The number one question people ask about life is simple: “Why am I here?” And honestly, who better to ask than the One who made us?

What real examples would you give—times He guided you, comforted you, or kept you from making a bad decision? In thi...

In this episode, we take a brief look at David. The Bible describes him as a "man after God's own heart." He was a skilled musician, a songwriter, poet and a humble man - but also a valiant leader/warrior who wasn't afraid to spill the blood of the enemies of Israel. What can we take away from his example that will make us valiant leader/warriors in the spiritual realm today?

In this brief episode I want to share an edifying tip to help you get off to a good start in 2026 as well share some important updates about Hope Signals.

If we're going to find the more we are built for, it's imperative that we deal with the negative labels life puts on us. Sometimes these labels come from other people but sometimes we put negative labels on ourselves. We need to walk in the identity God gives us once we've come to faith in Jesus. Moreover, we need to be an accurate representation of His love, mercy and grace for others...

Yet, the Bible gives us a path for fruitfulness even in old age. The Proverbs tells us the...
