Autumn Miles Podcast

Your words can change a situation in just a SINGLE moment. That is all it takes. This week, Autumn challenges us to change how we use our words. How you speak about others and yourself matters. Are you ready to rise and align your words with God's?

Are you influencing people with God's words or worldly words? This is the question this week. God's words ARE transformative, yet we are so quick to speak with a worldly tongue! You have the weapon against a worldly tongue and it's called The Bible. Autumn challenges us this week to pick up God's word and let Him dictate the words that we speak. How are you letting God's word alter your words today?

Have you had some tough questions on your heart lately? Building a healthy relationship with your kids? Experiencing church hurt? Navigating tough conversations about the culture? This is NOT your typical Q&A show! Along with some surprise guests, Autumn is tackling the real questions we all have with real answers!

Last week, Autumn talked about how we sometimes get in the way of God's "yes". But how do we react when God says no? Do we get frustrated? Do we lose our faith? Should we write off God completely?   No, we press INTO the season and let our faith move our feet.  Even when God said no to His own Son, STILL Jesus persevered to the point of death on a cross for OUR salvation! The "no" does not negate our faith, instead, it presses us forward to a loving God that wants to see us grow!

When your prayer does not get answered in the way you wanted, how often do you assume God has immediately said no? We've checked the box of 'Pray for it' and immediately assume it will be answered in the way that WE want it to be answered. God gets the glory, every single time. He may be preparing you for the "yes", but you've just said the no for yourself.   This week, Autumn challenges us to align our prayer life with Scripture and let God have the final say. Are you ready to give up control?

When the enemy comes for our minds, what is our first line of defense? A phone call to our moms? Husbands? Friends? The answer should have been PRAYER. It is easy and comfortable to want to turn to anything other than prayer.  However, prayer is the FIGHTING force in our lives! It's not something to be afraid of, shy away from, or ignore when the enemy tries to steal your mind.    Over the next few weeks,  Autumn is going to challenge us to change the narrative, wake up, and allow the Lord to breathe LIFE into our dead prayer lives. The time for passive prayers is OVER, now is the time to FIGHT!

How you choose to respond to a situation can be the difference between keeping you locked up or walking in the freedom of release. We've all experienced hurt by another person, but have we paid attention to how we respond? In this episode, Autumn challenges you to pay close attention to how you respond just as Paul and Silas did. 

Are you standing in the way of a prison that Jesus is trying to lead you out of? The enemy doesn't want you to move out of that prison. The enemy wants to keep you there to keep you from being released. God wants freedom for you. He wants you to get out of your way, wake up, and follow Jesus out of that prison. Are you awake?

Sometimes you are "hidden" because you need to HEAL. God may want you hidden because you need to heal and be entirely whole for the next season and until you are healed, He is not going to release you from the hidden season. It's time to do the work of healing. Are you ready?    This is part two of a two-part message on the story of Joseph and how the Lord used a hiding season to take him even further than he knew he could go! 

Some of you have been telling yourself, “God has forgotten about my dream, He has forgotten about my desires, the desires of my heart, the different plans He has for me, He has forgotten about all those things.” But is NOT true! Just as we couldn't forget our own kids, He hasn’t forgotten US!  This is part one of a two part message on the story of Joseph and how the Lord used a hiding season to take him even further than he knew he could go! 

We hear that God loves us... but do we LET Him love us? The enemy wants us to believe that hearing, "God loves us" is a cliché, but maybe it's time to sit in the fullness of the TRUTH!   Join Autumn as she breaks down what it means to let the words of 1 Corinthians 13 pulse through our hearts and change how we understand the love of our God.

Are you in a place where you are just about out of something? God knows that there are going to be times of leanness. Especially, in your soul. There will be leanness of your resources, your patience, and your faith, but that doesn’t mean He is going to let things run out completely in you. If you are feeling in a drought, depleted, or hanging by a thread, this is the message you need today! 

Sometimes God tells us things that are hard to accept. Has God told you something HARD to hear and it's making you question Him? We have a choice, run or remain. Join Autumn as she takes a deep dive into John 6 and shows us what it looks like to remain.

You guys asked for it, and we are DELIVERING it on our podcast this week! We’ve got a FRESH look into the well-known Proverbs 31 passages of Scripture that is basically a full guide on how to be the best woman ever… totally not intimidating right? While some of us may be super intimidated by this passage, we’re diving in and showing how relatable and attainable this truly is.

Sometimes, life comes at us hard and fast and we are then forced into a transition that is unexpected that we weren't prepared for! But when we’re in the midst of a transition, God normally has prepared us for that "thing." We just didn’t know in the time He was actually preparing us for what we are going through. What you don’t understand right now, eventually, you will.    Facebook - @TheAutumnMiles Instagram - @AutumnMiles Email us your question or praise report and you may hear it shared on the show! - hello@autumnmiles.com

Let's tackle something that we ALLLLL struggle with… WAITING! When we are praying for the Lord to move in our lives and we have to WAIT on His timing, it gets hard to trust! But how do we shift our perspective on waiting? Why do we need to wait? We're taking a deeper look at the stories of King David and Joseph and how waiting was instrumental in their purpose!

"The mightiest thing that Jesus ever did was stay submitted to God the Father on earth for you and for me." Join us today as Autumn shares a special Easter message from Philippians 2. We take a deeper look at the might of God and the process Jesus took to get to the cross. 

This is the final chapter, part five, to our, "Hearing From God" series!   Speaking through wise counsel in your life is something God does on a regular basis. But how do you know if it is the Lord, or just someone speaking nonsense? How can we trust the words of those around us if we aren't first hearing from the Lord?   There is a process to receiving the counsel someone gives to you. Join Autumn as she gives specific examples and how to follow the process of hearing from God through others in our own lives!

We are coming to the end of our 5 week series about hearing from God! This is part four of "Hearing From God!" Waves on the ocean. Wind through the trees. Flowers blooming through the cracks in the concrete. The Hand of God is all around us. Even when we do not audibly hear His voice, we can open our eyes and see that He is speaking all around us. Even the wind and waves obey His Name! 

We all want to be difference makers. But how do we do it? Join Autumn for conversation about how we can all be fully committed to the unexpected with Kyle Idleman, author of "One At A Time." By revealing the way Jesus valued people, Kyle shows us the Jesus way of changing the world--by loving people one at a time.
