I had the honor of being invited to teach at a retreat by the women at Living Waters for Square Church this past October 2025 in Utah. It's an absolutely amazing retreat, and I am happy to share the message that the Lord put on my heart, which comes from John 4:24 to worship in truth and spirit. Here are the other scriptures that I used throughout the teaching. I hope you enjoy.
John 4:23-24 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

Hosea 2:14-23“Therefore I am now going to allure her; I will lead her into the wilderness and speak tenderly to her. There I will give her back her vineyards, and will make the Valley of Achor a door of hope. There she will respond as in the days of her youth, as in the day she came up out of Egypt. In that day,” declares the Lord, “you will call me ‘my husband’; you will no longer call me ‘my master.’ I will remove the names of the Baals from her lips; no longer will their names be invoked. In that day I will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, the birds in the sky and the creatures that move along the ground. Bow and sword and battle I will abolish from the land, so that all may lie down in safety. I will betroth you to me forever; I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in love and compassion. I will betroth you in faithfulness, and you will acknowledge the Lord. “In that day I will respond,” declares the Lord—“I will respond to the skies, and they will respond to the earth; and the earth will respond to the grain, the new wine and the olive oil, and they will respond to Jezreel. I will plant her for myself in the land; I will show my love to the one I called ‘Not my loved one.’ I will say to those called ‘Not my people,’ ‘You are my people’; and they will say, ‘You are my God.’”

Exodus 20: 4 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.

2 Samuel 24:24 “No, I insist on paying you for it. I will not sacrifice to the Lord my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing.”

Malachi 1:7-8 “By offering defiled food on my altar. “But you ask, ‘How have we defiled you?’ “By saying that the Lord’s table is contemptible. When you offer blind animals for sacrifice, is that not wrong? When you sacrifice lame or diseased animals, is that not wrong? Try offering them to your governor! Would he be pleased with you? Would he accept you?” says the Lord Almighty.

Contempt is defined as- the feeling that a person or a thing is beneath considered, worthless, or deserving scorn.

Worship-worthilness worthy- ship

Sacrifice -It comes from the latin word sacrificial meaning the act of making something sacred (Holy, simply worth of awe and respect.)

James 3:11 “Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring?”

John 4:14 “but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

Exodus 15:22-27 “Bitter water of Marah”

Your family background is a part of you, no matter what you believe or what your family believes. Family shame can be one of the biggest shame we face in this life, but it can end with us. In today's episode, we will discuss how there can also be blessings that come from family through inheritance, legacy, and our family stories of redemption. Today, you will hear from two of my favorite people, Velvette Williams and Amber Dozier, as we share how we grew up and came to know the Lord and the call over our lives. Just know that no matter what type of family you come from, it doesn't have to stay the same in the way you live your life. We serve a generational God, and there is always hope that things can get better.
