The key is to choose God’s way and hold possessions loosely. Jesus warned that “a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions” (Luke 12:15). Money can be a useful servant but a dangerous master. Property is to be used, enjoyed, shared, and given—but never hoarded. Paul reminds us that “the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil” (1 Timothy 6:10). When wealth becomes our focus, it shackles our hearts, hardens our spirits, and blinds us to what truly matters.

Welcome to Season 4 of Midweek Rise Up!

We're starting off this new season with an awesome episode featuring my husband, the incredible, Charlie Kirk. We sit down together at AmericaFest 2024 discussing a multitude of topics, but mostly explaining what this past year has been like for us, as a family, individually, and also the power of literally surrounding everything to the Lord and saying, "Here I am, Lord. Use me." But, be prepared, because God will do just that, use you, in the most POWERFUL ways.

We hope this episode encourages you to be a good spouse, love your children, and use your life in a way that glorifies God.

Go Rise Up,

E

God loves you—personally, powerfully, and passionately. His love is not distant or indifferent; it is intentional and ever-present. Would He save you only to leave you in fear? Would He teach you to walk, only to watch you stumble? Would He endure the agony of the cross for your sins, only to ignore your prayers? Of course not.Look to Jesus, and you will see the heart of God. Watch as He reveals the Kingdom—His power over disease and death, His ability to restore what was lost, His tears for a broken world, and His authority to bring healing. Whether we recognize it or not, His Kingdom is advancing, His love is unshaken, and He is always listening.

We hope that you enjoy this episode. 

God bless you and Go Rise Up!

Comparison is a thief. It can steal joy, it can steal self-worth, it can steal purpose. It robs people of peace and contentment. God specifically and sovereignly designed you with unique gifts and specific purpose. No matter what season you’re in, be humble and present and find ways to grow. Remember that you’re constantly evolving–for better or for worse. Don’t let comparison put out the Spirit’s fire that is within you. Astonish a mean world with your acts of selflessness and kindness and proclaim the truth unapologetically. Remember, your DNA is NOT a mistake. There is only one you so stand firm in the middle of the chaos in culture. Continue to live each day with a grateful heart, knowing that although you are not in control of certain things, you are deeply loved by the One who is.

We hope that you enjoy this episode.

We are more than flesh and bone. We are spiritual beings made in the image of God. Jesus is the Son of God and the one and only Way. If you believe this and accept Christ as your Savior, and ask for forgiveness for your sins, then you are a new creation. When Jesus hung on the cross, God didn’t just see Jesus–He saw you, He saw me. God wiped our slate clean. He removed our old life and put new life in us. That new life is Christ who lives in us. We are bought by the blood of the Lamb, Christ Jesus, and that purchase isn’t just a changed life; it’s an exchanged life.  Because Christ lives in you, you are empowered by His spirit to take ownership of your callings, roles and the responsibilities He has ordained for your life. God wants to use you to change lives, to change the world. You are more than equipped by His Spirit to help make heaven crowded.

We hope that you enjoy this episode.

Hardships do not discriminate and trials come in many different shapes and sizes. When they do hit, remember that you possess the fruits of the Spirit. You have the gift of joy, which is essentially a superpower. You are equipped for the battle. God is for you. He goes before you. He will never forsake you. He will never leave you. His love is unrelenting and immovable. When your joy is challenged, draw near to God. He is the only one who holds all things together. Don’t focus on the storm. Don’t focus on the lack. The chaos. The loss. Instead, focus on the masterpiece that God is accomplishing and working in you and through you. Don’t cling to crisis; cling to Christ.

We hope that you enjoy this episode.

Growing up I was consistently told that “hope is not a strategy.” This made no sense to me. I thought it was silly to say that it wasn’t because we’re told in 1 Corinthians 13:13 that the three things that will last forever are faith, hope and love. I kept my own “hope strategy” to myself and fought back on the premise I was repeatedly told.

Choosing hope will be more difficult at certain times than others. Sometimes the unexpected hits and it throws us off course and challenges our hope. In these trying times, you must remember that you’re wrapped in the loving arms of our God. He will catch you. He will carry you. He will lead and guide you. Remember that the Lord is our Shepherd who renews and restores our souls with hope.

In life, we will continually experience the unexpected but that’s the beauty of the promise of hope we have in Christ–we will not fail. View unshakeable hope as an adventure with God. Just you and Him in lockstep. Only God can take us into newness of life and opportunity. Only He can guide us into new places, experiences and opportunities beyond our feeble imaginings and wildest dreams.

Repentance is more than just sincere regret or remorse. It’s more than just discontinuing a sin. Though we are extended grace continuously, it’s essential that we check our hearts and make sure that we don’t use it as an opportunity to abuse God’s free and merciful gift. Just because you have the Holy Spirit inside you doesn’t give you permission to sin, ask for forgiveness and then keep committing the same sin over and over again. Stay close to God. Keep that path clear. Stay within the jet stream of His will. View repentance as the gift that it is. Even though we don’t deserve it, it’s God’s beautiful way of saying, “Come back to me, child. Here is the path back to me. I love you, you are forgiven, now go and sin no more.”

In case you haven’t realized, we do not live in a world where everyone is wearing rose-colored glasses and basking in pure utopia. We live on a sinful, fallen earth and we know that the devil is the prince of this world. What God created for good, Satan wants to counterfeit and manipulate and use for evil. Don’t blame God for your “Why me?” moments. God may allow a storm to hit your life, just like Job, but He didn’t create it. None of us wants to endure pain and suffering but we are equipped to honor and glorify the Lord in the midst of it. We are enabled to clothe ourselves in the full armor of God. We have His Word, we have His Spirit, we have our salvation, and we have His promise that all that is wrong will one day be made right.

We hope that you enjoy this episode.

So many of us are afraid to be alone. We equate it with loneliness. We avoid it because silence is where our thoughts can sometimes be the loudest and our minds are where the enemy often tries to battle the hardest.

Throughout scripture, we read of God appearing to people in quiet places of solitude, giving leaders visions, or even speaking audibly.

If you find yourself alone in the quiet, it’s great to shift your mindset from selfish pursuits and to instead see it as a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a free moment alone with the Lord.

Prioritize time with God above all else. Praise Him and thank Him for all He has done. Offer Him the worship He is due. Ask Him to reveal what He is calling you to do in this season of life. Not last season. Not future seasons. But right now. Whether you’re standing on a mountain top or sitting in a valley. Seek Him fully. When you knock, you can be certain He’ll answer. He’s always ready for you to invite Him in.

We hope that you enjoy this episode. 

God bless you and Go Rise Up!
