Choosing Love Today

We’ve been walking through Paul's letter to the Romans together, and each day we've been taking one small piece of truth and carrying it into real life. Today, I want to talk about something Paul touches on frequently — and that's something every one of us feels at some point: and that's loneliness in our faith. And to help us see it clearly, I want to walk with Elijah for a moment. Elijah is one...

Today’s episode is about a kind of faith we don’t talk about enough — the kind that costs something. The kind that asks you to leave something behind. The kind that requires courage, not comfort. And if you’ve ever had to make a hard decision, or walk away from something familiar, or step into a future you didn’t fully understand… then you know exactly what I’m talking about. When I think about co...

Today’s episode is one that hits close to home for anyone who’s ever felt like their faith is moving slower than they hoped. And let’s be honest — waiting is one of the hardest things God ever asks us to do. We like progress. We like movement. We like seeing results. But faith doesn’t always grow in the fast moments. Sometimes it grows in the slow ones. And when I think about slow faith — faith th...

Today's episode is one I have to remind myself of over and over gain. And to be completely honest with you, this was a very tough topic for me to wrap my head around before I surrendered my life to Jesus Christ. First of all, I like structure. I'm really not a last minute, do things at the spur of the moment kind of person. If you need my help, please don't ask me at the last minute. Anyone who re...

In this second part of our Romans series, we take a closer look at what real faith actually looks like. Not the polished version we talk about on Sundays, and not the complicated version we sometimes make it out to be — but the kind of faith that shows up in real life. Paul gives us a picture of faith that trusts God’s promise, leans on His strength, and grows through everyday choices. This episod...

Let me ask you a question...does it aggravate you when you do something for someone and it gets to the point they always seem to just take it for granted or that it almost seems like it's expected of you to continue to keep doing it for them? That's a great question for us to explore today and I'd like talk to you a little about that.   One of the quiet challenges of faith is this: We forget. We f...

Today I want to talk to you a little bit about when we find out if we really have faith, or maybe better put, how much...or what kind of faith do we have? You know, one of the things I’ve learned over the years is that faith isn’t proven in the big moments. It’s not proven in the dramatic stories or the mountaintop experiences. It’s not even proven in the times when we feel closest to God. Faith i...

You know, life has a way of shifting on us when we least expect it. One minute everything feels steady, predictable, manageable… and then something changes. A job situation. A relationship. A health scare. A financial curve ball. Or sometimes it’s nothing dramatic — maybe it's just a slow drift where things don’t feel as solid or as right as they used to. And when life shifts, our first instinct i...

As Paul continues in Romans, he talks about wanting to visit the believers in Rome so he can strengthen their faith — and be strengthened by theirs. And before we go any further in this series, I want to pause right here and talk about that word: faith. Because faith is a big word. It’s a church word. It’s a Bible word. But it’s also a real-life word, and sometimes we use it without slowing down l...

Today we're starting a brand new series of mini-messages on Enduring Faith. We also started a 4 part series on the Book of Romans. So what we going to be doing is breaking down the book of Romans in 4 parts with a new full episode every Tuesday. This will give us the foundation of Romans – the truth of what the gospel is and why it matters. And then on the other 6 days of the week, I'm going to be...

Romans is one of the most important letters ever written — and Paul starts it by answering a huge question: Why do we even need the gospel? In this episode, we walk through Romans 1 and look at Paul’s opening message about the human condition, the reality of sin, and the reason Jesus came. It’s honest, it’s direct, and it sets the stage for everything that comes later in Romans. If you’ve ever won...

Episode 11 is LIVE! Today we begin our new Romans series with Why We Need the Gospel. Romans gives us the foundation — the truth of what the gospel is and why it matters. And tomorrow, we’ll start the first Enduring Faith mini episodes — short daily messages to help you carry that truth into everyday life Grab your coffee, open your Bible, grab a notepad, and let’s walk through this together. Than...

