Everybody loves a good homecoming story. So, lets take a few minutes to reflect on our own. When God calls us back to His arms, there is peace, redemption, mercy, wisdom, grace and so much more. If home is where the heart is, let home be where He is!

The team talks about failure. Is there a failure in your life that you thought meant the end of everything? The team has had those, too. But God views "failure" differently than we do. Tune in and find out why failure is an option.

The team talks about the importance of discipline. It doesn't necessarily make sense that more free time means it's harder to stay disciplined, but we examine why it can sometimes be too much of a good thing. Balance is important in discipline.

Did you ever play baseball? If so, did you ever hit a homerun? Well, Steve did. And he can't wait to tell you about it. But more than that, he can't wait to tell you about how God meets us with His strength to give us the strength to do things we'd otherwise consider improbable. Nobody does impossible like He does.

Have you ever felt like you have trouble separating parts of your life in a healthy? Worse yet, have you ever not realized it at all? The roles we play in different parts of our life can often intersect. How to manage that intersection is essential. Let's talk about how!

In this episode, the team talks about difficulties in leadership, parenting, or any position of authority where THEY JUST WON'T LISTEN! It can feel defeating. But, we must resolve to show the same grace the Father has shown us. 

In this episode, the team talks about how to deal with disappointment. Have you ever chased someone or something that just doesn’t want to be caught? It can be demoralizing. The team is grateful that we know The Good Shepherd! We let ourselves down, and so do other people. He never does.
