Many times I have said, "I will be glad when this is over!" But, I've read John 15 with fresh eyes and I realized that I don't have to wait until the end of a task, day, circumstance or season to have joy. Joy isn't a finish line, it's your starting point! —  Stay connected to Posture:  Subscribe on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3brIa1L Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/posturepodca...

My excuses for not "rejoicing always" haven’t just been circumstantial. I used to let my natural personality dictate my worship by saying things like, “Oh, I’m an introvert,” or “I’m not really an emotional person." But, worship is designed to take you out of this natural world and make you fully aware of your Kingdom reality. Do you come to God guarded? Do you struggle to rejoice? Maybe like me,...

There’s no such thing as "toxic positivity" in the Kingdom of God, there is only the joy of the Lord. And it’s a joy that strengthens us, not poisons us.

I used to think rescue was breakthrough. I used to think rescue and relief would be the things to transform me, instead of relying on the transformative relationship I have with God. And through the lens of these wrong beliefs, I viewed the Secret Place as merely a place of escape. Living by those wrong beliefs made me powerless and ineffective in the world because I was always living for a way ou...

We live in a world that believes the self-achievement of performance is the real source of power. That's why "self-empowerment" is such a popular topic. But we are people of the Kingdom who know the truth and it has set us free! The truth is intimacy with God is the real source of power. Good news! You are not powerless. —  Stay connected to Posture:  Subscribe on YouTube: https://bit.ly...

The Secret Place is not a place of escape from your problems. It is not a place to go cower while the world goes off the deep end.  The Secret Place is a place where you engage with the empowering presence of God in you and discover earth-shaking, life-changing possibilities and solutions. —  Stay connected to Posture:  Subscribe on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3brIa1L Follow on Facebook...

Jesus got things done. But He never hustled. Jesus’s pace was always this, “I only do what I see my Father doing.” Jesus’s pace sometimes disappointed people. Often, it confused people. But He never changed His pace. —  Stay connected to Posture:  Subscribe on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3brIa1L Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/posturepodcast Follow on Instagram: https://instagra...

“Oh, the Lord must be teaching me patience.” I've said that many times before in an attempt to absorb frustration. Let me tell you from experience what happens with you absorb frustration — eventually you explode with frustration. That's not how patience works. Here’s the thing, when we give the power of definition over to the world, it distorts and diminishes the truth in our hearts and minds. I'...

God is not limited in His patience, He is relentless in it. —  Stay connected to Posture:  Subscribe on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3brIa1L Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/posturepodcast Follow on Instagram: https://instagram.com/posture.podcast

As humans, we're very good at remembering our pasts. Past pains, hurts, disappointments, regrets, and sins...not just ours, but past sins of others as well. We often choose to feed on our faithlessness instead on God's faithfulness. This only keeps past failures present in our hearts and minds, and guarantees future bondage and brokenness because we’re taking it with us into each new day. But what...

Everything God is, He is relentlessly. God is ALWAYS going to be love. ALWAYS gentle. ALWAYS patient. ALWAYS kind. He is consistent, constant, unceasing, firm in His promise, and can be trusted at all times. He has not dropped His kindness all the sudden just because of how the world is acting. He has not forfeited His peace just because the circumstances have gotten chaotic. He has not disregarde...

I used to think of self-control as an "unexciting" fruit of the a Spirit. But I have discovered it isn't merely a discipline, it is an absolute delight!  With self-control we can always be led by peace not pressure. —  Stay connected to Posture:  Subscribe on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3brIa1L Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/posturepodcast Follow on Instagram: https://inst...

Did you know God is relentlessly gentle with you? We don’t change God, He changes us. Our behavior, good or bad, never makes Him act outside of Himself. Let's stop trying to talk God into our reality and allow Him to talk us into His reality. —  Stay connected to Posture:  Subscribe on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3brIa1L Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/posturepodcast Follow on I...

What are you expecting from God today? Who do you anticipate Him being to you, for you and through you? Who do you anticipate Him being for other people in your life or on your screen? We all should be carrying a greater expectation of who God is for us than who the enemy can be against us. This doesn't make us blind to the issues in the world, it makes us a solution for them. —  Stay connect...

We often preach, teach, and think about the devastating effects the works of the flesh has on us and our world. But have you ever considered the effects the fruit of the Spirit has on our real enemy, satan? Did you know you can exhaust him with your love for people? You can depress him with your joy. You can intimidate him with your intimacy with God. You can paralyze him with compassion. Everythi...

The call to repentance is a delightful one. It's not about demanding an apology, it's an invitation to be transformed! Romans 2:4 tells us that it is God’s kindness that leads us to repentance. Paul warns in Romans 2:4 to not despise the riches of God's kindness, His goodness. When we are overwhelmed by the goodness of God towards us, we become a strong force of goodness in the world around us. We...

Did you realize that every day you should be overwhelmed? In this episode, I'm sharing about an encounter that Moses had with God's goodness that has me completely overwhelmed. God is no longer just visiting us, He is living in us! We get to encounter His glory every day in every circumstance. -- Stay connected to Posture: Subscribe on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3brIa1L Follow on Facebook: https://fa...

Love Himself empowers us to love with a love like no other. This is a love the world does not know and it cannot create.  Opposition often causes human love to retreat. But Love Himself rises in opposition. Nothing is wasted in the Kingdom. Not even enemies. -- Stay connected to Posture: Subscribe on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3brIa1L Follow on Facebook: https://facebook.com/posturepodcast Follo...

The love we experience here on earth is based on approval and agreement. When there is disapproval or disagreement, love is often withdrawn. You’re unfollowed, muted, ghosted, abandoned, replaced. But not with God. He is a Love like no other. --  Stay connected to Posture: Subscribe on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3brIa1L Follow on Facebook: https://facebook.com/posturepodcast Follow on Instagram:...

Kicking off Season 2 with GOOD NEWS!! If you are a follower of Jesus Christ, the empowering presence of Love Himself lives IN you. This means... When you walk into any situation, Love also enters. When someone rises against you, Love rises in you. When all seems lost, Love remains. This is the true you. Jesus reigns and His plans forever remain. satan has already lost. It’s time we live like it! -...

I saved my favorite clip from my recent conversation with Graham Cooke for this final episode of Season 1 because it captures the heartbeat of Posture. 15 weeks ago, I dove heart first into creating a daily podcast called "Posture" because I had a vision for our future that I couldn't shake. I saw our generation (not a specific age group, but all of us living and breathing for such a time as this)...
