This episode highlights the importance of mentorship, offering insight into its meaning, its biblical foundation, and how to step into the roles of both mentor and mentee. Scriptures to ponder: Proverbs 27:17- Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.  Proverbs 9:9- Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in le...

The Bible portrays sibling rivalry through stories such as Cain and Abel , Jacob and Esau , Joseph and his brothers , Isaac and Ishmael , and Leah and Rachel . These accounts reveal how jealousy, pride, and favoritism can breed conflict, deceit, and even violence within families. Rivalry is described in Scripture as a “work of the flesh” that causes chaos, dishonors God, and undermines unity among...

In this episode, we explore the dangers of operating with guile. It's important to understand what guile truly is—and to avoid it at all costs. In the Bible, guile refers to deceit, cunning, and dishonesty. It is often contrasted with the virtue of being without guile, which reflects innocence, honesty, and integrity. To be ruthlessly honest with ourselves and others is to live free of guile. Defi...

In this episode we discuss the benefits of being prepared. Preparation reduces anxiety, builds confidence, and helps us accomplish our goals. It is easier to prepare and prevent, than it is to repair and repent. If we plan for the worst and hope for the best we are less likely to experience failures. We prepare because we believe!   Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance. How to prepare… 1. Unde...

In this episode, we discuss the difference between judgement and correction. Judgement is not for improvement, it's a conclusion, whereas correction is for the purpose of improvement.  Accepting correction can be hard and oftentimes we interpret correction as judgement.   Scriptures: Luke 6:37 Romans 14:10-13 Rev. 20:11-13 Hebrews 12:11 II Tim. 3:16 Prov. 3:12 Prov. 15:31-32 It is  important to re...

In this episode, we discuss the relationship between ignorance and ignoring. A good way to be ignorant about something is to ignore it.  By the end of this episode, we hope you learn that ignorance isn't so bliss after all.  Definitions: Ignore : to refrain from noticing or recognizing:  Refuse to take notice of or acknowledge, disregard intentionally. Ignorant : l acking in knowledge or training;...

In this episode we discuss the beauty of leaving and cleaving to God.   We cannot be made the servants of God until we are freed from the power and dominion of sin; we cannot serve two masters so directly opposite one to another as God and sin are.  Cleaving to God is a resignation of ourselves to the service of God and righteousness; to God as our master, to righteousness as our work.   Scripture...

Because cleavage matters!!!  In this episode, we delightfully discuss what the Bible says we need in order to have a successful marriage.   Gen. 2:24 - Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.  To cleave, we must leave; to become one flesh, we must to be selfless.  Definitions: Leave - to go out of or away from, as a place....

This episode is proud to present the Gospel of Jesus Christ! We are excited to share our passion about what the Bible says it takes to be saved, what it means to be saved, what we're actually saved from, and much more.   Notes to consider: What does being saved get you… Forgiveness of Sins – Atonement provided by his sacrifice… penalty paid in full. 13  And you, being dead in your sins and the unc...

In this episode we discuss the beauty of patience and how important it is to have it. We talk about getting married young, raising our six children, getting established as a couple, and our overall mindset while trying to reach our individual goals. In spite of our ups and downs, one thing became apparent, perseverance and patience are necessary for a successful journey. Definitions: Patience - Qu...

In this episode, we discuss the importance of being justified by God. By Him  we obtain a complete justification, for by him a complete atonement was made for sin. We are justified, not only by him as our judge, but by Him as our righteousness.  Our faith leads us to obey His word that leads to justification. We fall short when we try to justify ourselves by trying to do things our way.  Scripture...

In this episode, we discuss the importance of our mindsets during the changing seasons of our lives. We learn that there  is a purpose for the season, who controls the seasons, and  how to  optimize our present seasons.   Time: (measure) A limited period or interval, as between two successive events. Season (marker) Any period or time. A suitable, proper, fitting, or right time. Scriptures:  Galat...

In this episode, we cover the power of having a heart posture of modesty, or humility. It's not about the flex! Poverty does not equal modesty or humility. We can be driven to poverty because of the lack of modesty. A few scriptures to share: Gal. 6:3- For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. Prov. 16:18- Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty s...

Submission is a concept that seems to go against the grain of human nature, and yet we all see the need for it in certain aspects of life. Without submission, things quickly fall into chaos as everyone strives to be in charge. Even though it is sometimes mocked as a sign of weakness, submission is really one of the strongest pillars of a stable society. Scriptures: James 4:7 I Peter 5:5 Matthew 26...

Liar, Gossipers, Backbiters, and Talebearers...OH MY!!! In this episode we explore how being one of these individuals can have a negative impact on you as well as others.

Proactive people are value driven. They are still influenced by external stimuli (physical, social, or psychological) but their response is a value-based choice or response. They believe they are responsible for their own lives and our behavior is a function of our decisions, not our conditions.  "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" by Stephen R. Covey    Proactive sayings from Proverbs-...

Jeremiah 29:11 says "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."  We're just taking a trip down memory lane through our 20s, 30s, and early 40s discussing how we had to come to understand that God has an expected end.  In order to see the fulfilment of His plan in our lives we must stay focused and stay the cour...

 After Adam and Eve sinned, what was once perfect, was now corrupted spiritually, mentally, and physically.   In this episode we discuss  the types of healing, who is the healer,  how we gain access to His healing power,  and the most powerful healing there is...conversion.   Scriptures: Jeremiah 17:14 Psalm 107:20 Luke 4:18-19 (Isaiah 61:1-3) Matthew 13:14-16 Matthew 10:7-8 Host of examples...(fi...

In this episode we discuss the power of weakness.  This strength comes from our confession of dependance on God. When we are strong in abilities or resources we are tempted to do God's work on our own and that can lead to pride.  When we are weak, by allowing God to fill us with his power, we are stronger than we could ever be on our own.  Scriptures: 1. Matthew 26:41- Watch and pray, that ye ente...

To consign means to hand over, deliver formally/officially, or to transfer to another's custody or charge.  Two words that are synonymous with consign is commit and entrust.  1 Peter 5:7  says that we should give all of our cares to God because he cares about us.  In this episode we will be exploring what it means to consign our cares over to God... the good, the bad, and the in between.  The cons...

In this episode we discuss the contrasts of the worldly and biblical view of love for all mankind.  While there are some similarities, the biblical view takes us further than we're able to go on our own.  We need God's help to live and demonstrate a mature love that's in alignment with his Word. World View : Self-centered, temporal, measured, romanticized, emotional, sensual, reckless. (influenced...

In this episode we discuss the power of the mind and the journey to transformation and renewal. Points to ponder: Everything starts with a thought, but the thought proceeds from the mind. The right mindset is vital to victorious living. It is important for us to come to grips with the fact that your life will not get straightened out until your mind does. Satan attempts to set up "Strongholds" in...

In this episode, we discuss the power, benefits, and operations of meekness.  Additional points to ponder: Meekness is one of the fruit of the Spirit that often gets lost in today's culture due to our aggressive, self-centered society. Meekness is essentially an attitude or quality of heart whereby a person is willing to accept and submit without resistance to the will and desire of someone else....

From exotic vacations, to meditation, pursing peace is a big business in high demand.  It is  important to know the difference of worldly peace and the peace that God gives.   Scriptures:  Ps. 34:14 John 14:26-27 Phil. 4:6-7 Isa. 26:3 Romans 8:6 Heb. 13:20-21 I Thes. 5:23-24 Peace is part of the fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22) True peace is not found in positive thinking, in absence of conflict, o...
