If there is one thing that is uniting our society in this divided era, it is fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of what we hear in the media, and fear of what the future holds. But, the Jesus Platform is not based on fear, it is based on faith. When we open a Bible […]

The Jesus Platform opens minds, hearts, and hands to caring for those in need. “Refusing to let the world corrupt you” (James 1:27) means refusing to turn from the disasters and distresses that plague our world. When our hearts are tuned into these needs, God is able to provide great relief and love through our […]

Health care through God’s eyes has nothing to do with insurance policies or government regulations. Rather, it has to do with your personal care and the treatment of your mind, body and soul. A healthy life is a balanced, meaningful life.

When our lives are unmoored, we can easily be swept in any direction. The Jesus Platform is the solid foundation we need to root ourselves, our education and our life decisions in the values of God’s Kingdom.

Change is possible. Even when the clouds are rolling in and you feel overwhelmed with what’s to come, you can still change your perspective, your values, and where you find your center. When we shift our values from what we need to do to what is possible through Christ, we can weather any storm.

Many of us live with clenched fists. We hold onto our duties, our loved ones, and, perhaps most firmly, our possessions. Sometimes in the midst of a storm, its best to loosen our grip on what we have so that we can be prepared, with open palms, to what God desires to give us.

As the winds of responsibility and over-scheduling whip around us, its easy to be centered on ourselves. How can we be focused on anything but our needs and the needs of our family, friends, and work when life is moving at such an exhausting speed? But, when we shift our focus, and place God at […]

When the burdens of the everyday seem weightier than your relationship with and progress toward Christ, then you know you are dealing with a dilemma of priorities. The storm of life can push and pull us from the path of knowing God, but we should not use our responsibilities as excuses. The danger of getting […]

When our vision is filled with all of the tiny tasks and meetings and responsibilities of the everyday, it is easy to lose sight of what matters most. This week, we unpack Hebrews 12:1-2 and the challenge to remove from our lives the things, both good and bad, that cloud our focus and trip us […]

When Jesus washed his disciple’s feet, he did it to set an example. He could have just explained what it means to serve, but, instead, he decided to show us. In the same way, we should be showing our families, friends, and community what it looks like to get dirty and serve like Jesus.
