All of us are fighting battles. What we do not realize many times is the source of those battles. Many of them are spiritual in nature. The good news is that we have victory through Jesus!

In this weeks podcast we are discussing the fact that we are of great worth. The Bible speaks to us about the need not to worry because of how valuable that we are to God. Do you realize the intrinsic worth that God sees in you?Through the many experiences of life and interactions with people it is easy sometimes to lose sight of the worth that God places on us and sees in us. This is not just another feel good conversation. This is a deep look at God's healing grace. May this bless you and heal you at a level that you may have never thought possible.

Success and Failure. It is interesting how the Church has come to see these two ideas the same way that those without Jesus do. Jesus never called us to be successful. He called us to be faithful. The only way as a Christian that we can be labeled a failure is if we unfaithful to what God has called us to do and be. Satan uses the metrics of the world to defeat us in our thinking and emotions in order to prevent us from really seeing what makes a difference for the Kingdom of God and in life. Many of us have been struggling with this. This idea of faithfulness has become a key focus of what God has been having me speak into the lives of others. I know it has been a battle ground in my life. It is vital to know what is really important to God. This podcast will bring you hope, relief and encouragement.

All of us deal with those dark nights of the soul from time to time. For some of us it is a short duration. For others it is an extended struggle. It is good to know that we are in good company when we do. Many of the those who are strong in faith deal with depression. David, Paul, Peter. Even the great preacher Charles Spurgeon.

Truth is important. Without it there is no certainty. Jesus said that "you shall know the truth and the truth will make you free". Jesus also said. " I am the way the truth and the life."

Power is an intoxicating thing. Being close to power can be an intoxicating attraction. Today on the second inauguration of Donald Trump there are many that will want to be in his inner circle.

Firsts matter. Do you remember your first love? Do you remember the way that you first loved Jesus. In this podcast we will discuss what first love is. It is a deep dive into our walk with the Lord and how first love looks in daily life.

At this very moment the second largest city in the USA is burning. Is this the Judgement of God? What is the appropriate response of Christians to such a disaster? What can we do to make a difference. I just felt an urgency to speak to this moment in history.

As Christians we live our life IN faith and By Faith. The Bible is filled with people who are champions of the faith. Hebrews Chapter 11 is often called - God's Hall of Faith. If the Bible were still being written today many of us would be in that "Hall". There are incredible stories of victory that we read about. What many miss is that there were many in that great "Hall" that did not receive the promises in their lifetime. Yet God still calls them people of incredible faith. This Podcast will encourage and challenge all of us to be what I call- People of Hebrews 11 End of Chapter faith.

When you live for Jesus, you always have hope. Like never before it is vital that we trust Jesus. Proverbs tells us to Trust in the Lord and to lean not on our own understanding. You can trust Him. Allow this podcast to encourage you as we step int a New Year!
