Made to Pray Podcast

Welcome to the Made to Pray Podcast - where we believe that you and I were made to pray! We believe we were created for prayer... for relationship with God and we believe that prayer should be our first response rather than a last resort! Prayer works... Prayer Matters... and we are all called and invited to have conversations with God. That is simply what Prayer is! It's a two-way conversation... and oh, how He loves it when we talk with Him!

Our co-hosts Karrilee and Lori dive in this week and talk about - and then pray about - the vital importance of Holy Spirit! Lean in, Listen, and Pray Along!

Be blessed,

~Karrilee & Lori~

Welcome! In this week's episode, our co-hosts Lori and Karrilee once again just dive right into prayer! Grab something to sip on... and maybe even something to write on along with a pen, lean in, listen, and pray along with us!

At the end, Karrilee encourages you to pray and ask the Lord a few questions... so stick around a little longer and continue in prayer, as we pray for protection and peace - because no matter what is going on in or around you, we could all use God's Protection and Covering, and His gift of Peace!

Blessings!

~Karrilee & Lori~

Welcome back to the Made to Pray podcast! In this week's episode, we revisit a familiar topic - Forgiveness! We know... We just did a two-part series on Forgiveness in Nov/Dec of last year, and it seems it is STILL very much on the Heart of God that we actually deal with this stuff in this season! Whether you have done the work and have kept a short account and feel like Forgiveness is not a struggle for you, or this is a challenging subject and something you are battling - we encourage you to tune in, lean in, listen and pray... and then, journal it out... and listen and pray again! (Rinse and Repeat as necessary!)

Listen, sweet listeners and praying friends... the enemy did NOT want this one to be released. I won't even get into all the ways he attempted to keep this from you. However, that fact alone should make you want to listen closely and take some notes!

We are praying for you this week... believing that God is speaking and helping you to work through some things SO THAT you will walk in more freedom, more grace, more joy, and more Kingdom than you have up 'til now!

Until next week,

Be Blessed!

Welcome back to the Made to Pray Podcast! Join our co-hosts Lori and Karrilee as they discuss - and pray! - about the Kindness & Mercy of God! They discuss how oftentimes being Kind and being Nice are not the same thing --and only one of those is the fruit of the spirit! They talk about the commercial He Gets Us and how Jesus desires more than that... He gets us, yes - and thank God! But He also heals us, delivers us, changes us, saves us, redeems us... Join in as we talk about Kindness and Mercy - and then pray for some, too!

Welcome back to the Made to Pray podcast, where we believe that you and I were made to pray! Join our co-hosts Lori and Karrilee as they lean in and talk about --and pray about!-- the Glory of God!

...or maybe this should be titled Another One Where We Pray for the Church! Listen... we know... church can be hard... it can be hurtful and lonely and confusing. AND we also know it can be heaven on earth and it can be full of healing and community and family and grace. We are praying about Church (Big C) and asking the Lord to show us what HE calls church - because we suspect it may be broader than you think! So whether you are plugged in and love your church, or you haven't been to a building in years, or you have never really even considered going to a Sunday service (or haven't considered going to a Sunday service ever again) -- we hope you will lean in and listen... pray with us and see what God will speak to you!

Church is His idea... WE are the Church... He calls us His Bride - and we know He doesn't ever give up on us! Maybe - just maybe, He calls Church more than what we have reduced it to and maybe - just maybe - He has more for us!

Karrilee and Lori also both share just one aspect of the Christmas Story that has stood out to them or has been highlighted to them this year! Listen and pray along!

We will be back in January (1/8) to pray into the New Year!

Merry Christmas!

~Lori & Karrilee~

As Christmas approaches, Lori and Karrilee talk about our continued need for PEACE and TRUST in these times! As we prepare Him room and plan for holiday festivities, join us as we pray for Peace and Joy and Wonder and TRUST... listen and pray with us! (And don't forget to Like, Share, Follow, and RATE & REVIEW the podcast... it really does help spread the word and help put our podcast in front of new listeners!)

We will be back on Christmas Day for a short prayer... and then we'll resume our regular schedule in the New Year with a new episode on Monday, January 8, 2024! (2024!!!? Can you even believe it!?)

Have you tapped into a little bit of Christmas Wonder yet? Has Joy crept in or are you battling to feel the magic of the holidays or even a tiny bit of the Peace that was promised?

