Good morning, sisters! My mom already spoke to this in a little paragraph she added to the previous post, but I want to say that I was blown away by all the amazing testimonies of freedom that we shared! We were astounded at how they ministered to the first group of Breaking Free comments. I could not keep from praising our Savior. He is so mighty! There were several comments that addressed things I was dealing with that very day and they gave me an extra measure of faith to believe God for my victory. Thank you to everyone who shared and most of all, thank You, glorious Jesus, for setting us free!
Whew! Okay! Now for a breather! Mom and I thought it would be fun to do a Question and Answer post. We are going to open up comments for thirty minutes and see what you girls come up with. So if there’s something you want to ask, bring it on! I’m sure we won’t be able to answer every one, but I think it will still give us lots to talk about. Here’s a hint: we are hoping to give lots of shorter answers rather than a few very long ones. Okay, you’ve got thirty minutes! One, two, three, go!
TIME’S UP! Can’t wait to see what we’ve got! Watch for answers over the weekend! You guys are such a blast!
What’s the best way to show Christ’s love to an “unloveable” husband? In other words, how do you love well while still not allowing yourself to be treated poorly?
Do you guys still have a relationship with Michael?
What books are the two of you currently reading?
Being in ministry, I’ve come face-to-face with MANY challenges. I wish more people shared theirs so that I wouldn’t feel so alone in mine. Feeling like nobody else has them makes me want to throw in the towel sometimes! But I know God has called me. So…would you share one or two of your difficult challenges in ministry? Please be candid if you can. Thanks!!
If you feel like God is leading you in one direction, and a trusted friend in Christ says that the Holy Spirit tells them you should go another way, how do you tell which is right?
15 more days until there is one less (with the name) Moore. On the peace and calm meter how are the four(original) Moores faring?
Beth, I have so much respect for your honesty and openness, because I feel like I can relate to you as a “real” person whose life is not completely “all together”. My question is this: If you could live your life all over again, what is the one thing that you would do differently?
What is a normal week like for Beth? I just can’t even imagine how it all gets done!
Beth-What is your fav movie/book?
Amanda/Melissa-What is the best advice your mom ever gave you?
aaahhhh!! The pressure! Now I can’t think of one!!!
And another one…have you ever thought of doing a study on Moses? I am just super in love with Moses (Moe)right now… =)
Amanda-
When are you going to give your Mom another grandbaby? She said Tuesday night she was biting at the bit for another one.
The books you are currently reading?
Bible studies that you have done, that you highly recommend.
Your very favorite worship song.
The fragrance of cologne you wear?
Scripture that is speaking to you currently.
LOVE YA!

Thanks for the opportunity. I want to learn how to sucessfully fast. I know that the Lord is wanting this discipline in my life. I’m not young in the faith so I should be experiencing more victory. Thanks for your help. Dee
How can I recognize a “word” to me out of His Word? A personal word. . . how do I “hear” that?
Does it surprise you or do you take us girls seriously when we ask where you bought “that shirt, that jacket, those shoes” and “what make up do you use?”
My husband and I attend a church in Connecticut and we have been here for 8 years. We moved from Texas and actually I was on staff at HFBC and was Steve’s singles’ assistant! That is where Mark and I met. We miss Houston!!!!
My question is – we are without a pastor and have been for 6 months. Several ladies in our church want to start a Women’s Ministry but are getting some resistance from other women in the church that have always done things their way. How do you suggest that we proceed?

I’m 40 and never been married, never even had a serious relationship. Friends tell me I should enjoy it and accept it. I’ve prayed and prayed about it but the desire is still there to be married. How can I know for sure if God is calling me to be single all my life or if He has someone for me?
Yay!! How fun! I know how to look English words up to find their Hebrew/Greek meaning. But, how do you do a reverse lookup to find Hebrew/Greek words and learn their English meaning?
This is a great idea, by the way!! Thank you!
Love always –
Monica
Do you ever find that fellow believers have a hard time being around you or being your true friend as you receive God’s goodness, favor and blessings? If so, how does it not hurt your feelings? (I’m going through this right now)
Amanda- Seriously do you get bombarded 100 times a day with “Can your Mom come speak to…”? also, as a Mom, are you able to get your quiet time in EVERY day? What is your way of doing quiet time, journaling, reading a study or just reading the Bible?
Beth – What do you do to relax or just for fun? BTW Thank you for allowing me to not have to explain my DH’s fishing and hunting on sunday’s!
Beth: If you could give your daughters one piece of advice, what would it be?
Amanda: What is the one piece of advice from your mother that you value the most?
How do you know where the line is in being honest, vulnerable and saying too much? I am in women’s ministry and an currently dealing with how much of myself and my past am I willing to share?
How do love someone in your extended family that passive/agressivly rejects Christ and mocks your walk with him?
What were some of the ways Miss Beth used to pass on her passion for Christ in you girls? I’m desperate to have my kids love him as much or more than I do. I already see my daughter growing in her love and knowledge for Christ (she’s 8) but my son is 11 and I’m having a hard time knowing where he is in his devotion and love for Christ. I know he has accepted Christ… but I want to make sure I pass along an inheritance of passion & devotion. :o)
One more thing: Did you all listen to Christian music or common music?
Thanks.

