This incredible testimony from Verity Conference 2024 will transform how you think about everyday evangelism. Leila shares her powerful story from Muslim family to Christian ministry, and reveals the four practical ways we can all carry God's Kingdom into our daily lives.
Four Ways to Carry the Kingdom:
- Pursue Kingdom Priorities - Aligning your agenda with heaven's agenda
- Possess Kingdom Mysteries - Bringing "kingdom souvenirs" to others
- Assume Kingdom Posture - Childlike faith and dependence on God
- Release Kingdom Power - Holy Spirit power through everyday conversations
The Dentist Story: How a simple conversation during a dental appointment led to a complete life transformation - from curious patient to worship team member in under a year.
Key Scripture: Acts 17:6-7 - "These men who have turned the world upside down"

Should Christians read spicy books? How do we choose books that honor God? And how do we actually find time to read when life is busy?
This week in our Thinking Biblically series, we're talking about another hot topic: the use of AI in Bible study. Whenever there is new technology, especially at this scale and influence, we as Christians are called to be discerning. But how do we determine what to use it for—or not use it for—when it seems Christians at large differ so widely in if, or how, they use it?
What is a "village," and how do we cultivate one in our own lives? In this episode, we'll take a look at the traits of a village, reflect on the loneliness epidemic in America, and how the Bible gives us guidance on overcoming that epidemic by providing real instructions for cultivating community. We'll also consider how we often view friendships in a scarcity mindset, but how we can build healthier ones with an abundance mindset.
In this episode, Phylicia talks about the practice of using devotional books in the Christian walk. Are they a recent addition to Christian life, or have they been in use longer than we think? She then discusses the criteria she uses to discern whether a devotional book is helpful for her spiritual growth, and completes the episode by sharing a few of her favorites.
