Tune in and learn how not being in control is actually the best news!

Raising kids that love the Bible is a crucial topic, but let's be honest it sounds boring to discuss. We have taken that challenge head on and hope we have taken this important topic and also made it interesting and applicable. Either way, as Christian parents, we need to get this right because it will impact the entire life of our kids.

Married couples, this is a must listen to podcast episode. Are you reading the Bible together? You absolutely need to be. Let's look at the many ways God's Word blesses marriages and unites us on a mission for God together.

It's time to rise up. It's time to conform our lives to the Bible. This podcast episode looks at the important role men play in fighting for the next generation and how women can help to encourage them to succeed. There is real power, joy, and adventure when we rise up to God's calling!

God continues to burden our heart for the next generation of the Church. However, time has continually stopped us from giving more to this mission of fighting for the next generation. But, no longer! We have a behind the scenes look into the exciting things coming in this new year. Yet, there is a twist, this podcast isn't just about us. It has a very important message for you too!

Sit down and be encouraged by a heartfelt conversation with Justin and Katy as they wrap up 2018 and look ahead to 2019. As we consider the coming year, are we really focused on the most important things? Don't miss this important message.

The final letter addressed to the churches in Revelation is sent to the lukewarm church of Laodicea. What makes Jesus want to spit this church from his mouth and what has blinded the Laodiceans to their "pitiful" state? Not only is this letter a timely reminder for the church in America, it's also a beautiful invitation to the real riches and joy found in Jesus.

We are diving into the letter to Philadelphia. While Jesus begins each letter in Revelation by describing himself, this one is particularly powerful because it talks about his authority as the King of Kings that sits on David's throne forever. This truth brings encouragement to the church in Philadelphia and should do the same for us. Let us be an overcomer and stand in the presence of our powerfu...

"I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up!" In the letter to Sardis, Jesus gives this church a strong rebuke. By all their outward appearances, this church seemed to be thriving, but in reality they were spiritually dead. What is your reputation? Would God agree? Let's hear the words of Jesus to Sardis and wake up!

"Nevertheless, I have this against you: you tolerate that woman Jezebel." Jesus' message to the church in Thyatira calls out Jezebel and those who have committed acts of idolatry and immorality with her. Join us as we learn what the Bible teaches us about Jezebel and then examine our own lives and churches for signs that we have been tolerating her too.

In the letter to Pergamum, Jesus points out that he is the one with the sharp, double-edged sword. Why introduce himself to the church in Pergamum in this way? What was going on that needed fighting back against? What lessons does this have for the church today? Give this podcast a listen, I think you will be encouraged.

In the letter to Smyrna in Revelation, we get a picture of a church facing afflictions, poverty, slander, and persecution. Yet, Jesus reminds them that he is the First and Last, he died and came to life again. In Jesus, they are rich and can stand firm even to the point of death and receive life as a victor's crown. This letter offers us great encouragement today as we face days of increased perse...

The letters to the churches in Revelation offer encouragement and challenges for Christians today. In the letter to Ephesus, Jesus commends them for their hard work and perseverance. Yet, he rebukes them for forsaking their first love. This was a serious sin they were committing that required their repentance. For Christians today, we need to consider the same thing: Are we forsaking our first lov...

It is critical that we teach our kids how to pray because prayer is powerful and is a blessing God gives us as Christians. Yet, for many of us parents, it can be an intimidating area because we know that we aren't the best at it and feel quite uncomfortable praying in front of others. The good news is there are practical ways to grow in our prayer lives and steps we can take to see our children pr...

We are in the race of faith and we want to give this life our all. So, it is important that we train just like an athlete that is intent on the prize. As Christians, we need to examine our diet (hint: not talking about food and drink), our training, and look at our coaching. God has equipped us with everything we need, so are you ready to get started?

Jesus has won us an incredible prize. Do you know what it is? Do you understand why this prize is so valuable? It is important to know the answers to these questions because they are eye-opening and life-changing.

Back to school is in the air, on our minds and all over social media. Why? Because our kids' education is a big deal. As we launch into a new year of academics and extra curricular activities, let's stop and take a step back and look towards the future. What does a successful education look like? Are we taking the right steps towards that goal? How can we keep the right perspective about our kids'...

Is your life marked by unending forgiveness? As Christians, this is how God has called us to live in response to the love and forgiveness he has given to us. This sounds great until we have to do it day after day to people that have wronged us and possibly in terrible ways. So, how do we do it? How do we live as followers of Jesus and offer all unending forgiveness?

Is the phrase "radical love" just Christian jargon, something cool to use for a book title or possibly a podcast? The answer is absolutely not! The love that causes a perfect, holy God to come to earth and give his life to save his wicked, rebellious creation is truly a radical love. The crazy thing is that Jesus now tells us, as Christians, to follow in his footsteps and live this radical love fo...

Can you imagine living a life of unwavering trust in God? The awesome thing is that God hasn't made it an unattainable goal. It simply takes getting into God's Word to remember who he is and the promises he has given to us as his children.

Bad news abounds and sin flourishes. Yet, as Christians, we have an unshakable hope! The Bible reminds us of many important truths that conquer the discouraging lies of Satan. We are equipped to lift our eyes and not just survive this world, but to move forward in boldness, bringing this light and hope to a dark, lost world.
