Autumn Miles Podcast

God has called you to do something, but there’s a problem: you’re BLOCKED. You are facing insecurity in yourself, you have enemies calling you names, your friends have turned against you, or literal obstacles are blocking your way to keep going forward. These blocks or stops are no stranger to God. In fact, you may not even realize He led you there to gain wisdom from facing the blocks.  Moses faced the same things in his lifetime, and we as believers will all face the same ones probably multiple times in our lives! So HOW do we move forward? We stand against them, and God acts. We obey His Word, and God acts. If God has led you there, He will move you past those blocks.   Monologue: Autumn recites a sweet senior ceremony moment from her kids’ high school.  Message: After the break, Autumn defines the four types of Red Seas that Moses faced and believers will ultimately face throughout our lives.  Question: “How did you know it was God telling you that the “wrong direction” was actually the right way?"  Prais

What do you do when someone has hurt you in such a way it feels impossible to forgive them? Maybe you've been carrying the hurt for years. Maybe the hurt was done to you by someone you thought you could trust, somebody close to you. Here's the deal: forgiveness wasn't designed to release that person of the wrongdoing they did, God's justice and their repentance does that. Forgiveness was designed to set us FREE and remove the burden of festering bitterness from us. That is why Jesus told us to forgive 70 times 7, because God knew we would need to forgive to release us from the bondage of bitterness.    Monologue: Autumn tells of a small window of normalcy during a transition season in her family.  Message: After the break, Autumn describes reasons for forgiveness and Joseph's experience of forgiving his brothers during the famine in Egypt.  Question: “What is your suggestion for diving into the Word everyday?"  Praise Report: A listener shares how God has blessed her after obeying His call to move a thousand

Have you been waiting for something God has promised you? HOW have you been waiting? God has made promises in Scripture, and we can trust that He STILL makes promises and delivers His promises today. Abraham waited 25 years for God's promise to be fulfilled to him, and along the way, he lost his trust and even tried to do it himself. Even though Abraham messed up, God still confirmed and reconfirmed His promises to Abraham and that He WILL deliver on those promises. We also can wait on God in spirit, rather than wait on "it" in flesh.     Monologue: Autumn recounts an unbelievable experience with a women's prison worship event. Message: After the break, Autumn relays two different ways of waiting and the two different means of waiting. Are you waiting on that “thing” promised to you, or are you waiting on God to deliver on His promises to you? And, are you waiting in the flesh or in the Spirit?  Question: “What do you do when a friend from the past comes back into your life and you aren’t the same person as b

Pharaoh relied so heavily on the Israelites in Egypt, that he could not fathom letting God’s people go. Pharaoh was enslaved to the comfort the Israelites brought him so much, that it required God’s mighty hand to compel him to let them go. God called him to let them go, and Pharaoh didn’t want to do the work to function without them. If God has called YOU to let go of something, and you haven’t given it to the Lord out of fear of the discomfort it might cause you to be without it, that thing has become your master. Pharaoh is not as different from us than we might think, but we still have the choice to let whatever that thing is go.    Monologue: Autumn delights in a recent moment with her son, Moses, teaching her with such authority how to fish. Message: After the break, Autumn brings the practical to how to let go and lay down something that God has called believers to let go, calling back to Pharaoh in the book of Exodus when he was called to let God’s people go. Question: “What do you recommend when your

Elijah was faithful, but he was STILL in the drought that fell over Israel. But he did not have to suffer, because God provides for those who are His. Sometimes, His provision is through a crazy, strange thing, like ravens. If Elijah REJECTED the ravens that God provided to bring him food, Elijah would not have survived. Don’t reject the provision God is placing before you because it looks different to you, unexpected, or even unwanted.   Monologue: Autumn describes a blessing that caused an initially unsettling quietness during the dog days of summer at the Miles’ home. Message: After the break, Autumn reminds believers that droughts, deficits, or the loudness of the world does not mean that believers have to suffer with it, because while the rest of the world is lacking, God is a God of provision. Question: “What are some of the purposes of using anointing oil, how does one get some, and what does using anointing oil do?"  Praise Report: Autumn shares a sweet story about her daughter’s gift of prophecy.   

