  • Your gifts for God & impact. 10 Ways Writing Books Changed My Life.

    19/10/2023 Duración: 12min

    Are you using your spiritual gifts, talents, and skills for God's glory and to make the maximum impact on others? In this episode, I share 10 ways that writing books has changed my life. Do you want to write (or finish writing) a book? Quotes: "Let the word burn through you. Throw the prism light, white hot, on paper." (Ray Bradbury, WD) "After nourishment, shelter, and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world." (Philip Pulman) "Just write every day of your life. Read intensely. Then see what happens. Most of my friends who are put on that diet have very pleasant careers." (Ray Bradbury, WD) "There is something delicious about writing the first words of a story. You never know where they'll take you." (Beatrix Potter) "I write for the same reason I breathe - because if I don't, I would die."

  • Who are you accountable to in your life and biz?

    05/10/2023 Duración: 11min

    Who are you accountable to in your life and in your business? Accountability and support are important. Accountability helps us to grow. One day we'll all stand before God to be accountable to Him for our lives. We also need to intentionally surround ourselves with people who can keep us accountable to help us succeed in our biz. I'm leading a writers' Progress Pod for my writing coaches CJ and Shelley Hitz for accountability and support. The Progress Pod and software are the brainchild of Richard Ralston from New Zealand to help people take the Next Tiny Step to reach their dreams and goals faster. Verses for today's episode: Romans 14:12 2 Corinthians 5:10 Proverbs 27:17 Hebrews 10:24-25 Hebrews 5:14, NLT Book: What if God wrote your bucket list? 52 Things You Don't Want To Miss, by Jay Payleitner, available for sale on Amazon. https://amzn.to/45nYXyu "Wherever you go, go with all your heart."

  • Back in school: What are you learning?

    13/09/2023 Duración: 12min

    It's back to school time, which is always exciting for kids buying new supplies. I feel the same way as a business owner, buying new office supplies. I'm like a kid in a candy shop when the stores have school supplies sales! My challenge and question for you this week is what are you learning? I'm doing two new things lately: I recently began attending a new church and joined a ladies' Bible study, which is on Sally Clarkson's book, Own Your Life, and I'm leading a Progress Pod for my writing coaches CJ and Shelley Hitz's Christian Book Academy membership site for writers. Richard Ralston created the idea and the software of Progress Pods, with the pod participants taking The Next Tiny Step to reach their dreams and goals and to be accountable to others. God wants us to continually learn and grow, not stagnate, in our walk with Him. We're all "back in school," learning new things! *** Scriptures from today's episode: Proverbs 1:5 Proverbs 18:15 1 John 2:27 Rich

  • Broken beautiful sea glass

    18/08/2023 Duración: 08min

    Several years ago, I bought a beautiful sea glass necklace. I love the beach and ocean; it is my place of peace and refilling. Sea glass is created from broken bottles, tableware, or even shipwrecks, rolled and tumbled in the ocean until their edges are rounded off and the slickness of glass has been worn to a frosted appearance. God wastes no pain and uses it for the good and His glory. He is making you and me into beautiful sea glass - brokenness into unique beauty. *** Podcast cover image source: Joshua Sortino @ Unsplash Contact Beth at her website and blog to speak at your in-person or online event or to be a guest speaker on your podcast at https://www.BethJones.net You can find Beth's memoir, Promises In The Dark: One Woman's Search for Authentic Love, and her other books at her Amazon Author Page at https://www.amazon.com/author/bethmjones Watch Beth's vlogs and videos on her YouTube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/c/BethJones-International-Speaker You can help Beth to continue rec

  • Life's storms: Get plugged into the Holy Spirit

    31/07/2023 Duración: 21min

    Recently we had severe weather here in the Kansas City, Missouri area. Our daughter Heather was caught in the storm. The power at the restaurant where she, her fiance Andy, and his kids went lost its power as they pulled up to eat supper there. They then went home and the power was out at their house, too. It was off for 7 hours! What do you do when problems arise and life's storms hit? Rely on the power of the Holy Spirit. He is our Helper. Verses for today's Episode are John 14:26, Acts 1:8, and Acts 2:1-5. Image source for podcast image cover: Max LaRochelle @ Unsplash.

  • Do you need a miracle today?

    02/07/2023 Duración: 06min

    Do you need a miracle today? A miracle is a sign of the supernatural power of God. He still does them today! God has done many miracles in my life and in my family's lives.

What miracle are you or a loved one needing right now? Hummingbirds fly in miraculous ways, and there will be a beautiful image of a hummingbird on the cover of this book. *** Sign up for Beth M.

  • Why your prayer hasn't been answered - sin. But God will forgive you!

