Conversations with John & Lisa Bevere John & Lisa Bevere, Messenger Network

According to a recent Barna study, church dropouts have risen to 64%. Only one in four Americans are a practicing Christian—a number that has dropped in half since 2000. Why? What is missing from our churches?
In this week’s episode of Conversations, John and Lisa Bevere dive deep into the often missing ingredient for true intimacy with God: the fear of the Lord.
Fearing God is very different than being afraid of God. Instead, it’s the key to everything.
Join us as we discuss how this healthy, holy, and largely forgotten virtue is the uncommon path to a more fulfilled and fruitful life.

As we kick off 2023, we want to share how we set our focus for the year ahead.

We all want to start our year off right, but how many of us know that a little distraction or deviation can quickly derail everything? That’s why we want to prepare you with focus.

The power of focus will eliminate confusion and help you meet your goals. As the saying goes, “You become what you behold."

Join us as we launch the first episode of the New Year with a conversation about focus, and through sharing some of our personal stories, we hope you’ll leave equipped, empowered, and ready to take on 2023.

Before we rush into the new year, we thought it would be valuable to spend this episode of the Conversations Podcast reflecting back on some of the key takeaways from 2022.

In this episode, we’re diving into some of the key lessons we learned personally over this last year, as well as offering some thoughts on what happened in the world. A lot happened in 2022, and we’re talking about it here!

What are some lessons you learned over this last year? Take the time to do some personal reflection of your own so you can cement these things in your heart—as well as let go of the things you don’t need to carry forward into the next year! Praying this episode helps you in your own process as you sort through this last year and find your focus heading into 2023!

Ignorance is bliss, right? Wrong. When it comes to marriage, what we don't know often causes us untold amounts of frustration and heartache. Today on Conversations, we want to talk about four things we wish we would have known decades ago.

Our goal in sharing these lessons is that we can deposit these life-altering, marriage-changing truths into your life so that you can learn from our mistakes. From watching your words, to investing in the right people, our sincere hope is that this episode will help you get where you want to go faster, while avoiding some of the common pitfalls we fell into along the way.

This conversation is jam-packed with wisdom that you don’t want to miss out on!

Are you losing hope and feeling like you have nothing to look forward to in your family or marriage? Over the last forty years, we've grown and changed in many ways, but one of the best things we've done has been learning to find more joy in each other and in our family.

Joy can be hard to find—especially when you are struggling to keep the right perspective in challenging seasons. On this episode of the Conversations podcast, we want to give you some essential keys to squeezing a bit more joy out of life—no matter what your current season looks like.

The little things in life all add up, and in this episode, we'll give you some strategies to make the most of them and to begin experiencing a deeper, abiding enjoyment of life.

We are BACK!
Today, after a short hiatus, we're picking up where we left off with the Conversations podcast!
We recently celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary—which is no small feat considering how difficult things were early on for us. We know many of you guys are going through similar struggles to what we went through, so we wanted to share some big take-aways that we've learned over the past four decades.
Whether it's dealing with comparison, moving from your spouse's critic to their champion, learning how to play to their strengths, or beyond—you'll find something in this episode that will bless you! It’s our hope that these lessons bring breakthrough to couples who need answers and direction—like we did!
We’re excited to be back on Conversations! Tune in, and if you haven't already, make sure to subscribe so you don't miss a single episode.
