Journal Entry: Living From the Worthiness of Jesus (Part Two) 06.07.2026 38min

This episode is a continuation of our Journal Entries conversation on living from the worthiness of Jesus. As we continue unpacking this revelation, we explore why the conviction that Jesus is worthy of everything cannot simply be borrowed from someone else's testimony—it has to become a personal conviction that has been formed in the secret place. A belief that hasn't been personally established won't remain standing when it's tested. We also talk about how living from the reality of Jesus' worthiness doesn't just change what we do—it changes who we become. As we continually offer our lives unto Him, He faithfully shapes our hearts, renews our minds, and forms Christ within us. This conversation is an invitation to let the worthiness of Jesus become more than a theological idea, but the foundation from which every decision, sacrifice, and ordinary moment flows.

Journal Entry: Living From the Worthiness of Jesus (Part One) 29.06.2026 46min

Welcome to our first ever Journal Entries episode—a new series on The Consecrated Podcast where we invite you into the more personal, raw, and in-process parts of our walk with God. These episodes are straight from our journals and personal time with the Lord. They are less about polished teachings and more about sharing what God is revealing to us in real time. Our hope is that this becomes an invitation to grow together—to wrestle, reflect, and encounter Jesus alongside us. In this first Journal Entries episode, we talk about what it means to live from the reality of Jesus’ worthiness. Fedhii shares a personal encounter from his journal where he saw a bustling community of people living with one common intention: to do all things unto Jesus. It was a picture of people whose lives were anchored in the revelation that Jesus is worthy—not just of our worship songs or ministry moments, but of everything. We talk about how when you truly live from the conviction that Jesus is worthy of it all, everything becomes worship. Washing dishes, going to work, serving people, building, creating—ordinary moments begin to carry eternal significance. Life becomes filled with meaning, purpose, and vibrancy when everything is done unto Him. Whether your work looks like ministry or something completely outside of it, your life has profound purpose when it is lived for Jesus. He is worthy of every part of our lives.

The Way of Trust 22.06.2026 34min

In this episode, we talk about the way of trust through the story of Peter walking on water. Peter was able to do the impossible as long as his eyes were fixed on Jesus—but the moment he shifted his focus to the wind and waves around him, he began to sink. How often is that true for us? So easily, we become consumed with our emotions, our circumstances, our fears, and our plans for the future. We spiral inward, focusing on ourselves and everything happening around us, while slowly taking our eyes off the One who is holding us. The Christian walk becomes exhausting when we spend most of our time looking at ourselves instead of looking at Jesus. We were never meant to carry the weight of life in our own strength—we were made to lean on Him. This episode is a reminder to fix your eyes back on the Lord and trust Him, even when life doesn’t look the way you expected. The invitation remains the same: keep your eyes on Him.

Who Defines You? Part 2 15.06.2026 45min

In this episode, we continue the conversation around the question: Who defines you? We explore the reality that identity was never meant to be self-created or determined by the opinions of others. Just as God intentionally designed every fingerprint to be unique, He was even more intentional in forming our inward being. Our personalities, desires, gifts, and distinct characteristics are not accidents—they were crafted by a Creator who knows us completely. We discuss the picture of the pot and the potter, and how a pot cannot define its own purpose apart from the one who made it. In the same way, we were created to discover who we are through the One who formed us. When we allow God to define us, we find clarity, purpose, and security that cannot be found through self-identification or external validation. We also unpack a common misconception about following Jesus: that surrendering to Him means losing our individuality. The opposite is true. Jesus does not erase our personalities—He redeems and fills them. In His creative nature, He forms each person with unique expressions, gifts, and characteristics that reflect His glory. The closer we become to Him, the more we discover who we were actually created to be.

Who Defines You? Part 1 08.06.2026 39min

In this episode, Fedhii shares a powerful encounter with the Lord that exposed a subtle but significant struggle in his heart: allowing things other than God to define who he is. Whether through accomplishments, failures, gifts, relationships, or the opinions of others, it's easy to build our identity on labels that were never meant to carry that weight. Together, we explore the question: Who has the right to define us? If we are created beings, can we truly establish our own identity apart from the One who created us? And why do we so often give other people more authority over our identity than God Himself? Through personal reflection and biblical truth, this conversation unpacks how every label apart from Jesus ultimately leaves us unsettled because it was never designed to be our foundation. At the heart of this episode is a simple but transformative reality: Jesus is the only One who paid the full price for our lives, and therefore He alone has the rightful authority to define who we are. To belong fully to Jesus is to surrender not only our lives to Him, but also our right to label ourselves.

