Life Journeys

Who or what you relate to the most will determine your course in life. If Jesus is your life, then He defines your identity, and who you are is not what you did today. It’s what Jesus did. Worship is about how you relate to God. When everything seems to be against you, worship will lift you above the darkness. Listen to the short podcast, “Worship That Leads To A Powerful Life” & find your fav...

Don’t be more preoccupied with the human condition than with the divine solution. I can live in a place that God created on earth, or I can live in the God who created all places. He conceals the revelation of His Word in the hiding places of His glory. It’s the secret place every Christian can inhabit. Listen to the short podcast, “No Fear, Live Life In the Secret Place, Ps. 91” & find your f...

America has descended into a feelings-based identity and morality, and it’s altering our faith. Feelings aren’t the foundation of faith, God’s word is. Feelings aren’t a sound indicator of a person’s standing with God, faith is. Don’t use your feelings to tell God what you believe. Living by the Spirit does not mean living by emotions; it means honesty, faith, and surrender. Listen to the short po...

I’ve been threatened by gangs several times while out on the road, both in the states and abroad. I know what it’s like to be homeless for Christ and also, to fail Him. I’ve proved that I can do all things through Christ. He will never leave me or forsake me; and when I’m with Him, nothing is impossible. Listen to the short podcast, “Called To Live In Impossible Places” & find your favorite st...

What I believe in is what I will be influenced by. My circumstances don't have to change for me to be happy! I can be in a prison, hospice, or a dead-end job and still have the peace of God. Neither my guilt, my fear, nor my pain will tell me what to believe when Christ is my great influencer. In Him I’m safe. Listen to the short podcast, “Your Great Influencer When Life Gets Heavy” & find you...

- More influenced by the Word than the world; it loves my enemies because I no longer need anything from them - not doing so is a symptom of slavery to injustice. How? Have more faith in God’s grace than in your own sin. Don’t let the consequences of your sin become bigger than the consequences of the cross. Giving doesn’t come from a full storehouse but from a full heart. Listen to the short podc...

If I need to feel happy to do the right thing, then sadness can lead me to do wrong. Emotions shouldn’t be the rudder that steers my ‘ship.’ Let faith lead he way to the joy of heaven that no man can take. Even if the Sun would cease to shine, it would not mean that God's word is no longer true. Listen to the short podcast, “Velvet Covered Bricks” & find your favorite streaming app for this ep...

Faith that never fails is faith that won’t let our feelings tell us what to believe. Anxiety doesn’t mean we’ve lost our peace with God. Don’t ever let your feelings determine your thoughts. The Bible never said, “By grace you are saved through feelings.” Feelings don’t change the truth. God’s still with you. “Never Again Controlled By Emotions” - Find this short podcast on your favorite streaming...

Love that doesn’t discriminate reveals a heart living in liberty. A hard life doesn’t keep us from loving the unlovely (politician), it's our own heart trouble. When God’s gives you tough love, don’t trust more in your failures as a sign of defeat than you trust in Jesus's success as a sign of your victory. “Giving and Receiving Tough Love” - Find this short podcast on your favorite streaming app...

Without the inner peace that the cross of Christ affords, our life will never be what it’s created to be. Our standing before God both today and forever is one hundred percent the work of Christ alone! When Jesus died for your sin, you died. When He arose, His life became yours. Repent and identify with Him. “No Longer ‘Less Than’” - Find this short podcast on your favorite streaming app at https:...

Do you realize that God chose you before the world began? He made you to be accepted in Christ as one who will be blameless before His throne. By grace alone God chose His elect to receive the glory of Jesus. Why did He choose you? The glory of His grace is far beyond man’s wisdom and works. Listen to, “Overcome Sorrow By Divine Choice” - Find this very encouraging podcast on your favorite streami...

Faith is refined in times of testing. God wants faith in action, not just in words. But when I’ve failed, God won’t fail me. James says that I’m to rejoice in the test, not just when I’ve passed it! Always be honest, for grace and mercy only come in the courtroom of full disclosure. Here’s where faith is perfected. Listen to, “Help, My Faith Just Failed Again” - Find this very encouraging podcast...

