August 07, 2024 3 Steps to Take When Life gets Really Difficult

Is it just me? Or does life seem to have more and more difficult moments? This week, I was reminded of a scripture I memorized during a painful season in my life. I hope to encourage you with its message today. The version I memorized starts out with “Don’t be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through.” Yes! The Bible actually says not to be surprised when we get burned. But those fiery trials come with the promise that today’s troubles don’t threaten tomorrow’s triumphs. Today I’m going to give you 3 important action steps when life gets really difficult.

July 10, 2024 Who is Worthy of God’s Favor? How to Know if You’re Righteous
Do you wonder whether you are worthy of God’s favor? What does it take to earn God’s favor? I know the secret to being able to declare with absolute certainty: I am blessed with God’s favor.
The Bible tells us that God surrounds the righteous with His favor. Which means, if you are righteous then you are blessed with God’s favor. But how do you know if you’re righteous?
In this episode, I’m not only going to settle whether you’re righteous, but I’m also going to explain why God’s favor is such a blessing.

Do you struggle with indecision? Do you worry about making wrong choices? Maybe you’ve heard of analysis paralysis. But over-analyzing isn’t the only obstacle that keeps us from moving forward. Another roadblock is fear of the unknown. Today we’re going to look at what the prophet Isaiah wrote about walking in darkness, and I’ll share two tips to help you keep moving forward when you don’t know what lies ahead.

June 26, 2024 Defeating Life’s Toughest Obstacles with Faith!
Seen enough losses lately? Ready for some wins? I know what it’s like to look for the light at the end of the tunnel when the tunnel is far too deep and long to see anything but darkness. So how do you keep pressing forward? How do you stay in the game? It helps me to remember that my troubles produce a glory that will last forever.
The verses I share in this episode speak of a glory that has nothing to do with whether we win or lose. It's an eternal glory—not a glory that shines brilliantly as long as you win but fizzles out the moment you lose. The Apostle Paul wrote about the promise of eternal glory, and it’s a promise I have held onto when my losses pile up so high that I can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel.
If you’re convinced that you can’t win for losing, then you’ll be encouraged by the two points I’ll be making today. They’re easy to remember and they’ll help you press through the darkness believing for the light at the end of the tunnel.
