Her testimony and insight is sure to build your faith and encourage you in your own prayer life.As Maria tells us, we have an all-access pass to our Heavenly Father through prayer. Let us not miss the opportunity to meet with Him daily.

Pastor Charla sits down with Vicki Kritko, founder of Heaven's Heart Ministries, to discuss forgiveness, deliverance, and inner healing. Her work and Day of Freedom events aim to help people reconnect and hear the voice of the Lord.Vicki wants to help people unravel the lies about how we see God and how we see ourselves in order to step into the deliverance Jesus has already given us. As Vicki beautifully put it, "Vengeance is not ours. Forgiveness is a gift to ourselves."

During this season with so many unknowns, Jillian clings to the truths that God is still good and God is still faithful.She also discusses her upcoming book, Wired, which builds on the DISC system and years of experience and research to help people find and function in their purpose.
