    Are You Serving God… or Your Dream? | CALLED Lesson 8 Recap | Unfiltered Faith WK33 EP34

    Send a text In this episode of Unfiltered Faith: Beyond the Church Walls, we recap and reflect on Lesson 8 from the CALLED series by John Bevere, available through the MessengerX app. This episode is not affiliated with or endorsed by MessengerX or John Bevere Ministries. We are not reproducing course material. This is our personal reflection and group discussion from our Tuesday night Bible study at Beyond the Church Walls Ministry. Lesson 8 challenges us with a powerful truth: only the Holy Spirit knows your calling—and only the Holy Spirit knows how to get you there. We discuss:  • The difference between serving God and serving your dream  • Why Spirit-led living develops godly character  • The Greek distinction between teknon (child) and huios (mature son) • Why difficulty is often part of divine direction • How surrender shapes calling Scriptures include:  Romans 8:14  Galatians 5:5  John 15:1–11 Following the Spirit does not promise ease—but it promises transformation. The path to your calling is not self-driven ambition. It is Spirit-led surrender. Join us as we learn to trust God’s timing, God’s process, and God’s plan.

    Guard Your Calling: Security, Money & Sin | CALLED Lesson 7 Recap WK 32 EP 33

    Send a text In this episode of Unfiltered Faith: Beyond the Church Walls, we recap Lesson 7 of the Called series by John Bevere, available on the MessengerX app. This is not an official teaching from John Bevere or MessengerX. We are not affiliated with their ministry. This episode is simply our personal recap and discussion from our Tuesday night Bible study at Beyond the Church Walls Ministry. We are not reproducing or redistributing the course material. Lesson 7 focuses on the “calling killers” that can quietly derail believers over time—security, money, relationships, and unrepented sin. Scripture reminds us to lay aside every weight and run our race with endurance (Hebrews 12:1). Calling is not destroyed overnight—it is compromised gradually. If you care about finishing well, this conversation is for you.

    Stop Drifting. Start Rooting. | CALLED Lesson 6 Recap WK 31 EP 32

    Send a text In this episode of Unfiltered Faith: Beyond the Church Walls, we continue our Tuesday night Bible study recap from the Called series by John Bevere, available through the MessengerX app. Lesson 6 — Get Planted — confronts one of the most subtle struggles in modern Christianity: spiritual restlessness. Why do so many believers drift from place to place?  Why is staying harder than moving?  And what does Scripture actually say about being planted? In this discussion, we unpack: • The difference between being Spirit-led and instability-driven  • Why burial precedes multiplication  • The role of the local church in spiritual formation  • Roots vs. fruit — and why depth matters more than display  • How faithfulness in hidden seasons prepares you for calling We are not affiliated with MessengerX or John Bevere Ministries.

    The Big Picture: Living Faithfully With Eternity in Mind Week 28 EP 29

    Send a text What if your everyday obedience mattered more than you realized? In this episode, Evelyn and co-host Krystal take a step back to look at the big picture of faith—not through titles, platforms, or comparison, but through the lens of eternity. Together, they explore what Scripture teaches about faithfulness, accountability for believers, and eternal reward. This conversation brings clarity and hope, reminding listeners that while salvation is a gift of grace, how we live our lives still matters deeply to God. You’ll also be guided through a simple but powerful Envelope Activity, designed to help you surrender fears about calling, timing, comparison, and finishing well—and to trust God with the journey He’s leading you on. If you’ve ever questioned whether your faithfulness matters, worried that you started too late, or wondered if you’re living out your purpose, this episode will encourage you to refocus, trust God, and live with eternity in mind. 🎧 Listen, reflect, and take action—because faith isn’t just believed, it’s lived.

    Send a text CALLED — Lesson 2 Recap: “The Why Before the What” Unfiltered Faith: Beyond the Church Walls | Evelyn & Krystal In Lesson 2 of the CALLED study, we’re going deeper than “What am I called to do?” and asking the question that keeps you steady: Why does calling matter? Because a weak “why” creates a weak “yes.” In this episode, Evelyn and Krystal recap Tuesday night’s Bible study and unpack Lesson 2 with real-life application, encouragement, and Scripture. Episode Highlights • Why knowing your calling keeps you from spiritual drift • The boat/motor illustration—why “just coasting” is dangerous • David’s drift moment (2 Samuel 11:1) and what it teaches us • How calling helps you use your gifts in the right arena • Tractor vs. stock car: powerful gifts, wrong placement = frustration • Why living your calling produces joy, fulfillment, and contentment • How comparison and envy expose ignored assignments • Why fulfilling your calling matters: eternal reward + finishing well • “Dedicated & Blessed” prayer challenge (Matthew 18:19–20) Scriptures Psalm 37:23 • Romans 12:6 • Galatians 6:4 • John 4:34  Additional Reading: 2 Samuel 11:1 • Proverbs 11:31 • Philippians 4:1 Try This This Week Pray with someone (spouse/friend/group member) and dedicate each other to God’s purpose. Ask for focus, protection from drift, courage to stay in your lane, and endurance to finish well. Disclaimer: We’re not Bible scholars or pastors—just women who love Jesus and His Word. We encourage you to read along and ask the Holy Spirit to lead you into truth. 💬 Message us: What part hit you the hardest—drift, arena, contentment, or eternal reward?
