Ep.50 The Year of Awakening Intimacy

Ep 53: Accessing the Presence of Peace ft. Alex Dorisca

In this episode, The Light Point invites reflection on the biblical foundation of true peace—a peace rooted in knowing Christ and manifesting in our daily walk. Through Alex Dorisca's story and insights, listeners are encouraged to see peace not merely as an emotion but as an outcome of intimacy with God, cultivated through intentionality and surrender. Alex shares his profound journey from childhood angelic visions to a mature understanding of God's peace, demonstrating how encountering seasons of chaos often serve as the very pathway to deeper trust and divine wholeness. The Light Point presents Alex Dorisca—a filmmaker, servant of Christ, and bearer of divine peace—to inspire believers to walk confidently in the fruit of peace that flows from a life rooted in Christ. His story and insights beckon all towards a more intimate, obedient, and peaceful walk with the Lord, calling believers to reflect Christ’s peace and be transformed into vessels of His grace. Listeners will discover the biblical roots of peace in Psalm 23, exploring how still waters and green pastures symbolize both physical and spiritual rest where God restores the soul. Alex emphasizes that peace, as a fruit of the Spirit, flourishes when we position ourselves to listen, be still, and cultivate intimacy with the Shepherd. His story of navigating the turbulence of post-graduate plans derailed by COVID highlights the importance of steadfastness, obedience, and leaning into God's presence even in the valley of shadows—an act that transforms perception and anchors the believer firmly in divine assurance. We break down practical ways to access and carry this peace into community and everyday life—through intentional Sabbath-keeping, mindful communication, and guarding the heart and mind in Christ (Philippians 4:6-7). Alex reminds believers that the peace of God surpasses understanding and guards not only our hearts but also our testimony, enabling us to be peacemakers in the storm and vessels of divine calm amid chaos.

TLP Ep. 52: Encountering Joy: How to Find Joy in God ft.Grace Feyisetan

In this episode of The Light Point, Siji Deleawe explores the biblical foundation of joy through a thoughtful conversation with Grace Layo Feyisetan—storyteller, strategist, and founder of Echo (https://www.the-echo-system.com/). Together, they reflect on how our understanding of God as Father shapes our identity, obedience, and experience of joy.Drawing from passages like Galatians 5 and Hebrews 12, the conversation distinguishes between temporary happiness and the deeper, enduring joy that Scripture describes as a fruit of the Spirit. Siji and Grace also discuss how comparison, social media, and the pursuit of success can quietly distract us from the source of true joy.Through the lens of the prodigal son and the promise of becoming children of God, this episode invites listeners to embrace humility, intimacy with Christ, and a renewed perspective rooted in God’s eternal promises. It’s a reflection on the kind of joy that grows through sanctification, perseveres through trials, and flows from life with the Father.Grace Layo Feyisetan’s BioGrace Layo Feyisetan is a follower of Jesus Christ and a lover of scripture who believes stories shape how we see God, ourselves, and the world.

Ep.50 The Year of Awakening Intimacy

Its a new Year The Light Point is back with a revived vision and a renewed focus! The Light Point Ministry is grounded in a simple but often neglected truth: intimacy with God is not optional—it is essential. Christianity was never meant to be lived at a distance. Healing does not flow from information alone, but from union. The soul is healed by the Spirit of God—not by self-improvement, not by religious effort, but by returning to Christ and dwelling with Him. We are children of the light who live by the word in Ephesians 5:13-14 Whatever the revelation-light exposes, it will also correct, and everything that reveals truth is light to the soul. This is why the Scripture says, “Awake, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will give you light.” Our souls carry wounds—formed through sin, suffering, loss, and separation. And Scripture consistently points to one solution: “Come to Me.” (Matthew 11:28) Healing happens when the wounded soul encounters the living God in intimacy. At The Light Point, our approach is simple and sacred: * The problem: Brokenness * The solution: Biblical Intimacy * The approach: Seeing, knowing, and loving God * The outcome: A life that is whole and holy for the glory of God  Our prayer for you is that according to 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 God himself will make you holy and whole, put you together—spirit, soul, and body—and keep you fit for the coming of our Master, Jesus Christ Subscribe to The Awakening [https://thelightpoint.substack.com] Follow us on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/the_light_point/] Subscribe to our YouTube Page [https://www.youtube.com/@TheLightPoint] Follow us on TikTok
