New Episodes Weekly! Do you wish you knew God better? Do you long to feel His presence, hear His voice, and stop wrestling with guilt when you pray? I’m so glad you’re here! This podcast will help you get to know God, his ways, and intentions toward you. As you discover who He truly is, you’ll enjoy more time with Him — and along the way you’ll find yourself laughing more, resting more, and growing in confidence. I’m Lenora — a mom, Jesus-lover, and international trainer. At times, I dreaded my “quiet time.” I assumed I was putting God first because I went to church and checked off the boxes. But inside, I often felt bored, guilty, and even a little resentful. Then God broke through my assumptions. He showed me He wasn’t like everyone else — and that the change I longed for would come as I discovered how loved I really was. So I started learning in ways that fit how I best connect. Simple but powerful truths began to set my heart free. My walk with God shifted and my time with Him from boredom and duty into joy, peace, and true friendship. And now I’m sharing it with you.  If you’re ready to uncover the roots holding you back… If you grew up in church but still feel stuck… If you’re longing for peace, better sleep, fresh energy, real joy, and hope for your future — this podcast is for you. So grab a comfy spot or listen on the go — it’s time to get personal with your best Friend - God ----- For the first 40 episodes the original name for this podcast was "3Ps in a Pod". It's been a journey...You'll hear old titles in the introductions of older episodes from 2020-24 yet the interviews and conversations are powerful.

    Will God Exceed My Expectations? God's Extreme Love, Faith Over Unbelief and Living in God's Promises

    God thinks deeply about you. He loves you profoundly. And He has always had a powerful, eternal plan for your life. In this episode, we walk through Ephesians chapter 3 (with insights from The Passion Translation), exploring the breathtaking mystery God revealed through the apostle Paul—that through Jesus Christ, all believers are made co-heirs, brought fully into God’s family, and filled with His very life. We reflect on how God’s plan was set before the foundation of the world, why this mystery was hidden for generations, and how it is now revealed by the Holy Spirit for our strengthening, confidence, and freedom. This conversation addresses real life—emotional pain, loss, discouragement, unbelief, and spiritual opposition—while continually bringing us back to the unchanging truth: God is good, God is faithful, and His promises are yes and amen. You’ll be encouraged to recognize spiritual authority in Christ, resist unbelief, and grow in confidence through God’s Word, faith, and relationship with Him. We close with prayer and practical encouragement to speak life, trust God’s promises even when the battle feels long, and allow His extravagant love to become the very foundation of your life.

    Why the World Feels So Angry—How True Peace Can Be Found

    We are living in an intense and volatile world—marked by anger, division, fear, and constant pressure to find meaning somewhere outside of God. In this episode, Lenora Turner walks through a deeply biblical and hope-filled study of wrath, identity, and belonging, drawing from James 4, Ephesians 1–2, Romans 8, John 1, Psalm 91, and the life of Jesus Himself. Many believers were taught that being “children of wrath” means God is angry with them—but Scripture tells a far more liberating story. This episode unpacks what the Bible actually means by children of wrath versus children of God, showing that wrath describes a condition of fallen humanity, not God’s posture toward those He loves. Jesus took judgment upon Himself so we could be reborn into a new household, a new identity, and a living relationship with God as our Father. You’ll hear a reframing of repentance—not as shame or fear, but as turning toward a better source of life—and an invitation to step out of striving, exhaustion, and distorted views of God. This conversation offers clarity, rest, and confidence for anyone weary of chaos, confused about God’s character, or longing to experience real peace, security, and purpose.

    Why Do We Question Our Value to God? Prayer on Identity, Freedom, and Life in Christ from Ephesians 1–2