The Pharisees had it backwards when they only APPEARED holy but were EMPTY on the inside. God's holiness calls YOU to “be Holy” because He is Holy. While that is intimidating, it is best to know the difference between religion and true holiness. Religion focuses on, "don't do this," and "don't do that," but walking in holiness is seeking the Holy Spirit and doing the right thing that God is at the center of. Make sure you get the difference between holiness and religion.    Monologue: Autumn recalls her family's Independence Day activities and an ironic moment with a family relative. Message: After the break, Autumn differentiates being holy and being religious and describes exactly what God calls believers to do concerning His holiness. Question: “What do you do when your church has told you you ask for too much prayer?"  Praise Report: A listener shares how they are celebrating three years sobers of all substances.    Bible References: 1 Peter 1:13-16, 2:9 Leviticus 11:44-45 Galatians 2:20-21 *All verses ar

When was the last time you chose stillness with the Spirit of God over the phone ringing, scrolling social media, kids yelling, or some other thing that keeps you busy? We, as believers, NEED to have holy ground moments with God more regularly than we actually have them. These holy ground moments are moments we are in the presence of the Lord, and there is something so special about them, we CANNOT afford to neglect the call of His voice. So put the phone down, and enter that holy ground moment with Him.   Monologue: Autumn shares how she got her husband hooked on a fascinating Netflix show he was hesitant to watch at first. Message: After the break, Autumn extracts the details from the two instances of holy ground in the Bible for how believers can find God’s presence. Question: “What should I know about spiritual warfare manifesting in my home, and how should I approach this now that it is happening right in front of me?"  Praise Report: A listener shares how in the midst of a health scare, God allowed for

God is holy. His holiness is why He acts. His holiness is behind every one of His decisions. Whatever He asks of you, know it has been filtered through HIS GREAT HOLINESS. We have watered down His holiness. If we follow the “cool” trend of church culture it belittles the majestic culture of the throne room of God. If we don’t worship the holiness of God, and we worship something other than a Holy God, other little gods will take His place that is rightfully His.   Monologue: Autumn proves with a comedic story how her son is truly only 14 years old and not as mature as he looks, despite almost everyone’s best guesses. Message: After the break, Autumn unpacks a scene in Revelation that depicts a picture of heaven declaring God’s holiness. Question: “I’m so afraid to send our kids to public school with the state our world is in. I know they can’t be shielded from everything forever, and I don’t want to make a decision based out of fear. How do you talk to your kids about living in this world but not conforming t

What have you stopped believing for? What word from the Lord has exhausted all your faith because it just doesn’t seem to be happening? Do you think you are too old, too far gone, that you’re too broken, or that the thing has already passed you by? If you believe God has forgotten about you, THAT IS NOT THE CASE! He WILL do what he said, just the same as He provided Sarah and the Shunammite woman their dreams and tested them for theirs. It WILL be well.   Monologue: Autumn recalls a sweet, teary-eyed moment between her daughters. Message: After the break, Autumn points out the resemblance between Sarah from Genesis and the Shunammite woman in 2 Kings 4 and their story of God’s provision for dreams they thought too far gone from them. Question: “It’s really hard for me to focus and understand the Bible a lot of the time. Do you have any suggestions for how to read the Bible better?"  Praise Report: A listener shares how God had told her that her dead marriage will be alive and well, and she is joyful to report

It is finally getting into the summer months, and you are DRAGGING yourself into it. Maybe you’re depleted of hope, maybe you’re depleted of energy and you just need a nap. Maybe your faith is struggling. Maybe you are feeling overwhelmed with work, being at home with the kids, or something else. But the LORD is IN your midst. The mother of Jesus knew who was in the midst of the wedding in Cana, but so many others didn’t think He would even care. But you know what? He does. He cares about your EVERY need. You have but to ask Him for His overflow, and do what He tells you to do.    Monologue: Autumn chronicles her recent NRB trip and how God was moving within and around the trip. Message: After the break, Autumn pulls wisdom from the wedding in Cana from the book of John and how believers can approach God with any need, big or small. Question: “Recently a friend from church said they needed prayer for healing but only if I could guarantee my prayer would work.  How do you respond to that?"  Praise Report: A li

