumn challenges us to align our prayer life with Scripture and let God have the final say. Are you ready to give up control?

When the enemy comes for our minds, what is our first line of defense? A phone call to our moms? Husbands? Friends? The answer should have been PRAYER. It is easy and comfortable to want to turn to anything other than prayer.  However, prayer is the FIGHTING force in our lives! It's not something to be afraid of, shy away from, or ignore when the enemy tries to steal your mind.    Over the next few weeks,  Autumn is going to challenge us to change the narrative, wake up, and allow the Lord to breathe LIFE into our dead prayer lives. The time for passive prayers is OVER, now is the time to FIGHT!

How you choose to respond to a situation can be the difference between keeping you locked up or walking in the freedom of release. We've all experienced hurt by another person, but have we paid attention to how we respond? In this episode, Autumn challenges you to pay close attention to how you respond just as Paul and Silas did. 

Are you standing in the way of a prison that Jesus is trying to lead you out of? The enemy doesn't want you to move out of that prison. The enemy wants to keep you there to keep you from being released. God wants freedom for you. He wants you to get out of your way, wake up, and follow Jesus out of that prison. Are you awake?

Sometimes you are "hidden" because you need to HEAL. God may want you hidden because you need to heal and be entirely whole for the next season and until you are healed, He is not going to release you from the hidden season. It's time to do the work of healing. Are you ready?    This is part two of a two-part message on the story of Joseph and how the Lord used a hiding season to take him even further than he knew he could go! 

Some of you have been telling yourself, “God has forgotten about my dream, He has forgotten about my desires, the desires of my heart, the different plans He has for me, He has forgotten about all those things.” But is NOT true! Just as we couldn't forget our own kids, He hasn’t forgotten US!  This is part one of a two part message on the story of Joseph and how the Lord used a hiding season to take him even further than he knew he could go! 

We hear that God loves us... but do we LET Him love us? The enemy wants us to believe that hearing, "God loves us" is a cliché, but maybe it's time to sit in the fullness of the TRUTH!   Join Autumn as she breaks down what it means to let the words of 1 Corinthians 13 pulse through our hearts and change how we understand the love of our God.

Are you in a place where you are just about out of something? God knows that there are going to be times of leanness. Especially, in your soul. There will be leanness of your resources, your patience, and your faith, but that doesn’t mean He is going to let things run out completely in you. If you are feeling in a drought, depleted, or hanging by a thread, this is the message you need today! 

Sometimes God tells us things that are hard to accept. Has God told you something HARD to hear and it's making you question Him? We have a choice, run or remain. Join Autumn as she takes a deep dive into John 6 and shows us what it looks like to remain.

You guys asked for it, and we are DELIVERING it on our podcast this week! We’ve got a FRESH look into the well-known Proverbs 31 passages of Scripture that is basically a full guide on how to be the best woman ever… totally not intimidating right? While some of us may be super intimidated by this passage, we’re diving in and showing how relatable and attainable this truly is.
