Breaking Free Taping
Hi ladies! This is just a little reminder that the Breaking Free taping in New Orleans starts tonight! Please be praying for our Beth, the LifeWay crew, and the attendees.
Beth flew out of Houston immediately after speaking at a luncheon for pastors' wives at our church. (HFBC is hosting the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention this week.) I was fortunate to be able to attend with one of my best friends and we had such a neat time. And yesterday we got to have lunch after church with more than 100 IMB missionaries who are going to be appointed on Tuesday night. (Some of them are Siestas!) I'm going in reverse order, but that was right after an awesome worship service in which our very own Miesta, Travis Cottrell, led worship with our choir and orchestra. Do I even need to tell you how grand it was? Wow! Praise our glorious God!
It has been a really neat couple of days and that's just the beginning for Beth. I can't wait to hear and eventually see on video what God has in store for the taping this week. Thank you for praying, ladies! We are so blessed to have your support!

I am praying for Beth every day this week! God has changed my life & brought deliverance to me through her studies! I am excited just knowing HE keeps using her to bless so many women.
Love,
Dee
Praying and SO excited for what God is going to do through the taping, the missionaries and the pastor's wives lives after your wonderful couple of days!!
Praying, Praying, Praying!
And while I'm praying for your sweet Mom, I'm also praying for sweet Shelly and Abby who are coming here Thursday to lead a girls retreat for me this weekend! Praise our sweet Jesus. He is good!
And yes, Travis BROUGHT it yesterday. Simply amazing!
Praying for everyone in New Orleans AND for those of you holding down things at homebase. You all are incredible!
Hugs and prayers,
stephanie
Praying that God will bless all involved mightily and for added protection over Beth.
On a lighter note, I was a little worried when I pulled up the LPM home page and the blog link was missing! Found it - but not before a gray hair was added to my head.
Praising God for all of you -

New ORLEANS! YAYYY!
To God be the glory! i don't know what God has in store for everyone but it is bound to be something great..After all would God do anything other than great! I love Him so much! Blessings! jan
I just know Breaking Free will be awesome!
Today, I watched tape 5 of Stepping Up, and it just touched me right where I needed it most. I just sat there and cried that the verses on loneliness, dissappointment, and unity were just what I needed TODAY! I know that what she is taping will do the same for countless other women who need to feel like they are not alone out there.
I am praying for your family.
Mostly though, thank you Beth for ALL that you do to serve our Lord!
I was happily surprised to hear your very own Lisa sing at our church last Sunday. Thanks for sharing her :) She was wonderful.
Father God,
You are the Lord of All
And on Your holy and awesome Name we call
Do a mighty & amazing work at the taping of Breaking Free
Release the captives, just like You did for me
May chains fall off and captives run free
Unloose the graveclothes and allow the blind to see
Unlock any prison doors
And leave pride deflated on the floor
Praise You God, You do it for all
On those who believe and on Your Name call
Let a fresh anointing fall on Mama Beth Moore
Reveal Yourself and give treasures from Your eternal store
Once captives break free allow them to live free Lord
Be soaked in Your Spirit and seekers of Your Word
Break the yokes, loose the chains
Let nothing of the "old self" remain
Let nothing hinder the former captives from singing
As freedom and NEW life You are bringing
Christ gave up EVERYTHING so we could be free
Let each one hear this message and say "it's for me"
Out of the prisons let the captives run
We pray in the name of the Father, Spirit and Son.
Amen
Definitely praying during my scheduled hours and all throughout the day, for everything from protection and focus to great hair. Breaking Free made a huge impact on my life and I am honored to join you in prayer for this taping.
Sending Christ's love from Liverpool, NY
You better believe I'm praying!! One of my favorite siestas (AKA Jenny) is at that taping. :)
May God pour out over Beth, the team, and all attendees. Break free girls!
Father, break down walls around hearts that need to be healed. Break down lies that have been planted deep in minds, replacing those lies with Your Holy Word. Break down sin, exposing how ugly it is. Raise up an army of angels surrounding this precious group as they feast on Your Word and surrender control to You, Lord. Take control away from the enemy who comes to steal, kill and destroy. I pray for revival and renewal. I pray for lives to be strengthened in faith. I pray that each one will hear in their spirit the sound of the sharpening of a two-edged sword...Your Word...alive and active in them. You are calling us to be ready for battle and the weapon we use is Your Holy Word. Let it be so. In Jesus Name. Amen.
