    11. Rooted in My Testimony

    Every story carries weight, but when it is surrendered to God, it becomes a witness that changes lives. In this episode of the Rooted series, Debbie Keever turns our focus to the power of testimony. More than a story from the past, a testimony is evidence of God’s presence in our present and His faithfulness for the future. Through Scripture, personal reflection, and stories shared within the community, Debbie shows how testimonies strengthen not only our own faith but also the faith of those around us. As you listen, you’ll encounter: Why the enemy works to silence your story and how sharing it defeats lies and builds resilience. The biblical call to remember God’s faithfulness, illustrated through Joshua’s memorial stones and the importance of passing down our stories to the next generation. Moving testimonies of God’s provision, healing, and presence in times of loss, illness, and uncertainty—reminders that no testimony is too small to carry weight in God’s hands. This episode will encourage you to see your life as part of God’s greater story, where every victory and every trial holds the power to strengthen roots and bear fruit. Listen and be reminded that your testimony is not just your past—it’s God’s ongoing work in your life today.

    10. Rooted in Worship

    Some songs fade, but true worship never does. In this week’s teaching, Debbie Keever leads us into the heart of worship—not just as music, but as a lifestyle of thanksgiving, praise, and surrender. Worship is more than lyrics on our lips; it is the posture of our hearts, the grounding of our faith, and the response of our lives to God’s presence and power. Through Scripture, personal stories, and real-life examples, Debbie unpacks how worship roots us more deeply in Christ and steadies us in both joy and trial. As you listen, you’ll discover: The progression of thanksgiving, praise, and worship—and how each draws us deeper into God’s presence. How gratitude, even in seasons of suffering, anchors us in truth and opens the way to encounter God’s peace. The call to offer a “sacrifice of praise,” choosing worship even when life feels heavy, and experiencing the strength that comes from His nearness. This episode will remind you that worship is not confined to a sanctuary or a song—it is a way of living in response to God’s goodness and holiness. Listen and step into a deeper awareness of His presence that transforms every part of your life.

    9. Rooted in Prayer

    Some battles are fought on our feet, but the greatest victories are won on our knees. In this heartfelt session of the Rooted series, guest speaker April Sliwinski shares her remarkable story of transformation, healing, and purpose—and how prayer became both her anchor and lifeline. From a devastating kidney disease diagnosis to a miraculous transplant, April’s journey shows the unshakable power of communion with God through prayer. Her message is equal parts testimony and teaching, offering practical tools for cultivating a deep, ongoing prayer life. She reminds us that prayer is not just a routine—it’s the way our roots grow deep, drawing from the living water that sustains us through every season. As you listen, you’ll discover: How God used April’s greatest trials to birth her ministry and deepen her relationship with Him. The four steps of prayer—praise, confession, thanksgiving, and intercession—and how each step builds a richer connection with the Lord. Real-life examples and Scripture-based encouragement to help you pray with greater depth, purpose, and expectation. Whether you’re in a season of peace or pressing through uncertainty, this episode will encourage you to remain in the Vine, confident that His promises are true and His presence is near. Listen and experience the strength that comes from walking in step with the One who hears every prayer.

    8. Rooted in His Promises

    Some promises are hopeful wishes. Others are lifelines in the dark. In this week’s episode, Debbie Keever leads us through a deeply personal and Scripture-rich conversation about what it means to anchor your life in the unshakable promises of God. Drawing a clear contrast between the unreliable assurances of people and the steadfast faithfulness of our Heavenly Father, Debbie invites us to consider what voices we’re listening to—and what truths we’re building our lives on. From Moses on the edge of the promised land to the anxious questions we whisper in our own midnight hours, this teaching is both biblical and profoundly relatable. As you listen, you’ll explore: The difference between delayed obedience and faithful response, and how God’s promises are tied to both His Word and our willingness to walk forward. The story of the twelve spies in Numbers 13–14, highlighting how perspective, trust, and memory shape our ability to claim the land God has already said is ours. The deeply practical call to declare God’s Word over our circumstances—even when nothing seems to change—and to refuse fear the power to define our future. This episode will challenge you to shift your focus from the size of your giant to the power of the One who’s already won the battle. Listen and find strength to move forward—not in your own confidence, but in the truth of the One whose promises never fail.

