Hey, Darling Things!
I bet I don’t have to tell you the one big thing that is on my mind this week. No weekend event on my annual calendar looms any larger in my mind than a Living Proof Live Simulcast. It stays on my radar from the time the LifeWay event team tells me it’s scheduled until the last song of the final session. At this point, I’m thinking about it every waking moment, praying, studying, and believing God to invade every single host site and every single screen. Please pray with me to that end. Only Jesus can do what we want to see done. Only Jesus can make it worth the time and effort for anyone to attend.
As I picture our “class” out there on the other side of that screen this coming Saturday, I have great comfort, joy, and even a unique peace in imagining those of you from this community who may be among them. Out of His great mercy and purpose, God fashioned my heart to love women – of all sorts of ages, sorts, denominations, backgrounds, colors, vocations – and I am graced immeasurably to get to serve a single one. You, however, are the closest community I have out in the public sector and a tremendous source of joy to me. I would love to get a general estimate of how many of you Siestas will be participating in the simulcast and the location of your participation, whether in a group or solo right in front of your computer screen. [For individual/small group registration, Lifeway can set you up here.]
I think you also might love knowing that information on one another. You may have a Siesta tuning in only 15 minutes from you and you could both sit in front of the same screen or engage and interact via text, Twitter, or Facebook. It’s a blast just to know who’s out there and exactly where and it might make some of you who are going solo feel more connected throughout the day.
SO, let’s take a roll call! And let’s give our information in this order so that the cities where we are attending will appear first:
City and State, Name, whether in a Group or going Solo, and, if with a group, Where. (Not the address, of course, especially if it’s a private location. Just the name of the church or public place or if it’s your friend’s home, just say that much.)
Mine would look like this:
Charleston, West Virginia (the host site where it will be taped live), Beth Moore, group, Charleston Civic Center.
Your turn!
After you sign in, please pray for us. Please pray for many lost women to attend and for every single one of them to be FOUND in Christ. With the Holy Spirit’s infiltration, we will give a clear presentation of the Gospel. Pray for God to also perform miraculous works of deliverance and for the entire paradigm of faith to shift for those in desperate need of Truth. Pray for every person in attendance to hear dramatically and clearly from God. PRAY BIG.
My coworkers each prayed Scripture over me Monday at our staff meeting and gave me their prayers on index cards or pieces of paper. I have each one in my notebook and I was profusely built up in my spirit and in my faith over them. Sabrina prayed out of Psalm 85 (Vv.4-13) and the words seemed so perfectly suited for our event on Saturday that I thought I’d add them into this post for your intercession. I wonder if you would agree with us in prayer that God would do exactly what these verses request and MORE!
Restore us again, O God of our salvation…revive us again,
that Your people may rejoice in You.
Show us Your steadfast love, O LORD,
and grant us Your salvation.
Let me hear what God the LORD will speak,
for He will speak peace to His people, to His saints;
but let them not turn back to folly.
Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him,
that glory may dwell in our land.
Steadfast love and faithfulness meet;
righteousness and peace kiss each other.
Faithfulness springs up from the ground,
and righteousness looks down from the sky.
Yes, the LORD will give what is good,
and our land will yield its increase.
Righteousness will go before Him
and make His footsteps a way. (ESV)
Isn’t that powerful? I think God would be so pleased for us to come around that segment of Scripture as diverse people of unified mind, turning it into prayer for His great glory to be revealed this coming Saturday.
You, Sisters, are treasures to me. My walk with Jesus would not be the same had you not come along.

Awesome conference today! best one yet….!
Is it possible I get a copy of the grace statements at the end of session one? And the 13 questions? How?
I just finished going to a local simulcast. It was fantastic. We are currently studying Grace in a ladies small group. I am writing to request a copy of the closing statements we said to each other at the end of the session. You have been so kind before to send them to me before. I am hoping you will be able to do that again. The ending statements are so great for summing up the golden nuggets of the lessons
Beth I’m so glad and blessed that Siestaville brings you joy in The Lord! I just came from a small group here in Knoxville, TN all of us were profoundly affected by Him and His grace today! Also, I wanted to let you know, the beautiful house we met at was at the end of a street called Cherish Grace Way:) I soo kid you not!:) Love you Siesta Mama Beth! The Lord is very Good to us:)!