Amanda,
Let's see some baby bump pics, Pleeeassseee. LOL
I was praying very early this morning for your Mom and the taping and for all concerned. Have a blessed day. In Jesus'Love Kathy Knoblock
I have been praying for Beth and the taping and the sweet attendees.
I am going to see our Miesta on December 4th at his church for a Christmas concert. We cannot wait!
Much love,
Patty
Can't wait for Breaking Free!!!!!!
I consider it my privilege and honor to pray over the Breaking Free tapings. Beth, I was lifting you to the Father in prayer this morning at 9:00-- praying Ephesians 3:14-16 over you.
Breaking Free means so much to me. On the morning of September 11, 2001, I gathered up my two little girls and we trekked across town to a church I'd never stepped foot into so that I could join my first women's Bible study group. The study was Breaking Free. My life has never been the same. While terrorists attacked my nation's freedom, God was beginning His freedom work in my life. I will never forget.
In the words of the song; "My chains are gone, I've been set free. My God, My Savior has ransomed me." Sweet Jesus, thank-You!
I was almost at the taping this week, in New Orleans (but had to give away my ticket). I'm praying for everyone involved... God is so good in His timing for each and every person! I'm looking forward to seeing the videos some day soon.
In the meantime, I'm definitely praying for everyone there!
Just got home from the Breaking Free taping. God so showed up - BIG TIME! It was so awesome and it was just the introduction!! I looked around the room and was struck by two things that just moved me to tears. One, there is such a mix of women, all races, all ages, all sizes, and all reaching out to God. Two, I was set free through the first Breaking Free study. I cry with joy at the miracles and victory that will come to all those women.
And to Beth, Your hair looked great but those of us sitting in the back couldn't see your shoes!! But it was just such a joy being a part of this event that will change so many lives for generations to come.
Prayed at my appointed time this morning and off and on during the day for our sweet Mama Siesta Beth, the crew, the ladies at the taping, just everything....and through it all that our God would be pleased and Glorified!!
P.S. Warn us when you move the Blog link on the page. You scared the liver out of me!!

We prayed tonight at our Bible study for Beth and the taping sessions. I think Breaking Free was the second study our ladies did...quite a few years ago.
We just purchased the Esther study and plan to start it in January. Can't wait!
I was singing in the choir...and WOW! what an incredible two services! Man, how awesome and want that awesomeness to fill me even more, deeper.
I did go to the luncheon! I understand it was open to the public after a certain time. Oh it was so neat to hear your Mom again! What can I say...I love you all, special in my heart!
Allison
Im praying!
Amanda,
I just wanted to share a tremendous thanksgiving to others. On election day, my sister was in a terrible car accident. Our powerful, mighty, saving God protected her. I have posted her testimony on my blogs and felt I should share a link to one of my blogs so others can read her testimony. Maybe there's someone out there that needs to know our God is mighty enough to protect them in their situation. The Lord has even ministered that very thing to me just now in a situation I recently experienced! My sister's testimony is powerful and pictures of her vehicle are included. Take care! May our Lord be magnified and glorified!
Sincerely,
Karen

Awesome, amazing,and humbling. I'm sitting in my hotel room just stunned at the love of Jesus. I am here in New Orleans at the taping and I was so thrilled to see so many women just loving the Lord together.
God's presence was so apparent in that sanctuary. He has a mighty work happening among the women. A divine appointment. There is a reason for all of us being here and I'm excited about where God is leading each of us. I'm ready to drop those shackles and live completely Free!
I have been praying for your Mom, Amanda. I will continue praying throughout the week. I can't wait to hear all the good reports. :) I am so excited for y'all!
I am praying for Beth and I know she will do nothing less than a fabulous job. Can yall please pray for my friend's husband Mike Sweeney. He is fighting stage 4 metastic melanoma. He is a leader in Young Life. He has a sight on Caringbridge. Thanks.
Praying and will continue to be on my knees!
"Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen!" Ephesians 3:20-21
Love you all! Emmy : )
You can count on me to pray at my appointed time I signed up for! Did Travis sing "Jesus Saves"? I listened to that song (rather loudly!) all the way to work this morning, I love it!
