Equip & Empower Podcast with Christine Caine

It is usually quite easy to have faith and trust God when everything in life is smooth sailing, isn’t it? But what do you do when you find yourself facing a massive challenge? Maybe it’s a daunting financial setback, a relationship you’ve been longing for, a marriage in need of restoration, or an unsettling health diagnosis. Whatever it is, when we find ourselves face to face with an enormous mountain in our way, we are usually tempted to strategize and scheme our way around it. But there is another way - a better way - and that is to keep trusting God, to hold onto hope, and to have faith for the impossible. Scripture tells us that our faith can amaze Jesus, that our faith can open the door for God to work miracles in our life. This episode will empower you to build the kind of faith that believes for miracles even in the most impossible of situations.

You’re not the only one who wants your life to be as abundant, joy-filled, and fruitful as possible—that’s exactly what God wants for you too. And he has a plan for you that is greater than you can even think or imagine. But here’s the question: are you willing to wait for it? Sometimes we miss out on the best life we could experience because we grow weary of waiting on God’s timing and settle for “good enough” instead. Before we know it, we find ourselves relying on our own power and strength, striving to fulfill our purpose rather than living from God’s strength available to us. This episode will empower you to stir up your passion to wait for God—for his purpose, plan, and destiny for your life—so you can experience the abundant, joy-filled, fruitful life you dream of.

If you’re having a tough time getting through a challenging season, be encouraged with this truth: God has always got your back. You might be tempted to think that when you’re facing setbacks, you’re on your own. But nothing could be further from the truth. God is always on your side and is always with you. And he won’t just get you through the tough times, he will use them to reveal things he wants you to know and to unlock areas of brokenness in you that he wants to heal. Just don’t give up. If you feel lost, the Lord will find you. If it’s dark where you are, know that Jesus sees you. This episode will empower you to turn to Jesus for the hope and strength you need to get through what you’re going through and trust that he’s got your back through it all.

Spiritual maturity may not sound super exciting—at first. But it can be the critical difference-maker between leading fruitful lives we love or spending our days feeling purposeless and frustrated. Spiritual maturity isn’t about age or a behavior modification system, it’s about allowing God to completely invade our hearts, making us more like him every day as he transforms us from the inside out. Without it, things like fear, bitterness, anger, or a negative perspective may keep us from doing everything God has called us to do and being all he has created us to be. This episode will empower you to keep growing in spiritual maturity so you can make a positive impact in the world as you live out your God-given purpose.

God, have you forgotten me? Am I being punished? What’s going on because I just don’t get it. Anyone been there? Doubts can start to creep in when we think God isn’t answering our prayers and we have no idea how long the silence will last. In these times, it’s tempting to rely solely on our own logic to try to make sense of it. But if we trust that God’s thoughts are greater, wiser, and far more powerful than ours can ever be, then we must also believe there’s a lot in this life we’re just not going to understand. And even when things don’t make sense to our earthly minds, we can have hope because we can trust the character of God. Our Heavenly Father is always good, only does good, and works all things for our good.This episode will empower you to find hope, defeat doubt, and live with joyful expectation even when life doesn’t seem to make sense.

It’s a normal part of being human to feel a bit worn out on occasion simply from the challenges of everyday life. But if you’re feeling hopeless, exhausted, and helpless day after day, your soul could be telling you that it’s wounded and weary and in need of some hope. A weary soul makes life’s challenges even harder to handle. But no matter how overwhelming things may appear in times of stress or when pain from your past resurfaces, hope is available to you through Jesus. He is here, he has your back, and he wants you to know that your restoration and renewal are coming—but you can’t give up. This episode will empower you to trust that God truly has your back and invite him to do his healing work in you to refresh and renew your soul.

