Ep. 569: When Life Gives You Lemons, Jesus Laughs
2d ago01:00:06Tap to summarizeWhat happens when a group of women who’ve walked through cancer diagnoses, traumatic births, mental health battles, motherhood chaos, and long seasons of waiting decide to stop holding back their stories? You get Jesus Laughs — the newest Fit Press publication from Tamra Andress and her incredible cohort of co-authors.In this special podcast episode, Tamra gathers several of the book’s authors to share the lemon moments behind their chapters — and the lemonade God made from them. This is not a polished highlight reel. This is the real thing: women who said yes when every part of them wanted to say no, choosing to trust that their story could minister to someone else’s spirit.The Jesus Laughs devotional is available now at your favorite bookstores. Pick it up, gift it to a friend, and leave a review — these women’s testimonies deserve to be in more hands.Meet the AuthorsTami Tenbarge — Chapter 10: “If Not This, God, Then What?”Tami’s story is about the moment she got stuck — laser-focused on one specific thing she was believing God for — until He lovingly ripped away the tunnel vision and opened an entirely new window. Her chapter centers on the question she finally asked Him: “If not this, then what do you want for me?” That surrender unlocked a whole new purpose she didn’t even know was waiting."Only God truly knows what’s best for our lives. If we surrender to Him, He will show us the greatest adventure and create for us the sweetest lemonade — if we trust."Cara Pinder — A Birth Story That Changed EverythingCara spent nearly a decade trying to close the chapter on the most terrifying day of her life — the birth of her daughter, when both of their lives hung in the balance. God kept nudging her to share it anyway. What she thought was a private wound became a pivotal faith story: the power of prayer, community coming together, and a peace that defied every medical circumstance surrounding her.Cara almost said no to contributing to this book because she didn’t consider herself a “perfect Christian.” Her final word to listeners? This book is a perfect starting place for anyone who’s afraid to pick up a Bible or walk into a church — ten real women, ten real stories, God at work even when they didn’t realize it.Rachel Kemp Schoen-Kiewert — How Jesus Turned the Worst Day Into Holy WonderRachel experienced what she calls the worst day of her life last summer. She describes going into a kind of holy numbness — and then God started making her crack jokes. With a 2-year-old worshipping with her in the kitchen and a 9-year-old by her side, laughter became the thing that regulated her nervous system when nothing else could.The joy bomb that followed? Two weeks after the tragedy, Rachel found out she was pregnant. Baby Matteo made his official podcast debut in this very episode — and the fact that Rachel wrote her chapter right after having him makes the whole thing even more beautifully full circle."When you possibly think you’re just going to crumble — He lifts you up and brings you new, joyful things to focus on."Kim Harrison — The Fruit of WaitingKim’s chapter isn’t a tragedy story — and she’s honest about that. It’s about something quieter and in some ways harder: being obedient to God’s specific instructions and then still waiting. The fruit she discovered in that process? Patience. And through the lens of Jesus at the Wedding at Cana, Kim explores what it looks like to see joy in Scripture, to trust that God is intricately involved in every detail — even something as seemingly small as a wedding running out of wine."Some seasons, there are miracles that are just boom, done. And then there are other seasons where it’s still a miracle — it just takes time."Fran Grittinger — The God Who SeesFran’s chapter is about her breast cancer journey — chosen specifically because God could use it in two ways: to showcase the joy that can come through something terrifying, and to encourage women to prioritize early detection. She shares how insecurity almost caused her to miss her early diagnosis entirely, and how God’s perfect plan intervened through an unexpected messenger.Her lemonade recipe: Jesus adds His living water and the sweetness of joy to our sour, sometimes bitter lemons. Three days before this recording, she caught herself wanting to rewrite her chapter in her mind. God’s response? You are never going to write anything perfect — I’m the only perfect one."How can we really