I am praying. I almost got to make it to the taping, but then a conflict came up...disappointed but I know God had someone else to go in my place.
And I almost panicked when I went to the usual spot and no "blog"...glad I looked up, and there it was.
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans? I do.I was born and raised near there in Baton Rouge. If there were ever a place in the US that needs the hand of God, especially after Katrina, it is there. I pray for a great revival and praying for Beth and her ministry.
Definitely praying! God keeps bringing it to my rememberance. How precious is the Holy Spirit!
You are all in my prayers!
Blessings!
Prayers for perseverance and power during these days for Beth and all those who make the event "tick." May all who attend soak in every drop. Grace and peace, J
Melissa:
We'd love to hear from you again soon. You give great insight into God's Word. I've found myself meditating on your posts for days.
Bring it Girl!!! And don't dumb it down thinking we can't handle your incredible depth. We want what you've got!
Bless you!
I'm praying and excited as you redo Breaking Free as we are currently doing week 9 of updated "A Woman's Heart". I took it to CA while saying good bye to my brother who is loosing the battle with cancer at 48yrs old and God has been never closer to my heart as through this study. As I cried out to God this morning about my husbands battle with another cancer that God is continuing to let it simmer and not mover for 6 yrs. God has shown me in the Holy of Holies His true love, grace and mercy at this time in my life. May God continue to bless you Beth as you obediently do His Work and bless each one of us as we follow the studies. Many blessings, Tracy
Praying daily for Beth and her family. I've also been praying for a new church and Sunday School class. Went with my best friend to her church and the women's SS class was studying "Stepping Up." I was already a big fan so I was super excited and feel God has led me there. God bless you all

Praying for everyone in New Orleans! Praying for lives to be changed!
Last night, Lisa's worship time and Beth's teaching were awesome!
Thank you Franklin Avenue Baptist Church for being such wonderful hosts!
I live in Austin, but was visiting my sister in Houston this weekend. I woke up at her home Monday morning thinking of you and praying that your time in New Orleans would be so blessed!
Then I went to the window and saw that it was raining buckets. So then I worried about your hair. Then I worried even more about your hair because New Orleans isn't exactly a cure for a bad hair day. So I prayed about your hair too.
But seriously, I am currently doing "Breaking Free" and it is changing my life beyond expression. I will count it an honor and a privilege to pray for you this week!
Love,
Kristin in Austin
I am getting to go to the commissioning of some friends tonight. They are going into full time ministry in Southern Sudan. Toposafamily.blog.spot.com
I live here in New Orleans (my husband's a seminary student), and I was so blessed to be at the taping last night! God is doing BIG things in this city, and I know Beth's being here and over 1,000 women worshipping together for 6 days straight is going to only increase the spirit of revival in this place! Thank you, Beth, for coming, and thank you to all the siestas for praying! "It is for FREEDOM that He has set us free!"
Okay, you scared me Bethie...
I couldn't find the blog button on the LPM home page.
Praying for you in New Orleans.
Jan
I count it an honor to be praying for your Mom, the ladies attending the taping, the Lifeway team, and everyone involved in this process. Though I have never done Breaking Free myself, the testimonies of ransomed captives are amazing! It is one that I hope to do in the near future!!!! Please continue to give us updates as you can, especially so that we can know how to pray. Thank you, Amanda, for all that you and the LPM staff do. We love you to pieces!
I am certainly praying over Beth and the whole staff this week! Along with everyone who is there for the taping and to Break Free themselves!!
Praying and Praising God for the glorious new work He is going to do through Beth's Life Message. His story in the context of her story, how precious!
Thanks for sharing, sounds like a grand time at church. What a blessing that Beth got to speak to Pastor's wives before her time away in New Orleans. Blessings.
Little Momma, that is a lot of missionaries!! Soo good:)...You and me both, Little Momma, I am looking forward to being able to see these sessions that are being taped this week:) Breaking Free is such a huge part of Living Proof Ministries! Very relevant, to me anyway. Well praise the LORD!! God has used us to bless ya'll:):) Double smiles and ((HUGS)) to you:)
Love in CHRIST,

Praying for Beth and a fresh anointing upon her. Can't wait to see the new Breaking Free. Wish I could have been at the Pastor's wives luncheon. I am a pastor's wife but from Louisiana - not Texas. I pray for God to really show Himself to everyone attending the taping.