Is there going to be a gathering for Siesta’s in Colorado Springs, if so, where and when prior to your teaching?
How does one get on the Deeper Still blog?
Are you just exhausted after Tuesday night bible study?
What advice you do have for moms of little ones to help them stay grounded in the word when all they want is alittle sleep and some adult conversation!!!!

what Bible studies besides your own 🙂 do you recommend?

amanda, do you ever plan on moving back to houston to be closer to the fam?
What words can you use to minister to someone who is dying? They are a believer but not ready to give up yet. Also – how do you speak to the family who are also believers but having an extremely hard time.
I also wonder about Michael often. I pray he is doing well and walking with the Lord.
Also, have you read the book “The Shack” by William Young? If so, what were your thoughts?
favorite lipgloss????
Ok…one shot at this….Any time I ask my child an answer about something “churchy” the answer is always…..Jesus or God!! Don’t you just love that??? So….I am going to ask you something non-churchy….
Would you ever considering writing a parenting book???
We love ya Beth!!
Tell us about Beth’s dress and the bridesmaids dresses for the wedding. Can’t wait to see some pics!
Where was “Stepping Up” filmed? It is a smaller group than usual and someone noticed the other night that the girls are sitting on metal chairs. Also we can hear them respond from time to time. Fells like we are there. We are loving it! Isn’t it funny the things we ask 🙂
i need adivse on work. I am getting lots of opportunitys, but i work with a dear friend in christ in my same dept and she has been here longer than me and is not. It is hard for me to take joy and except the promotions when she is getting passed by. Any advise for me??
I know this is heavy – I’m one of your BF posts that had an affair in the past. My husband and my God have forgiven and restored me. But I still have trouble with guilt around those who know about it. Any help?
You talk in breaking free about breaking the family chain of destruction, saying it stops here. My kids are already in their teen years and just in the past few year have I really gotten serious with God. So many of my teaching years with them are gone. How can I stop the destruction now? My oldest now mocks my walk with the Lord saying I didn’t use to be this way rebelling constantly. She sees it as weakness and has already begun a destructive road herself. How do I stop this destruction I’ve already set in motion.?
How do you define “ministry”? Do you believe God calls each of us to a ministry, even if it is just having a family? Or if we experience what we believe to be a “call to ministry”, will God ultimately fulfill it with something vocational?
How are the wedding plans coming and where is Melissa moving to? Will she still be working for LPM?
How do you balance it all? I have a teenage son, work, am very active at my church. But even after trying to be more focused (deeper instead of wider), it’s still a lot. Unfortunately, it seems like friendships fall by the wayside.
I am dating someone who loves the Lord and serves in the ministry with me but I feel isn’t entirely passionate about Him and it scares me as we are getting to the make it or break it point. I grew up with a legalistic father who talked the talk but didnt walk the walk and I dont want that in a future husband or father. He says my standards for a spiritual leader are too high and no guy is as passionate usually as girls are. But he also admits that he knows he is not as passionate as her should be or would like to be. His honesty is affirming but I don’t know. I know yall aren’t counselors and I need to trust the Holy Spirit’s leading on this…..but seeing as you are both Godly women and married, have any pre-marital advice regarding this subject??? 🙂
Beth,
I’ve heard you share in different Bible studies and in person about your struggles with fear and insecurity when you speak and other aspects of your ministry. I am so tempted to not do some of the things God has called me to do because of my fears and insecurities. I would just love to hear how God is working in your in those areas, and what you could offer to others of us who tend to want to run when God asks us to do things we’re uncomfortable with.
Thanks for being such a mentor to those of us in ministry, who need some women to look up to! I continue to be encouraged by you!
I have always wanted to do this and now I can’t think of any of the “deep ” things that I have wanted to ask!
1. What is the software that you use , Beth, that pronounces the Greek words and names etc.
2. What is your favorite place to eat out in Jackson Hole?
Why don’t you ever come to Chicago? I can’ afford to go away. I noticed that when everyone was signing in from where they were that there were few Chicagoans.
Where you enjoy going on vacation, and what you like to do?
(This may post twice as I received an error.)
Where do you guys shop? I have a 14 year old, and we struggle with clothes being modest enough vs not looking too old for her. Thanks for your precious gift to us through your ministry
Beth – First thank you for your ministry. God uses you in so many ways and your willingness to be used of Him is so inspiring. I felt God calling me to minister to women over 12 years ago. I ran for almost 10 of those years because I felt so unworthy to do it. Just in the last 2 years have I really surrendered and God has just been amazing in it all. I’ve learned so much, yet I know I have so much more to learn. I am a business woman with a lot of responsibility at work, yet I feel God pulling me to do more. I find if difficult at times to give my ministry the time I really need. I really can’t leave my job at this time and love what I do, yet my passion is to see women come to Christ and grow in his love. How did you find the balance when you first started out?
How do you answer intrusive questions about your past? I don’t want to lie when it happens to me, but I do want to not go into detail and I don’t want to be rude.
