The Holy Spirit is our Helper. Jesus sent Him to us to guide us and help us, not only on a personal level, but in ALL things, including our children! Joseph and Mary, Jesus’ parents Spirit-led parented Jesus by listening to the angel of the Lord that spoke God’s message to them on what they should do to protect Jesus. Autumn brings on her mom to an…

Are you facing a new beginning? Or are you beginning again? You’re entering a new season, maybe it’s life after a divorce, you’re moving to a new place or starting a new job, or maybe you’ve hit rock bottom and everything just seems dark and void. You need to know this: God didn’t need anything to create everything. He didn’t need Adam, and He does…

GOD GIVES EASY instructions for victory! The instructions are often easy, but the action required on our part is hard! On Elisha’s deathbed, the king of Israel, Joash, realized he had one opportunity left to ask the power of God to give him victory. The passion Joash had for the victory he wanted showed in the way he obeyed the instruction from the…

When things don’t make sense, when things don’t go your way, what is your response? Maybe you get frustrated at your job because they didn’t give you that raise they promised, or maybe you get depressed when that opportunity you’ve been looking forward to for years falls through. What if, instead of placing your expectation on the things God has pr…

Ervin Lee joins Autumn in this special wrap-up episode of our series about soul cravings. Ervin shares his testimony of going from seemingly having it all in the world, from wealth, women, and wine, yet an unfilled void in his soul, to becoming satisfied in his soul through faith and treatment. Ervin’s story is a miraculous full-circle from endless…

Jesus asked his disciples, “Why are you troubled? Why do doubts rise in your hearts?” If you feel that Jesus is asking you this today, buckle in because this message is for those of you who are seeking clarity in your lives. The apostles had walked away and had doubts beginning to fill their hearts and minds despite all the things they had witnesse…

Have you ever faced a situation that you are just praying for it to not happen? Maybe it’s bankruptcy, a divorce, or a child who is a prodigal, but whatever it is, you are begging God to take it from you so you don’t have to face it. Jesus shows us, in the Garden of Gethsemane, that deliverance does not always mean FROM a situation, but sometimes i…

Jesus said to His disciples, “I have food to eat that you do not know about,” in John 4, just after speaking with the woman at the well. What is this food He speaks of? Where can we, as believers, find this food and receive it? It was no coincidence that He said this to them immediately after He spoke to the woman at the well, who had been seeking …

Israel cried out for God to give them peace, but what they failed to understand is that what they THOUGHT would give them peace would never fully satisfy them. God’s peace doesn’t always come after a situation is resolved. Sometimes, God’s peace comes before the impending hardship even begins. Gideon knew this, and he received the Lord’s peace befo…

Join Autumn as she interviews Vanessa Benavente (“Mary Mother”) and Brandon Potter (“Quintus”) from The Chosen! From anticipation for season 4 to what goes on behind the scenes, this episode is full of stories that ultimately point back to the beauty of the Gospel.

The enemy will do everything he can to try to persuade you from seeking true satisfaction for your soul by offering things that won’t ever satisfy you. They LOOK like they could, and they have a sweet aroma to them. But it won’t satisfy your internal craving. Maybe for you, it’s romantic partners. Maybe it’s the acceptance of others, or maybe it’s …

The adoption of Moses and Haven in the Miles’ family is packed all into this one episode to encourage you, believer, while you are waiting in between the word that He said to you and when God delivers on His promise. Monologue: Autumn shares about her and Eddie’s Valentine’s date at a cooking class. Message: Autumn details the Miles’ adoption story…

Does it feel like you have been walking in circles, or have you just been told no by God? What God has set apart for someone else is their territory. And, what God has set apart for YOU, God has had to tell others no because it’s yours. His no will always lead to a better YES. The Israelites had to walk through the territory that God set aside for …

Have you checked your foundation recently? Have you been asking, “What in the world is happening right now?” Maybe you used to go to church every week, believing even when others didn’t, but that hasn’t been you for a long time. What have you been making your foundation? If your life seems a little unsteady, check the foundation. Monologue: Autumn …

Lazarus has died, and his family went through the entire process of burying him. In the midst of their grief, Jesus tells the disciples that He is glad that He wasn’t there to stop Lazarus from getting sick and dying. NOW was the time for Jesus to strengthen their faith! When facing a Lazarus situation, the enemy will try to cloud your mind with em…

You’ve been overlooked, you’re frustrated, and you’re starting to think that God has forgotten about you. But He hasn’t! Your hidden season is where God has placed you, not just to keep you from public eyes, but to impart wisdom and truth to you that you will need in your next season. Joseph’s life was full of hidden seasons before his public seaso…

