Your mom, your grandpa, somebody in your life whom you love and admire said that the Bible holds the answers to every question or problem you’d ever have. Wow. Think of it. After all, you have questions! You’ve been known to have a problem or two. It would be great if you could find the answers you’re looking for.

You crack open that Bible a couple of times but just as quickly shut it. You want to love digging into Scripture. Instead, you find it intimidating, judgmental, and maybe even unbelievable. Let’s change that.

Hi! I’m Anna Moore Bradfield, an award-winning and bestselling author, Christian speaker, and facilitator of workshops and events. I’ve been where you are. Plenty of times. I’ve questioned if God cared at all about what I was going through. Did he even have a plan for my life? When I got up the guts to tell him to his face, I found that he had very broad shoulders and that he could take anything I dished out. Then he began revealing himself to me.

In this podcast, we’ll share:
• Stories from the Bible that reveal God’s interactions with His people, confirming His desire for intimate, consistent, and loving relationships.
• Stories from everyday life that testify to God’s revelation through the Holy Spirit.
• Ways to develop a Bible study and prayer life that help us to become both open and full throttle geeked to boldly approach God’s throne.

It’s easy to miss these life-changing moments if we aren’t looking for them. But the more we look, the more we find.

As you engage with this podcast, you’ll find yourself looking to the Word with fresh eyes and a renewed desire to discover God’s plan for your life. You’ll find that the same God who led all the great characters of Scripture way back in Bible times is crazy about you, too. In fact, he’s been thinking about you all day.

I’m rooting for you! And I can’t wait to connect with you 😊.

    096 | In the Margins: Smyrna — He Has Never Done Me Wrong
    2026/06/16
    What would you say if, after 86 years of walking faithfully with God through poverty, suffering, and the constant threat of death, someone finally offered you a way out? But there's a catch: it will cost you was everything. What would it take for you to say those words — He has never done me wrong — after eight and a half decades of following Jesus through pain and pressure and the kind of quiet, grinding faithfulness that history rarely remembers? In this episode of God's Power Stories—in our series In the Margins—we're in Smyrna, which is modern-day Izmir, Turkey. This is one of the most layered, storied cities in all of human history. But before we get to the ancient streets, we have to talk about the hotel. After two solid days of travel, John and I arrive completely depleted, and what should be a simple check-in becomes something else entirely: a silent, bathrobe-clad companion in the elevator who clearly would have preferred to ride alone; a room key that blue-lights but refuses to open; another key that also fails; a man yelling from behind the very door we've been trying to enter — and a stylized number "4" that looks just convincingly enough like a "6" to send us to the wrong room entirely. Even our celebrated tour guide, Sinan—guide to such renown figures as George and Laura Bush and Madeleine Albright—could not read that room number correctly. We laugh about it now. We were not laughing then. But once we step into the city, everything shifts. Smyrna holds nearly 5,000 years of human history beneath its streets. By the time of the early church, it housed close to 100,000 people and stood as one of the greatest port cities in all of Asia Minor, rivaled only by Ephesus. It was a city deeply loyal to Rome, which made being a Christian here an act of extraordinary, daily courage. Lydians, Persians, Alexander the Great, Rome, Byzantines, Ottomans...empire after empire rose and fell over this city. And yet the church of Smyrna is still being talked about. Still being visited. Still changing people. Of the seven churches in Revelation, Smyrna is one of only two that received absolutely no correction from Jesus. No rebuke. No, "but I have this against you." Only this: I know your tribulation and your poverty...but you are rich. Like the ancient spring at the heart of the city, whose source no one has ever been able to find—water that has sustained the city for millennia, a stream that Homer supposedly sat beside while composing the Iliad and the Odyssey—there was something flowing through this church that couldn't be traced by outward measure. And then there is Polycarp. Appointed bishop of Smyrna by the Apostle John himself, who may well have been present when that letter from Revelation was first read aloud in this very city. Polycarp led that congregation for decades through suffering and the constant shadow of persecution. When the Roman authorities finally came for him as an old man, they gave him the same choice they always gave: curse Christ and live. His answer stopped me completely: For 86 years I have been his servant, and he has never done me wrong. How can I blaspheme my king who saved me? They sentenced him to death by fire. The historical account, written by his own church, states that the flames did not consume him. Instead, the witnesses smelled incense where they expected smoke. Polycarp died with a look of joy on his face. Then Jonathan Cahn taught right there in the city about the menorah, on what it means that the official seal of Israel and the symbol of the church in Revelation are the same image, on what it means for those who are born again to be, in the Spirit, children of Abraham. He said something I haven't stopped turning over: We are the light of the world. And we shine especially when it gets dark. Polycarp proved it. The church of Smyrna proved it. And maybe the thing that is pressing hardest against you right now is the very thing you were made to shine through. Key Takeaways: The church that received no correction — Smyrna is one of only two of the seven churches in Revelation that Jesus addressed without a single rebuke. Their poverty was real by every outward measure. Their wealth was hidden — and it was the wealth that actually counted.Polycarp's unshakeable testimony — At 86 years old, facing death, his answer was: He has never done me wrong. That kind of faith isn't borrowed or performed. It is built over a lifetime of faithful surrender.You were made to shine in the darkness, not in spite of it — Jonathan Cahn's teaching on the menorah reframes suffering entirely. A candle doesn't shine brightest in a well-lit room. Polycarp didn't go out when they tried to extinguish him.The hidden source — The ancient spring at the heart of Smyrna has sustained the city for millennia and no one has ever found where it begins. God's provision in our own lives so often flows from a source we cannot trace. And it keeps ...

