| He is the Vine - the secret to Christianity that really works | 18 Jun 2025 | 00:16:52 | |
Leslie continues the He Is series with a short but powerful exploration of Christ as our Vine. As Leslie explains, when we fail to abide in Christ and yet still attempt to live out vibrant Christianity, we will either become legalistic or apathetic and cynical. That’s because we are going through the motions of Christianity with no power to actually live it out. This episode offers practical ways to avoid both legalism and spiritual apathy by learning how to cling to Jesus as our Life Source and let Him live His life in and through us.

| He Is My Identity - knowing who we are in Christ | 17 Mar 2025 | 00:21:32 | |
Leslie continues the He Is series with a message about finding our identity in Christ. When we know who we are in Christ, we won't make the mistake of seeking purpose and fulfillment in the approval of others or unhealthy relationships. We will be content instead of desperate, peaceful instead of impatient, and secure instead of self-focused. As Leslie shares in this episode, knowing our position in Christ is the key to stepping into the life He has called us to live. It has been said that we can’t really know who we are until we know who Jesus is. But we can’t stop there. We must know who He is and what our position is in Him.

This week, Leslie continues her Biblical Mindset series with this practical episode on a Truth-based approach to decision-making. All throughout Scripture it is clear that God desires to guide us, direct our paths, give us wisdom, and show us the way we should go. He desires to be intimately involved in the details of our daily lives. In this message, Leslie challenges us to allow God to be the Ruler of our daily lives and decisions, instead of trying to keep Him as a “back seat driver” and unpacks several biblical principles for hearing God’s voice and discerning His specific will for our lives.

| Keys to a Surrendered Heart - A Biblical Mindset, Part 10 | 11 May 2023 | 00:20:53 | |
This week Leslie continues her Biblical mindset series with fresh Biblical truths for surrendering our completely lives to Christ. Many of us hesitate to let Christ have access to our entire lives and futures. But when we know who Christ is and who we are IN CHRIST, surrendering fully to Him is the natural outflow. In this episode, Leslie reminds us that we will never be safer or more secure than when Christ has access to every part of our lives - our hopes, dreams and future. He is faithful, and His plans for us are good. For more resources from Leslie, visit https://setapart.org/. To support Set Apart Ministries, visit https://setapart.org/support-setapart/.

| Emotions - A Biblical Mindset, Part 9 | 02 May 2023 | 00:23:06 | |
Leslie continues her Biblical Mindset series with this episode on developing a God-honoring approach to emotions. In our culture, our feelings are often placed on a high pedestal. It's easy to put more trust in our emotions than in the unchanging Truth and power of Christ. If we do not develop the habit of bringing our emotions under Christ’s control, we will be in danger of being led by feelings instead of God’s Spirit in our daily actions and life decisions. In this episode, Leslie offers practical ways to bring our emotions under Christ's control by re-setting our everyday processing, thinking and communication patterns according to a Biblical pattern.

Leslie continues her Biblical mindset series with this episode on a God-honoring approaching friendships. Friendships can be a wonderful and edifying gift, but they can they can also create an unhealthy dependence and take the place God wants to have in our lives.

| Personality - A Biblical Mindset, Part 7 | 17 Apr 2023 | 00:24:05 | |
This week Leslie continues her Biblical Mindset series as she unpacks a Biblical approach to personality and purpose. In a world so preoccupied with “finding our true destiny” and "discovering our uniqueness" it’s easy to become consumed with personal fulfillment and self-discovery. Questions such as “how am I unique?” and “what kind of life will most satisfy me?” often become the focal point of our daily choices and life decisions. But, as Leslie shares this week, God prescribes a completely different pattern for finding our life’s purpose and discovering true fulfillment.

| Stillness - A Biblical Mindset, Part 5 | 03 Apr 2023 | 00:22:24 | |
Leslie continues her Biblical Mindset series with a practical episode on cultivating Biblical stillness in our daily lives. Ps 46:10 says: Be still and KNOW that I am God. This kind of stillness is not just calming down our minds, but it is also the action of learning to experientially know who He is and who He wants to be in our lives. In this message, Leslie contrasts Biblical stillness with the cultural ways of "de-stressing" offered by our culture, and shares two practical ways to cultivate true Biblical stillness in our daily lives.