What’s on your mind when heading to a party or just before you’re about to walk into the first day of class or a new job? We might naturally be preoccupied with things like, What will I say? Will they like me? How do I look? But what if just before entering a room we instead wondered, how can I bring light and love to this place? We’d go from self conscious and uncertain to bold and confident as we allow God’s love to work through us. How we interact with people can be the most impactful testimony of God’s truth and transformative power. This episode will empower you to be a conduit of grace, love, and kindness as you share your faith with confidence.

What holds you back from telling people about Jesus; from sharing with people how he has transformed your life and is waiting to transform theirs as well? One reason many people give is that they don’t feel qualified. But here’s the truth: if you have encountered Jesus, not only does that qualify you to share him with others, it compels you to! And it doesn’t have to be complicated. Our role in God’s Kingdom is simply to make him known. To share the story of how Jesus has altered the course of our life for the better, how he has filled us with joy and peace and given us a purpose in life that we are passionate about. This episode will empower you to boldly share your story with others so they too can experience the freedom you have found through a relationship with Jesus.

The journey to fulfill our calling in life is not usually a short trip. In fact, it’s often a long road with some inevitable bumps along the way. And, if we’re not careful, we will stumble into weariness and get stuck. But with a dependable source of fuel and strength, we can have the stamina, passion, and perseverance needed to pursue our dreams, fulfill our purpose, change the world, and remain fruitful throughout our lives. And there is actually only one place we can find that dependable source of fuel—in Jesus. This episode will empower you to lean on Jesus for strength, passion, and joy as you seek to become who he has called you to be and do what he has called you to do.

When you find yourself longing for transformation in your life—for more joy, more peace, more fulfillment—chances are you start a list of all of the circumstances that need to change to get you there. We find ourselves believing that as soon as we get a better job, further our education, find a romantic partner, get healthy or make more money then our life will be all that we’ve ever dreamed about. But God’s Word tells us that’s just not the case. Changes in circumstances will not bring about the transformation we’re longing for. If we want to see transformation in our lives—if we want to experience the abundant life God created us for—we’ve got to get serious about the way we think. This episode will empower you to stop the negative thought spirals, change your perspective, and renew your mind with the truth of God’s Word so you can experience a life of peace, strength, and purpose—regardless of your circumstances.

In this special bonus episode, Christine answers some of your questions about leadership including: How can I keep pride from creeping in as I lead? How do I “do it all” without burning out?

When we are up against a situation that seems impossible - a setback we don’t see a way around, a financial pit we don’t see a way out of, or a broken relationship we can’t see reconciliation for - choosing to trust God no doubt feels hard, and maybe even uncomfortable. But trusting God, especially in the hard times, is essential for living a life of peace, joy, and purpose. And the good news is that as you spend more time with God, and learn more and more about his character and faithfulness, your ability to trust him will grow. This episode will empower you to build a solid foundation for trusting that God has your back, that he’s always at work on your behalf, even in the hardest of times.

Whether we realize it or not, we all search for something or someone to give us what we need. Maybe it’s a sense of significance, security, protection, affirmation, or strength. We may look to money, ambition, self-reliance, or our friend’s approval—whatever we think we fulfill that we need to feel secure and happy. Here’s the problem: anything we turn to for comfort and peace outside of Jesus will eventually let us down. But Jesus? He will never let you down. He is with you in every season and the only reliable source of everything you will ever need. This episode will empower you to follow your Good Shepherd, Jesus, who wants to lead you toward a thriving, peaceful, and powerful life under his loving care and protection.

What’s your response when the inevitable challenges of life come your way? Is it to run and hide in bitterness and anger? Or is it to face the challenges head on with hope and faith that the God who brought you to it will get you through it? Jesus has already won the victory, but we have to choose whether to live like we believe that. And when we choose to live from victory in the face of setbacks, we are declaring the goodness and hope of Jesus to everyone around us. This episode will empower you to inspire those around you to hold onto hope, even when things don’t go your way, by learning to see, focus on, and be thankful for the good God does in your life.