    12/06/2023 Duración: 13min

    Have you been praying and praying for something and your prayer hasn't been answered? It feels as if there is a brass ceiling over your prayers. One reason that your prayer may not have been answered is sin. Isaiah 59:2, NKJV, says, "But your iniquities have separated you from your God; and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear." Psalm 66:18 says, "If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear." In the article 4 Things That Will Hinder Your Prayers (September 29, 2018), Greg Laurie writes, ""Regard" means to "cling to or hold on to." If you're practicing sin as a Christian, it will bring your prayer life to a screeching halt." The good news is that God forgives sin. I'm living proof of this! You can read my story in my powerful book, available for sale on Amazon, Promises In The Dark: One Woman's Search for Authentic Love. God will forgive any sin that you've committed (other than blasphemy of the Ho

  • The Power of Your Worship & Praise

    01/06/2023 Duración: 08min

    Did you know that your worship and praise of God is spiritual warfare against the enemy, Satan? Last night I had a dream about this. I was having (hosting) a women's conference. I was getting dressed and ready for the conference with makeup and lipgloss and looking into the mirror. I feel this part of the dream symbolizes our need to always be prepared and be ready to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with others (1 Peter 3:15, NKJV). We also need to daily put on the armor of God. (Ephesians 6:10-18, NKJV) The scene in the dream shifted. I and the women at the conference were walking down a dirt road. I could sense the spiritual warfare all around us. I began to worship and praise God, singing, and led the women with the worship and praise. Each day you and I face spiritual warfare as Christian believers, but we have the victory through our faith in Jesus. Worship and praise are powerful weapons against the enemy, Satan. That was the end of the dream. The verses I shared in this podcast are Joshua Chapte

  • Why hasn't your prayer been answered?

    22/05/2023 Duración: 10min

    Have you wondered why your prayer hasn't been answered? This may be just one reason. James 4:2-3, NKJV, says, "Yet you do not have because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures." The word "amiss" in the original language is kakos (Blue Letter Bible, Strong's #2560), which means "badly, diseased, evil, miserably, wrongly, revile, with bad intent." Our heart's intentions may not be pure and holy as God is. How do we know that we're praying with the right intention? When Jesus' disciples asked Him how they should pray, He answered with the LORD's prayer found in Matthew 6:9-15, NKJV, acknowledging God as His heavenly Father and praying for HIS Kingdom to come and HIS will to be done. As we pray, let's ask God for our desires to be alignment with His word and His will. There are times that we are praying, such as for a prodigal spouse, child, sibling, parent, or other loved one, and it

  • God hears you when you pray (your authority in prayer)

    11/05/2023 Duración: 17min

    Did you know that God hears you when you pray? Whether you're praying for something big or small. As a Christian believer, you have God's authority and power when you pray and He WILL answer you! (Luke 10:19, ESV) I give two examples of this by God answering my prayers for me to travel to Destin beach, Florida, last year and a good, used car THIS year! However, God is not Santa Claus or a slot machine at a casino. God has given us a condition for His blessings, found in Deuteronomy Chapter 28 - obedience to His word. If we obey Him, He will shower us, our family, and our lives with His blessings. If we disobey, we will experience sorrow, destruction, and curses. But the good news is that if we seek His face, and obey Him, whatever we ask for in prayer, believing, we will receive!

  • Your faith in Jesus and prayer (National Day of Prayer)

    05/05/2023 Duración: 15min

    Do you have a consistent prayer life? Do you believe that God answers your prayers? Today, May 4, 2023, is the National Day of Prayer. To me, God often seems turtle-slow about answering prayer. I've been praying about some things for years. I've wondered if God even hears me or cares. He loves you and me so much! But God isn't slow. He hears us as Christian believers when we pray and He answers in His perfect timing and in His way. In this podcast, I share about how Jesus prayed as a perfect example for us. He didn't use a religious formula, but prayed in different ways. But one thing He did do consistently was getting away alone with God His Father to a secluded place.

  • Light and Darkness: Shine like the stars

    26/04/2023 Duración: 08min

    In John 8:12, Jesus spoke to His disciples saying, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." As Christian believers, we are to be like Jesus, shining with His light and love. As this world and today's headlines grow increasingly darker, it is more difficult to be Jesus' light and to not be influenced by evil. In today's devotional (April 26) The Language of Letting Go by Melody Beattie, she writes, "We do not lead others into the Light by stepping into the darkness with them." Instead, we need to shine like the stars with the light of Christ. Listen to Beth's podcast encouraging you to be courageous and bold, sharing the good news about Jesus with others and using your gifts, talents, and skills for God's glory and to bless others.

