Prayer is always a good thing, right? Well, usually. But the Bible shows us that sometimes the healthiest thing we can do spiritually is to stop praying and start doing.

When the hard stuff hits our lives, we can feel like we need to sanitize our prayers. Can I really be raw, honest, real, and perhaps even accusing toward God?

Prayer is never just about me. It’s a vehicle God wants to use to lead us to impact others. Take a look at this prayer that Paul uses and encourages us to use when we desire for God to make an impact through us.

No one understood prayer better than Jesus. Listen as he shows us the elements of what makes prayer great and a few principles that are helpful to understand as we communicate with God.

When it comes to faith, we often believe that doubt takes us out. It makes us feel less than and often like a "faith failure." Yet when he discusses doubt, Jesus doesn't damage or disparage us. He encourages us to see doubt as a doorway to deeper faith.

No one wants to be sized up and written off. Yet we all seem to struggle with being unnecessarily critical and judgmental of others. What did Jesus have to say about judgment?

Worry is synonymous with life for many of us. But Jesus prescribes a solution for his followers that focuses energy and attention on him instead of worry.

Sin is a force that's held all of us back. Jesus tells his followers that he refuses to condemn us in sin, and that out of that forgiveness we are given the power to actually overcome sin.

All of us have turned away from something in our lives because it felt like fear was overwhelming us. Yet Jesus challenges his followers to understand that even when we encounter something fearsome, we don't have to be afraid.

Jesus asks all who would seek to follow him a critical question: "Who do you say I am?" And if we believe Jesus is who he says that he is, it engenders a meaningful response.
