God does not always ask for the most expensive thing; He frequently asks for the most excruciating thing — and as followers of Christ, He calls for us to bear our cross daily. While that may look different for each one of us, one thing is for certain: it will cost you. So how do you prepare for it? What if it’s a direction you don’t want to take? What if it’s a decision you don’t want to make? And what does it look like to die daily?

Remembrance of the past is key to preparing you for the promise to come. But how do we remember? What should we remember? And what transformation can happen when choose to remember?

Scripture makes it clear — God wants to be known for generosity. And if that’s HIS heart, why should it not be ours as well? What would it look like as believers, if we became famous for generosity? How do we practically care for those in need? And how can we reflect the heart of the Father in our everyday lives?

God doesn’t want to be first, He IS first. The question is, do we make Him that in our lives? When it comes to tithing, the Bible is clear. So what is the tithe? Why do we tithe? And how does the way we see it change the way we see everything else?

If you don’t understand that money is a tool, the enemy will use money in your life to turn you into his own personal tool. So how do we use this tool that God has entrusted us with? What are some practical ways we can use it to invest in our relationships? And how can we use it to invest in ourselves and the life God has created for us to live?

As followers of Christ, we are collectively called to be one thing: a light. However, it’s not as easy as it may seem. So how DO we become a light? What does a light look like? What are the barriers to becoming a light? And what happens when we all step into that calling?

As believers, we must understand that spiritual warfare is real. And if a child of God does not understand they are a soldier at war, they are unknowingly living as a casualty of war. So then, how must we live in the midst of a fight? How do we recognize attacks from the enemy? How do we overcome darkness? And how can we partner with God through it all?

Understanding a biblical perspective of debt is crucial to living a healthy, Christian life. The effects of debt can not only handcuff what God wants to ultimately do through you, but if we don’t get it under control, it can be crippling. So where does debt come from? How does God actually feel about debt? And if you’re currently in debt, how do you get out of it?

Because we all have different experiences, we all see money in different ways. However, as believers in the body of Christ, the question is: how does God see money? What does the Bible say about it? And how can we better steward what God has placed in our hands once we grasp this new understanding?

We all know that God is sovereign, having all power and all authority. However, that doesn’t mean as believers, we just get to sit back and enjoy the ride. God asks US to partner with HIM to bring His Kingdom to earth. But how do we do that? Where do we start? And what can it look like when we come alongside God in partnership to what He is already doing on the earth?
