Steffany is like a modern weeping prophet. Her heart is so tender towards God and his people.🙏🏾💜🙏🏾 Once you’ve tasted the goodness of God, I melt too, his love is incomprehensible.🙌🏾😭🙌🏾
Stef displays the secret place lifestyle of a 100 percent sold out bride. That is why people are so incredibly blessed when she opens and shares her heart ❤️
I have decided to refuse to be embarrassed by my softness...He has made me so. So it's Good. Embarrassment comes from shame, and we know where That comes from!! No more. I care about Stuff, and it comes out of my eyes. Anyone got a problem with it? I can pray for them... 😏 So. Don't Be Embarrassed. Feel sorry for those who don't have it. And pray for them! 😊x0 ❤🫂
I do not fangirl over “celebrities” or singers etc. BUT Steffany is a rare consecrated treasure that deserves all the flowers. Everytime she speaks she blesses me so much. Especially as a mama and servant girl of the Lord Jesus Christ
Aww yes, Christy Nockels is that same way for me. I really look up to her a lot. Both her & Steven Curtis Chapman. They are not perfect by any means, I know. But to me, they are the standard. They are such good examples of just what it looks like to truly love the Lord in the business & keep to your own & carry about with this quiet strength. They’re brilliant. Both of them. I love them both. They to me are like how Joni Mitchell & James Taylor are to others.
If Steffany goes home to be with the Lord and someone interviews all of us and asks us to say just one thing about her, I think we would all say “that woman LOVES JESUS” 😭❤️😭❤️
So true. That was her reason for writing No One Ever Cared For me Like Jesus....."let my children tell their children. Let this be their memory. That all my treasure was in heaven. And you were everything to me"
"There's a place of knowing Him in the suffering that you can't another way" Suffering gives us a glimpse into loving Him in the way that He loved us. Oh what a privilege!
Everytime I hear Steffany speak somewhere I feel like I could sit with her for maaany hours. I have never met her, but I have also not ever met someone loving Jesus and responding to him in such a sensitive and honest way as she does. Not to hype people, but I guess people will understand what I mean. She is truly burning.
The reason there is a “Steffany effect” is because the genuine love of the Lord just pours out of her. Through the way she talks, expresses herself and how she musically worships. I understand what she means by trying to remove the visual aspect of her videos but seeing her heart being poured out like alabaster gives us all a great standard to try to reach in loving the Lord with that much fire and passion. Love you guys and love you big Steffany you’re an inspiration.
Let me start by saying... I do not comment on videos. Like ever. But I wanted to share this after hearing you both speak about turning off TH-cam//Videos of worship. It reminded me of the summer of 2015. My husband + I went to a Bethel Worship Night. Before the service started, I remember seeing Baby Wonder in her pink headphones protecting her tiny ears! I had yet to feel my first born in my tummy... and I remember seeing Wonder and praying. Lord, I cannot wait for mine. When it all started, I got my very pregnant body down into the floor. On my face. However I could manage to be down there. My husband said "wait you're not going to stand and see what happens?" I replied... this is where I will see what happens. He knew immediately my heart was where it needed to be. I didn't see most of what took place. But I saw who I was there for AND I felt my baby in my tummy for the First Time down on that dirty theater floor. Barefoot and pregnant and covered in tears. He is the point.
The Lord has used Steffany to teach me and get me to a level of intimacy I didn’t even know existed. What a good and faithful servant of our God in heaven!! I asked him to bring me to her level one day.

I'm a 15 year old boy going through depression 🥺. I always listen too gospel song to put myself together. I recently lost my grandmother this year and every time when I listen to this song makes me cry. I just wanna be in god arms right now but I want to finish my school first. I feel hopeless right now 😔. Pray for me please 😭
My testimony is that after years, God set me free from the spirit of depression! He revealed I was dealing with a spirit of death. Someone prayed with me and had me confess that I had agreed with my mouth, my words, over and over. I renounced my agreement to both and denounced it as not from the Spirit of the living God. I broke the legality of allowing them in my life. So I pray that God reveals His great love for you, to you, and reveals who He really is, and who you really are, and the power of His blood, and comforts you and takes you into His loving Father's arms! I speak the freedom over you which His word declares. That Christ has set you free, and you are free indeed! May He carry you through everything! God bless you, little brother!
Keep reading His word even when it's painful and you feel like your can't focus or even believe. Keep talking to Him. Even with the hard questions. Remember He knows suffering, He's well acquainted with your suffering, He has your name written on the palm of His hand(Isaiah 49) Just keep seeking His heart and He will teach into your mess and bring you from darkness into His glorious light! 🙏
I don’t see Steffany interviews out there often but get excited when one comes up on my feed. Her faith in Jesus is so raw, sincere and CONTAGIOUS!! Oh and she’s got a great voice!! 😉 I could listen to her all day every day!
I love the way she often cries when she talks about Jesus bcoz I also cry a lot. Like a lot everytime I talk about Him too or just hear his name being mentioned. I’ve been weeping a lot after I encountered Him as a bridegroom. It really wrecked me but there are times I’m embarrassed about it. But I guess that’s my love language with the Lord. And I love that Steff speaks the same language, so to speak 🥹
I completely understand. I cry almost every time His name comes up. I can't help it. It embarrassed me a little bit at first, but now I think it is the most beautiful heart posture.
I understand the embarrassment but don’t be! There are times I see someone like Steffany and think man I wish I could constantly cry at the mention of the Lord like that. I’ve cried plenty and have had plenty encounters and of course just because we cry isn’t always an indication of truly intimacy but when I see someone like her cry when she speaks of the Lord I say to myself I want that sort of intimacy with you Jesus. And I believe there are those looking at you saying the same thing. He keeps every tear in a bottle and those who sow in tears reap in joy my sister. God bless!
