  • Can you?
    Paul's famous statement "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" is an oft-quoted and cited declaration in the Christian life.
    Yet, Paul didn't say "You can do all things...." He made a very personal assertion based on his experience and life with Jesus.
    Let's take a look at Philippians 4:10-13 and what it truly means to make this statement over our own lives and how this demonstration in leadership also gives us a lens as we discern truth from the other voices and influences in the world around us.

  • Commitment isn't for the faint of heart
    Pain, plot twists and suffering don't always mean you're moving in the wrong direction....sometimes, it's the evidence to stay the course.
    This past Saturday's women's event I co-hosted was one I had committed to weeks prior to the circumstances that complicated my life in the midst of it all.
    What does perseverant faith look like? What are indicators to remain steadfast with things we have committed to that may require a fight for? How valuable do you believe your life is to the world around you and to God?

  • Halloween- innocent or not?

    Is the celebration of Halloween (at any level) innocent? Are haunted houses and horror movies doorways to evil or fun ways to get an adrenaline rush? Does God care about involvement with these festivities?


    The beginning of humankind came with free-will. It hasn't changed since, even this side of the cross. We still have the ability to make choices- and- our choices reveal what we come into agreement with. That means we say "yes" to the things we watch, listen to, binge on, attend, etc.


    Philippians 4:8 advises us to think on what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent and praisworthy....ergo, anything not in this list is not worth our attention.


    So, is there any room (even a tiny bit) for us to focus on anything that's not? Even when it's not popular to do so?

  • Shame. Conviction and Entitlement.
    The Prodigal Son is a familiar parable. In our study of this illustration, how can we relate with each brother? Where do the themes of shame and conviction come into play? What is the difference between shame and conviction? How do we keep from having an entitled culture in the church when God is in the business of welcoming everyone home and celebrating?

  • Are we attracting TO or distracting FROM Jesus?

    Clarifying on past episodes- YES, community and the local church are absolutely important and needed in our pursuit of Jesus. However, our identity is NOT in our church- our identity is IN Christ. So, what does a healthy church and believer-centered communities look like? What should their function be? As the church are we creating culture that attracts people to Jesus or distracts them away from Him?

  • When life happens

    What do we do with the unexpected?


    Jesus on the Water: Matthew 14:22-33

    3 Applicable points in the midst of Intersection:

    1. Take Courage- security is NOT in understanding

    2. Recognize Jesus- Where is God in the situation?

    3. Don't Fear


    We are not to be BRACED against circumstances, but we are EMBRACED by Jesus in all circumstances


    Other Scripture:

    Romans 8:28

    1 John 4:18

    Ephesians 3:20

    Ephesians 6:10-20

    Isaiah 49:25

    James 1:17


    You don't have to have this- God HAS this!

  • Offense can create a fence...

    How many times do our own beliefs, understanding of truth, theology, tradition, etc get in the way of getting to know God? Is it possible these exact places God is desiring you to explore and, perhaps, lay down those things we hold so tightly in order to have greater access and freedom to Him....maybe?

  • Why Jesus?
    Going after relationship with God naturally comes to a point of questioning who He is and How we can connect with Him. We want to talk to Him- so where’s a starting point? I suggest that like receiving an inheritance from a family member in this world, God has provided the full inheritance of relationship with Him through one way and that way IS the Trust in which the inheritance has been held and the starting point to accessing God. One way isn’t exclusive- I suggest it is fully inclusive.
