Welcome to Renaissance Voices. My name is Kristene ODell, owner of 8 Owls Publishing. Have you ever wanted to get to know the authors behind the books you read? I have! I’m fascinated by the way Jesus moves in the lives of real people with real stories who have met a real Savior in their time of need. It’s these types of authors I love to work with and it’s my privilege to introduce them to you.

Season 2 - Episode 8

by Kristene O'Dell

This is a lighthearted conversation between Kristene and Talor highlighting the different aspects of Season Two. Look for Season Three of Renaissance Voices to launch soon.

Time Stamps:

1:32: This season of Renaissance Voices was deep. Each guest brought something unique to the table. There is still so much to unpack.

2:19: Wholeness and freedom in Christ was a big theme in season two.

3:10: Wholeness is being spiritually, mentally, and physically well. If you are lacking in one area, it overflows to the others.

9:00: Books on being healed from stress related illnesses are important books to write.

10:12: Natalie talked about overcoming anxiety which is another important book to write.

10:35: God wants to heal His body. This season, we heard from different voices that all make up the body of Christ. Things like prophetic ministry, Pastor Richard Knight, Hannah talking about cleansing the land and how that affected her.

11:24: We even touched on the body of Christ when we interviewed John Bates. You will have to go back and listen. It was a funny conversation.

12:03: We also talked about physical healing when Jesus met Junia in a dire situation in Haiti.

12:23: Prophetic ministry was certainly a theme. It’s normal ministry in the body of Christ because it is one of the five-fold ministries that Jesus gave to His Church.

14:52: We touched on the prophetic with Nathan Horton, but then we also brought up the gift of being a teacher. So that says to me that five-fold ministry is coming to the forefront as well.

15:18: We can say that with Nathan, Season Two of Renaissance Voices was built upon the foundation of faith which is interesting because that’s what a five-fold teacher should do!

16:15: Kristene and Talor are working on a book laying out what it takes to write your redemption story. We need your stories about how Jesus has met you in the deepest places and how He overcomes it all.

17:37: Language about what Jesus did on the cross has been lost in certain circles. When we don’t have stories that show us and when we don’t hear the message of the cross over and over, the Church begins to be shaped more into a religious structure instead of offering the beautiful relationship that we are all invited into no matter our background.
