Do you find Lent to be a drudge to get through? Or, do you see it as an opportunity?

Lent provides us with the time and space to look at ourselves through God's eyes so that we can see what we truly need to work on. If we open ourselves to the Holy Spirit, asking him to show us our hearts as the Heavenly Father sees them, we will become transformed in Christ.

This episode touches on three main reasons people hesitate to dig deep - fear, self-doubt, and poor self-image - and how to conquer them.

Are you having trouble finding peace as Christmas approaches?

We hear about peace all over the place these days - Christmas cards, billboards, movies, music, and even in the news. But do you have peace in your heart? Are you ready for the coming of the Christ Child?

Here are three steps to finding REAL peace this Christmas:

1. Tune out the chaos, noise, busy-ness, disappointments, distractions, and pressure.

2. Focus on what's most important and nothing else. Most of what you think you have to get done before Christmas can be handled after.

3. Remember that no matter what happens, Jesus was born in Bethlehem on the Holy Night. He came to bring us peace, joy, and salvation. Nothing can change that!