In this week's episode, Karrilee and Lori talk about how so many are struggling to find those warm, fuzzy feelings of Christmas this year! With budgets stretched thin and patience, too -- with the commercialism of Christmas and the stresses that seem to come with the season, we wanted to carve out 30 minutes to pray and encourage you to find ways to slow down and remember the actual Reason for our celebrations! So grab something to sip on and lean back, listen in, and pray along... and know that we are continuing to pray for every one of you as the holidays unfold!

May His Peace and His Presence be the gifts that bless you the most this year!

Welcome back to the Made to Pray podcast where we believe that you and I were made to pray! We were created for relationship with God and we believe that our walk and friendship with Him grows stronger when we have conversations with Him and share our hearts! We believe when Jesus said His Yoke is Easy and His Burden is Light, it was an invitation to trade up... to lay down the heavy burdens, worries, and fears - hurts and hang-ups - and to hand them over to Jesus instead. A huge part of that process includes Forgiveness -- both receiving it and extending it! In this week's episode, Lori and Karrilee talk about the importance of Forgiving (and how it is not the same as Forgetting) and they lead us in prayer!

Join us around the table and pray with us on this important topic and then share this episode with anyone you think it would bless!

Happy Thanksgiving Week, Friends! Join Lori and Karrilee as they talk about - and pray about - Giving Thanks and having a grateful heart! Pray with us into this week and all that it may hold for you... and take a few extra moments throughout your days to stop and give thanks, counting blessings and gifts, and acknowledging how God is showing up for you and reminding you of His Presence!

Welcome to the Made to Pray podcast, where we believe that you and I were made to pray!

Karrilee has been fighting off a bug for a few weeks and we all decided to make her rest her voice this week! Join us in praying through this episode that originally aired during Season 1 about Healing! Pray for yourself, your family and/or friends, (us), --anyone you know who needs a Healing touch from God! In fact, if you leave us a Direct message or comment on Instagram or Facebook, we will gladly come into agreement with you and pray along with your request - for yourself, or for a friend or family member... it is always an honor to join with you in prayer!

We will be back next week with a brand new episode with our co-hosts Lori and Karrilee!

We are happy to welcome back to the podcast special guest Autumn Torres! Autumn was with us on a special 4th of July episode and we wanted to have her back before the elections! We talk a bit about the process, the candidates, the importance of voting, and how the system works... we encourage you to fill out your ballot and use your voice to vote! It really does matter. These 'smaller' elections impact your local communities in such huge ways! It's easy to shrug off elections for city council or school boards, but as we have seen over the last few years especially -- these are the councils and boards and positions where politics truly impact a community! However you vote, whichever way you 'lean'... we encourage you to vote --and pray! Pray for the process, the counting, and the results... and pray for the candidates - those who win and those who lose! Pray with us in declaring that we are "one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all..."

Welcome back to the Made to Pray podcast where we believe that we are all created for prayer... We believe God desires to talk with us - to hear our voice as well as for us to hear and know His Voice, too! We invite you to join us today as our co-hosts talk and pray about God's supernatural Protection, Provision, and Peace! We tink we could ALL use some extra of each of those things!

Join our co-hosts Lori & Karrilee as they talk about and then pray about issues of Pride, as well as the idea of praying through the Psalms. There is so much power when we pray, declare, read, or sing the Word of God. We encourage you this week to listen and pray with us here, and then open the Bible and pick a psalm or two or pray and ask the Lord to lead you to a Scripture and pray through it several times this week! We also encourage you to ask God to reveal any areas of pride within you so that you can humble yourself, be honest with yourself and with Jesus... press in, friends! Now is the time!

Join our co-hosts Karrilee and Lori as they discuss the need for spiritual discernment and our need to remember that we are living in a spiritual world, with spiritual battles going on all around us and sometimes within us! Listen and lean in and pray with us for Protection and Covering... and for the Lord to reveal any open doors or entryways that we may have opened unaware that need to be closed! We are spiritual beings living in a spiritual world and we think that oftentimes, we forget this truth - or think the realms are somehow separate, however, the reality is they intermingle all around us on the daily... We believe the Lord wants to open our eyes, give discernment, protect and cover us, and cause us to hear and follow His lead more than anyone else's! We believe we are made to pray and called to become more and more like Jesus! Listen in and pray with us!