    095 | In the Margins: God Was Already Setting the Table Before We Landed
    2026/06/09
    What if God didn't wait for the sacred sites to start showing up — what if He was already at work somewhere over the Atlantic? We're going on the trip. After everything it took to get here — the broken bones, the months of recovery, the doubt, the pain that wouldn't quit — John and I are finally in the car, heading to Chicago, and wheels are up. And God doesn't wait. In this episode of In the Margins, I share two things that happened before we ever set foot on Turkish soil — and both of them left me with the same quiet certainty: God's fingerprints are all over this trip. The first happens at our gate. We know absolutely no one else going on the Revelation Tour, and it never even crosses my mind that another traveler at our gate might be headed the same direction. And then a 6'8" man named Tim walks up and says, "You look like a couple of rednecks like us." What follows is the beginning of a friendship that — by the time this episode drops — has Tim and his wife Stacy driving five hours to spend the Fourth of July with us. Iron sharpens iron doesn't always look like a Bible study. Sometimes it looks like a middle seat on a nine-across transatlantic flight. The second happens during our descent into Istanbul. If you've flown with me before, you know about my ears — that needle-piercing pain that can leave me plugged and hurting for days after landing. As I felt it beginning to surge, I prayed. Specific, faith-filled, out-loud-in-my-heart prayer. And within ten seconds of saying amen, the pain was completely gone. It didn't return for the descent. It didn't return for the short flight to Izmir. It didn't return for the entire trip home. We hadn't even landed yet, and God had already shown up twice. I also share a prayer that my friend Lisa sent us on the way to the airport — one that shifted my whole posture for the trip from "God, what do you want to teach me?" to "God, who can I be a blessing to?" — and a handful of scriptures that have become some of my favorites about what it means to be an instrument of blessing in someone else's story. 🔑 Key Takeaways God Sets the Table Before You Even Know You're Hungry. The connections, the little miracles, the moments that feel like coincidences — they're often God's advance work. He's already preparing what you're walking into.Divine Appointments Don't Always Announce Themselves. Tim and Stacy didn't look like a God-ordained friendship. They looked like strangers at a gate. Pay attention anyway.Specific Prayer Invites Specific Answers. I didn't pray a vague "help me feel better" prayer. I prayed exactly what I needed and exactly what I believed. God answered exactly that.Iron Sharpens Iron — and God Chooses the Iron. Proverbs 27:17 isn't just a nice sentiment. God actively places people in our path to shape us. The question is whether we're paying attention when they arrive.Ask Not Only What God Will Teach You — But Who He'll Send You To. The posture of being a blessing changes everything about how you move through an experience. 🌿 Key Themes Divine Connections • God-Ordained Relationships • Iron Sharpens Iron • Proverbs 27:17 • Healing Prayer • Ear Pain Miracle • Being a Blessing • Ephesians 2:10 • Numbers 6:24-26 • God's Fingerprints • Revelation Tour Turkey Greece • Jonathan Cahn • In the Margins Series • Faith in Transit • Marriage and Travel • God Setting the Table 🤍 Who Will Benefit From This Episode Anyone who tends to look for God only in the "big" moments — and needs a reminder He's in the small ones tooBelievers who pray but wonder if God really hears the specific, personal requestsListeners who want to travel — or live — with eyes open to divine appointmentsThose who need encouragement that God goes ahead of them into new seasonsAnyone who loves seeing how friendship and faith intertwine in unexpected places We hadn't even collected our luggage yet — and God had already shown up twice. Friend, next week we step into Turkey. And what happens at our very first stop is something neither of us saw coming. Until then… keep your eyes open at the gate.