    7. Rooted in Forgiveness

    Some roots go unnoticed—until they bear fruit. Forgiveness is one of them. In this week’s powerful session, guest teacher Kim Bennett joins the Rooted series to walk us through one of the most transformative aspects of a life anchored in Christ: forgiveness. With wisdom shaped by her nursing background and her work with trauma healing, Kim invites us to consider how forgiveness is more than a one-time decision—it’s a lifelong process of surrender, healing, and freedom. This conversation is honest, practical, and deeply personal as Kim shares both her own stories and those from Scripture, guiding us to a deeper understanding of what it means to forgive others, forgive ourselves, and walk in the freedom Christ offers. As you listen, you’ll encounter: A clear breakdown of what forgiveness is—and what it is not—including common myths and misunderstandings that keep us stuck. Powerful visuals and object lessons that illustrate how bitterness, pain, and pride can entangle us unless we actively choose to let go. Stories from Scripture, history, and real life—including the unforgettable testimony of Corrie ten Boom—that show how forgiveness can bring freedom, even in the most impossible situations. Whether you’re walking through deep hurt, wrestling with guilt, or learning to let go of old wounds, this episode gently reminds us that forgiveness isn’t about forgetting—it’s about freedom. Listen and take your next step toward peace that holds, even when the wound runs deep.

    6. Rooted || God is Able

    There are moments in life when all we see is the obstacle in front of us. But what if the real story isn't about what stands in our way—but about who stands with us? In this installment of the Rooted summer series, Debbie Keever invites us into a courageous, honest, and deeply moving reflection on the power of God to do “immeasurably more than we could ask or imagine.” This episode is not about lofty theology—it’s about how we live, pray, grieve, and hope in the here and now, believing that the same God who parted seas and shut lion’s mouths is still moving today. As you listen, you’ll walk through: What it means to trust God with the now, especially when our prayers don’t unfold the way we hoped they would. Powerful testimonies of modern-day miracles, hard-won faith, and the moments when God chooses to move in unexpected ways. A vulnerable invitation to believe that His power is at work within us, even in the mess, even in the grief, and even in the waiting. During the session, we also listened to this interview between Nick Vujicic and Joni Eareckson Tada—a world-renowned author, radio host, disability advocate, and the founder of Joni and Friends: Watch the Interview. This is a trailer for the full conversation, where Nick and Joni share openly about the joy and suffering of everyday life, Joni’s own remarkable story, and how Jesus remains the answer through it all. It’s an honest, real, and sometimes humorous look at how God meets us in our deepest pain and how joy is discovered through the life of a disciple. The interview also explores how the Church can serve those with disabilities and what perseverance looks like in the hardest seasons. This episode doesn’t offer quick fixes or easy answers. It offers something far better: the presence of a faithful God who sees the whole picture, and who still brings beauty from ashes. Listen and encounter the strength that holds you steady—right here, right now.

    5. Rooted in I AM

    Sometimes, we don't just need direction—we need a reminder of where our story actually begins. In this week’s episode, Debbie Keever invites us to step away from the voices that define us and step toward the voice that formed us. Rooted in the identity-shaping encounter between Moses and the burning bush, this conversation draws us back to the truth of who God is—Yahweh, I AM—and, in turn, who we are in Him. Through powerful storytelling, biblical insight, and personal vulnerability, Debbie explores what it means to be rooted in the God who is not defined by time, approval, or circumstance—but who calls us by name, equips us in our weakness, and never changes. As you listen, you’ll experience: A closer look at Exodus 3 and the God who speaks from within the fire—not to impress us, but to invite us into holy ground. A moving exploration of identity, revealing how our deepest stability flows not from who we’ve been told we are, but from who God declares Himself to be. Honest reflection on how we, like Moses, often define ourselves by our limitations—while God simply responds, “I AM.” If you've ever wondered whether you’re enough or how to move forward in a calling that feels too big, this episode will gently lead you to the One who is more than able. Listen now and encounter the presence that steadies you, defines you, and goes with you.

