Freedom from Addiction (Ep 15) - Pastor Sheila Seidl on COMPASS in the Storm (Ep 15)

Tue, 20 Oct 2026 09:00:25 +0000

(Ep 15) Today, we have the privilege of speaking with Pastor Sheila Seidl, a remarkable woman whose journey to Christ was not an easy one. Like many, she faced challenges and made difficult choices that led her down a path she never intended to take. However, through these trials, she discovered her calling to help others find healing and restoration.

Pastor Seidl has dedicated nearly three decades to leading prophetic worship, using her gift as a singer, songwriter, and musician to inspire others. Alongside her husband, Vlady, she has faithfully pastored Outreach Ministries International in Nashville, Tennessee, for over 16 years. Their ministry focuses on restoration, discipleship, and recovery, providing a safe and supportive environment for individuals seeking healing and growth.

In her latest album, “Arise in Glory,” Pastor Seidl shares her journey of faith and hope through a collection of uplifting music that encourages listeners to embrace their true selves and find strength in their faith.

She’s also the founder of the "Life's Terms" recovery program and author of the "Steps to Freedom" manual, which is utilized during her Women’s Healing Conferences.

Sheila will be the main speaker at our upcoming Winter Women’s Healing Conference, which will be held from February 26 to 28, 2027, in Orlando, Florida. This conference will be an intensive hands-on workshop where we walk step by step through nine modules of steps to freedom curriculum to let God repurpose every broken piece of our lives. It promises to be an incredible time of prayer and healing.

I’ve been to heaven! Steve Boyls' Battle for His Life & Near-Death Journey on COMPASS in the Storm (Ep13)

Tue, 01 Sep 2026 10:00:22 +0000

(Ep 13) My guests, Steve Boyls, a software engineer, and his wife, Dr. Kathy Boyls, are co-authors of the book titled, “I’ve Been to Heaven.” Steve was admitted to the ICU due to COVID-19. He endured a grueling forty-five days on a ventilator and spent three and a half months in the hospital. As his body fought valiantly to survive, his wife, Dr. Kathy Boyls, faced numerous challenges, including navigating bureaucratic hurdles, adhering to medical protocols, and spiritual warfare over the life of her husband.

But as the battle raged on earth, Steve was ushered into Heaven, where he witnessed unspeakable beauty, unimaginable joy, and overwhelming hope. He describes being reunited with old friends, family, and pets, as well as an incredible encounter with Jesus. Steve realized that Heaven is more personal and relational than he ever imagined.

Steve Boyls miraculous recovery serves as a powerful reminder that miracles do happen, and God still answers the prayer of faith.

"I Was Already Planning His Funeral” Guests, Dr, Terry & Renee Wortz on COMPASS in the Storm (Ep11)

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 10:00:27 +0000

(Ep 11) My guests today, Dr. Terry & Renee Wortz, are my long time friends from our early teen years!

Just as Terry and Renee were enjoying their retirement, Terry began exhibiting symptoms of Lewy Body Dementia. As a medical professional, he was acutely aware of the grim prognosis and excruciating progression of this debilitating disease.

Terry’s health steadily declined until the doctors informed them both that there was no more hope for his recovery. Renee had already begun planning his funeral. Terry was on "end of life" medications, and his body was starting to shut down. However, in his dying moments, he expressed his desire to live to Renee. At that moment, she immediately anointed him and prayed long and hard for God to heal him. Two days later, he was sitting up in bed, off oxygen, and eagerly asking for black coffee! God granted a miracle healing in Terry’s body! Thank you, Lord!

Terry and Renee now share their testimony of God’s love and healing wherever the Lord opens the door. They emphasis that suffering is not a punishment from God but rather an opportunity to be used by the Lord to share the love of Jesus to others.

To contact Dr. Terry Wortz to speak at your event/church or for more information please email: TerryWortz54@icloud.com

Praise to our wonderful God who is still working miracles!

Forgivess Brings True Freedom. Lana Bach, COMPASS in the Storm

Wed, 09 Sep 2026 00:37:07 +0000

Forgiving those who hurt you is not for them; it’s for you!

When we forgive, it doesn’t mean we condone their actions or that we have to relive the same cycle of abuse. However, true freedom from the control of that hurt can only be achieved by choosing to forgive them.

Forgiving is a gradual process, and you may need to repeat the words “I forgive them” numerous times before you genuinely feel liberated from the control exerted by the person who caused you immense pain.

I encourage you to seek the Lord’s assistance in taking steps to forgive those who hurt you and to release yourself from the pain associated with that incident.

Rest assured, my friend, God will be with you in this journey.

“Your life is making a difference in this world without you even knowing it!” - Lana Bach

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 08:30:00 +0000

Have you ever asked “Why is this happening to me? Why now?”

People who had the greatest influence in this world were faced with severe life challenges. Unknowingly, their response to their difficult circumstances had a profound impact the world. For some, it wasn’t until after they left this world that it became evident how their great pain turned into such great purpose. We all are dealt challenges in life. However, what you do with that card, how you play it in life…is your choice.

Either way, you are making a difference in this world without even knowing it!