Welcome back to the Made to Pray podcast where we believe that we were all created with purpose, for purpose --and one of those purposes is to talk with God! We believe that Prayer is a two-way conversation with the Lord and as much as we long and want to hear His Voice - He longs and wants to hear yours (ours) as well!

In this week's episode, our co-hosts Karrilee and Lori talk about the necessity and longing to see Miracles - both big and small! Grab a journal or something to write on and listen and pray with us as we press in and ask the Lord to work signs and wonders and miracles for us and through us in greater measure!

Join our co-hosts and prayer partners, Lori & Karrilee, as they talk and then pray about the need for us to put our Trust in God! There is so much going on in our world - in our own lives, in our nation and world... we need to stir up our trust and faith and begin once again to anticipate and expect God to show up and show off! The time is coming soon and we want to make sure that we are trusting in GOD and not something or someone else! Grab something to sip on and join us in prayer!

Whether you have kids or grandkids of your own, you work in the system, you are a Homeschool family, or you are far removed from the back-to-school season, we can ALL pray for this generation and all that they are facing as they transition from summer to school once again!

Season 2, Episode 33

Welcome to Part Two!

Season 2, Episode 32

We're pretty sure this one will be a 3 or 4 parter... but to start things off, our co-hosts Karrilee and Lori share a bit about their first encounters with the prophetic gifting and talk a little about what that is... then they pray that we will all feel that gift stirring up within us and be bold to speak out what God shows us! Grab something to sip on, sit down and listen in and pray with us - expecting and anticipating God to meet you and speak with you... and say your name, this week!

The gift of Prophecy is given by God to encourage and uplift the church... and we don't know about you all - but we are willing to admit that we need to hear from Him in this season (--in every season, actually!). We are praying for you and believing with You that God will recalibrate the rhythm of your heart to beat with His and that He will fine-tune your ears to hear His Voice more clearly!

Season 2, Episode 31

Welcome back to the Made to Pray podcast, where we believe that you and I were made to pray! Our co-hosts Lori and Karrilee talk about the importance of knowing the Bible, spending time in the Word, reading (& memorizing?) Scriptures, reading your actual Bible (not just on an app!), and living your real-life life! (And then, of course, they pray and invite you to join with them!)

Season 2, Episode 30

Join our Co-Hosts Karrilee & Lori as they talk a bit about the importance of paying attention to our self talk and the words and thoughts we let run wild... and then they lead us in praying for encouragement and red flags so we can change directions and quit coming into agreement with our enemy and giving him power and access! We invite you to listen in and then pray along in agreement! (And then - intentionally pay attention this week to where your thoughts and comments are leading you!)

Season 2, Episode 29

Welcome back to the Made to Pray podcast, friends! Our co-hosts Karrilee and Lori sit down and talk about mentors and mentoring... They share how we all need discipleship... we all have something to teach or share or pour out, and we all need to be open to receiving and learning and growing when others' share, too! Lean in and listen, then pray along as they pray for God to bring people into our lives and across our paths who we can mentor, and those who can mentor us! We have talked about it before --how it is hard to find your people and to plug in to Community. We DO realize this... which makes it even more vital that we find those who will speak into us and those God wants us to pour into as well! Pray along with us and then go out and keep your eyes and hearts open - looking for who God will put right in front of you! Now is the time, friends, to press in and to be intentional in strengthening real relationships and having real conversations!

Lori is back! (However - y'all know we caught up OFF mic before we hit record, so this one is a bit shorter because we ran out of time!). In this week's episode, we keep the celebration of Father's Day going as we intentionally pray blessings over the fathers and father figures in our lives! Join us as we bless the men around us and pray for the Father's Heart to be poured out in and through them in greater measure!

Season 2, Episode 24

(As promised, we did a longer episode on Blessing Fathers last year around Father's Day so if you'd like to lean in a bit more and pray over Fathers with us - you can listen to that episode here: https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/TU4di8DXHAb

In this week's episode, we have a special Guest Co-host! Destiny is a friend and listener of the podcast and she is an anointed Worship leader and prayer warrior in her own right! When Lori was away on vacation, it was a no-brainer to ask Destiny to fill in! We really think you are going to love her! Lean in, listen, and pray along with Karrilee and Destiny as they pray for Identity!
