(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!

Welcome back, friends and pray-ers! We are honored each week to have you join us here... chatting a bit and praying together! We believe things happen when we pray - in general, sure - but also specifically each episode when we come together and pray! This week, - as you will hear! - Karrilee is battling a sore throat/cough combo... we're not sure why the sound was off a bit but it just may be the Kindness and mercy of God to your ears! ;) Even with the uneven sound, this episode is worth listening to a couple of times! Take notes... pray with us and then again on your own, covering whatever He stirs up in you. We believe Kindness and Mercy is pursuing us in this season! We also did not intend to pray about Identity - but it just always seems to come up! We have covered it with more intention in the past episode ( Season 2, Ep 22 ) with Guest Co-host Destiny, so, if it struck a chord - maybe go back and re-listen to these as well!

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! Don't forget to Like, Follow, Subscribe, Rate, and Share... All the Things really help get this little podcast out in front of new potential listeners/pray-ers... and Lord knows we need more pray-ers! Be Blessed, ~Karrilee & Lori~ Co-hosts of Made to Pray Podcast

The One About Forgiveness... Part Two
Welcome to the Made To Pray Podcast where we believe God LOVES it when we pray! He loves to hear our voices and to spend time with us... He desires to meet with us and to have a conversation with us as we pray! That said, we felt like Forgiveness is such an important HUGE topic and we didn't go over many Scriptures last week, thus - a part two! In this episode, we go over a few verses and talk a bit more about how to know if you have actually forgiven someone, as well as give a couple of tips to put into practice while you are in the process of forgiving! Listen in and pray along and don't forget to share with anyone you think would be blessed! Show Notes: Unoffendable by Brant Hansen
S2 E46 · Tue, November 28, 2023
The One About Forgiveness...
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!
S2 E45 · Mon, November 20, 2023

Praying over the Elections this week...
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..."

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! ~Karrilee & Lori~ Made to Pray Podcast Co-hosts

The One About the Discipline of Spending Time with God
Welcome Back to the Made to Pray podcast - a podcast about Prayer, and a podcast to pray along with! Our co-hosts Lori and Karrilee talk a bit today about having the discipline to set time aside to pray with God. Whether it is in the morning with your first cup of coffee or tea, during a commute in your car or a train, or in the evening as you unwind from the day... they encourage and challenge us to make it a discipline every day! Start small if this is not something you already do! Set a timer for just 5 or 10 minutes and learn to be consistent and then increase your time as you are able! If you want to hear God more clearly... if you want to press in and grow in your relationship with Him... and if you want to see God more actively in your life --it all comes back to having a discipline to spend time with Him! Don't forget to Like, Follow, Share, and Review the podcast! This is not only encouraging to our co-hosts, but it also helps the algorithm to invite new listeners and grow our audience!

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!

The One Where We Pray About Human Trafficking
This one was just a matter of time, however with all the buzz around Sound of Freedom and more and more talk about child, sex, and human trafficking - Lori and Karrilee sit down to discuss it a bit and then, of course, to pray against it! Join in as we pray for deliverance, for justice, for the lost to be found and set free, and for perversion and addiction to be broken while righteousness and repentance takes a front seat once again! My, how we need God in this world! This is no easy topic... it is heavy and hard and the temptation is to shake our heads and look away. But we can not. As Jim Caviezel says in the movie, "God's children are not for sale!" Rise up, prayer warriors, and storm heaven with us! SHOW NOTES: Karrilee mentioned a handful of organizations and ministries she has partnered with in the past or is currently supporting... this is BY NO MEANS an exhaustive list, but it just may get you started!

Operation Underground Rescue (OUR/Tim Ballard) Women At Risk, International A21 Campaign Mercy House Global ViBella Women of Worth Freeset Kindred Apparel JOYN Bags International Justice Mission Love146 These are just a few, but we encourage you to ask around locally as well. This is not a 3rd world problem. This is a world problem and as Karrilee mentioned, America is the #1 consumer and the #2 producer of child porn... we simply must do something! Let's start with prayer... and then ask the Lord what else we can do! We believe that you and I were made to pray! ~Karrilee & Lori~

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!

Listen, sweet friends!

So you may want to take notes on this one! We talk a bit about what it means to listen for and hear God and then we talk about the practice of Listening Prayer. So once the episode is over, we strongly encourage you to take the info shared here and put it into practice! Lean in and listen, ask Him, and then if it lines up with His Character, His Motive, and His Word --as Kathy said, put some weight on it!

We believe Marriage is God's idea - just as Family is His idea! We also know we live in a fallen world with broken and messy humanity and a very real enemy who has come to steal, kill, & destroy. We believe God is a God of restoration, a God who heals, a God who is able to make things right -- and we believe in a God who forgives, who desires to set us free, and who covers us and walks with us in every season. As we lean in and pray over marriages - know we are praying for each of you, too - even though we didn't cover that in this week's episode! This is a topic we hope to dive into in a future episode to give it our full attention! We are not forgotten or unseen! Season 2, Episode 18

The One Where We Pray for Ukraine...
Karrilee & Lori are back a week early... As they prayed about what is going on in the world today, they felt led to change the planned schedule of podcasting every OTHER week and instead, set aside a little time each week to pray together! In todays' episode, they pray for the people of Ukraine, Russia, and all over the world, and they pray for Peace, Protection, Provision, and more. Join us in prayer...

The One Where We Actually Pray!
Welcome to the Made to Pray Podcast! In today's episode, Co-Hosts Karrilee and Lori do little talking, and more praying! After all - Prayer is the purpose of this Podcast! They realized in last weeks' Mini-Series to launch the show, they did more talking than praying - and so today - they get right to it! This is the one where they pray for you --yes, you, the Listener!
