Our series continues with biblical truths that impact our everyday lives and help us grow in our walk with the Lord. Our subject today is about a powerful truth:  God is at work in you. Let’s think about that. If you’ve ever found it hard to obey God, or maybe you know what to do, but your heart’s just not in it. Maybe you feel dry spiritually, like you're going through the motions. If that s...

Our subject today is something truly life-changing. I call it “the great exchange.” That is, Jesus giving His life so that we could have eternal life. In 2 Corinthians 5:21, the Apostle Paul writes: “God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” That’s the gospel in one verse. Jesus, completely sinless, took on our sin so we could take on H...

Today we’re talking about something vital to the Christian life: *faith in action*. In other words, not just believing—but living out that belief in real, everyday ways. James 2:17, says: “So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.” That’s a bold statement. What James is saying here is that real faith doesn’t just sit still—it moves. It acts. It loves. It obeys. We’re not talking...

Today we’re tackling a big question: Does your life really matter? Ephesians 2:10 tells us,  “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”  You’ve probably had moments in life where you’ve asked yourself, “Do I really matter?” With so many people in the world, it’s easy to feel like just another face in the crowd....

In this episode we’re looking at how we speak life into others—through what we say, how we say it, and when we choose to speak. Good words bring healing and encouragement to others. Words really do carry weight. They can lift people up—or they can tear them down. In a world full of criticism, sarcasm, and negativity, God calls us to be different—to speak life. Please share this episode with your f...

Today we’re talking about honoring God through faithful obedience—what it looks like to live with submission to His will and to respect the order He’s designed for the world around us. This starts with a simple truth:  obedience matters. As believers, obedience isn’t just about following the rules—that’s just legalism--it’s about showing respect for others and ultimately showing love and trust tow...

Fulfillment Comes from Walking in God’s Purpose. Feeling unfulfilled often stems from placing our purpose in the wrong things—success, approval, routine, or even good works. But Scripture teaches that our true purpose is found in knowing and glorifying God. Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 10:31: “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.”

Personal responsibility is one of the cornerstones of a fulfilling and successful life. It empowers us to take control of our actions, choices, and outcomes. When we embrace personal responsibility, we acknowledge that we are accountable for the consequences of our decisions, whether positive or negative. This sense of accountability creates a strong work ethic and a commitment to continuous self-...

As Christians, we are to earnestly seek God. In doing so, we are to live and walk by faith. Not only that, we must also consciously exercise our faith. Jesus said in Matthew 17:20 that “if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.’” 

Life is full of challenges, and as followers of Christ, we’re called not to avoid difficulties but to embrace them with faith and perseverance. The Bible teaches us that growth, character, and maturity come through trials and effort. Learning to do hard things is essential for our spiritual walk, as it deepens our reliance on God and shapes us into the people He desires us to be.

Today, we’re talking about praying through adversity. I know we’ve all had our share of adversity in life, but I don’t know what your particular adversity has been or will be. So, in this study, when I say the word adversity, just plug your particular issue into the mix. That will personally define “adversity” for you. Most adversity comes from only three or four places: work, family, finances or...

Today we will look at a murder case in which a white deputy sheriff, while on duty, shot and killed an unarmed black woman.  In 2014 and 2015 our country was confronting issues of racism and its impact on law enforcement. And, just as importantly, the impact of the actions of law enforcement on race. This situation took place before George Floyd died in the custody of police officers in Minnesota,...

This is a podcast I don’t want to do, and one you don’t want to hear. Frankly, this is a podcast that should go viral, but it won’t unless you listen, absorb, and then share this with everyone you know. Today we will be talking about child sexual abuse. You may want to avoid having to listen to something like this but I encourage you to stay with me. All around us we see sexual abuse of children,...

Getting a jury selected and seated in a major criminal case is a...

Today we will be talking about a capital murder case I handled and how the facts of the defendant’s life and background were fairly stunning when they came out.
