The Encounter

“Just try it once, just one hit, just drink, you are only young once have fun.” We all think addiction will never reach us, until it's no longer fun and you need your fix to feel normal. Without it, it seems impossible to fend off depression, guilt, anxiety and despair. It doesn’t matter how much you want to stop, it’s too little too late. What at first sets you free from all emotions and worry no...

Attacked by voices that know all your weaknesses. You can’t breathe nor function, all you can do is worry. You have no idea what you are so afraid of, no rational explanation for the way you feel. Jesus said to cast all our anxieties on Him, but can it really be that easy to just let go?

Darkness envelops you as the reasons to live become meaningless. You have reached the point of desperation, but suddenly you’re in the eye of the storm and everything grows silent. The God of Elijah, Job, and David reminds you that you’re not alone, and just like He did for them he will do for you. This too shall pass…

From Instagram models to TikTok influencers, unreal beauty standards are constantly engraved in our head. Forcing our body to go through unnatural processes to be considered “normal” we strive to be as beautiful no matter the cost. With all the attention and appreciation these girls/guys are given we tend to forget the beauty that pleases God, our beauty within. Listen in and be reminded that our...

Spread the Good News to every ear that will listen! With your voice guide them to the well that never runs dry. Quench their thirst by showing them Jesus. It is so easy to write this especially behind a screen, but when it’s time to stand on our soapbox does our bravery run dry? Find out where to start, where to find the courage to speak the truth inside us bursting at the seams!

God does not tempt us, yet when tempted we tend to ask Him why! Temptation is caused by our own desires, so why do we look everywhere except within? Often we confuse temptation with trials, but trials test our faith to produce steadfastness. Listen in so together we learn to discern whether our battles are coming from God, the enemy, or simply within.

Have you ever felt neglected or like no matter what you just can’t measure up? Forgotten in the fields and belittled by his own family, David, didn’t take his circumstances at face value. Instead of trusting in the acceptance of man, he waited on the promises of the Lord. Before David could be brought into the spotlight, he had to be molded in the shadows. Will you be patient in God’s promises or...

From a privledged childhood to being degraded and sold as a slave. Joseph went through difficulties that people assume would destroy him but simply brought him closer to his promise. Instead of falling victim to his trauma, he used his past to dominate his future. In his trauma, he gained the tools to achieve his purpose in becoming a leader. Will you allow your circumstances to hold you back or a...

From birth, he was burdened by the weight of his name. He was destined to be a liar and a cheat. He did a good job of living up to the negative expectations set upon him yet the Almighty Father had something different in store. Similarly we often find ourselves branded by our past. But, if you’ve ever had a moment where you thought you’re defined by a label, listen to find out how Jacob’s label tu...

Leaders are not born, they are made. From the Prince of Egypt, to the liberator of Israel, Moses started out as a conflicted stuttering man, but through God’s processes, became a faithful servant and leader. Even after the liberation of Israel, the process for Moses continued through trials. We encourage you to see obstacles in your path as stepping stones to your promise.

Many of us leave the path of Christ and when trying to come back we feel a sense of accusation. When trying to come back we grow doubt because we feel like we’ve wasted our life away. There’s a time where we decide to come but we show up empty handed, not knowing what words are correct to say, only for the father to end up being satisfied/happy with just our return. You might be afraid to go back...

“It’s too late for me. I’m too far gone.” Sin eats away at our peace, our consciousness, our hope. We feel it’s too late for a second chance. That we don’t deserve one. Yet in the midst of the depravity of our situation, there is one hope. One chance at freedom. When we feel we are too far gone, only one thing can save us from the hell of our own creation.

Ezequiel 25:17 states, “I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I lay my vengeance upon them”. We all know that God is a God of love, but we avoid the fact he is all consuming fire. Because of Israelites' negligent attitude, God turned away and abandoned them. Like them we count on God’s endless mercy but at what point does God tur...

In ephesians, Paul tells us we are saved not through works, but by faith; so why put in the effort to “be good” if that’s not what saves us? Even though our salvation comes from his sacrifice, Christ left behind a stature for us to try to reach. Though that stature of perfection is unreachable, listen in to hear why we should persevere in our attempt to reach an impossible objective.

As we use our mouth to praise the Lord, we can also use it to condemn a friend. Just as God spoke the world into existence we can speak blessings or curses into people’s lives. In Luke 6:45 it states, “for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks”. So what is in our hearts? How could we tame our tongue according to the Spirit when it is filled with deadly poison?

Psalms 119:105 says, “Your word is lamp to my feet and light into my path”. Our feet lead us to the destination of our choosing, whether good or bad. In Matthew chapter 7 verses 13-14, the Bible talks about the path we chose to walk in our life and its consequences. Which path are you on right now? Do you know where your feet are leading you?


Our hands do so much for us. We can create beautiful things with extreme precision or destroy things in brute strength. In the Bible, we see numerous examples of how humanity uses their hands to be destructive and rebel against God. From the Tower of Babel to the golden calf, from Solomon’s temple to Abraham’s altar on Mount Moriah. We as followers of the Almighty can choose to edify or destroy th...

As Christians, one of our most important senses to keep healthy is our hearing. Romans 10:17, “faith comes from hearing, from hearing the word of God.” Yet it is one of the biggest things we neglect. From music and gossip to advice, we constantly choose what we listen to. Even as we sleep, our ears never stop hearing, we just ignore the sound, similarly we often choose not to hear our Father in he...

It is often said that eyes are the windows to the soul. It is true. Matthew 6:22-24 says, “The eye is the lamp of the body, if your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness.” The enemy often presents sin as enchanting temptation to our eyes. He presented Jesus with riches; the world right before his eyes. Yet...

The Bible places communion with our brothers as one of our top priorities. The key to this communion with one another is Godly love. A love that surpasses all understanding and  goes beyond church walls. We even have the responsibility to continue pouring out God’s love to those who have left the flock. We challenge you today to reflect on whether you have been a good brother or if you have been l...

You say you believe but you lack faith. You say you trust Jesus but don’t obey. You seek a faith of convenience but not a relationship. You look for a way out of your problems instead of attempting to get to know who He really is. You believe you have faith just because you take up a seat in church, but even the Apostles Peter and Thomas, who saw Jesus’ miracles firsthand had no faith. Today we da...

We were dead in the works of our sin, but He found us and breathed life into our dry, dead bones. Rahab, a prostitute destined for a life of slavery could not see beyond her present situation. Ruth, born from a cursed lineage destined for destruction. Although their circumstances seemed inescapable, our redeemer paid the price for their freedom. This undeserving act of love is something we take fo...

As we walk with God, many of us tend to get used to going to church, praising, and hearing the word then going on with our lives. Our spiritual conditioning becomes stale and routine. We forget to challenge ourselves spiritually, to remind our hearts to look for God wholeheartedly; sometimes, fail to even exercise our spirits at home. Today we question, have we reached a lull in our spiritual grow...

The single, most impactful event in history; so tragic, but yet so beautiful. Imagine a stranger knowing all your faults and still deciding to take the consequences for everything you’ve done. Hated, mocked, abandoned, repetitively tortured yet still willingly sacrificed himself out of pure love. Today we dig deep, into the act that we often take for granted.
