When it comes to the topic of Responsibility, do we take responsibility when we need to do so or tend to blame others or pass the buck on to other people?   We’d like to think we have the strength of character to always choose the first option, but more than likely, we choose the second option by default. Taking responsibility for your life is no easy task.  Today we take a look at why we tend to pass responsibility to others and what we can do to begin taking responsibility for what happens in our own lives. 

Scriptures reference in this week's episode include Genesis 1:27-29, Genesis 3:8-13, 1 Peter 2:21, and Philippians 3:13-14.

Integrity is defined as the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness - at all times.  Are you displaying moral integrity at all times, both in the public eye and out of it?  What do you do - how do you react and respond - when someone puts your integrity in doubt?   We'll address these questions and I'll share personal experience in this week's episode.  

Scriptures this week include Philippians 4:8, Isaiah 54:17, Proverbs 10:9, Psalm 41:11-12, and Proverbs 28:18.

The seasons we experience in life are crafted for us.  While it is true that we have free will to make decisions about where we go and what we do, when we follow God’s plan for our lives, there are people, places, experiences, trials, and outcomes that we will face - in different seasons… and they were all part of the plan.  There was a why for each of them.

Today,  I’m going to share some of life's seasons I've gone through, and how they’ve shaped me and prepared me for the seasons that come after.

Scriptures today will include verses from Ecclesiastes 3, Matthew 4, Matthew 6, Isaiah 54, James 1, and Colossians 3.

Did you ever think about how the story of Easter can be a story for you?   When we’re told to rise up and challenged to hope, do we instantly turn to the negative - think we’re a failure… do we think only about the times we’ve fallen down?  Do we think we’re not good enough?  Or do we take it as an opportunity to grow, to learn, to become better… to rise up?

In this week's episode, I'll share a few Scriptures related to resurrection, how you can have a personal resurrection in your life, and how you can “rise up” to what and who God has called you to be.

Why are we so drawn in by the thing's our society identifies as "The Next Big Thing"?  What if we stopped looking at the things the world defines as needed and popular and started focusing on the next big thing God has in store for us?  In this episode, I'll break down some of my own experience with the concept of "The Next Big Thing", in a worldly sense and in the spiritual - in the ordinary, and in the extraordinary.

No handout or bullet points this week - just speaking from my heart and experiences.

This week’s topic is something that I’m sure almost all of us, if not everyone, is very familiar with.  And that is the topic of Social Media.  This week's episode is not a social media bash fest, and also doesn't encourage you to suddenly spend all of your time on social media.    I share with you a few practical strategies related to social media… both in how and how much we use it, and in our interaction with the people we are friends with and the pages and channels we follow, based on what I’ve experienced - things I’ve found myself doing, ways I’ve shifted my thinking and actions, and how I’ve begun to use social media in a good way.

This week’s topic is something that I’ve had a lot of first-hand experience with during recent years - and that is the topic of giants in our lives.  It’s easy to talk about giants as long as they’re lumbering over someone else’s landscape; but when you discover one is at your doorstep, or even come inside your head, you realize how intimidating a giant can be.   In today's episode, we'll talk about the story of David and Goliath, and I'll share with you  three ways that you can identify and attack your giants.