| Meditation - A Biblical Mindset, Part 4 | 20 Mar 2023 | 00:27:43 | |
This week Leslie continues her Biblical Mindset series with this timely message about what it means to continually meditate on God's Truth and agreeing with Him in our thought life. Dwelling on God's Truth instead of the enemy's lies can turn fearful, painful, and even miserable situations into glorious demonstrations of God’s faithfulness and triumph. But in a world filled with darkness and pain, it’s far easier to meditate on things that are fearful, discouraging, or dismal than things that are lovely and of good report. In this episode, Leslie offers helpful ways we can learn to bring our thought life under God's authority and dwell upon His Truth day and night.

| Biblical Worship - A Biblical Mindset, Part 3 | 13 Mar 2023 | 00:22:49 | |
This week Leslie continues her Biblical Mindset series with a candid and practical look at Biblical worship. In a time when there are many counterfeit versions of worship in the modern Church, it's vital to understand the Biblical principles that define true worship.

| He is Enough - finding true contentment in Jesus whether single or married | 11 Mar 2025 | 00:24:51 | |
Leslie continues the He Is series with an inspiring reminder that Jesus is enough to satisfy us at the soul-level, no matter our season of life or circumstances. Many women struggle with finding contentment during singleness, while others feel frustrated and dissatisfied in marriage. It's all too easy to base our happiness on human relationships instead of our relationship with Jesus Christ. While it’s true that God designed us for relationship with others, it is not true that He alone isn’t enough to fulfill us at the deepest level, even if every form of human companionship is stripped away. As Leslie shares in this episode, the entire Bible is a love story — a romance between Jesus Christ and His Bride. Our earthly marriages are meant to showcase the ultimate marriage that we will one day share with Him. But even if we never experience earthly marriage, we can be completely fulfilled by our relationship with Jesus Christ.

This week Leslie continues her Christ-centered Mentoring series with a message about reasoning from a Truth-based perspective.

Leslie continues her Christ-Centered Mentoring series with this poignant episode on handling criticism and personal attack in a Biblical and Christ-honoring way.

| He is my Righteousness - overcoming legalism and self-righteousness | 04 Mar 2025 | 00:22:50 | |
Leslie continues the He Is series with a Biblical look at what it means to find our righteousness in Jesus Christ alone. Leslie unpacks the Biblical pattern for being clothed in the righteousness of Christ instead of relying on our own self-effort and human rules to be right with God. She explains that as healthy as personal convictions can be, they must always be an outflow of our love for Jesus Christ, not what we find our hope and identity in. When personal convictions are placed above Christ, they make us susceptible to self-righteousness and spiritual pride. And when that happens we completely miss the miracle of Jesus as our righteousness. This episode reminds us of the importance of abiding in Christ and placing our hope and identity in Him instead of in our own self-righteousness.

| Channel of Blessing, Part 1 - Christ-Centered Mentoring, Part 8 | 19 Dec 2022 | 00:16:41 | |
This week Leslie continues her Christ-centered Mentoring series with a candid episode on what to do when we feel depleted and inadequate, drawing inspiration from the example of her great-grandmother Ida. It's easy to forget that what God calls us to, He equips us for. But no matter how inadequate we feel, He is ready and waiting to provide us with spiritual refreshment to offer others, if we will allow Him to. As Christ’s Body, we are meant to be carriers of His hope, light, and truth to a desperately needy world. But just like the disciples who were asked to feed a multitude without any resources, we must look to Him to supply what we need in order to fulfill this call.

This week Leslie continues her Christ-centered Mentoring series with this practical episode on pointing women to Christ's strength. While human sympathy often seems like the best response when someone shares their struggles, we can quickly become a tool in the enemy's hands if we encourage that person toward self-pity.

Leslie continues her Christ-centered Mentoring series with this poignant episode on choosing truth over emotion in mentoring relationships and friendships. We often measure our success in reaching another woman's soul based on how much emotion is expressed and how much she opens up about her struggles.

| He is My Wisdom: reasoning according to a Heavenly pattern | 17 Feb 2025 | 00:24:47 | |

Knowing Jesus, walking with Him and being rooted in His Word is what equips us to proactively protect our souls against the enemy’s insipid lies and walk in His Heavenly wisdom.
