When someone has an inflexible, stubborn thinking style, it can feel like conversations—and even your whole relationship—is running into an invisible concrete wall. It doesn’t matter what the topic is, when there is rigid thinking, there is no flexibility. And that’s because rigid thinking is the opposite of being open-minded and empathetic. When someone is a rigid thinker, their unmet expectation...

One of the first steps toward freedom is identifying the things that stand in the way of experiencing God's grace. When we find the courage to step out from behind the shadows we can experience the person of Grace and find the freedom our hearts desire.

Shame has a way of driving us into deeper and deeper darkness when, really, the only way to be free of its life-sapping power is to expose it in the light.

When we consider the Trinity, most of us understand the Father and Son. However, there tends to be much confusion or even mysticism surrounding the Holy Spirit and His purpose.

Sometimes, it may seem like miracles ended after the Bible was recorded, but God has never stopped working! The same God who performed miracles then is still working today. In this episode, Carissa has a conversation with Kathie Knapp, the CEO of Sunshine Rescue Mission and Hope Cottage. The discussion revolves around the challenges faced by the homeless population and how God still heals the brok...

Did you know God wants us to have fun and enjoy our lives? For most of us, when we become adults the concept of "play" fades behind all our responsibilities and the need to perform. We forget how important it is for us to relax and enjoy life. In fact, many of us probably don't realize that our Heavenly Father permits us to do this. Join Jeff, Carissa, and Julie for a round table discussion on how...

Most of us are eager to reach our "greatest potential" and become who God created us to be. However, in order to prepare us to reach that potential, we must endure trials. These trials are circumstances or seasons of hardship in our life, when it may feel like we are going in the opposite direction. But, if we stay attuned to Jesus, He can lead us through the trials and strengthen us through them...

In the Christian life, the dark night of the soul isn't exactly what most people assume it is. It's not an existential crisis... exactly. It's not depression... exactly. It's a season in your spiritual life when God makes everything dark and obscure so that none of your old "tricks" to communicate with Him work anymore. Prayer doesn't "work." Neither does worship or going to church or to any place...

In this episode, we discover how embracing brokenness is essential to mending the soul and becoming all God created us to be. When we suffer, we must understand the true cause of our suffering. If we don’t diagnose our pain properly, we will apply the wrong remedy and delay the growth process. We can do a lot of damage and extend the pain, when we apply the wrong remedy to ourselves or others.  Re...

It’s natural to set goals to get in shape, shed some pounds, or heal past hurts. While the initial breakthroughs are exciting, we quickly face the challenges of reality. If we want lasting change, we have to put in the effort. Jesus recognized that our spiritual lives are no different from our everyday lives. It's one thing to be inspired by an encounter with Jesus, but it's another to put into pr...

Just as railroad tracks provide a clear route for a train to follow, our minds create neural pathways for us to think the same thoughts over and over again. The more we think a certain way, the more automatic our thoughts become. In this episode, we explore how to examine our thoughts, renew our minds, and create new neural pathways. For more resources and information about our upcoming events, pl...

Have you ever met someone who exudes the presence of God? To be in their presence feels like being with Jesus.

In every good story, there comes a point where the hero appears to be overcome by overwhelming obstacles. At this point, the storyteller leaves a silent space for us to wonder if and how the character could possibly overcome struggle. This is not meant to be the end of the story. But rather, it is an opportunity for the hero to rise from suffering into the person they are meant to be. The reason t...