Choose It Until You Believe It 01.06.2026 45min

In this episode, we explore how easily our circumstances can shape our perception of who God is in a given season. Biiftuu shares a recent encounter with a friend that brought conviction in real time. Despite walking through financial uncertainty and tight circumstances, they continued to live generously because their lives were built on the belief that God would provide—and they chose to live accordingly. But what happens when our emotions, circumstances, and personal narratives seem to contradict what God says about Himself? Through personal stories and honest reflection, we discuss the struggle of believing God is Provider when our own lives seem to tell a different story. While we focus specifically on provision, we also acknowledge the many other false beliefs we can carry about God's character. Together, we unpack the journey of choice—how faith often begins not with feeling, but with deciding to believe what Scripture says is true. We talk about the slow process of repeatedly choosing trust, even when belief feels distant, and how over time those choices begin to shape our hearts. Eventually, what starts as a conscious decision becomes a deeply rooted conviction, where God's truth carries more weight than our emotions or circumstances. Until belief takes root, we continue making decisions in the direction of Jesus, trusting that our inner world will eventually reflect what we have chosen to believe.

Jesus & Ambition 25.05.2026 34min

In this episode, we sit down with Fedhii to talk about Jesus and ambition—starting with the story of the rich young ruler in Mark 10:17-31. Together, we unpack Jesus’ words about how difficult it is for the rich to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, and how wealth itself was never the real issue. Fedhii challenges the idea that money is automatically evil by pointing to Abraham and David—men who had wealth yet still walked with God. The real problem is the love of money and the ambition, attachment, and identity that can become wrapped around it. Throughout the conversation, we talk about how wealth is only one example of the many things that can slowly take the place of Jesus in our hearts. Fedhii makes the bold statement that Jesus and ambition cannot coexist. We discuss the importance of guarding your heart because the very thing God once gave you as a gift—a calling, platform, dream, talent, or success—can eventually become an idol if it is exalted above Him. This episode is a challenging and honest conversation about surrender, lordship, identity, and what it truly means to follow Jesus when He asks for everything.

The Journey of Belonging with Donta Nelson 18.05.2026 51min

In the final episode of Biiftuu’s solo series (for now), we sit with Donta Nelson — a creative, pastor, and leader at Bethel Church — for an honest conversation about belonging, healing, and obedience. Donta vulnerably shares his journey of moving beyond triggers, numbness, and survival mode, and how God slowly taught him what it means to truly belong in Him. What started as simple obedience led Donta into places he never imagined — including serving as a pastor at Bethel for the last 10 years. In this episode, we talk about the painful yet beautiful process of surrender, the ways God meets us in hidden seasons, and how dying to ourselves often becomes the doorway into the life God has always intended for us.

Costly Obedience with Barkot Surafel 11.05.2026 1h

In the next part of Biiftuu’s solo series, we sit down with one of her closest friends, Barkot Surafel, to talk about what it means to walk in “Costly Obedience” to God. As the associate youth pastor and creative director at Bethel Church, Barkot vulnerably shares about one of the hardest seasons of her life — a season where God asked her to stay in Redding, away from her friends, family, and community, and trust Him to open a door in His timing. What followed was a two-year season of dying — where life on the other side of obedience looked nothing like she expected. In the waiting, Barkot had to confront false beliefs, insecurities, disappointment, and the painful process of surrender. But in the midst of the heartbreak, she also discovered that the most fruitful seasons are often born in hidden obedience. In this episode, we talk about the cost of following Jesus, the tension of trusting God when promises feel delayed, and the beauty of discovering that Jesus Himself is the reward. Barkot reflects on how this season deepened her understanding of the worthiness of Christ and taught her that if she has Jesus, she truly has everything. Even after the pain, tears, and stretching of costly obedience, she can now look back and confidently say: it is always worth it.

Walking With God Through Heavy Seasons with Rory Helart 04.05.2026 1h 5min

In this next episode of Biiftuu’s Solo Series, we sit down with Rory Helart—the Director of Young Saints, the youth ministry of Bethel Church—a leader and pastor whose life reflects a deep, lived encounter with God, and someone we honor deeply for the way he walks with Jesus. Rory opens up about a heavy season, sharing with raw honesty the tension between leaning into God through pain or turning away and deconstructing when things don’t make sense. Through the language of marriage, he paints a sobering picture of how easily we can become unfaithful in our relationship with God when following Him gets hard, yet reminds us that true faith is forged when we choose to remain in the heartache. He unpacks the dismantling of a subtle but damaging belief—that God’s goodness is earned by our behavior—and wrestles with what it looks like to trust Him when suffering comes without explanation, especially as loved ones face deep health struggles. This conversation is a powerful invitation to stay, to trust, and to remain faithful even when the cost feels high.

