Oh, Minneapolis, what a fabulous group you were. I'd have brought you home to Houston if I could have...but you would not survive the heat. I praise God for you and ask that He continue to meet you right smack dab in between the rock and the hard place. I love you, Darling Things.
Beth, 12 of us went up to Minneapolis from Kansas City to hear a Word from God through your mouth. And God spoke to each of us in one way or another. We rented a 1.6 million dollar log cabin on 80 acres north of the city. It was a wonderful weekend of fellowship surrounded by women who love God. AND, my friend, Sara, had a dream come true when we bought some "SPANX" for her birthday at Bloomingdales at "the mall."
Here's my question, I've been to several conferences and would love to purchase the CDs to Oklahoma City, Sioux Falls, Colorado Springs in May and now Minneapolis. Will any of those be available for purchase? I know several of them are available on your website, but not those.
Thank you for your ministry and for being our teacher!
God Bless you! Brenda Ohmes (and I have to say this so maybe you'll remember me... the banana peel girl).
Oh Beth - You are AWESOME!!! I attended the LPL event in San Diego and God put on my heart to be involved and active. After some investigation in my church (never been in ministry there) we are the only church in So. Orange County, CA hosting your simulcast from Louisville. I am so excited. The education has been unbelievable, but the most exciting time ever. The LORD has made this event come together and it is just going to rock us here at Capo Beach Calvary. I cannot wait to see Travis and the Gang and be part of the way you demonstrate the absolutely igniting power of the LORD and what he can do in each of our lives. I love him so!! Yahoo-JAH
Hey Beth and Living Proof Team! My gals and I had a blast together and we were so blessed to hear your fresh words on "Between a Rock and a Hard Place."
I was convicted by your commentary regarding a lack of love for others and how God doesn't "steal" our love for people. That had been occuring and indeed, I have sorely misunderstood the Scriptures! My poor hubby!
Thank you, thank you! Hope Keith loves his new puppy! Anything from the mid-west has gotta be good.
Mrs Beth and the Praise Team - You all ROCK - God ROCKS! Thank you so much for coming to Mpls. My mom and sister came in from the state of VA to share the weekend. It was so special and your message was incredible. You have such a gift Beth and your so authentic. I love that you love to have fun with God!
It rocked until that night when (just as you warned) the enemy attacked. I found out that a person very dear to me and very influential doesn't share the same belief in Christ - almost 20 years of life together - NOW WHAT! I cried like there was a death in the family. I've been working with prayer warriors all weekend and have been pushing to get into the WORD! We'll see where this take us - but GOD is so good b/c if I hadn't had the message from you I wouldn't have found out about the unbelief/doubt and I wouldn't have had the heart to take the disappointment. Truly you have touched my life is such incredible ways - I hope you know how much you mean to so many people. ILY.
Five of us drove down from Duluth for the event - it was an awesome experience for each of us. We are anxious to hear more about the new puppy that was to be picked up in MN and added to the Moore home! Any photos you could share with us? Thank you Beth for your love - we all felt God's love pour out of you for us. We hope our "Minnesota reserve" didn't put you off too much. We might not be as boisterous as people in some places, but we listen closely and feel deeply! We are desperate for Jesus too. I had to wipe tears many, many times. God bless you.
OH YEAH!!! Just sends chills all over. All those sisters. Less than a month...we'll be there! Loved the t-shirt for Travis...and the pic of the lady in blue with tears on her shirt. Don't know if they're hers or someone elses, but it doesn't matter...it's touching.
Beth, my sister in Christ, I have only been able to participate in your DVD seminars, but I have been BLESSED by and the message you bring.
I pray that one day, I am able to come see you live (you were in Jax, FL not too long ago, but unfortunately, I was unable to attend). The Lord willing, He will keep you delivering His message for many years to come so that one day, I can bring my daughter.
I am also wondering if you would post the commissioning from the Minneapolis event. My girlfriend and I had a blast even though we didn't get to meet with you. She sent you an email with our cell numbers and we were just sure you'd call so we could hang out at Starbucks or the mall. But then you announced that Kieth was with you. It all made sense then. Of course you wouldn't want him to be a fourth wheel. Hope he knows how much you love him. Thanks for obeying God and delivering a powerful message that is still doing a very good work in my heart.
I wish you could've seen my 2 little mini-siestas ages 8 and 5 twirl around the room with their hands lifted high singing their lungs out with Travis while watching this video! It's precious, priceless and awesome to watch them learn from y'all and us,of course) the joy of worship! Thank you, Laura
Minneapolis was my FIFTH time to see Beth in person, thank you for coming so far from home again! This year my daughter came with me for the first time, it was her 13th birthday Saturday and she wanted to spend it at a Beth Moore conference with her mom. We have been doing a Bible study together and minutes before the conference started Fri night we were looking at Proverbs 3:11-12 together, who knew the lesson would be on discipline, and using that same refernce? God did! I can't tell you how thrilling it was to watch my girl witness God's love through scripture. Thank you Beth for your continued obedience and passion!
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, is it possible for you to post Beth's Commissioning from Minneapolis? I would LOVE a copy... it was the perfect wrap up! If you can't post it, is there any other way I can get a copy? (email?)
The whole weekend was amazing... thank you for coming to our city... we wish you'd come every year!!!
I'm so blessed to have recently participated in the LPL in Jacksonville, and I really love Beth's teaching...I wanted to share a link to a sermon I heard two Sundays ago that was SO powerful...you may or may not want to post this comment, and that's okay...I'm definitely not doing this to promote a speaker or a church--but it's really a great message:
Freedom Through Christ http://www.mychurch.org/church/media/media.php?c=48476&id=7581
Beth, My man and I drove up to Minn. from Illinois with our two girls to celebrate my oldest daughter's 13th birthday. My sister in law flew in from Ga and we attended the LPL event. It was just fabulous - what a word from God. All three sessions spoke to me in some deep places - such a timely word. That's just like our God - oh so timely!!!
I just loved everything - all of the women worshipping their hearts out, your sweet southern accent, which I treasure (I'm a southern girl from GA living in Illinois).
I would love to get the CD from the conference if it is available. It was such a great word, I'd love to be able to share it with those in my life.
The commissioning was awesome - I hope that will be available as well.
Thank you for your service to us women - we are blessed by you and all that you do out of your love for our Father!
Hope the new puppy and Queen Esther are becoming the best of friends!
Beth, With a grateful heart, thank you for coming to Minneapolis. I can't say it was easy, but it was good. My hard place? Giving up a life of bondage (fear!) to do what God's called me to do. And Praise God that He is my rock. His works are perfect and all His ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong. Upright and just is He! Deut 32:4 (and, yes, that was from memory!)
Beth--- I can not even believe that I took part in such an awesome event in Mineapolis.... God brought his word and he blessed everyone in that center with his love. I traveled with a group of forty women from our church and community. This was our second time driving from WI to see Beth Moore. We went to Detroit last year. We were blessed to see you and hear what God wanted you to share with us. Thanks for the highlights.... that was a touching song by Travis. I look forward to seeing you on the simulcast in a few weeks. P.S. How is Keith's new dog? Is it as cute as Queen Esther? God Bless! Marlene
Thank you for the word of God you gave to all of us who attended in Minneapolis... A group of about 40 women from our church traveled to MN just to see you..... This was our second time, we went to Detroit last year and look forward to seeing you in Green Bay. Thank you for the message concerning a Rock and a hard place... it definitely spoke to my soul.
God Bless... P.S. How is Keith's new puppy he got in MN... does it also have an OT name?
Beth, what an incredible weekend! Five of us ventured from way up north in Minnesota. It is amazing how God spoke to each one of us in different ways as He showed us the "spot" we were stuck in. Each of us came away so blessed. Thanks to you, Travis and the rest for such an awesome time. We're making plans for Fargo next year and will be bringing more along with us! I hope you will make the CD's of this series available. I'd like to pass the message on.
Beth, I flew from SC to attend this event with my sister who now lives in Minneapolis. This was a very special weekend for me with my sister. Not only did I hear the word of God from your lips, I attended my sister's church who's pastor is the one and only John Piper! What a awesome weekend! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Donna
My friends and I had a wonderful weekend, even meeting several bloggy Siestas. We pray you'll be back in Minneapolis again SOON! Bless you and the entire LPM team :-)
Too, what is the title of Travis' song? It really struck the heart of several ladies in our group and I'd love to pick it up! Thanks for the information!!
I was there with a friend who has had some hard questions about God. She was definitely between a rock and a hard place with God. I sat there on Saturday morning with tears streaming down my face as one by one you addressed all of the questions/issues she's had - almost as if you had heard her ask each one. It was really amazing. I know you didn't do that, God did. But it sure showed that you were hearing from Him loud and clear.
I continue to pray that she will be able to receive the message and just HANG ON to her faith, realizing that this is enough of an answer to prayer on its own, even if other requests are unanswered.
Beth- What a wonderful weekend for all of us! I truly enjoyed every second of it and was fed by His Word every moment I was there!
Siestas: please keep a local famliy in your prayers. We learned on Saturaday after the event that their 8th grade son suddenly collapsed and died. They are definitely between a rock and a hard place with God right now.
Thank you Beth for getting out of your own pit to minister with us! I always look forward to hearing His words through you. I always enjoy seeing your cute shoes too! Don't you just love women's ministery? :)
