Hi brothers and sisters,
Welcome to our “Get Out with God” podcast. We are Rick and Kristine Ingraham, founders of The Viking and the Lioness Ministries, Inc. Our mission is to encourage people to “Get Out with God” in order to begin to heal, become whole and live well… spirit + soul + body.
We hope that this podcast blesses you with the Word of the Lord and serves as bite-sized encouragement as you clear the clutter, quiet the noise and draw closer in your relationship with the Lord.

In Day 12 of our 40-Day Journey with Jesus: A Lenten Reflection, we begin with Hebrews 2:14-15 NIV.
Dear brothers and sisters,
Why do we fear death? The emotions we feel when we lose someone close to us can often be driven by fear... a fear of not seeing them, a fear of the end of our life when that comes, fear of the unknown, and perhaps a questioning of our faith.
Today’s scripture is a great reminder that, not only did Jesus surrender His sinless life to the cross to save us from our sins and draw us closer to God in the present, but also to defeat Satan, who had the power of eternal death. With His death, Jesus took the weapon of death from Satan that held us captive. Jesus forever broke that bondage of fear that Satan hangs over us.
“Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.” Hebrews 2:14-15 NIV
Brothers and sisters, being in the Word helps us remember God’s promises, which are echoed from the Old Testament and on through the New. If we reflect on those promises and have faith and trust, we will find peace and not be captive to Satan’s fear tactics. Instead, we can draw closer to God, be comforted, and allow His love to reassure us. We will be renewed in faith each time we Get Out with Him, alone in the “wilderness” where we can hear Him clearly. The Words He recorded in the scriptures will begin to reframe the image on the inside of us and create the new reality of God in our lives. His peace, love and joy and will fill your spirit + soul + body to overflowing.
Join us as we unpack Hebrews 2:14-15 NIV and will be discussing how the enemy uses our fear of death to hold us captive and in bondage when he already knows that he has been defeated. We look forward to spending time with you and sharing what God has placed on our hearts.
In His precious love,
Shalom shalom (perfect peace)
