A Better Answer with Kyle Ranson

God will prompt you, move you, and inspire you toward something but only give you a step to take—not a view of the whole path. God will ask us to move forward in faith, choosing to trust Him with incomplete knowledge and understanding! But that isn't easy. Let's talk about that and take that step!

Ever feel like you're stuck on the sidelines? Like you're not supposed to be in the fight? That is not what God wants for you! This week we're taking off the veil and taking a good look at what God calls us to vs what the "father of lies" wants us to believe. Listen in!

This week we're hearing Kyle speak about gaining more margin in your life. In Mark 6:31 Jesus says, "Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile." Does this sound true of your life or more like a pipe dream? And yet, Jesus spoke these words and they've been preserved in the Bible by the Holy Spirit for us to chew on! This can feel hard to live out for sure, so let's lean in and step towards this together.

Today we listen to one of Kyle's best messages about the name God has for you. We all have a name. But we fill it up with all sorts of other things. Like calling ourselves successful, a failure, inadequate, wealthy, and many other things, usually from external tangible things in life. But what about God? Do you think God has anything to say to you on this? Could God have a name for you? Listen in!

In Psalm 13, David cries out to God, "Turn and answer me, O Lord my God! Restore the sparkle to my eyes, or I will die." Kind of intense! And yet, very real and honest to where we can feel we are sometimes. It's difficult to be in a place where you don't feel that sparkle and can lead to a similar cry of, "God restore me!" Let's talk about that.

This is part 2 of our live recording at Crossroads College Night! If you haven't listened to part 1, it's the episode right before this. In this second half, we're diving deeper into getting out of a transactional mindset with God and then getting into some Q&A!

This was a live recording from a College Night at Crossroads Uptown! We start off by talking about gaining true wisdom in life and we jump into our main topic about when we make our relationship with God transactional. Listen next week for part 2!

Have you ever had a week where either nothing seems to be going right or you can't seem to bring yourself to do what you'd want to do to consider it a success? And then you can't help but feel like you yourself are a failure? Yeah, not fun. God has something to say about this. Let's talk about that.

If only I could control the outcome of everything in my life, then I would stop worrying, have no anxiety, and just enjoy life. What a dream. And yet, impossible. Jesus offers another way. Let's talk about that.

"Repentance." What a word. Often associated with a lot of cultural or experiential baggage. But what is it, really? Does God have a greater purpose for it, such as your freedom and joy? Let's talk about that.
