Trusting people isn't always easy, but it's so important to have a handful of healthy relationships in our lives built on trust. So, how can we have relationships built on trust? What if people break that trust, can we rebuild it? What does really trusting someone look like in real life? Join Brad Williams and I in this episode as we discuss how to build trust with those in our lives.

How do you make real life simple during quarantine? How do you help and reach out to others during this time of isolation? If we're "better together", how can we find community? Stay safe, stay well, and stay home, friends. We're praying for all of you during this time.

This is a crazy time in the world, one we'll surely all remember for the rest of our lives. Many of us are experiencing confusion, stress, anxiety, and so much more.

Join me this coming Monday as we journey through the book of John together for 21 days of devotionals leading up to Easter Sunday. My prayer is that these 21 days of reflection and meditation on scriptures would leave you all encouraged and strengthened in your faith, and that you would, then, use these devotionals to encourage those around you. I cannot wait to see what God does in us all as we grow together studying this powerful book of the Bible. Take a moment today to listen to my introduction of this series here, and then make sure to sign up for daily devotional notifications at pastorrustygeorge.com/21daystoEaster In Christ, Rusty George

Do you struggle to hear God when you pray? How do you know if it's God speaking, or just your own thoughts? In light of all that is happening in the world with COVID-19, we wanted today's episode to focus on how to talk to God in difficult times. So, we're releasing this episode early: Jan Johnson (spiritual director and author) joins us to discuss "How to Hear God When We Pray", and the message she has to share with us is so powerful. While we originally had this episode scheduled for a few weeks out, we pray that releasing it today gives you the encouragement and support that you need to talk to your Heavenly Father in the midst of confusion and anxiety.

Do our smartphones simplify our lives, or do they make things more complicated? If Jesus were here on earth today, how would he behave with a smartphone? Join Brad Williams and I as we discuss these questions and how we can all better balance our relationships with our smartphones as disciples of Jesus.

So many of us are living anxious lives and looking for the answers that only God can give. "Be anxious for nothing" (Philippians 4:6)is one of the most highlighted verses in the Bible for a reason. My personal journey with anxiety started when I was young and has taught me so much throughout the years. Join me in this episode as I conclude our anxiety series and share with you the letter I wrote myself during my most anxious season of life.

We follow Jesus… But, sometimes we need to be inspired by someone who looks a little more like Jesus than we do. Filmmaker David Schultz is a faith superhero that we can all be inspired by. David joins us in this episode to discuss his career in filmmaking, his faith, and more.
