This is a lighthearted conversation between Kristene and Talor highlighting the different aspects of Season Two. Look for Season Three of Renaissance Voices to launch soon.

Time Stamps

1:32: This season of Renaissance Voices was deep. Each guest brought something unique to the table. There is still so much to unpack.

2:19: Wholeness and freedom in Christ was a big theme in season two. 

3:10: Wholeness is being spiritually, mentally, and physically well. If you are lacking in one area, it overflows to the others.

9:00: Books on being healed from stress related illnesses are important books to write.

10:12: Natalie talked about overcoming anxiety which is another important book to write.

10:35: God wants to heal His body. This season, we heard from different voices that all make up the body of Christ. Things like prophetic ministry, Pastor Richard Knight, Hannah talking about cleansing the land and how that affected her.

11:24: We even touched on the body of Christ when we interviewed John Bates. You will have to go back and listen. It was a funny conversation.

12:03: We also talked about physical healing when Jesus met Junia in a dire situation in Haiti.

12:23: Prophetic ministry was certainly a theme. It’s normal ministry in the body of Christ because it is one of the five-fold ministries that Jesus gave to His Church.

14:52: We touched on the prophetic with Nathan Horton, but then we also brought up the gift of being a teacher. So that says to me that five-fold ministry is coming to the forefront as well.

15:18: We can say that with Nathan, Season Two of Renaissance Voices was built upon the foundation of faith which is interesting because that’s what a five-fold teacher should do!

16:15: Kristene and Talor are working on a book laying out what it takes to write your redemption story. We need your stories about how Jesus has met you in the deepest places and how He overcomes it all.

17:37: Language about what Jesus did on the cross has been lost in certain circles. When we don’t have stories that show us and when we don’t hear the message of the cross over and over, the Church begins to be shaped more into a religious structure instead of offering   the beautiful relationship that we are all invited into no matter our background.

In 2010, an earthquake hit Haiti that destroyed much of it's infrastructure. They are still recovering today. Junia Voltaire Demesle was attending class when her university collapsed upon her. She has written a book about her miraculous survival. Through severe injury, she managed to get home, heal both physically and emotionally, and then be one of the few chosen to attend a Bible college in the United States. 

Time Stamps:

8:40: When Joyce and Junia met, Junia had cut off the end of her thumb. 6 hours later, the doctor told her he didn’t think her thumb would grow back.

9:56: Intercessors at her church prayed that God would grow her thumb back and He did!

10:26: Junia’s book is called Survival. It is her testimony of how God saved her life during the Haitian Earthquake of 2010.

12:46: Junia was at the university when the earthquake hit. The building she was in collapsed upon all those in attendance. She was trapped in the rubble.

13:29: She felt as though someone pushed her as the building was collapsing. Instead of being in the middle of the room where she was standing, she ended up next to the door. 

15:02: When she gained consciousness, she began to yell out for help. A student who was looking for his sister came over to where Junia was trapped. He cleared the dirt from her face trying to see if it was his sister. When he realized it wasn’t, he left Junia. But he had cleared enough rubble from her face that she could now be heard as she cried out for help.

15:56: A janitor dragged her out of the rubble. This created more injuries and bleeding.

18:25: Junia’s friend from school took her to the hospital. When they got there, the hospital could not take in anymore people. Junia and her friend found a place to rest outside on the ground. Junia was bleeding and going into shock. She also was aware that she had broken bones and was in a desperate situation. Her friend laid on top of her and prayed like Elijah. 

21:28: They had to take clothes off someone who had died to make bandages and slings for Junia so that she did not bleed out.

21:40: Junia told her friend, if I do not die tonight, take me home.

21:52: Junia and her friend believed in the power of God to save her that night.

23:51: This book is a tremendous testimony of faith in God and persistence to survive. 

24:20: Junia was not only healed physically, but emotionally as well, and ended up attending Christ for the Nations Bible college in Dallas, TX.

Talor and I interview Hannah Scholz as we talk through a prayer assignment we were tasked with last year. In this assignment, a prayer team was formed to spiritually cleanse our church offices that had years before been a Planned Parenthood. Why is this conversation important for us today? Because America is now a post Roe v Wade nation, but we have yet to see revival take place. What if God is calling His intercessors into a nation-wide prayer assignment to cleanse the land of all the effects of abortion being so ingrained in our nation?

Time Stamps

4:50: I think many Christians assumed that revival would automatically hit America once Roe was no longer the law of the land. 
5:16: Yes, some legalities have happened that will allow for change to take place, but God is looking for His church to arise. God gets the glory in all things. There were some governmental aspects, political aspects, that allowed for an open door to revival, but God is still looking to us to do our part. So, the question would be, “What is our part?”
7:18: The offices of Freedom Fellowship once housed Planned Parenthood years ago. We underwent a season of intense warfare at Freedom and knew that we were dealing with a spirit of death and suicide. It became apparent to us that there were territorial spirits still tied to the land because of Planned Parenthood.
17:40: We can’t find the full healing we need (of anything) without going through the cross. We need to allow Jesus to exchange what the enemy meant for harm for the Lord’s healing touch on any given circumstance. So, we prayed through every aspect of what might have taken place at Planned Parenthood years ago and asked Jesus to make the exchange. 
20:12: Each night, as we prayed, Father showed us His compassionate heart as we dealt with the layers of things that needed to be cleansed.
21:45: Once some of the initial cleansing work was done, we began to see what God wanted to bring to Freedom and the deep purpose that God has for her. We began to pray that God’s life would be infused into Freedom corporately. We prayed for the staff and partnered with the Lord concerning what He wanted for each of them. 25:30: God led us in knowing how to pray according to His assignment, how to pray in authority, and how to know that our prayers were effectual.
26:27: Hannah learned during this assignment how the Lord does warfare. It wasn’t as heavy as she thought it might be. The Lord taught her to focus on what He was doing, not what the enemy was doing, and in that, she was able to rest. 
28:08: Much of warfare was worship. We worshipped through the hallways. We walked through and thanked Father for life. We thanked Him for His presence. And we thanked Him for what was to come. 
29:14: It was peaceful because we were bringing peace into the situation. 
31:26: We believe it is imperative that we begin to cleanse the land in the states that no longer allow abortion activity. We have the authority to do it. It’s hard in the sense that it’s big. But it’s not hard in the sense that God will lead us in how to do it.
