Chosen and Dearly Loved

A Thankful Reminder

Morning Motivator - Lasting Joy

Patience with a Good Attitude

Trials can be the path to God's purpose.

Anger is something that I can so easily jump into almost instantly when something goes wrong. It's so easy to be angry at the kids when they do something you tell him not to do. Maybe something happens at work and you get mad. Of course, traffic certainly is a trigger for anger for many (myself included). One important thing to point out is that not all anger is bad. Anger is an emotion that God g...

When you and I walk into the gym, we know that we're about to have some trials and hard times as we begin to pick up heavy weights and put them back down. Or maybe we're doing some aerobic exercise and sweating it out. But we do that because we know that at the end of all of that there is hopefully going to be a healthier you and a healthier me with a stronger body as a result of that workout. But...

I've been in this place and maybe you're there now where you go through a long stretch where it just feels like you're racking up a bunch of losses and no wins. When that happens, it can really be hard to see God really working in your life and the enemy can convince you that He isn't. But I just wanted to remind you that you have victory in Christ because Romans 8:37 reminds us: "No, in all these...

One thing that I do frequently when it comes to laundry is that often I'll pull out a load of clean clothes, throw them in a basket or hamper, and then leave the clothes like that throughout the week so that I can just pick and choose what I want to wear from the basket. This is of course because I hate folding clothes and hanging things up so if you do the same thing, I hope you know that you're...

If you've watched TV recently, there are commercials left and right reminding us that we're in a political season. Whenever November rolls around, there's always an election coming up. Sometimes it can feel like a really divided time in our social media feeds, even if you don't find yourself to be a political person. However, sometimes there might be a post that sparks an argument or prompts us to...

It has been in recent months that William Shatner (Star Trek) visited space which is a big deal for someone who became famous for playing Captain Kirk in the original Star Trek series. However, his response once he got to space really stood out to me. Here is how he described it: "When I got to space, I was so excited to see what this next frontier was like. But there was no mystery. There was no...

If you are celebrating an anniversary this month, you are not alone! Our own Caryn & Jeremy are celebrating 8 years of marriage today and during today's show, they discuss how they first met and Jeremy shares the moment that He discovered that He had feelings for Caryn.

Luke 9:23 says: "Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me." - Luke 9:23 Denying yourself is an essential part of the Christian life. Jesus called upon those who wish to be His followers to reject the natural human inclination toward selfishness. Self-denial for the Christian means renouncing oneself as the center of...

You may have a box and in that box, there may be some things that you want to keep memories of like your kids school homework or letters/notes that you had from high school. But also, you may have a box that has things in it that you really shouldn't hang on to. I'm talking about a book that carries reminders of your past mistakes. Those things we call sin that God calls sin that we just have an o...

Rather than reacting in panic or doubt, followers of Christ should feel a sense of peace. This confidence is inspired by knowledge that nothing they experience catches God by surprise. The expression "take heart" implies courage: knowing Christ's victory overshadows all those troubles. If you’re facing trials right now, you can have joy while your tears flow. You can rejoice in the midst of pain....

Recently, I was talking a TV show about family history and one of the men on the show had learned that one of his ancestor had sailed to America. However, to his surprise, he found out that the very next year that ship sank. The man responded to the news saying: "Well, it's just a random piece of luck that I'm here at all."  To me, this is such a sad response because you are never here by some ran...

If you want a happier life, it isn't found in things like more possessions, money, or fame. It's when we practice contentment and gratitude. For many of us, this doesn't come naturally so it's a constant struggle we bear. However, new research into the field of Neuroplasticity shows that we can actually rewire our mind the more thankful we are. In fact, the more thankful you are in the tough times...

Luke 18:27 tells us: Jesus replied, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.” - Luke 18:27 This verse takes place in the context of Jesus talking to a Rich Young Ruler who was asking him what he must do to inherit eternal life. Jesus, knowing the state of this man's heart, told him to sell everything and follow him because he knew that possessions and riches directed the mans heart and a...

Sometimes we can get so busy in life that we can look around and realize that we've been leaving God out of a lot of what we do. But we want to remind you of what Psalm 51:10-12 says: "Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to...

If you're human, at some point in your life, you are going to deal with shame. Whether that's over past mistakes or over present consequences, shame doesn't merely tell us that we made a mistake, but rather it tells us that we are a mistake. However, I hope you know that shame couldn't be further from the truth and as Christians, we always need to remember that God doesn't write us off whenever we...

If you're a parent, you know that sometimes when your kid is throwing a fit, they are either hungry or tired. But with Caryn, she learned this lesson yesterday as she was having a conversation with Jeremy where she ended up getting emotional for an unknown reason. After this happened, she decided to take a nap and woke up to a snack as well. Once she felt refreshed and satisfied, she remember that...

If you feel like I'm in a battle, you are not alone. In fact, the Bible talks about us being in battles and facing things that are not flesh and blood but in the spiritual realm. In Ephesians 6:10-13, the Apostle Paul reminds us that God doesn't leave us defenseless in the battles that we're facing. It says: "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so...

Over the weekend, Caryn and Jeremy were doing some painting in the house they just moved into. After finishing up, Jeremy ran a flashlight over the paint to check if they had gotten every spot and to Caryn's surprise, there were several areas that had shown where the old paint was making it's way through the new paint. This reminded Caryn of Ephesians 5:13 where it says:  "But everything exposed b...

Sometimes it can feel really difficult to make a change in the world but you can always be kind. James Warren was walking in his Denver neighborhood when something gave him pause. "A woman was waiting for the bus, sitting in the dirt. And I was like, 'Oh man, that sucks.' That's not dignified at all. We need to be doing better by our fellow city members." And so, he thought, 'I could do something...