Beth Herring
Breaking Free is a powerful study!! I'll be in prayer all week for your mom and every woman attending.
Oh, my group is doing "Breaking Free" right now. I have never been so convicted and desired to change so much in my life. This study has opened so many doors for God to speak to me. I will be praying!
Praying!
This morning everyone at my Bible study table prayed as well. We appreciate Beth's ministry and all of you at Living Proof Ministries! You all touch hearts of so many.
Thanks for the post Amanda. One of my best friends is attending the conference at your church. She and her family are being commissioned to the Sudan. I'm sure she was so blessed to have lunch with y'all. I can't wait to ask her about the lunch. I will keep your mom and the others in my prayers. What a blessing! Love to all. Julie Reid
Hey everyone! If you ever have a question that needs to be answered, remember that the best way to do that is to use the contact page: http://www.lproof.org/NewContactUs.aspx
There's a link to it on our side bar. Thanks ladies!
So what has Melissa been up to? Also, I love the Travis Cotrell christmas CD. I was able to buy it before they put it out on the shelf! god bless! Kelly from Michigan
Praying!! :)
Father, I'm praying for focus for Beth. I'm asking You to discipline her thoughts and order her steps. I pray that her heart would just be so filled with Your Love that it would overflow on all those listening to her messages. Take captive every defeating thought and make Your thoughts her thoughts. When she speaks, may it be Your Voice speaking. Holy Spirit, how desperate we all are for Your movement in our lives. Release captives to live in the freedom of Jesus Christ. Father, break through even the most stubborn heart. I'm thanking You right now for the testimonies of faith that will come out of this event. Both now at the taping and in the future through the new version of the Bible study. You are our Reward. In Jesus Name. Amen.
Amanda: I have been praying for Beth and the taping of Breaking Free. I just know our siestas are going to have a precious time in the Lord. I can't quit thinking and praying and look foward to all God is going to do!
Twinkle and I attended the taping of "The Patriarchs" in Baltimore 4 1/2 years ago, and it was absolutely MARVELOUS! I loved every minute of it. It is a HUGE undertaking and so much work. Your mother is a master teacher!
Thank you for sharing about the missionary commissioning service - may God bless those servants in a mighty way. The Georgia Baptist Convention ended this evening as well away over here in Gawja!
I know Beth was an encouragement to those (us) Pastor's wives!
Blessings to you sweet girl -
Georgia Jan
PS: I received my leader's kit for Esther on Saturday - I have been pouring over it already. We are going to begin in January - I can't wait!
Much love again,
GA JAN
Please post when the new Breaking Free is to be released!!!! I am scheduled to teach it soon and would LOVE to get the new one!!!! You girls rock!
Will continue to pray every day about this. Please update us how it goes.
On another note, isn't it good to see God working out His plan in individual lives? I was a missionary kid (MK) and I remember being commissioned with my family. A very neat thing! My prayers are with those 100 people also!
Currently taking Breaking Free (the VHS version) Just finished session 8. The video tape has been viewed so many times now the picture skips and we watched Beth Moore like the "olden days" with 3 channels & an antenna. (the picture kept skipping)-our church is investing in the new version when released. We have said through this series with our "technical difficulties" that hair styles may change, fashion may change, technology may change-but not the message.
What a wonderful blessing your mom is! Our bible study group is starting Esther next Monday and we are all very excited. I can't wait to see what the Lord has to reveal to us!
Much thanks,
Ashley
beth! i just finished your class tonight, stepping up! I LOVE IT & YOU and all the amazing things God has put you on this earth to do.
The Journey Continues ~
Twas the eve of Veteran's Day with Lifeway in mind,
Down on my knee's the floor I did find.
Amanda requested the Siesta's to pray,
For Beth, the crew and attendees today.
The praying continues 24/7 will be,
And the taping of teachings will help us Break Free!
~ PRAYING IN CALIFORNIA ~
With "Heaven Bound" blessings,

Beth,
I want to thank your for your message tonight! You shared about a woman who had lost her husband and felt like God couldn't really do any to help her. "God could only do so much." You looked right into my face, eye to eye, and said He is enough for me. I you only knew that my stronghold is grief over the loss of my husband two years ago.
DLynn
Praying during the week as requested!!! I know God will move during the retaping because that is such an awesome Bible Study!! So many captives set FREE!!