Comparison & Contentment with Chantelle Nelson 27.04.2026 52min

In this first installment of Biiftuu’s Solo Series—a four-part journey featuring conversations with trusted mentors, pastors, and close friends—we sit down with Chantelle Nelson for an honest and deeply personal conversation on comparison and contentment. Chantelle opens up about her own struggle with comparison within her marriage, vulnerably sharing the tension she felt watching her husband step into opportunities that once felt like her dreams. She doesn’t shy away from the “ugly” parts—revealing how comparison exposed deeper issues in her heart and challenged her understanding of identity, purpose, and calling. Together, we explore what it means to embrace the seemingly “unflashy” seasons of life. Chantelle reflects on her journey of becoming content in motherhood and in the hidden places God had her, learning to release resentment and instead receive that season as intentional and necessary. What once would have defined her—platform, visibility, and outward success—no longer holds the same weight. Now, when opportunities that feel like dreams come, they’re not the source of fulfillment, but simply an addition to an already anchored life. This episode is a powerful reminder that the quiet seasons often shape us the most—and that true contentment is found not in chasing what others have, but in trusting God with exactly where you are.

The Promise Is Not The Point 20.04.2026 42min

In this episode, we unpack a hard but necessary truth: the promise is not the point. So often, in wilderness seasons marked by waiting, uncertainty, and difficulty, our eyes become fixed on the “Promised Land”—the breakthrough, the answered prayer, the next chapter. But in doing so, we can lose sight of the Person who is faithfully leading us there. We reflect on the story of the Israelites, who, even after receiving the promise, quickly turned to idolatry—revealing that fulfillment in circumstances doesn’t satisfy what was always meant to be rooted in relationship with God. The same temptation exists for us: to believe that if we just arrive, everything inside us will finally feel whole. But the truth is, no promise can fill what only His presence was meant to. The voids, the questions, the longings—they don’t disappear just because the situation changes. This episode is an invitation to reorient our hearts. To cling not to outcomes, but to Him. To let intimacy with Jesus be the anchor in every season. Because when we learn to love Him in the wilderness, every promise, every blessing, every answered prayer becomes what it was always meant to be—an addition, not the foundation.

Jesus is the Answer 13.04.2026 40min

In this episode, Fedhii shares a powerful, personal moment sparked by a billboard that read, “Jesus is the answer to all of your problems.” What could’ve been easy to overlook instead became deeply real in a season where he was struggling—reminding him that Jesus isn’t just a phrase or a cliché, but a present and faithful answer in the middle of real life. From there, the conversation leans into the tension of what it actually looks like to follow Christ wholeheartedly. Referencing 1 Corinthians 4, we talk about how the disciples were seen as fools for Christ—misunderstood, overlooked, and even ridiculed—but still counted it all worth it. A central thread of this episode is the reminder that a life rightly ordered is a life oriented around loving Jesus—where everything else finds its place when He is at the center. There’s an invitation in this episode to embrace a faith that isn’t always comfortable or understood by the world, but is rooted in the unshakable truth that He is worth everything. This episode is both a reminder and a challenge: Jesus is the answer—but are we willing to live like we believe it?

Micah Turnbo: Part Two 06.04.2026 1h 14min

In this episode, we continue our conversation with Micah Turnbo—a man who carries a genuine, deep friendship with God and lives with a heart to make others His friends too. We go deeper into what it looks like to walk in ongoing connection with God, talking through the reality of the spiritual realm and the tension that often surrounds it. Micah shares how the enemy works to distort, distract, and disconnect us from true intimacy—and how we can remain grounded in truth, love, and discernment. This conversation is an invitation—into deeper trust, deeper clarity, and a faith that isn’t shaken by fear or confusion. If you’ve been longing to grow in your relationship with God but have felt unsure or hesitant, this episode will encourage you to stay rooted in His voice and confident in His nearness.

Micah Turnbo: Part One 30.03.2026 52min

In this episode, we sit down with Micah Turnbo—a man who carries a genuine, deep friendship with God and lives with a heart to make others His friends too. We talk about Micah’s early encounters with Jesus and the visions that shaped his life, not to elevate an experience, but to reveal what’s actually available to all of us. His story challenges the idea that intimacy with God is rare, and instead reminds us that connection with Him is meant to be natural, childlike, and consistent. This conversation is an invitation—back to simplicity, back to wonder, and back to real relationship with Jesus. If you’ve ever felt distant or like there’s “more,” this episode will stir your heart to believe that friendship with God is closer than you think.

