Today we are going to break down the SIFT Method a little bit more.  The SIFT METHOD is a set of steps that will keep you moving forward in making lasting change a reality in your life.  But first, we’re going to get back to the basics as we ask these questions:
What is the wilderness?
How can the wilderness benefit us?
Why should we celebrate our wilderness seasons with others instead of verbally trashing them?

The impact of an encounter with God in the wilderness creates lasting change and it helps us become more than Change Makers but Cycle-Breakers too.

The imperfect people of the Bible reveal to us the how-to of making lasting change in our lives. I hope you’ll join me to hear more about being a Cycle-Breaker & living your life counter-culturally on today’s episode. We’ve been given the tools we need to say, “This ends in me…” (and mean it).

On today's episode we will be diving into what it means to be a change-maker and how knowing the definitions of sin and grace helps us live a set apart life. 

Why do we need grace? Because sin abounds. This taboo topic is vital for understanding our self sabotaging ways so we can begin to choose differently.

Are you tired of being tripped up by the same old things? Can’t shake that one thing that keeps entangling you?

Where sin abounds…grace lingers. Listen in for insights on how to wipe out your track record and begin again.

Change is possible because grace is the grit we need to keep getting back up  when we stumble.

Welcome to the The Grace Frontier podcast where you’ll learn about forging your way to freedom, faith, & self-forgiveness. Hi, I’m your host Amy Elaine Martinez. I’m a wife, mama, writer, dog mom, mother in law, grandma, former radio host and Bible teacher, just to name a few of my wonderful roles in life. 

This podcast is for the woman who thinks she cannot change.

It’s for the mother who feels lost and doesn’t know where to turn.

It’s for the daughter who longs to walk confidently and find the grace to finally forgive herself. 

It’s for the girl who has tried it all, given up a thousand times and wrestles with what she’s done and who she’s become.

Do any of those statements resonate with your heart? Then you’re in the right place, sweet friend. 

If you’ve ever searched “how can I ever forgive myself” on the internet, take a listen to The Grace Frontier. 

I love to connect with women and inspire them to walk in wholeness and live in victory, the life that God intends for all His precious daughters (and sons). 

It’s time to get out of your comfort zone and onto The Grace Frontier.

Are you ready to get back out there? Some are, some not so much. That's what we're talking about in this episode of the Past to Power Podcast. Join your co-hosts, Amy Elaine Martinez & LaTan Roland Murphy for some real talk and real answers for life. Your past is power is the hands of a holy, loving God. We're here to encourage you to GO COURAGEOUSLY & LIVE VICTORIOUSLY!

In this episode, we’re talking about the power of the words we speak over ourselves.IT’S NOT NATURAL, WE KNOW…Speaking life over ourselves doesn’t always come naturally. It’s easier to say great things about others than over ourselves. In this week’s Past to Power episode Amy Elaine and LaTan have a great conversation about how to be kinder to ourselves.Something powerful happens when we learn to speak kindly to ourselves.Instead of feeling defeated, we become confident about who we are in Christ. Knowing our identity and agreeing with what God says about us allows us to walk out our best life. If necessary, make yourself a note and stick it on the fridge. No more comparing, complaining, and criticizing, be kind to ourselves.WORDS LIKE HONEYTry speaking kindly to yourself when you look in the mirror in the morning. Perhaps, you don’t know what to say. God’s Word is a great place to start if you’re at a loss for words. Pick up the Psalms to nourish your soul. Most importantly, find scriptures to refresh and renew your thoughts.“Gracious speech is like clover honey— good taste to the soul, quick energy for the body.” Proverbs 16:24 MSGWe’d love to hear your thoughts about how to stay positive when speaking to ourselves. If possible, leave us a comment and a thumbs up on the podcast. You can hear all our previous episodes by tuning into YouTube, SoundCloud, Spotify, and Apple. Here’s a link to a recent episode with author, Janell Rardon. Grace upon grace over you.

Where is God in our suffering? After the 2009 shootings at the YWAM campus in Denver, this question burned on the hearts of our community. Like all tragedies, those left behind are left to ponder this question. This weekend’s show features Peter Warren of YWAM ! Peter wrote his book, “When the Shooting Stopped: Where is God When We Suffer” in the wake of this tragedy and his own grief. As a leader, he needed these answers as much as those around him. This book is really “a defense of God’s character.” Join us for some great insight from renowned author, teacher, preacher, and Jesus Freak, Peter Warren! He speaks right into the heart of the suffering we’ve experienced in the past year and we’re honored to share this interview with you!