know the sweet without the sour? I had to have those lemons to taste the lemonade."Melody Ganaway — Finding Purpose on the Scenic RoadMelody comes from the entertainment world — singer, dancer, performer. Her chapter is about the journey of discovering the purpose God actually had for her, and how every scenic detour He took her on was not a wrong turn. Hebrews 12:11 anchors her story: no discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful — later on, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace.She’s a new mom to a 4-month-old, and the way she tells it, looking back on everything now, it’s obvious: God was cheering her on the entire time."Through the peaks and the valleys — God is with you."Melissa Batt — From Survival Mode to Truly LivingMelissa’s chapter is one of the most quietly powerful in the book. She’s spent the majority of her life in survival mode — existing rather than living — and her story is about the slow, beautiful undoing of that. She spent years micromanaging and controlling every area of life to keep herself and her family safe. God’s invitation? Let me make the lemonade. You just hand me the pitcher.John 10:10 is the heartbeat of her chapter: I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. Over the last 7 years, Melissa has been learning what it actually means to laugh with God."We aren’t meant to exist. We’re meant to truly live."Nicky Asher-Bowling — A Permission Slip for Imperfect MothersNicky has three boys who gave her beautiful gray hair — and her chapter is an honest reckoning with who she was as a mother before she started depending on God. She shares openly about her bipolar diagnosis and her kids’ diagnoses, and how she couldn’t see the silver lining until she got much older and much more desperate for Jesus. She prayed over every word of this chapter. She almost said no. She’s so glad she didn’t."God couldn’t use me unless I went through those things and learned to depend on Him."Kimberly Price — You Were Pressed Not to Perish, But to PourKimberly closes out the author lineup with what might be the most quotable testimony of the episode. Six years into a deep wilderness journey, she’s writing from the other side — and she distinguishes clearly between vulnerability as the world defines it and the actual power of testimony. She traces her journey through the sour, through the squeeze, and into the celebration — which, she says, didn’t arrive as a single moment but as the unveiling of an entire life.She uses the imagery of a butterfly emerging from a chrysalis. When the sour became song, she was able to dance with Jesus again — with a freedom she first knew as a little girl."The undoing is not the end. The pressing is not your punishment. The wilderness is not abandonment. The waiting is not wasted. The struggle is not failure. It is sanctification. It is preparation. It is becoming."What You’ll Take Away From This EpisodeThe story you’re not sharing is often the very story someone needs you to shareSaying yes to God — even when it scares you — is where testimony beginsLemonade requires more than lemons: it requires the surrender to let God sweeten itJoy is not the absence of pain — it’s what God produces in the middle of itCommunity and testimony together have the power to call out life in one anotherGod gets the last laugh — and His plans for your latter days are greater than your formerGet the Book + Leave a ReviewJesus Laughs is available now at your favorite bookstores.

Dec 1600:20:18Tap to summarizeThis is the final episode of The Messenger Movement Podcast—a sacred closing to a seven-year assignment. In this farewell message, Tamra shares what God has been doing beneath the surface, why this season is ending, and what He is rebuilding in its place.After hundreds of episodes, countless interviews, and years of pioneering in the marketplace, Tamra felt the Lord asking her to pause, minimize, and return to the deep listening that marked her early formation as a messenger. This final episode isn’t a goodbye to the movement—it's a surrender to God’s timing so He can mature, refine, and reroute the messenger before the next expression is revealed.If you’ve ever felt God pull you into a quiet season that doesn’t make sense on paper—this closing episode will sit right in the center of your spirit.Notable Quotes from This Final Episode“There’s been a lot of tears specifically tied to the podcast… but the Lord has secured this decision.”“I never want you to falsely idolize my execution.

