You may have heard the phrase, "Promises were made to be broken," but we are loved by a faithful God who never breaks His promises. In this episode, we'll talk about some of the promises we see in the Bible and how because of God's character we can stand firm, even when the world feels like it's shifting under our feet. We'll also learn that by being intentional about how we answer "yes" and "no"...

For a lot of us, reading the Bible can often feel like one more thing in a long list of things that we are "supposed to do as good Christians".

Through God's Word, we can begin to see and experience His radical love for us as we learn His heart...

Last episode, we talked about how we not only need to invite God into what we are doing, but we also need to be aware that God might be inviting us into what He is doing.

No matter what you are facing, it is our prayer that you would still be able to experience God's pre...

We've all experienced the sting of rejection at one time or another. Whether it's as a kid not getting picked at recess, as an adult not getting a job promotion, or simply longing for someone to love us the way we love them. No matter what the cause, rejection can leave us feeling like we are not enough and negatively affect how we see ourselves. In this episode, Summer talks with Kristi Fleming,...

We've been talking all month about prayer on our podcast and in our devotional emails. When things are going well, finding the words to express our gratitude to God seems pretty easy.

As summertime wraps up and we head back into the busier rhythms of fall, it's all too easy for our schedules to fill up, while our energy, patience, and peace are emptied out.

What words come to mind when you are asked to describe yourself? How we see ourselves really matters. Our mind is powerful and what we think about ourselves and about God determines so much of how we walk this life--the decisions we make and the way we interact with others. We can turn to God for the truth of our identity because He is the one who knows us better than we know ourselves. He knows u...

Being in community doesn't just benefit us--it has an eternal impact in the Kingdom of God! You play a role in the work that God is doing in the world.  We have a natural tendency to think of our roles in the world as individual ones.
