It’s easy to decide that you want to make changes to your life but it’s a whole other thing to actually do it. New Year’s resolutions are a great example of how the plan doesn’t always become the reality. Well, today, Pastor Daniel shares some practical steps that will help you actually operate out of God’s wisdom. Choosing to focus on others is one of these things. Serving other people will help you break free from the selfish, prideful wisdom of the world.

Every phone and computer has an operating system that dictates how it works. Everything they do flows through that framework. Well, the same thing happens with each decision you make. What you do is filtered through your life’s operating system. Today, Pastor Daniel shares that the Bible calls this system “wisdom.” But, as you’ll learn, not all wisdom is from God. Keep listening to learn more about the wisdom that should be directing your life.

Today, Pastor Daniel is joined by pastor and author Caleb Kaltenbach. They’ll discuss how empathy should be a vital aspect of your interactions with the people in your life. Caleb shares that your willingness to journey with someone and acknowledge their reality is an essential part of what it means to love others.

Face it. You’re like everyone else…an imperfect person living in a broken world. You mess up all the time. You know it…and so does everyone around you. Well, today, Pastor Daniel shares that owning up to your mistakes shows people that Jesus is real. They’ll see it in your humility and hear it in your apologies. You’ll be challenged to be honest with others and humbly ask for forgiveness. Not only will this change your world, but it may change theirs too.

Small but mighty. Sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest impact. From the tiny paper cut that hurts so much to the stranger’s smile that made your day… the little things matter. Well, today, Pastor Daniel shares that even though your tongue is small, it can change the world in big ways. He invites you to consider the tremendous power and influence your words have. You’ll be reminded that you’re responsible for how you use them.

Part of developing a faith that works is by pinpointing what doesn’t work. And that’s what Pastor Daniel is encouraging you to do today. Everyone has mindsets or behaviors that don’t line up with God’s way. And not only do these hold you back from living out the life that He wants for you, but they keep you from having a bigger impact on the world. Instead, say yes to Jesus and invite Him into those broken places. Let Him change you from the inside out.

There’s faith. And then there are actions. They are two different things but how should they come together? Today, Pastor Daniel invites you to unpack what the book of James has to say about this. You’ll discover that God wants your faith to impact how you live every day. You do this by letting what’s in your heart move outward. When you put your feet on what you believe, you’ll share God’s love and grace with the people around you in tangible ways.

Today, Pastor Daniel and Billy are joined by Toni and Carey Nieuwhoff, who talk about a time of major struggle in their marriage and in Carey’s career. They share that not dismissing each other’s emotions and managing their time and energy differently have played a huge part in helping them get to a healthier place.

Love God. Love others. It’s the refrain of the Bible. This essential part of walking with Jesus is what Pastor Daniel calls Christianity 101. And it sounds really good… but, man, it is hard to do! Well, thankfully, the book of James has a lot to say on this topic. Today, Pastor Daniel explains that loving impartially requires you to change your perspective and think biblically instead of politically. God’s way is all about self-sacrificial love.

How did Jesus treat people? Are you following His example? Ugh…this really is where the rubber meets the road as a follower of Jesus. Because, let’s be honest, loving others is hard. Period. And doing that without being influenced by social status, political differences, or any other factors makes it even harder. Well, today, Pastor Daniel will help you walk through how you can love like Jesus did.
