It's That Simple: Faith, Love, Family

How often do you remember every aspect of your life?  If you are like most people, your memory remembers bits and pieces and the more time that passes, the more you forget or generalize.  Written word is a gift that God has given us to record those memories.  We have taken that for granted as a general faith community.  Due to that, many great acts of God are forgotten or never shared.  If we reco...

As we get closer to God, our life has moments where we focus on Him and realize He is EVERYWHERE.  Where we once saw trees, we see God’s majesty.  Simple tasks become life lessons.  If we truly let Him in, the Holy Spirit dwells within us and daily tasks and events have so much more meaning.  On this week’s episode, Adam talks about how we see God more clearly the closer we get to Him. Scripture:...

Walk down the streets of America in most major areas and what do you see?  You see people looking down.  You see people on their phones.  People generally avoiding eye contact with anyone around.  Now, imagine walking down a street where each person was looking up and greeting those they met on the street.  That would be pretty amazing!  You would be shocked to see how far a simple smile and greet...

We live in a world that tells us that we need to get to the top…often times, encouraging us to do it on our own.  If you manage to get there, you will notice you will struggle.  You will have challenges.  You will eventually fall down.  But, if we depend on our family in Christ to support us, we will be stronger, we will be unbreakable and able to accomplish amazing things! Scripture: ⁠Ecclesiaste...

Rain is powerful.  It can cause the land to flourish, but it can also cause changes in people’s demeanor.  When that happens, we have an important choice to make.  Do we lean on THE LIGHT or do we give in and live with and in the darkness?  I don’t think the choice is too hard.  The question really is, will we do it?  Will we have the faith needed?

How often have we tried and tried, but failed in creating on starting something in our lives? Most people have probably lost count.  That is because we so often do things the way of man, not the way of God: putting man first when we should do it for God.  Because… “If focus is on God, great things happen.  Man can try, but he can't stop God.  God always wins.”  Join the “It’s That Simple Podca...

Christianity is the world's largest religion, with almost 32% of or 2 billion people identifying as Christian.  The question we have to ask ourselves is, “Am I truly a Christian and living like a follower of Jesus OR am I just wearing a mask and pretending in different places that I am?” That is a question that can change lives…for the better or for the worse. On this episode of the “It’s That...

These days a lot of people float through life and just let it happen.  Being a Christian doesn’t follow that ideal.  As Christians, we are to step up and lead for Jesus.  As we do that, He will call on us to do even more.  The world will see us stepping up and want to know why and how we’re are doing so.  We will be able to quite simple say, “It is because of Jesus.”  On this episode of the “It’s...

It is always crazy for me to think and understand that Jesus came to the world to serve.  He is God, yet He wanted to be a servant to the people He created and loved.  That is amazing love!  He does this to serve us, but also to set the example of how we are to lead our lives.  Sometimes, that means doing something you don’t want to do.  What you will learn is that through serving you will be more...

On July 4th we celebrate America’s freedom from England and becoming the greatest nation in the world!  As a country, we have had our ups and downs, but we are still a place of great freedom!  But….our freedoms in America are nothing compared to the freedom we get thanks to Jesus and his sacrifice on the cross!  America’s freedoms are finite, while freedom with Jesus is infinite and eternal!  Join...

Life is one big, exciting story.  Each of us has a story that is unique.  All of our stories have ups and downs, happiness and sadness, trials and tribulations…but, all our stories take place in God’s world.  If we listen to God and let Him use our stories, we can do great things for the Kingdom.  Thing is…we have to tell them for this to happen.   Scripture: 2 Corinthians 3:1-6 Do you want to sha...

Marriage is a gift from God.  Marriage is also hard.  Two people together for their lifetime.  This week I celebrate 18 years of marriage to my wonderful wife Mallory.  This is only by the grace of God and because we made a covenant with him.  That covenant and our God is stronger than anything on this earth and is what makes our marriage strong.  Join the “It’s That Simple Podcast” for a discussi...

You have heard it said that we live in a dark world.  Well, there is darkness…but, there is LIGHT!  THE Light that was sent down for us!  The world has been illuminated due to Jesus.  We have to make sure we don’t retreat into the shadows and stay out of His light.  We need to love the Light and live in it.  When we do, our lives will be shining examples of Him.  Join the “It’s That Simple Podcast...

Each day you step out the door people see you.  They see the good you do.  They see the bad you do.  With each step you take, you represent yourself, your family, your profession, and, most importantly, your faith.  If you are a follower of Jesus, whenever people see you, they will see Jesus.  So, each day, we need to strive to be Jesus to the world in all our words and deeds.  If we do that, the...

It is hard to navigate this world as a Christian.  We are to be in the world not of the world.  While in this world we will come across many people who will try to deceive us.  Often times we think of deceivers as people who are out to get us, or hate us, when actually they could be right in front of us.  We need to be diligent, listen to God when people talk, and beware false teachers who will de...

‭Are you comfortable in life?  Are you just going through the motions and doing what you need to do carry on and live life?  When we get comfortable, God has a way of getting us out of our comfort zone and into someplace unfamiliar. It can be very scary, but you can guarantee that God will never lead you into something that is intended to do evil.  Remember God is Good and all He does in and throu...

We do many things each day.  Some days we do nothing.  The real question we need to start asking every day as we are living life is why?  Why are we doing what we do?  Is it to make us feel good?  Is it to make us happy?  Is it to keep up with the Jones’?  OR do we just feel that is how life should be?  That mentality was turned upside down 2000 years ago when Jesus of Nazareth walked this earth a...

The church is an interesting place.  People claim to be a member of the church when we should be claiming to be followers of Jesus.  We are too busy being Methodists, Lutherans, Catholics, etc when really we should be Jesus Followers.  In doing so we often get bogged down in religion.  What we need to remember is something amazingly simpler….JESUS is GREATER than religion.  Religion will bog you d...

Who we surround ourselves with is very important.  It can determine the path we take in life. We must surround ourselves with people who will feed into us positively and encourage us on our faith walk.  When you do that, you belong to a great community and are better prepared to do the work that God intends for you to do with your life.  Join “It’s That Simple” as we discuss the importance of a ci...

In today’s society people claim to be unique, when really they are just doing what everyone else is doing.  Most of us are just common people who want something else.  What many don’t realize is that something else is Jesus and if we take a stand with and for Him, we will become Uncommon people who are truly unique, but amazingly powerful armed with serving hearts and love! Scripture: Romans 12 SP...

We live in a world where everyone is searching for their happiness.  When we find it we realize that happiness is only temporary.  It feels great in the moment, but then it is gone or replaced.  There is something greater than happiness.  It is Joy and there is only one place we can find joy…that is in Jesus.

We live in the greatest time of literacy in human history.  We have access to so much text, but so often we ignore it.  We have the greatest piece of literature ever in the Holy Bible as well as many, many books written about faith that can help us get closer to Jesus. All we need to do is open a book as discussed in this week’s “It’s That Simple Podcast Scripture: Luke 6:37-45 ; 2 Timothy 3:16-17...

In our faith walk we can often get complacent.  Many times, we say we will try to do our best, which will lead to failure, lack of focus, or neglect of the task.  BUT….if we focus our minds and train ourselves, we will be focused on God and sharing his work and love with the world!  On this episode of “It’s that Simple”, Adam will discuss how and why we should train ourselves in faith vs just tryi...
