Come Alive with Candace

Easter is more than a season of remembrance, but rather one of reflection.  We can always recall on things that have happened in the past, but do we actually take time to process the deep and personal impact it had on our lives?To truly reflect something that sincerely impressed upon us requires us to take a step further into what truly happened and how it impacts us.  This week I pray we can make the Easter story less of an event and more of an encounter - make it personal.  But that’s up to you! Part 1: Hosanna Part 2: Sacrificial ServicePart 3:  Three Predictions and a PromisePart 4: Promise FulfilledPart 5:  Pick Up YOUR CrossEXTENDED CUT (PREVIEW)EXTENDED CUT (Testimonies)Also available on YouTubeI'd love to hear your thoughts!

For many years I often wondered, why is it so important to read the Bible?  I struggled with the head to heart connection.  Over time, however, God's Word became more than just words, but life!  (Hebrews 4:12)I've often related reading the Bible to eating food (Ps. I love food!) But stay with me here. Our physical bodies need food to sustain life - correct?  Well, our spiritual bodies need the Word of God to sustain us! Jesus was often referred to as The Bread of Life and Living Water.  What better place to get your 'fill' than God's Word!Here is my "Food" for Thought from Matthew 11:25-30.Aired on KBRX 102.9 FM (3.4.26)I'd love to hear your thoughts!

In this series we will talk about running the race that is marked out for us, and that is the race of life.  Whether you actually like running or not, we are ALL embarking on a race.   And every race has a starting line.  And once you've began the race, you set your pace.  Maybe you've heard it said, “The Christian walk is a marathon, not a sprint.”  That meaning, we must set a pace, one we can maintain and persevere through the ups and downs of this life.  Because in this race, we call life, there will come a time when we turn that last corner, we are on the last leg of the race.  And then finally, comes the finish line.Focused Scripture: 2 Timothy 4:7-8Aired on KBRX 102.9 FM (9.19.25)Past Series Segment:   The Race (Part 1) - (9.15.25)   The Starting Line (Part 2) - (9.16.25)   Setting Your Pace (Part 3) - (9-17-25)   The Last Leg (Part 4) - (9-18-25) I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Yesterday we talked about Discovering Our Purpose in His Plan and learned how to establish faith in an unfair fight.  We also learned what faith is and spoiler, it’s an ACTION!   We talked about a very well-known story of an unfair fight with a shepherd boy and a giant!  But today, as we wrap up this series, we are going to touch on these two stories found in Exodus 17 & 18.  They go hand-in-hand with how we, as a body of believers can unite and grow together, especially in times of struggle. Looking to dig deeper?

Yesterday we talked about Understanding God’s Side of Our Trials and how His Discipline Enhances Our Development.  We discussed what discipline truly is and how the proper understanding of God’s discipline can actually grow us!  We learned a lot about growth and discipline through the story of Joseph!  One of my favorites!  If you missed it, just hop on over to the show notes to get caught up!Today we are taking that first step in Discovering Our Purpose in His Plan.  And how to Establish Faith in an Unfair Fight.Looking to dig deeper?

An important part of understanding God’s side of our trials is to first KNOW GOD!  I think too often when we face trials we get so consumed by the trial itself that our perspective is solely on ourselves, not on God.   A vital part of understanding God's side of our trials requires discipline.*DISCLAIMER:  We will never fully understand God nor know the details of everything we endure this side of Heaven BUT have been given glimpses to His everlasting promise:  EPHESIANS 1:8-10 “With all wisdom and understanding, He made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.”Looking to dig deeper?

Today, you will see first-hand the power that comes with believing in God’s promises. That power can be revealed through our own personal testimonies.“Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah.  For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down. They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.”  Revelation 12:10-11Testimony Breakdown:      Test. I. Mony.       Test = obstacle you face        I =  YOUR personal story or journey        Mony =  the action you tookLooking to dig deeper?

What's your attitude like when trials hit? Do you have a ‘whoa is me’ mentality? Or can you see past the trial? Throughout this study, we will transform our thinking from self to Savior. By redirecting the response of (in a whiny voice) 'But God...Why is this happening to me?' to instead convert our thinking to 'But God! I trust what You’re going to do.' The series is broken into five parts. Each part highlights  a different story where faith was established during the trials that ultimately changed the perspective to reflect God’s perfect plan.  Looking to dig deeper?

A question that I’ve been challenged by the past few years has been, ‘What is my word for the New Year?’As I began praying over the right word to meditate on, I couldn’t settle on just one. After a few days of wrestling with finding the right word, this thought clearly surfaced. Why does it need to be just one word? Why not The Word? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