I think we all cry about him for different reasons. I cry about him because of how overwhelmed I am that he redeemed me for my past sins when I realize how much he loves. I don’t often trust Christians who grew up in the church but I would trust someone if they cried about God or Jesus. I often meet people in the church but don’t meet people with a genuine relationship with God. It is not embarrassing - it shows you really have a relationship
Already weeping through the first 15 minutes watching Steph and Liz honor and empathize over each other's grief having both losing their dads...especially when Liz says that her father passed away in February and there was a snow storm for his funeral because my father also passed away, 6 years ago now, in February during a snowstorm ♥ Also I just love Steph and all she has to say, I always feel blessed listening to her faith and heart. She's one of those people I likely will never meet in this life but hope to be able to sit across from and just chat with in heaven 😌
I love that she’s a crier too because same😭 when I spend time in fellowship with the Holy Spirit I always giggle and apologize cuz I just be crying he’s presence just make me weep. It’s a beautiful overwhelming feeling I don’t even know how to explain it.
I laugh and cry then laugh again but my heart sings and Jesus knows what we need too. Maybe we need our joy restored at that moment and He gives us the giggles then we are moved by how much He truly loves and we cry from overwhelming love that our brains just can’t comprehend.
Jesus so closely speaks through Steffany that listening to her creates the instant change and healing only He can do. Their intimacy is an immediate impartation. Thank you sister ❤
Well, personally I grew up in a Protestant church and now I am going through the sacraments at a Catholic Church. The world Catholic itself means universal. The Catholic Church was the first church established then after Martin Luther a variety of denominations have formed. For me stating that I’m Catholic tells you many things ( I believe in the holy trinity, the Eucharist, etc) There are many “Christian” denominations that don’t believe that Christ was God as well as other foundational Christian or followers of The Way beliefs. So I just use it as an indicator so you may know even if at a surface level the beliefs I am coming in with. But I am a Christian, 100%
@@trynnagetcloser i thought calling yourself Christian would mean that you believe in Christ and that is enough. I also think Christ's name comes first then we could call out our denominations if necessary. So it's better to call ourselves Christians. But I see so many call themselves Catholic proudly.
I have no idea who either of you are this just showed up on my TH-cam feed and decided to watch. I will say the both of you really touched my heart and know that the God is speaking to me.
"Didn't our hearts burn within us while He spoke?" That's just how I feel every time Steffany talks about Jesus. I'm so overwhelmed (in a good way) after listening to this. This video was such a blessing, and Steffany, you're a precious gift to the Body of Christ❤ I praise the Lord for your life. You truly spoke to my heart when you talked about motherhood and the challenges in trying to still be intimate with the Lord in the midst of all the responsibilities and demands that come with the territory. God forever bless you as you continue to use your voice to draw souls to Christ❤
I LOVE the pure heart,, tenderness and gratitude of this woman ; how her heart is filled to overflowing with the compassionate love of our Father! Like someone has already said, she's the real deal!!! ❤ So thankful
Steffany your love for jesus helps me in my journey. Its like your talking right to me sometimes. Thank you for leading us to him, helping us to walk the right path.
I have never seen someone so in love with Jesus the way she is! She has fired me up just watching her weep his words! I want that! I want that love!! I need my prayer closet! I need this!!!
So many nuggets of goodness and truth. Love Steffany's heart for Jesus. So pure and tender. Thank You, Jesus for randomly putting this episode in my lap. I needed to hear so much of this message. Hallelujah.
That is so powerful the lady who is a farmer missionary, her dad time on earth was almost up so God had them be together in mission field those last days ❤ so powerful, God is totally in the details.
I’m halfway through this podcast and am enjoying it immensely. But my favorite thing about this is that it just feels like a dinner table. There’s interruptions, people are coming and going, the host even offers Steffany something to eat. It’s not so structured that it feels disingenuous but not so chaotic that it’s distracting. It’s just flowing and full and edifying. I absolutely love the culture that it sets and I appreciate it so much. The discussion on boundaries is eye opening and something I’ll be praying and ruminating on. Thank you for sharing and being so faithful!
I like to call her Pastor Steffany, she has pastored me so well with the little I have come across from her. Worship and interview alike. She has a shepherd's heart, so tender and so brave. I am grateful to have encountered a soul like hers in my youth. Truly an expression of Jesus Christ. Thank you Will and Hart. Your sacrifice, obedience and vulnerability are opening doors for many to encounter Jesus. May healing and wholeness abound.
Boundaries are something that you can enforce regardless of what other people do. Boundaries in parenting are an opportunity to define family values. Gods boundaries pertain to His holiness. Let your yes be yes and your no be no
“There is something reserved for secrets that isn’t for a room like that; and if we are only watching rooms like that we are never in secret” Steff !!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Teach my friend!
YES YES YES YES!!! FINALLY!!!!! PEOPLE WHO ALSO AGREE THAT BOUNDARIES ARE NOT ENTIRELY BIBLICAL!!! IM SO SO HAPPY THAT THEY AGREE!! I knew it in my Spirit!!
I'm not a Christian anymore but I find this conversation really interesting and I enjoy hearing Steffany and Will talk. They seem really genuine and honest which I really appreciate.