Do you remember who first introduced you to Jesus? The person who changed the course of your life by telling you about the One who changed the course of theirs? Oftentimes, we make evangelism way more complicated than we need to. It can be as simple as knowing Jesus and noticing people around us. People we encounter everyday - at work, at school, at the grocery store - are just waiting to be seen. People are waiting to be shown love and kindness and be told someone cares. This episode will empower you to change someone’s life simply by being a conduit of the life-changing love of Jesus.

You were created by your loving Father on purpose and for his divine purpose. He has amazing plans for you at every age and stage of your life. But there can be seasons when we feel like we’re not on track for the best he has for us. We're not where we want to be, we may not have the same passion for our mission, or we’re just straight up confused about what we want. How did we get here? We've drifted. Drifting happens when we float along with life’s currents and—while we aren't paying attention—we get carried off further and further away from our hopes, dreams, and passions. If you’ve ever veered off course and wondered, how did I get here, know this: God has made a way back for you—a way to anchor your soul—a way to lead you to the peace, purpose and destiny he’s prepared for you. In this episode, Christine reads Chapter 2 from her new book “How Did I Get Here?” She shares how we are invited to lean into God’s Word to resist drifting from our purpose and to help propel us back on the course for an amazing future designed for us by God himself.

We can all drift in life—away from our hopes, vision, passions, values, intentions, or even God—if we’re not paying attention. The Bible tells us, Pay attention, lest you drift (Hebrews 2:1). Like a rudderless boat at sea, it’s the slow, small changes in the currents that we allow to go unnoticed that can so deceptively sweep us far off our course. Without even realizing it’s happening, we can find ourselves, wondering What happened—this isn’t what I wanted—how did I get here? In this episode, Christine reads the first chapter of her new book “How Did I Get Here?”. In the book, she opens up about her failings and victories—and the many times in between when she fell into a desperate heap to the floor! Through these experiences she shows how you can anchor your soul and keep steady on the Rock, immovable, and on course toward the best that God has for you—regardless of the storms in life.

Have you ever found yourself in a place in life you hadn't intended to go and then wondered, “How did I end up here?” Maybe you were dealt a setback, felt unsettled about the world, or faced an uncertain future. You knew It’s like you’d drifted off course, but weren’t sure when, why, or what to do about it. Drifting robs us of the energy, vision, and passion we need to move forward with confidence. When Christine found herself in one of those “How did I end up here?” places got to this point in her life a couple of years ago, she couldn’t hide her shock and God mercifully intervened to show her how to get back on track. Listen in as Christine reads the opening to her new book on this very topic and vulnerably shares her own experience of wanting to ring the bell.

In this special bonus episode, Christine answers some of your questions about how to hold onto hope while navigating disappointment. Questions we cover include: How can we process disappointment in a healthy way? How do you know when to let go and when to keep believing God for something you really want? As a parent, do you have any tips for leading kids through disappointment? How can I keep leading well during a season of grief and disappointment? After so much disappointment in life, how do I navigate around fear so I can be open to all that God has for me?

You’ve probably heard the saying “no rest for the weary.” Well I’m here to tell you that as believers, that doesn’t have to be true! It is possible to develop an eternally youthful perspective, to avoid being overcome by weariness, and to stay passionate no matter how many trips around the sun you take. The secret is to pay attention to the condition of your heart. As followers of Jesus, we can remain young at heart and passionate about living a life of God-given purpose even when life gets hard and the days get long. This episode will empower you to go to Jesus to receive the daily heart renewal and rest that will keep you from growing weary.

Does life often feel like you’re stuck on an emotional roller coaster with lots of ups and downs? No matter how hard you try, you just can’t seem to find lasting peace and joy? Life does come with challenges, to be sure, but God’s people aren’t meant to live in cycles of feeling fine one minute and weighed down with anxiety, hopelessness, or disappointment the next. When we find ourselves stuck in that cycle, it’s time to do a soul check and identify what keeps robbing our peace. This episode will empower you to discover a path to lasting peace and wholeness by inviting Jesus to heal your wounds, not just fix them temporarily.