WOW! Watching the Minn. re-cap just makes me even more excited and eager to be in San Antonio in less than a month! Thank you Beth! For standing firm, for giving of yourself and for proclaiming God's word and His goodness and mercy to us all! Love you much! SHarron
Love the recaps! Just fires me up for San Antonio! I try to go to a Living Proof Live event as often as I can. There are no words to describe what an awesome time of worship and study that it is. God does so show up! Thank you Beth for being obedient to God's calling on your life. Thank you for loving us Siesta's. Love you.
I don't know what to say...God did such an awe-inspiring work there!..and PRAYER!...Beth and the women and the crew looked so radiant with the Spirit...my heart raced and tears welled up as I watched this! God is so good to us...we can't thank HIM enough...now I am crying...LORD, thankyou for Beth's healing and her ministry-for healing us all. Amen:)
So beautiful! All of it...the music, the faces, the tears. So beautiful. Especially that little girl at the end.... Thank you for letting us be a part of it even though we weren't there in Minnesota with you.
Thank you so much for coming to Mpls. We had a blast! I was there with my mother, 2 aunts and my sister in law. As I was sitting there, I was thinking how, when my mom was in her late 20's, none of her family was saved and she became saved at the age of 29-30. She prayed and prayed for another of her family to become saved. She has 5 sisters and one brother. And here I was, sitting 40 years later and do you know, all but one of her sisters are saved now! (her brother died several years ago and we are unsure where he was with the Lord) Do we serve an AWESOME GOD or what! All her children at one time made a committment to Christ also and now she is seeing her grandchildren give their lives to Christ also.
It really hit me at your conference as I sat there that we can be such a legacy to the next generations but also to our own generation!
I don't want to run on but to also just say that my mom said to me after the conference "If I didn't love Beth for her teaching, I would love her anyway because she loves dogs too!" A few years ago my mother adopted a little welsh corgi puppy and she has been a Godsend. We always had dogs growing up but I tell you, none of them were like this one! She runs the house and my mother! When my grandmother came to live with my mom a year ago, the dog decided my grandmother needed "protecting" and you can't get near her without that dog right there in your face. But she loves my mother and my mom adores her. So, she was thrilled to hear about your new puppies. Just one last story so you get the picture about this dog. My mom decided they needed to go to obedience classes. Now Misty (she is the dog) excelled in the classes (she is one smart little pup). Did everything right. but once they got home, she wouldn't follow the commands. She would give mom these looks like "That is just in class...it doesn't apply in MY House!"
The Minneapolis event was my first LPL event and did God ever speak to me. I needed a word, and He delivered. As a recent transplant from Missouri to the Minneapolis area, this past year has been one of the hardest years of my life. But God is using it - I am really beginning to see that now.
I was watching you minister to women during the "altar call break"; praying for them, hugging their necks, holding their hands. I have seen it done a million times before, but as a relatively new pastor's wife, I told God I want THAT. I want to do THAT. To leave me and my selfish worries behind and serve my sisters (and brothers!) in Christ like I never have before. It really has profoundly changed something in me; I want to live it out, pointing to His truth and glory always. So, thank you.
Thank you, Beth! It was an incredible event. I learned so much, and I gained some wonderful insight, as well as precious time to feel God's love for me. My life has been deeply enriched through your service. Thank you, Beth. Thank you, God.
I am amazed by God's handiwork as I see thousands of women spending time and money to gather together to meet with Jesus. Prepare the way Oh Lord may your bride be ready for you!
Thank you for encouraging my heart through sharing these videos!
The message this weekend gave such clarity to some things I have been going through. I think the statement that had the most impact was when you said that we have to pour it out before we can ask to be filled. That makes so much sense. I have really been feeling like God isn't listening or talking to me but how could He when I am so full of bitterness and hurt that my ears are blocked?
I am always blessed when I see one of these recaps.
I know the post for malopropisms is closed, but I was away camping with my Cub Scout Pack and just had to share this one - *When my oldest son, now 8, was about 3, he loved to watch Bear In The Big Blue House. One day the episode was about being friends and one of the characters called another a 'copy cat.' The lesson was that though it isn't kind to call names, when someone 'copies' you, it means that they want to be like you. Shortly afterward, Braeden was in the kitchen watching his Papaw, whom he absolutely adores, refilling his coffee mug and said, Can I have some? I want to be a Coffee Cat like Papaw!"
Beth, I watched the video and it made me long to have been there, and that song was incrediable,wow I know HE was there!! Also, could you fill us in on the new puppy? Seen it in several comments..... God bless
I had just come back from a whirlwind vacation the National Down Syndrome Conference out in Boston with my husband and two special needs children. We couldn't even find a christian radio station. My husband and I were both desperately needing touches from the Lord. Got a phone call from my dear sweet sister-in-law who wanted to go the LPL event. And as the Holy Spirit would have it, He had been speaking to me about going, but I didn't want to say anything. With my husbands nudging and a few phone calls later, I was off again for the 4th time to meet God at a LPL conference. I stood in line with Bethany and she asked me if I felt like God had a message for me. I responded so sincerely with "You know I feel like I am going to be disciplined mightily and I am going to just have to sit back like a little child and receive it" Well needless to say she was second guessing herself in inviting me along with her when out of Beth's mouth came the words "discipline and chastisement" Thank you for a message that needed to be said, and needed to be heard by the masses. I can't describe how it felt to be in the Lord's presence with such an amazing group of women. May we always understand that He is above all things and all things are under His control. Praise You Father for the ministry of Beth Moore and Living Proof. Love, Tami from South Dakota
Beth you will never know how much God has truly used your life until you are in glory with Him. Thank you so much for the fabulous time in Minneapolis. It never ceases to amaze me how God can speak through someone to so many different people with so many different lives and make it seem the message was just for you. I just have to share one way in which God has used you. I led a group of ladies in Living Beyond Yourself and the week before the study on patience God impressed upon my heart to share a CD I have of yours called Marriage The Priority Practice of Forgiveness. I shared it with our group and one of the ladies called me and said she didn't know why God led me to share that CD but she had gone to marriage counseling that day and had decided to divorce her husband because of something she couldn't forgive him for. She said God touched her heart when she heard the CD and has decided to stay in her marriage and work it out. I praise God that He is so good and it just blessed my heart that she shared that with me. I hope it blesses your heart to know that God is speaking through you and changing peoples lives. Thank you so much for your obedience and thank Keith for us that he allows you to share your personal life with all of us. We love you!
For a group of 8 women better know out in Minneapolis as the "Pink Ladies" (the shirts were a hit I see). From Chicago to drive out 7 hours was more then worth what God had for each of us out there. Everyone of us, different situations, different needs were able to come with expectancy and be filled by what God wanted and used Beth for. Beth, thank you for your obiedence that you allow God to use you to love on women and bring back a joy at times that can over flow to others. "It is or joy that will speak to other's", that is what you said and on Sunday service our Pastor, Dr. Angel Collazo spoke that same thing. It is our joy that will bring other's to know and accept Christ into their lives, let know steal that joy. That was conformation for me at least and know that there are those testy's and foe's as well as far's and joy's in our lives but they are all there for a reason. The saying we had on our shirts was to show that we will always need God to pour his Perfect love into our imperfect hearts. Thank you for your obidence Beth, your worship team, your setup crew, the women in volved to put these events together because I know it takes a team to put these confrences together so thank you to all of you. The love you have for women is the same love I desire to love onto women with Christ's love for them. God Bless, Cathy "Pink Ladies" from Chicago!
WOW, thank you for the beautiful recap. I went to the Colorado Springs event and was blown away by the moving of the Holy Spirit. Since then I have faced such opposition from the enemy and have been struggling finding His Presence, so watching this video reminded me of that wonderful weekend in CO and how much our Lord wants to squeeze our necks and lavish His unfailing love on us.
Mrs. Beth and staff... I'm a senior pastor's wife in NY and I traveled to Minneapolis this past weekend (12 hrs traveling Friday and 11 hours Sat) to go to LP Live with some girlfriends from the church we pastored in WI from ‘02-‘06. (Lori gave you her husband's newly published book "Saved by Angels" telling all she went through during "Believing God".) On Thursday before I left, I was leading "Living Beyond Yourself" here in NY and you were teaching us about "rear guard" and the connotation about the Lord harvesting behind us as we keep walking forward, sowing in faith. I thought immediately of these ladies I was traveling to MN to be with!!! We were each individually blessed SO MUCH!!!! I pray and pray and pray for you--- as you pour out yourself so that so many women can grow in Him through the Word, that you will be blessed in EVERY way and know abounding joy! Thank You so much! Put a pic of that new German short-haired pointer pup, too! :) katherine
OK... What's this about Keith having a new dog? What kind of dog does he have? Boy judging by the video God truly showed up in Minneapolis! Praises to our King!
Beth, here's another Minnesotan who was blessed and challenged in Minneapolis. The worship was incredible and your theme "Between a Rock and a Hard Place" was so powerful and pertinent to my life right now. I want to stay shrink-wrapped to the Rock and focus on enduring hardship for the reward "later on".
I'm so glad you have a sweet little Minnesota puppy to grow up with Queen Esther!
