Too many people sit back as arm chair critics of the church rather than being a part of the solution. Prayer has tremendous power to heal and transform. Let’s move beyond our offenses and pray that the church would become all that God’s designed it to be.
What or who we’re motivated by defines us in a lot of ways. I wanted to share with you guys the source of some of my motivation in hopes that it will help you in your search.
If we’re never in settings where we can share how we really think and feel, we run the risk of becoming completely disconnected from ourselves. I hope this episode encourages and challenges you and have a great day!
Not every struggle we face can be put into tidy boxes, but that doesn’t make them any less real. I hope this episode encourages you. We all have way more in common than we have differences.
I’m about to speak to about 300 middle and high school students this morning and I’m praying that God would show up powerfully. What if we were all desperate for God to use us every single day?
Storms on the inside of us can oftentimes effect us even more than the storms on the outside of us. How might God be speaking to you through the internal storms and how are you going to respond?
Growth means stepping out of your comfort zone. What authors, resources or people are you currently spending time with who are challenging your perspective?
When the storms of life come, be they physical or spiritual, it’s easy for us to react emotionally instead of looking to God and seeking his perspective. I hope this episode challenges you to think about the way you think.
God wants us to find him, but he invites us into an all out pursuit. It’s an encouragement as well as a challenge. Hope you enjoy this episode!
