If you feel stalled, are stuck, or even frustrated with your spiritual growth, then you are not alone.

Fred and Lori Snyder discuss some keys they have learned over the years that will help propel you in your faith journey. They practically share some key Scriptures and explain the importance of having three types of knowledge, in order to gain understanding and godly wisdom.

Do you have a difficult time trusting God or seeing Him as a loving Father because of how you relate to your natural, earthly father?    Our view of God as Father greatly affects how we relate to Him, see ourself, and ultimately the life we live. In episode 35, Fred and Lori Snyder will discuss three areas that can shape our view of God: performance, our family history, and religious teachings. These areas can cause us to question the goodness of God based on our past experiences, limited natural understanding, ignorance of the gospel and wrong teachings.     We want to help you establish your heart in the goodness of God, and receive the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. (2 Corinthians 13:14).    Key Scriptures discussed: Mark 7:7-9 Mark 6:53-58 2 Timothy 2:2-4 John 14:8-10 Proverbs 3:5-6   Support this podcast and ministry with a tax deductible donation: https://loriksnyder.com/give/   Connect with Lori: https://loriksnyder.com FB &IG: @lorikaysnyder YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWn_XJAe3pqx3DonZyFZRLg   Connect with Fred: https://www.linkedin.com/in/fred-snyder-a439734a/

Want to experience more joy in your life? In this episode, I share a live teaching and discussion with my friend, Chris Cree, of New CREEations Ministries. We discuss how we can practically experience God’s love, joy and peace on a regular basis. Joy is a fruit of the Holy Spirit…God’s abiding presence. Joy sustains you and gives confidence to move forward in faith, despite your circumstances. We discuss how the joy of the Lord is your strength, and how Jesus instructed us to abide in His love and that He would give us unending joy.  Key Scriptures: Proverbs 13:12 Psalm 16:11 John 15:9-11 Nehemiah 8:10 Hebrews 12:2 Romans 14:17   Watch the live broadcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBVUU7vJgyY&t=569s • Connect with Lori on Facebook & IG: @lorikaysnyder Support our ministry and podcast with a tax deductible donation: https://loriksnyder.com/give/ • Connect with Chris Cree: https://newcreeations.org Facebook: @Chris Cree  @newCREEations

Fear is being sold to us everywhere we turn. Fear of the unknown, fear of man, fear of war, fear of making mistakes or taking risks.... Fear is a thief that steals, kills and destroys the life that God intends for us: one that thrives. It's the enemy of trusting God and walking by faith. We must recognize when we are anxious or fearful--that it's a story we are telling ourselves that isn't based on God's Word, rather on past experiences, trauma, vain imaginations, wrong mindsets, etc., and then overcome all that keeps us trapped from moving forward in faith. In today's episode, Fred and Lori Snyder practically share how to conquer fear with establishing your heart in God's Truth and love. We want you to live empowered with God's way, truth and life!

My passion is to help people thrive in all aspects of life and live in whole health. The health and wellness industry talk a lot about exercising and restricting foods in order to lose weight, but there are some other key components to being healthy.    In this episode, I was a guest on my close friend’s podcast, the Shine With Frannie Show, and we get very real to discuss some topics that most people are very embarrassed about but have issues with: digestion, bowel movements and emotional/mental pain. We are a three part being: spirit, soul and body. We have to address each of these areas if we want to experience Life the way God intends for us!   Frannie shares some of her weight loss journey, but specifically how after she lost her first 70lbs, her weight plateaued and as a result, she stopped having regular bowel movements. When the doctor told her that she would "just have to learn to adjust" to being severely constipated, she began trying everything she could find to change her dilemma: Metamucil, Miralax, psyllium husk, cleanses, detoxes, colonics and enemas, but nothing worked. However, over the years and most recently in the last two years, she learned that there are other key contributing factors to her lack of regularity. Her soul needed to release toxins she was impacted with.   I share my own health journey of overcoming PCOS and IBS and my journey to wholeness from the inside out. My soul was sick with bitterness, anger, unforgiveness…toxins the negatively affected my physical body and digestion. As I learned to "release” the "weight" I was carrying I experienced healing in my body.   Yet, we didn’t really see breakthrough in our bathroom issues until we started restoring and rebalancing our gut health with special formulated plant-based supplements. It’s been another key to living in whole health!  You might have heard it say, “You are only as healthy as your gut is healthy.”  We are living proof!   We pray this blesses you and helps you find freedom (and regularity, too!)

