Tea With Toni - Toni Lagaras

Walk with Me. Work with Me. Watch how I do it. Jesus wanted us to follow Him. To watch Him. To be like Him. And humility was one of the key things that marked His life. Walk with me through the gospels and let's take a look at humility...what it is and what it should look like in our lives.

I love Matthew 11:28-30. Come to me if you're weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest. The Message says, "Walk with Me, work with Me, watch how I do it." So, since I've been on a quest for rest, I took that to heart. In Walk Work Watch, we take a look at this and see what that means for our lives, for our rest, for our peace. Jesus was an amazing example.

We are busy these days, aren't we? And stress is never far behind. It lurks. What do you do when you feel overwhelmed? I share my story of being overwhelmed, depressed,and STRESSED! And when I cried out to God, I got the answer nobody wants to hear. Take a listen to see what to do when you're overwhelmed.

It's good to pray. To pray in the midst of crisis. To pray for current events. For things going on all around us. We need to release God's power into these situations. But in Genesis 18, we see another way. God says, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I'm about to do." God revealed to him what was about to happen, and Abraham interceded. And He still wants to do this today. In this lesson we see how we can also be used in prayer to pray out ahead of situations. God knows what's about to happen, and He is looking for someone to show so they can pray. Will you be that person?

God gave us His Word so we have something to look at when everything else in our lives looks opposite to it. In this lesson, we learn about how to contend for what God said between asking and receiving. When faith isn't immediately made sight, we need to learn how to contend. To stand. To fight for it. He is faithful. It will come to pass.

In part 4 of Prayer Life, we take a look at another layer in the foundation of a successful prayer life - The Word. His Word is the basis of our faith, it's what our prayers are founded on, and it carries power when we speak it. We also check out a few things outside of the prayer room that can hinder our prayers from being answered

Covenant is not usually a subject taught in conjunction with having a successful prayer life, but part 3 we'll see what covenant is, why we need one, and what in the world that has to do with answered prayer.

John 15:7 says, "If you abide in Me, and my Word abides in you, you can ask whatever you will and it will be done for you." Abiding is key to laying a foundation for an effectual prayer life, and we learn in this message just what it looks like to abide in the Vine.

In Prayer Life part 1, we take a unique look at the What and Why of prayer. What it is and why we need to pray. Prayer is so much more than something we do. It should be as natural to us as breathing. Join us as we take a fresh look at prayer and learn to develop not just a prayer time but a Prayer Life.

Biblical hope is a confident expectation of Good. So...what happens when good doesn't look so good? Take a look with us at Luke 2 from a different perspective and gain some hope and encouragement as we see what to do When Good Doesn't Look So Good.

(First Service) Mary had a unique job description. She was to be a carrier of the Son of God. She was to birth the impossible. But really, it wasn't that unique at all. We also are called to be carriers of the Son of God. Carriers of His life and power. And we're to deliver it to this world. Are you ready to birth the impossible?

(Second Service) Mary had a unique job description. She was to be a carrier of the Son of God. She was to birth the impossible. But really, it wasn't that unique at all.

(I do apologize, but there is a 25 second delay from when you press play to when the audio starts :) ) What? What? Why is part 1 of a two part mini-series on prayer that will get you stirred up about prayer again. We define what prayer is, check out examples of what prayer looks like in the Word, and learn why we need to pray. This is a fresh look at prayer that makes releasing the power of God easy and doable.

We have all had those times when we've prayed or we've gotten a Word from God and it just doesn't look like anything is happening. Or the opposite of what He said is happening. We take a look at some examples in the Word to bring us hope and strength to hold on and show us what to do when it doesn't look like God is moving...

Romans 4 says that we are to have faith like Abraham's. He didn't waver. He stood strong. He plunged into the promise, convinced God would do what only He could do. But what does that really look like? In Dare to Trust, we look at Abraham's life to see what his faith looked like and how we can have that same kind of trust today.

Do. Love. Walk. These are things that the Lord requires of us. Do justly. Love mercy. Walk humbly with our God. In this podcast we learn what it means to do, love, and walk and look at our perfect example of Jesus to see just how to do it and what happens when we do!

The Word is full of examples of God coming down and interacting with His man. I am so thankful I serve a powerful and amazing God, but I am even more thankful He doesn't keep His power and presence all to Himself in heaven.

The Word is full of examples of God coming down and interacting with His man. In part 2 of When God Came Down, we continue to see what drew God from heaven to Earth. The Word is full of examples of God coming down and interacting with His man. I am so thankful we serve a powerful and amazing God, but I am even more thankful He doesn't keep His power and presence all to Himself in heaven. He still comes down.

There are two ways to see - through our eyes at our circumstances or through our faith. It's time to move up higher and see what God sees. That's where victory is!

What you see (or focus on) is what will produce in your life. What you look at makes all the difference in the world where faith is concerned. Is what you're looking at causing doubt or building your faith? What do you see?