I agree with the Siesta that mentioned moving the Blog....I likewise almost had a heart attack and I'm of the age that that is not funny!!
Could we have some updated pics of the puppies???? Probably not puppies anymore.....I know how busy you are with work and home, but I'd love to see the two of them.
Take care of yourself and those little ones....
Blessings,
Bible Bunny in NO MI
God has used Beth's Breaking Free study in a mighty way at our church. Am praying for His continued annointing on the re-taping of it.
May everyone involved be blessed mightily!
I, too, am wondering what Melissa is up to~ I miss you, your biblical insights and your wonderful recipes!
Phyllis in Maryland
I just finished "Stepping Up" and broke into tears for the glorious journey and changes that have come about in my ralationship with my great savior. I saw Beth in Minneapolis, MN this past July and I am ecstatic that she will be in Fargo this summer. I will be doing her Esther study with my group starting in January and wish it was beginning today. God is leading me to use this "off" time from the group study to begin "David 90 Days With A Heart Like His". I did "Jesus 90 days With The One and Only" this last spring, it was the most life changing study I have ever done. I have added John and David to my collection and have been waiting for God to lead me to begin my next 90 days. What an amazing journey that God leads me on and how blessed we are as women to have such a wonderful woman of God to lead us. Thank you Beth and may God bless you and all your paths on the journey to meet your savior face to face.
I Love You,
Julie
Asking God to bless her and the whole Breaking Free taping every morning at 6 a.m. God is so good and He is up to something. Lord, give us listening ears and obedient hearts. We want to honor and glorify Him in all things.
Beth,
Please know I am praying for you during your tapings this week. You are an amazing servant of our Father and I know He provides your every need. I know that you can't answer me directly, but I've pondered over this question since last Sunday night when I gave my "faith journey" talk to our small group at church. We take turns as couples introducing ourselves and then telling about our life with Jesus. Well Beth, I'm 45 and have overcome a tumultuous childhood (really raised myself) and have dealt with all that pain in counseling. I gave a generic recap of my childhood much like you do when you reference your upbringing, but then the tears began to flow. I got choked up several time. My poor husband interceded for me and would add some of our fun stories of dating. So, I just wondered why my tears still come. Have I not dealt with my past enough or is it that I so rarely talk about it, it just comes upon me when I recall it all? You do such a tremendous job of sharing your faith with such conviction and showing the blessing that have come from ashes. I want to be there to. I stay in God's word constantly and enjoy Bible study groups so much. God has blessed me beyond measure with a beautiful marriage and home (not perfect but a far cry from where I came from). I want to get to the place of where He has brough me is the focus not the tears from the brokenness. Just wondering how you manage that balance here in Atlanta. My husband keep urging me to teach God's word. Me? Not adequate by any means. Love you and I'm praying for you.
I am praying for Bethie and can't wait to hear the new Breaking Free. Hi Becham from Flannel.
Beth, my husband and I were among the large group visiting your church on Sunday morning and appointed Tuesday night. What a blessing! I thank the Lord for the ministry for which He's appointed you and your staff -- exhorting women all over the world to fall in love with His word. Our time worshipping in the Body at FBC Houston will be a memory we'll long remember.
With love and gratitude, Allison H
My husband and I went to an IMB appointment conference this past spring. I wept as I listened to each individual and couple's stories of how God had plucked them from the safe and familiar and called them overseas. God also used it to confirm His call over our lives to go. Now we wait expectantly and ready!
Amanda,
I am just catching up on my blogging favorites after a week of travel.
I just wanted to say that it was such a blessing to see you and your Mom in Houston!
I have now learned that there IS something tougher for a speaker than being the first one after lunch. It is being the first speaker after lunch when the luncheon KEYNOTE is Beth Moore!!
Seriously, FBCH is such a friendly church and was a wonderful experience!! (You can however, keep that Monday weather on your side of the Gulf!! :)
I am still praying for your Mom in NO! and the fun day seeing her new G-Daughter that will follow! There is nothing like it!!
Bless you!
I pray for Beth always. I was fortunate enough to be at the SBTC meeting and the lunch she spoke. You know, she may be little but she is mighty. I came home and told some of our church ladies I "had lunch " with Beth Moore and they nearly mobbed me. What an event! God uses her at the right place at the right time.
