    My Sheep Hear My Voice I Faith In The Valley I Magnified

    Have you ever wondered what it really looks like to hear and obey the voice of God? In this Magnified mini episode of Faith in the Valley, Melinda shares a powerful and unexpected story of divine obedience. After receiving a dream from the Lord, she is prompted to cold-call Chick-fil-A and ask for a complete stranger named Chris. What sounds simple at first unfolds into a beautiful, supernatural journey of learning to hear the voice of God and trust the leading of the Holy Spirit. This 15-minute highlight is pulled from last week’s full-length episode and is perfect if you didn’t have time to listen to the entire conversation. You’ll laugh, be encouraged, and be amazed at how gently and creatively the Holy Spirit leads us when we choose obedience. If you’re longing to grow in hearing God’s voice, stepping out in faith, and experiencing the joy of walking with Holy Spirit, this episode will inspire you to ask, “Lord, what are You saying to me?” Be encouraged. Be inspired. Learn to trust the voice of the Shepherd. “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” – John 10:27

    Does God Care about the Small Stuff? | real faith, real life, real stories I Faith in the Valley: Episode 26

    In Episode 26 of Faith in the Valley, Melinda Isley sits down with her brother and friend George Scott of Scott Studio for what begins as a simple conversation about a busy ministry day—but quickly turns into a powerful reminder of God’s personal provision. An unexpected story about free Chick-fil-A opens the door to a heartfelt discussion about divine interventions, timely provision, and the unmistakable ways God has shown up in their lives over the years. Through laughter, reflection, and faith-filled testimony, Melinda and George reveal a deep truth: God wants to be involved in every part of your life—especially the day-to-day details. This episode gently reveals the difference between biblical provision and prosperity gospel, exemplifying the promise of Philippians 4:19—that God will supply all our needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Not flashy excess, but faithful provision. Maybe not a Lamborghini, but exactly what you need, right on time. If God has called you to do something, He will walk you through it. Jehovah Jireh is your Abba Father, and you can trust Him to provide when you seek Him and follow His lead. This episode will encourage anyone wondering: – Does God really care about my everyday needs? – Can I trust Him to provide? – What does God’s provision actually look like? Tune in and be reminded that what God calls you to do, He also equips and provides for.

    Saying Yes to God | A Powerful Testimony of Obedience & Rescue | Faith in the Valley

    In this powerful and emotional episode of Faith in the Valley, host Melinda Isley sits down with Shelenea Harris, founder of Live on Purpose, for a Holy Spirit–led conversation that beautifully comes full circle. This episode ties directly back to Episode One of Faith in the Valley. Shelenea led the very event where Hope Worrell, Melinda’s debut guest, encountered Jesus for the first time. What began as two women barely knowing each other quickly turns into a deeply encouraging, Spirit-filled conversation about God’s glory, His providence, and how He weaves the lives of His children together when we simply say yes.  The episode takes a surprising and emotional turn when Shelenea opens up and shares how God rescued her through Melinda’s music, testimony and obedience to share His love at the very retreat where they met. Tears flow freely as we’re reminded that what we see on the outside doesn’t always reflect what someone is walking through on the inside. This episode is a beautiful reminder that God wants our yes — not because He needs us, but because He longs to bless, heal, and restore us through willing hearts.   If you’ve ever wondered whether your obedience matters, this episode will encourage you to trust God, lean in, and say yes.

    Welcome to Episode 22 of Faith in the Valley. In this powerful New Year 2026 conversation, Melinda sits down with her brother and friend, Pastor George Scott of Scott Studio, for an episode that feels like stepping inside one of their real, personal conversations. What begins as a lighthearted chat—introducing George’s new YouTube series “Moments of Encouragement”—quickly becomes something much deeper. Holy Spirit takes over and leads them into a raw, intimate, Spirit-filled discussion about God’s calling on your life and how He wants to use you in the Body of Christ. Although this conversation was recorded around Thanksgiving, God’s timing is perfect. Released as the first Faith in the Valley episode of 2026, this message will stir your heart and challenge you to ask:  What does God want to do next in my life?  What calling has He placed on me?  Am I allowing Him to work through me?  Am I humbling myself before God so I can walk in my God-given purpose? In this episode, Melinda and George talk honestly about how—while God is not controlling the world—we can make Him God of our individual lives. When we surrender, His providence takes hold and His sovereign will is accomplished through us. This episode will encourage you to step boldly into the purpose God created you to fulfill. There will never be another 2026, and there will never be another you.

    "You Chose Me" - The Story Behind The Song I Faith in The Valley I Episode 20

    This week on Faith in the Valley, we’re sharing something special for the Christmas season — the story behind my worship song “You Chose Me.” This 3-minute video tells how the Lord whispered the song and why it has become one of my personal favorites. As we remember the birth of Jesus — the Messiah who stepped out of heaven, wrapped Himself in humanity, and chose the cross for each of us — this sonHe chose us. I’ve always imagined “You Chose Me” being sung in candlelight services across America, filling sanctuaries with the wonder of the Incarnation and the love of Christ. My prayer is that as you watch and listen, the Holy Spirit will speak to your heart and remind you that God’s love is intentional, personal, and unchanging. May God bless you and draw you close this Christmas season.
