Podcast by Cindy Powell

The Presence Driven Life

The world around us may have grown increasingly chaotic, but there is still fullness of joy in His Presence! That's what The Presence Driven Life podcast is all about—learning to live from the beauty, peace, and joy of His presence. That preaches good, but how do we authentically live it out? Join host Cindy Powell and others as we have real conversations, about real issues affecting real people, who are pressing in for more of a very real God. We plan to post a new episode every Monday, often with special guests who add richness and depth to the conversation. We will explore a variety of topics—from the sweet and simple, to the deep and complex—all with the goal of removing obstacles that hinder us from living in the abiding reality of unbroken communion with Jesus. While we won't shy away from tough or even controversial topics, our goal will always be to keep His presence at the center. We want the freedom to be brutally honest, yet fully honoring to God as we learn to practice His presence together!  I hope you'll join us!

Sacred Cows and Secure Anchors w/ Toni Imsen

Are you ready to leave the safety of the sandbox to explore the vastness of the ocean? If so, you won't want to miss this week's episode with Toni Imsen!  We may kick a sacred cow or two along the way as we journey to a place of security and rest in the One who is the only true Anchor for our souls.

Toni is a wife, a mom, a grandma, and a business owner (along with her husband, Ted). She is also someone I trust to be prophetically in tune with what God is saying and doing in the current times and seasons.

Is His Blood Enough? A Personal Testimony Regarding Trauma

Is the blood of Jesus sufficient for all healing? Of course, His blood is absolutely sufficient for EVERY need—including healing and restoration from all kinds of trauma no matter how deep. However, laying hold of what He purchased and appropriating it into every area of life is, in fact, a process. Victory and process are not mutually exclusive.

This is a deeply personal—and very vulnerable—episode. I hadn’t planned on recording it and did so quite spontaneously in response to some recent online “chatter.” Had I spent a bit more time thinking through what I wanted to share, I probably would have said some things differently. But it is also quite likely that if  I had I waited, I wouldn’t have said anything at all! I knew the Lord was nudging me to follow through in that moment—(presence driven!) so that’s what I did. 

My prayer is that sharing my story might bring encouragement to those who absolutely believe Jesus purchased their FULL healing but are still in varying stages of walking it out in every area of their day-to-day lives.

Redefining Wholeheartedness (in the Wake of IHOPKC) w/ Kezia Hatfield, Part TWO

Join us today for part two of our conversation with Kezia Hatfield. We will pick up right where we left off last week as we continue to explore what wholeheartedness could (and probably should) look like when approached with a new lens in light of the shaking taking place at HOP-KC and in other parts of the Body of Christ.

As a reminder, Kezia is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in complex trauma. She also lived in Kansas City for seven years and was on staff at IHOP for a good portion of that time, which positions her to speak to this issue with a unique perspective. You can learn more about Kezia at https://flourishinternational.org

Redefining Wholeheartedness (in the Wake of IHOPKC), w/ Kezia Hatfield, Part ONE

We are living in a time where it seems like darkness is  being exposed everywhere we look—even in the church. Back in July of last year, Kezia Hatfield was on the podcast as we discussed the multi-layered issue of abuse in the church. Although we both believed we were only in the beginning days of  exposure, we could never have imagined how personally this issue would soon touch our lives. 

Join us today for a very raw and personal conversation about the fallout from the current scandal at the International House of Prayer. How do we stay connected to the heart of God in times of deep disillusionment and betrayal? Listen in as we discuss  a new definition for wholeheartedness that we hope will encourage those grappling with these very tough issues. (This episode is part one of two on this issue.)

She also lived in Kansas City for seven years and was on staff at IHOP for a good portion of that time, which positions her to speak to this issue with a unique perspective.

The Communion of Saints w/ Nick In't Hout

We are so happy to have Nick In't Hout with us again today! Join us as  we delve into the idea of presence led church and community. In particular, how does community affect our ability to persevere? And what role does this mysterious and mystical reality of the "communion of saints" have to do with our present day journey? 

As a reminder,  Nick is a leadership coach and mentor to many in our region and beyond. To find out more, visit his website at nickinthout.com 

Sadly, we are still having some technical difficulties (hardware) that will be evident in the sound of several episodes this season. We are closing in on a fix but couldn't go back and re-record the affected episodes. Apologies!
