   Confirmation Testimony | The Lord of Clarity | S2|E4

   On this episode of Fortified Follower, Mackenzie shares how God brought confirmation. She shares how confirmation comes and if it doesn't comes or if it comes at a later time, that is the confirmation. He will bring it in His divine timing. She shares the importance of writing down what you are asking God for confirmation for. She shares how asking for confirmation aligns biblically with examples from the Bible. We hear how God shows up as the God who answers. Providing her with the confirmation she needed to walk in the direction God desires. The testimony of asking, trusting, and knowing God is not a God of confusion, but a God of clarity.

   Go-kart Testimony | The Lord is Healer | S2|E2

   On this episode of Fortified Follower, we are going back to 2019. A story of a go-kart accident with Mackenzie and her dad. A crazy accident showing God's protection in the midst of it. Both had physical breaks, which lead to a season of wondering if there would ever be full restoration. It was a long season turned into a testimony of God's healing power. The Lord desires to reveal Himself as Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals. He is still a miracle working God. He still heals, saves, and protects. He does it all!Season 2: Testimony TuesdaysRevelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.Thank you for being here!

   Pilates Socks Testimony | The Lord is Provider | S2|E1

   Can God use something as simple as Pilates socks? In this episode we see God's faithfulness even in the seemingly "little" testimonies. The Lord reveals how He is provider of all things. He proves it through an $8.50 pair of Pilates socks. The Lord desires to reveal Himself as provider in our lives. To see the hand of God, we must walk in obedience to allow Him to provide for us in the way He desires. We must be good stewards of what He entrusts to us. We must remember that to whom much is given, much is required.

   The Year of the Lord's Favor | Ep. 10

   In this episode of Fortified Follower, we explore the year of the Lord’s favor by examining the prophecy Jesus fulfilled from Isaiah 61:1–2, as recorded in Luke 4:18–19. Jesus declared His mission clearly: to preach the Good News and bring freedom.We also look at those Jesus sent out during His ministry on earth—specifically the twelve disciples and the seventy-two (Luke 9 and 10). He commissioned them to do what He was doing: sharing the Gospel and bringing freedom through healing. Together, we discuss the spiritual implications of the words Jesus spoke.But this mission didn’t end with Jesus or those He sent out then, it continues with us. We begin to understand that Jesus was not referring to a specific year, but to an ongoing reality of those who believe in Him. Whenever the Gospel is proclaimed and freedom is released in the name of Jesus, that is the Lord’s favor at work.The year of the Lord’s favor began with Jesus and continues through His followers. We have been commissioned. We are called to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor by doing the works Jesus did—and even greater. You are called. As followers of Jesus, this is our commission.We are being sent out with boldness and confidence. May the Lord’s favor rest upon you as you live out the year of the Lord’s favor.

   Jesus, the Fulfillment | Ep. 9

   In this episode of Fortified Follower, we explore the powerful prophecies fulfilled through the birth of Jesus and the earliest moments of His life, as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew and cross referenced throughout Scripture. Together, we trace how God’s ancient promises, spoken through prophets centuries before, find their fulfillment in the arrival of Christ. Beginning with the fulfillment of the virgin birth (Matthew 1:23; Isaiah 7:14; Luke 1:22–37), we then journey to Bethlehem, to unfold the prophesy of a ruler coming from Bethlehem (Matthew 2:6; Micah 5:2; Luke 2:1–7). We follow the story to Egypt where Jesus is called out of Egypt as God’s Son, while also taking a look at the foreshadowing that took place with Israel in Exodus (Matthew 2:15; Hosea 11:1; Exodus 4:22; Matthew 2:13–15, 19–21), to then see how Jesus arrives at Nazareth (Matthew 2:23; Isaiah 11:1). We also highlight God’s covenant with David - that he would have offspring on the throne forever (Luke 1:32; 2 Samuel 7:4–5, 12; Psalm 89:3–4; 132:11–12; Jeremiah 33:17; Luke 1:69). The fulfilled prophecies remind us that Jesus is truly the promised Savior, that God is sovereign and intentional in all things and that He had a plan to reconcile us back to Him all along. Jesus was born to take away our sins and the sins of the world. He is the joy of our salvation, our hope for eternity, and the testament that God always keeps His promises. As we celebrate the birth of our Savior, let us always remember that His life reminds us of the greatest gift of all time, the gift of salvation that we receive when we accept Him. Praying you have a blessed Christmas and soak in the presence of the Savior. Thank you for being here! Let's become more fortified together!

   Insecurities | Ep. 8

   In this episode of Fortified Follower, we explore the role insecurities play in keeping us from stepping into the assignments God calls us to. Focusing on a portion of Moses’ story in Exodus, we discuss how he questioned his abilities and allowed his insecurities to shape his reluctant response to God’s call. We also examine God’s patient and purposeful replies, and reflect on the ways we, like Moses, sometimes wrestle with insecurities as we consider our own responses to the Lord’s leading.

   In this episode of Fortified Follower, we discuss why and how to release control to God, our loving Father. He knows best and it is freeing when we give Him control.

    The Posture of a Servant Ep. 3

    In The Posture of a Servant, we look to Jesus as a pure example of how we should posture ourselves to live a life that represents Him. We take an in-depth look at all Jesus knew when He took on the posture of a servant to wash His disciples feet - He knew the time, who His betrayer was, that He had access to everything, where He came from and where He was going, His identity, and that He was an example. Imagine if we took on this posture in our everyday lives. Base text is John 13:1-20. Y'all this is sooooo good. Join me as we learn more about humbling ourselves to take on the posture of a servant, as Jesus so preciously did! How can you intentionally serve this week?

    Consecration Ep. 2

    In this episode of Fortified Follower, we dive into the biblical meaning of consecration—both in the Old Testament and the New Testament. We explore the historical practices God’s people followed, what changed after Jesus came, and what consecration looks like for believers today. Using Strong’s Concordance (H6942 and G1457), we uncover what it means to already be consecrated in Christ while also walking in an ongoing process of consecration. You’ll also gain practical steps on how to partner with God in setting yourself apart for His purposes. Join me as we study God’s Word and discover how to live a consecrated life! To clarify - What Jesus did on the cross was for ALL people, for the forgiveness of sins. Those who choose to believe in Him receive the benefit of the cross - eternal life in Christ.