You hear this phrase said all the time, “Won’t He do it?” But you only hear it said from people whom God has done something for. You hear it when your friend just got married after waiting for YEARS for God to bring her a husband. You hear it when your sister announces a long-awaited pregnancy after years of infertility. You hear it when another fr…

All these other people you see get their prayers answered, from finding their spouses, having babies, getting that job, or something else, and you ask yourself, “What do they have that I don’t that they got their prayers answered, but I haven’t gotten mine?” You’re tired and you’re exhausted from waiting and waiting and waiting. In 2 Kings 6 throug…

You have seen God work for others, their marriages, their children, their finances. You’ve seen God move in so many areas, you’ve seen Him do all kinds of miracles for everyone else, and you love to see Him do it. But in your quiet time, in the place where no one else hears you, where no one is looking or peeking over, you ask, “What about me? When…

Autumn has a prophetic word for the 2024 year that she shares with you in this special episode of encouragement and hope as we start the new year and let God lead! HE is our Victorious Warrior!

Join Autumn as she answers YOUR questions and discusses topics like: receiving a word from God, how to respond when the enemy attacks our children, what to do after severe betrayal, and more. The AM Fam wishes you and yours had a merry Christmas and have a happy New Year! Bible References: Psalm 91:16 Colossians 1:17 Links from the show BOOKS: www.…

You’ve been following the sign God has been leading you with, and you are searching and searching and searching. You ask around, “Where is it? Where is the house, the spouse, the thing that God has TOLD me He is guiding me to?” And then you hear it: the voice of Herod, telling you where to go, and he asks you to come back to him when you find it. T…

“How do I find God’s will for my life? How do I know if it’s God’s voice or my voice speaking to me?” Two questions we receive the most as a ministry, and today, Autumn answers them! Luke 1 and 2 are often read during the Christmas season, but there is so much more in it than how most people just read it aloud and call it good. But it is so much de…

King Ahaz was told BY GOD to ask for a sign. Ahaz's mistake was his response, "I will not ask, nor will I test the Lord." If God has told us time and time again throughout Scripture to ask for a sign, who are we to act higher than our need for His compassion? God WANTS to show us His compassion! He WANTS to give us a sign, as He has done countless …

The moment a report came to King Ahaz of Judah about a threat being near, he and his people “shook as the trees of the forest shake in the wind.” Ahaz had faced such news before, which ended with 120,000 valiant men slaughtered in one day and 200,000 taken captive. How often do we hear a report, and take it as a FACT before God has shared His final…

This Thanksgiving message from Autumn is for those of you who feel distant from God. Something is making you feel distant. Maybe it’s a spiritual block, and that block has pushed you to stand at a distance away from God. You show up at church, you pray, you do all the things, but you’re far away. When Jesus met with the 10 lepers, it was not by acc…

In Matthew 8, we can read of a city that has learned to coexist with two demon-possessed men, and they have changed their ways of traveling, settling, and even where they take their herds because of how violent these men are. We read how Jesus comes in, immediately casts them into a herd of nearby pigs, and the problem for this entire city is solve…

When the disciples were in the fourth watch of the night, rowing against the wind, they were straining. They had gotten to a point where they were getting tired, they were getting weary, they were wondering when it would stop, when the wind would stop being contrary against them. They were only in the middle of the lake. They were only in the middl…

Can you relate? You have a problem, a financial problem, and you know a solution that would work. So you pray, “Lord, if you would just provide a raise, or if you would give me a promotion or a new job, then the problem will be solved. Can you give me one of those things, God?” You ask God to follow those instructions, but God is not the kind of mi…

Maybe you are at the point of giving up. Maybe you’re at the point of quitting. Jairus’s daughter was at the POINT of death. Jairus went to Jesus and implored him earnestly to just lay hands on his daughter so she would be well again. What Jesus did was not only shut the mouths of those unbelieving of His power and authority over sickness and death…

Are you holding on to a plan B as a way out in case WHAT God called you to goes wrong or gets too heavy to keep carrying? Or, Are you wondering if God will truly come through when what He asked of you is hard? When the Scriptures introduce us to Elisha, we are given a picture of his life the moment Elijah laid his mantle on him to anoint him as his…

When things go wrong in your life and are taken away, rather than ditching your faith, you hold more tightly to it. Why? Because God is a RESTORER. Nothing is too far gone for Him to restore. Do you know what He needs to restore something? NOTHING! Not only does He restore physical things, but He restores relationships, reputations, and emotions. G…

This is for those of you who are thinking, “God has abandoned me! I have been faithful, but God, I can't hear you.” You may be praying this: “God, WHERE ARE YOU? I need a word from You today, right now, because after facing ALL of this hardship, all of these trials, I need You now. Answer me, answer me!” Job wailed and cried and called out to God, …