Transcribe →Ep. 567: A Prophetic Call to Close the Tabs, Clear the Clutter, and Step Into 2026 Aligned
Dec 900:17:35Tap to summarizeAs Tamra reflects on the close of 2025 and the completion of seven years of The Messenger Movement, she opens her heart about what God has been speaking: rest, realignment, prophetic vision, and a call back to the secret place. In this deeply personal episode, Tamra shares the imagery, scriptures, and confirmations the Lord has been revealing—dry bones being restored, members of the body being reconnected, bulldozers clearing what’s no longer needed, and a renewed urgency for holiness, focus, and intentionality as we move into 2026.This isn’t just Tamra’s word; it’s an invitation for the entire body of Christ. If you've felt the tension, the pruning, the urge to simplify, or the unmistakable nudge to shut down what no longer aligns with God’s assignment—this message will resonate deeply. Tamra walks through the process of prophetic preparation, the discipline of remembering, and the sacred act of returning to the manger moments where God births something new.What You’ll Hear in This EpisodeWhy Tamra believes the body of Christ is being sewn back together after seasons of disconnectionHow rest and Sabbath shaped her entire year — and why it was necessary for what’s comingThe prophetic significance of closing tabs, bulldozing distractions, and returning to alignmentThe connection between Mary’s secret moment, your secret place, and your next assignmentWhat the valley of dry bones reveals about the Church in this seasonWhy silence, obedience, and humility prepare the soil for new gifts and fresh birthingsHow the natural signs around us often mirror the supernatural work God is doingThe invitation to simplify the mission and reclaim the sacred rhythm God designedA powerful prompting to ask: What is God asking me to shut down, surrender, or strip back before 2026?Key ThemesProphetic vision & discernmentRest, Sabbath, and spiritual realignmentIdentity and unity within the body of ChristObedience, humility, and clearing space for GodPreparing for new assignmentsThe power of rememberingFamily, home, marriage, stewardship, and holinessMemorable MomentsTamra’s visual of the Lord stitching back members of the body like the rag-doll character from The Nightmare Before ChristmasHer husband’s comment about “200 tabs open” becoming a prophetic lens for clarity and focusThe real-life bulldozers in their backyard—and how the Lord used them to mirror spiritual bulldozingHer daughter’s gentle question about Sabbath that revealed a deeper invitation from GodThe recognition that silencing her message is the radical obedience required for her next assignmentScriptures Referenced1 Corinthians 13–15Ezekiel 37 (Valley of Dry Bones)The Gospel accounts of Mary receiving the message from GabrielA Question for You, Messenger:What is God asking you to let go of, clean out, or close down in order to enter 2026 whole, aligned, and fully available?It may not feel convenient—but it will be holy.
Transcribe →Ep. 566: How God Uses Your Story, Your Voice, and Your Yes
Dec 300:42:10Tap to summarizeToday’s episode is special. I had the joy of jumping onto my friend Melissa Hughes’ podcast, She Can Share, and the conversation was too rich not to bring home to The Messenger Movement community. Melissa and I share the kind of friendship where truth flows easily, joy shows up naturally, and Jesus stays at the center. Together, we dig into the real journey of becoming a messenger — the valleys, the mountaintops, the clarity, the confusion, the bravery, and the obedience that actually builds a Kingdom-led life.You’ll hear the messy middle of my own story: how God pulled the rug out from under my “perfect life,” how He met me supernaturally in my living room at 29, and how He turned a lifetime of striving, trauma, and achievement into a calling rooted in people, purpose, and discipleship in the marketplace.Melissa and I talk about the tension every Christian entrepreneur feels — wanting to honor God with your voice while also navigating visibility, influence, storytelling, and even money. We talk about the fear of what family might think, the cling of poverty mindsets, the beauty of generosity, and why fun and freedom are actually strategic in the Kingdom.If you’ve ever wondered, “Can I really say yes to this calling?” — this conversation is your answer.What You’ll Hear in This EpisodeThe moment God disrupted my life and rebuilt everything from the foundation of ChristHow I went from eight businesses without Jesus to a calling rooted fully in HimWhat to do when you’re multi-passionate and can’t seem to find “your one thing”Why clarity isn’t given — it’s activated through movementThe battle between visibility and false humilityHow to show your face online without making it about youThe truth about family pushback, resistance, and stepping into your story anywayKingdom stewardship vs. poverty thinking — and why generosity is the acceleratorThe idea of “false summits” and learning to acclimate to each new level God calls you toA simple money affirmation that shifts your posture into trust and flowKey Quotes from the Episode“Clarity comes in action. God trusts you to move when you’re aligned with Him.”“False humility hides what God gave you to reveal.”“Every failure is an acclimation point preparing you for the next elevation.”“Prosperity has two lenses: greedy or generous. Choose generosity.”“You answer to Abba — not your hometown, not your critics, and not your past.”Want to Turn Your Message Into a Movement?You’re not just here to learn — you’re here to rise.

