We typically think of work either a curse or as something that we do so that we can do what we really love.  However, when we look more deeply into  reality, we see that work is an inherent good that humanity was designed to do.  Ps. Ike Shepardson encourages us to see that work is deeply connected to God's nature and to human nature.

Life is complicated, but what we see in Jesus' life and death is a simple message of redemption of everything in our lives. In fact, as Ps. Scott Lasher shares with us, what Jesus has done for us brings a holistic kind of healing that changes everything about our lives for the better.

Athletes who win a race never give up. It's the same for Jesus' followers. Ps. Ike Shepardson explains that following Jesus leads to maturity and to an attitude that diligently pursues God through the Scriptures and through community.

What does it mean to say that God speaks? If we are open to listen, we will find that God's words bring encouragement and correction, timely help and guidance. Ps. Ike Shepardson encourages us that all of this is possible for those who are willing to apprentice their lives to Jesus.

Ps. Ike shares on the Holy Spirit as the One Who Convicts in John 16:5-11

Anything that is worth doing takes diligence. For apprentices of Jesus, this means a day-by-day and moment-by-moment focus on obedience to God. Ps. Tyler Zabor helps us to focus on following Jesus "today."  In doing so, we will have the rest that we need as we model our lives after Jesus.
