Life Journeys
God's purpose for life's trials can bring us into our finest hour. Pastor Hartikka has spent over 40 years seeking to make sense out of the hard times. The trial is never about the trial. The Christian life is a journey that leads us to be the best that God has in store for us. Hard times are the canvas upon which He paints a life purpose of victory.

Relief When I’ve Fallen So Far 12.07.2025 14:33
I must have faith that Christ can light up the tombs of this world where my carnal life is entangled in powerlessness. Instead of finding despair and defeat, His light will surely prevail. Brought to the edge of despair, my Shepherd led me into the valley of the shadow of death to show me how to fear no evil.

Marriage, the Model for How Life Works 05.07.2025 12:47
As in marriage, American unity won't work by demanding what we think we deserve. When a man is trying to find his inner needs through his wife instead of from God, he’s made an idol out of her that she can never live up to. Life with dignity and respect works by grace verses our heightened sense of justice. Click https://bit.ly/m/Life-Journeys to find a list of your favorite platforms for this p...
When the Christian Life Seems Impossible 28.06.2025 14:55
It takes something supernatural to live the life we were born for. Jesus pleads our cause on the grounds of justice as One who died for us. He can say nothing good of us that will win the day. He alone restores us into divine favor. We’ll never arrive at a place where we no longer need a Savior.

When "Nevertheless" Becomes A Supernatural Word 21.06.2025 17:46
Every nagging jab that eats the soul away little by little until nothing’s left is where supernatural life can begin. Never say, “I did good. Why's this happening?” Only your cross can bring you indestructible life. It’s not found in your features or flaws. Your cross is the beginning, not the end.

The Truth About Christianity 14.06.2025 15:14
We were born that way, but we don’t have to die that way. It’s called sin. We’ve all got it, and there is a Savior. We can live by faith instead of being led by feelings. This is not Pride Month; it’s called June. One problem - too many preachers are telling us what to do, and too few are preaching the power of faith.
Don’t Be Afraid of Anything 07.06.2025 15:06
It is not the presence of life's storms that defeats us; it is the absence of Christ's presence. Don’t act like you don't have a Savior! Suffering doesn’t mean God has something against you. Seek Him until you find Him. It's that simple, really. Every time you entertain fear, you’re allowing your heart to defy His promises.
No Longer Manipulated By Emotion 31.05.2025 12:30
What do I fear? What do I want? Fears and hopes become the substance of what is truly ruling my life. Faith that doesn't set me free is usually blocked by an idol that is demanding I serve it. Fear, sorrow, or anger are signs of an idol manipulating and dominating me. Turning from it will release my faith.

You Can Rediscover Your Hope 24.05.2025 14:53
God’s best for us is not what things He can give. His best is giving Himself to us. Too many people have tried to apprehend the love of God in the suffering in their world yet haven’t, because God isn't bigger to them than their world is. Have faith that Christ will light up the darkest tombs in your life. Click https://bit.ly/m/Life-Journeys to find a list of your favorite platforms for this pod...
Patience - It's About The Power of God 17.05.2025 17:10
You’ve been given all you need to be all that God’s called you to be. But your faith must be tested in the fire to produce the patience you need to love with. Don’t fret. Refining doesn’t mean failure. Your heaviness in faith’s season of testing will end in joy that is unspeakable and full of glory forever.

Behold The God Who Promised You 10.05.2025 16:12
"Lord, I’ve been shaken like a leaf. How can I relate to you, you’re so big?” "Just jump in," He said! "Stop trying to figure out how I work. Trust Me. Don’t act like I’m no bigger than your thoughts. You measure speed and distance by the speed of light. I can walk faster than that! I’m much bigger than your problems.”
When Crucifixion Gets Personal 03.05.2025 15:01
Kingdom life begins where carnal life ends. My despair over my failures is the crucifixion that begins His resurrection in me. I may think God is disappointed in me until I realize it’s just failed faith in myself. When I’ve hit bottom and am empty, God can start filling me up with His life. I can resign as manager of the universe!
When You Can't Believe 26.04.2025 16:43
The trauma of a life tragically altered numbs the senses until faith seems impossible. God takes the outrageous things of life, like the crucifixion, and He turns them all into seeds of eternal victory! A firestorm is a sign of impending divine intervention. He builds faith in places of impossibilities. Click https://bit.ly/m/Life-Journeys to find a list of your favorite platforms for this podc...

God Is In Control - Think Bigger 12.04.2025 15:39
One day the Sun went backwards in the sky to show there really is an all-powerful, all-loving God! “I’m here, I’m in control, and I’m going to help you!

Crowned with Glory and Honor 05.04.2025 15:39
Sometimes I spend too much time thinking about who I’m not instead of who I am. To deny who I am is to deny who Christ is, for He gave His life to me. My sin and unbelief have kept me from the fulfillment of self-esteem, not my lack of accomplishments. God has crowned us with glory and honor.

Fear Worships the Darkness 29.03.2025 14:00
I’ve been created to believe God. I don't have the right to doubt Him. To do so is to abuse myself and accuse God of being a hypocrite. It creates despair, fear, and anger over life's problems. Chronic sorrow says our pain is greater than God's power. Faith is the only way I can function as I am created to be.

A Legacy of Grace Forged In the Fire 22.03.2025 18:00
Jacob said, “Surely God is in this place, and I didn’t know it.” His story showed us that God will use our hardships to weave the covenant of grace that defines our life purpose. We don’t have to be perfect by any means to fulfill our destiny. Our God given legacy is a message to our families and the world.

Turning Suffering Into Revelation Life 15.03.2025 11:36
When I get bogged down, I know this one thing - I'm living my life instead of His! Suffering is God's invitation to come into His throne room and overcome.

Why Am I Being Attacked 05.03.2025 14:41
Trials will prove if we will live by God’s word, be governed by Him, and trust Him or not. He’s looking for acts of faith, not merely confessions. Satan will say, "If you’re right with God, you wouldn't be facing me," and that's one of the great lies. Just because there is a battle doesn't mean you have failed.

The Secrets of Fear 01.03.2025 14:37
Faith is preoccupied with God’s intentions. Fear is preoccupied with men’s plans. God loves us enough to cause us to face our fears, for fear can keep us from the remedy for sin – honesty in the secret places of our souls.
