Being a Perfectionist | S3E12 As Christians we know that “all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God,” yet Christ said: “Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” What should we do?

The Last Word | S2E75 There are many people who would be happy if we said that the last words from God were “Eloi Eloi, lama sabachthani," but they weren't. The story about Jesus was just beginning!  See full post: https://www.rooteddaily.com/blog/_s2e75

What Freedom Looks Like | S2E71 Too often we look at the promises of God and all we see are prison walls. God looks more like a warden than a Savior. We want to be free from any authority so we can do whatever we like, and we call that freedom, but Jesus had a different definition for freedom.

Joy in Obedience | S2E68 Our culture may not be able to figure out how obedience can coincide with joy, but it is central to the Christian’s worldview. We don’t just submit before God out of fear or coercion, but joyfully. See full post:  https://www.rooteddaily.com/blog/_s2e6 8

Waiting with Urgency | S2E67 We are living in the age of impatience. We’ve been conditioned to have it our way, right away, and in a time like this the example of Jesus is pretty remarkable.  See full post: https://www.rooteddaily.com/blog/_s2e67

Should I Take Risks | S2E66 Risks are, by definition, all about stepping into the unknown. When Peter walked on choppy waters towards Jesus that was a literal stepping out, but there’s something different about the risk Peter took and the ones we sometimes have to consider: Peter knew God was asking him to take that risk. How do we know if God wants us to take risks today or not? See full post: ht...
