Welcome Back to the Season Premiere of CROWNS! In this episode, I discuss a very important thing to realize for this new year, God prepares you for whatever he places you in or wherever he places you at.

Key Scriptures

1 Samuel 8, 9, 10

@Crowns.funke

In this episode, I discuss the importance of holding on to your peace despite the darkness in this world. When we focus on everything happening outside of us, we allow what is in us to be shaken so I encourage you all to focus on something higher and something greater, which is God.

Key Scriptures

Exodus 14:10-14

Matthew 14:22-33

@Crowns.funke

It's very easy to ascribe things to God that he wasn't involved in or even endorsed, but it can also be very dangerous. In this episode, I discuss how important it is for us to be discerning and to allow the spirit of God to lead us so that even in our offerings to God, that we don't offer recklessly.

Key scriptures:

Leviticus 10

Romans 8:34

@Crowns.funke

In this episode, I discuss how I thought that my access to God was determined by the level of hardship I faced. I didn't think that my life was as hard as the next person so I ignorantly assumed that there was a part of God that I just wasn't seeing or experiencing. It wasn't until I realized that God only needed me to desire to know him more, then he showed me more. 

Key Scriptures

Matthew chapter 5

Hebrews 11:1

In this episode, I discuss how become so comfortable with the uncomfortable that we almost forget that we are uncomfortable. We recognize that "this ain't it," but we stay right in it because of a lack of faith. We don't always believe that we can come to God and make request, even though his word says it! I highlight the story of Jabez and also discuss a bit more about the Israelites in Egypt.

Key Scriptures

1 Chronicles chapter 4 verses 9-10

In this episode, I discuss our inability to change a person's heart, perspective, and/or habits! The heart of a King truly does belong to God, so it really is only God that can change a heart. So rather than trying to change a person hearts, we should try our best to submit that persons heart to God and allow for him to do the work!

In this episode, I discuss the importance of consistency and the result of inconsistency. It's easy to forget that whatever you have been given requires a level of maintenance making it easy to lose what God has given you. My hope is that as you listen, you will be challenged to not let up!

In this episode, I discuss how dangerous it is to see any other thing besides the word of God as the standard of living.