If you are struggling in some sort of crisis, KNOW that God has placed unlikely vessels of deliverance often times in the very place of your struggle. In a health crisis, God has an ally fighting for your healing. In financial ruin, God has a friend rallying for your relief. In an unlikely situation, God placed Jael behind enemy lines to defeat the commander of the Canaanite army oppressing Israel, ultimately leading to the victory of the nation of Israel. In YOUR oppression, God has placed allies where you do not see to PAVE A WAY for your victory, and nobody even knows about it.    Monologue: Autumn chats about school coming to an end and the ages of her babies. Message: After the break, Autumn elaborates on how God hides His allies behind enemy lines, without anybody else knowing about it, referencing Jael in the story of Deborah and Barak. Question: “You recently spoke on finding our supernatural gifts on your podcast. How can we find out what our gifts are?"  Praise Report: A listener shares how her neph

Deborah and Barak and the nation of Israel faced NO LESS than nine hundred iron chariots, which seemed IMPOSSIBLE to defeat. It was intimidating and had intimidated Israel for 20 years. Israel gave in to defeat. We all have iron chariots that intimidate us. What iron chariots in your head are you scared of? Don’t love oppressed one second longer.   Monologue: Autumn discusses new things she has tried recently, namely her iconic nails. Message: After the break, Autumn emboldens Christ followers to face their iron chariots, just as Deborah did for Barak. Question: “How do you not feel like a failure when your kids run away from God?"  Praise Report: A listener shares how God has put their life back together better than it was before.   Bible References: Judges 1:27-36, 4:1-17 Proverbs 3:5-6 Exodus 33:15 *All verses are from the NASB1995 Bible translation.   Links from the show BOOKS: www.autumnmiles.com/resources SPEAKING: www.autumnmiles.com/speaking MERCH: autumnmiles.square.site   If you have a question for

Deborah was an unexpected choice ONLY to people who don’t understand why God chose her. God raised her up as a judge AND a prophetess over the nation of Israel. The LORD raised her up, and NOT as the last judge, but the fourth. She was NEVER God’s last pick, and neither are you. Just as God anointed Deborah with her gifts as a mouthpiece and representative of God to lead Israel, He has an extremely important calling for you, ESPECIALLY if people label you as an unexpected choice. God made no apologies for raising Deborah up, because He doesn’t answer to anything but His own character.   Monologue: Autumn celebrates 19 years of marriage to Eddie and announces a new role in her life. Message: After the break, Autumn clarifies the truth about Deborah as a prophetess and a judge of Israel raised up by God, as an “unexpected” choice. Question: “What does it mean when it says, “image of God”?”  Praise Report: A listener describes a powerful moment of listening to God to share their spiritual gift with someone else.

If you have been in a hard season for a long time, you are probably asking God, “WHY am I still doing this?!” It could be a financial crisis, a health crisis, in the middle of a divorce, or some other hard situation that has been going on for what seems like forever. I’m here to tell you today, what if this isn’t just a trial, but that God is positioning you FOR a position? God has you in this hard season for a greater purpose, to protect other from something, just as Rahab the harlot protected the two spies and saved Israel as a result.   Monologue: Jude joins Autumn and shares what God has done in his life recently. Message: After the break, Autumn focuses on Rahab’s position and her heart, not her occupation, and how they were exactly what God was looking for for the good of Israel. Question: “I feel like my church has too many “cliques.” How do I integrate myself in?”  Praise Report: A listener spent 7 years trying to become an American citizen, and despite the doubt from others, they were granted many b

