THIS IS THE LIFE PODCAST

The Mind of Christ 1 Corinthians 2:16 “For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.” There are days when my thoughts feel noisy—pulled in too many directions at once. Decisions stack up, emotions weigh heavy, and the world seems determined to shape how I think. In moments like that, this verse gently calls me back to something deeper, something...

Listening for the Right Wind 1 John 4:1 “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God…” There are moments when I sit outside my house and watch the pine trees that line the yard. Most days they stand tall and steady, but every once in a while the wind picks up. When a straight wind blows through, every tree bends the same way. They may sway, but they agree. They m...

Abounding Grace 2 Corinthians 9:8 “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.” There is something deeply comforting in the words “God is able.” Not that God might provide, or could provide, but that He is able to provide. Paul reminds us that God is not limited by our circumstances, our resources, or eve...

New Album Available — “From Where I Am” I am excited to release a new album titled, “From Where I Am”. So much of the heart behind this project flows from the spirit of “This Is The Life”. Those front porch moments where faith meets everyday living… where we slow down, breathe in God’s goodness, reflect on where we’ve been, and look forward with hope to what lies ahead. All Songs written and Compo...

THE FREEDOM TO SLOW DOWN Today we continue together on “The Journey to Spiritual Freedom.” Spiritual freedom is not usually found in one specific moment—it is formed through our daily choices. One of the most important choices is when we meet with Jesus. There is something sacred about the early morning. Before the noise starts. Before the weight of the day presses in. Before the world tells us wh...

WHERE REAL FREEDOM BEGINS As we step into a New Year, many of us are hoping for freedom—from worry, guilt, fear, anxiety, regret, past mistakes, emotional heaviness, feeling overwhelmed, or feeling stuck in spiritual ruts. We long to breathe again. We long to live lighter. We long to feel joy that lasts. That longing is real—but Scripture reminds us where that kind of freedom truly comes from.

The Journey To Spiritual Freedom John 8:31–36 As we step into a brand-new year, many of us think about fresh starts, better habits, and new goals. But beyond resolutions and plans, the greatest gift God offers us is the chance to walk in real spiritual freedom. A new year is a reminder that God is not finished with us. He still leads. He still restores. And He still sets His people free.

FROM WHERE I AM There are times when we ask God, “Will I ever get to You from where I am?” But God is Faithful to lead us and comfort us with His Peace as we find our way to His divine plan. Music Written and Composed By: Eddie B. Woodard

LIFE CAN’T BREAK ME This inspirational devotion compares the strength of bending trees in a storm to our lives when rooted in Christ. Through wind and pressure, we may bend but will not break. With scriptures like 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 and Isaiah 43:2 (KJV), be reminded that God is your strength in every season. Declare with confidence: “Life may shake me, but it can’t break me.” Music By: Mike Outl...

Our Morning Prayer of Surrender Each new day begins best when we place our hearts, our hopes, and our plans into the hands of the Lord. “Our Morning Prayer of Surrender” is a reminder that life works better when we stop trying to control everything and simply trust God. Laying down worries, burdens, and expectations, and inviting the Holy Spirit to guide each step of the day.

MORE THAN THE LILIES Reflecting on Matthew 6:28-29, this devotion encourages us to release worry, trust God’s provision, and rest in the assurance that we are valued far beyond anything in creation. Through calm faith, simple surrender, and quiet confidence, we discover that God knows our needs, sees our struggles, and faithfully provides in His perfect time.

JUST BE FAITHFUL Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.” —1 Corinthians 4:2 There’s a simple truth tucked into this small verse that can reshape the way we view our lives: God isn’t looking for flashy. He’s looking for faithful. When Paul says, “It is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful,” he’s reminding us that we are stewards of all that God has given us...

This song reminds us that what is impossible for us is never impossible for Him, and that surrender is often the doorway to miracles. It’s a simple, honest declaration that even when we can’t see the way forward, God already has one prepared. Song: “Impossible” written and composed By: Eddie B. Woodard.

There are moments when life feels finished—when the door seems shut, the dream looks broken, or the road ahead fades into uncertainty. But what looks like the end to us is often where God is still at work. Scripture reminds us that “He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ” (Philippians 1:6, KJV). God is not bound by our timelines, our failures, or our f...

SONG: THEY GROW UP FAST Written By: Eddie B. Woodard

Mat 14:28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. Mat 14:29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. Jesus said one word: Come. And Peter stepped out of the boat and walked on water. This wasn’t a calm sea. The wind was still roaring, the waves were still high. But Peter wasn’t focused...

Psalms 46:4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. There is a river. It’s not just any river, it’s the river of God. Psalm 46:4 tells us, “There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.” This is no ordinary body of water. It’s the very flow...

THIS IS THE LIFE PODCAST Habakkuk 2:3 “For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” Waiting can feel like the hardest part of our faith. There’s something about a prolonged season of “not yet” that tests our hearts in ways we don’t realize. But if you’ve been holding onto a pr...

What Are You Looking For? John 1:38-39 “Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou? He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day…” There’s something beautiful about a simple question that goes deeper than it first appears...

The Heir’s Promise Romans 8:16–18 “The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” Ther...
