I paused the video to pray, but my menstrual cramps were really bad and it was distracting me. I heard Him say, "Do you want me to take them away?" A tiny bit of doubt came in but I said, "Yeah." And the pain stopped 🙌 He said, "I want to do the same for you." (Meaning have amazing encounters like the one Steffany described).
Had to share that testimony, He is so good 🙌🙌🙌
❤
I also have had the same experience of Jesus healing me of menstrual camps! He is so so good!
@@paprikapeprica same here!! ❤
Awesome! Rest with him and Steffany’s music. I’ve had Confidence live on TH-cam on repeat ALL DAY in my van and the shower. It’s such an exquisite song I’m going to have to do the same tomorrow too! 😂
This blessed me!!! I pray this continues for you!!!!!
There is something so pure and authentic about Steffany! Every time she speaks, I just feel so drawn back to Jesus. Just beautiful!
The first time I heard her speak it was presence night 2022 😅
Yes!
So well written! Truth!
She really seems to be the real deal.
She is sadly deceived. Cute tactic bringing their ‘bibles’ as a ‘holy’ prop and never reading them. They’re simply talking about themselves.
I was paralyzed in bed last year and I heard Jesus say out loud to me - If you believe in me get up and walk I got up and not only walked but went for a walk outside. Praise God!!!!! GOD IS ALWAYS WORKING!!!!
Spam! This is posted on every Christian videos from different accounts
Hallelujah! Glory to God ! Amennnn
"How can you stand in front of thousands of people?", "you come back to one every time" 😭😭😭
Literally that was the mic drop. That was the answer to it all. It hit so hard. 🥺🧎🏻♀️
😭😭😭
So good.
@@Skyis612 The basics! Yes!
Yup. I had to pause the video on that one.
I got to play piano for Steffany during a bethel youth retreat in Chico California. Never in my life did I play with someone who made me feel I could be fully ME and let God flow through my music as a worshipper than she did. Precious memories. This was before she started leading for Bethel. Bless you Steffany and your precious family! Jesus is so WORTHY!❤
"We wouldn't find ourselves asking the Lord to bless what we're doing; we'll find ourselves doing what the Lord is blessing"❤ 50:20 & 50:45
Coming from a Baptist background, I don’t know any of these people or names mentioned. However, the authenticity and authority with which they speak drew me in because they radiate the Holy Spirit. Great conversation. I’ve been grieved about modern worship for over 15 years now and couldn’t put my finger on it. God is drawing us from all denominations to operate as one body that is set apart and led by ONE head, Christ. Beautiful to see.
Thank you for your response. I have a friend who is baptist who was taught that the worship music she (the guest here, Steffany) sings is a sin. And it’s that same music that has ushered me in to the know Jesus more freely. 🙏
seriously. denomination aside, I gave my life back 2 years ago unaware of any sort of denomination but it was like I was flying and running with Jesus. He was taking me DEEP into his presence and spirit and I had no education or back knowledge of it to give it language or even say this is “charismatic” but honestly I can care less. The Lord graced me with the intensity of who He is to just sit in His presence and BAWL at his feet. My heart breaks for religious people and denominations that bat eyes and fold their arms in offense at seeing and hearing the beautiful expression to JESUS! David says he will get more undignified than this!! It’s not about us or what we look like but get out of your head and urself y’all! Give him what he deserves and Go there with him! When we try to rationalize Jesus and his works into the human experience we completely miss him because he is fully human but fully God and there is nothing humanly normal about Jesus! His resurrection, life, death everything! There is no one like Him
@@xchorro Amen!
@@xchorroa lot of mega churches are not good churches. a lot preach to please men but ik they don’t talk about sin a lot.
they preach a lot more about the goodness of God etc. ofc that’s good, but we need to have more sermons about our own sin
@@1saamor897That’s why you don’t put your faith and trust in mega churches or any church. Yes be in the body but keep your eyes on Jesus every time. His spirit will convict you of your filth and in his presence He will sanctify you and purify you. It’s a win win full circle of “Jesus you’re making me more like you and taking me to deeper higher depths to experience even more of YOU!” When you realize that because of your own sin & convictions you’re held back from Him it should make you want to drop everything every single time. Full obedience & full surrender! Eyes on Jesus, only Jesus 🙌
'We can be moved by something, and not changed by something. There is a remarkable difference.'
exactly. so many ppl listen to Tribl, Chandler Moore, etc and are moved by the nice sounds coming from the instruments. But how many are praising him deep down. I wish to praise him more than just listen to Christian music at the gym
Love this!
“HE is the water AND the well” 🔥
“When you find those eyes in secret, you’ll find them in a crowd.” 😭😭
Honestly had no idea who this was, but this is one of the most anointed interviews I’ve ever seen. Don’t even know how it got on my algorithm. Thank you.