Transcribe →Ep. 565: Stop Shrinking Back: Step Into the Messenger God Designed You to Be
Nov 2500:53:39Tap to summarizeIn this powerful keynote episode, Tamra Andress opens the curtain on what it really means to live as a messenger—whether you’re on a stage, in the marketplace, or in a room that doesn’t speak the same spiritual language you do. This isn’t just about motivation. It’s about identity, surrender, and stepping boldly into the message God placed inside you.Tamra shares a behind-the-scenes look at delivering a keynote in a spiritually diverse environment and how she carries Jesus with her into every space without compromise. She digs into the heart work of being a messenger, why surrender is your greatest posture, and how your pains and passions form the backbone of the movement you’re called to lead.This episode is part testimony, part activation workshop, and part clarion call for the messengers who know they’re meant for more—those feeling the tension of transition, those trying to find their footing, and those who are ready to stop shrinking back.What You’ll LearnWhat it looks like to show up for Jesus in rooms that aren’t explicitly faith-based.Why surrender—not confidence—is the true starting point of every messenger.How to recognize whether you’re in the beam, boost, or belief stage of your calling.A deeper understanding of your pain + passion = movement blueprint.How to identify your unique profit identity and spiritual gifting.The role of “fruit” in your personal brand and everyday influence.Why your message matters more in seasons of transition or uncertainty.The importance of eye contact, presence, and being rooted when sharing your story.The life cycle of a messenger: planter, waterer, sunshine, fire starter, or pruner.How to build a message that leads to real transformation—not just attention.Episode SummaryThis episode is a deep, soul-level reminder that you cannot separate your message from who you are becoming. Tamra guides listeners through a powerful journey of surrender, identity, transformation, and activation—helping you connect the dots between your story, your spiritual gifts, and the movement God is inviting you to build.If you’ve ever felt unseen in the process, stuck in transition, or unsure how to share your message boldly, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are—and call you forward.Where to find Tamra:Want to elevate your voice and purpose?

Transcribe →Ep. 564: Healing Your Heart and Your House Before God Sends You Out
Nov 1800:36:08Tap to summarizeThis episode is a candid look at what brave faith, spiritual freedom, and Kingdom leadership actually require—and it’s probably not what most people expect. Tamra shares a behind-the-scenes story (yes, the blue face paint one) that starts out funny but ends up revealing something important about surrender, identity, and the way God forms His messengers long before they step into any kind of public calling.Coming off FounderCon, Tamra reflects on what she saw happening in real time—prophetic alignment, Holy Spirit confirmation, and the kind of honest testimony that only happens when people stop performing and start yielding. Her perspective on marketplace ministry and how God weaves together messages across different voices gives a raw, unfiltered look at how true discipleship and activation actually unfold.But this conversation goes deeper. She talks openly about a hard year in her marriage, what God exposed, and how He rebuilt her understanding of biblical headship, unity, and what healthy Christian partnership looks like when both people are pursuing Jesus. Her reflections on Esther, calling, and women of faith rising in strength without abandoning divine order are some of the most grounded, thoughtful insights she’s shared on the podcast.At the center of the episode is this truth: God calls His messengers home before He ever sends them out. Home to Him. Home to truth. Home to healing. Home to the parts we’d rather skip past on our way to impact. If you’re navigating a refining season in your marriage, your identity, your leadership, or your spiritual formation, this conversation will feel familiar in all the right ways.What you’ll hear in this episodeThe real story behind the Braveheart moment (and what it revealed about bravery in Christ)How God aligned messages at FounderCon through prophetic flow and surrendered leadershipA raw look at marriage restoration, humility, and spiritual maturityWhy biblical headship and Kingdom partnership matter for both men and womenA fresh, grounded reflection on Esther and spiritual authorityThe difference between ambition and Spirit-led callingWhy God shapes messengers in hidden places before public ministryWhat true freedom in Christ feels like when it touches your home firstWhy this episode mattersIf you lead in the marketplace, ministry, or your home…If you're a woman navigating calling, marriage, identity, or spiritual refinement…If you're hungry for freedom, purpose, and clarity about your Kingdom assignment…This episode puts language to the private work God often does before the public work ever begins. It’s honest. It’s gritty. And it’s full of the kind of faith perspective that carries real weight.Where to find Tamra:Want to elevate your voice and purpose?
