In this episode, we look at what exactly joy is. Joy is a crucial part of our Christian life. People notice the joy that we have in our lives, and if we are truly living joyful lives, it becomes contagious. In order to truly operate in joy we have to have a good working knowledge of what it really is and subsequently we need to know what exactly it means to rejoice. We can not take these two important aspects of our faith for granted. We can't just assume we know what they are, we need to delve into the scripture to see what God has to say about joy and rejoicing, and once we understand what God means by these things, we have to apply this understanding in our own lives and operate in joy and truly rejoice. This is God's will for our lives. 

In this episode, we look at not just understanding God as the Lord of our lives, but understanding Him as our Father. Fatherhood is an important part of who God is. Understanding Him as our Father is inseparable from understanding His true character. Throughout this episode, we go throughout scripture to show seven different attributes of God's character that make Him the good Father that he is. God is not just our Father, He is a good Father and the attributes that we find present in His character, He desires for us to follow and imitate in our own lives. 

In this episode, we look at where exactly joy comes from. Joy is a fruit of the Spirit. It is very important that we learn where we can find joy, it can greatly change our lives for the better if we get it and operate in it. Joy is not the same as happiness, they are very different, and we have to understand them as such. If we are to truly have joy, and be joyful Christians, we need to go to the source. We need to get joy from the only place it comes from, and we explore this source throughout this episode. We are called to be joyful, we can't ignore this calling, we have to go to the source and truly experience joy for ourselves.

In this episode, we talk about seizing the opportunity. All throughout our lives we experience opportunities that God desires for us to seize upon. They may be opportunities to bless others or opportunities for us to get blessed, or even opportunities just to worship God, but it is our job to act on these when we get the chance. We look throughout scripture to find times when the people of God seized the opportunities that they were given and we see how we can follow their example in our own lives. It makes a difference when we take the opportunities given to us, and we need to make the choice today to seize the opportunity.

In this episode, we look at the importance of trust and love. We also see the difference between trusting and entrusting, God wants to have a personal experience with us, on an intimate level. He wants to go beyond trust with us, God wants to be able to entrust us. This is what makes the difference between those who make a difference for the Kingdom of God and those who don't. We look at what makes a personal relationship what it is and how we need to translate those elements to our relationship with God. It's time that we take stock of our relationship with God and make sure that not only does God love and trust us, but can He entrust us? The answer to this makes a big difference. We need to make the choice today to operate in trust and love!

In this episode, we look at the day of darkness. Right now we are living in hard days and we look at why that is. We find, that there is a famine of the Word of God all around the world today, the light is being withheld from people, and darkness is being brought upon them in it’s place. As Christians we need to find out our role so that we can better come against the darkness. There are a number of things we must do. It’s within our power to change these dark days into bright days, but we need to take initiative and act. Let’s make the decision today to be the light of the world shining forth during the day of darkness!

In this episode, we look at the Lord’s cup, we go throughout the scripture to show the importance of the imagery of the cup and what we need to learn from it. There are two different cups that the Lord has. One is reserved for the wicked and the other is reserved for His people. Jesus has already drank of the cup that we deserved and now it is our job to drink of the new and better cup that He offers. Let’s make the choice today to drink the fullness of His new and better cup!

In this episode, we study legacy. Legacy is a very important topic, that is not nearly covered enough today. We all understand that life on this earth ends at some time and we are all faced with the question of what we will leave behind. This is a question that we all must ask ourselves. We look at what legacy we are called to leave behind as the people of God, and how we leave it. We see that we are called to not only leave a legacy but to live a legacy. Legacy is present all throughout scripture and we are called to not only be givers of legacy but also partakers of legacy. Let's make the choice today to live a legacy. 

In this episode, we go throughout the scriptures to study humility. We look at why we need to be humble, how to be humble, and what living in humility looks like, lived out in a practical way. We will see throughout the Bible, the effects that have occurred because of a lack of humility. Humility is a great attribute that we are called to exemplify in our lives, and we should take this charge seriously. Once we are living in humility it will produce fruit in our lives, and we will be blessed. It will bring us closer to God, and it will bring us freedom because we take the focus off of ourselves and place it rightly on God. Let's make the choice today to live in humility. 

In this episode, we look at the importance of perspective, and not only perspective but eternal perspective. This makes all the difference. Our perspective is of great importance in our Christian life, it can change how we see things and understand them. This goes beyond attitude and focus, this is our central reference point. We need a perspective not rooted in temporal things but one rather rooted in eternal things. We need to understand that our perspective is what prepares us for the future that God has set apart for us, the right perspective will give us hope, peace and joy.