Thanks Joel
Me too!
Holy Spirit wind
Steffany for me is the most annointed, most humble worship leader I came across here in YT.
"You can feel the difference between high energy and high praise" 👏 🙌 🙏
“When God answers that prayer we have to steward that, and walk it with purity” 🔥
I was homeless, got into drugs, went into prisons, then i got to know Jesus, He changed my life.. Now i have a home, a wife, a lovely daughter and a new identity... A child of God.. Hallelujah
"The Fruit Will Always Speak of The Root!"❤🙌🏾
Her point about Lucifer being a worship leader, that what he did, we can’t do arrogant. So good!
“If you can find those eyes in secret you can find them in front of a crowd”! Wow so true and thank you for this teaching!!!
Stephany, the world needs more of your voice, both in song and in words spoken because you are a pointer to Jesus. Ready for part 2! Yes, let’s do this again.
Agreed!
I always feel so encouraged and inspired everytime I hear anything from Steffany. Her heart for Jesus makes me want to seek Him more deeply and intimately. The world needs more Steffany's that aren't afraid to share Jesus in all His glory. The world has made it more about us than Jesus and we need to go back.
"We wouldn't find ourselves asking the Lord to bless what we're doing, we would find ourselves doing what He's blessing"
I could listen to the two of you talk about Jesus for hours and hours. Thanks for taking the time to do this. So special.
Did I cry through this whole video? Yes. Was it exactly what I needed to hear? Yes. Thank you both for being obedient to the Lord, and thank you, Steffany, for being open and real and truthful! The fact that I'm watching this on Saturday night before I lead worship in the morning is not a coincidence! God knew I needed this message, at this time. Thank you!
WHY IS THIS NOT 3.5 hours. I was just getting into it ahhhhh
This is my first time watching her being interview , and I can feel His love coming from her words. I’m in tears… She’s the real deal , I hope we get to see her more on social media
My eye was clouded with blood from retinopathy and God started to clear it... I was able to see Stephany and the green room sign enough to read it... it's not clear yet...but God started it and touched me. Thank you God
Praise God 🔥🔥🔥
🙌💯He is Faithful.
Man she makes me love Jesus even more 😩 I love the lord
Steffany is the real deal. So much love for this wonderful lady. 🙏🏽♥️
The spiritual maturity in this interview blows my mind. Such a breathe of fresh air.
Steffany is a such spiritual mother and I so look forward to one day knowing her in heaven 💛
She is a precious friend of Jesus and she will never fall to pride and its devices I feel
These people never age. Every time I see them they’re younger and younger.
You win the best comment prize today😊
That Kingdom Life tho ❤️
Thank you for this, I could have watched it for 5 more hours lol 💞🙌. I listened to Jeremy Riddle's album Beautiful Jesus on repeat after I'd just found out my father committed suicide, that my young brother who was just a boy had found him, and that I was about to inherit him to raise on my own. The lyrics in the songs on that album helped me keep the eyes of my heart fixed on Jesus during the darkest part of that time, and I'll forever be grateful for that.
This is so good… Steffany Gretzinger without knowing it you have been a spiritual mother. Walking with Holy Spirit has been shaped so much by you. Will bring you, and your family before the Lord today.
Don't call human a spiritual parent, we only got one Spiritual Parent who is the Father,God of heaven and earth
sweet steffany 🥺 thankful for these snippets we get to see of her again now that she’s no longer at bethel; although i’m sure there’s good reason- aside from her marriage and precious babies- she’s been hidden away from us for this long ❤️🔥
Actually...she visits Jesus Image frequently. If you tune in or look up their services & events...she's there😉
She also leads worship at grace center ! They have a TH-cam page and i love watching her lead worship !
@@shai.loves.tacos. is that where she fellowships now!?! omg tysm!!
@@KapuaKuheana yes !! & Yw !! 💓
I could listen to her speak for hours. The love she has for Jesus is so inspiring and it shows. I would love to hear more videos like this❤
Her speaking voice is also nice
This was the most beautiful interview. Both your hearts are amazing I am moved by your deep love for Jesus. I felt the Lord say to me, see it is ok that I am your entire life. Really amazing
In tears. What an anointed conversation!
Worship the Lord, not your gift. I love this woman. 🔥🔥🔥
Steffany is so pure.
Man just watching this, i felt the fire of Jesus start burning in my stomach and chest. I'm so blessed to have watched this, and encouraged in my faith. God bless all of you and the whole production!!
Same 😭
Thank God for Stephany and her true love of God!
He is a good interviewer !!
Steffany is like an institution, a pilar for God. Has been there on youtube in all my stages of growing up... and in all my difficulties.
Thank you
I love this🕊️🔥so natural and super cute, no makeup, fake hair or nails, sound words, authentic and a hard copy bible at your side. Absolutely stunning and beautiful.
