Working hard and being responsible is good, yes, but striving to do it all, have it all, and take care of it all while depending solely on our o...

December 23, 2021 10:00 - 26 minutes - 30.3 MBHow sad would it be to get to the end of our days and realize that we never fully lived?

December 13, 2021 10:00 - 25 minutes - 23.6 MBSo many of us these days are worn out and stressed out because we are striving to obtain the life God has already promised to give us. But peace, joy, belonging, freedom, and impact aren’t earned by striving; they are received by resting. It sounds counterintuitive in today’s world—because it is. Work is good, but laboring solely in our own strength and wisdom to try to make good decisions, to get ahead, to love others, or just to live everyday life, is a path that will eventually leave us f...

Maybe it’s letting go of a job you’ve long since outgrown or an unhealthy “friendship” you’ve had since childhood. Or perhaps it is simply the comfortable routines you’ve settled into over the years, or some bad habits you’ve thought about quitting too many times. Whatever it is you might need to leave behind, living wit...
EP 162 You Can Be an Agent of Change
December 02, 2021 10:00 - 26 minutes - 23.9 MBYou have what it takes to change the world. Yes, seriously. Your power and authority come from God and, in fact, this is what he created his followers to do. And here’s how: you simply begin by changing the world around you every day - at home, at work, at school, and in your community. We can transform any situation wherever we go. If we go where there’s an atmosphere of hate, we can bring a spirit of love. Where there is despair and hopelessness, we can give joy and hope. Where there is an...

EP 160 Rest that Recharges Your Life
November 25, 2021 10:00 - 25 minutes - 23.2 MBIf we don’t learn to rest, we will burn out. We will run out of motivation, willpower, ambition, and strength to just keep trying a little harder.

All we have to do is go to him, place our burdens and worries into his more than capable hands, a...
EP 159 How to Get Unstuck
November 22, 2021 10:00 - 25 minutes - 23.2 MBWhy are you holding yourself back from the life you long for? From an abundant life full of joy and purpose. From the new career you want to explore, the deeper friendships you long for, a college degree or a healthy loving relationship. Is it because you don’t feel qualified or think that you don’t have what it takes? Maybe it’s because you’re afraid you’ll lose friends by making a big move, get hurt if you put yourself out there in relationships, or that you’ll look like a fool if you fail...
EP 158 You were Created on Purpose for a Purpose
November 18, 2021 10:00 - 25 minutes - 23.4 MBHow you see yourself has a massive impact on how you live your life - the choices you make, the dreams you pursue, and the legacy you leave. So I wonder: how do you see yourself? Do you believe you just happen to be alive on the earth at this moment in time? Or do you believe God created you on purpose, with a purpose, for such a time as this? Only one of those is true, and it is this: God created you with a unique purpose and put you on the earth in this generation for a specific reason - t...
EP 157 Will You Do It Afraid?
November 15, 2021 10:00 - 25 minutes - 23 MBDo you have big dreams, long to make a difference for the Kingdom, but find yourself holding back because you think you’re too regular, your life too ordinary, or your abilities too small? I have good news for you - God has only ever used ordinary people to do extraordinary things. He takes what the world considers a “nobody” and turns them into a “somebody.” And their part was simply to say “yes,” to give God their willing heart and open hands in spite of any fear or doubt they were wrestli...

Heart health in the natural realm helps us lead a long and strong life, and a spiritually healthy heart leads us to live a strong life filled with a passion and energy that will fuel us in everything we do. It is the key to living a passionate life for all of our days. This principle appli...
EP 155 Knowing Who You Are Changes Everything
November 08, 2021 10:00 - 25 minutes - 23.5 MBOur identity is shaped by so many things, but one significant factor is where we’re from. Our home impacts so much of how we think, act, and live. While this may be challenging from an earthly perspective if our homes are not loving places, as Christians our true homes are actually all in heaven. And this truth changes everything. When we shift our perspective from earthly to eternal, from what we see to what God sees, we can develop a true understanding of the identity God has formed in us....

November 04, 2021 08:00 - 25 minutes - 23.6 MBDo you ever think it would be much easier just to give up on your hopes and dreams because they seem too far-fetched? Maybe you feel it was foolish to think that God would use you in a powerful way or to believe he would make a way where you can’t see one? We’ve likely all had thoughts like this at some point. And these thoughts can help us see what’s really going on: we’re relying on ourselves to make things happen in our lives instead of trusting in God. We can get so preoccupied by lookin...

November 01, 2021 08:00 - 26 minutes - 24.2 MBGod has put us on this earth to be lights in dark places, to be conduits of His love to people, and to make an impact for the Kingdom. But living a life of impact is not always going to be easy and it’s not always going to be comfortable - it will require faith. We’ll have to take some risks by stepping out to go where God wants us to go and to do what he asks us to do. Without faith, we are likely to find ourselves trading the abundant, peace-filled life God designed for us, for one filled ...
EP 152 How to Stop Striving for Your Purpose
October 28, 2021 08:00 - 25 minutes - 23.6 MBWaiting on God is one of the most important things we will ever learn to do. Waiting well leads us to spiritual maturity, develops our reliance on God, builds faith, and infuses us with courage. And waiting on God will take us further than we could ever take ourselves on our own. So what stops us from waiting? Oftentimes, it’s impatience and selfish ambition. On the surface, we may look like we’re on track - fueled by Godly ambition - but if we’re honest with ourselves, the motivation in our...

October 21, 2021 08:00 - 25 minutes - 23.2 MBWhat do you do when circumstances, friendship, job situations, or lost opportunities disappoint? When things don’t go our way, despite our best efforts, our natural inclination may be to try to take control of the situation. We may attempt to manage by withdrawing from life and avoiding our problems, or by striving in our own strength to make everything right. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to lay it all down and trust God to figure it out. We think if we stop trying to fix it, we’ll g...

October 18, 2021 08:00 - 25 minutes - 23.1 MBYour life will change forever when you begin to see the power of the “here and now.” It’s really all that we’ve got! We can act like our calling is out there somewhere, and that we’ll discover it some day—but your purpose is always happening right here and right now.

October 11, 2021 08:00 - 24 minutes - 22.8 MBIs there something holding you back? If so, it might not be what you think it is. Whether you already know what you want in life—or you’re still looking at all the possibilities—if you’re not where you’d like to be, consider this: you may actually be trying too hard. Some of us have spent a lifetime striving to make things happen in our own strength. We wear ourselves out jockeying for position, stressing about where we’ll get the money we need, or obsessing over making relationships into wh...
EP 146 There are Still Good Things Ahead of You
October 07, 2021 08:00 - 24 minutes - 22.8 MBYou can be just as strong, passionate, and fruitful today as you have been at any other point in your life—no matter your age or your season in life. Do you believe that? It can be hard when we have a culture and an enemy that tells us it’s over, it’s too late, it’s too hard, we’re no longer qualified, or there are too many obstacles to overcome. But God has made it very clear in his Word that he has a plan, purpose, and destiny for us at every age and stage of our lives, for as long as we’r...

October 04, 2021 08:00 - 25 minutes - 23.2 MBIn our fast-paced, instant culture, most of us really do not like waiting. And that’s particularly true when we’re waiting for direction in life, for wisdom and answers from God, isn’t it? We’re eager to get going, and anything less than getting it “right now” feels like being held back. But if we want to see the purposes and plans of God come to pass in our lives, we have to learn to live on God’s time and not our own. And that means learning to wait well. Most of the time, we think of wait...

And he has a plan for you that is greater than you can even think or imagine. But here’s the question: are you willing to wait for it?