Oh, I love that song! Rich does such a great job. Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to the Simulcast in Decatur, AL on August 1-2 AND counting down for San Antonio!
Beth - The video looks like it was (as usual) a very inspirational experience. Through Christ you bless so many, many lives. Whenever I am feeling a little blue, i just hop into the LPM Blog and my spirits are picked up again. Cannot wait until you come back to the Atlanta area. When you were here in June, we were not. Love you so much. Blessings, Nancy
Beth and Team, I too want to thank you SO much for coming to Mpls. This was my first time hearing you live! I sincerely hope it is not my last. We are making plans to attend the Fargo LPL next August.
I had such a great time worshipping my father with you. Thank you for being willing to do what God has called you to do. I have learned so much about the bible and about who God is through your studies. You make it SO fun (okay sometimes it is hard!) to dig into the scriptures. :)
My favorite moment from LPL, Mpls was when Travis was praying and he told us to call out what God has been to us in the last week. I have chills as I remember women calling out "daddy", "comforter", "friend", "counselor", "my rock", "my strenght"...
We love you in Staples, MN!! Can't wait to start another one of your studies!
wow just looking at the faces you can tell how God was speaking at the conference. Also tell Travis he looks great in a TIE AND VEST. I don't think I've ever seen him at one of the conferences in a tie.
I also had the opportunity to be in Minneapolis last weekend. I'm a missionary in Mozambique on furlough on Louisiana but was able to fly to Minneapolis to attend LPL and visit with a precious friend who lives there. It was so meaningful for the two of us to attend together. God used you, Beth, to speak to my heart. Thank you so much.
Beth- Minneapolis was a blast! I was invited by a group of 9 ladies who ended up with an extra ticket at the last minute. I felt extremly fortunate to have been there and spent a lot of time reflecting on what God wanted me to hear. I believe that He wanted me to hear that before I can be filled up, I must empty myself--I must pour it all out to God. I haven't been doing that. Instead I have been asking Him to fill me up while hanging on to everything. I also believe that God wanted me to hear that I can't pull away from people. I have been guilty of that for so long now that it has begun to seem normal.
There was also a woman in our group who is in the midst of a huge battle with satan and she truly is in between a rock and a hard place. Your message ministered to her in a profound way this weekend. Praise God for that!
As a Dallas transplant to Minneapolis, It was phenomenal to see Beth share her Southern spirit live and in person with these gals...the message was right on the mark..Thank you Beth..and hope the new puppies are adjusting well!!
Siestas, Those of you in the San Diego area... I need your help. My son is in your area and he is in need of a church family. I'm across the country and am not familiar with the area. He is from a very small town and a close-knit church family. He will be there for the next few years and has been looking for some place close where he can attend worship services, and maybe get involved. I'm not sure how you can get the info to me but maybe someone can help out with this. Many of you are mothers and you know what a comfort this would be for me to know that he's being taken care of by brothers and sisters in Christ.
These videos always leave me aching for more...more women to fellowship with...more teaching...more learning!...just more of Jesus! Praise Him and thank you for sharing!
Have a great week!! Blessings to every one of you....
Beth & Amanda, Praying you're out of harm's way with Hurricane Dolly. I feel silly to admit that until last night, I didn't realize Texas was bordered by the ocean (thought it was all Mexico). I had always envisioned Houston to be somewhere smack in the middle of the state. I was further shocked to learn it isn't all that far from the coast. Had you on my heart and just wanted to check in...
My daughter, Amanda/event coordinator booked our flights and tickets for Vegas yesterday. This video just builds the anticipation to greater heights! Can't wait!
I am so looking forward to the San Antonio Event. I bought a few extra tickets. My intention was to take a truck load of non-believers and bring home a truck load of believers...please be in prayer with me that a couple of my seeking friends will not have any excusses and join me at the Alamo Dome in August!
May I ask what the title of this song is? And can I purchase a cd? I have listened to it about 8 times already today!!! Thank you, Travis. You have been blessed with a beautiful gift.....
WOW. What can I possibly say about this event other than "HALLELUJAH"! Beth, thank you so much for listening to God. Thank you for speaking through the power of His spirit. Thank you for bravely and genuinely speaking the truth in love.
God has blessed me beyond belief through many of your Bible studies. This event was no exception. I've really felt ready to be done with chastisement and endurance for SOME TIME NOW but your message gave me such hope. Such glorious hope to HANG ON FOR DEAR LIFE for this LITTLE WHILE.
I've been rocked back into the reality of my hard place this week. I am hanging on for dear life, sister-friend. Throwing myself in the Word more than usual this week. And I am so very thankful for the encouragement God delivered through you this weekend.
I'm praying that He continues to give you much passion for Him and His word. May He bless you like crazy!!!!
The Conference in Mpls was such a blessing! A group of 10 of us women have recently been released from bondage by the mercy and grace of God, and a study by you, Beth, was one of the first messages of truth we some of us heard, and it just blessed us beyond belief! That was why it was so sweet to be able to attend in the Target Center this past weekend; the outpouring of the Holy Spirit was something we won't forget, ever. Thank you, Beth, for your faithfulness to our Lord!
WOW..what a gathering...I never knew there were so many Christian women in Minnesota and I don't know them!God had Beth bring IT! to the Twin cities and I am so glad God uses her to speak to our hearts so well. The worship was almost more than I could handle and I felt those sweet voices going up to the heavens and I felt like the roof was going to blow. Thanks to all of the wonderful volunteers.. especially the wonderful women who believed that my ticket was lost and gave me a wristband and said "enjoy". I am so grateful to be in God's family.
BETH.....YOU HAVE, BY FAR, THE BEST PRAISE TEAM IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!
It's been a couple of years since attending a live conference, but I'm tellin ya, the presence of God and the place that worship takes us comes through the video recap straight into our homes!
Beth--thank you so much for hugging and talking to my daughter, Anna (age 10). She is shown at the end of the video. This was our second Living Proof event that we've attended together. She has been a child that I've for so long felt guilty over in that she has to bear much of the consequence for my sin. But I'm able to see how much she loves God and that she truly has a heart that seeks him. I am blessed that God has allowed me to see glimpes of how he has redeemed the both of us--we are his! Anna was a bit taken aback as we were leaving since many of the ladies were saying "hi Anna" to her and wanting to give her a hug too! She said, " I guess this is what it's like to be famous". She also said, "I wish Beth could have given you a hug too, Mom."
The girl you are hugging at the end of the video is my granddaughter. Just wanted you to know that she is in the long line of Christian women starting at least five generations ago with her great great grandmother. None of us has had it easy but with Jesus in our lives we have what we need and what it takes to shine for Him in this world. Thank you for your part in all of this. Love to all JudyW
I cant wait until Aug. 1&2. Will be with you by simulcast. I am praying for God's fresh annointing on LPL, and also for the ladies of my church that will be attending. Praise God for you Beth- you mean so much to me. I am also doing the Siesta summer bible study and loving it!
I have been meaning to comment on this post. I love seeing all my sister's in Christ worshipping God. I have been going to LPL conferences for 8 years and I am always excited to watch the video or see pictures of the different conferences! God is Good! Have a great day Siestas. Love, Patty
Oh shoot! I totally missed the Malapropism post! My husband and I are a little frightened that when we have kids, they will get tortured at school for not knowing how to speak right! We're always saying words wrong on purpose.
Sketti (Spaghetti) Maters (tomatoes), seril (cereal), winder (window), destructions (instructions, though that one's classic), yogi (yogurt), erc. I guess we like food!
A former pastor of mine used to mix up words in his sermons and not catch himself. No one but my brother and myself caught "Birth's Christ" (Christ's birth). The repeat offender, though, was his infamous "Lazareth" (for Lazaras). I think he thinks it's spelled that way! We just found thes endearing, but they did distract us sometimes because we couldn't help but laugh. Espeically on "birth's Christ"!
Thank you for the video. It allowed me to share a piece of my life with my man. I am still filled with the Spirit. Will you be posting the commissioning on the blog?
I would LOVE to live in Houston. As I get older, I am liking the heat and not as fond of the bone-chilling temps and snow. We also have family in Houston area (League City, Pearland, Wilchester neighborhood and Cold Spring). I pray that it is God's will to bring us to Texas soon.
Beth- Thank you so much for coming to Minneapolis!! It was the first time I had heard you speak in person and you are hilarious! I came with a group of women-some who had never done any of your bible studies and they all felt like you could be their close friend :). But more importantly, the presence of God was there and I learned a lot. I still have the visual in my mind of the man cutting his arm off and the flattened squirrel who couldn't make up his mind which way to go :). Hebrews 10:35-39 really spoke to me. The worship time was amazing- to be surrounded by all those women singing "In Christ Alone"- wow!
For those wondering, Travis Cottrell sings the song on the video recap and its called "2000 years".
Can't wait for the pictures of your husband's new dog!
Oh, if my goose bumps could blog! Beth, thank you for your ministry. But thank you also for whoever has the ministry of putting these recaps together and posting them. Peace, Kim Feth Apex, NC
Please someone tell me the name of this song (I know it's our man Travis)....absolutly LOVE it! This was sung this weekend during the simulcast from Louisville. And I need to get it....please help me out girls... Thanks sweet siestas!
For those still wondering, the beautiful song on the Minneapolis Recap is "2000 Years" and is on Travis Cottrell's new CD "Found". The whole CD is awesome. I have nearly worn it out already!