Who you are and where you are going has less to do with your choices and more to do with your faith. It’s God’s choice of you that counts. Your choices are about your wisdom and glory, and that’s not secure enough for eternity. Your faith is about your heart and the glory of God, whereby you are safe. Listen to, “Chosen and Safe By God’s Glory and Grace” - Find this very encouraging podcast on you...

God allows suffering in the world, and it doesn’t mean He doesn’t exist. We have hope because He does exist. The cross reveals God’s true relationship to evil and suffering. The resurrection shows ultimate victory is on the way. God allows suffering because man allows it. Evil exposes the need for a Savior. Listen to, “Hope - It’s Just A Matter of Time” - Find this short podcast on your favorite s...

The affairs of the earth are determined by a man’s relationship to the glory of God. We’re created and called to live in God’s glory. We can overcome the manipulation of temptation and fear when we live in God’s presence. If you’ve had enough of ‘you,’ learn to be a ‘keeper’ of God’s temple within. You can overcome manipulation, temptation, and fear by “The Call of The Cherubim” - Find this short...

God often delivers us from fear by leading us to something far more valuable than the treasures we've worried about. He gives us Himself!! He removes earthly preoccupations with a majestic heavenly preoccupation!! When the human heart is captivated by God’s glory, it is free, and nothing is impossible. “Be It Done Unto Me According To Thy Word” - Find this short podcast on your favorite streaming...

Jesus showed us the kind of a life that we can live when he is the determiner of our existence, blessing, and happiness - “Love your enemies so I can continue to meet your every need.” It’s not the injustice against us that does the most harm. It is our own preoccupation with justice instead of grace. The great tragedy is not that people sin. It’s that we sin against the remedy for sin.  “Activati...

The great purpose of faith is not that we can obtain everything that we ask. It’s about not giving up when all seems lost. Those “of whom the world was not worthy” by faith were “made strong, waxed valiant in fight, being destitute, afflicted, and tormented.” Such receive and give great grace. Listen to the short podcast, “The Price And Promise of Great Faith” & find your favorite streaming ap...

Faith doesn’t worry about what’s unfair. It just never gives up. What’s just is established by grace, not demands. A heightened sense of justice will confound our faith and our soul. Performance oriented living breeds deception and spiritual defeat. By grace alone does the heart thrive with no sorrow in it. Listen to the short podcast, “When Life Is Unfair, Keep The Faith” & find your favorite...

Everything that you close the door to that would destroy the Kingdom of God in your life, heaven shall stand with you. You don’t have to be defeated by suffering, corruption, and hardships! You can bind up their power over your soul and find the joy of the Lord in the storm that this world is experiencing! Listen to the short podcast, “Heavens Keys To Your Divine Potential” & find your favorit...

Mountain moving faith sees God as a greater reality than the mountains in our life. It is being influenced by God and His word more than by the world. But, before our faith moves a mountain, it needs to move us. When faith releases the presence of God, His Spirit begins to increase our faith exponentially. Listen to the short podcast, “What Mountain Moving Faith Is Like” & find your favorite s...

Ancient Israel’s trial wasn’t about the trial, but to establish true freedom from captivity. The bitter water wasn’t about the water. Would they be committed to Him no matter what? Life doesn’t work by our best efforts. God’s purpose in trials is not to focus on our failures and faults but to bring us to His grace. Listen to the short podcast, “From Victims To Victors” & find your favorite str...

Faith begins with believing who God is before it believes in what He will do. It is living by the power of Christ instead of self, and that results in answered prayer! Before God does something for us, He will do something in us. You’re chosen to bear fruit resulting in answered prayers, not ‘make a wish’ petitions. Listen to the short podcast, “Unlocking Impossible Prayer” & find your favorit...

“There they were in great fear where no fear was,” Ps. 53:5. The storm that threatened the disciples in the boat was in greater danger than they were because of the Man in the boat! There’s nothing I can conceive of whereby Jesus would tell them, or you, “You’d be wise to be afraid here.” Listen to the short podcast, “When I Sat On A Rattlesnake!” & find your favorite streaming app for this ep...