@@shanleecaulfield7064whatever you walked away from, regardless of what it was ‘called’, was the right thing to do because it was some kind of wrong doctrinal religious system. A true supernatural conversion experience with Jesus is the only real Christianity. God will lead us out of the wrong thing to get us into the truth. No one meets Jesus for real & walks away. Meeting Him for real forever dissolves the desire to walk away. *yes we can backslide & we can even become angry with God & closed off for a time…but those are our conflicted emotional issues He wants to heal…not a departure from legitimate new creation convert salvation.
This clip has broken a year of disassociation, cognitive dissonance, proceeding from 3 years of adrenaline fueled striving. OFCOURSE IT WASN'T THIS CLIP, IT WAS HIM, BRINGING ME BACK. All the way over here in the bottom of the South Island of New Zealand. Thankyou for doing this my brother and sisters. Peace
This conversation was so powerful. I had to pause it several times just to go pray and let Jesus wreck my heart all over again. Thank you for hosting such transformational moments 🔥
She has a beautiful soul. As someone who was deeply abused by my parents, I have to work on my heart posture with people like this because I used to have envy towards people like this. There’s a part of me that always judges people who seem to have life filled with love from others because so many of God’s people don’t have that - but if she is chosen by God then she deeply understands suffering, pain and rejection. I have to talk to God about the envy in my heart. He knows this about me. She seems like a truly beautiful person.
The convictions that came from this video and so many notes I wrote that the Lord was speaking to me about. We are having communion this week with our small group and now have a different take after what she shared.
What a blessing to hear Steffany share about her walk with the Lord. Especially the last 10-15 minutes sharing honestly about her humanness as a mom of young children. So good! Just the tidbit of how the Holy Spirit talked with her about nursing her baby in the middle of the night. What a blessing to young moms if she were to write a devotional for young mothers. They would be so blessed!
The Lord broke through my much lamented veils and hardness of heart with so much transparency and spiritual depth from all in this conversation. Thank you all for sharing your journeys in Jesus. I am listening to this over and over and experiencing God's presence hopefully unto real Christ like transformation. I am again so grateful to you all. 8)
Steffany has such a beautiful heart for Jesus! I had the privilege of attending a conference break-out session with her and Jeremy Riddle a few years ago, and the presence of the Lord just oozes out of her! Great conversation!
Steffany truly is a treasure, a gift of God for the body of Christ. Her tenderness and tears for Jesus always move me greatly, Oh God that we may know You as Steffany does. I cant imagine anything better. I'm having a hard time dying to myself, please lets pray for each other that we may be free from all other affections that turn our eyes away from Christ.
“This is one of those moments where mom won’t always be with you, but the Holy Spirit will. Call on his name.. because the Holy Spirit will fill you more than mom ever could. “ WOW.
Woke up @5am after hearing this message yestrerday to sit at His feet , take communion with Him “daily bread” thank you Stephanie you’re so inspiring. The anointing and pureness is so evident 🔥🔥 you’re a gem 💎
She speaks so poetically, and lives so poetically I am so touched by her love for Christ, and I resonate with everything she says. What true faith this beautiful woman has
I have never heard anyone like Stephani before. The first time I saw her was when she had her daughter on the stage and let her just sit there. She was so free and open in how she worshipped. Then when I searched her out on TH-cam I ran across the first interview you had. What a beautiful, spirit filled lady.
I can testify that when I watch Stephanie preach and teach and just talk, the Holy Spirit wrecks me. She is very blessed and God DEFINITELY can easily reach people through her. Her music is amazing, but even MORE so, her just speaking.
I loved this whole video! But the last little bit with his wife and Stephanie was the best! The questions about how to be a mom of Littles was the absolute most touching and impactful thing! I so appreciate hearing the practical as well as the imperfect parts of mothering. I’m a mom of three little ones and I just really needed to hear this❤
Thank you, Jesus! Please let me have friends again where I have the space and grace to learn about you and share testimony and where we can just be in Your presence. Jesus, please bless them more.
I love Steff! I met her in 2012 at Bethel School of Worship. What an amazing woman of God. People say I sing and am like her. I take it as a compliment.
Give us this day our daily bread. Daily! It is truly His body and blood. Catholic Church has been preaching this for over 2000 years! Glad our Protestant brothers and sisters are coming to this beautiful truth!!!
now I know why before we do the communion in the Catholic church, we pray this prayer "Lord I am not worthy to enter under your roof but only say the word and I shall be healed". it's in preparation, and act of examining ourselves before taking the the communion--the body and blood of Christ.
Watching Steffany and how authentic she is with her relationship with Jesus, gives me great hope for the younger generation and pushes me at 75 to continually pursue Him! The Precious Lamb if God! Thank you Will for having her on again! ❤
When she Speaks you can fill that she carries the presence of God her heart is intertwined with the Father's. I sure do hope we see more of her and she comes and shares more of her heart!!
Oh my heart burned during this whole conversation! The Holy Ghost was all over this conversation! To hear truth spoken and feel conviction and cry out in repentance! Thank you Holy Ghost for doing what only You do and, thank you Stephany for being the yielded vessel He has poured into! Thank you Iris Global for hosting a glory filled interview!❤❤❤ Bless you all!
Thank you Jesus, for putting Steffany on this earth in this time. I needed to hear this today...I'm still weeping...I so needed this today...kisses from Jesus. ❤
what steffany saying is 100%. and, sadly, it wasn't until my husband and i retired that we started to get even a clue. it's all about HIM. ALL about Him! soup to nuts! glory to GOD
See what happens when you're obedient to God's will. God's way is so much better. His ideas are so creative & amazing. He's just incredible. Steffany Gretzinger is just a testament to his greatness. Prayer is power, never doubt the impact of prayer.
