Beyond the Building

193. Beware Of The Little Foxes

This week’s edition of Beyond the Building focuses on the principles found in Song of Solomon 2:15. Most relationships struggle not from the big misunderstandings, but rather, from a culmination of the small areas of conflict. We need to be diligent to watch over the vineyards of our relationships- we need to beware of the little foxes that subtly destroy the good fruit.

192. Make Every Effort

Join Laura Piraino and Debbie Keever as they launch the new February series called, “Relationships”. Each week will focus on another Biblical principle that will help us to improve the health of our relationships. Week 1 reminds us to utilize every tool in our Biblical toolbox in order to keep the peace in our relationships.

191. Introduction to the R.E.A.D.S. Bible Study Tool

This week, we revisit a the R.E.A.D.S. Bible Study Tool.
Each of us needs to be equipped with a solid understanding of how to study the Word of God and how to discern what the Holy Spirit wants to speak to our hearts specifically from scripture.
In this episode, Laura and Debbie revisit the R.E.A.D.S.’s Bible study tool. It is an acronym that stands for Read, Examine, Application, Dialogue and See in the Spirit.

190. Bringing Down Generational Giants

The story of David and Goliath doesn’t end when the giant falls. Today’s final episode in our Giants series shows that one man or woman can make a difference in his or her family for generations to come. Generational giants can be defeated once and for all allowing the story to shift from years of defeat to years of victory ahead!

189. Giants Fall to the Right Authority

When you think there is no end to the giant you are facing, today’s episode shares the powerful truth that every giant can and will fall under the authority of Jesus Christ. If you are feeling hopeless or defeated today, this one is for you. It will boost your faith and keep your mind focused on the truth.

188. Responding to the Giants

In our second episode during our month-long series called “Giants” we again turn to 1 Samuel 17 and focus on drastically different responses to the giant Goliath. King Saul and the entire Israeli army listened to the giant’s taunts for 40 days and remained paralyzed to do anything. David heard the giant just once and was ready to take his stand and fight. How are you responding to the giants in your life? Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, and defeated? Time to suit up folks and face the giants head-on!

187. Giants in the Land

Welcome to 2024 and welcome to a new series here on Beyond The Building! This month of January we are taking 4 weeks to dive deeply into 1 Samuel 17, a very familiar portion of scripture where David courageously faces and defeats the giant, Goliath, who has tormented all of Israel for 40 days. In this first episode, we focus on being able to identify the giants that we face in our lives today and shifting our focus to taking back the land that rightfully belongs to us as children of the Living God.

186. The Prince Who Brings Peace: Who is Our Prince of Peace?

Merry Christmas from Beyond the Building! Join Debbie and Laura for this week’s short, reflective episode as we remember who our Prince of Peace is right from the Word of God.

185. The Prince Who Brings Peace: Don’t Miss This

The declaration from the angels that Messiah had come on the first Christmas came to shepherds, in the middle of the night. While fear would have been the natural response, the angels told the shepherds to ‘behold’. This week Laura shares a testimony this week that shows the truth of beholding. The closer we are to our Messiah, the more our perspective changes and allows us to experience God’s glory. And experience God’s peace. Don’t miss this episode and the truth that it shares.

184. The Prince Who Brings Peace: Thoughts That Lead to Peace

There is one thing that we can control and that is our thought life. The Bible is clear that when we fix our thoughts on the ONE who is the source of all peace, we find internal peace.