It’s easy to say we are walking by faith when everything in life is smooth sailing. But what happens when you’ve prayed long and hard for something and you don’t get the answer you wanted? You asked God, and you felt sure that he wanted it for you too. Yet you didn’t land that great job, your kids didn’t return to church, the relationship you’ve been working on hasn’t been reconciled. We may feel confused, hurt, disappointed, or possibly even abandoned. So what do you do? This is where faith is put to the test, where it has the opportunity to grow deeper within us. This episode will empower you to choose to trust in the goodness of God even in the face of a major disappointment, and lean on him to keep your faith and hope alive no matter what.

Do you view your faith as a set of rules? A list of obligatory dos and dont’s that guide your life? Or do you view your faith as a relationship? A relationship with a God that is alive, an unshakeable source of hope and strength? The truth is, how we view our faith will impact how we share the amazing, life-changing Good News that we carry. When we see focus on the ways Jesus’s unconditional love for us has radically transformed our lives, we can’t help but share that with others not just through our words, but also through acts of kindness and compassion. This episode will empower you to make a lasting impact for the Kingdom by sharing your faith as you go about your everyday life.

With the advances of modern technology, we have “more” than ever before. We can travel further and faster than ever before. We can work longer days and access more entertainment from the palm of our hand than ever before. But all of that “more” may be keeping you from your best life, your mission, your purpose, and your peace, because it distracts you from the things that matter most. Jesus knew that what mattered most was his relationship with his Father. He knew that there he would find peace and fulfillment in life. And it’s the same place you will find fulfillment - in your relationship with God. This episode will empower you to take a break from chasing “more” and intentionally spend time with the living God who fulfills the desires of your heart and fuels you to pursue your purpose with passion and peace.

At one point or another, I’m sure we have all found ourselves waiting on God to do something and thinking that it’s too late. But the good news is: God is never late, he is always right on time. Even when you’ve been waiting on him for what may feel like way too long, you can trust him. You can hold onto hope that he has not forgotten you and that he is working on your behalf. This episode will empower you to stir up your faith, find purpose in the waiting, and hold onto hope that God will fulfill every promise he has made to you right on time - his time.

Has your heart grown a bit weary? Do you feel older on the inside than you are on the outside? Maybe you’re longing to feel joyful and vibrant again. Well good news - this is possible! Feeling young and alive to life is so much more than an external condition - it starts in our hearts. Jesus tells us that when we believe in him, rivers of living water will flow out of our hearts. Connecting ourselves more closely to Jesus is the secret to breathing new life into our weary hearts. This episode will empower you to find the joy you’ve been longing for by reconnecting to the one thing that will never leave you empty - Jesus.

We never really know how much strength we need until we’re put to the test. That’s true physically but also spiritually and emotionally. We discover whether we can handle the “heavier” things in life—setbacks, disappointment , discouragement—only when we are called to face them. Strong spiritual muscles allow us to meet whatever comes our way, the highs and the lows, with confidence, grace, and maturity.

I wonder what your response is when there is a gap between what you believe and what you see. Before Jesus left the earth, he told his disciples that they would experience times of pain and heartache in life. At the same time, he encouraged them to hold onto hope during those times. Will you hold onto hope that God is good and God does good even when nothing in your life or in the world seems good? This episode will empower you to get honest with God about your questions and hold onto faith in him to bridge the gap between what you believe and what you see.

When your smartphone is down to one-percent left on its charge, what do you do? If you’re like most of us, you dig out your charging cord as fast as you can and make a mad dash to the nearest available outlet. Isn’t that like what we try to do in life? When we’re depleted we try to plug into what we think will give us a quick charge—people, food, entertainment, spending money, or maybe chasing prestige or position. Those sources may deliver a momentary spark, but they won’t empower us to live a fully charged life - they will leave us living in a constant state of low power mode. This episode will empower you to seek the recharging you need in God so you can live a life of impact without wearing yourself out.