Thanks for making this possible!!!
Just left your Living Proof Simulcast and wanted to share how blessed and freeing it is to know God’s grace more deeply. Thank the Lord for giving you this much needed lesson. I loved understanding how He is not disappointed with me because He knows my future and sees me through the blood of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Our group was especially moved by your written description of God’s Grace and would love it if you could share it in writing. Thank You for your Ministry and obedience in sharing the love & grace of God to the masses. May He bless you abundantly by knowing He will say to you, “well done my faithful servant.” Lord Bless You, Joanne Westcott
I attended the simulcast today and wanted to see if I could obtain a copy of that piece that Beth Moore wrote on Grace – awesome!!!
I had such an awesome time today and truly feel re-confirmed in Christ! I’ve been suffering from a spiritual drought and feel refreshed, renewed and awake yet again! Thank you Lord for the gift of Beth and that we are under grace, free from the law. I pray that I am free of this corpse I’ve been dragging along…NO LONGER! God bless!
I was at the Live Simulcast today and what a blessing it was. I was moved to tears several times and I knew God was working in my heart. I’ve been going through a lot lately and this message on Grace vs Law was just what I needed to hear. I have a question. During the 2nd session, I believe, Beth recited a creative writing about Grace. Is there some way to get a copy of that? It was beautiful. Thank you Beth, for all you do for the Lord Jesus Christ. We are just stating on your study on James and what a blessing. I have done many of your studies and God has greatly blessed me and my friends through them.
Had the BEST time today with you, at home, in my jammies, with my Bible, notebook and my cup of coffee! My cup overflows and there is NO DOUBT, Grace is my address here on earth! Thanks to all who made this event possible! Until next time! Muahhhh!

I was blessed to be able to view the simulcast today! What you shared with us about God not being disappointed in us was mind-blowing when you first explained it, but then I had one of those “duh” moments that of course a God who knew our every attitude and action before we were born could not possibly be caught in disappointment! What a blessed revelation to my mind and heart! Also will you share with us the quiz and your creative writing you read today? I need to hear those again and ponder them! Thanks, Sister! I love you!
Lora with Women of Worth ministriea Central Assembly of God Muskegon Michigan. By the wway..could u please post the responsive reading from the similcast today…thank you.

I just wanted to say “Yayyyyyyy!!!!” I finally get it! Grace….I am a Christian but have struggled for sooooo long trying to “uncover” the very word GRACE. I have picked that very word to death….wanting to grasp the true meaning. Today’s Simulcast was amazing and helped me understand how I have definitely been living under the”law” instead of God’s GRACE!!!! It- Grace- is EVERYTHING that encompasses our heavenly father…I feel renewed…and definitely a growth-spurt of GRACE!!! Thank-you Beth Moore for your obedience to Him. Thank-you! Deidra
Orange, Texas, 3 friends. This is late but I wanted to let you know that we loved every minute of it. Thank you Beth.
I’m late in seeing this, but watched you today from Maine, at Hope Baptist Church with many women from various churches. It was incredible and I felt such a global connection, especially during the time of worship through music. Grace. It’s a topic God has been putting before me over the past few months. Thank you for the teaching today. I hated for it to end.
Attended in a Cleveland suburb today and was so blessed. NO LONGER!!

“Who am I, Sovereign Lord, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far? Sovereign Lord, you are God! Your covenant is trustworthy, and you have promised these good things to your servant. Now be pleased to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever in your sight; for you, Sovereign Lord, have spoken, and with your blessing the house of your servant will be blessed forever.” 2 Samuel 7:18,28-29

I am so blessed to say that I attended the Simulcast live in Charleston and also was blessed to be able to volunteer there. I was so moved by it all.
I would love to get the piece on what grace is, the quiz,
the affirmations spoken in twos at the end and the scriptures and Congregational responses. Excellent stuff.
Eden Prairie, MN at Grace Church – a chapel full. Beth, I’m so grateful for your sensitivity to the Holy Spirit and for your commitment to being a student of the Word (and your communication skills). It was a great day! God bless you with rest and refreshment, spirit, soul, and body.

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

Hi everyone, I know I’m several days late on this one, but wanted to leave a message anyway. Our little group of four will be watching the Simulcast (delayed) this coming Saturday, the 21st in one of our homes. Tragically, the husband of one of our Sisters in our group was killed in an accident this past Tuesday evening. In addition to being a core member of our small church of which my husband ministers, he was our (sole) Worship Leader. I asked this Sister this morning if she wanted to still meet to watch the Simulcast. She was an absolute YES. SO…we’re looking very forward to spending this coming Saturday together in fellowship, encouragement & praising our loving Father…and celebrating the VICTORY our Brother has won because of our precious Savior. Love to all of you out there. Love the Body of Christ!
I just wanted to say thank you to Beth and her team for such a great event on Saturday and for the opportunity to attend by winning the tickets. Thanks again! Judy
I went to a local church Simulcast and cannot even express how blessed and thankful for all that was spoken into my life Saturday. If possible would love to get the scriptures spoken at the end of the day and the questions. They were very thought provoking. Thank you, Thank you Beth for all you do for us to grow in Christ Jesus. May you feel rested and refreshed very soon.