Description: Have you been asking yourself, “WHEN will God’s favor get me that promotion, get me seen by this person, or bring me a spouse?” Or maybe you haven’t even thought about God’s favor and have been striving to get you your promise all by yourself. God’s people were promised to be “the head and not the tail, above and not beneath,” and Esther and Mordecai held tightly to His promise, knowing that He would make the way for them Himself.    Monologue: Autumn’s youngest turned 8 years old, and the Miles’ family celebrated with a roller skating party. Message: After the break, Autumn defines God’s unlikely favor for His people both in the time of the Old Testament and now, how they will be “the head and not the tail, above and not beneath.” Question: “Someone I know, who is amazing in person, posts controversial and divisive things on social media. How do I respond to them?”  Praise Report: A married couple who battled with infertility for many years was granted favor from God.   Bible References: Numbers

Description: Israel and Jericho were NEVER meant to be neighbors. When Israel marched in the promised land they had to dispossess the nations that lived there. Otherwise they were going to be a pain in the neck (or eye) for the rest of their lives.What have you LET REMAIN to be a “prick in your eye” or a “thorn in your side?” God has already done the work, so now it is up to YOU to DO THE WORK of dispossession.  Monologue: Autumn celebrates two years of maintaining a health regimen in her life.  Message: After the break, Autumn reminds believers of God’s victory over other things that claim power in their lives, just as Israel and Jericho were never meant to be neighbors.  Question: “Can you please recommend how to study my Bible and any resources I should obtain?”  Praise Report: A listener shares their experience with embracing freedom from oppression after 4 years in the wilderness and their restructuring relationship with their teenage daughter.   Bible References: Numbers 33:50-56 Joshua 2:23-24, 8-11 *A

Have you been HESITATING to move forward? Does moving forward make you nervous? Are you stuck? Maybe you're struggling with bitterness from a past marriage, church hurt, addictions, or kid hurt. But just as Peter was woken up and called out of his chains and imprisonment, you too are being called out!!! It's time to move on and MOVE FORWARD!   Monologue: Autumn describes how her Easter morning went as a mother of four kids, from making a special breakfast and lunch, putting together the Easter baskets, and Grace’s sweet question for Autumn’s preparations.  Message: After the break, Autumn points listeners to Peter’s immediate following of the angel’s instructions when he was called from his chains and imprisonment, while validating your chains and bondages that you may be struggling with but still hesitate to leave and begin healing from.  Question: Autumn paraphrases some concerns and questions a listener has about guilt and shame.  Praise Report: A listener shares how their 17-year-old son accepted Jesus Ch

Are you facing a sudden transition in your life right now? The disciples faced a hard and fast transition when SUDDENLY, their Jesus was taken from them. But then they remembered what Jesus had told them, and they were comforted. In your sudden transition right now, did God prepare you for it?   Monologue: Autumn reports a monumental, sweet moment between her two youngest kids. Message: After the break, Autumn calls attention to when Jesus told the disciples about the hard and fast transition they will face and how the disciples remembered what He said when they needed the comfort. Question: "What can I, practically speaking, do to feel God’s presence in my life?" Praise Report: A listener shares how Autumn’s segment on Lazarus was God’s way of encouragement to her in her son’s life.   Bible References: John 13:6-7, 2:19-22 Matthew 20:17-19, 26:1-2 *All verses are from the NASB1995 Bible translation.   Links from the show BOOKS: www.autumnmiles.com/resources SPEAKING: www.autumnmiles.com/speaking   If you hav

When you've betrayed someone in your life, do you instantly know it? Peter knew INSTANTLY when he betrayed Jesus, and there was tension in Peter. But guess what... Jesus didn't hold any of that against him because his betrayal was already paid for. Jesus won't rebuke you, turn you away, or mock you, He just wants to invite you in again.    Monologue: Autumn reminisces on a trip to Costco with her family, namely with lots of laughter and a mundane yet special moment. Message: After the break, Autumn highlights Peter's betrayal of Jesus and how Jesus responds when they meet again. Question: "How do I come back to God guilt-free?" Praise Report: A listener shares how his previously estranged family is now back together and making amends.   Bible References: Mark 14:27-31, 50, 54, 65-72 Isaiah 53:1-7, 10 John 21:1-17 *All verses are from the NASB1995 Bible translation.   Links from the show BOOKS: www.autumnmiles.com/resources SPEAKING: www.autumnmiles.com/speaking   If you have a question for Autumn, testimony t
