Choosing Love Today

Hey friends — Mike here. As we step into Saturday, I want to keep us anchored in the theme we’ve been walking through this week: The Jesus We Meet. And I want to sit with John 14:6 for a moment — where Jesus says, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life.’ You know, Saturdays can be funny days. Sometimes they’re restful, sometimes they’re busy, sometimes they’re a mix of both. But no matter what kin...

“Hey friends — Mike here. As we head into Friday, I want to keep us centered on the theme we’ve been sitting in this week: The Jesus We Meet. You know, in John 14:6, Jesus gives us one of the clearest, most direct statements about who He is. He says, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life.’ And I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately — how easy it is to look for direction in a hundred different...

You can’t fix the whole world. It’s too big, too loud, too complicated. But you can decide how you show up in it. Every day gives you a choice — react the way the world reacts, or respond with something different. Something steady. Something rooted. Something that actually reflects Jesus. And maybe the real difference is this: walking into a room thinking, “What do they think about me?” vs. “Who i...

I saw a man at the grocery store yesterday who looked worn out. Not angry… just tired. The kind of tired that sits behind the eyes. And it reminded me of something simple: everybody’s carrying something.

In this episode, we turn from the world Jesus entered to the Jesus we actually meet in the Gospels — not the Jesus we imagine, not the Jesus we create in our minds, but the Jesus who reveals Himself with clarity, compassion, authority, and truth. John 14:6 anchors us as Jesus makes one of the most defining statements in all of Scripture: “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” We explore what tha...

This week’s Monday mini‑message comes from one of the clearest and most comforting statements Jesus ever made. In John 14:6, He says, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” Not a way among many… not one truth in a sea of opinions… not part of life when things are going well. He says, I am the way. I am the truth. I am the life.

As we head into the July 4th weekend, here’s a short reminder about the kind of freedom that goes deeper than fireworks and cookouts. You can live in a free country and still feel trapped — and you can live in a pressured world and still walk in peace. Jesus said, “If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” This 60–120 second encouragement is here to help you breathe, reset, and remember...

In today’s episode, we step into the world Jesus entered — a world filled with tension, division, spiritual hunger, and people searching for hope. It wasn’t calm. It wasn’t simple. It wasn’t perfect. And Jesus stepped right into the middle of it. This first part of our series looks at the cultural, political, and religious landscape of Jesus’ day and shows how deeply it connects to the world we li...

In this episode, we slow down and look at the world Jesus walked into — a world full of tension, confusion, spiritual hunger, and competing expectations. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us that the real battle wasn’t political or cultural, but spiritual. And when you understand that, the Gospels come alive in a whole new way. We explore the pressures, hopes, and misunderstandings of the people waiting for...

Tomorrow we begin a new series — The Gospels: Part 1 — The World Jesus Entered. We’re taking a reflective look at the world Jesus walked into — the tension, the expectations, and the spiritual battle shaping everything. Our memory verse is Ephesians 6:12. Episode goes live tomorrow morning

“A simple reminder for your weekend: You’re not carrying God… He’s carrying you. Episode 6 is live now.”

Today’s Touch Point is a simple reminder: You don’t have to be anybody else. Not more polished, not more impressive, not more put‑together. God works with the real you — the one He’s been shaping through real life. Choosing love today starts with choosing to be the person God already made you to be.

this episode, we step across the bridge from the Old Testament into the New, and we watch the long‑awaited promise of God become a living, breathing Person. Galatians 4:4 tells us that Jesus came “when the fullness of time had come” — not early, not late, but right on time. We explore what that means, why God waited, and how the entire story of Scripture has been building toward this moment. If th...

In this episode, we pause and look back at the road we’ve been walking together. We started in the Old Testament on purpose — not just because it’s the beginning of the Bible, but because it’s the foundation of the whole story God has been telling. Every promise, every pattern, every prophecy was pointing forward and whispering the same name… Jesus. When you read the Scriptures closely, you discov...

This Father’s Day weekend, here’s a simple reminder of the quiet, steady calling of a father. Not just providing… but guiding, shaping, and passing on God’s truth in the everyday moments. Proverbs 22:6 and Deuteronomy 6 remind us of the legacy fathers build one day at a time. Hope this encourages you today.

Thursday Touch Point — Acts 2:42 Acts 2:42 shows us people who didn’t just believe… they practiced. They built habits that shaped their hearts and their lives. Today’s challenge is simple: Pick one habit that brings you closer to God and closer to people, and practice it intentionally. Not perfectly — just faithfully and intentionally. What’s the one thing you need to lean into today… and while yo...

In this episode, we look at how Jesus didn’t just appear in the New Testament — He stepped into a story God had been writing for centuries. From the promises of the prophets to the patterns woven through Israel’s history, everything was pointing forward to Him. We walk through some of the clearest Old Testament prophecies and see how Jesus fulfills them with precision, purpose, and love. And we an...

In this episode, we look at what it really means to choose love when life gets messy, people get difficult, and our first reaction isn’t always our best one. This isn’t theory — it’s real‑life faith in real‑life moments. We walk through a simple, practical picture from Scripture that shows how God meets us right in the middle of our frustration and invites us to respond with something better. If y...

In this episode, we keep digging into one of the biggest questions people ask: Can we trust the Bible? Today we look at the evidence behind Scripture’s reliability — history, archaeology, prophecy, and how the manuscripts were preserved. It’s practical, it’s honest, and it gives you solid ground to stand on. If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt or wanted to understand why the Bible is trustworthy, t...

In this episode of Choosing Love Today, we begin our look at why the Bible remains the most important and trustworthy book ever written, examining its historical reliability, fulfilled prophecy, and life-changing message. Through Scripture, history, and personal reflection, this episode challenges listeners to build their faith on a solid foundation and discover how God’s Word can transform everyd...