I love Steffany Gretzinger sooo much 😊😊 I could just listen to her talk about Jesus ALL DAY LONG !!!❤❤❤ Such an amazing woman of God 💕💕😊
Oh how I LOVE her 😭 This woman has blessed me in so many ways… & she has no idea who I am! God is so good!
That song 'You know me ' Helped me through a season ❤😭❤
If someone asks me to name some worshipers who are after the Lord's heart and are actually yielded worshipers of God, Steffany's name is definitely in that list! God bless her for her love for Jesus
I love her heart for Jesus! She is my all time favorite worship leader thank you Stephanie for your Authenticity and love for the Lord please come back soon!❤
I learned a lot of very interesting things about Wooster that I had no idea of. I've lived in N. Canton and surrounding area for most of my life. I don't have the words to say really but you both seem familiar. I was drawn to Steffany right away not real long ago. Saw a music video. I sing; use to sing. Sadly God gave me a gift more than one. And I messed up!! I'm getting old now as well, as you mentioned .😊 I'm just another prodigal came home because God is so good. I wish I would of been at that church!! My family still needs deliverance. Thankyou Lord for these two and this talk and testimony. ❤❤
I love her already😂… the genuine joy in the beginning and the statement “friends that love Jesus”
Steffany - thank you for being REAL. Bless you for speaking TRUTH in RIGHTEOUSNESS. Worship belongs to Him and must be centered, focused on Him. Always. It is so refreshing to listen to you, an end-time leader, who does not compromise. This generation must hear what it means to be set apart in holiness before the Lord. It's crucial.
I found Kim Walker Smith in 2008 and someway came to Steffany. She has the most beautiful spirit and I’m so grateful to know her through her music and now interviews.
55:00 About the entitlement vs. humility thing, Jesus Culture visited Finland in 2015 and it really struck me how they were just the worship team for the meeting. No pomp, no circumstance, not even anything like "Hello Helsinki, we're Jesus Culture!..." ... they didn't even introduce themselves, they simply did the work of a worship team. Wonderful humility!
There is so much here that confirms what I have been sensing concerning worship. Thank you for this.
I was there during that revival in Wooster, Ohio. Absolutely phenomenal. There is no one like our God. Yes, we were way past capacity. People were pressing in from all sides, hungry, for Jesus. We were never the same after that.
This broke me… I sat on the bed in tension at Steffany’s words….Soooo sobering!!!
This podcast is changing me…opening my heart even more to the Lord!💖💖 so thankful for this message!
I'm the granddaughter of a Nazarene pastor from Northern Ohio. He helped raise me until about 7 years old and God spoke three things to my spirit when I was 4 years old....He has been speaking to me since I was VERY YOUNG and I am so grateful for how my grandparents encouraged my relationship with the Holy Spirit 🙏🙏🙏
To have the fear of the LORD and then you wont have any other fear! What amazing words💕
Stephanie your earlie vulnerable songs about your vulnerability about where you are and where God meets you there is worship! These songs have led me out of darkness. Be real. Please don't get " religious" on us, stay real in your holiness in the Kingdom. Emotions and our brokenness are real and necessary places in growing closer to Jesus.
She’s not negating that. She even said that those are really important songs. What she is saying is that it’s not wise to have worship with those songs with a congregation. Also, a lot of new “worship” songs (I’d categorize them as Christian and not worship - as to keep them separate) are exactly as you write. But worship songs are supposed to worship God and give Him praise. Not one’s personal story. Which is why she said the best thing for a worship leader to do is get out of the way - their pride, and arrogance and just worship God. Using the Bible and go back to the Bible when writing worship songs. That’s why there is all this stuff coming out about some writers for Bethel, Hillsong, etc.
@@dyanimoriah Sister in Christ ❤❤❤, just wondering though, what about the Book of Psalms? David writes a lot about life challenges and his struggles but of course he chooses to praise God through it all. Is this book not considered true worship because he mentions himself? Also, the Bible says we defeat the devil by the Blood of the Lamb & the Word of our Testimony. Our personal testimonies are so important, they glorify God! If someone writes a song about a personal struggle and overcoming it through Christ, I don't understand how we can say that is not worship? Perhaps we shouldn't lead a congregation with a personal song of victory but to say it's not true worship sounds a little extreme? 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ The person who wrote it could have done it with a pure heart. just trying to understand 😅
Thank you for allowing the Lord to flow through you both. All of you Jesus ❤ Holy Spirit you are overflowing and its so good!