At the end when asked how she has time for the Lord when taking care of her children, I was reminded of the story and book from Brother Lawrence: The Practice of The Presence of God, who found how to live in His presence all the time while working in the kitchen of a monastary. He was a very simple man but got to have a correspondance with Mothers superiors of convents... to teach them.... and a great influence on priests and bishops. " Brother Lawrence was a man of humble beginnings who discovered the greatest secret of living in the kingdom of God here on earth. It is the art of "practicing the presence of God in one single act that does not end." He often stated that it is God who paints Himself in the depths of our soul. We must merely open our hearts to receive Him and His loving presence. For centuries this unparalleled classic has given both blessing and instruction to those who can be content with nothing less than knowing God in all His majesty and feeling His loving presence throughout each simple day."
1:03:05 I love the way that you both speak about boundaries because it’s not about “not having self control” but these boundaries that Will shares are about respect.
Best interview ever. Love Iris global and everything you guys do. Liz is incredible and Steffany is so pure. Awesome questions, Will. Thank you so much for this!!
The unattractive potters that are beholding the string of pearls plant reminds me of the treasure we hold in our earthen clay vessels. The things that matter for life to grow are the conditions of the soil, the light, the life-giving water and oxygen, not the container of which they are in. Prophetically too, plants produce harvest and fragrant aromas, the beauty afterwards is awe-inspiring and rewarding to the planter. Fruitfulness reflected in plants that cause seeds from the harvest. Prophetic Plant-ology 101 🙌
This is someone who loves Jesus and is open to his every command, May the Lord bless her and be her continuous strength such a beautiful display of passion for the Lord ❤️❤️❤️
"Everything becomes an altar... There's a lamb on the throne and all that is needed is already provided." "When he has everything, he really will do anything."
yes, it's all about being discipled by jesus. one on one. RELATIONSHIP. when i started going to church after meeting the lord in the privacy of my bedroom at age 30, instead of encouraging me in my relationship with him.. in worship, prayer, the word.. i was advised to go to church (listen to sermons) and attend discipleship classes.. where of course the focus was all on the teachers/preachers.
Thank you Jesus to leading me to this video. I have been praying to God to help me not be so emotional every time His name comes up bc it’s embarrassing to me as I’m speaking being the few that cries as I do for Him. LOL and then I’m directed here. Thank you Lord!!! Purity and Love for Jesus right here ❤ I Get it now - LOVE YOU LORD!!! So powerful - Steffany is the real deal -
It’s so nice to see someone be so excited about Jesus being the bridegroom and we are the bride and the emotional side of what you have experienced from the intimacy with Christ!
Steff will have the greatest reward in heaven with the amount of testimonies from her words & the way she lives her life. Praise God for the way she was raised & the person she has become by walking with the Holy Spirit & being open to God’s correction.
BRO IM SO HAPPY YOU BROUGHT HER BACK. I DONT CARE WHAT NOBODY SAY, STEFFANY IS A REAL ONE AND SHE HAS THE RIGHT TO SPEAK ON GODS AFFAIRS.
Couldn't agree more!!!
I love this podcast combo!
P
No she’s nuts and a part of the bethel cult
Wait there are actually people who don’t like her?
Steffany is like a modern weeping prophet. Her heart is so tender towards God and his people.🙏🏾💜🙏🏾 Once you’ve tasted the goodness of God, I melt too, his love is incomprehensible.🙌🏾😭🙌🏾
This!!!
You said it so perfectly: modern weeping prophet
The Modern Weeping Prophet! I love it!
I actually heard this in the spirit and reading it in the comments is confirmation ❤
Trueeeee. Modern day Jeremiah…but I looooooooove her and how God keeps using her.🥰🥰
Stef displays the secret place lifestyle of a 100 percent sold out bride. That is why people are so incredibly blessed when she opens and shares her heart ❤️
Yess! I love what she said, “ When He he has everything, then He will do ANYTHING.” ❤️🔥✨
Yes 100%!
❤
I love that she’s a crier. I’m a crier and feel sooo embarrassed by it. any little thing is so precious to me. ♥️
SO AM I. IT is a gift. You're a feeler. It's beautiful as you are
me too, I'm a dude though, so I got made fun of it growing up. But the Lord used it to make me into a pastor and a worship leader haha
I have decided to refuse to be embarrassed by my softness...He has made me so. So it's Good. Embarrassment comes from shame, and we know where That comes from!! No more. I care about Stuff, and it comes out of my eyes. Anyone got a problem with it? I can pray for them... 😏 So. Don't Be Embarrassed. Feel sorry for those who don't have it. And pray for them! 😊x0 ❤🫂
Me too, I can't help it. I'm just a cry baby😊 truly yours, Anna Gillylan
I needed this comment😅❤🙏 God bless u!
I do not fangirl over “celebrities” or singers etc. BUT Steffany is a rare consecrated treasure that deserves all the flowers. Everytime she speaks she blesses me so much. Especially as a mama and servant girl of the Lord Jesus Christ
Yes!!
Amen!!
Aww yes, Christy Nockels is that same way for me. I really look up to her a lot. Both her & Steven Curtis Chapman. They are not perfect by any means, I know. But to me, they are the standard. They are such good examples of just what it looks like to truly love the Lord in the business & keep to your own & carry about with this quiet strength. They’re brilliant. Both of them. I love them both. They to me are like how Joni Mitchell & James Taylor are to others.
❤
She always makes me feel SO CONVICTED in the best way 😭😭😭😭
Right?!
Yes!!!
