Thanks for listening!

What comes to mind when you hear these men?

I used to think of them as mean and the object of suffering. Not anymore. They went through something life changing and they were different on the other side. I want to be more like them.

They became different entirely.

What a blast we had talking about obedience, recovery, and testimonies with my Pastor Dane. What a guy and what stories we share.

PS- I promise I know his name.

Hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did.

A lot has happened in 2 years! I'm joined in this episode by my NEW WIFE, Misti. There's conversation about dating and following the voice of God. Hope you enjoy

This man is a disciple of Jesus. In this episode, we're joined by a fellow brother in Christ to talk about renewal and making ourselves available to God. I love this man's earnestness and candor

You've heard the phrase, but do you believe it? Is God any less good to you because of the situation you are in?

This episode I go through verses that describe his goodness. My prayer is that we would be more aware of His goodness to us.

Do you know the direction your life is going? Do you know your destination? Just like your maps app can get you to a destination is the same way God's Word can get you to life. You listen to your phones voice to get somewhere. Why wouldn't you listen to God's voice on what to do next? He wants to get you more Christlike.

There are things in your life that matter a great deal. Others don't matter at all. Do you know what those things are in your life?

Paul said that the greatest thing in life was knowing Jesus. He would count everything in his life a loss if that meant he could know Jesus better. Check out Philippians 3:7-14.

If it doesn't matter, it's wasting your time. If it does matter, value it and make it a priority.

Have you noticed that there are different terms for things? I think it's an attempt to change what's true and make it seem more inclusive and less harsh on the ear. But just because it's altered doesn't change the reality of it. I say we hold to what's true and call things what they are. Even if it might ruffle a few feathers.

If you mix water and orange juice, you don't have pure orange juice. It's diluted and weak. If you mix Jesus and something else, you have a pitiful Jesus who seems to need help. He is everything the Bible says he is. He is worthy of our obedience and trust. He stands alone as the only one in history that has done the things he did and has resurrected from the dead.
