June 08, 2020 12:48 - 12 minutes - 10.4 MB

Sometimes we get exactly what we want, but most often, we don’t. Typically our wants and wishes are met with a reality that seemingly falls short and we’re left with the offering of disappointment.

613 But God …

June 05, 2020 12:57 - 16 minutes - 13.4 MB

God is fully satisfied with who he created you to be. He’s proud of how he formed you and equipped you. Oh what pride he poured into the details of YOU. Every thing with purpose for a purpose. From the color of your skin to the color of your eyes and the special shape of […]

612 Poor In Spirit

June 04, 2020 12:55 - 15 minutes - 12.7 MB

Jesus said we are blessed when we are poor in spirit. Well what does that mean because quite honestly it doesn’t sound very appealing. Let’s face it, nobody likes being poor in anything.

611 Impatience, Fear & Impulsiveness

June 03, 2020 12:58 - 16 minutes - 13.2 MB

God uses screwed up people to do some of his best work. He uses those who have walked a few miles on the wrong path, those who have failed miserably, those who are impatient, fearful and impulsive. Jesus was the only perfect one God ever used … the rest of us fall in the other […]

May 29, 2020 13:06 - 22 minutes - 18.5 MB

Whatever God orders, he pays for. Wherever he has a purpose, he has a plan, and provision for that plan. He sees the end from the beginning and the way has been made for all he desires. What has he ordered in your life? What has he aligned for you? What did he specially design […]

May 28, 2020 12:49 - 14 minutes - 11.7 MB

Did you know it’s not only your soul that has been saved, but your MIND has been saved as well. The hill where Jesus was crucified was called Golgotha which means “skull”. The victory was won over your mind by Jesus on the skull! How absolutely strategic. The evil one fights to take back what […]

606 God’s Crazy Provision

May 27, 2020 13:02 - 21 minutes - 17.7 MB

605 When Things Go to Crap

May 26, 2020 12:49 - 13 minutes - 11.3 MB

Few people eagerly anticipate the storms of life. Storm chasers are psycho! The storms come, we hunker down, we hold our breath, we wish it away, and then when the storm passes we breathe again.

Isn’t it nice to know someone’s thinking of you? Just to be thought of and remembered brings us a feeling of happiness. Now, imagine the creator of the universe is thinking of YOU. The One who holds the entire world in the palm of his hand thinks specifically about you! And get this, his thoughts […]

603 A Slave to Nothing

May 22, 2020 12:53 - 18 minutes - 15 MB

Who were you in the past? The girl who made bad choices? The girl who never followed through with what she said she would do? The girl who started strong and fizzled fast? The girl who hated mornings, slept like it was her job, gossiped like a pro, bent the truth to suit your lies? […]

May 21, 2020 12:49 - 16 minutes - 13.7 MB

600 An Abundant Filling

May 19, 2020 12:51 - 16 minutes - 13.2 MB

Throughout the day you are breathing, and you likely never notice your breath. Breathing doesn’t require intentional effort, your body does the work without your consciousness even catching on.

599 Try the Casserole

May 18, 2020 12:52 - 14 minutes - 11.8 MB

If you’ve ever had a picky kid, you know the pain of introducing a new food. Your offers are immediately met with resistance. They don’t want new, they want the familiar chicken nuggets. Their mind is set firmly on not liking it before they even try it. My kids were all 3 raised in a […]

May 15, 2020 12:51 - 12 minutes - 10.4 MB

You have a purpose. That purpose is threatened. You are overflowing with potential. That potential is under attack. You have a destiny. That destiny has a detour.

597 But I Don’t Feel Like It

May 14, 2020 12:57 - 16 minutes - 13.5 MB

Chasing our feelings can get us in trouble. If we are waiting to “feel like” doing something before taking action, odds are we’ll be waiting a heck of a long time. My house would be a wreck and my work would be left undone because honestly I don’t really “feel like” doing it. Feelings often […]

596 The Rhythm of Now

May 13, 2020 12:54 - 14 minutes - 12 MB

Life has a rhythm. Sometimes that rhythm is fast and furious, and other times that rhythm is hurry up and wait. It seems many of us are waiting. I talked about the wait last month, certain at this point in May we would be beyond the wait and moving forward. I was wrong. We’re still […]

595 Awareness of the Miraculous

May 12, 2020 12:46 - 15 minutes - 12.3 MB

There’s a tremendous difference between being alive and truly living. What’s available to you today goes beyond just getting through the day.