Can we really tell Him all we think? Does this sound like you: you’ve been putting up a face before your friends, pretending that things are better than they actually are. You’ve withheld telling your true feelings to others, out of fear for what they would think of you. You’re going through the motions of the day without really digging deep into t…

You have heard that the enemy roams like a roaring Lion seeking those he would devour, but practically, what does that look like or sound like? (1 Peter 5:8) Sometimes, it can look like illness in your body or even your friends turning on you. What you are facing right now is REAL. But even as you wade through whatever your friends or even your spo…

Are you in shock because of a sudden trial you didn’t see coming, or maybe 4? Well, this episode will encourage you! You will find yourself relating the most to Job, as his servants tell him he has lost all his wealth, all his ways of consecrating himself and his family, and all his children. What do you even do? In this second part of the JOB seri…

Today, we begin part one of the book of JOB, maybe one of the hardest books in the Bible to process. Autumn will unpack the hardship allowed in his life and the why behind it. Job faced nightmare upon nightmare upon nightmare. How could God have let such terrible things happen to a man who was found blameless, upright, fearing God, turning away evi…

You are a prayer powerhouse. You pray for your friends to have kids, you pray for your friends to get financial peace, you pray for your sister and her husband to get a house and the right rates, and their prayers that you’ve prayed with them are answered. You are faithful to the Lord, you tithe, you go to church, you’re righteous, you serve at chu…

In between seasons, it is SO important that you handle the old season to prepare for the new season. God has prepared you and the next season, but you must also do your part. The Israelites had to destroy the old things that were left by other nations in the Promised Land, so that they could embrace the new season of settling into the Promised Land…

God has called you to do something, but there’s a problem: you’re BLOCKED. You are facing insecurity in yourself, you have enemies calling you names, your friends have turned against you, or literal obstacles are blocking your way to keep going forward. These blocks or stops are no stranger to God. In fact, you may not even realize He led you there…

What do you do when someone has hurt you in such a way it feels impossible to forgive them? Maybe you've been carrying the hurt for years. Maybe the hurt was done to you by someone you thought you could trust, somebody close to you. Here's the deal: forgiveness wasn't designed to release that person of the wrongdoing they did, God's justice and the…

Have you been waiting for something God has promised you? HOW have you been waiting? God has made promises in Scripture, and we can trust that He STILL makes promises and delivers His promises today. Abraham waited 25 years for God's promise to be fulfilled to him, and along the way, he lost his trust and even tried to do it himself. Even though Ab…

Pharaoh relied so heavily on the Israelites in Egypt, that he could not fathom letting God’s people go. Pharaoh was enslaved to the comfort the Israelites brought him so much, that it required God’s mighty hand to compel him to let them go. God called him to let them go, and Pharaoh didn’t want to do the work to function without them. If God has ca…

Elijah was faithful, but he was STILL in the drought that fell over Israel. But he did not have to suffer, because God provides for those who are His. Sometimes, His provision is through a crazy, strange thing, like ravens. If Elijah REJECTED the ravens that God provided to bring him food, Elijah would not have survived. Don’t reject the provision …

The Pharisees had it backwards when they only APPEARED holy but were EMPTY on the inside. God's holiness calls YOU to “be Holy” because He is Holy. While that is intimidating, it is best to know the difference between religion and true holiness. Religion focuses on, "don't do this," and "don't do that," but walking in holiness is seeking the Holy S…

When was the last time you chose stillness with the Spirit of God over the phone ringing, scrolling social media, kids yelling, or some other thing that keeps you busy? We, as believers, NEED to have holy ground moments with God more regularly than we actually have them. These holy ground moments are moments we are in the presence of the Lord, and …

God is holy. His holiness is why He acts. His holiness is behind every one of His decisions. Whatever He asks of you, know it has been filtered through HIS GREAT HOLINESS. We have watered down His holiness. If we follow the “cool” trend of church culture it belittles the majestic culture of the throne room of God. If we don’t worship the holiness o…

What have you stopped believing for? What word from the Lord has exhausted all your faith because it just doesn’t seem to be happening? Do you think you are too old, too far gone, that you’re too broken, or that the thing has already passed you by? If you believe God has forgotten about you, THAT IS NOT THE CASE! He WILL do what he said, just the s…

It is finally getting into the summer months, and you are DRAGGING yourself into it. Maybe you’re depleted of hope, maybe you’re depleted of energy and you just need a nap. Maybe your faith is struggling. Maybe you are feeling overwhelmed with work, being at home with the kids, or something else. But the LORD is IN your midst. The mother of Jesus k…