EXACTLY
"if I can do it on my own, it's probably not Him anyway"🙌🏼😭
If Steffany goes home to be with the Lord and someone interviews all of us and asks us to say just one thing about her, I think we would all say “that woman LOVES JESUS” 😭❤️😭❤️
NO FRRR!!! 😭😭😭 she makes me hunger for the Lord sm AARGHH LOVE HERRRRR
So true. That was her reason for writing No One Ever Cared For me Like Jesus....."let my children tell their children. Let this be their memory. That all my treasure was in heaven. And you were everything to me"
Absolutely! It’s written all over her. My prayer is that someone would say that about me
so beautiful ah @@DeniSoars
Amen !!!
"There is a lamb on the throne and everything you need has already been provided"
The way she cries every time she speaks 🥺 the love she has for God is so deep and pure. To be this connected to God. Wow 🤍
"There's a place of knowing Him in the suffering that you can't another way"
Suffering gives us a glimpse into loving Him in the way that He loved us. Oh what a privilege!
What a sentence - ive known Him through the loss of both my parents
He has kept me out from sinking in the deep waters 🙏🏻💕
Everytime I hear Steffany speak somewhere I feel like I could sit with her for maaany hours. I have never met her, but I have also not ever met someone loving Jesus and responding to him in such a sensitive and honest way as she does. Not to hype people, but I guess people will understand what I mean. She is truly burning.

@@VanessaRaphaelI think they were referring to her level of intimacy. We should absolutely be provoked by fellow believers to go deeper in the Lord.

“People benefit when you share your heart” this is true! She is humble and anointed.
She always points us to intimacy and I praise God for it😭😭😭❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I loove how Steffany breaks before the Lord all the time, such a pure surrendered heart to the Lord
I'm a 15 year old boy going through depression 🥺. I always listen too gospel song to put myself together. I recently lost my grandmother this year and every time when I listen to this song makes me cry. I just wanna be in god arms right now but I want to finish my school first. I feel hopeless right now 😔. Pray for me please 😭
Hang on to Jesus....He has purpose for your life. Fear not for the Lord God is with you even in the loss of your Grandma!!!🙌🏽☝🏾🔥🙏🏽
My testimony is that after years, God set me free from the spirit of depression! He revealed I was dealing with a spirit of death. Someone prayed with me and had me confess that I had agreed with my mouth, my words, over and over. I renounced my agreement to both and denounced it as not from the Spirit of the living God. I broke the legality of allowing them in my life. So I pray that God reveals His great love for you, to you, and reveals who He really is, and who you really are, and the power of His blood, and comforts you and takes you into His loving Father's arms! I speak the freedom over you which His word declares. That Christ has set you free, and you are free indeed! May He carry you through everything! God bless you, little brother!
Read Matthew 11:28-30. Jesus is with you always, whether you feel like it always or not. Deuteronomy 31:8. Jeremiah 29:11-14.❤❤❤
Praying :) in Jesus Name !!
Keep reading His word even when it's painful and you feel like your can't focus or even believe. Keep talking to Him. Even with the hard questions. Remember He knows suffering, He's well acquainted with your suffering, He has your name written on the palm of His hand(Isaiah 49) Just keep seeking His heart and He will teach into your mess and bring you from darkness into His glorious light! 🙏
I don’t see Steffany interviews out there often but get excited when one comes up on my feed. Her faith in Jesus is so raw, sincere and CONTAGIOUS!! Oh and she’s got a great voice!! 😉 I could listen to her all day every day!
me tooo!
Tell me what that "Faith" is please. NEVER once did I hear the gospel. Gal 1:6-11
Literally she’s an earth angel ! So profound ! So anointed! So gracious ! So humble !
@@CrystalBurke-ee2du chapter and verse please on an Earth Angel? She doesn't serve the right Jesus.
I could listen to her speak all the time. Her love for Jesus is so beautiful ❤️🥹
I love the way she often cries when she talks about Jesus bcoz I also cry a lot. Like a lot everytime I talk about Him too or just hear his name being mentioned. I’ve been weeping a lot after I encountered Him as a bridegroom. It really wrecked me but there are times I’m embarrassed about it. But I guess that’s my love language with the Lord. And I love that Steff speaks the same language, so to speak 🥹
I completely understand. I cry almost every time His name comes up. I can't help it. It embarrassed me a little bit at first, but now I think it is the most beautiful heart posture.
I understand the embarrassment but don’t be! There are times I see someone like Steffany and think man I wish I could constantly cry at the mention of the Lord like that. I’ve cried plenty and have had plenty encounters and of course just because we cry isn’t always an indication of truly intimacy but when I see someone like her cry when she speaks of the Lord I say to myself I want that sort of intimacy with you Jesus. And I believe there are those looking at you saying the same thing. He keeps every tear in a bottle and those who sow in tears reap in joy my sister. God bless!
I think we all cry about him for different reasons. I cry about him because of how overwhelmed I am that he redeemed me for my past sins when I realize how much he loves. I don’t often trust Christians who grew up in the church but I would trust someone if they cried about God or Jesus. I often meet people in the church but don’t meet people with a genuine relationship with God. It is not embarrassing - it shows you really have a relationship
Already weeping through the first 15 minutes watching Steph and Liz honor and empathize over each other's grief having both losing their dads...especially when Liz says that her father passed away in February and there was a snow storm for his funeral because my father also passed away, 6 years ago now, in February during a snowstorm ♥ Also I just love Steph and all she has to say, I always feel blessed listening to her faith and heart. She's one of those people I likely will never meet in this life but hope to be able to sit across from and just chat with in heaven 😌
I love that she’s a crier too because same😭 when I spend time in fellowship with the Holy Spirit I always giggle and apologize cuz I just be crying he’s presence just make me weep. It’s a beautiful overwhelming feeling I don’t even know how to explain it.