I believe that our life is a progressive series of yes’ to the Lord. From small ones of just having a positive attitude for the day, to the really big ones that lead to fulfilling a dream. I am specifically going to share three hindrances and then two major keys to walking by faith.   Fear is the number one hindrance that will prevent you from surrendering to God’s leading. However, God’s perfect love casts out fear; faith works through love.  We are all on a journey of learning to trust and follow Jesus. It doesn’t matter how long you have been born again, you will face obstacles and hindrances that will cause you to be stretched — to grow and mature.   God has divine appointments and assignments for you! (Jeremiah 29:11) He desires you to become who He created you to be and fulfill your God-given potential, but we must learn to partner with Him to see it come to pass. God is a relational God.   Real faith requires trusting God which is a discovery process that is only found through a personal, intimate relationship with the Lord. It’s not just reading the Bible. Jesus is the Living Word and He wants you to write His Truth on your heart and be led by the Holy Spirit to be Jesus’ representative here on the earth.    I will share some key lessons from Luke 1 and the words and actions of Zechariah and Mary, the Mother of Jesus.   Here are the main Scriptures: Isaiah 1:19 Luke 1:5-39; 46-49 John 6:29 Proverbs 3:5-6   I have a few spots open for One-One Mentoring Session.

Learning to walk by faith is a process of knowing God’s Word and character, developing trust and confidence, and courageously take steps of faith. We are all on a journey of taking steps to discover all that God has for us.    Chris & Lisa Cree, of New CREEations Ministries join me to discuss how their desire for a more fulfilling life led them to leave their careers and step into the unknown by saying “Yes” to God’s leading. They share how they grew in knowing God more intimately through His Word, and surrendering their will to trust His guidance to go to Charis Bible College, which would catapult them into their purpose and calling.    In our discussion, we share key principles to help everyone grow in their own faith journey. Three major keys: Learning to deeply trust God and hearing His voice. Renewing their minds to the Truth of Scripture; discovering their true identity, value and purpose. (Romans 12:1-2) Growing in intimate fellowship with the Lord and being willing to take the next step of faith. We share many topics such as growing in confidence of hearing God’s voice, journaling, biblical meditation, having community with other Believers....   Learn more about & support New CREEations Ministries: https://newcreeations.org Facebook: @NewCREEations @Chriscree @Lisacree   If you want to help me spread the gospel and receive a tax deductible donation in support our nonprofit ministry, click here: https://loriksnyder.com/give/ *How to Connect with Lori: Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thrivingchristianwomen Learn: https://loriksnyder.com Connect: lori@loriksnyder.com Facebook & Instagram: @Lorikaysnyder YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWn_XJAe3pqx3DonZyFZRLg  

God has great plans and a future for you, to thrive in all aspects of life. Fred and Lori Snyder share some key lessons they learned after marital reconciliation to rebuild their lives upon God’s firm foundation. Fred, who is a builder by trade, uses building a house as a metaphor for the process of building your life. Fred describes one necessary part of the building process as “clearing the land”. He uses this as a spiritual metaphor to understand the necessity of tearing down idols, and rooting out the lies and strongholds from our past that create barriers to building the life we desire. Jesus came to bind up the brokenhearted and set the captives free. We must give Him permission to allow their process of freedom to take place.

When you are on a journey of growing in faith you will experience opposition. We want to equip and encourage you to keep moving forward to build the life God desires for you, one that gives meaning and fulfillment.   My husband, Fred and I share some keys from Luke 14 on what it takes to build a life of faith and the process of trusting God, overcoming fear and opposition, and moving forward to live your best life.   We discuss three keys to the “cost of discipleship:”  Humility Building a solid foundation Overcoming opposition   Scriptures referenced: Luke 14 Jeremiah 10:23 Hebrews 12:1-3 Hebrews 11 Romans 12:1-2 Matthew 11:28-30 We would love to know what steps of faith you are taking to become and have all that God intends for you!  Get Fred’s Book: “Scoring Runs & Winning Games: The Process Of Becoming A Champion!”  It’s a blueprint for walking in knowledge, understanding and wisdom.

Does fear hold you back from pursuing all that God desires for you? Are you wanting to learn to walk by faith, not by natural sight or understanding?  Be encouraged, as Fred and Lori share their journey of how they went “all in” to follow Jesus. Fred laid down a successful career to go to Bible college, not to change careers but for the sole purpose of knowing God and becoming who He created him to be. Lori is very transparent on how money was a stronghold (idol) and how the Lord helped her overcome a lack mindset, to trust and follow Him, and find the life she desired.   This process of surrender will encourage you to overcome fear and the pressures from finances, people’s opinions and looking foolish in order to pursue your God-given purpose.   Key Scriptures mentioned: Luke 14: 26-33 1 Corinthians 2:14 Colossians 3:15 Philippians 4:6-7   Fred is an executive in the home building industry and has a heart to help restore godly vision and purpose in the hearts of business professionals, to reach their full potential.  *Connect with Fred on LinkedIn: Fred Snyder  https://www.linkedin.com/in/fred-snyder-a439734a/ He is the author of “Scoring Runs & Winning Games: The Process Of Becoming A Champion!” Available here:  https://rb.gy/e8vsuk   If you want to help spread the gospel and receive a tax deductible donation in support our nonprofit ministry, click here: https://loriksnyder.com/give/ *How to Connect with Lori: Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thrivingchristianwomen Learn: https://loriksnyder.com Connect: lori@loriksnyder.com Facebook & Instagram: @Lorikaysnyder YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWn_XJAe3pqx3DonZyFZRLg  