  • 094 | In the Margins: When God Says "Go" and the Enemy Says "Stop"

    094 | In the Margins: When God Says "Go" and the Enemy Says "Stop"
    2026/06/02
    What do you do when God clearly calls you to something — and then everything in your path seems determined to keep you from it? Welcome to In the Margins — a brand-new series here on God's Power Stories, and one of the most personal things I've ever shared with you. My husband John and I have just returned from a trip to Turkey and Greece — a journey following in the footsteps of the Apostle Paul and the early church alongside Jonathan Cahn and believers from around the world. It was, in every sense of the word, a trip of a lifetime. But the story I need to tell you first isn't about the ancient ruins or the sacred sites or the moments that left us breathless. It's about what happened before we ever got on that plane. On November 11, 2025, John fell from the back of his truck while working alone on our hundred-acre hunting property. He broke his tibia and his fibula — a clean break through both lower leg bones, requiring emergency surgery and a titanium rod driven from his knee to his ankle. He was alone. His phone was in the cab. It was below freezing. He passed out multiple times just trying to crawl far enough to call for help. He made it. It was a miracle. And then came the months of recovery — the physical therapy, the pain that wouldn't quit, the follow-up visits where every X-ray said remarkable but the knee still ached. All of it unfolding against a ticking clock: we had a deposit on a trip to Turkey and Greece. In six months. In this episode, John and I sit down to talk honestly about those months — his quiet resistance to Jonathan Cahn's style of teaching, the way he never once took the out I kept offering him, the two additional falls during recovery, and the slow, quiet way God used our love for each other to keep saying yes when everything else seemed to be saying stop. We also talk about what Jonathan Cahn repeated again and again throughout the trip — a phrase that landed differently in John's heart every single time he heard it: You are right where you are supposed to be. This is just the beginning. There is so much more to share about what God was doing in the margins of every scheduled moment on that trip. But first — we had to get there. 🔑 Key Takeaways The Enemy Knows What's Coming — And He'll Do Anything to Keep You From It. The barriers that nearly kept us from this trip weren't random. And recognizing spiritual opposition is the first step to refusing to let it win.Honoring Your Spouse Can Be an Act of Obedience to God. John didn't go on this trip because he was excited. He went because it mattered to me. And God used that love to move him — and both of us — forward.God Is Still In the Business of Miracles. Crawling to a truck cab, alone, below freezing, twice knocked unconscious — and making it out. There's no other explanation.You Don't Need a PowerPoint Presentation — You Need Proverbs 3:5-6. God rarely lays out the ten-step plan. He paints the vision and says trust me. Lean not on your own understanding. He will make the path straight."I'm Not Important Enough for God to Bother With" Is a Lie. John has wrestled with this his whole life. The injury, the trip, and the words of Jonathan Cahn — you're right where you're supposed to be — were God's direct answer to that lie. 🌿 Key Themes Revelation Tour Turkey and Greece • Jonathan Cahn • In the Margins Series • Spiritual Warfare • God's Calling and Waiting • Faith Through Physical Crisis • Proverbs 3:5-6 • Broken Leg Recovery • Marriage and Shared Faith • Trusting God Through Barriers • Divine Appointment • John Bradfield • Miraculous Survival • God's Timing • Messianic Judaism 🤍 Who Will Benefit From This Episode Anyone who feels called to something and keeps running into walls that seem designed to stop themCouples navigating different levels of faith enthusiasm — and what it looks like to honor each other through itBelievers who struggle to believe they're important enough for God to show up for personallyListeners who have experienced a physical crisis and are wondering what God is doing in the waitingAnyone preparing for — or dreaming about — a faith-based pilgrimage or journey God didn't wait for us to get to Turkey to start working. He was already in the margins — in the hospital room, in the physical therapy sessions, in every moment John chose not to take the easy out. Friend, wherever you are right now — in the waiting, in the recovery, in the doubt — that is where the story is already being written. Until next time… stay in the margins. That's where He meets us.
