Ryland Walter // We would all probably agree that honesty is the best policy, but it’s easy to find an excuse not to tell the whole truth. Other times, it can be tempting to intentionally deceive people. But honesty is essential for success in many areas of our lives.

Ryland Walter // When everybody else is living for themselves, why should we live any differently? Practicing fairness is foundational to building values in our lives that last. This week we will find out how God views injustice and unfairness in our world and how we should respond.

Ryland Walter // We want pure air to breathe and pure water to drink, but some of us may be less aware of our mental or moral purity. Is it even possible to maintain purity in a world where we’re continually bombarded by media trying to rob us of our purity? The answer is yes!

Kelly Walter // No one gets through this life without being hurt—that’s a guarantee. We live in a broken world, and none of us is perfect. That’s why the value of forgiveness is so important to build our lives upon. Without forgiveness, we’ll have a difficult time with conflict and unsettled issues in our relationships. This week we’ll look at why in the world we should ever forgive someone and how to be confident God has forgiven us.

Tom Stoltz // This week we're looking at another endangered character quality. It's the quality of respect. We live in a very rude world, but good relationships depend on respect. The Bible makes it very clear that respect is a value that a stable family and a stable life is built upon.

Ryland Walter // Are you managing your schedule or is your schedule managing you? This week we're going to look at a quality that is universally admired and universally ignored, the quality of balance.⁣

Kelly Walter // Anything that’s uncontrolled will eventually destroy you. Even good things that God created can destroy you if you let them go unchecked. Join us this weekend to hear how to give God control over the things that have slowly gotten out of control.⁣

Ryland Walter // When God created you, he wired you with the capacity and desire to trust in something greater than yourself because he wanted you to have a relationship with him. The values you build your life on directly depend on who you put your trust in. Why trust in something else when you can trust a dependable God?

Ryland Walter // You don't get to choose a lot of the circumstances and events that happen to you. But you do have the ability to choose how you react to life. Because you have the freedom to respond and you are able to respond you are response-able. You are responsible. Accepting responsibility is the foundation to building your life on values that last.

Ryland Walter // Week 3 // What you’ve chosen to value determines who you are. Your values are your core beliefs that shape everything you do. Your values will determine your stress level, your success, and many other things. If you want to build lasting success and significance in your life, you must choose what is going to be your standard.
