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

    Send a text 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 a text 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.

    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.

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.
