Join us this Christmas season, as we explore the deeper meaning behind the familiar slogan "Jesus is the reason for the season," challenging us to see ourselves as part of that reason, as Jesus came to bless the whole world. As we enter the Christmas season, this show calls upon us to actively participate in blessing our communities, both locally and globally.

Come celebrate our 100th episode!!!! Do you ever feel like life is ordinary, predictable, or even stuck? What if the Kingdom of God is hiding in those very places?

In this Kingdom, expect the unexpected – it's where the ordinary becomes extraordinary. 

You ever heard the expression, "Forgive and forget?" What if that is neither helpful nor true? On Sunday we'll explore the profound power of forgiveness as demonstrated in Luke 7:44-48. We will discuss how our ability to forgive others expands as we recognize the depth of God's forgiveness toward us. The message challenges the cliché of "forgive and forget," emphasizing that forgiveness is about releasing the right to retribution rather than dismissing past wrongs. 

Have you struggled with forgiving yourself for something in the past? How has God’s grace helped you move forward? Life isn’t about being perfect; it’s about progress, redemption, and finding the courage to say, “It’s okay."

You've heard of being "midwest nice" right? What if Jesus shows us a better way? He said: "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." Meekness shouldn't be confused with weakness; it's strength under control. It's the balance between rage and passivity, the courage to pause before reacting. True meekness, like Jesus and Moses showed, comes from God's strength within us.

We explore Psalm 37:4 and the transformative power of delighting in the Lord.