I laugh and cry then laugh again but my heart sings and Jesus knows what we need too. Maybe we need our joy restored at that moment and He gives us the giggles then we are moved by how much He truly loves and we cry from overwhelming love that our brains just can’t comprehend.
Jesus so closely speaks through Steffany that listening to her creates the instant change and healing only He can do. Their intimacy is an immediate impartation. Thank you sister ❤
I’m Catholic and I am moved by your love for the Eucharist! 💕 It is His body and His blood! Praise God!
I have a question, why do people call themselves Catholic instead of Christian?
Well, personally I grew up in a Protestant church and now I am going through the sacraments at a Catholic Church. The world Catholic itself means universal. The Catholic Church was the first church established then after Martin Luther a variety of denominations have formed. For me stating that I’m Catholic tells you many things ( I believe in the holy trinity, the Eucharist, etc) There are many “Christian” denominations that don’t believe that Christ was God as well as other foundational Christian or followers of The Way beliefs. So I just use it as an indicator so you may know even if at a surface level the beliefs I am coming in with. But I am a Christian, 100%
Hope that helps, I am totally open to more questions! ☺️
The ”word” Catholic, not ”world” means universal! Oops
@@trynnagetcloser i thought calling yourself Christian would mean that you believe in Christ and that is enough. I also think Christ's name comes first then we could call out our denominations if necessary. So it's better to call ourselves Christians. But I see so many call themselves Catholic proudly.
Secret place is so important. It’s all about that intimacy! Thank you for pointing me to Jesus always ❤
I love her tender heart towards Jesus. You can tell she is full of praise, thanksgiving and love.
I wish she were full of salvation! She serves another "spirit" be warned!
@@LifeClipsPodcastwhat makes you think that?
I have no idea who either of you are this just showed up on my TH-cam feed and decided to watch. I will say the both of you really touched my heart and know that the God is speaking to me.
"Didn't our hearts burn within us while He spoke?" That's just how I feel every time Steffany talks about Jesus. I'm so overwhelmed (in a good way) after listening to this. This video was such a blessing, and Steffany, you're a precious gift to the Body of Christ❤ I praise the Lord for your life. You truly spoke to my heart when you talked about motherhood and the challenges in trying to still be intimate with the Lord in the midst of all the responsibilities and demands that come with the territory. God forever bless you as you continue to use your voice to draw souls to Christ❤
I LOVE the pure heart,, tenderness and gratitude of this woman ; how her heart is filled to overflowing with the compassionate love of our Father! Like someone has already said, she's the real deal!!! ❤ So thankful
This 2 hours and 10 minutes has been the most helpful discipleship conversation I have heard yet. Thank you. God led you the whole way through
Yes guarding the presence in the home has been something I’ve learned to do. It really makes a difference.
Steffany your love for jesus helps me in my journey. Its like your talking right to me sometimes. Thank you for leading us to him, helping us to walk the right path.
I have never seen someone so in love with Jesus the way she is! She has fired me up just watching her weep his words! I want that! I want that love!! I need my prayer closet! I need this!!!
So many nuggets of goodness and truth. Love Steffany's heart for Jesus. So pure and tender. Thank You, Jesus for randomly putting this episode in my lap. I needed to hear so much of this message. Hallelujah.
That is so powerful the lady who is a farmer missionary, her dad time on earth was almost up so God had them be together in mission field those last days ❤ so powerful, God is totally in the details.
I’m halfway through this podcast and am enjoying it immensely. But my favorite thing about this is that it just feels like a dinner table. There’s interruptions, people are coming and going, the host even offers Steffany something to eat. It’s not so structured that it feels disingenuous but not so chaotic that it’s distracting. It’s just flowing and full and edifying. I absolutely love the culture that it sets and I appreciate it so much. The discussion on boundaries is eye opening and something I’ll be praying and ruminating on. Thank you for sharing and being so faithful!
I like to call her Pastor Steffany, she has pastored me so well with the little I have come across from her. Worship and interview alike. She has a shepherd's heart, so tender and so brave. I am grateful to have encountered a soul like hers in my youth. Truly an expression of Jesus Christ. Thank you Will and Hart. Your sacrifice, obedience and vulnerability are opening doors for many to encounter Jesus. May healing and wholeness abound.
Boundaries are something that you can enforce regardless of what other people do. Boundaries in parenting are an opportunity to define family values. Gods boundaries pertain to His holiness. Let your yes be yes and your no be no
“There is something reserved for secrets that isn’t for a room like that; and if we are only watching rooms like that we are never in secret” Steff !!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Teach my friend!
YES YES YES YES!!! FINALLY!!!!! PEOPLE WHO ALSO AGREE THAT BOUNDARIES ARE NOT ENTIRELY BIBLICAL!!! IM SO SO HAPPY THAT THEY AGREE!! I knew it in my Spirit!!
I'm not a Christian anymore but I find this conversation really interesting and I enjoy hearing Steffany and Will talk. They seem really genuine and honest which I really appreciate.
❤️You are loved ❤ and so very valuable ❤
May all of heaven run after you ! In Jesus name 🙏🏾❤️
once you meet Jesus you can’t turn away 🤍 He is the way the truth and the life and He loves you more than you could possibly imagine
Thanks guys. I don't see myself becoming a Christian again but I do appreciate the love. 🙂
@@shanleecaulfield7064whatever you walked away from, regardless of what it was ‘called’, was the right thing to do because it was some kind of wrong doctrinal religious system.
