Send us Fan Mail The old, "Are you gonna fish or just cut bait?" question is presented to each of us at different times in our lives. How we answer that "question" often affects how we will live our lives for many days, weeks, months, even years to follow. Like most of you,  I am a true, blue, washed in the blood of Jesus, bona fide filled with and led by the Spirit of God  per...

Send us Fan Mail One thing Jesus never did when telling a story was to "pull their leg". You know, tell them "a whopper", "pull the wool overe their eyes",  or do the old "just kidding" move. He knew how and when to laugh, cry, get angry, etc. He never tried to trick someone into doing something. He came to express what our heavenly Father is really like......

Send us Fan Mail One morning you go to start your car and it won't turn over. You get a jump start and let it run for a couple of minutes to charge up but your car runs out of gas. That is pretty extreme on one hand. On the other hand it makes for a great illustration regarding life on Earth... it can be, is and will be like this until Jesus returns. ..Earth is a drain on all of us. Earth, th...

Send us Fan Mail What happens when you run out of your own abilities, time and options?  We live in a world that, by nature, is a drain on our minds, emotions, bodies and spirits. We can get drained by doing absolutelty nothing except waking up and working like normal. It's like living in a coal mine. We get coal dust on us just by being in the mine. We can get drained just by living in a bro...

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever run out of gas or had a battery get low and die on you? I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. The same can be true of us spiritually. We run out of gas or get drained by the sheer fact that we live in a world that has that affect on us. How does one go about getting refilled up or recharged? We provide a couple of tipson that very thing in this episode....

Send us Fan Mail Walk straight and fly right... The things we get to do now are so much, more meaningful than the things we don't do anymore. However, that's not to say that getting rid of old ways of doing things is always comfortable or without some backlash. The small price we pay for eliminating things so that our lives align with God and be filled with His Life and His Spirit is min...

Send us Fan Mail God's peace, the type of peace that He has, is available to us. God's peace that is imparted to us who are in Christ is stronger/greater than any external pressure/storm that comes our way. How that is activated is a great tool to have in today's world. I literally don't (or at least I try real hard to remember) leave home without it... Support the show Loving...

Send us Fan Mail When you think about it, we all have a variety of ways we speak without saying a word out loud. A nod, a smile, making a face at a baby, our presence, our moods, etc. God is a Being that has the same abilities and more... other than audible communication. In fact, it seems like most of the things in life are non-verbal boith with us and with God. It's just that we live in a n...

Send us Fan Mail What we do today may not be seen or fully developed for years. It takes time. Sometimes we forget about the fact that what we say and do is like planting seeds. They/it grows. We can also forget that we have intentionally "planted/sown" something good in life and only to find out that years later it has developed into something absolutely amazing. Sowing into the future....

Send us Fan Mail There is no right side or wrong side to getting out of bed. The fact of the matter is, we all have challenges in life that we don't like and they can come our way and stay. How they impact us or we impact them is up to me and you. God has already decided on how to handle things and has offered to us His solution. So, what's it going to be? Is it going to be just a bad da...

Send us Fan Mail It's an amazing place, that space between our temples/ears. I have accomplished a lot of stuff without ever leaving my couch, or so I imagined. I have had fights, made the winning goal, flew around the world in an old abandon car... all in my head. Our thought life is something worth looking into for another few minutes. Let's see what's on the menu for this episode...

Send us Fan Mail We could go on for days, weeks, lifetimes for that matter, addressing this thing we call, "Anger". This episode is much like telling yourself stuff you already know but might have neglected to live out or have forgotten. Regardless, this is a brief rundown of how anger impacts our lives on a relational level. I hope it scratches an itch for you or helps you, and those wh...

Send us Fan Mail It's amazing the various types and containers spiritual growth in our lives comes in. I, personally, never would have chosen or imagined "Thanksgiving" as being one of the big ones. It's huge! I invite you to kick back and review a couple of things in life along with me and the rest of the other folks "around the house". Support the show Loving Yeshua...

Send us Fan Mail We grow spiritually by telling others our story. What's your story? Someone both wants and needs you to share your story with them. ask God to help you put together a story of how you got to where you are today.

Send us Fan Mail It's pretty amazing to think how the diffculties and hardships that I have previously experienced are now part of the true story of the loving, powerful intervention and deliverance God in his goodness has given to me. He has done what I was incapable of doing... setting me free from destructive forces that were stronger than me. Praise God! That's what this episode is a...

Send us Fan Mail The thing about life is... It's so. it's so, daily. Living for the next event or living for the weekend can lead to burnout real quick. What we do with the other 364 days out of the year make today very a important day. The key to living a healthy growing spiritual life, throughout our life, is found in the Word/Heart of God. I hope you will find a healthy dose of that T...

Send us Fan Mail The internal and external devastation, pain and brokeness a person encounters in life has one distinct, common feeling: I don't think I can take "it" anymore. If you know about this personally or know someone who is experiencing the pain of being broken hearted and let down in life please take this or share this episode in hopes that it will provide a little (or a l...