What Does It Mean to "Abandon Yourself To The Lord?" 23.03.2026 33min

In this episode, we dive into what it truly means to abandon yourself to the Lord—not as a one-time decision, but as a daily, ongoing surrender. We unpack how abandonment is less about a single moment and more about a gradual deepening of trust and devotion. Using the analogy of drinking coffee, Fedhii illustrates how what may start as a simple, intentional choice can grow into something you genuinely desire. In the same way, choosing God day by day leads to a deeper hunger for Him. As you continue to “taste and see,” your heart begins to long for more of His presence, and surrender becomes less of a discipline and more of a delight. This episode is an invitation to embrace the process—choosing Him daily, trusting that over time, your desire for God will grow into something steady, rooted, and transformative.

When Things Aren't Going According To Plan 16.03.2026 46min

In this episode, we talk about how fear can cause us to cling tightly to the plans we’ve made for our lives instead of trusting the Person who leads us. When our expectations feel threatened, it’s easy to become anxious, frustrated, or even disappointed with God. Throughout Scripture, we see this tension again and again. Mary and Martha were confused when Jesus didn’t come the way they expected. Moses and the Israelites cried out in frustration in the wilderness. Even the death and resurrection of Christ unfolded in a way the disciples never anticipated. Time after time, God’s plans looked different than what people imagined—but His faithfulness never changed. In this episode, we invite listeners to loosen their grip on their own plans and hold tightly to the One who holds tomorrow. Because real peace isn’t found in everything going according to our plan—it’s found in trusting the heart of the One who is leading us.

Melodie & David Di Rocco: Part Two (English Episode) 09.03.2026 53min

In this powerful continuation of our conversation with Melodie and David, we dive even deeper into what it was like being raised in supernatural ministry — not just the beauty of it, but the weight of it. Children to Apostle Ricardo Di Rocco, Melodie and David give honest insight into the world behind the camera. This episode begins with a conversation about community. In the book of Acts, after Jesus ascended, there was a moment where Scripture says no one among them had need — because they were meeting one another’s needs. We wrestle with how different that can look in the Western church today — where it’s so easy to rush in, consume a service, and rush out without ever building real connection. We also take an honest look at something we don’t talk about enough: how quickly people can attach “the Lord said” to something that may actually be rooted in insecurity, fear, or a desire to be heard. We discuss how powerful those words are — and how deeply they can affect someone’s life when they’re spoken carelessly. This conversation is reflective, challenging, and hopeful. If you haven’t listened to part one yet, we strongly encourage you to start there first so you can fully grasp the heart behind everything we unpack here.

Ricardo DiRocco: Part Two (Spanish Episode) 09.03.2026 36min

In this second part of our conversation with Ricardo DiRocco, we continue exploring what it truly means to cultivate friendship with God. We dive deeper into the posture of the heart — especially the importance of listening. Not just speaking to God, but learning how to recognize His voice, discern truth, and trust what He reveals. Ricardo shares insights on surrender, humility, and the tension between our understanding and God’s perspective. Together, we reflect on how friendship with God requires intentionality, honesty, and a willingness to grow beyond our assumptions. This episode challenges us to slow down, pay attention, and lean into a deeper, more personal relationship with Him. If you missed part one, be sure to go back and listen — this conversation builds beautifully on that foundation.

Melodie & David Di Rocco: Part One (English Episode) 02.03.2026 54min

This week, we’re releasing two episodes simultaneously—one fully in English and the other fully in Spanish. In the Spanish episode, Fedhii sits down with Ricardo Di Rocco, a traveling speaker, pastor, and evangelist who faithfully walks in the supernatural. Ricardo has witnessed countless salvations, healings, and miraculous encounters, and he has dedicated his life to stewarding God’s supernatural work. What makes his ministry truly remarkable is that it flows out of a deep friendship with God, evident in the abundant fruit that follows him. In this episode, Biiftuu continues the conversation through the eyes of Ricardo’s children, Melodie and David. In part one, we dive into their childhood experiences growing up in a supernatural environment and explore the lasting impact it’s had on their personal relationships with God. They share what it’s like to be in ministry from birth, the lessons they’ve learned during their current “carpenter seasons,” and how easy it can be to elevate the supernatural while overlooking the everyday moments where God is faithfully present. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of faith, family, and the balance between the miraculous and the mundane. Note: If you want to listen to the Spanish episode but don’t speak Spanish, you can turn on subtitles on YouTube. Connect with Ricardo and his family:ricardodirocco.org