A true supernatural conversion experience with Jesus is the only real Christianity.
God will lead us out of the wrong thing to get us into the truth.
No one meets Jesus for real & walks away. Meeting Him for real forever dissolves the desire to walk away.
*yes we can backslide & we can even become angry with God & closed off for a time…but those are our conflicted emotional issues He wants to heal…not a departure from legitimate new creation convert salvation.
This clip has broken a year of disassociation, cognitive dissonance, proceeding from 3 years of adrenaline fueled striving. OFCOURSE IT WASN'T THIS CLIP, IT WAS HIM, BRINGING ME BACK. All the way over here in the bottom of the South Island of New Zealand. Thankyou for doing this my brother and sisters. Peace
This conversation was so powerful. I had to pause it several times just to go pray and let Jesus wreck my heart all over again. Thank you for hosting such transformational moments 🔥
We love filming these moments.
She has a beautiful soul. As someone who was deeply abused by my parents, I have to work on my heart posture with people like this because I used to have envy towards people like this. There’s a part of me that always judges people who seem to have life filled with love from others because so many of God’s people don’t have that - but if she is chosen by God then she deeply understands suffering, pain and rejection. I have to talk to God about the envy in my heart. He knows this about me. She seems like a truly beautiful person.
So good! Steffany is such a beautiful example of what it is to live in surrender to Jesus. 🙏🏾✨️💜
I love Steff she is such an example of a Godly women to me her worship is so raw and real ❤
The convictions that came from this video and so many notes I wrote that the Lord was speaking to me about. We are having communion this week with our small group and now have a different take after what she shared.
I could literally listen to y’all all day! I love my family in Christ. So needed this!!! 🫶🏽🥺🤗👏🏽
To be in the room😭
What a blessing to hear Steffany share about her walk with the Lord. Especially the last 10-15 minutes sharing honestly about her humanness as a mom of young children. So good! Just the tidbit of how the Holy Spirit talked with her about nursing her baby in the middle of the night. What a blessing to young moms if she were to write a devotional for young mothers. They would be so blessed!
“If He has everything, then He really will do anything.”
Wow… COME ON! ❤️🔥👏✨
The Lord broke through my much lamented veils and hardness of heart with so much transparency and spiritual depth from all in this conversation. Thank you all for sharing your journeys in Jesus. I am listening to this over and over and experiencing God's presence hopefully unto real Christ like transformation. I am again so grateful to you all. 8)
Hallelujah
Steffany has such a beautiful heart for Jesus! I had the privilege of attending a conference break-out session with her and Jeremy Riddle a few years ago, and the presence of the Lord just oozes out of her! Great conversation!
Steffany truly is a treasure, a gift of God for the body of Christ. Her tenderness and tears for Jesus always move me greatly, Oh God that we may know You as Steffany does. I cant imagine anything better. I'm having a hard time dying to myself, please lets pray for each other that we may be free from all other affections that turn our eyes away from Christ.
The world would be a better place if we absorbed the truth and sincere wisdom that flows from Stephanie's heart.
"And if we're not feasting, we're slowly dying"... NEEDED THAT.
“This is one of those moments where mom won’t always be with you, but the Holy Spirit will. Call on his name.. because the Holy Spirit will fill you more than mom ever could. “ WOW.
Amen Hallelujah Thank you Jesus Glory to our Heavenly Father Bless us Holy Spirit 🔥🔥🙏🙏💞🕊️🕊️👑🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Woke up @5am after hearing this message yestrerday to sit at His feet , take communion with Him “daily bread” thank you Stephanie you’re so inspiring. The anointing and pureness is so evident 🔥🔥 you’re a gem 💎
She speaks so poetically, and lives so poetically I am so touched by her love for Christ, and I resonate with everything she says. What true faith this beautiful woman has
We need more episodes! 1:43:48 she brings us all back to what worship is meant to be, out of all the lights, social media and big stages.
Steff is a Woman after God's Heart ❤️ lives it, breathes it. Praise God for her anointing that she blesses us with🙌🏽
Challenged, encouraged, convicted, and filled up. Thank you!
I love how she always cries and everyone lets her and it’s a safe space for her to be emotional and it’s ok.
So good. Tithing on your time. First fruits of your day @ 35:33 Have mercy
24hr, 2hr 40mins Amen she didn’t quite say that but this was my interpretation xx
Please, make this a series. This is absolutely soaking with oil. Please make you both a series.
I have never heard anyone like Stephani before. The first time I saw her was when she had her daughter on the stage and let her just sit there. She was so free and open in how she worshipped. Then when I searched her out on TH-cam I ran across the first interview you had. What a beautiful, spirit filled lady.
I can testify that when I watch Stephanie preach and teach and just talk, the Holy Spirit wrecks me. She is very blessed and God DEFINITELY can easily reach people through her. Her music is amazing, but even MORE so, her just speaking.
She is so incredible. So inspiring. Every word is truth. The humility she shows, the purity of her love and spirit for Jesus is just so awe-inspiring.
I loved this whole video! But the last little bit with his wife and Stephanie was the best! The questions about how to be a mom of Littles was the absolute most touching and impactful thing! I so appreciate hearing the practical as well as the imperfect parts of mothering. I’m a mom of three little ones and I just really needed to hear this❤
Thank you, Jesus! Please let me have friends again where I have the space and grace to learn about you and share testimony and where we can just be in Your presence. Jesus, please bless them more.
