Real Truth with Ruth

What would change if we had a personalized set of blueprints for our lives. When we look at a blueprint, we find specific details. The blueprints move from the big picture view to the little details that change everything. How often do you run into seasons where you feel like God is speaking another language? In today’s episode of Real Truth with Ruth, we will explore receiving instructions from G...

Do you feel disappointed with God? Are there moments where you question His existence? Have you found yourself in the dark hole of despair? God can handle our complaints.

Today you will learn why this is so important and what we need to do to ensur...

What does God see when He looks at you? What is the depth of love that He sees? Can you hear His voice calling you deeper in your relationship with Him?

How often do you get trapped in the trimmings of worship? It can be too loud, soft, fast, or slow. We can comment about an organ vs. a keyboard and fancy lights and platform vs. simple. We all have our preferences. However, we can get so caught up in judging that we forget the purpose of worship. Can you relate? Jesus does not mince any words as He explains what will happen if the people do not wo...

Do you like animals? God teaches us so many lessons through animals and this includes the roadrunner! One of the amazing capabilities that the Lord gave the roadrunner is the ability to run and to run fast. Why? Because they cannot fly long distances. God has created us to soar (Isaiah 40:31) and He has also given us the ability to run. However, in order to run the race we have to do it God’s way....

How do we protect the prophetic in a world where the prophetic is questioned, ridiculed, and discarded? What are the questions that we should be asking? What attitudes should make us cautious?

Every home has some form of a foundation. What type of foundation does your home have? What about your spiritual foundation? We can be sure that the storms of life will come, and they will go. However, how we hold up during the storm is impacted by the foundation we have built. When storms blow into our lives, they reveal the type of foundation that we have. What kind of foundation do you have? Is...

Do you feel like God put you on the face of this earth as an experiment? Do you feel like He is just watching to see how things will work out for you? In these seasons, we must come to a place where we embrace that your life began in Heaven and you are walking on this earth? Join Pastor Ruth today as she shares the difference when you embrace that you are created with intentionality.

As you walk with the Lord, do you find yourself stumbling to trust? Do you find yourself struggling to believe He is who He says He is? As you are walking in your calling, do you question the very one who called you? In our relationship with God, we can all stumble.

Did you play hide and seek as a child? You plot and plan as you look for the perfect hiding spot, hoping not to hear the dreaded "you're it". Have you ever attempted to play hide and seek from God?

If we are being told not to be misled, then we can be assured that there are keys to clear vision and understanding to gras...

Think of a time when you did the right thing, but the accusations began to fly, your motives questioned, gossip ran rampant, and everything went out of control. There was a day when I was doing the right thing, and yet everything went sideways. I had no control over what was happening. Those in authority did not hear my voice, the hammer came down, and the accusations gained a life of their own. T...

Do you find it difficult to evaluate your circumstances? When life is not heading in the direction we had hoped, dreamed about, or desired, we can find ourselves with more questions than answers. Peter and John experienced a set of circumstances that were unfair and undeserved. In the middle of the situation, a decision was made that shook the very place where they were standing. When you evaluate...

What questions do you have for God! What questions do you have that you feel are going unanswered? We all have questions. We have experienced things that we don’t like, don’t want, and have not enjoyed. Also, God has this habit of doing things that we do not understand. However, there are two questions that you can ask God in any season. Join Pastor Ruth today as she unpacks the two questions you...

We hear a lot about our oxygen saturation levels. Our bodies must be able to process oxygen if we are to live. However, what is your prayer saturation level?

What are the keys to keeping your prayer saturat...

How much grace do you extend to others? How much grace would you like extended to you? God's grace extends deeper and broader than we realize and should also impact our view of those around us. When we walk in the fullness of God's grace, it enables or allows us to deal with our imperfections and respond to others with the measure of grace we have received.  Are you ready for an increase in grace...
