Ep 40: You Never Walk Alone
Have you ever been in a difficult season and asked, “God where are you?” Since we know that He is always with us, a better question would be “God, what are you doing here and now?” The reality is that God has promised to never leave us or forsake us. No matter what you go through — God is with…

-
Ep 37: Money & Marriage: Our Story
Jesus talks about money so much throughout the Gospels. If Jesus talks about it, how much more should we? Jesus isn’t concerned about you having money, but money having you. God wants your heart to be free, to be content, to be grateful — one of the things that can happen if we’re not careful is...

-

All of us deal with insecurity. If there’s anything else that can rob us of what God wants to do in our life is fear. Insecurity has no age limit.

Ep 30: Living Loved by God
God’s motivation for redeeming humanity was love — true, genuine, authentic love. His position towards you is love. Does that go in one ear and out the other? It should go straight to your heart, but it’s “too good to be true” for so many of us. Knowing that you are loved, not for what you do…

Ep 25: Dependency & Daily Bread
In John 6, Jesus says He’s the Bread of Life: the satisfier, sustainer, and sustenance for what we long for and live for in life.

-
Ep 24: Jesus: Liar, Lunatic, or Lord
Many people and religions acknowledge Jesus as a wise, moral, teacher, and a great guy to follow, but few acknowledge Him as God.

Ep 20: The God Who Cares
For many of us, it’s not hard to grasp that God is capable, but it’s often a journey in believing that He cares. Truly, when you think about how much the God of the universe cares for us it can almost be overwhelming. This type of love can almost be too overwhelming to comprehend. We have to go…
more -
Ep 19: The Costly Love of Jesus
