Monday Musings Podcast

As followers of Christ Jesus left us real authority. Authority to live our lives offensively instead of defensively. Let's spend some time realizing how we got such a privilege in this life.

For almost two thousand years only one person could enter the presence of God to pray, but Jesus’ death gives you and I access at any time, anywhere, and with any request. Yet, how often do we ponder the extravagant privilege of prayer?

The mere thought that we can pray at all times seems impossible. Yet, what if our whispers, our thoughts, our hopes became prayers? It might not be as hard as we think.

We are living in a moment in time where we have become masters at pointing out splinters in others while ignoring the logs in us. What stronghold might your heart need to pay attention to?

Every battle we will face will start in our mind first. So, how do we protect our minds from that thought that can become an action and ultimately a belief? That’s what we are talking about on this Monday morning.

Roman soldiers were accustomed to arrows of fire. They knew how to battle them. It was all in how they used their shield. It might hold something for us in the fiery darts we face.

I've learned in life to follow the peace. What does that mean for our everyday life?

In the armor of a Roman Soldier was a breastplate that protected every vital organ. What are you wearing to protect yours?

Roman soliders' belts held all of their armor together and it's where they hung their sword and shield. Now let's figure out what your belt can do for you.

Need a strategy for the heart of your child? Your marriage? Your calling? There is one... let's talk about how to get it.

What if you got to heaven and realized you had an arsenal against the enemy of your heart and never used it? You don't have to. Let's learn how.

He parted seas. Closed lion’s mouths. Raised the dead. What might He want to do for you?

Did you know the number 20 in Hebrew means “Mouth?” So when we entered 2020, we entered a decade prophetically about our mouth. Yet, so much in the natural has tried to close our mouths. That is no accident. It’s time to open them! Let’s talk about how on today's Monday Musing.

It should be no surprise that a world that doesn’t know Jesus would be moved by fear. But shouldn’t the follower of Christ live differently? So, where is your expectation today? Are you expecting collapse? Hardship? Or are you expecting to see God do mighty things? It might do us all good to stop for a moment on this Monday morning and take a look at who or what we are expecting to make the next m...

I don’t know about you, but often times when I’m reading the Bible I wonder, “Why did you put so much detail in here?” But I think there is something powerful to discover today in those passages we often skip over.

Have you noticed how many labels are flying around lately? It seems if we can label something a name we don’t like then we can discard them. Christians have been labeled with many different names through the years. Maybe you’ve labeled Christians a time or two yourself. What if instead of labeling people so we can cancel them, we got curious about them. Listen today, and maybe you’ll discover some...

Somedays scrolling through Facebook or watching the morning news can convince your heart that darkness has taken over. The death. The division. The disease. But there is a much different way to look at what is happening in these times we are living. Let’s talk about it together, on this Monday morning. And if you know someone else who needs this encouragement, feel free to share.

When is the last time you’ve heard a message on fasting? Many of us have never heard one. However, there is so much to be encountered with Jesus. That is why, I believe, the enemy keeps so many people in the dark about this powerful weapon.

What if you never had to even step on the battlefield? What if you could win the battle without lifting a finger and only by lifting your voice? It might be worth listening to know how others have done it. And if you know someone else going through a battle right now, you might want to share it with them.

Chains of steel. Doors of Bronze. Bars of Iron. Satan can often hold our hearts captive behind any one of these things. But not one of these hold any power against worship!

Worship has a power in spiritual warfare that is often underestimated. Yet in a moment it can release your heart from the heaviness you may be feeling. So take a few minutes today to remind your heart of the power that worship has to change your very trajectory, and if this musing has ministered to you – please share it with a friend.

Do you feel like nothing is working out well right now in your life? That anything that could go wrong is going wrong? Leaving you weary? Confused? Could it be that you’ve stepped outside of His umbrella of protection because you are no longer submitted to His purposes and plans? Living this way limits the power of God’s authority because you are instead trying to live by your own self-sufficiency...

It has become even more clear that the hearts of our children are in a war zone from the womb to the college dorm room and everywhere in between. No greater responsibility exists in this life as a parent than raising our children. If 2020 did anything, it gave us more time as families and allowed us to realize that ultimately the people responsible for the stewardship of their hearts are their par...

Even with a new year there are a lot of battles raging right now. But, you and I as followers of Christ are given some powerful weapons. We do not live in a day and age where we can afford to leave any of our weapons of spiritual warfare on the table. So, we need to be fully awake, fully watching and fully armored for the battles that we face!

No one ever begins a lifestyle of sin by jumping right in. Usually, it happens increment by increment. A poor decision here, a dangerous decision there. Until eventually what was just a moment of the enemy trying to steal from us becomes a place of real destruction in our lives. This picture of the strategy of the enemy is real. However, it doesn’t have to be the end of any of our stories. Why? Bu...