I love Steff! I met her in 2012 at Bethel School of Worship. What an amazing woman of God. People say I sing and am like her. I take it as a compliment.
Give us this day our daily bread. Daily! It is truly His body and blood. Catholic Church has been preaching this for over 2000 years! Glad our Protestant brothers and sisters are coming to this beautiful truth!!!
now I know why before we do the communion in the Catholic church, we pray this prayer "Lord I am not worthy to enter under your roof but only say the word and I shall be healed". it's in preparation, and act of examining ourselves before taking the the communion--the body and blood of Christ.
Watching Steffany and how authentic she is with her relationship with Jesus, gives me great hope for the younger generation and pushes me at 75 to continually pursue Him! The Precious Lamb if God! Thank you Will for having her on again! ❤
When she Speaks you can fill that she carries the presence of God her heart is intertwined with the Father's. I sure do hope we see more of her and she comes and shares more of her heart!!
Oh my heart burned during this whole conversation! The Holy Ghost was all over this conversation! To hear truth spoken and feel conviction and cry out in repentance! Thank you Holy Ghost for doing what only You do and, thank you Stephany for being the yielded vessel He has poured into! Thank you Iris Global for hosting a glory filled interview!❤❤❤ Bless you all!
Thank you Jesus, for putting Steffany on this earth in this time. I needed to hear this today...I'm still weeping...I so needed this today...kisses from Jesus. ❤
what steffany saying is 100%. and, sadly, it wasn't until my husband and i retired that we started to get even a clue. it's all about HIM. ALL about Him! soup to nuts! glory to GOD
WOW STEFFANY BLOWS MY MIND !!! KNOW THIS IS A TRUE AMD REAL CHRISTIAN!!!!
Steffany is the only podcast guest I ever take notes for, and I can't help it, like it's not a choice. Her words are anointed. Thank you.
Also loved Liz's testimony ❤
See what happens when you're obedient to God's will. God's way is so much better. His ideas are so creative & amazing. He's just incredible. Steffany Gretzinger is just a testament to his greatness. Prayer is power, never doubt the impact of prayer.
At the end when asked how she has time for the Lord when taking care of her children, I was reminded of the story and book from Brother Lawrence: The Practice of The Presence of God, who found how to live in His presence all the time while working in the kitchen of a monastary. He was a very simple man but got to have a correspondance with Mothers superiors of convents... to teach them.... and a great influence on priests and bishops. " Brother Lawrence was a man of humble beginnings who discovered the greatest secret of living in the kingdom of God here on earth. It is the art of "practicing the presence of God in one single act that does not end." He often stated that it is God who paints Himself in the depths of our soul. We must merely open our hearts to receive Him and His loving presence. For centuries this unparalleled classic has given both blessing and instruction to those who can be content with nothing less than knowing God in all His majesty and feeling His loving presence throughout each simple day."
1:03:05 I love the way that you both speak about boundaries because it’s not about “not having self control” but these boundaries that Will shares are about respect.
I feel like I’m sitting in my living room with a dear friend. I could have sat there for hours more ! ❤So much love
We need one with her and Brooke Ligertwood!!! To talk about the fear of the Lord!
Best interview ever. Love Iris global and everything you guys do. Liz is incredible and Steffany is so pure. Awesome questions, Will. Thank you so much for this!!
The unattractive potters that are beholding the string of pearls plant reminds me of the treasure we hold in our earthen clay vessels. The things that matter for life to grow are the conditions of the soil, the light, the life-giving water and oxygen, not the container of which they are in. Prophetically too, plants produce harvest and fragrant aromas, the beauty afterwards is awe-inspiring and rewarding to the planter. Fruitfulness reflected in plants that cause seeds from the harvest. Prophetic Plant-ology 101 🙌
15 minutes in and liz makes me cry 😭❤️
The episode with Liz comes out next... it blew my mind.
Thank you for sharing this! So tender and so beautiful
Whoah, cried alot with her. This conversation is so wonderful ❤❤
she inspires me to seek Jesus. Full stop. I think that’s what people hear when she speaks, she points to Jesus and the heart of the Father
Crying this whole interview, I felt the presence of God all through 😭 Father give me hunger and thrist after you
This is someone who loves Jesus and is open to his every command, May the Lord bless her and be her continuous strength such a beautiful display of passion for the Lord ❤️❤️❤️
"Everything becomes an altar... There's a lamb on the throne and all that is needed is already provided."
"When he has everything, he really will do anything."
So powerful. I'm adapting that, "There's a lamb on the throne and all that is needed is already provided."
It's such a potent reminder.
yes, it's all about being discipled by jesus. one on one. RELATIONSHIP. when i started going to church after meeting the lord in the privacy of my bedroom at age 30, instead of encouraging me in my relationship with him.. in worship, prayer, the word.. i was advised to go to church (listen to sermons) and attend discipleship classes.. where of course the focus was all on the teachers/preachers.
Thank you Jesus to leading me to this video. I have been praying to God to help me not be so emotional every time His name comes up bc it’s embarrassing to me as I’m speaking being the few that cries as I do for Him. LOL and then I’m directed here. Thank you Lord!!! Purity and Love for Jesus right here ❤ I Get it now - LOVE YOU LORD!!! So powerful - Steffany is the real deal -
It’s so nice to see someone be so excited about Jesus being the bridegroom and we are the bride and the emotional side of what you have experienced from the intimacy with Christ!
Steff will have the greatest reward in heaven with the amount of testimonies from her words & the way she lives her life. Praise God for the way she was raised & the person she has become by walking with the Holy Spirit & being open to God’s correction.
