  • 145: Are You Tired of Waiting? Try This Today to Persist & Make It Through! (Psalm 6)

    Like David, have you ever cried out, "How long, LORD, how long?"

    One of the keys to waiting, enduring, or suffering a long time involves focusing on the reward instead of our plight and the agony in the waiting. We learn to shift our thoughts to long for Christ and Christ alone.

  • 144: Hands-on Ways to Live & Share Your Christian Faith in Word and Deed with Dr. Stephen Pattison from CapCity Church

    Doc and I talk apologetics or defending our faith–what this really means and how we can do it.

    We chat about how sometimes we THINK we’re not qualified to share our faith or we compare ourselves to others who seem to be sharing their faith in marvelous ways – we feel somehow less than and cower back in fear.  Doc encourages us to shine the light of Christ in our own unique and personal ways and release the outcome!

    You’ll hear Doc speak about

    1. The privileges and benefits of being a Jesus follower and how it makes good sense!
    2. How we can overcome our fears and share our personal experiences with others
    3. If we feel a bit shaky in defending our faith when it’s under attack, we don’t have to know all the answers but can instead point others to resources or other individuals who have helped us along the way (see resources below)
    4. Be sure to tune in and pass the link to a friend!

    5. 143: Try This 1 Tiny Shift in Your Vocabulary to Make a Huge Impact on Your Mood and Outlook Today! (Psalm 144)

      Let's learn to reframe our thinking when faced with trials and hardships or just everyday humdrum living.

      Target Message from Habakkuk 3:17-18

      Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior. The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on the heights.
