In this week's episode, Candy sits down with guest, Mallory Cockrell, to discuss the importance of keeping our "eyes up" in the midst of difficult circumstances. Hear testimony of overcoming isolation, fear, &  anxiety and receive practical ways to begin changing the way you see. 

Our circumstances might not change, but lifting our eyes above them has the power to shift how the circumstances effect us! "Eyes Up!"

Join me as we lace up our boots and kick off 2024! The Lord is calling us to change our posture from bracing for the "next blow" or attack, to anticipating "His precious promises!" It's time to lift our eyes from our circumstances and move from the trail of exhaustion to the path of peace.

This week, Candy dives into the third person of the trinity - The Holy Spirit! The least talked about and most misunderstood, but equal part God. You'll leave with a grasp on who He is, what He does, and be reminded of our great need for Him! If you find yourself struggling to know your next step, feeling weary, or just unable to understand the Word - you need the Holy Spirit!

He is our guide, teacher, helper, and the Spirit of Truth! He gives us power, He is God with us!

This week, Jake Gibbs teaches on 2 questions we as believers should be able to readily answer - 1) Who is Jesus? and 2) Who is Jesus to You? Have you ever answered these questions directly? As we approach the holidays, let it be an invitation to remember our King and reflect with thankfulness on the truth of who He is! Tune in as Jake dives into the Word and answers,"Who is Jesus!" He is the Prince of Peace, the Great I am, the Author and Finisher, Emmanuel, hope of the world, the King of Kings, the Risen Lamb, our Savior - He is Jesus! Who is He to you? 

This week, Candy discusses relationship with The Father and how our experiences with our earthy father can influence how we view Him. Do you ever find yourself: 

• Worrying about having enough.
• Thinking, "if I don't take care of myself no one will."  
• Striving for acceptance and love by performing well.
• Viewing God more as a "master"  than a father.
• Feeling like a burden or unsure of who you are.

A father provides 4 key things to his children -- significance, security, identity, and intimacy. When these foundational needs are lacking or withheld, the above are common ways we can respond. Listen and begin to see Him as He truly is - a good good Father!

It can be all too easy to just, "check the boxes" in our walk with The Lord and miss Him entirely. We can quickly find ourselves in a religious rut when we begin to do things for God instead of with God. Although the fruit of our faith involves action, relationship with Him is not comprised of hoops, boxes, and perfection. If you find yourself going through the motions and feeling disconnected from the Lord, then this is for you. You'll be encouraged and motivated to press in, connect, and receive His grace! 

In this week's episode, our 13|30 Ministry Director, Kreed Ramsey,  discusses the importance of maintaining an Eternal Perspective. Seeing through a heavenly lens allows us to focus on and fulfill our calling, provides us hope to endure difficulty, and causes us to love others as Christ does. As you listen, you'll be challenged to shift your focus and set your mind on things above!
