2026-02-1050 minRuth - Debbie Keever Ministries 202510. Let MeSometimes the most powerful words are the simplest ones. Two words that open doors, soften hearts, and quietly shift the focus from self to service: Let me.
In this teaching, Debbie Keever centers the conversation on Ruth’s servant heart and the posture that set her apart long before she ever knew how her story would unfold. Drawing from Ruth chapter 2, Debbie explores what it means to live with initiative, humility, and a willingness to serve—especially in seasons that feel uncertain, uncomfortable, or unseen.
Through Scripture, personal stories, and honest reflection, this message challenges list...
2026-01-2756 minRuth - Debbie Keever Ministries 20259. LabelsSome words describe us. Others try to define us. And if we are not careful, the wrong ones can quietly shape the way we see ourselves and the lives we believe we are allowed to live.
In this week’s teaching, Debbie Keever opens an honest and deeply personal conversation about labels—where they come from, why they stick, and how they influence our identity far more than we realize. Through the story of Ruth, Debbie challenges listeners to distinguish between labels that describe circumstances and the truth of who God says we are. This episode invites us t...
2026-01-2059 minRuth - Debbie Keever Ministries 20258. Treasured MomentsSome moments are meant to be remembered, not rushed.

2025-12-0952 minRuth - Debbie Keever Ministries 20257. When God SpeaksSome moments in Scripture stop us in our tracks—those passages that defy logic, stretch faith, and remind us that God’s plans are far greater than our understanding.
In this special Christmas episode, Debbie Keever invites listeners to pause amid the holiday season and look deeper into the story of Mary’s encounter with the angel Gabriel in Luke 1:26–38. Through her signature teaching style—rich in Scripture, warmth, and practical insight—Debbie helps us see how God’s Word often challenges not just our minds, but the posture of our hearts.
As we prepare to reopen the...
2025-11-2545 minRuth - Debbie Keever Ministries 20256. Seasons of ChangeSome seasons arrive gently, and others come with the force of a storm. Either way, change has a way of shaping us into who God is calling us to become.

2025-11-181h 02Ruth - Debbie Keever Ministries 20255. His RestThe world doesn’t make it easy to rest. Our minds race, our calendars fill, and our hearts carry more than they were ever meant to hold. Yet in the middle of the chaos, God still whispers an invitation: Come to Me, and I will give you rest.
In this week’s message, Debbie Keever teaches on the sacred practice of entering God’s rest—what it truly means to quiet your soul, settle your heart, and find peace that no vacation or distraction can provide. Drawing from the story of Ruth and Naomi, Debbie reminds us that tru...
2025-11-041h 00Ruth - Debbie Keever Ministries 20254. Beacon LightsSome lessons aren’t learned in calm waters—they’re learned in the current.
In this powerful teaching, Debbie Keever returns to the story of Ruth and the themes of obedience and direction, showing how God provides spiritual “beacon lights” to keep us aligned with His will. Through her own stories from life on the Chesapeake Bay, Debbie paints a vivid picture of what it looks like to stay in the center of God’s flow—and what happens when we drift toward the shallows.
This message is both deeply practical and profoundly personal, inviting listeners to d...
2025-10-281h 04Ruth - Debbie Keever Ministries 20253. CompromiseSome choices don’t look dangerous at first glance. They start small, subtle, and reasonable—until we realize how far they’ve carried us from where we intended to be.
In this week’s teaching, Debbie Keever explores the quiet but powerful danger of compromise in the life of faith. Drawing from the story of Elimelek and Naomi in Ruth 1, she reveals how small steps away from obedience can lead to seasons of spiritual famine—and how grace always provides a way back.

In this week’s message, Debbie Keever unpacks the truth that God Himself is the One who sends the rain—refreshing, restoring, and bringing growth where there once was only barrenness.