Thankful to be a part even though far-away
As a recent transplant from Alabama to Iowa I cannot tell you how good it was to hear that southern accent! :)
Truly - TRULY an amazing weekend for me. I desperately needed to hear from God and HE SHOWED UP in some very powerful ways for me!
The videos always bless my heart. This one is no exception.
Thanks to Rich Kalonick and the LPL Team.
Love you!

Oh, Minneapolis, what a fabulous group you were. I'd have brought you home to Houston if I could have...but you would not survive the heat. I praise God for you and ask that He continue to meet you right smack dab in between the rock and the hard place. I love you, Darling Things.
Beth, 12 of us went up to Minneapolis from Kansas City to hear a Word from God through your mouth. And God spoke to each of us in one way or another. We rented a 1.6 million dollar log cabin on 80 acres north of the city. It was a wonderful weekend of fellowship surrounded by women who love God. AND, my friend, Sara, had a dream come true when we bought some "SPANX" for her birthday at Bloomingdales at "the mall."
Here's my question, I've been to several conferences and would love to purchase the CDs to Oklahoma City, Sioux Falls, Colorado Springs in May and now Minneapolis. Will any of those be available for purchase? I know several of them are available on your website, but not those.
Thank you for your ministry and for being our teacher!
God Bless you!
Brenda Ohmes (and I have to say this so maybe you'll remember me... the banana peel girl).
Oh Beth - You are AWESOME!!!
I attended the LPL event in San Diego and God put on my heart to be involved and active. After some investigation in my church (never been in ministry there) we are the only church in So. Orange County, CA hosting your simulcast from Louisville. I am so excited. The education has been unbelievable, but the most exciting time ever. The LORD has made this event come together and it is just going to rock us here at Capo Beach Calvary. I cannot wait to see Travis and the Gang and be part of the way you demonstrate the absolutely igniting power of the LORD and what he can do in each of our lives. I love him so!!