Today is the last day of our “Heroes Who Waited” series – as we were going through the Book of Acts. This last hero should be known to most everyone if you're familiar with the Bible. His name is Paul, but if someone only knows Paul from the letters in the New Testament, they might think he just showed up one day preaching and planting churches. But Paul’s story didn’t start in ministry. It starte...

Tomorrow morning at 5am, we begin our new Romans series with Episode 11: Why We Need the Gospel. Romans gives us the foundation — the truth of what the gospel is and why it matters. And starting this week, you’ll also see the first Enduring Faith mini episodes — short daily messages designed to help you carry that truth into everyday life. Two formats. One message. Faith that lasts. Looking forwar...

A new 4 week series on the Book of Romans begins on Tuesday and runs for 4 weeks. Beginning the day after the Romans series airs there will be a new mini-series titles, "Enduring Faith" - short daily messages designed to help you carry the truth of Romans into everyday life. Romans gives us the foundation. Enduring faith helps us live it. Both begin this week. I'm excited to share this with you. K...

We're in our last 2 days of our “Heroes Who Waited” series – as we are finishing up in the Book of Acts and I wanted to talk to you about Simeon and Anna. Now, if you’ve never heard of Simeon and Anna, you’re in good company. Most folks sitting in their car or folding laundry have no idea who these two are. They’re tucked quietly into Luke 2 — same chapter as the Christmas story — but they’re not...

We're in the last 3 days of our “Heroes Who Waited” series – as we finishing up in the Book of Acts and I want to talk to you about Hannah. You can read about her in the Book of 1st Samuel specifically in the 1st and 2nd chapter. Now, if you’ve never heard of Hannah, you’re not alone. Most folks only know her because she’s the mother of Samuel — one of Israel’s greatest leaders — but her own story...

As we continue our final few days of our “Heroes Who Waited” series – while were finishing up in the Book of Acts I want to talk to you about Job. It's an Old Testament book. His story begins with everything working. Life made sense. Family strong. Business thriving. Faith steady. The kind of season where you think, “Alright… this is how life is supposed to go.” And then — without warning — everyt...

As we continue our “Heroes Who Waited” series — and as we prepare our hearts for Acts — I want to talk about Moses. Not the Moses who parted the Red Sea. Not the Moses who confronted Pharaoh. Not the Moses who led Israel out of Egypt. I want to talk about the Moses who waited. Because before Moses ever stepped into leadership… before he ever performed a miracle… before he ever spoke for God… he sp...

Episode 10 invites us to slow down and remember the God who never walks away. Through Paul’s words in Acts 20:24, we see a life shaped by purpose, steadiness, and the presence of a Savior who refuses to leave His people alone. This is a message for anyone who feels worn down, uncertain, or stretched thin — God is still with you, still guiding you, still calling you forward. Memory Verse: Acts 20:2...

As we continue our “Heroes Who Waited” series — and as we prepare our hearts for Acts — I want to talk about Joseph. If Abraham waited on a promise, Joseph waited in the dark. Joseph didn’t wait in comfort. He didn’t wait in peace. He didn’t wait in a quiet season of reflection. He waited in betrayal. He waited in slavery. He waited in prison. He waited in places he didn’t choose and couldn’t esca...

When we walk through Acts, we see people waiting — waiting for direction, waiting for power, waiting for God to move. But that’s not a new pattern. It’s something God has been doing with His people for generations. Take David. David was anointed king as a teenager. He didn’t sit on the throne until he was thirty. That’s a long stretch of waiting. A long stretch of running, hiding, learning, failin...

When we step into the Book of Acts, we see people waiting — waiting for direction, waiting for power, waiting for God to move. But that’s not a new pattern. It’s something God has been doing with His people from the very beginning. Take Abraham. God gave him a promise: “You will be the father of many nations.” But Abraham didn’t step into that promise the next day… or the next year… or even the ne...

Before the Book of Acts explodes with movement, miracles, and momentum… there’s a quiet moment. A moment where the disciples are told to wait. Not because God was slow. Not because He was unsure. But because He was preparing something bigger than they could see. And that’s a pattern we see all through Scripture. Abraham waited years before the promise became reality. David waited years before the...
