Favored with Ashley Wilhite - 15
It's Time to Rise Up
04/08/25 • 33 min
What happens when you finally stop making excuses and start saying yes to God? Ashley Wilhite's story will inspire you to recognize the divine favor already operating in your life.
During a powerful moment of worship at the 2023 Rise Up conference, Ashley felt an unmistakable spiritual stirring—something new was about to be birthed. The next day, God clearly instructed her to write a book based on a title He'd whispered to her seven years earlier. What followed was nothing short of miraculous: a perfectly timed free writing program, supernatural downloads of content, and a publishing journey that defied industry timelines.
Despite having four children and serving as a kids' pastor, Ashley made time for her calling by writing at 2 AM and waking at 6 AM. "Delayed obedience is still disobedience," she reminds us. Her determination paid off—"Favored" was written, published, and awarded the Global Impact Award within just one year of its conception.
The book's cheerful ice cream cone cover belies its profound spiritual depth. Through vulnerable personal stories and fresh perspectives on familiar biblical characters, Ashley reveals how recognizing God's favor transforms our daily experience. Her family practices this awareness by enthusiastically shouting "favor!" when experiencing everyday blessings like finding a good parking spot—a simple habit that "cancels coincidence" and acknowledges God's intentional goodness.
If you're holding back from pursuing a God-given dream, Ashley's message hits home: "You were created on purpose, for a purpose, and it is time to rise up." Your excuses don't stand a chance against God's calling. When He speaks, your only question should be: what's my next step of obedience?

These formative experiences instilled in them a profound mission to reach beyond church walls and touch the hearts of the broken and marginalized. Together with their partner, they have embraced this shared calling, contributing significantly to initiatives like God's Resort. We explore how their unwavering commitment to seeing others through the eyes of Christ has enriched their journey and impacted their community.
Discover the heart and soul of God's Resort, a beacon of hope for those overcoming life's challenges. This Christ-centered community fosters spiritual and personal growth, aiding individuals transitioning from generational addiction towards independence. By emphasizing stability across nine essential life areas, God's Resort provides a nurturing environment that champions love, community, and support.

The Power of Prayer with Michelle Mitchell, Jo Beth Ellis, and Cindy Ritter - 3
It's Time to Rise Up
10/22/24 • 38 min
Imagine finding an anchor in the stormiest seas of life. Michelle Mitchell, Jo Beth Ellis, and Cindy Ritter have each discovered that prayer can be this anchor. As integral members of the Rise Up Conference prayer team, they share how their devotion to prayer has shaped their journeys. These women exemplify how prayer transforms lives, offering hope and resilience.
The power of personal prayer is woven through the experiences of Jo Beth, Michelle, and Cindy over the past decade. Jo Beth speaks candidly about prayer as a source of strength and the importance of constant communication with God, even when life feels overwhelming. Michelle shares her journey through a challenging period that deepened her spiritual growth, making prayer a constant companion rather than a mere task. Cindy recounts how as a new believer, she could barely say a 5-minute prayer, but through the process of building an intimate relationship with God has come to realize we can have long conversations with God and how they can transform our daily lives. Their stories inspire us to integrate heartfelt, genuine prayer into every moment, transforming daily experiences and perspectives.
This week we discuss the powerful impact of praise and confession as we shine a light on how these elements invite the presence of God into our struggles. Drawing from biblical stories and personal insights, we reveal how praising God—regardless of circumstances—shifts focus from self to God. Regular confession is portrayed as a pathway to humility, clarity, and a strengthened relationship with God, providing peace during uncertain times.

Revival Night Recap - 14
It's Time to Rise Up
03/25/25 • 40 min
Something extraordinary is stirring in the heart of Southwest Missouri. Over 300 people packed the Cornell Complex in downtown Joplin for Revival Night—a testament to the deep spiritual hunger permeating our communities today.
What made this gathering remarkable wasn't fancy production or celebrity speakers, but the authentic presence of God moving through ordinary people. As one attendee described it: "renewing, refreshing, with such freedom to worship." The open altars throughout the evening created space for people to respond to the Holy Spirit without pressure or manipulation, resulting in visible transformations as chains of addiction, shame, and fear were broken.
Perhaps most striking was the beautiful diversity represented—from 13-year-old youth to 86-year-old seniors, from business leaders to ministry workers, spanning denominational lines and backgrounds. Two young elementary girls opened the evening by reading Scripture, immediately softening hearts and creating an atmosphere of childlike faith and expectancy.
Behind this powerful evening stood three essential elements: prayer as the foundation, God's supernatural provision (including someone volunteering to cover the entire venue cost without being asked), and dedicated volunteers serving without compensation. As one organizer confessed, "It's the most humbling experience...we really don't know what we're doing, but God shows up and helps."
This Revival Night represents just the beginning of a larger vision for spiritual awakening throughout the region. The team is "believing God for a great awakening in our area" where prodigals return home, churches experience growth, and the spirit of salvation falls powerfully in every gathering.
Join us for our upcoming conference August 1-2 at the Keeter Center in Branson to continue this journey of revival. Register at itstimetoriseup.org and use promo code podcast15 for $15 off your ticket. Whether you worship quietly or exuberantly, come as you are—the water's fine, and God is moving!
