    I Am Sufficient In God With Lisa Kai and Bekah Lagafuaina

    How many times have you looked in the mirror and quietly asked yourself, "Am I enough?" What if everything you've believed about your worth has been built on a lie? Today, we're uncovering the truth God has been speaking over you all along. Have you ever wondered… "Am I good enough?" "Have I done enough?" "Will I ever be enough?" If you've wrestled with comparison, perfectionism, insecurity, or the pressure to prove yourself, this conversation is for you. In Episode 2 of our Conversations with Mom series, Pastor Lisa and her daughter Bekah have an honest conversation about what it truly means to be sufficient in Christ. Too many women measure their worth by performance, social media, achievements, relationships, or other people's opinions. But God has never asked us to be perfect; He simply asks us to trust Him. Together they discuss: ● Why comparison steals confidence ● How perfectionism keeps us stuck ● Learning to recognize the gifts God already placed inside you ● Building God-confidence instead of self-confidence ● Healing from feelings of not being enough ● Elijah's powerful testimony of overcoming rejection and finding identity in Christ ● Practical ways to strengthen your relationship with Jesus and walk confidently in your calling If you've ever questioned your value, this episode will remind you that your identity isn't found in what you do; it's found in who you are in Christ. You are already enough because His fullness lives inside of you. Timestamps 00:00 Welcome!

    Before the Oil Flows: What God Is Producing in Your Crushing Season With Lisa Kai

    Have you ever wondered why God allows seasons of pressure, waiting, and heartbreak? In this powerful Girls' Night In message, Pastor Lisa Kai reminds us that God never wastes our pain. Just as olives must be crushed before oil can flow, our greatest seasons of pressure often become the birthplace of healing, purpose, and spiritual maturity. If you're walking through disappointment, waiting on God, or wondering why life feels heavy, this conversation will encourage you to stay under His covering, trust the process, and choose life, even when it hurts. Not every season is meant to feel comfortable. Sometimes God allows the crushing, not to destroy us, but to release what He has already placed inside of us. In this powerful message from Girls Night In, Pastor Lisa Kai challenges us to stop living in yesterday's victories and make room for the new thing God wants to do. Through biblical teaching, personal stories, and practical encouragement, she unpacks how seasons of pressure can either produce fresh oil or leave us trapped in bitterness. Whether you're navigating heartbreak, singleness, disappointment, grief, or simply waiting on God, this episode will remind you that your pain has purpose and that God is still writing your story. Timestamps 00:00 – Worship with Pastor Lisa Kai 01:00 – God wants to do a new thing: Let go of yesterday and embrace what He's doing now. 03:00 – Prayer before today's message. 05:00 – Welcome to Girls' Night In.08:18 – Bitterness, Naomi, and the danger of allowing pain to define your future. 12:35 – Why olives must be crushed before oil can flow and what that means for us spiritually. 14:54 – The pressing of the Holy Spirit: Will your pain produce oil or toxins? 18:36 – Open wounds, jealousy, unforgiveness, and choosing life (Deuteronomy 30:19). 21:25 – Every decision shapes your future.

Don't lose heart. 40:00 – Don't leave before the oil begins to flow (2 Corinthians 4:16–17). 44:25 – Jesus' crushing became our healing. 47:29 – Closing prayer. ______________ IG: @lisakai FB: @lisakai Website: lisakai.tv Arise Womens Ministry

    Conversations With Mom: Trusting God Through the Waiting With Bekah Lagafuaina and Lisa Kai

    What do you do when God feels silent, prayers feel unanswered, and everyone else seems to be receiving the blessing you've been waiting for? In this deeply honest episode, Bekah and Pastor Lisa unpack what it truly means to trust God in seasons of disappointment, waiting, grief, and uncertainty. From miscarriages and delayed prayers to surrendering control and learning how to celebrate others while still hurting yourself, this conversation is raw, vulnerable, healing, and full of hope. If you've ever asked God,"Why not me?", this episode is for you. In this new six-week series, Bekah and Pastor Lisa dive into the difficult yet transformative journey of trusting God, especially when life doesn't make sense. Together, they share personal stories about strained relationships, waiting seasons, miscarriage, emotional healing, and learning how to surrender control to God. Through stories of Hannah, Hagar, and Job, they remind listeners that trusting God isn't always pretty; sometimes it looks like crying in your closet, wrestling with disappointment, and choosing faith even when your heart is hurting. Pastor Lisa reflects on waiting 9 years to conceive, while Bekah opens up about miscarriage, delayed prayers, and how God taught her to celebrate others while still waiting for her own miracle. This episode is a reminder that: Trust isn't transactional. Waiting seasons can grow your faith the deepest. God sees you in your pain. Peace comes from returning to Him again and again. Whether you're waiting for healing, restoration, a breakthrough, provision, or a promise, this conversation will encourage you to keep trusting God, even when you don't understand the process. 00:00 – Introduction Bekah introduces the new six-week series Conversations With My Mother and today's topic: trusting God even when you don't understand it. 01:00 – Trusting God Through Relationships & Family Pastor Lisa shares how trust impacts parenting, marriage, friendships, and relationships through every season of life. 02:50 – Growing Into Mature Conversations Bekah reflects on how her relationship with her mother evolved over time and the importance of maturity in communication. 04:40 – What Trusting God Really Looks Like Pastor Lisa explains that trusting God means stepping into the unknown without knowing the outcome. 07:30 – Trusting God During Waiting Seasons Discussion about unanswered prayers, disappointment, confusion, and learning to trust God when life feels uncertain. 13:50 – Pastor Lisa's 9-Year Waiting Season Pastor Lisa vulnerably shares her infertility journey and how God strengthened her during the wait. 18:46 – Pretending to Trust vs Actually Surrendering Bekah opens up about struggling privately while publicly saying she trusted God. 30:00 – Miscarriage, Grief & Choosing Celebration Bekah shares her miscarriage story and how God challenged her to celebrate other women's pregnancies despite her pain. 38:52 – "One Day You Will Understand.

    When Obedience Meets Vision | Pastor Mike & Pastor Lisa Kai (Pound for Pound Leadership x I AM HER)

    What happens when God plants a vision years before you feel ready to carry it?

This is a conversation about obedience, timing, marriage, leadership, and what it really looks like to say yes to God, even when it's uncomfortable, inconvenient, and requires everything. In this special collaboration episode of Pound for Pound Leadership Podcast and the I AM HER Podcast, Pastor Mike Kai sits down with his wife, Pastor Lisa Kai, to unpack the story behind Arise, a women's movement that began with a quiet prayer and has grown into a global vision impacting thousands. Pastor Lisa shares how God began stirring something in her heart 15 years ago, long before she felt ready, and how moments of obedience, confirmation, and even disruption shaped the calling she now walks in.
