Do you have a bad case of the Mondays? In today's motivational minute Pastor Toby talks about the struggle of finding our purpose in a world that constantly challenges our faith. Tune in and turn your Monday around!

How do I humble myself? Humility, according to the Bible, is not something we can just up and do. In order to win the battles of broken bonds and spiritual warfare, we must put a daily effort into staying humble. But what does that look like? Here are a few examples of how to humble yourself before God.

These are just a few examples of ways you can practice humility. We encourage you to study the word, open your heart and mind to the Holy Spirit and seek his wisdom. Have a great week! 

In today's motivational minute, Pastor Toby talks us through identity struggles. For as long as humans existed we've let the opinions of other define us. In ways big and small. Have you ever heard a rumor said about you and just couldn't get it out of your head? You may get angry, discouraged, or even feel betrayed. Maybe you're constantly comparing yourself to others around you. How do we change this way of thinking? It starts with letting go of your need for acceptance from others and allowing yourself to find your identity in Christ. We hope you find encouragement in this today!

Every day we make a choice to live in pain or live in peace. What would your life look like if you chose to live in peace? God's plan is to give us hope and a future but, God says that we WILL go through pain. Pain and loneliness can be overcome! When we learn to confess to God and seek His strength, we can endure any of the heartaches that we face!

What’s God’s plan for your life? It’s one of the most common and confusing questions we all have as Christ-followers. But, if we’re honest, the idea of God’s plan for our lives can be a little overwhelming. Sometimes in life we find ourselves still dreaming the dream but not living the dream. Feeling "stuck"  has the potential to lead to discouragement and unhappiness. God offers healing for those who are searching for answers to both their identities in Christ and those struggling to see the next step in life. The good news is God had a plan long before your first breath. Find a new sense of Hope, grow your Faith to be strong, and lean into His presence. He has something in store for you.

To be holy is to be different than the world. The Lord God commands those who follow Him to reflect His character and love. We find that holiness does not just get rubbed onto you. You could have contact with the most holy people, but you need to respond and make a choice to live a holy life. God has a bigger and better plan for each of us, and that involves holiness.

With every victory comes more endurance to breakthrough the difficult things we face in life. With God and all of heaven cheering you on, remember to never give up! Galatians 5:16 says "So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves." As you walk in step with the spirit you will begin to bear it's fruits; love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Stay Faith Strong!

In today's social media driven culture we see more and more of the trends "exposing" and "cancelling". We all have parts of us we would rather keep hidden and parts of us we want to show off to the world. This can easily paint a false picture of who you "really are". God knows everything about us down to the number of hairs on our head. (Luke 12:7) He knows our bad habits, our dirty secrets, hears our intrusive thoughts, and yet he still loves us more than we could ever imagine. Find delight in that today. Remember that you are his creation and you are worth dying for. 

Have you ever had a broken heart? Or maybe you're brokenhearted right now. Pastor Toby's encouragement in todays motivational minute is that God is always close to the brokenhearted. Psalm 34:18-19 says "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed. The righteous person faces many troubles, but the Lord comes to the rescue each time." Place your broken heart in the hands of the Father, trust and believe that he is near, and get ready for rescue.

What is the focus of The Last Days? Is it the mark of the beast or the anti-christ? Too often, the end times are associated with darkness, fear and worry. Maybe you aren't ready spiritually? Will the Lord recognize you as His good and faithful servant? The time to start preparing your heart and trusting in the Lord is now. Eternal life is only found in Jesus!
