Let's Be Cleere

It's not super romantic to think about having to "stay" when we are ready to GO! Going is more fun, more adventurous, more impressive, right? But sometimes, it is the places we want to run from that God is most using to refine us. As we learn to stay in His presence and learn His heart, we are reminded that we can always trust the preparation of the King. There is great promise and purpose where H...

We all want the pretty house and the completed projects-- it feels good, looks impressive, and helps us feel good about our current state of affairs. However, our Heavenly Father is so not worried about how things appear-- His concern is the state of our hearts. How are we really doing? Is there an issue, struggle, relationship, or thought pattern that we need restoration in but we are fearful to...

What does it mean to be rooted in Jesus? How do we cultivate deep roots so that when the storms of life come, we won't be afraid, worried, or insecure? Being rooted is ultimately the greatest desire of our lives-- to know that no matter what, we have security and certainty in where we stand. That is what Jesus offers and His well does not run dry but there are practical steps that help us rip out...

Movement-- the literal act of moving our bodies-- is obviously necessary to keep us alive. Well, when it comes to moving towards God, it is also what keeps us alive! Physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, etc. We can not operate in faith or receive the abundant life He has promised us if we do not move towards Him. It doesn't have to be massive steps; rather, it's often the daily, hand-to...

JOY!!! The word alone sounds like what it means, doesn't it!? But I think sometimes we feel like joy is this elusive feeling that is unattainable for us or is dependent upon certain circumstances coming to fruition. However, the kind of joy that Jesus offers has nothing to do with our how, our what, or our when-- it has everything to do with our who. WHO are we seeking to find our joy? We will dig...

We talk about prayer, we pray before we eat, and we hear about prayer. But do we really believe that God hears us? And if He does, does He care? Is He really for our lives? In this episode we dig into the truth, power, and supernatural perspective that prayer provides. It really is our lifeline. Buy the "Focus: How One Word a Week will Transform Your life" devotional that goes along with this podc...

"Let go and let God." We know the phrase and we even understand the power of it, but often the reality of our lives and the hardness of our habits meets us on the other side and we don't quite know what to do with it. And what do we let go? And when? And when we do let go, how do we know we will be okay? What if what God is asking us to release is keeping us temporarily secure, even if it's unheal...

Do you feel like you are running around like a chicken with your head cut off at all moments? Physically exhausted, emotionally drained, and spiritually lacking. Or maybe you feel like you need to get a little pep in your step and you're struggling with gaining the momentum or motivation to take a step forward? As we dig into this word "pace", we see that we were never supposed to let the world, o...

How often do you really allow silence to be the background? I mean, true silence. Not the kind where we are sorting through a mental checklist while music plays in the background but the kind that can feel deafening and uncomfortable. The truth about silence is that it often strips of any language and distraction and forces us to realize our own need-- Where are we really at? What is God saying? S...

I don’t think many of us would walk around claiming that we aren’t living “honest lives.” But do we really understand what that means? Jesus defines honesty way differently than we do- what does He have to say? And if we truly believe that His way is best, what keeps us from doing so? In this episode, we will dig deep into several things that prevent us from honesty and several ways we can begin t...

It's the story of our lives: We all fear that what we have is too little. It's not enough to truly make a difference, right? However, we see that all throughout scripture, amidst the stories of the Bible, and in our everyday experiences, it is our LITTLE + God's supernatural power that makes A LOT of difference. And what about those little sins that we let fester, slowly letting them suck the life...

Lots of voices. So many options. The pressure we feel. The fears that come knocking. The life we had planned. All of it— it’s so much— how do we find clarity at the intersections of life and amidst our daily happenings? In a world that tries to convince us Jesus is confusion, we dig into the different things that HELP and HINDER our clarity. How can we find the answers we are looking for? It is pr...

When it comes to everything in our lives, timing is always related. When will it happen? Am I behind in life? Should I go after this goal now? Am I ready to handle that particular thing? Why isn't my prayer getting answered right now? Digging into what Scripture tells us about the timing of God, we are reminded of the treasures of trusting in His timing. We will grab the plow together in this epis...

We all have this gap between our actual selves and our ideal selves-- the gap that we work, strive, and exhaust ourselves trying to close on our own. We tend to fall prey to the lies that if we had more _____, we would experience fulfillment. When we arrive on the mountaintop, THEN we will partner with God and get courageous about where He is calling us, right?! However, we see it in Scripture and...

What does it mean to really seek God? In our distracted and self-focused culture, sometimes we confuse desiring a solution with seeking God. As we lean in and learn His heart, we realize that we can trust His ways. The details of our lives may remain a mystery for now but the presence of the One leading us? He is absolute. What we seek, we find. And as we seek Him, we find everything else. He orde...

A new year brings renewed desire to set goals and establish better habits. But what if the secret is not found in our goals and is based on the rhythms we set for our lives? Are your current rhythms aligned with the person you hope to be and the legacy you hope to leave? If not, why? As we dig into this word, we will set up some helpful boundaries, questions, and tools to equip us to build a found...

How often do we let the roadblocks of offense, bitterness, and shame get in our way? Jesus tells us time and time again that forgiveness is not an option; it is a command. A necessity. It is the only way to usher in freedom— to walk in the very forgiveness we have been offered and to freely give it to others. Digging into this topic, we will talk through several practical ways we can practice forg...

Carly tells us all about the determination it took to be hopeful in the country music scene, the lessons she has learned along the way, and what God opened her eyes to in 2020. She even graciously opened up about h...

Sounds dramatic to say that we are the ones who decide whether we walk in life or death but Scripture tells us time and time again— we get to choose: Will we experience life and trust God or will we invite death by reaching for control? In our daily actions, reactions, and everyday happenings, we are constantly deciding whether we invite life or death. It is easy to see how big, significant decisi...

We protect what we believe is valuable, important, and significant. Jesus tells us to keep alert because the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, waiting for something to devour. Do we take this seriously? When we vigilantly protect, we victoriously prevail. When it comes to our daily lives, we must be alert to the many ways that the enemy does everything he can to take our joy, our faith, our...

2020 has felt like one big setback for a lot of people. But guess what?! God is always calling us, helping us, and guiding us in advancing His Kingdom. What does it look like to advance in the unique and powerful ways God is asking of us where we are??? As we dig into this question and uncover some of the enemy’s tactics, we are reminded that victory is always our as we move with His mission in mi...

Is it true that when we believe in Jesus, we are given a brand new identity? What does this mean for our lives? What if we still crave the old ways and the comfortable places we were before? We dig into the transformation that ONLY Jesus provides. The Word gives us practical ways to invite this transformation into our lives and to truly grasp what it means to be changed from the inside out. The ol...

Authority is not often the word that we think of when we are imagining why we are struggling — BUT what would happen if we realized the authority of Heaven, the authority of Jesus, and the authority of the Holy Spirit inside of us? Would everything change? Maybe instead of praying for our circumstances to change, we start praying for help to walk in the identity and authority we have already been...