God Bless you and you loved ones.

Beth/Amanda - I'm just wondering if you will be able to put the Minneapolis commissioning up on the blog??
Thanks!
Deanna
Hey Beth and Living Proof Team!
My gals and I had a blast together and we were so blessed to hear your fresh words on "Between a Rock and a Hard Place."
I was convicted by your commentary regarding a lack of love for others and how God doesn't "steal" our love for people. That had been occuring and indeed, I have sorely misunderstood the Scriptures! My poor hubby!
Thank you, thank you! Hope Keith loves his new puppy! Anything from the mid-west has gotta be good.
Love ya!

Mrs Beth and the Praise Team - You all ROCK - God ROCKS! Thank you so much for coming to Mpls. My mom and sister came in from the state of VA to share the weekend. It was so special and your message was incredible. You have such a gift Beth and your so authentic. I love that you love to have fun with God!
It rocked until that night when (just as you warned) the enemy attacked. I found out that a person very dear to me and very influential doesn't share the same belief in Christ - almost 20 years of life together - NOW WHAT! I cried like there was a death in the family. I've been working with prayer warriors all weekend and have been pushing to get into the WORD! We'll see where this take us - but GOD is so good b/c if I hadn't had the message from you I wouldn't have found out about the unbelief/doubt and I wouldn't have had the heart to take the disappointment. Truly you have touched my life is such incredible ways - I hope you know how much you mean to so many people.
ILY.
That video turned my heart to worship. Thank you.
Can't wait for the simulcast!
Five of us drove down from Duluth for the event - it was an awesome experience for each of us. We are anxious to hear more about the new puppy that was to be picked up in MN and added to the Moore home! Any photos you could share with us? Thank you Beth for your love - we all felt God's love pour out of you for us. We hope our "Minnesota reserve" didn't put you off too much. We might not be as boisterous as people in some places, but we listen closely and feel deeply! We are desperate for Jesus too. I had to wipe tears many, many times. God bless you.
OH YEAH!!! Just sends chills all over. All those sisters. Less than a month...we'll be there! Loved the t-shirt for Travis...and the pic of the lady in blue with tears on her shirt. Don't know if they're hers or someone elses, but it doesn't matter...it's touching.
Melana in Wyoming
Through this video recap and Travis' amazing voice you can feel the presence of His Majesty.
I am so greatful to be able to view this.
Beth, my sister in Christ, I have only been able to participate in your DVD seminars, but I have been BLESSED by and the message you bring.
I pray that one day, I am able to come see you live (you were in Jax, FL not too long ago, but unfortunately, I was unable to attend). The Lord willing, He will keep you delivering His message for many years to come so that one day, I can bring my daughter.
Blessings to all of you!
thank you for the video!
Lovely!
Can hardly wait for the simulcast!
Beth, we love you in Minnesota!
That was great; thank you for sharing it.
I am also wondering if you would post the commissioning from the Minneapolis event. My girlfriend and I had a blast even though we didn't get to meet with you. She sent you an email with our cell numbers and we were just sure you'd call so we could hang out at Starbucks or the mall. But then you announced that Kieth was with you. It all made sense then. Of course you wouldn't want him to be a fourth wheel. Hope he knows how much you love him. Thanks for obeying God and delivering a powerful message that is still doing a very good work in my heart.
Thank you SO much! That is my FAVORITE song by Travis! What a blessing!
I wish you could've seen my 2 little mini-siestas ages 8 and 5 twirl around the room with their hands lifted high singing their lungs out with Travis while watching this video! It's precious, priceless and awesome to watch them learn from y'all and us,of course) the joy of worship! Thank you, Laura
Minneapolis was my FIFTH time to see Beth in person, thank you for coming so far from home again! This year my daughter came with me for the first time, it was her 13th birthday Saturday and she wanted to spend it at a Beth Moore conference with her mom. We have been doing a Bible study together and minutes before the conference started Fri night we were looking at Proverbs 3:11-12 together, who knew the lesson would be on discipline, and using that same refernce? God did! I can't tell you how thrilling it was to watch my girl witness God's love through scripture. Thank you Beth for your continued obedience and passion!
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, is it possible for you to post Beth's Commissioning from Minneapolis? I would LOVE a copy... it was the perfect wrap up! If you can't post it, is there any other way I can get a copy? (email?)
The whole weekend was amazing... thank you for coming to our city... we wish you'd come every year!!!
I'm so blessed to have recently participated in the LPL in Jacksonville, and I really love Beth's teaching...I wanted to share a link to a sermon I heard two Sundays ago that was SO powerful...you may or may not want to post this comment, and that's okay...I'm definitely not doing this to promote a speaker or a church--but it's really a great message:
Freedom Through Christ

Beth,
My man and I drove up to Minn. from Illinois with our two girls to celebrate my oldest daughter's 13th birthday. My sister in law flew in from Ga and we attended the LPL event. It was just fabulous - what a word from God. All three sessions spoke to me in some deep places - such a timely word. That's just like our God - oh so timely!!!
I just loved everything - all of the women worshipping their hearts out, your sweet southern accent, which I treasure (I'm a southern girl from GA living in Illinois).
I would love to get the CD from the conference if it is available. It was such a great word, I'd love to be able to share it with those in my life.
The commissioning was awesome - I hope that will be available as well.
Thank you for your service to us women - we are blessed by you and all that you do out of your love for our Father!
Hope the new puppy and Queen Esther are becoming the best of friends!
Much love to y'all!
Beth,
With a grateful heart, thank you for coming to Minneapolis. I can't say it was easy, but it was good. My hard place? Giving up a life of bondage (fear!) to do what God's called me to do. And Praise God that He is my rock. His works are perfect and all His ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong. Upright and just is He! Deut 32:4 (and, yes, that was from memory!)
Bless you, Beth,
Deb
How I love these recaps! Makes me anxious for eventual return of Beth to Cincinnati...(hint, hint!)
Blessings,
Tracy = )
Beth--- I can not even believe that I took part in such an awesome event in Mineapolis.... God brought his word and he blessed everyone in that center with his love. I traveled with a group of forty women from our church and community. This was our second time driving from WI to see Beth Moore. We went to Detroit last year. We were blessed to see you and hear what God wanted you to share with us. Thanks for the highlights.... that was a touching song by Travis. I look forward to seeing you on the simulcast in a few weeks.
P.S. How is Keith's new dog? Is it as cute as Queen Esther?
God Bless!
Marlene
Thank you for the word of God you gave to all of us who attended in Minneapolis... A group of about 40 women from our church traveled to MN just to see you..... This was our second time, we went to Detroit last year and look forward to seeing you in Green Bay. Thank you for the message concerning a Rock and a hard place... it definitely spoke to my soul.
God Bless...
P.S.
How is Keith's new puppy he got in MN... does it also have an OT name?
Marlene
Beth, what an incredible weekend! Five of us ventured from way up north in Minnesota. It is amazing how God spoke to each one of us in different ways as He showed us the "spot" we were stuck in. Each of us came away so blessed. Thanks to you, Travis and the rest for such an awesome time. We're making plans for Fargo next year and will be bringing more along with us! I hope you will make the CD's of this series available. I'd like to pass the message on.
Beth, I flew from SC to attend this event with my sister who now lives in Minneapolis. This was a very special weekend for me with my sister. Not only did I hear the word of God from your lips, I attended my sister's church who's pastor is the one and only John Piper! What a awesome weekend! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Donna
What an AMAZING song: ) Thank you so much for posting the recaps. It's such a blessing to get a glimpse of each incredible weekend: )
My friends and I had a wonderful weekend, even meeting several bloggy Siestas. We pray you'll be back in Minneapolis again SOON! Bless you and the entire LPM team :-)
Too, what is the title of Travis' song? It really struck the heart of several ladies in our group and I'd love to pick it up! Thanks for the information!!
Dear Beth,
I was there with a friend who has had some hard questions about God. She was definitely between a rock and a hard place with God. I sat there on Saturday morning with tears streaming down my face as one by one you addressed all of the questions/issues she's had - almost as if you had heard her ask each one. It was really amazing. I know you didn't do that, God did. But it sure showed that you were hearing from Him loud and clear.
I continue to pray that she will be able to receive the message and just HANG ON to her faith, realizing that this is enough of an answer to prayer on its own, even if other requests are unanswered.
God bless you.
Beth, I'll be seeing you via simulcast very soon. Looking forward to the blessing.

