The Summer Olympics kick off later this week and we're taking the opportunity to explore the concept of success: how our culture views it versus how God views it. So often, we can get so caught up in the pursuit of achievement that we lose sight of what matters most in this life, thus causing ourselves and others unnecessary heartache - all because we're chasing things that have no eternal significance. Today, we're going to be redefining success. I hope you'll join me!

Many Christians believe that doubt is wrong - that, once conversion has happened, faith should be easy and we should never question God. But if we look at Scripture and practical, personal experience, we discover an entirely different picture: doubt is common, and it is natural! Doubt is a part of the realistic human story. Yet it's what we do when we doubt that makes all the difference. Today, we're looking at how to believe when you dis-believe and why doubt can actually prove to be the deepening of your faith.

July 4th is coming up in a few days - a time when Americans remember and celebrate their independence as a nation and pay tribute to the brave patriots who helped found it over 240 years ago. In today's episode, I take you back to a pivotal point in the Revolutionary War and share some life-lessons we can all learn about what it means to see a test through to its conclusion. When situations seems confusing or hard to understand, it might seem like the easy thing to quit, but what if things are just about to turn around? We might miss out on the greatest redemption story ever simply because we decided it was too hard to continue. We're talking about summer soldiers versus winter warriors, so come join me today as we discuss the importance of perseverance.

We all have chapters in our stories that we're afraid to reveal. There's a part in each of us that just wants others to see the best aspects of ourselves - our successes, our achievements, our talents - and wants to hide from them the worst - our failures, our hurts, our struggles. This episode is all about embracing all of your story...not just the parts you like. There's beauty even in your scars and, today, we're going to be talking about how to let your narrative speak. God has written the story of us this way for a reason, and it's time we begin accepting it. It's time we start to live as wounded healers.

Most of think of time as the clock, but what if God looks at time differently? What if time was about "moments ripe for their intended purpose" rather than mere minutes or hours? Today's episode offers a fresh perspective on the concept of time and history: how we can't begin to glimpse how God is moving until we live through an experience and then take a look back.

Depression affects most people at some point in their lives and, for a few, the darkness is a constant companion. But what if depression could be seen as a hidden superpower?
