There is immense value in simply not quitting! Over time, the constant drip of our actions (positive or negative) will add up. The only way to fail is to quit. Winners never quit!

Does it ever get frustrating because it seems like God isn’t saying anything? Pastor Nicole Crank shares that just because we don’t hear Him, it doesn’t mean He isn’t speaking. Learn the keys to truly having conversations with God. The more time we spend with Him, the easier it is to know when He says something back. Get still. Get quiet. Get ready for a word from God just for you!

I remember being pregnant at 17…Yes, ME! I had some choices to make. Do I keep the baby or…. Choices are hard and we’re talking about a BIG ONE this week: Abortion. Maybe you were pressured to have on but made the choices not to go through with it and faced some consequences. Or maybe you did go through with it and are struggling at this very moment. My friends, Bridget Van Means and Linda Seidler, are here to help us answer the questions of what we do with the regret, the emotions of feeling unwanted. Do you live in guilt and shame for the rest of your life? No!!! You’re coming out of this! You’re not staying where you are because you’re an overcomer by the blood of Jesus!

How can we hear better? Pastor Nicole Crank teaches how hearing the right things leads to a brighter future. The enemy will do his best to get us confused about what we’re listening to. That’s why we create a space to hear from God. When we hear Him, we start believing what He says about us. When we believe His word, we start to say it. Then we can finally see the promises He’s placed before us.

Even when it all goes wrong, you can thrive in spite of the moment. Don’t get caught in survival mode. It’s God’s will for you to thrive!

Worry keeps us busy, but does it ever get us anywhere? Pastor Nicole teaches us how to disarm the stress trying to drain our lives. We’re called to walk in the peace of God, not live worried to pieces. By following God’s keys to the path of peace, we can kick anxiety to the curb. Don’t let stress get the best! We’re too blessed to be stressed!

Don’t you love the smells that happen in the kitchen? Did you know God has a ‘kitchen’ and He’s preparing a table for YOU in the presence of your enemies?!? And He’s not waiting for you to get your act together to do it! I’m in my friend, Heather Lindsey’s kitchen, literally, cooking up some dishes this week and ‘dishing’ on how God takes the good, bad, and even secret ingredients of your life, puts it together, and through the heat, takes you from your pain to the promise!