    4. Rooted in His Name

    Some names you remember. Others, you run to. This week’s episode draws us into the rich, grounding power of the names of God—not simply as concepts to memorize, but as places to dwell when the storms of life press in. With stories that range from childhood fears to midnight battles with anxiety, Debbie Keever guides us to a truth that’s both ancient and timely: God’s name is not just a title. It’s a strong tower. In this teaching, Debbie opens up the meaning behind several of God's names and invites listeners to explore how knowing God—intimately, experientially, and personally—roots us in confidence, peace, and perspective. As you listen, you'll discover: Why understanding God’s names like El Roi, Jehovah Shalom, and El Shaddai gives you more than theology—it gives you peace in the dark. How shifting your focus from what’s chasing you to the One who protects you changes how you navigate fear and uncertainty. The difference between knowing about God and actually knowing Him—and how that difference affects the way you walk through crisis. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, unseen, or unsure where to turn, this episode is a reminder that God is not just near—He’s everything His name says He is. Listen and encounter a truth that holds steady when everything else trembles.

    3. Planted

    There’s a kind of strength that doesn’t show up in the spotlight. It’s not loud, but it holds steady when everything else shakes. In this episode, we turn our attention to Psalm 1 and the image of a life planted—intentionally rooted beside the living water of God’s word. As Debbie returns from Alaska with fresh reflections and honest stories, she draws a vivid picture of what it means to live a spiritually grounded life in a world that constantly pulls us toward fear, distraction, and instability. This week’s teaching gently challenges and encourages listeners to examine where they’ve planted themselves—and what their roots are actually drawing from. As you listen, you’ll discover: How spiritual depth increases when we stop chasing control and start cultivating consistency in our time with God. The difference between being busy “for” God and being planted “with” Him—and how one leads to peace while the other leads to burnout. A thoughtful look at Psalm 1:1–3, unpacking how our thoughts, behaviors, and conversations either strengthen or weaken our root system. Whether your current season feels settled or scattered, this episode will meet you right where you are and invite you to plant yourself beside the stream that never runs dry.

    2. From Head To Heart

    Some truths are memorized. Others are lived. In this second episode of our Rooted summer series, Debbie Keever invites us into a deeply personal and often overlooked spiritual journey—the move from knowing about God to truly knowing Him. It's not just about verses you've memorized or sermons you've heard. It's about the moment when your beliefs become your identity. This conversation unfolds with both warmth and conviction as Debbie opens her home—literally—to illustrate what it means for Christ not only to dwell in our lives but to be Lord over every room of our heart. As listeners follow her room by room, they are gently prompted to ask: Where am I still keeping God at arm’s length? As you listen, you'll encounter: The pivotal difference between believing in Jesus and receiving Him—and why both matter. Personal testimonies and honest reflections that reveal the beauty and challenge of surrendering specific areas of life to God's lordship. A creative and practical metaphor using the rooms of a house to explore surrender, identity, and transformation. This episode will lead you to reflect, realign, and embrace what it truly means to be filled with the fullness of God. Tune in and step into a deeper sense of belonging, wholeness, and holy confidence.

    1. Rooted in Him

    Some truths are too deep to be shaken. In a world that constantly pushes, pulls, and pressures us to bend, this week’s episode offers a countercultural call: to grow deeper instead of wider, to be rooted rather than restless. In this opening episode of our summer series Rooted In Him, Debbie Keever lays the foundation for a transformative journey of faith. Drawing from Ephesians 3 and personal stories that range from light-hearted moments to raw vulnerability, Debbie explores what it means to be truly rooted in God's love—and why it matters more than ever. As you listen, you’ll encounter: A compelling exploration of the metaphor of trees and how winds—though uncomfortable—force our roots to grow deep. Real-life stories that make you laugh, nod, and reflect, including the unforgettable story of Jamie, the bodybuilder, and the powerful testimony of Khaki, a young woman navigating illness with unwavering faith. A challenge to consider your “spot”—where you meet with God—and how your private rhythms nourish your public resilience. This episode isn’t just about spiritual theory—it’s about the strength we all need when life sends a storm. Tune in, and walk away grounded, confident, and holding onto something unshakable.
