Listen in as we talk about some areas of vulnerability and then explore what God says about it.

The Holy Spirit is Near by Encouraging Word

One "yes" to God can change the trajectory of countless lives, don't forget the importance of quick obedience.

It's easy to put a bunch of pressure on yourself to make the right decisions every single time- the truth is, the Holy Spirit wants to help lead and guide you with peace- not anxiety.

I learned a bit of alliteration a while back that helps to bring clarity when making decisions. Ask your parents, your pastors, and follow the peace of God.

PARENTS-PASTORS-PEACE.

I get the privilege of calling Dorette Schaal my mom. Most people who know her know that she has a heart for God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), a heart for hospitality (making people feel welcome and comfortable), and a heart for encouragement (helping people know that they can do it)- the combination of these traits both inspires me to be like her and blesses me because I know her.

In this Eword, I ask my mom a little about her experience as a mother and I throw in my two cents as an aunt and dog mom ;)

Moms, I can't imagine how often what you do is under appreciated, but I want you to know that there is nothing like growing up with a mom that believes in you and loves you wholeheartedly - I have so many good things to say about parents that stand on the (figurative and literal) front lines for their kids, parents that break unhealthy cycles of living before their kids ever have to deal with it, parents that pray for their kids, and parents that show their kids how good God is and what a joy it is to serve Him.

*Also parents who remind their kids to wash their hands after they go to the bathroom.

We honor you this week, moms, the world will see the fruit of your labor for generations.

Last week we talked about how to practically pursue the things of God, today we'll talk about the other half, why we need His grace.

Trusting that God is who He says He is and that He will do what He says He will can change your entire life. We talk about trust in this Eword, join us as we encourage each other to live the lives we were created to!

During this season of Lent we're hoping you take some extra time to reflect on what God has done and what He is doing. Also, allowing time to search your heart to see any areas that require change and then to put the effort in to make change.

One of the four focuses of Lent is Prayer and we thought we talk about it with you!