The Grace Parade is such a beautiful picture of what God does in our lives. We can't wait to share this week's episode with you. On today's show, we have special guest, Janell Rardon joining us. Her new book, "Stronger Every Day: 9 Tools for an Emotionally Healthy You." is a must read. Listen in and find out why.The Power of Sharing Our Stories- speaking healing words to your future. How we can move through lives with positive assertiveness. (Pg 138- Tool 5, Stronger Every Day: 9 Tools for an Emotionally Healthy You by Janell Rardon)Janell shares a beautiful story of moving beyond the sting of shame into the life God had designed for her.There is freedom waiting for us on the other side of sharing our stories. She is clothes in strength and dignity. Psalm 31:25POWERFUL REGRET QUOTE “Regret is a short, evocative and achingly beautiful word: an elegy to lost possibilities …To admit regret is to understand that we are fallible - that there are powers beyond us… fully experienced, it turns our eyes, attentive and alert, to a future possibly lived better than our past." ~ David Whyte, poetWalk of shame turned into a walk of grace. No smell of fire on you. (Daniel 3:36-37) When we turn our lives over to God, there comes a point where we are so removed from our past and our sin that others won't believe who we were because now they see WHO WE WERE MEANT TO BE IN CHRIST. PIVOTAL POINT IN BOOK- discusses the Game of ThronesSeason 5 Finale- If you've experienced shame, it will ring a bell for you. While the LIAR calls, "shame, shame, shame...." Jesus' voice affirms your true identity in Christ, This is a powerful scene and you won't want to miss Janell's insight. Book Recommendation from Janell:The Soul of Shame Dr. Curt ThompsonWe all have a shame attendant. We like to call him, LIAR, because that's exactly what he's does. Our enemy is hellbent on lying to us. Yet, Jesus wants to speak Truth over us because that is Who He is. The Way, The Truth, The Life! THE GRACE PARADENow, God walks behind us and before us saying, “GRACE, GRACE!”We can be stronger every day because of He who is in us. (1 John 4:4)Look for this Affirmation in the book: Shame Shake Off- Prayer:Father, you are a God who sends a parade of grace before us. Thank you for making us stronger every day! Amen.A Jesus encounter changes everything. - page 142, Stronger Every Day by Janell RardonWe are all on a journey. Healing doesn’t happen in isolation. We need to be with one another and encourage one another. Janell is a Life Coach, Author, and Therapist. She lives in VA with her husband. Her website is a wealth of information. We can't encourage you enough to go check it out. (You are welcome ;) )Connect with Janell:janellrardon.com Yes, listeners...You are stronger than you know! We love meeting you right here each week!

In this episode of Past to Power, Dog the Bounty Hunter and his fiancée, Francie Frane chat with us about the power of God on the road. Most assuredly, the people we meet aren't there by accident, but by divine design. Dog shares some stories of praying for the people he meets. ”God brings the people we need to accomplish His purposes.” DogWhether at the grocery store, the airport, or the gas station. God places people in our paths to minister to them. When we say yes to God we align ourselves with the true Power Source! Both Francie and Dog said that what they thought would be the end was only just the beginning. When we surrender to God, He shows up and takes our pain and uses it for his purposes. Through our pain, God turns it all around and redeems our pain. “When we’re willing to plug into the power source of Heaven, everything changes.” ~ LaTan Roland Murphy, cohost of Past to PowerPlugging into the Power Source of HeavenThere comes a point in our lives where we say, ‘enough is enough‘ and that's when God can do His best work. Knowing there's always someone else out there who has it worse than you brings us to a place of compassion for others. Many times, God uses our stories to let others know they are not alone. This is where community happens. Join us for some great conversation with Dog & Francie in Part 2 of our interview with them.

Today's episode of Past to Power with Amy Elaine & LaTan features special guest, Tracie Miles of Proverbs 31 Ministries. We're talking about her new book, “Living Unbroken: Reclaiming Your Heart and Your Life after Divorce.”In a recent article, Tracie wrote, ”Grief is a painful season to endure, regardless of why you are grieving, but it is necessary for the healing process to play out.” She quoted, William Cowper, an English poet and hymnodist: “Grief is itself a medicine.” Tracie goes onto say, ”It cleanses our souls from anguish and helps us keep moving through the stages of healing our hearts need. Grief is the process God can use to help us arrive at a place of healing, wholeness and happiness.”This is exactly the reason we invited Tracie on the show today to share her Past to Power story with you. Though it may be the hardest thing ever to stop trying to hold onto something we need to let go of, God will walk through seasons of grief with us. Part of the grieving process is acceptance which ”opens the door to move forward.”Tracie reminds us that “the end of your marriage isn't the end of you.” Finding your identity in moments of crisis can be a turning point where you turn pain into purpose. Join us to hear Tracie's top 2 of things you need to know. In the end, there is hope. Letting go of what can't be and trusting God with your future is where healing begins.
