Following Jesus is hard from the moment we pick up the Bible and the light of God's Word shines into the darkness of our sins. Yet, following Him is worth the cost! Don't turn around when things get tough and you feel like you are in the wilderness. Remember what you have been set free from and the true life Jesus has given you.

Take a walk down two different roads with us today. Let's see that sin comes with a cost, a very great cost. It is only in walking with Jesus that we find real hope and true life. He's calling to each of us, "Follow me."

God is the same yesterday, today, and forever! This truth is life-changing and emboldening. The God of the impossible that we see in the Bible is the same God working in our lives today. It's time as a Church and as Christian parents to fearlessly follow God and experience the blessing of living our life by faith.

You will have seasons in your life that will feel like Jericho, day 6. You've followed God's ways. You've been trusting that his plan is the best. But, you have yet to see him come through in victory. This podcast in an encouragement to stay the course. Our God does not fail, no matter how impossible things may feel on day six. Don't forget, day seven is coming!

I don't think we realize how much of our day we hear lies or speak them to ourselves. While most people brush off lying as nothing serious, that is, well, a lie. Lies are dangerous and can enslave us down a road of destruction. God offers us freedom by knowing, speaking, and living by the truth of God's Word.

We can't compromise. We can't conform. We can't bow to the pressure. When it comes to making decisions that will impact our children's faith, they need us to think beyond the immediate to their eternity. They need us rooted in God's Word and ready to stand at the moment of decision.

Who doesn't like life all neat and tidy? Yet, what if it's best for us and for our families to get messy? What if it's best for the church to step into the mess of others? In this podcast, let's talk about why it's important and a blessing to get messy as Christians.

Maybe the best thing any of us can do right now is just stop. Less talking. Less thinking. Less planning. It's time to stop and spend time with God.

Are you selfish? Me too. Selfish ambition is listed in the Bible as an act of the flesh. In other words, it comes naturally to all of us as sinners. Yet, as Christians, we live life by the Spirit where we daily die to our fleshly desires. So, what does this look like with selfishness?

Have you ever felt this way? You are questioning where God wants you or what His purpose is in the place He has you. I think we can all relate as we have all found ourselves in this situation at least once. The great news is you aren't stuck. There is something you can do.
