Our tongue is small but our words are powerful. The words we use can really hurt or bless and encourage the world around us.

Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness, And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

“In order to communicate rationally and successfully with anyone, you have to make sure they’re regulated, make sure they feel a relationship with you, and only then try to reason with them.” —Dr. Bruce Perry

All the believers were united in heart and mind. And they felt that what they owned was not their own, so they shared everything they had. The apostles testified powerfully to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and God’s great blessing was upon them all. There were no needy people among them, because those who owned land or houses would sell them and bring the money to the apostles to give to tho...

Loving people requires practice. It takes perseverance, patience and perspective.

I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. - John 10:14-15

“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.” —Matthew 22:36-40, ESV

Expect opposition. It comes in a voice, a person or temptation.

Identify the need God is revealing, investigate to understand the best approach for meeting the need, collaborate to accomplish what God is asking of you and persevere when you encounter resistance!

Be on the lookout for divine interruptions, identify your holy discontent, and pray big and bold prayers.

Flex your spiritual muscles gently, choose your theological hills biblically, and pursue the Lordship of Christ daily.

Anything that has our minds attention, our hearts affection, and our souls ambition affectively has our worship. - Tim Hughes

Jesus speaks forgiveness over our sins, He offers us life beyond our labels and He creates hope for our future.

Jesus is the bedrock of Christianity. He is both the criterion and the conclusion of all things!

For he never stops seeking to save… | Romans 4:4

Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. | Romans 8:26-27, ESV

"Romans is ‘The principal and most excellent part of the New Testament, and a light and a way in unto the whole Scripture’." | William Tyndale

In the Bible we find the framework for thinking about movement where it restores us to a place of seeing our bodies as a gift from God that we’re to steward, but not as an idol that we’re ultimately trying to find our identity in!

The Gospel of Jesus comes with a Path and a Promise. The promise isn’t just Jesus, it is what Jesus can give to us: peace, freedom and love. That is what we get with Jesus. We get freedom from our shame and regret, we get peace in our deepest being and we get to relax into the unconditional love of the creator of the universe.

We were made for relationship with God and with others. We can replace our relational toxic tendencies with fruitful habits that foster relational health.

Our love for speed and our obsession with getting more and achieving more has led us into a way of living completely at odds and out of alignment with kingdom rhythms!