My husband, Fred Snyder, shares his journey of how he exited his successful professional career in order to follow the desire of his heart to go deeper in his relationship with God and become all who God created him to be.   In 2011, Fred was a vice president with a fortune 500 company but knew there was more meaning to life than he was currently experiencing. We share our journey leading up to moving to Colorado to attend Andrew Wommack Ministries, Charis Bible College for two years.   Fred didn’t have the goal of going into ministry nor being a pastor. Rather he simply wanted to know God deeply and become the man he was created to be. Here are the three keys we with discuss: Small steps of faith lead to bigger steps. Remember God’s faithfulness and goodness. Separate yourself from noise and distractions to confidently hear God’s voice and leading. Learning to trust God is a process. He goes before us and only wants to lead us into the best life He designed for us. “It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.” Deuteronomy 31:8   Fred is an executive in the home building industry and has a heart to help restore godly vision and purpose in the hearts of business professionals, to reach their full potential. His desire is to empower people to use their God-given talents, skills and abilities to advance the Kingdom of God in a positive and effective way, and have healthy relationships. *Connect with Fred on LinkedIn: Fred Snyder  https://www.linkedin.com/in/fred-snyder-a439734a/ He is the author of “Scoring Runs & Winning Games: The Process Of Becoming A Champion!” Available here: https://rb.gy/e8vsuk   If you want to help spread the gospel and receive a tax deductible donation in support our nonprofit ministry, click here: https://loriksnyder.com/give/   *How to Connect with Lori: Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thrivingchristianwomen Learn: https://loriksnyder.com Connect: lori@loriksnyder.com Facebook & Instagram: @Lorikaysnyder YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWn_XJAe3pqx3DonZyFZRLg

My husband, Fred Snyder joins me to discuss his transformation journey of how he had to change the view of himself and of God to experience the life he desired.    In this episode, we discuss how our wrong beliefs nearly destroyed our marriage, and how we all must examine what we believe about God and ourselves to align with His Word. As we turned our hearts towards the Lord, He turned our hearts toward one another and showed us a new way of living abundantly by faith.   Key Scriptures: Hosea 4:6 1 Peter 3:1-2 Romans 12:2 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 Proverbs 3:5-6 Romans 5:12-21 2 Corinthians 5:17-21   Fred is an executive in the home building industry and has a heart to help restore godly vision and purpose in the hearts of business professionals, to reach their full potential. His desire is to empower people to use their God-given talents, skills and abilities to advance the Kingdom of God in a positive and effective way, and have healthy relationships.

How To Grow Closer to God   Do you desire a deeper relationship with the Lord? In this episode I share tips and keys on how to go to a deeper level in your faith journey.  I teach on some key Scriptures to help you develop a foundation and understand your identity in Christ, so you can thrive instead of striving to perform or make faith happen.   You were created for an intimate relationship with Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We are to live by faith, and not by sight, but faith requires trust; trust depends upon knowing someone personally instead of just “about” him.  Key Scriptures: Ephesians 1:3-4 2 Peter 1:2-4 Proverbs 3:5-6   Connect with me: Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thrivingchristianwomen Learn: https://loriksnyder.com Connect: lori@loriksnyder.com FB & Instagram: @Lorikaysnyder YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWn_XJAe3pqx3DonZyFZRLg

It’s important to begin this new year with intentionality to live in whole health. We are a three-part being: spirit, soul and body, and we need to invest our time nourishing each one of these areas.   I share key Scriptures and explain these three areas of our being, to help you understand how you are created, so you can find meaning, purpose and fulfillment in your life.