I’m so glad I listened to this. I’m not a worship leader or in music at all. I’m only a worshipper, lover of Jesus, and a long distance admirer of Steffany and Will, Africa and Iris BUT…. As I listened, the glory of God filled my car and a hope and longing was redeposited as I listened to you remember the past together. Then, much confirmation even verbatim as I listened to Steffany continue to share her heart and wisdom. This was precious and holy. Thank you. 🤍
Jeremy riddles songs live in the prayer room has me balling crying all the time! You can tell the difference for sure 😭😭😭
this conversation is simplistically humane and it gives me all the more reasons to love life, they are so well in accord
“not all songs are meant to be heard…what do You want Your people to sing to You?” as someone who loves writing songs for the Lord, there have been SO MANY moments where I wanted to turn everything into a song. I totally understand what steffany meant when she said this very thing loses the sacred nature of intimacy… I experienced the grief of it myself.
as a songwriter, I also dream of having a platform someday. but when I heard that so many worship leaders don't even truly know the One they're singing to… that breaks my heart. but I have been so blessed and inspired by steffany, especially in the music aspect. just to see her heart in the right place and how she longs to remain in Jesus blesses me and reminds me of the Why.
I looove this episode. so much humility and love for the Lord that could only be received in the secret place, in His Presence. God bless you both🤍✝️
Always discern individuals by the fruit they produce! And test the spirits by the Word of God. Regardless of what anyone says make sure you use discernment to discover what is true or not.
Back. To. The. Basics. ... Back to the basis of our faith to begin with... We need to be obsessed with the One who gave it all for and to us! Increase our adoration of Y O U , Father! Very much enjoyed this! What an encouragement!
To have an angel of the LORD experience above the circle of the earth is wonderful!
I have had 2 and I will cherish those moments. THE HOLY SPIRIT I LOVE ❤ THANK YOU FOR HOSTING THE HOLY SPIRIT WITH A SPIRIT OF EXCELLENCE AND CHILDLIKE FAITH LOVE AND BLESSINGS IN THE HOLY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH AMEN
So many good nuggets! The Lord has ministered greatly to me through this. Thank you!
Thank you for giving us more glimpses of the Father's Heart through Steffany and yourself.
Haven't listened to this yet but thank you for interviewing Stephany. I love her so much because you can sense she knows Jesus personally and expresses it so beautifully. So inspired by her love for Jesus.
Love love love her true worship !!! In spirit and truth !!! ♥️🔥🔥🕊️🕊️
It’s in the secret place with Papa YAH !!!
"Consistency is the key to intimacy." My Dad said that. I love that she said "Intimacy and the Fear of the Lord." That's so needed.
* “The fruit will always speak of the root.” 🔥wow wow wow
Faith of my Father plays continually over me for months!! Lord "thank you" for placing this on her heart.
He is the water and the well. I so love this statement !
I love this Soooo Much! When I was new to church worship on the platform Steff taught me early on what true worship really looks like. She gave me the confidence to just love on the Lord through my worship, and not be concerned how I look, it’s all about him. He’s brought me through so much, so to be able to show that love/testimony through song is such a gift ❤❤❤
Such a good word from 37.30min. We need to remember that when Jesus calls you into something, He said “Follow me and I will make you………”. It’s all about Him 🙏🏻 Not for us to go rushing out and take the glory for ourselves, but to humble ourselves before Him first and then allow ourselves to be a conduit for Him to work through to bless others, to be totally surrendered to Him, to glorify Him
She’s very easy to listen to. She’s refreshing.
This episode was stunning. What beautiful revelation, I thank you God for revealing it to us.
This was SOOOO good!!! All things point back to the secret place- to our individual relationships with God. Such a beautiful reminder ❤
That’s A Awesome . Comment,Thank You.
I just love Steffany. She is so pure and is passionate about our Lord & Savior, Jesus.❤
I will never forget when you were at the back of the overflow room in 2009 at Bethel singing with all of us thank you for all that you do for Jesus
Amen. There is no turning back.
Beautiful interview!!!❤❤❤🕊
Love it!!!
This was amazing..thank you both🙌
That was beautiful!
loved this 🙏❤
So good! We would LOVE a second part!
Was waiting to hear her talk, it just pulls us to Jesus. So much of joy is reflecting! ❤ Glad you had her ❤
Thank you for this.
I could listen to Steffany speak for hours. I love her heart for the Lord. Please have her back soon! Maybe even do a few sessions on each of the topics that were mentioned.
Thanks for this
Great interview! I thought the focus on Jesus and the emphasis on ministering to him vs. the adulation of the crowds was great. I'm a bit surprised at the depth of insight. You both are remarkably honest and open about your weaknesses. Very encouraging to see all this.
Thank you for this 😭
Please do this again, this was soooo good! I'm so encouraged.
love this so much
This really helped me tonight. I feel the Lord’s presence and He confirmed so much of what I’ve been feeling lately listening to you guys. Puts my heart and mindset back to what it needs to be on: JESUS.