Beth-
What a wonderful weekend for all of us! I truly enjoyed every second of it and was fed by His Word every moment I was there!
Siestas: please keep a local famliy in your prayers. We learned on Saturaday after the event that their 8th grade son suddenly collapsed and died. They are definitely between a rock and a hard place with God right now.
Thank you Beth for getting out of your own pit to minister with us! I always look forward to hearing His words through you. I always enjoy seeing your cute shoes too! Don't you just love women's ministery? :)

WOW! Watching the Minn. re-cap just makes me even more excited and eager to be in San Antonio in less than a month! Thank you Beth! For standing firm, for giving of yourself and for proclaiming God's word and His goodness and mercy to us all!
Love you much!
SHarron
Love the recaps! Just fires me up for San Antonio! I try to go to a Living Proof Live event as often as I can. There are no words to describe what an awesome time of worship and study that it is. God does so show up! Thank you Beth for being obedient to God's calling on your life. Thank you for loving us Siesta's.
Love you.
I don't know what to say...God did such an awe-inspiring work there!..and PRAYER!...Beth and the women and the crew looked so radiant with the Spirit...my heart raced and tears welled up as I watched this! God is so good to us...we can't thank HIM enough...now I am crying...LORD, thankyou for Beth's healing and her ministry-for healing us all. Amen:)

Psalm 42:1-2
So beautiful! All of it...the music, the faces, the tears. So beautiful. Especially that little girl at the end....
Thank you for letting us be a part of it even though we weren't there in Minnesota with you.
As usual, I'm overcome by the faces! It does something to me each time I see a group of women excited about hearing from Jesus!
Goodness.
Note to self...pack extra tissue for Siesta Fiesta...

Beth
Thank you so much for coming to Mpls. We had a blast! I was there with my mother, 2 aunts and my sister in law. As I was sitting there, I was thinking how, when my mom was in her late 20's, none of her family was saved and she became saved at the age of 29-30. She prayed and prayed for another of her family to become saved. She has 5 sisters and one brother. And here I was, sitting 40 years later and do you know, all but one of her sisters are saved now! (her brother died several years ago and we are unsure where he was with the Lord) Do we serve an AWESOME GOD or what! All her children at one time made a committment to Christ also and now she is seeing her grandchildren give their lives to Christ also.
It really hit me at your conference as I sat there that we can be such a legacy to the next generations but also to our own generation!
I don't want to run on but to also just say that my mom said to me after the conference "If I didn't love Beth for her teaching, I would love her anyway because she loves dogs too!" A few years ago my mother adopted a little welsh corgi puppy and she has been a Godsend. We always had dogs growing up but I tell you, none of them were like this one! She runs the house and my mother! When my grandmother came to live with my mom a year ago, the dog decided my grandmother needed "protecting" and you can't get near her without that dog right there in your face. But she loves my mother and my mom adores her. So, she was thrilled to hear about your new puppies. Just one last story so you get the picture about this dog. My mom decided they needed to go to obedience classes. Now Misty (she is the dog) excelled in the classes (she is one smart little pup). Did everything right. but once they got home, she wouldn't follow the commands. She would give mom these looks like "That is just in class...it doesn't apply in MY House!"
God Bless you Beth.

The Minneapolis event was my first LPL event and did God ever speak to me. I needed a word, and He delivered. As a recent transplant from Missouri to the Minneapolis area, this past year has been one of the hardest years of my life. But God is using it - I am really beginning to see that now.
I was watching you minister to women during the "altar call break"; praying for them, hugging their necks, holding their hands. I have seen it done a million times before, but as a relatively new pastor's wife, I told God I want THAT. I want to do THAT. To leave me and my selfish worries behind and serve my sisters (and brothers!) in Christ like I never have before. It really has profoundly changed something in me; I want to live it out, pointing to His truth and glory always. So, thank you.
You are amazing and I love you to pieces!
Thank you, Beth! It was an incredible event. I learned so much, and I gained some wonderful insight, as well as precious time to feel God's love for me. My life has been deeply enriched through your service. Thank you, Beth. Thank you, God.
I am amazed by God's handiwork as I see thousands of women spending time and money to gather together to meet with Jesus. Prepare the way Oh Lord may your bride be ready for you!
Thank you for encouraging my heart through sharing these videos!

