Immerse All In: Since 2018, Where It All Began With Bekah and Pastor Lisa Kai
Episode · 53 min · May 2, 2026
About this episode
Throwing it way back this episode holds a special kind of weight. This marks the very first time Bekah and Pastor Lisa came together for a podcast conversation, diving into a question many people quietly wrestle with: what does it truly mean to be all in with God? Not halfway. Not casually showing up. But living
fully immersed in faith. Through a powerful and relatable picture of jumping in headfirst despite fear, hesitation, or uncertainty, this episode challenges listeners to move beyond the edge and into full surrender. For anyone who has ever felt stuck, distracted, or unsure about taking that next step with God, this conversation offers both perspective and encouragement. Watch now you won't regret it. #AllInWithGod #FaithJourney #ChristianPodcast #TrustGod #FaithOverFear #Surrender #WalkByFaith #JesusFirst #SpiritualGrowth #FaithTalks #GodFirst #PurposeDriven #DiveIn #NoHoldingBack #KingdomLiving ___________ 0:00 - Welcome & opening prayer 1:00 - Arise 2018 intro - "You're gonna laugh, cry & have Aha God moments" 2:00 - Breaking the ice: the lady next to you really likes you 3:00 - How Arise started from a whisper God gave Lisa at Hillsong Sydney 4:00 - A prophet in Australia sends a vision for the conference 5:00 - "This is the 8th year and it feels different" - sensing something new 6:00 - The labor pains before the conference (it's giving birth energy 7:00 - Theme revealed: IMMERSED - and God already flooded the island 8:00 - What does it mean to be fully immersed?
