Season 6 Episode One: Wisdom from Above
In James 3:13 we are called to show our wisdom through our life and deeds. However, this heavenly wisdom is not found in a place of striving, but can only be found in yielding to the place of intimacy with God. As new creations in Christ we are designed for wisdom. We are wired to be a conduit of wisdom, flowing down from heaven. It is the fruit of intimacy and knowing Him. And so, as we allow His wisdom to flow through us — not in arrogance, but in awe and wonder at the privilege of carrying the heart and mind of Christ — we will see it outwork in our lives.
Abide: John 15:16-17 — One
As Courtney and Lana wrap up the season on Abide, we begin this episode with Jesus saying, ‘I have chosen you…’ Here we see an intertwining of identity. We are chosen for a specific reason. Just as Jesus especially chose His disciples to be His representative on the earth, so He now chooses us. And as we abide in the vine, His heart and our heart become one. Our prayer life overflows because we have confidence that our heart beats with His. Our lives are driven by a Kingdom mindset as we live out ‘on earth as it is in heaven.’ We abide and obey, continually nourished and empowered by His love, bearing fruit that will last.
Abide: John 15:14-15 — Called His Friend
In this episode, Lana and Courtney discuss the verse where Jesus says, ‘I no longer call you servants but friends…’ and He calls us to follow His commands. This speaks of a deep intimacy, where He reveals His heart from that secret place. It requires an intentionality and responsibility on our part, to remain in Him, the true vine. From there, we trust and obey. We walk closely with Him, listening to His whisper, with a heart posture that says, ‘I will do whatever you have called me to do.’

True joy is a place of thriving that doesn’t depend on our seasons or circumstances. It is a place rooted in relationship and intimacy. It is Christ’s victory complete in us. God is always working for us and through us, so matter what we are walking, it is never hopeless. Like a mother forgetting the pain of childbirth, through His joy, God is redeeming our past seasons of hurt and pain, He is redeeming the forfeited ground. Jesus poured out His joy and love upon us, and has commanded us to love others with that same love. The strength to do this is only found when we let Him love us first. When we bring our questions and needs to Him first, we allow everything else to be put in its proper place.

Abide: John 15:9-10 — The Same Love
Jesus calls us to ‘abide in Him.’ But what does it truly mean to abide? What is this love that He has given us, and calls us to love in the same way?
When we can offer only so much? God still delights completely in us.
Not about what we do.
We love because He first loved…completely overtaken and changed by what He gave to us.
Experience the revelation and encounter of His love, every day.
Let His love nourish you.
It is a command, but also an invitation to rest.
Doing is the overflow of being
His love is the fuel for our first love fire.
FAith works by love
The times when we are struggling with His love the most are the times we must think about it all the more, for His love will empower us to do what He’s asked us to do.
Abiding in His love is warfare.
Abide: John 15:5-6 Much Fruit
In this episode, Lana and Courtney get real and honest on the practical outworkings of bearing much fruit. God has chosen to show Himself on the earth through our fruitfulness, and this only comes by abiding. We must remember that the fruit is not produced in our own strength, but is a positional inheritance when we remain in Him. It is a mindset of availability over ability. Even in the pruning and burning there is an invitation: The more we look at Him, the more we become like Him, the more His love flows out of us.
Abide: John 15:7-8 — In His Word
Jesus told His disciples the importance of remaining not only in Him, but in His Word. His Word is the ultimate truth: and so we live and breathe to know Him and hear His voice. When we walk with this singular focus, we bear abundant fruit and grow as mature disciples — and our Heavenly Father is glorified. Join us as Lana and Courtney share some practical tips they've learnt through their own walks in how to abide and remain in His Word: both the written Scriptures and the promises He whispers to our hearts.
Abide: John 15:3-4 — Already Cleansed
As Lana and Courtney continue to look at John 15, we see the pruning of the vine, not as a bad thing, but as a cleansing — a healing. Jesus said that He has ALREADY CLEANSED us! And when we understand that we are already forgiven and are totally loved, we can enter into a place of intimacy without judgement. This foundational place is important, as our beliefs shape the way we see and respond to Him. Seeing Him as good is how we bear good fruit. So we choose to remain: continually listening, allowing His love to continually grow us deeper into Him.
Abide: John 15:1-2 — Lifted Up
Season five of our podcast centres on John 15: ‘I am the Vine, you are the branches.’ Join Courtney and Lana as they look at the pruning process through the lens of a loving Father. When we allow Him to be our gardener, He lovingly lifts our branches out of the dirt, so they might bear fruit. In the process, we must remember that God is for us, and He is pruning so that we can commune with Him in deeper ways. It is an invitation to return to first-love fire: to be a people of power and all He has called us to be.
Jacob’s Ladder #6: From Pillow to Pillar
As Lana and Courtney wrap up the series on Genesis 28, they remind us that through Jesus, we no longer just rely on a visitation, but we are in constant communion with God, with no separation.
There is an invitation for God to live in us. Holiness is an overflow of this indwelling and we move from ascension to consecration. As Jacob set up a pillar to honour God, so we become the pillars. It is here in this moment where Jacob said, ‘the Lord is my God,’ even as he wrestled with the promise. And like Jacob, there is something that is formed in that wrestle, which brings us face to face with the magnitude of what God is speaking. It takes us out of our own strength and into total dependance on God. With a determined heart, we declare that we trust in the truth of His promise.
Jacob’s Ladder #5: The Lord is in this Place
As Lana and Courtney journey through the story of Jacob’s Ladder, they come to the verse where Jacob declares, ‘Surely the Lord is in this place and I didn’t even know it.’ This shows us that even ordinary places can become holy places. Places where you have an encounter with God that marks you, and from which you don’t want to leave. Encounters where God turns our face towards His and we see Him eye to eye. It is an invitation to focus: to move forward and to move higher with God.
Jacob’s Ladder #4: In His Presence
Journey with Lana and Courtney, as they themselves encounter God, even while talking about Jacob’s encounter. In this episode we learn that God’s promise was not dependent on Jacob’s actions, for God declared, “I will…” For He is the great I AM. In Jacob’s brokenness and wayward moments, God reveals His grace, as He is the one who leans in close. And it is there In God’s presence that everything changes. In His presence we can do anything. Through the revelation of who He is, there is birthed a courage and boldness to do all He has asked us to do — a courage to believe in the promise and to dream again.
Jacob’s Ladder #3: Building the Generations
Lana Vawser and Courtney Kueck discuss verse 14 of Genesis 28. The promise God gave to Jacob in his dream was not just for him, but for the generations. In this new year, God is speaking about legacy and raising up the next generation: a generation who is not weighed down by past religious expectations, but who is also looking to the older generation for guidance. Just as God called Abraham to live face to face with His presence, so should we, as the generations together, make seeking God’s face our priority.
Jacob’s Ladder #2: Land and Territories
In Jacob’s dream, God reaffirms the promise that He gave to Abraham — and now to Jacob himself — I will give you this land. As we ascend, in 2024, God is calling us higher with Him. God wants to bring us into a place of rest and wonder, in knowing that He is the God who fulfils His promises, not only to us now, but to the generations. In this episode, Lana and Courtney also speak an encouragement to the mothers and grandmothers who have stood and fought for the promises for their families. We should not underestimate the seeds that we plant. As we dive deeper with God, we are building a heritage for the next generation.