  • Open and closed doors

    07/04/2023 Duración: 08min

    Today when I looked out my office window, I saw that the garage door was open. My husband Ray had used the automatic door opener to close it when he left for work, but the last few days it hasn't been working right. He's going to check the circuit when he comes home from work today. An open door can be a great thing, such as you being invited to speak at a women's conference or a new job or ministry opportunity. An open door can also be a bad thing, such as opening the door to the enemy Satan through sin. Today's verse is Ephesians 25:27, "...give no opportunity to the devil." The NLV version says, "Do not let the devil start working in your life." We can do this in a number of ways. One way is through generational sin/curses. Another way is through your own sin. God wants us to be holy and our children and our grandchildren to be holy, also. Open the door to all God's blessings and goodness in your life. Close the door quickly to the enemy.

  • What legacy are you leaving?

    17/03/2023 Duración: 08min

    What legacy are you leaving here on Earth? Recently I watched the Gals On The Go podcast on YouTube. The topic was, "Are we ACTUALLY turning into our parents?" It was funny. The hosts, Brooke and Danielle Carolan and Brooke Miccio were chatting about things like their moms still carrying around checkbooks in their purses, the rule of having no phone at the table and eating together as a family, dessert or no dessert with dinner, and putting extra plastic liners in the trash can at the bottom of it.  It got me to thinking how I was raised as a child and if I taught my children the way my family raised me. What kind of legacy do you and I want to leave when we die? How are we raising our children (or how did we raise them)? You can be the one to change your family's history by being on fire for Jesus and obeying God's word. The verse for today's podcast is Proverbs 22:6.  Find out more about my speaking for women's conferences, retreats, and online events at www.BethJones.net. I'm having a book-writin

  • Asbury Revival: Revive my heart, Lord

    20/02/2023 Duración: 11min

    You have probably heard about the Asbury revival at Asbury University in Wilmore, Kentucky. Students were gathering in the chapel for a regular chapel service and a few lingered. Then what happened is the presence of God fell upon the students. Services have been ongoing for about 11 days, for 24/7. People have been coming from across the USA and the world to participate in corporate worship, praise, prayer, and repentance. Young people and old are worshiping and praising God and repenting of their sins. It has been amazing to watch, which you can see on YouTube videos. Revival starts with you and me.

  • Diana Journy: How to love when it's hard to love someone

    14/02/2023 Duración: 37min

    Today is Valentine's Day, the holiday on which we celebrate the beauty of love. But how do you love someone who is hard to love? Join me as I interview my special guest, Diana Journy, as she shares hers and her husband Tim's powerful story of Tim's adulterous affair and how God healed their marriage through forgiveness, time, and hard work. Any betrayal in a marriage is devastating. It’s even more devastating when the unfaithful person isn’t sure that he or she wants to continue in the marriage. Tim and Diana openly share their journey, hoping that their story will encourage others who have or are experiencing the painful journey of healing from infidelity. Tim and Diana now help other couples with their marriages to find peace, joy, fulfillment, and purpose. You can find out more about Tim and Diana at their website at https://thejourneythrough.com/ and at Diana's website at http://www.dianajourny.com/. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bethmjones/support

  • Prayer for Turkey and Syria earthquake

    06/02/2023 Duración: 11min

    Turkey and Syria had a 7.8 magnitude earthquake. According to news report at the time of this video, over 2,300 people have died and over 7.600 have been injured with numbers expected to be much higher. Buildings and homes have collapsed and 100's of people are believed to be buried under the rubble. Snow from a winter storm is hampering rescue efforts. I've been praying and felt led to do a Zoom prayer recording for the people of Turkey and Syria. The Scriptures I shared in this video are below: "For whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved." (Romans 10:13, NKJV) "He sent forth His word and healed them and delivered them from their destructions." (Psalm 107:20) "For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone." (Psalm 91:11-12) The books I wrote on prayer and prophecy that I mentioned at the end of this video are Walking With God and Walking With God: In the Prophetic Lifestyle, available

  • My dream - Assistant at a wedding. How can we serve God?

    31/01/2023 Duración: 08min

    Last night I had a dream that I was an assistant to a pastor at a wedding. I believe the dream is prophetic that Jesus is soon returning and that we're to always be ready for Him. (Revelation 19:7-9, ESV) I believe it also means that we need to serve (assist) God. In the dream, there was a little girl in a pew in front of me. She was pretty and she was smiling. Jesus said in Matthew 19:14, ESV, "...but Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the Kingdom of Heaven." How can we serve God today? Jesus put a towel around His waist and washed each of His disciples' feet at the Last Supper. (John 13) He did this as an example to you and me to serve God and others. Today, who can you and I help, encourage, pray for, give money to, and bless? Podcast cover art: Photo by Katherine Conrad @Unsplash  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bethmjones/support
