Today we are discussing all that you shared with us when we asked the question,  "What would you tell your younger self?"

If you've been around the church for more than 5 minutes, there's a good chance you've been offended by someone or something that was said or done.  Good news...you're not alone. Bad news...it will probably happen again. We opened up a can of worms on social media regarding this topic and decided we should probably air out our dirty laundry on the air. Join us as we discuss som...

Mom guilt - Ruining a good night's sleep since the beginning of time :) We women play so many complex roles throughout our lives; mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend.  There just  isn't enough of us to go around.  We feel guilty for what we should've done, what we could've done, what we did, what we didn't do...like that time I didn't pick my son up from preschool...

Sometimes we walk away from God and knowingly dive into sin; Other times, we are stuck in an addiction that we cannot control.  How do we overcome these things?  Do Christians have different standards?  Can we out sin God's grace?  In Jer. 51:1-5 we see the two sides of God - Vengeful & Loving all in one . . . He talks of whipping up a death-dealing hurricane to clean up Babylon, declarin...

Sometimes we are called to share the "unpopular" truth, and boy does it have it's ramifications! But it's in those times that we see people's true colors. And I don't know about you, but I'd rather be stuck in the mud instead of walking with the enemy! As they say, "Never question who God removes from your life. He heard the conversations when you weren&apos...

Cowbells, airhorns, and predict-a-pens is how we're rolling these days. Luckily, the world doesn't rest on our shoulders!  WARNING: Before you "share a message from God" with someone, you must LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE! Because God deals harshly with false prophets! Also, if you've ever needed a reason to say "no"...this one's for you.

Jeremiah 20:7-10 (MSG) Is it hard for you to tell God exactly how you are feeling? Have you ever complained about what God has called you to do in your life?

Don't forget to go back &  listen to "The Big Ka...

The days are dark and long, how are we supposed to respond to a world that is spinning out of control? Today we talk about the things God laments over and how we can serve in our specific arena; guilt free, knowing God has not called us to handle everything on our own.  There are so many needs; we, alone, CANNOT meet them all! Fortunately, we serve a mighty God who can.  Revelation 7:17 "And...

What do drunks, rebels, naked men  and a talking donkey have in common?

"You'll worry less about what people think of you when you realize how seldom they do."  There are those in our lives that we need to listen to and those that are operating out of their own insecurities. How can we tell the difference?  Today we talk about things we need to "get over" and the times when we need to slow down and journey through it.

Get away with me and yo...
