Tea With Toni - Toni Lagaras

Once we find out what it means to be a disciple of Christ, we need to ask ourselves, "What's holding me back?" Most of the time, it's fear. In this message, we tackle the 4 main fears that try to paralyze us and keep us from reaching our potential and how to overcome them.

What does a disciple's life really look like? What does it mean to "live for the well done?" What's the goal of the Christian life? Christian or disciple? Savior or Lord? Find the answers to all these questions and more in this podcast, part 1 of the series Living for the Well Done

2 Peter 1 are Peter's final words. What he most wants his followers to remember and think about and do. Add to your faith. In these 3 messages, we take an in-depth look at what we need to add to our faith, why we need to add it, and what it will do for our lives and those around us. He lives in us. He's given us all the power we need to add these things to our everyday lives. It's our job to walk it out. In this lesson we learn about patient endurance, godliness, brotherly affection, and love for everyone.

We are living in the last days, and we need to pray. Pray for our leaders and governments. Pray for world events. Pray for the will and plan of God to prevail on this earth. How do we know exactly what to pray? We'll look at all this and more in session #2, Praying in the Last Days. Culture can only reign when the church does not. Let's take our place to influence culture through prayer.

Join Toni as she walks through the life of Abraham and focuses on the thread that holds it all together - the promises, the faith walk, the fulfillment, the happily ever after......no matter what we're facing, this is the most important thing - You Will Always Be My God.

Generations. Generation X. Millenials. Baby Boomers. So many generations. Which is the most important generation? The answer is - all of them. There wasn't a generation missing in the first coming of Christ. Every generation played a vital role the first time around. Well, I have some news for all of us. Jesus is coming again, and it's time for every generation to take its place to help usher His presence into this earth again. What part are you supposed to play?

Culture can only reign when the church does not. God has given authority to the church to pray. To speak. To declare His will on this earth, and in this seminar we take an in depth look at what it looks like to reign in this life through prayer. Jesus said if we are thirsty to come to Him and drink and THEN rivers of living water would flow from us. Before we can give anything out, we must first take Him in. And that is what Spirit Fed Prayer is all about. Let's take a drink, shall we, of those rivers of living water!

Most of the time when we say, "I will pray," we're referring to praying for something after the fact. Praying for a tragedy that happened. Praying for something we heard on the news. Praying for comfort and grace for something that happened in the past. What if we could pray out into the future? Well....there is good news. We can! And in this session we go over exactly how to do that. Are you ready to pray into your future? Let's do it.

The position from which we pray matters. We don't want to pray prayers from the perspective that the problem looks bigger than our God does. No. God is always bigger. In session #4, we take a look at what our position in prayer needs be to be the most effective and open the mic up for a Q&A time.

Why? Why did this happen to me? That is a thought we all think at one point or another. It's a thought I'm sure Joseph had. In this message Toni shares a few thoughts to help us look at the life of Joseph (and our own lives) with a little different perspective.

What If? We play the what if game to the negative all the time. What if I fall? What if I fail? But what if we think bigger? Think in God proportions? What would our life of faith in God look like if we really knew and trusted God? What would it be like to pray and see Him answer? What would it look like to lay hands on the sick and watch them recover? What does really knowing God have to do with all of this? Check out this podcast to find out.

When God when? What's taking so long? Will this ever happen? Have you ever asked those questions? If you have, you're in good company. More times than not God's timing is no where close to ours. What do we do when our timetables don't match? Take a listen and find out.

I love the story of when Jesus sat down, gathered His materials, and on purpose made a whip to drive out of the temple what didn't belong there. We are now the temple of God, and there are things in our lives that don't belong there. Only now we use our words to drive them out. Learn how to use your words as a whip to drive things out of your life what doesn't belong.

Join Pastors Mikel and Toni for this conversation about life and faith and God and trust.

Part of the fun of the New Year is making lists. What do I want to add to my life this year? What do I want to cut out? There are 3 very crucial things we want to make sure to add to - and keep on - our list. These 3 things will get us through life - through the good times and the not so good times. These 3 things are vital to life. Are they on your list?

Jesus was born. It was the culmination of centuries of prophecies and eager anticipation of Messiah....and then what? Christmas didn't end at the birth. That was just the beginning. God had so much more in mind.

I love the Christmas story. I've read it hundreds of times. And it can get a little ho-hum. But I got stuck on one verse of Luke chapter two, and it inspired a poem and a whole message. Take a few minutes to recapture the wonder of Christmas with this podcast. Never lose the wonder!

I love the Christmas Story. Jesus. Born in a manger. Proclaimed in the heavens on a silent starry night. And Luke is my all-time favorite rendition of it. Luke Chapter 1 is like the prequel to the whole thing. I've read it hundrends and hundreds of times, but this year, I saw so much more in it than ever before. Take a listen and learn how we can live the Christmas Story in our lives every day.
