If you’ve been chasing fulfillment and still feel empty, this teaching will shift your perspective and point you to the s...

This week on The One Thing Series, we’re tackling one of life’s biggest questions: Do you know your purpose? That you have a purpose is not up for debate—it’s guaranteed. The question is: do you believe it? And are you walking in it?

Welcome to the launch of our brand-new series: The One Thing Series—where each episode zooms in on one powerful, foundational truth to help you grow deeper in your walk with Jesus. In today’s episode, we’re starting with what may be the most important truth of all: You will never find intimacy with God without a regular time with Him each day. If you're feeling distant from God or stuck in your sp...

Did you know that rest is a choice? In Isaiah 30:15–16, God offers His people a powerful invitation: “In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and trust shall be your strength. But you were unwilling…” So often, we choose hustle over stillness, control over trust. We run hard—only to end up weary, anxious, and empty. In today’s episode, we’re talking about the kind of rest that only...

As a doctor, I’ve seen what happens when wounds are left untreated—they don’t just go away. In fact, the longer you wait to deal with an infection, the more dangerous it becomes. The same is true for the wounds we carry in our hearts. In today’s episode, we’re diving into Psalm 37 to learn from David—a man who knew pain, betrayal, and hardship. We’ll explore practical wisdom from his life on how t...

Do you ever feel like life is just too much? Maybe you’re walking through a trial that won’t let up... Still waiting on a breakthrough... Still praying for answers that haven’t come. If you’ve ever felt like all hope is lost—you’re not alone. In Psalm 42, David pours out his heart in a season of deep despair. But even in the darkest moments, he reminds us where true hope is found. Let’s look at hi...

One of the greatest gifts God has given us is the gift of rest, yet most of us are intent on living in the chaos. Chaos is a typical day in the typical life of the typical Christian. But we can be busy without being chaotic. Our days could be packed and not feel out of control. After all, Jesus was busy. His days were jam-packed with ministry and people and demands. Our aim isn’t to take a vacatio...

Few things will change our world like our resolve to hope when it hurts too much. Few things will radically transform our world like our resolve to believe God when everything screams against Him. Hope has a way of showing up when we’re not looking for it. When it does, anything can happen. Tune in to today’s podcast—it just might be the spark your soul needs. For diving further into this topic, c...

In today’s podcast, you’ll be encouraged to make this powerful resolve: that I will practice gratitude in the face of challenging circumstances and rejoice no matter what, because God is able to act above and beyond my wildest expectations, including raising my dreams from the dead.

Our culture is facing an endemic of independence and isolationism like never before. With singleness rates as high as 53 percent of the population, we have become accustomed to living on our own. The effects are not only detrimental but counter to God’s plan for us. It will take some serious resolve to choose God’s way of community when we’ve adjusted to being alone. But no decision will impact yo...

Few things will stick out in our culture like the resolve to pursue a lifestyle of giving generously and sacrificially when it’s unexpected, unnecessary, or uncomfortable. Nothing will point to the worth of the Savior more than our willingness to open our hands and give all that we have for the sake of something bigger than we are, more eternal than we’ll ever be, and far more important than our t...

You and I have a responsibility. We know the way, the truth, and the life. We have been given grace upon grace. We have been loved and accepted and forgiven and set free. Anyone who has come face-to-face with God’s goodness and embraced it knows that we have a duty—even more, a privilege—to share this truth with others. It’s easier to stay silent. It’s easier to aim for acceptance. It’s easier to...

Fundamentally, the call to discipleship is a call to yield. It’s a call to self-denial. It’s a call to say “you go first” even when it might be our right to go first. This is what it means to be a Christian, a fully surrendered follower of Jesus. It’s a radical all-in total takeover of who you are with no turning back. Anything remotely close to this will demand your unwavering resolve and the bel...

One of my favorite sayings is this: Your walk talks and your talk talks, but your walk talks louder than your talk talks. Simply stated, obedience is walking the talk. It’s moving past words to action. It’s actually living out what you say you believe. What would our world look like if every follower of Jesus Christ resolved to obey God, especially when it’s not popular? How would our world be dif...

Jesus made it clear: the most powerful way to impact the world is by loving others, even when it’s inconvenient, uncomfortable, and messy. (John 13:35) In a culture that’s self-seeking, the way to stand out is by doing the opposite: to pick up a towel, lean low, and wash feet. But let’s be real—this kind of love is impossible without first understanding and receiving God’s never-ending love for us...

And does what we profess with our lips show up in our everyday actions? In this series, I’m going to present you with ten topics t...