594 Now It’s Over

May 11, 2020 12:50 - 15 minutes - 12.8 MB

Life is continually changing. Sometimes that change means letting go of something you’re not quite ready to let go of for something you’re totally unsure of. We are creatures of habit, and even the most adventurous of souls still hold on. We grow comfortable where we are and uncomfortable with what may be coming. AND […]

593 How God Texts

May 08, 2020 12:55 - 15 minutes - 12.8 MB

If you knew clearly what God wants, you would likely do it, wouldn’t you? But, if you’re like me, sometimes it’s unclear. I can tell you 1 time in my life I have heard the audible voice of God, and 2 times I have felt the undeniable promptings of God. Outside of those 3 instances, […]

May 07, 2020 12:54 - 20 minutes - 16.2 MB

Have you ever gotten on the right track, made progress, then for one reason or another slipped and gone back to old ways? Maybe this is even your track record. You know the pattern. You make a positive change, that change lasts for a short season, but don’t get too excited because you know it […]

591 Purpose In Your Position

May 06, 2020 12:58 - 17 minutes - 14 MB

590 Desire and Destiny

May 05, 2020 12:50 - 18 minutes - 15.2 MB

When God created you, he had an image in mind. He had a life’s purpose and destiny envisioned for you, then he equipped you perfectly for it. Part of the equipping we often miss is the DESIRE for the life we were created for. That’s right, he not only makes you the right person to […]

589 When Mountains Change

May 04, 2020 12:50 - 16 minutes - 13.2 MB

God sees things we can’t see from our current place and position. Our perspective is grounded in reality, while God’s perspective is in light of eternity. His picture is a gazillion times larger than ours. We are limited to here and now and what we think we know. God actually knew every day of […]

588 Broken For More Jesus

May 01, 2020 12:58 - 21 minutes - 17 MB

Even when things seem confusing, God’s divine plan is unfolding for your good. Even when things seem out of control, God is in complete control.

April 30, 2020 12:57 - 20 minutes - 16.5 MB

Are you waiting? Waiting on an answer? Waiting for something to change? Waiting for something to happen? And as you wait, your entire life feels like it’s on hold. Why the delay?

586 God In the Nest

April 29, 2020 12:53 - 19 minutes - 15.6 MB

I watched a bird meticulously build her nest for several days in our backyard pergola.

Then a storm came through overnight and the next morning I found her perfectly constructed nest laying […]

585 Who Could You Be?

April 28, 2020 12:59 - 17 minutes - 14 MB

Jesus extended an invitation to two brothers who were fishing. The invitation was simple, “Come, follow me.” He wasn’t inviting them to a business meeting. It wasn’t a 3 day conference or a weekend trip. The invitation was for an adventure. An adventure with Jesus. Today, you and I receive that same invitation. Come, let’s […]

584 I Don’t Understand

April 27, 2020 14:13 - 15 minutes - 12.9 MB

If God isn’t getting you out of it, then he’s giving you the strength to get through it. If it’s not good yet, then God’s not done yet. Your understanding is not required. Your trust however is. Trust him and keep on doing good. Some things in life simply don’t make sense. I don’t understand […]

583 Content in the Crazy

April 24, 2020 12:55 - 14 minutes - 12 MB

Are you currently content? Do you feel at peace and satisfied right now? Some would say our current circumstances prohibit being content. Our world has been turned upside down.

582 The Best Is Yet To Come

April 23, 2020 12:52 - 15 minutes - 12.9 MB

When you imagine the life God created you for, and the journey to living that life, what do you see? If it’s a journey to travel, what does that journey look like? We often assume the “right path” in life will look like a highway through the flatlands of the midwest. God will go before […]

April 21, 2020 12:55 - 14 minutes - 11.8 MB

Whatever your problem is, your solution is nearby. God does not promise a problem free journey, he promises provision for every problem along the way.

April 20, 2020 12:52 - 15 minutes - 12.4 MB

You may be going through hardship now, but are you prepared for victory? What will you do when this struggle turns to success? Prepare yourself now for the other side.

578 Spend a Life

April 17, 2020 12:57 - 16 minutes - 13.5 MB

You have a balance. What’s remaining of your life. The number of days you have left to live. We all have one, this unknown balance. A number we can’t see, but everyday is another one down. What we can see are the ones we have already spent. We can look back and count the days […]

April 14, 2020 12:52 - 18 minutes - 15 MB

Ya’ll I’m falling in love with Jesus. I’m beginning to see him in a way I’ve never seen him before. Strangely enough, this new found love is the result of a YouTube series. Have you heard about the new series called “The Chosen”? Few people in my circle have seen it, but after hearing one […]

Good Friday, the day we remember the crucifixion of Jesus. The personal sacrifice of One for all. For me. For you. On this day we remember Jesus carrying that cross for us.

Today is honored as Holy Thursday. This is the day we remember Jesus’ final meal with his disciples before his crucifixion. That final meal is known as the Last Supper.

I grew up in a tiny town in Missouri that no one had ever heard of. Every third year our family had enough money to go on vacation. Our vacation was a single overnight stay in a town 45 minutes away. A town that had a water park, a rollercoaster, go carts, a live show, […]

How much has your life changed? Are you missing something you once had which is no longer a luxury you’re afforded? Ya’ll know me by now. You know I’m a generally ridiculously positive person.

567 Not What I Imagined

April 02, 2020 12:56 - 14 minutes - 12 MB

I know I’m being guided somewhere, I just don’t know exactly where. I know I’m continually being protected from something, I just don’t always see the threats coming.

566 Still a Stone Roller

April 01, 2020 12:53 - 18 minutes - 14.9 MB

Jesus was a stone roller. He did the impossible. He brought dead things back to life. He rolled the stone back from his own grave to rise up. And never forget, HE IS STILL A STONE ROLLER TODAY!
