"The dove had a purpose in it all though. His release, never to return, was the key that Noah needed to know that they could safely disembark and start the next chapter of their lives. Not only that, but to start the next chapter of God’s plan for the entire world." Listen to today's episode by clicking the link below.

"And how do we have an assurance of these things? How do we trust in this promise? We grow in our knowledge of Him. We answer the call of the Holy Spirit and take one step in obedience which He then multiplies ten-fold, if not more." Today's episode is live now. Click below to access.

"We also see that even the things that were so hard and awful ended up being the very things that made us more compassionate, generous, flexible, and honest. Like an olive in an olive press, it’s the pressing and destruction of the olive in its original shape that provides the gift of olive oil. Isn’t it interesting that olive oil is one of the healthiest oils for your heart? You can buy synthetic olive oil, but they’re a cheap and damaging substitute for the real thing."

"This is sweet. It requires making a choice. Do you or don’t you believe. But life gets so complicated, doesn’t it? We find ourselves in really hard situations where we’re called to endure suffering for what can feel like and sometimes is a really long time. We all agree that what we need in those situations is more faith to persevere. But how?" Listen to today's episode by clicking the link below.

"Hope. Even just saying the word begins to fracture through the darkness to let a little light in. “An anchor for the soul” I imagine the biggest of ships setting that anchor down to the depth of the ocean floor and that ship will not be moved. “Firm and secure.” Now that is a good word!" Today's episode is available through the link below. 

"Except sometimes I lie to myself while grocery shopping. “These are for the kids.” I’ll tell myself and really convince myself that I won’t have a battle every time I get the craving for something junky and sweet. As it turns out, double stuffed Oreos will actually call out my name. Needy and mouthy little cookies, they are! It’s not that junk food is bad. It’s just my relationship with junk food is problematic. I seem to lack the thing that allows one to be satisfied with just a taste or bite." Click below to listen!

"As a parent, to hear all the whining and complaining sure does make me feel like everything I’ve ever done to get us to this vacation must be for naught because my kids are bent on only seeing their discomfort and displeasure for being in a place, temporarily, that they don’t want to be. We really have no idea how deeply God loves us. Nor do we consider the temporary suffering meant to prepare us for the place He is taking us." Click below to access today's episode.

"I was walking backwards. Completely out of control with my body. It was as if an invisible force clung to my feet and with each step this force pulled my feet backwards. I don’t understand it and every time something like this happens, I am flooded with uncertainty and anxiety for the future. How much longer will I have my independence? How much longer until my mind isn’t working? Is my speech next? How much longer?" Click below to listen!

"It’s a sobering moment when we realize that what we held so true we were willing to shout it into the face of another person or type an angry response to someone with an opposite opinion that we may actually be wrong. We may actually be wrong. You may actually be wrong. It’s hard to scream and yell when you come to terms with this. Every argument can then turn into an actual conversation instead of an angry yelling match set out to prove you’re right and everyone else is wrong." I hope you'll join me for today's episode!

"I think one of the most damaging things the enemy can speak to a Believer is “who do you think you are?” Those words hit me as a silent missile when I’m talking to someone and recounting the beautiful things I’ve seen God do in my life as an encouragement to them. I can feel my joy and confidence dismantling as the enemy’s accusation unfolds." Click below to listen to today's episode.