    Do you feel weary from the chaos, pressure, and constant striving of this world? In this encouraging episode, Lenora invites you to step back into truth—rooted not in opinion, performance, or external success, but in God’s eternal plan for you. Drawing from Ephesians chapters 1 and 2, we explore the breathtaking reality that you were chosen, planned for, and deeply desired by God before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4–5). Long before your failures, struggles, or doubts, God had already set His love on you—by grace, not by works. This episode gently addresses weariness, depression, and the false promise that “more” (money, success, approval) will bring satisfaction. Scripture reminds us that true life is found in knowing God (John 17:3), and that even when we were “dead in our trespasses,” God made us alive together with Christ because of His great love (Ephesians 2:1–5). You’ll hear biblical encouragement on: Grace as God’s gift—not something you earn (Ephesians 2:8–9)Your identity as God’s workmanship, created with purpose (Ephesians 2:10)God’s faithful, loving character revealed through Christ (1 Corinthians 13:4–8)The authority and life available to us in Jesus’ name (Philippians 2:9–11)How faith grows through hearing God’s Word (Romans 10:17)This episode includes prayer for healing, peace, protection, and renewed confidence in God’s love and presence. If you long for freedom from shame, a deeper relationship with God, or reassurance that your life truly matters, this conversation will anchor your heart in truth and hope. You are not forgotten. You are not an accident.  You are chosen, loved, and invited into life with God—starting now. Key Scriptures Referenced: Ephesians 1:3–6, 11 Ephesians 2:1–10 John 17:3 Romans 10:17 1 Corinthians 13:4–8 Philippians 2:9–11 Book offer - Prayer changes everything — especially when you’re seeking God for answers to anxiety, depression, relationships, finances, health, or life decisions. 100 Prayers Releasing 100 Cares shares real stories of answered prayer, biblical wisdom for hearing God’s voice, and practical faith tools rooted in Scripture to help you walk in freedom and bold trust in God.

    Chosen Before Creation? Ephesians 1, God’s Love, Prayer and Your Spiritual Inheritance - Part 2

    In a world filled with violence, uncertainty, and deep suffering, how do we remain anchored in hope, truth, and God’s love for all people? In this episode, Lenora Turner invites you into a reflective and Scripture-rich conversation centered on Ephesians chapter 1—one of the most powerful revelations of who God is and who we are in Christ. Beginning with prayer for people around the world, including those suffering under oppression, this episode reminds us that “God so loved the world” (John 3:16) and that His heart is for every nation, every person, and every generation. As believers, we are invited to grow in compassion, gratitude, and bold prayer rooted in God’s Word and His eternal purposes. Lenora walks verse-by-verse through Ephesians 1:3–23, highlighting what Scripture reveals about: Being chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4)Our adoption as sons and daughters through Jesus Christ (Ephesians 1:5)Redemption and forgiveness through His blood (Ephesians 1:7)The lavish grace of God poured out with wisdom and insight (Ephesians 1:8)Our spiritual inheritance and the sealing of the Holy Spirit as a guarantee (Ephesians 1:13–14)The prayer for wisdom, revelation, and enlightened hearts to know the hope of our calling and the immeasurable greatness of God’s power (Ephesians 1:17–19)This episode gently dismantles religious performance and replaces it with relational knowing—learning to abide in Christ (John 15:4–5), to remain, continue, and live from intimacy with God rather than striving. You’ll hear encouragement to read Scripture across translations, to ask God for revelation, and to discover the strength, peace, and confidence that come from truly knowing Him. Drawing from both the Old and New Testaments, this episode also reflects on: God’s mindfulness and value of humanity (Psalm 8:4)Being fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14)The authority and life Jesus brings beyond destruction (John 10:10)God’s protection and angelic care (Psalm 91:1–11)The surpassing goodness and lovingkindness of God (Psalm 63:3; Ephesians 3:20)The episode closes with a heartfelt prayer for revelation, encouragement, peace, protection, clarity, and courage—inviting listeners to dare to believe that God really is as good as His Word says He is. If you’re longing to know God more deeply, understand your identity in Christ, and live with a confident, anchored hope in uncertain times, this episode will strengthen your faith and renew your perspective. 📍 Key Scriptures: John 3:16; Ephesians 1:3–23; Psalm 8:4; Psalm 91; Psalm 139:14; John 10:10; John 15:4–5; Ephesians 3:20 Book offer - Prayer changes everything — especially when you’re seeking God for answers to anxiety, depression, relationships, finances, health, or life decisions. 100 Prayers Releasing 100 Cares shares real stories of answered prayer, biblical wisdom for hearing God’s voice, and practical faith tools rooted in Scripture to help you walk in freedom and bold trust in God.
