On this month’s episode of Walk Worthy, we’re discussing just that—what it means to “walk worthy.” As followers of Christ, we have a calling on our lives. Join us as we dive into what that calling is, why it matters, and how we can start walking it out!

We’re commanded numerous times throughout Scripture to forgive, and to forgive as we’ve been forgiven. Why are these two concepts in Matthew 6 linked, and what does that look like in our lives? Why can it be so hard to forgive…and what do we do in those circumstances? Join us for session eight as we learn how to forgive others as God has forgiven us. Verses Used: Matthew 6:12 Romans 3:23 Romans 6:...

Jesus tells us to ask Him for our "daily bread." What is the "daily bread" we need from God?

Join us for session 7 as we discuss how to truly trust the Lord to provide for every need and be content with what He gives us. Verses Used: John 6:35 Exodus 16 1 Timothy...

If we are to pray, "Your will be done," we must first understand what these words mean. What is the will of God? What is required of my own will for me to be able to pray this prayer? Praying for God's will to be done requires the submission of my own will to His. Join us for session six as we discover how to lay our own wills down and allow His to reign instead. Verses Used: 2 Peter 3:9 Romans 12...

Verses Used: Romans 8:26 1 Chronicles 29:11 Daniel 5:27 Isaiah 51:1...

In this special episode of the Encore and Walk Worthy Pastor Scott sits down with Erin and Lyndsay to discuss this year’s women’s retreat. How does the theme, music, verses get selected? What does preparation look like?

We pray to a holy God. He is holy in and of Himself, which is wholly different from our nature. What implications does His holiness have on our prayer life? What does His holiness require of us? Join us as we study God's perfect nature in session four of "When You Pray." Verses Used: Isaiah 57:15 Romans 8:28-30 I Thess 5:12-13 Discussion Questions: 1.

We have a ruthless enemy that seeks for avenues to destroy us. What hope do we have of victory? How can we rest in that hope and find the strength to fight another day? Join us for our concluding session as we discover how knowing Christ grants us victory both here on earth and in eternity.

We have an enemy that prowls about like a roaring lion seeking someone to devour. Are you an easy target? Do you leave doors wide open for him to attack your life? Do you recognize spiritual attacks when they come, or are you busy waging a physical war against those you can see? When you are under attack do you become discouraged and quit, or do you strive to persevere even under duress? In this s...

We live in a culture inundated with messages about who we should be and how we should think. Everywhere we turn there are marching orders about how to act, what to wear, who to follow, and what our priorities should be. But… are any of these orders from our true Commanding Officer? Who are we actually following? Who do we allow to speak into our lives and define our priorities as a woman, wife, an...

Many of us claim to want victory in areas of our lives, but we refuse the surrender to Christ that’s necessary to attain it. There is a difference between just wanting a battle to cease and true surrender of the heart. The surrendered heart walks in obedience even through the fiercest battlefield. How do I know if I am fully surrendered to the Lord? Why is complete surrender necessary? Together we...

Our marriages are the “front lines” of our families. If our marriages crumble, our families are massively impacted. If Satan can undermine this area of our lives, he can deal a crippling blow to our children and those around us. How can we build solid marriages? What hope do we have when we are struggling? In tough times, what should we do and how should we act? Discover ways to fight for your mar...

One of our primary missions as soldiers of the cross is to make disciples. It is our job to notice those around us and, if they don’t know Christ, share the Gospel. For those who have accepted Christ, we are commissioned to disciple them in the faith. How do we begin a conversation with someone about the Gospel? What does it look like to disciple and challenge someone in their walk with the Lord?...

As we navigate various battlefields we notice from Scripture that most of our weapons are defensive. We are only given one offensive weapon for combat and that is the Word of God. If we hope to be victorious, it is imperative that we know how to study the Bible. Where should we start? What tools can we use to dig deeper? How can we take the things that are written and apply them to our lives so we...

Some of us desperately want to be good soldiers, but the battle has raged so long and the fight has been so hard that we have become weary. If we’re honest, we’re tempted to lay down our weapons and walk off the battlefield entirely. What do we do when everything in us wants to go AWOL? How can we find strength and hope to fight another day? Join us as we learn how to press into the fight toward v...

We live in a culture that has much to say about what our families’ priorities should be, but how do the world’s values differ from what the Bible calls us to? How can we equip our children to be godly in today’s world, and what things can we do to strengthen and build up our families? This session will focus on how we can train our children up in the fear of the Lord and build solid families cente...

In the Bible, an armor bearer doesn’t wield the sword, spear, or javelin him/herself, but carries it into battle on behalf of a soldier. In life sometimes we are the soldier actively battling, and other times we are like armor-bearers providing necessary support to a soldier in the fight. When we see those we love battling, how can we best support them? Join us as we learn what it looks like to be...

The Bible calls us soldiers of the cross. When and how did you become a soldier and what does this require of your life? What can you do to prepare yourself for battle, to stand firm under attack and not retreat? Our second session will focus on how we, as soldiers, can equip ourselves through the power of Christ for each battle we face.

We are engaged in a spiritual war that rages all around us, but what does the battle actually look like? Who is my enemy and how does he attack my life? In session one we will focus on gaining an understanding of our enemy and his tactics so we can be prepared for attack and not allow him to discourage or defeat us.

When we pray to our Father, we notice from Jesus' teaching that He is "in Heaven." This simple phrase reminds us of God's sovereignty and perfect character. As we direct our prayers toward Heaven, our focus is fixed not on earthly things, but on the majestic kingdom we have been given access to by the blood of Christ Jesus. Join us for session three of "When You Pray." Verses Used: Isaiah 66:1 Psa...

As Jesus instructs us to pray, He says we ought to address God as "our Father." What does it mean that God is our Father? Are we all His children? As our Father, what is His nature toward us?

What have you done this past week to place a greater foc...

Jesus begins teaching us about prayer by calling us first to examine our hearts. Are they clean before the Lord or are they full of hypocrisy and pride? Do our prayers come from a sincere heart or do we fall into the trap of praying meaningless repetitions? Join us for session one of our study: When You Pray as we examine the proper posture with which we ought to approach God in prayer. Verses Use...
