Hey Friend!

This is the second part of desire, sexual desire. Which is why the explicit rating.

Biblical truth about God's design for our physical and sexual desires, how we go wrong with God's perfect design (sexual immorality), but the beautiful good news of how we are forgiven and able to begin again.

You are worthy of waiting. You are not too far gone, too dirty, or addicted to start over. Jesus forgives and frees you.

In part one of A Hearts Desire, we’re looking at the word desire; what it is, what we want, what God wants and how He gives us (or not) our desires.

Don't miss the 2nd part of A Hearts Desire, when we will go a bit PG talking through a lot of trigger words; sex, sexiness, lust, beauty, intimacy and more.

You asked...so here's one of our first requested episodes.

How do we love God with all that we have?

Thanks to the Vision Youth student who asked for this talk!

Tune in today to hear how we can have a heart for our true first Love and get some practical ways on what that actually looks like.

All month we'll be leaning into things of the heart! Don't miss an episode...season two will be finished before you know it!

How did we become such busy people? Always on the go? How do we take time to undo the noise and just be with Jesus? Take a listen for how yoga transformed my life with meditation and how getting away with Jesus is everything! Silence and solitude is a must in our life’s journey!

2024 is coming but we can’t get to the new without the old!

The Israelites gathered twelve stones to remember God's goodness. May we not forget His faithfulness, either.

Joshua 4: 1-9, 19-24

After the entire nation had finished crossing the Jordan, the Lord spoke to Joshua: 2 “Choose twelve men from the people, one man for each tribe, 3 and command them: Take twelve stones from this place in the middle of the Jordan where the priests[a] are standing, carry them with you, and set them down at the place where you spend the night.”

4 So Joshua summoned the twelve men he had selected from the Israelites, one man for each tribe, 5 and said to them, “Go across to the ark of the Lord your God in the middle of the Jordan. Each of you lift a stone onto his shoulder, one for each of the Israelite tribes, 6 so that this will be a sign among you. In the future, when your children ask you, ‘What do these stones mean to you?’ 7 you should tell them, ‘The water of the Jordan was cut off in front of the ark of the Lord’s covenant. When it crossed the Jordan, the Jordan’s water was cut off.’ Therefore these stones will always be a memorial for the Israelites.”

8 The Israelites did just as Joshua had commanded them. The twelve men took stones from the middle of the Jordan, one for each of the Israelite tribes, just as the Lord had told Joshua. They carried them to the camp and set them down there. 9 Joshua also set up twelve stones in the middle[b] of the Jordan where the priests who carried the ark of the covenant were standing. The stones are still there today.

19 The people came up from the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and camped at Gilgal on the eastern limits of Jericho. 20 Then Joshua set up in Gilgal the twelve stones they had taken from the Jordan, 21 and he said to the Israelites, “In the future, when your children ask their fathers, ‘What is the meaning of these stones?’ 22 you should tell your children, ‘Israel crossed the Jordan on dry ground.’ 23 For the Lord your God dried up the water of the Jordan before you until you had crossed over, just as the Lord your God did to the Red Sea, which he dried up before us until we had crossed over. 24 This is so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the Lord’s hand is strong, and so that you may always fear the Lord your God.”

Winter Solstice came and went and the days now can become lighter and longer. The weariness and darkness doesn't last, friends. We can rejoice in Jesus because it's Him, the Light of the World, Who pushes us through our weary, dark days; this Christmas and all year.