Jacob’s Ladder: The Journey Begins
Lana and Courtney begin an exciting new series on the Biblical story of Jabob’s ladder (Genesis 28). They share how Jacob’s dream at Bethel was the beginning of his rebirth and destiny: and they share the spiritual significance of how that relates to us today. The start of 2024 is the beginning of something important. It is a ‘pillow to pillar’ moment, where we — like Jacob — begin to realize who God is and what He is doing around us. There is a new place of rest: the fruit of encounter and transformation, a place of ascension and birthing. God is re-introducing Himself to us in greater ways — to His power, His love and His nature: where the supernatural is going to become even more natural in the coming year.

Episode 10: Walking with Wisdom
In this final episode of our wisdom series and the final episode for 2024, Lana and Courtney take a look at ‘what wisdom is saying.’ We must have an intentionality to keep our eyes and mind firmly fixed on God as we listen to what wisdom is speaking. He is the Prince of Peace, in all times and seasons, so we may walk in the peace that surpasses all understanding. There is an authority that comes with peace, bringing us into a deeper place of trust. This is founded and rooted in His Word, which is our measuring stick for wisdom. Seek after Him, seek after His wisdom. He waits for us in His Word.
Episode 9: Storm Chasers
In this episode, Lana and Courtney take a slight detour on the topic of wisdom and discuss a subject from one of Lana’s latest words: God is raising up the storm chasers. But to still the storms on the outside, we must first quiet the storms inside us. God is teaching us this, giving us gentle hearts and incorruptible spirits; so that throughout all His dealings with us, we might know Him as good.

Episode 8: Wisdom with Roma Waterman
With special guest Roma Waterman, Lana and Courtney bring a wealth of wisdom in discussing how wisdom must be partnered with discernment. When God gives us wisdom, discernment tells us how to use it. We do this by asking God each step of the way. It is a brave way to live, but the only way to live. With clean hands and a pure and humble heart.
Episode 7: Wisdom for the Seasons
Proverbs 10:5 tells us to pay attention to the seasons, for there is strength found in knowing your season. Wisdom will guard us from wrong counsel and give us new strategies for the new season. Wisdom also calls us to examine our hearts and our heart motivations. God asks us to give our longings to Him: not so He can take them away, but so He can put them into their proper place and shape them into something beautiful. For God is bringing us out of the battlefield into a place of dreaming again. When you give your longings to God, you give Him the opportunity to be the I Am… Then you get to be the thing that you long for to the rest of the world.
Episode Six: Treasuring Wisdom
In this episode, Lana and Courtney look at Proverbs 2:1-7 and discuss how wisdom brings first-love purity. Each time we encounter God’s wisdom, there comes a deeper level of consecration, as His awe and wonder challenges our own earthly wisdom. Wisdom is something that we must treasure, and in the very decision of seeking wisdom it shows just how much we recognise our own need for Him.
