anger.
July 31, 2020 23:59 - 20 minutes - 18.9 MBTHE WORD THIS WEEK IS: anger. "Don’t raise your voice, improve your argument," they say. The tension in this country right now is insane. Palpable.

Aren’t we allowed to be angry? In this episode we break down the difference between RIGHTEOUS anger and UNRIGHTEOUS anger. If you’re realizing your fight-or-flight mode is...
calling.
July 23, 2020 02:41 - 17 minutes - 16 MBTHE WORD THIS WEEK IS: calling. What is your calling? Are we called to die? Are we supposed to follow our “passions”?

Remember: No reserves. No retreats. No regrets. Go rise up. |...

see.
May 06, 2020 07:45 - 11 minutes - 15.6 MBTHE WORD THIS WEEK IS: see. Do you “see” the good in people? Do you “see” the good in situations? What exactly are you looking for? Is your vision, your sight, is it fixed, scattered, or is it peripheral, gazed, and out of focus? How do you see yourself? How do you see the world? In this episode we are going to address three different points of seeing and how to refocus our “heart vision”. It’s time to “see” things a little bit differently…here’s how. Go rise up. || xxE Bible Verses i...

comparison.
April 16, 2020 08:00 - 12 minutes - 17.7 MBTHE WORD THIS WEEK IS: comparison. I have watched, first hand, this one, single, word destroy some of the most brilliantly talented people I’ve ever met. No one has your heart. Your mind. Your triumph over struggles. Your battle scars that live to tell the story. It’s time to siphon through your life. To stop the mental comparison game and narrative you keep feeding yourself. In this episode we learn how to “unlearn” some old ways of thinking, and replace them with new ones that move you cl...
conquer.
April 02, 2020 04:48 - 14 minutes - 20.3 MBTHE WORD THIS WEEK IS: conquer. They say that out of boredom sparks creativity. This episode is for all the business owners. The entrepreneurs. The movers and shakers. What does it mean to conquer in the middle of worldwide financial crisis? What does it look like? Where do you even begin? Do you just put off your dreams for a later date? Go forward with a conquering spirit… conquer anxiety with scripture…conquer evil with love. Take up your cross and follow him. Even if your steps are sm...
closer.
March 26, 2020 00:05 - 12 minutes - 17 MBTHE WORD THIS WEEK IS: closer. I know that might seem conflicting due to the circumstances we’re currently in with a nationwide 15-day quarantine over COVID-19 while learning the art of the new collective norm of social distancing -- but there’s some irony in all of this. Although we are social distancing in some aspects of our daily life, we’re also given the opportunity, right now, to become closer in others. This week we break down some ways to grow closer during the push for distance. ...
promise.
February 05, 2020 07:16 - 11 minutes - 10.7 MBTHE WORD THIS WEEK IS: promise. What a weighted word. We say it like it's just a noun, forgetting that it is a verb as well. But what does it actually mean to you? Is your word your bond? Do you make promises that you intend to keep, but then pull back last minute because of inconvenience? This week we dive into HEBREWS 13:5 Where God says, “Never will I leave you, Never will I forsake you.” There are so many promises from God’s word to you. He is a faithful God. A God who keeps His cove...
vapor.
January 22, 2020 07:41 - 12 minutes - 12 MBTHE WORD THIS WEEK IS: vapor. "Meaningless! Meaningless!" says the Teacher. "Everything is meaningless!" Wait, what?! Yup. Meaningless. What if I were to tell you there's nothing new under the sun & that our life is merely vapor? Would it challenge you to live differently? Would it put things into perspective more? This week as we dive into Chapter 1 of Ecclesiastes, put your ego aside & fully experience the moments that you’re in for the gifts that they are -- we are so blessed to be al...
dare.
November 28, 2019 00:04 - 8 minutes - 7.56 MBTHE WORD THIS WEEK IS: dare. Truth or dare? Dare. I dare you to dream. You know exactly what dream I'm talking about too. It's that dream that God continues to put on your heart, that you keep ignoring because the timing is not right to pursue it. Or you're just flat out afraid. Well my friend, it's time. Shake off the fear. God rejoices when you dare to dream. In Isaiah 14:27 it says that when the Lord all-powerful makes a plan, no one can stop it. What is meant for you, will always be ...