Today I pray for you and share a simple process of reflection as we transition into the new year.   In this episode, I first share my simple process of how I reflect on the fruit of this past year, in order to move forward into all that the Lord desires for 2022. I share some key questions and Scriptures you can ask yourself and then I pray for you.    I want to help you partner with God so you can fulfill your purpose and calling, and find meaning and significance. I hope this blesses and equips you to be and have all that God desires for you.    "Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers." 3 John 1:2   Let’s Connect: Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thrivingchristianwomen https://loriksnyder.com Facebook & Instagram: @Lorikaysnyder YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWn_XJAe3pqx3DonZyFZRLg  

Forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves. It involves a decision to let go of resentment and thoughts of revenge. It allows you to move forward in life and not be stuck. It does not mean that a situation did not occur or are excusing the harm done to you or even making up with the person who caused the harm. Although it is a decision, it is also a process.   Whether you have been hurt by words or criticism from others, or had a traumatic experience, such as being physically or emotionally abused by someone close to you, these wounds can leave you with lasting feelings of anger and bitterness. Those feelings can become toxic and you can actually embody them and become physically sick.   I have personally experienced this, as for many years I was bound by anger, bitterness and unforgiveness. I have experienced healing and freedom when I chose to release all of those who wronged me, even myself for mistakes and wrong choices.   When I realized how much I had been forgiven by Jesus, and His finished work on the cross, I could release others of the burden I was carrying. As a result, I had miraculous healings take place in my body.   If you need help with this process, message me. I have helped many people get unstuck, break free and thrive this holiday season and always!   https://loriksnyder.com    

Many people right now are struggling with hopelessness and a sense of loss. I understand, as I have been there. Sixteen years ago, I was faced with the ending of my marriage, along with my hopes and dreams of the life I desired.   In this episode, I share our story of when my husband and I separated and entered into divorce. Facing what seemed to be a hopeless situation, I desperately turned to the Lord to heal my broken heart and restore hope for my future.   Whether you are facing a difficult marriage or relationship, or experiencing loss in any area of your life, this episode will encourage you, that with God, all things are possible for those who believe.   Let's Connect: • Private FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thrivingchristianwomen • Facebook & IG: @lorikaysnyder   • Donate to our nonprofit ministry and to help spread the Gospel: https://loriksnyder.com/give/  

In this episode, my husband, Fred joins me to discuss the original purpose of Christmas, and how Jesus came to redeem and reconcile us back to having a deep and meaningful relationship with our Creator. Jesus is the real hope in which we celebrate this season. He is how we can receive peace with God and His good will toward mankind, so we can then share His love with others.    Too often, the holiday season gets commercialized, overtaken with obligatory demands, traditions, and expectations, and we can lose the real focus of Christmas and its purpose.   We discuss how to change our focus to be upon God’s original intention, which is “God with us”— Immanuel. Jesus is the gift God gave to allow us to have relationship with Him, as it was in the beginning, in the Garden of Eden.   For more hope and encouragement:   Free resources: https://loriksnyder.com   Free Private Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thrivingchristianwomen   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWn_XJAe3pqx3DonZyFZRLg   Facebook & Instagram: @lorikaysnyder      

If you are sick and need prayer, receive this for yourself, and/or share with someone else who does.  In this episode, I share a teaching and prayer from my recent mentorship group where my friend needed personal prayer for a virus. I prayed for her, but first taught her about what to do when symptoms want to exalt themselves over the Truth.  I want to help you receive the healing that was already purchased for you through the finished work of Jesus. Healing is part of what was accomplished on the cross through Jesus' obedience. 1 Peter 2:24 says, "who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed." It's up to us to receive this truth by faith--believing and trusting Him. Believe and Receive! Thank you, Jesus!

There is a big difference between expectancy and expectations. We are to live with expectancy, not expectations. In this episode, I will discuss the difference between the two--how expectancy is about hope and living in relationship with the Lord, where expectations put demands upon people and outcomes, which only set us up for disappointments. I will also share how to release expectations to set yourself free. Key Scriptures I will discuss: Proverbs 13:12, Hebrews 11:1, Romans 5:5, 1 Corinthians 13:13, Jeremiah 29:11, Romans 8:28-31, Genesis 50:20, Psalm 62:6-8.

I discuss key reasons why I recommend everyone begin with the gospel of John. God wants a personal relationship with you through His Son Jesus Christ. It is only here that you will find the love, joy and peace which your heart longs for, and to find meaning and purpose for your life. He is Life, Light and Love! Since all 66 Books of the Bible points to Jesus, it’s His story that reveals God’s love for us. The gospel of John also gives us a better understanding of the Trinity: Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Here are the key Scriptures I discuss: John 1:1-5 ESV John 5:37-40 ESV John 6:63-64 ESV 1 Corinthians 2:10-16 ESV Hebrews 1:3 ESV Hebrews 4:12 ESV Genesis 1:1 Genesis 1:26   https://loriksnyder.com/ Free Private Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thrivingchristianwomen Facebook & Instagram: @lorikaysnyder Free Guide: “Who I Am In Christ” Scriptures: https://mailchi.mp/loriksnyder/who-i-am-in-christ-free-pdf