Hi Amanda, When we try to watch the Mpls recap, it says "I'm sorry - this video no longer exists". Can it be reposted possibly? Thank you so much.
The message this weekend gave such clarity to some things I have been going through. I think the statement that had the most impact was when you said that we have to pour it out before we can ask to be filled. That makes so much sense. I have really been feeling like God isn't listening or talking to me but how could He when I am so full of bitterness and hurt that my ears are blocked?
What a blessing your ministry is.
Thanks Rich for the great job on the video. What a powerful time for all involved.
Bible Bunny in MI
Beautiful! : )
I am always blessed when I see one of these recaps.
I know the post for malopropisms is closed, but I was away camping with my Cub Scout Pack and just had to share this one -
*When my oldest son, now 8, was about 3, he loved to watch Bear In The Big Blue House. One day the episode was about being friends and one of the characters called another a 'copy cat.' The lesson was that though it isn't kind to call names, when someone 'copies' you, it means that they want to be like you. Shortly afterward, Braeden was in the kitchen watching his Papaw, whom he absolutely adores, refilling his coffee mug and said, Can I have some? I want to be a Coffee Cat like Papaw!"
Ooohhhh! So sweet it makes my teeth hurt!
Can't wait for the simulcast...We are so excited!
Amber in TN
Beth, I watched the video and it made me long to have been there, and that song was incrediable,wow I know HE was there!! Also, could you fill us in on the new puppy? Seen it in several comments.....
God bless
I had just come back from a whirlwind vacation the National Down Syndrome Conference out in Boston with my husband and two special needs children. We couldn't even find a christian radio station. My husband and I were both desperately needing touches from the Lord. Got a phone call from my dear sweet sister-in-law who wanted to go the LPL event. And as the Holy Spirit would have it, He had been speaking to me about going, but I didn't want to say anything. With my husbands nudging and a few phone calls later, I was off again for the 4th time to meet God at a LPL conference. I stood in line with Bethany and she asked me if I felt like God had a message for me. I responded so sincerely with "You know I feel like I am going to be disciplined mightily and I am going to just have to sit back like a little child and receive it" Well needless to say she was second guessing herself in inviting me along with her when out of Beth's mouth came the words "discipline and chastisement" Thank you for a message that needed to be said, and needed to be heard by the masses. I can't describe how it felt to be in the Lord's presence with such an amazing group of women. May we always understand that He is above all things and all things are under His control. Praise You Father for the ministry of Beth Moore and Living Proof. Love, Tami from South Dakota
Beth you will never know how much God has truly used your life until you are in glory with Him. Thank you so much for the fabulous time in Minneapolis. It never ceases to amaze me how God can speak through someone to so many different people with so many different lives and make it seem the message was just for you.
I just have to share one way in which God has used you. I led a group of ladies in Living Beyond Yourself and the week before the study on patience God impressed upon my heart to share a CD I have of yours called Marriage The Priority Practice of Forgiveness. I shared it with our group and one of the ladies called me and said she didn't know why God led me to share that CD but she had gone to marriage counseling that day and had decided to divorce her husband because of something she couldn't forgive him for. She said God touched her heart when she heard the CD and has decided to stay in her marriage and work it out. I praise God that He is so good and it just blessed my heart that she shared that with me. I hope it blesses your heart to know that God is speaking through you and changing peoples lives. Thank you so much for your obedience and thank Keith for us that he allows you to share your personal life with all of us. We love you!
I'm going to be at LPL in Louisville, KY in a few weeks and after watching this I just can't wait!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!
Who is the singer and song writer to the Minneapolis Video? It is so powerful... THank you...Loralie
Thanks for sharing these- it always makes me feel as if I was somehow there- minus the WORD, but you can still feel such an annointing on the video.
For a group of 8 women better know out in Minneapolis as the "Pink Ladies" (the shirts were a hit I see). From Chicago to drive out 7 hours was more then worth what God had for each of us out there. Everyone of us, different situations, different needs were able to come with expectancy and be filled by what God wanted and used Beth for. Beth, thank you for your obiedence that you allow God to use you to love on women and bring back a joy at times that can over flow to others. "It is or joy that will speak to other's", that is what you said and on Sunday service our Pastor, Dr. Angel Collazo spoke that same thing. It is our joy that will bring other's to know and accept Christ into their lives, let know steal that joy. That was conformation for me at least and know that there are those testy's and foe's as well as far's and joy's in our lives but they are all there for a reason. The saying we had on our shirts was to show that we will always need God to pour his Perfect love into our imperfect hearts. Thank you for your obidence Beth, your worship team, your setup crew, the women in volved to put these events together because I know it takes a team to put these confrences together so thank you to all of you. The love you have for women is the same love I desire to love onto women with Christ's love for them. God Bless, Cathy "Pink Ladies" from Chicago!
WOW, thank you for the beautiful recap. I went to the Colorado Springs event and was blown away by the moving of the Holy Spirit. Since then I have faced such opposition from the enemy and have been struggling finding His Presence, so watching this video reminded me of that wonderful weekend in CO and how much our Lord wants to squeeze our necks and lavish His unfailing love on us.
Mrs. Beth and staff...
I'm a senior pastor's wife in NY and I traveled to Minneapolis this past weekend (12 hrs traveling Friday and 11 hours Sat) to go to LP Live with some girlfriends from the church we pastored in WI from ‘02-‘06. (Lori gave you her husband's newly published book "Saved by Angels" telling all she went through during "Believing God".) On Thursday before I left, I was leading "Living Beyond Yourself" here in NY and you were teaching us about "rear guard" and the connotation about the Lord harvesting behind us as we keep walking forward, sowing in faith. I thought immediately of these ladies I was traveling to MN to be with!!! We were each individually blessed SO MUCH!!!! I pray and pray and pray for you--- as you pour out yourself so that so many women can grow in Him through the Word, that you will be blessed in EVERY way and know abounding joy!
Thank You so much! Put a pic of that new German short-haired pointer pup, too! :)
katherine
OK... What's this about Keith having a new dog? What kind of dog does he have? Boy judging by the video God truly showed up in Minneapolis! Praises to our King!
Love you all,
Judy
We really need a picture of the new dog... lol
Beth, here's another Minnesotan who was blessed and challenged in Minneapolis. The worship was incredible and your theme "Between a Rock and a Hard Place" was so powerful and pertinent to my life right now. I want to stay shrink-wrapped to the Rock and focus on enduring hardship for the reward "later on".
I'm so glad you have a sweet little Minnesota puppy to grow up with Queen Esther!
Blessings,
Lori
Oh, I love that song! Rich does such a great job. Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to the Simulcast in Decatur, AL on August 1-2 AND counting down for San Antonio!
Beth - The video looks like it was (as usual) a very inspirational experience. Through Christ you bless so many, many lives. Whenever I am feeling a little blue, i just hop into the LPM Blog and my spirits are picked up again.
Cannot wait until you come back to the Atlanta area. When you were here in June, we were not. Love you so much.
Blessings, Nancy
I was OK until I saw the picture of the lady in blue with the tear-stained shirt, then I was a puddle. I can't wait to get to San Antonio!
One of my favorite Travis songs. It scripts the scene of Bible times beautifully. I love when it cycles around on my IPOD while I'm running.
peace~elaine
Beth and Team, I too want to thank you SO much for coming to Mpls. This was my first time hearing you live! I sincerely hope it is not my last. We are making plans to attend the Fargo LPL next August.
I had such a great time worshipping my father with you. Thank you for being willing to do what God has called you to do. I have learned so much about the bible and about who God is through your studies. You make it SO fun (okay sometimes it is hard!) to dig into the scriptures. :)
My favorite moment from LPL, Mpls was when Travis was praying and he told us to call out what God has been to us in the last week. I have chills as I remember women calling out "daddy", "comforter", "friend", "counselor", "my rock", "my strenght"...
We love you in Staples, MN!! Can't wait to start another one of your studies!
wow just looking at the faces you can tell how God was speaking at the conference. Also tell Travis he looks great in a TIE AND VEST. I don't think I've ever seen him at one of the conferences in a tie.
I also had the opportunity to be in Minneapolis last weekend. I'm a missionary in Mozambique on furlough on Louisiana but was able to fly to Minneapolis to attend LPL and visit with a precious friend who lives there. It was so meaningful for the two of us to attend together. God used you, Beth, to speak to my heart. Thank you so much.
Beth-
Minneapolis was a blast! I was invited by a group of 9 ladies who ended up with an extra ticket at the last minute. I felt extremly fortunate to have been there and spent a lot of time reflecting on what God wanted me to hear. I believe that He wanted me to hear that before I can be filled up, I must empty myself--I must pour it all out to God. I haven't been doing that. Instead I have been asking Him to fill me up while hanging on to everything. I also believe that God wanted me to hear that I can't pull away from people. I have been guilty of that for so long now that it has begun to seem normal.
There was also a woman in our group who is in the midst of a huge battle with satan and she truly is in between a rock and a hard place. Your message ministered to her in a profound way this weekend. Praise God for that!
Kim W.
As a Dallas transplant to Minneapolis, It was phenomenal to see Beth share her Southern spirit live and in person with these gals...the message was right on the mark..Thank you Beth..and hope the new puppies are adjusting well!!
Thanks for the recap! They allow us to feel apart of each LPL event.
Thank you so much for an incredible weekend! We love you, Beth!
Siestas,
Those of you in the San Diego area... I need your help. My son is in your area and he is in need of a church family. I'm across the country and am not familiar with the area. He is from a very small town and a close-knit church family. He will be there for the next few years and has been looking for some place close where he can attend worship services, and maybe get involved. I'm not sure how you can get the info to me but maybe someone can help out with this. Many of you are mothers and you know what a comfort this would be for me to know that he's being taken care of by brothers and sisters in Christ.
These videos always leave me aching for more...more women to fellowship with...more teaching...more learning!...just more of Jesus! Praise Him and thank you for sharing!
Have a great week!! Blessings to every one of you....
Staci
Beth & Amanda,
Praying you're out of harm's way with Hurricane Dolly. I feel silly to admit that until last night, I didn't realize Texas was bordered by the ocean (thought it was all Mexico). I had always envisioned Houston to be somewhere smack in the middle of the state. I was further shocked to learn it isn't all that far from the coast.
Had you on my heart and just wanted to check in...
Blessings,
Tracy
My daughter, Amanda/event coordinator booked our flights and tickets for Vegas yesterday. This video just builds the anticipation to greater heights! Can't wait!
I am so looking forward to the San Antonio Event. I bought a few extra tickets. My intention was to take a truck load of non-believers and bring home a truck load of believers...please be in prayer with me that a couple of my seeking friends will not have any excusses and join me at the Alamo Dome in August!
May I ask what the title of this song is? And can I purchase a cd? I have listened to it about 8 times already today!!! Thank you, Travis. You have been blessed with a beautiful gift.....
WOW. What can I possibly say about this event other than "HALLELUJAH"! Beth, thank you so much for listening to God. Thank you for speaking through the power of His spirit. Thank you for bravely and genuinely speaking the truth in love.
God has blessed me beyond belief through many of your Bible studies. This event was no exception. I've really felt ready to be done with chastisement and endurance for SOME TIME NOW but your message gave me such hope. Such glorious hope to HANG ON FOR DEAR LIFE for this LITTLE WHILE.
I've been rocked back into the reality of my hard place this week. I am hanging on for dear life, sister-friend. Throwing myself in the Word more than usual this week. And I am so very thankful for the encouragement God delivered through you this weekend.
I'm praying that He continues to give you much passion for Him and His word. May He bless you like crazy!!!!

