As followers of Christ, we know our souls are protected and we are eternally safe. As we live our lives while here on Earth, we know we’ll face trials and persecution. That’s a tough pill to swallow, and this tension can cause us to live in fear. Today, we’re talking about 3 Steps to shut down fear with God’s protection by standing firm in this truth: Truth: Since you are protected, you can combat...

It’s no mystery where the term “leap of faith” comes from. It’s thrown around pretty casually in the secular world, and it all ties back to faith. True faith requires a leap of sorts. When we go all in on our faith in Jesus, we can see the reality that God equips us with abilities we could never obtain on our own. Today, we’re looking at how tiny acts of obedience prepare us for big leaps of faith...

Crossing the line of faith, becoming a Christian, and accepting Christ as your Lord and savior are all talking about the same decision: choosing to wholeheartedly follow God.

In a world that prides itself on being strong and independent as labels of success, I’d like to challenge you with a different perspective. What if, instead, we humble ourselves, and admit that we’re weak and dependent on a higher power? The ugly truth about being independent is that we actually can’t do anything on our own, and we God to sustain us through His strength. Let's rest in this truth t...

It’s no breaking news to you of the fact that all humans have felt fear. The interesting thing about fear is that it comes in all shapes and sizes and has no discrimination.

Today we'll take a practical look at how to step...

There are a ton of popular Pinterest quotes about courage, bravery, and “doing it scared.” Those are encouraging, yes, but how can we back these fluffy quotes with actual Biblical action?

Let’s face it. We all have this common humanity experience here on Earth: Sometimes we feel like an outsider. This feeling can arise from a situation that happened, or maybe just being different than the people you’re around. If feeling like an outcast happens with worldly things, then it can certainly creep into our spiritual lives if we let it.  Truth: Since you belong, you can invite others in....

God loves you no matter what, and offers you an eternity in Heaven with Him. If you’re a believer, you have the opportunity to reciprocate that love in the best way you know how.

We're going to dig into the topic of redemption, and how you can leverage your life experience to point people to Christ. Redemption is a fancy way to say something has been paid for. In Christianity, once you cross the line of faith, you are saved once and for all. Speaking through my experience, Jesus stepped in my place to pay the price. He saved my soul. He picked me up out of my mess and he d...

Have you ever been hurt by someone before? I'm talking deep wound, or even if you get that bitter taste in your mouth when you hear their name or think about what happened.