Through vivid illustrations, Scripture, and heartfelt testimony, Debbie shows how God uses...
2025-09-301h 00Ruth - Debbie Keever Ministries 20251. The Danger of DriftingDrifting never feels intentional—it happens slowly, almost without notice. One moment you’re anchored, the next you realize you’ve drifted farther than you ever thought you would.
In this week’s teaching, Debbie Keever explores the subtle yet serious danger of drifting away from God. Using the story of Lot alongside the example of Israel, she shows how easily hearts can shift when we neglect God’s Word, compromise our choices, or tether ourselves to people rather than to Christ Himself.
Through practical stories, vivid illustrations, and biblical teaching, Debbie helps us recognize the warnin...

Rooted – Debbie Keever Ministries Summer Bible Study 202511. Rooted in My TestimonyEvery story carries weight, but when it is surrendered to God, it becomes a witness that changes lives.
In this episode of the Rooted series, Debbie Keever turns our focus to the power of testimony. More than a story from the past, a testimony is evidence of God’s presence in our present and His faithfulness for the future. Through Scripture, personal reflection, and stories shared within the community, Debbie shows how testimonies strengthen not only our own faith but also the faith of those around us.
As you listen, you’ll encounter:

2025-08-261h 12Rooted – Debbie Keever Ministries Summer Bible Study 202510. Rooted in WorshipSome songs fade, but true worship never does.
In this week’s teaching, Debbie Keever leads us into the heart of worship—not just as music, but as a lifestyle of thanksgiving, praise, and surrender. Worship is more than lyrics on our lips; it is the posture of our hearts, the grounding of our faith, and the response of our lives to God’s presence and power.
Through Scripture, personal stories, and real-life examples, Debbie unpacks how worship roots us more deeply in Christ and steadies us in both joy and trial.
As you li...

Drawing a clear contrast between the unreliable assurances of people and the steadfast faithfulness of our Heavenly Father, Debbie invites us to consider what voices we’re listening to—and what truths we’re building our lives on.

2025-08-051h 13Rooted – Debbie Keever Ministries Summer Bible Study 20256. Rooted || God is AbleThere are moments in life when all we see is the obstacle in front of us. But what if the real story isn't about what stands in our way—but about who stands with us?
In this installment of the Rooted summer series, Debbie Keever invites us into a courageous, honest, and deeply moving reflection on the power of God to do “immeasurably more than we could ask or imagine.” This episode is not about lofty theology—it’s about how we live, pray, grieve, and hope in the here and now, believing that the same God who parted...
2025-07-151h 04Rooted – Debbie Keever Ministries Summer Bible Study 20255. Rooted in I AMSometimes, we don't just need direction—we need a reminder of where our story actually begins.
In this week’s episode, Debbie Keever invites us to step away from the voices that define us and step toward the voice that formed us. Rooted in the identity-shaping encounter between Moses and the burning bush, this conversation draws us back to the truth of who God is—Yahweh, I AM—and, in turn, who we are in Him.
Through powerful storytelling, biblical insight, and personal vulnerability, Debbie explores what it means to be rooted in the God who is n...

This week’s episode draws us into the rich, grounding power of the names of God—not simply as concepts to memorize, but as places to dwell when the storms of life press in. With stories that range from childhood fears to midnight battles with anxiety, Debbie Keever guides us to a truth that’s both ancient and timely: God’s name is not just a title. It’s a strong tower.

In this second episode of our Rooted summer series, Debbie Keever invites us into a deeply personal and often overlooked spiritual journey—the move from knowing about God to truly knowing Him.

2025-06-061h 17Rooted – Debbie Keever Ministries Summer Bible Study 20251. Rooted in HimSome truths are too deep to be shaken. In a world that constantly pushes, pulls, and pressures us to bend, this week’s episode offers a countercultural call: to grow deeper instead of wider, to be rooted rather than restless.
In this opening episode of our summer series Rooted In Him, Debbie Keever lays the foundation for a transformative journey of faith. Drawing from Ephesians 3 and personal stories that range from light-hearted moments to raw vulnerability, Debbie explores what it means to be truly rooted in God's love—and why it matters more than ever.
