In this episode, we dive into the power and purpose found in the name of Jesus. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus didn’t just offer us salvation—He established His authority over every power, every dominion, and every spiritual force. Today, He sits on the throne, and His name still carries that same power. But do we truly live like we believe that? I share a personal experience from a Bib...

In this episode, I challenge a version of faith that many of us have unknowingly been living — a performance-based Christianity where we feel like we have to measure up, strive harder, and take control to make things happen. But what if that’s not what God ever asked of us? What if our faith was never meant to be about performance… but about position? Rooted in Deuteronomy 31:1–8, we’re reminded o...

Root...

In this episode, we explore a powerful truth: redemption and restoration are found through full submission to God. Walking through Matthew 16:24–27 and James 4:4–10, we talk about what it really means to deny your sinful nature, take up our cross, and follow Jesus. Submission can feel heavy at first — letting go of old ways, resisting the pull of the world, and giving our lives fully to God. But h...

In Part 3 of our series with Tracy Harper, we step into one of the most important parts of our faith journey: getting to know the Holy Spirit. If we want to stand firm and grow spiritually strong, it begins with submission to the Holy Spirit—not just knowing about Him, but truly knowing Him. So who is the Holy Spirit? He is not distant or abstract—He is God with us, active, present, and personal....

In this second episode of our special series with Tracy Harper, we dive into Part Two of her book, From Him, Not Them: Identifying Counterfeit Guides.

In this episode, we talk about what it truly means to wait on the Lord — not passively, but faithfully. Drawing from Psalm 27 and Psalm 37, we explore how waiting is a spiritual discipline that strengthens us in both seasons of struggle and seasons of joy. Waiting builds spiritual muscle. It teaches us patience when answers are delayed, contentment when circumstances don’t change, and trust when G...

In this deeply personal episode, I share my story of going from hopeless to hopeful and the powerful way God transforms our lives by first renewing our minds.  Using Romans 8:5–9, we explore how God governs our thoughts and invites us into a life led by the Spirit rather than controlled by the patterns of this world. Transformation often begins beneath the surface. First, God cultivates the soil o...

And in these moments, two things have...
