From Genesis to the resurrection, Scripture reveals something powerful about women in the Kingdom of God.In this message, Lisa Schwarz unpacks God’s original design for women, the spiritual hostility aimed against them, and the liberation Jesus brought through the Gospel.

It’s about returning to God’s original intent.Religion may have pushed women to the sidelines, but Jesus continually brought them back into the room.If you’ve ever questioned your value, your voice, your calling, or your place in the Kingdom — this message is for you.It’s time for women to arise.

You’ve Been Empowered But Are You Ready? 06.05.2026 56min

You may know who you are in Christ… but are you ready for the assignment He’s calling you into?In this powerful message, Lisa Schwarz unpacks the difference between the Holy Spirit in you for your identity and the Holy Spirit upon you for your assignment. Through the story of Esther, she reveals that divine purpose is not just about calling… it’s about preparation. Before Esther stepped into the moment she was born for, she went through a season of scouring and polishing. And the same is true for us.Lisa challenges listeners to confront the places where old wounds, false beliefs, compromise, and spiritual comfort have kept them from becoming ready for what God wants to birth through their lives. This message is both an invitation and a wake up call: God has not only called you, He has empowered you… but preparation still matters.In this episode, you’ll hear:The difference between your God given identity and your God given assignmentWhy healing and preparation are essential before birthing purposeHow compromise, comfort, and old patterns can delay what God wants to doWhy intimacy with God matters more than strivingWhat it looks like to become spiritually ready for the next thing God is asking of youGod is not finished with your story.He is still preparing, refining, healing, and positioning you for what He already placed inside you.Stay connected: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/buFNYvv Hosted on Acast.

What if the greatest battle in your life isn’t about what happened to you—but about what you’ve agreed with?In this powerful message, Lisa Schwarz unpacks the tension between identity and assignment, showing how many believers know what God says… but still live in agreement with fear, shame, pain, disappointment, or the voices of their past. Through bold teaching and personal testimony, Lisa reveals why transformation doesn’t come from information alone—it comes when truth becomes agreement.This episode explores the difference between hearing God’s Word and actually aligning your life with it. Lisa challenges listeners to stop letting culture, trauma, emotion, and old narratives define them—and instead step fully into the identity Jesus has already secured.In this message, you’ll hear:Why identity is essential to stepping into your assignmentHow agreement shapes the way you liveThe difference between knowing truth and doing truthWhy encounter matters in real transformationHow to break agreement with old narratives and align with what God saysYou are not confined to the definition your past tried to give you.In Christ, a new story has already been written.This is an invitation to stop rehearsing old labels and start living from the truth of who God says you are.Stay connected: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/buFNYvv Hosted on Acast.

Come and See: Discipleship That Happens in Real Life 03.03.2026 32min

Discipleship was never meant to stay in a classroom—it was meant to move into your life.In Part 3 of the Come and See Conference series, Lisa Schwarz returns to Jesus’ invitation in John 1: “Come and see.” Not “Come and listen,” not “Come and learn,” but come close… and stay awhile. This message reframes mentorship and spiritual leadership as something deeply relational: opening your life, inviting others alongside you, and letting transformation happen through proximity, practice, and presence.Lisa unpacks what it means to be a “Paul” who raises up others without creating mini-mes—cultivating theiranointing, not copying yours. She also lays out the heart posture required for true discipleship: humility, vulnerability, compassion, sacrifice, and service—modeled in Jesus’ own life, all the way to His final act of washing feet.You’ll hear why disciples grow fastest when they’re:         •       Invited into real life, not just given advice         •       Mentored with compassion and patience         •       Walking alongside someone who demonstrates         •       Loved wellThis is discipleship with sleeves rolled up.A life that says, “Come with me… and watch what Jesus does.”This episode continues the Come and See series (Parts 1–2), exploring how discipleship becomes powerful when it becomes personal.To go deeper, read: Come and See: The Jesus Approach to Equipping Biblical DisciplesStay connected: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/buFNYvv Hosted on Acast.

From Clips to Context: Knowing Jesus Beyond the Moment 02.02.2026 52min

It’s possible to admire Jesus—and still sense there is more.In Part 2 of the Come and See Conference series, Lisa invites listeners to examine the quiet tension many believers carry: knowing about Jesus without truly knowing Him. Drawing from Matthew 16, the life of Peter, and the difference between spectatorship and discipleship, this message explores why transformation falters when faith is built on information alone.Rather than rushing toward imitation, Lisa slows the conversation down—emphasizing intimacy before response, revelation before movement, and encounter before expression. This teaching speaks to those who feel unsatisfied with surface-level faith and long for a deeper, more personal knowing of Jesus.This message will help you reflect on:The difference between observing Jesus and walking with HimWhy revelation often precedes transformationHow personal encounter reshapes the way we followWhy faith rooted in relationship carries endurance and depthHow knowing who Jesus is to you changes everythingDiscipleship doesn’t begin with performance—it begins with relationship.And following Jesus flows naturally from truly knowing Him.To go deeper, read: Come and See: The Jesus Approach to Equipping Biblical DisciplesStay connected: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/buFNYvv Hosted on Acast.

Discipleship Isn’t a Class—It’s a Calling 05.01.2026 47min

We’ve confused discipleship with information. But Jesus never said, “Come and take notes.” He said, “Come and follow Me.”In this powerful first message from the Come and See Conference, Lisa Schwarz calls us back to the heart of biblical discipleship—an immersive, relational, and transformational way of life. Drawing from Jesus’ own model, she unpacks why the Great Commission isn’t just about making converts, but producing multipliers.You’ll discover:    • Why discipleship must be demonstrated, not just taught    • How spiritual transformation requires more than biblical knowledge    • The difference between knowing the Word and doing it    • Why relationship, imitation, and practice are the keys to multiplicationThis message is an invitation to embody the life of Jesus, not simply admire His teachings.Because discipleship is proven by demonstration, not declaration.To go deeper, read: Come and See: The Jesus Approach to Equipping Biblical DisciplesStay connected: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/buFNYvv Hosted on Acast.
