January 14, 2026 Fighting From the Inside Out
In this episode, Rachel reflects on Pastor Isaac’s teaching from James 4:1–3, where James asks a challenging question: What causes fights and quarrels among you? Rather than pointing outward, James invites us to look within.

This conversation explores how many conflicts are rooted in desires for control, power, and comfort, and how those same motives can shape the way we pray. Using the Lord’s Prayer as a framework, the episode encourages listeners to reorder their prayers by honoring God’s name, seeking His kingdom and will, and then bringing their needs before Him.

This episode invites honest self-examination and points toward a different way of living; one shaped by surrender, humility, and peace that begins on the inside.

January 12, 2026 Why Fight?
What if the real reason for conflict in your life isn’t “out there,” but within your own heart?

In James 4, we uncover the true source of our fights and frustrations-- unchecked desires for control and self-interest that shape our relationships and even our prayers. This passage calls us to examine our motives, reorder our priorities, and seek God’s will above our own, leading to inner transformation and a life marked by peace and righteousness.

January 07, 2026 A Call to Intentional Living
In this episode, we reflect on James 3:18 and the quiet power of intentional living. In a world that pushes us to be loud, fast, and right, Scripture invites us to a different way: sowing peace. Through stories from a guest ranch, parenting, and everyday relationships, we explore how gentleness, patience, and a transformed heart produce a harvest of righteousness over time. Drawing on the wisdom of Proverbs, Micah, the teachings of Jesus, and John Wesley, this conversation reminds us that true righteousness begins within and is expressed through love for God and neighbor. Like consistent exercise, small daily choices to sow peace quietly shape our hearts, our relationships, and our communities.

January 05, 2026 Planting Peace
James 3:18 reminds us that “peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.” This message explores how our words, tone, and approach shape the outcomes we experience in relationships, work, and family life. Using ranch wisdom and everyday moments, we’re challenged to consider whether we bring peace or pressure into our conversations. When we slow down, lower the noise, and choose what truly matters, we create space for godly fruit to grow. Ultimately, this teaching invites us to ask: What seeds am I planting and what kind of harvest do I want?

December 29, 2025 Contrasts in Wisdom
This message explores James chapter 3 and the contrast between earthly wisdom and wisdom from heaven. We’re challenged to examine what truly shapes our decisions—selfish ambition and temporary priorities, or God’s eternal perspective. While everyday concerns like careers, health, and security matter, they were never meant to be our primary focus. Through Scripture, we’re invited to develop heavenly wisdom that filters every decision through a divine lens, shifting our investment from what fades to what lasts forever. This teaching calls us to move beyond knowledge and develop wisdom that transforms how we live, love, and choose.

December 26, 2025 We All Need a Bridle
In this episode, Rachel reflects on James 3 and the power of the tongue. Our words may be small, but they carry tremendous weight. Through Scripture and real-life stories, we explore how what we say reveals the condition of our hearts, why self-control alone isn’t enough, and how God transforms our speech from the inside out. This conversation invites us to slow down, listen closely to our words, and ask God to make us people whose speech brings life, healing, and grace.

Love bends low, reaches down, and points straight to Christ.

The final candle shines bright because God sent His Son, bringing hope, peace, joy, and love to every corner of our lives.

This week’s reflection—Love & the Christ Candle—reminds us that God’s love has come. He is here. And He will never let go.

December 22, 2025 Bridle the Tongue
James reminds us of an uncomfortable truth: we all stumble, especially with our words. Using vivid imagery of bits, rudders, and sparks, Pastor Isaac shows how something so small as the tongue can steer our lives for good or for harm. Though no one can fully tame the tongue through willpower alone, hope is found at the source. Jesus taught that our words flow from the heart, meaning real change begins within. The challenge is not just to control our speech, but to allow God to transform our hearts so what overflows brings life, not destruction.
