We all have our battles. Our issues. Our struggles. Situations we just wish would end. Fights we just want to get through and move on. But Jesus didn't come so that we could just survive the battle. He defeated death and sin so that we could also have total victory. So how do we win? How do we finish the fight the right way? To round out our conversation Sticks and Stones, Mark Pomery explains the advantage we have as Jesus' followers, and why simply surviving life is no longer an option.

Some of the biggest battles we fight aren't against others, but against ourselves. The battles we combat in our own head and heart. Our enemy will invade our thoughts and try to accuse, belittle, and provoke us - and if we don't approach the fight in the right way, he can crush our spirit and derail our lives. So how do we defeat our enemies when they seems so much bigger and stronger than us? What is the right way to fight? In part 4 of our conversation Sticks and Stones, Mark Pomery teaches us the importance of approach, and why choosing the right weapon can ensure our victory and God's glory.

Today we take a further look at the life of King David, exploring the story that precedes the glory and how God uses His anointed people for His greater purposes. We learn about the passionate attitude it takes for a greater level of success!

As we set goals for a new year, we pray for God to give us chances to grow and increase in our gifts - make the team, get the promotion, become better at what we do. We can trust in the power of prayer, but there is more than just asking God to use the talents He's put inside us. In part 2 of our conversation Sticks and Stones, Mark Pomery gives us a new perspective on maximizing our unique talents, and teaches us tools we can use to develop all that God has entrusted to us.

In the new year, it's natural for us to want something new for our own lives. New resolutions. New endeavors. New circles of influence. We pray for God to give us new areas of our lives where we can make an impact. But what if something new isn't what God wants for us? What if He simply wants us to continue doing what we were already doing - but experience His anointing in a fresh new way? In Part 1 of our conversation Sticks and Stones, Mark Pomery teaches us what it means as Jesus followers to be anointed by God, and why where we're at right now could be exactly where God wants us.

Can you imagine what could happen if we gave control of our life to God? It's scary, but the benefits are world-altering. It's time we start taking risks and making decisions the world doesn't understand. Hear what life can look like when we let go ... when we decide to have Ridiculous Faith.