The Conference in Mpls was such a blessing!
A group of 10 of us women have recently been released from bondage by the mercy and grace of God, and a study by you, Beth, was one of the first messages of truth we some of us heard, and it just blessed us beyond belief!
That was why it was so sweet to be able to attend in the Target Center this past weekend;
the outpouring of the Holy Spirit was something we won't forget, ever.
Thank you, Beth, for your faithfulness to our Lord!
WOW..what a gathering...I never knew there were so many Christian women in Minnesota and I don't know them!God had Beth bring IT! to the Twin cities and I am so glad God uses her to speak to our hearts so well. The worship was almost more than I could handle and I felt those sweet voices going up to the heavens and I felt like the roof was going to blow. Thanks to all of the wonderful volunteers.. especially the wonderful women who believed that my ticket was lost and gave me a wristband and said "enjoy". I am so grateful to be in God's family.
BETH.....YOU HAVE, BY FAR, THE BEST PRAISE TEAM IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!
It's been a couple of years since attending a live conference, but I'm tellin ya, the presence of God and the place that worship takes us comes through the video recap straight into our homes!
I LOVE YA!
PAMABAMA
WOW! Truly inspirational!
Beth--thank you so much for hugging and talking to my daughter, Anna (age 10). She is shown at the end of the video. This was our second Living Proof event that we've attended together. She has been a child that I've for so long felt guilty over in that she has to bear much of the consequence for my sin. But I'm able to see how much she loves God and that she truly has a heart that seeks him. I am blessed that God has allowed me to see glimpes of how he has redeemed the both of us--we are his! Anna was a bit taken aback as we were leaving since many of the ladies were saying "hi Anna" to her and wanting to give her a hug too! She said, " I guess this is what it's like to be famous". She also said, "I wish Beth could have given you a hug too, Mom."
The girl you are hugging at the end of the video is my granddaughter. Just wanted you to know that she is in the long line of Christian women starting at least five generations ago with her great great grandmother. None of us has had it easy but with Jesus in our lives we have what we need and what it takes to shine for Him in this world. Thank you for your part in all of this. Love to all JudyW
I do not know where to post this, but Beth, you are a local Christain Rock Star, according to the Houston Chronicle.
Congrats!!!

I cant wait until Aug. 1&2. Will be with you by simulcast. I am praying for God's fresh annointing on LPL, and also for the ladies of my church that will be attending. Praise God for you Beth- you mean so much to me.
I am also doing the Siesta summer bible study and loving it!
I have been meaning to comment on this post. I love seeing all my sister's in Christ worshipping God.
I have been going to LPL conferences for 8 years and I am always excited to watch the video or see pictures of the different conferences!
God is Good!
Have a great day Siestas.
Love,
Patty
Amazing song to lead my heart into worshipping my Beloved.
Does anyone know the title of this song by Travis?
Oh shoot! I totally missed the Malapropism post! My husband and I are a little frightened that when we have kids, they will get tortured at school for not knowing how to speak right! We're always saying words wrong on purpose.
Sketti (Spaghetti) Maters (tomatoes), seril (cereal), winder (window), destructions (instructions, though that one's classic), yogi (yogurt), erc. I guess we like food!
A former pastor of mine used to mix up words in his sermons and not catch himself. No one but my brother and myself caught "Birth's Christ" (Christ's birth). The repeat offender, though, was his infamous "Lazareth" (for Lazaras). I think he thinks it's spelled that way! We just found thes endearing, but they did distract us sometimes because we couldn't help but laugh. Espeically on "birth's Christ"!
Great recap!
I'm going to be at LPL in Louisville and I just can't wait@@
Thank you for the video. It allowed me to share a piece of my life with my man. I am still filled with the Spirit. Will you be posting the commissioning on the blog?
I would LOVE to live in Houston. As I get older, I am liking the heat and not as fond of the bone-chilling temps and snow. We also have family in Houston area (League City, Pearland, Wilchester neighborhood and Cold Spring). I pray that it is God's will to bring us to Texas soon.
Namaste,
Mary Ann
Beth- Thank you so much for coming to Minneapolis!! It was the first time I had heard you speak in person and you are hilarious! I came with a group of women-some who had never done any of your bible studies and they all felt like you could be their close friend :).
But more importantly, the presence of God was there and I learned a lot. I still have the visual in my mind of the man cutting his arm off and the flattened squirrel who couldn't make up his mind which way to go :). Hebrews 10:35-39 really spoke to me. The worship time was amazing- to be surrounded by all those women singing "In Christ Alone"- wow!
For those wondering, Travis Cottrell sings the song on the video recap and its called "2000 years".
Can't wait for the pictures of your husband's new dog!
Oh, if my goose bumps could blog! Beth, thank you for your ministry. But thank you also for whoever has the ministry of putting these recaps together and posting them.
Peace,

Thank you for reminding me of a great weekend with my mother in law. God definitely showed up and did wonderful work in my life.
Please someone tell me the name of this song (I know it's our man Travis)....absolutly LOVE it! This was sung this weekend during the simulcast from Louisville. And I need to get it....please help me out girls...
Thanks sweet siestas!
For those still wondering, the beautiful song on the Minneapolis Recap is "2000 Years" and is on Travis Cottrell's new CD "Found". The whole CD is awesome. I have nearly worn it out already!
