    God’s Plan Isn’t Random: Finding Purpose in Pain & Uncertainty Ep. 39

    Send us Fan Mail This week on Unfiltered Faith: Beyond the Church Walls, Evelyn and Krystal sit down for a real, honest conversation about what they’ve been learning in their Tuesday night Bible study. We’re currently going through The King Is Coming by John Bevere, and this episode is simply our personal reflection—what stood out, what challenged us, and how it’s impacting our walk with God. This is not a teaching or retelling of the book, but a conversation about: • God’s plan being intentional—not random • Why suffering isn’t wasted • What it means to live with eternity in mind • How faith shifts when life doesn’t make sense If you’ve ever questioned God’s timing or wondered what He’s really doing in your life… this one is for you. We strongly encourage you to grab the book and study it for yourself. ⚠️ DISCLAIMER (include in description or show notes) This podcast episode is a personal discussion based on our Bible study experience.  We are not affiliated with or representing John Bevere or Messenger International.

    Why We Need to Talk About the Return of Jesus EP 37

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Unfiltered Faith: Beyond the Church Walls, Evelyn and Krystal revisit chapters they had already discussed after receiving a study guide that led them to slow down and take a deeper look. What started as a review turned into an honest conversation about prophecy, spiritual readiness, and why so many believers avoid talking about the return of Jesus. Together, they discuss how this subject has often been mishandled through fear, confusion, arguments, and speculation—and why that should not keep believers from studying what Scripture clearly teaches. This episode is not about hype, predictions, or dramatic theories. It is about returning to the Word of God and asking what the truth of Christ’s return should produce in the life of a believer. Evelyn and Krystal talk about the difference between fear and faith, hysteria and hope, and why biblical prophecy should move us toward holiness, watchfulness, and everyday obedience. They also challenge listeners to examine whether they are spiritually awake, truly grounded in Scripture, and living in a way that reflects real surrender to Christ. This episode is a reminder that the return of Jesus is not meant to make believers panic—it is meant to make us ready. If you have ever felt intimidated by prophecy, confused by end-times conversations, or unsure why this topic still matters, this discussion will encourage you to dig into the Word for yourself and keep your eyes on Jesus.

    Faithfulness, Stewardship, and Multiplication | Called Lesson 10 Recap | Unfiltered Faith WK 35 EP 36

    Send us Fan Mail What does it really mean to be faithful in God’s Kingdom? In this episode of Unfiltered Faith: Beyond the Church Walls, Evelyn Ello reflects on biblical principles of faithfulness, stewardship, and multiplication inspired by Lesson 10 of the Called study series. Faithfulness is often misunderstood as simply staying consistent, but Scripture shows that God calls us to steward what He has entrusted to us in ways that produce fruit. In this episode we explore: • Why faithfulness often begins with small opportunities  • How stewardship shapes our calling  • Why seasons of serving someone else’s vision matter  • How God multiplies what we place in His hands This episode encourages listeners to recognize the purpose God has placed in their lives and begin stewarding it faithfully.

    Trusting God’s Timing: The Process Behind Your Calling WK 34 EP 35

    Send us Fan Mail Many believers sense that God has a purpose for their lives, but few expect the long seasons of preparation that often come before that purpose becomes clear. In this episode of Unfiltered Faith: Beyond the Church Walls, Evelyn and Krystal discuss a powerful biblical theme: God often prepares the person before He releases the purpose. Looking at examples from Scripture—including Joseph, David, Moses, and John the Baptist—we explore why seasons of waiting, testing, and refinement are often part of God’s plan. These seasons can feel confusing or discouraging, but throughout the Bible we see that God uses hidden and difficult seasons to develop faith, humility, and spiritual maturity. In this conversation we talk about: • Why God’s timing often looks different than our expectations  • Biblical examples of preparation before leadership  • What wilderness seasons can teach us about trusting God  • The temptation to force outcomes instead of waiting on God  • How trials refine faith and strengthen character  • Practical ways to stay faithful when the journey feels long If you are in a season where God has placed something on your heart but the path forward feels slow or uncertain, this episode is meant to encourage you.

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.

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.

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.

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

    Send us Fan Mail 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.
