Elevate Your Day with Andi and Brian Hale

Our heart was made to follow the ultimate treasure which is God himself. Don’t Look Back by Lori Singh The scriptures teach us that as a man thinks in his heart so is he (Proverbs 23:7 NIV). If we examined this closer, we could see that most of what we act out in life find its origins in our thoughts. Day after day whatever we ponder on, meditate on and dwell on becomes a reality sooner or later....

Join us as we wrap up this 5 day study on PRIDE and SHAME!

from Pride and Shame on Youversion What truths to do we need to take hold of in order to live a life of humility? First and foremost, we need to take to heart the opening line of Rick Warren’s, The Purpose-Driven Life: “It’s not about you.” This may seem a little, um . . . obvious, but so often in our culture we lose sight of this. Our lives tend to revolve around a planet of one, and anything not...

from Pride and Shame on Youversion What is the radical solution to pride and shame? Humility. Pride leads to disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. ‭‭PROVERBS‬ ‭11:2‬ ‭NLT‬‬ If that doesn’t sound very radical . . . it really is. To be humble in this day and age is to defy all cultural norms. Our society (like most societies in history) holds up performance and public opinion as the two great de...

from Pride and Shame on Youversion “You should be ashamed of yourself!” Ever heard those words before? From a teacher, a parent . . . or perhaps even yourself? Shame (and its close cousin guilt) is one of the most effective tools for emotional manipulation, and while it can have an outwardly positive effect on our behavior (at least in the short run), more often it simply reinforces the negative t...

from Pride and Shame on Youversion The text message from my wife was troubling: “Our son got in trouble three times at school today.” This was very uncharacteristic of him (thankfully), and while part of me wanted to overlook it as an uncommon occurrence, my wife and I both knew that a consequence was needed to drive home the point that his behavior was unacceptable. When he got home from school t...

Finding Our People Find Your People, Day 5 By Jennie Allen Read by Andi and Brian Hale Ephesians 2 tells us that we—you and I and everyone ever to live—were dead in our trespasses and sins and that we were children of wrath, meaning that we deserved for God to send a meteor our way. “But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our tresp...

Find Your People, Day 4 By Jennie Allen Read by Andi and Brian Hale Nothing in my relational life has helped me more than coming to terms with these simple truths: You will disappoint me. I will disappoint you. God will never disappoint us. Accepting this shifts our expectations from people to God. And He can handle our expectations. But because our current world has been built on such rampant ind...

We Are at War Find Your People, Day 3 By Jennie Allen Read by Andi and Brian Hale So if this plan is so good for us, why don’t we just prioritize this plan, fight for this plan, and make this plan unfold every day of our lives? Two words: the enemy. If deep, loving, intimate connection is God’s goal, then the enemy might hate nothing more than for you and me to enjoy deep, loving, intimate connect...

The Center of Our Affections By Jennie Allen Read by Andi and Brian Hale The fact that we were made in the image of God, who is relationship, means our longing for healthy, mutually submissive, supportive, interdependent relationships aren’t simply us craving something good for us, like vegetables or vitamins; we are craving the fundamental reason we were created. We weren’t just built for communi...

By Jennie Allen Read by Andi and Brian Hale Loneliness. Do you feel it too? That sinking feeling that you aren’t seen, you aren’t known, and you are on your own to face whatever difficult thing life is throwing at you. Do you ever wonder if maybe you’re the only person who feels this alone? You aren’t, by the way. You aren’t alone in feeling alone. I struggle with loneliness more than I like to ad...

From Be the Hand and Feet by Nick Vujicic Who did you bring with you? Read by Andi and Brian Hale I have this recurring dream that one day I will be standing before God, and He will ask me two questions.  The first: “Do you know Me?” The second: “Who did you bring with you?  I think the first question is asked to establish a Christian identity. The second is to see if I’ve done what is the primary...

From Be the Hands and Feet by Nick Vujicic A Mission to Love Read by Andi and Brian Hale Sometimes nonbelievers are experienced at debating. They want to test the authenticity of your beliefs. For natural opportunities to tell others about Jesus, you have to be prepared and knowledgeable on some level. At the same time, don’t be fooled into thinking that God cannot use you even if you lack underst...

From Be the Hands and Feet by Nick Vujicic Read by Andi and Brian Hale Inspiring others to become Christians requires reaching out and motivating people to think about the importance of God in their lives, but you have to be prayerfully wise about your communication. You have to adjust your approach to each individual because we all have different personalities and experiences. Too many people hav...

From Be the Hands and Feet by Nick Vujicic Read by Andi and Brian Hale My natural progression into serving as the hands and feet of Jesus included some early “walking around” Christianity—with a dog. Starting when I was seventeen years old, I would go out in my wheelchair to take our dog for a walk and strike up conversations with almost everyone I met. I don’t know whether it was the cuteness of...

From Be the Hands and Feet By Nick Vujicic Read by Andi and Brian Hale You might be wondering, How can a person born without any limbs consider himself to be the hands and feet of Jesus on earth?  I agree, hands down, that this is a very good question. I asked myself the same thing many times as I was growing up. What purpose could God have for a man with no limbs?  These words from Saint Teresa o...
