By: Teri Garnett

This podcast is dedicated to exploring discipleship through the lens of God’s Word, grounded in John 8:31-32: 'If you abide in My word, you are truly My disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.' In each episode, we delve into scripture to uncover what God says about following Christ, living out His truth, and embracing His purpose for our lives.

Why Are We Tolerating What Jesus Already Took
#44
Today at 6:00 PM

What if the sickness we’ve been tolerating… is something Jesus already took?

In this powerful episode, we confront the silent agreements many believers make with diagnoses, symptoms, and generational patterns — and we step back into what GOD actually said about healing.

Through Scripture, Holy Spirit checkpoints, and a transparent testimony of spiritual re-alignment, we explore why sickness has no legal right to stay and how to re-align our beliefs with the finished work of Christ.

This episode is not just information — it’s invitation, re-alignment, and transformation.

The Daily Exchange
#43
Yesterday at 5:00 PM

In this episode, we explore what Scripture calls the daily exchange — the biblical rhythm where we bring God our anxiety, fear, weariness, and worry, and He gives us His peace, rest, strength, and clarity in return.


We walk through the Word to understand what God commands us to release, what He provides in exchange, how Jesus modeled this pattern, and why many believers miss the fullness of it.


If prayer has ever felt incomplete or heavy, this episode will bring simple, practical clarity and encouragement for your daily walk with God.

What Meeting With God Should Produce
#42
Last Thursday at 6:00 AM

In this episode, we explore what meeting with God is meant to produce in our lives — according to Scripture, not emotion.

We look at Christlikeness in everyday life, the visible evidence of transformation, and how the Holy Spirit forms the life of Jesus in us.

And as we walk through the Word of God, we also dispel human logic, especially the idea that we grow in one fruit of the Spirit at a time. The Bible shows a better way: the Spirit transforms the whole person as we walk with Him.

What Happens When We Meet With GOD?
#41
Last Sunday at 8:00 PM

In this powerful follow-up to “Gratitude After Thanksgiving,” Teri Garnett explores a life-changing truth: time spent with God was never meant to leave us unchanged.

Drawing from Acts 4:13, this episode reveals why the Sanhedrin recognized the boldness, confidence, peace, and authority of Jesus in Peter and John — and how those same qualities become evidence in our own lives when we truly meet with God.

Through Scripture, reflection, and Holy-Spirit-led insight, Teri unpacks what it means to exchange our heaviness for His strength, our fear for His peace, and our confusion for His clarity in the secret...

The Purpose Behind the Question
#39
11/25/2025

Every journey has a beginning… and this one begins with a question that became a compass:

But What Did GOD Say?™

In this foundational episode, we explore why this question matters, how it shapes our discipleship, and why returning to God’s voice is essential for every believer who desires to walk in truth. I share how the Holy Spirit used this question to steady my heart, re-anchor my faith, and form the very heartbeat of this podcast.

You’ll discover how this space has grown into a slow and steady walk through Scriptur...


Before You Clap Back (A Holy Spirit Pause)
#38
11/25/2025

There is a moment — a small, easily missed moment —

hidden right between the offense you feel and the words you want to say. Most people rush past it. But the Holy Spirit often speaks inside it.

 

In this episode, Teri explores that sacred sliver of time —

The Holy Spirit Pause — the exact moment where God offers wisdom before we offer a reaction.

 

She draws from years of listening to people who were hurt, overlooked, dismissed, or misunderstood, and shows how those same emotional patterns show up in us today.<...

We pause with Holy-Spirit checkpoints to help us recognize where He is moving personally in our lives,
declare the truth of Scripture together,
and end with a prayer that invites His ongoing ministry into every he...


Why Stop at Salvation?
#36
11/24/2025

Salvation is a beautiful beginning… but it was never meant to be the end.

In this episode, we explore the powerful truth that many believers park at the entrance of faith without ever stepping into the fullness God invites us into.

Inspired by the mountain imagery from The Final Quest and anchored in Scripture, we walk through Holy-Spirit Checkpoints — simple, loving markers that help us see where we are on our spiritual journey:

Salvation - Sanctification - Strengthening -

Maturity - Revelation - Authority - Union with Christ.

When We Finally See Him
#33
11/19/2025

In this deep and eye-opening episode of But What Did GOD Say?™, we explore what truly transforms a life: seeing Jesus as He really is. Through the stories of Israel’s wandering and Peter’s awakening, we discover that the difference between cycles that repeat and lives that are changed comes down to one spiritual principle:

Transformation requires revelation, and revelation requires surrender.

We learn why Israel saw God’s miracles yet remained unchanged, and how one act of surrender in Peter’s weary moment opened the door to life-altering revelation. Most importantly, we lean into Jesus...


“What Stephen Shows Us About Standing Strong”
#32
11/19/2025

A follow-up to “Fortified From the Inside.”

In this follow-up to “Fortified From the Inside,” we take a closer look at someone in Scripture who lived it out with remarkable clarity — Stephen.

In this episode, we will walk through Acts 6 and 7 to discover what it means to stand strong from the inside out. Stephen wasn’t one of the original twelve apostles. He was simply a believer—faith-filled, Spirit-led, and steady at the core. Yet his life gives us one of the clearest pictures of what a fortified heart truly looks like.

Fortified from the Inside
#31
11/13/2025

What does it really mean to be strong?
In this episode of But What Did GOD Say?™, we discover that true strength isn’t built on what we can carry — it’s built on Who carries us.
