Ever think, ‘Someone should do something about that…’? For many of us, we come across something that bothers us or maybe even breaks our hearts and we wish someone would do something about it. But, what if that “thing” is some thing that God is wanting us to notice so we can be ones to do something about it? There’s a story in the scriptures where the disciples faced a similar situation. And, Jesus’ response? It’s something we should all do some thing about…

What’s the one thing you need to Love Where You Live? Good schools? Fun places to eat? A fireplace? While there might be a few different options, the Gospel of Luke tells a story about how Jesus highlighted this one thing we need to not only love where we live but also to make a difference with our lives. As we launch this new series, don’t miss this most needed thing to actually Love Where You Live.

Ever assume if something comes to me, then it must be for me? Why is it that we make this assumption? And, is there something we should be aware of when making this assumption? There’s a story in the Gospel of Luke where Jesus pivots to tell this pointed parable about how many of us are tempted to fall into this familiar trap. But, Jesus also tells us how to overcome it with something better.

Life is full of “must have” things: Coffee in the morning, naps for small children, Chic-Fil-A on a weekly basis, etc. Money is also a “must have” thing in life but the question is, ‘Do we have money?’ or ‘Does money have us?’ In Matthew 6, Jesus gives us some helpful insight into those questions that can help us learn how to be Masters of Money rather than Mastered by Money.

Many of us wrestle with money stuff, especially when it comes to how it relates to our relationship with God and each other. But, in Matthew 25, Jesus makes it clear what he will ask all of us: ‘What did you do with what you had?’ Tune in to discover some fundamental pieces to the conversation and prepare to give God a great answer…

Ever wonder if you have an anger problem (asking for a friend…)? When Jesus showed up and invited people to live a new way of life, the first thing he addresses is…anger. Really? Why? Here’s Jesus’ point? You have an anger problem. We have an anger problem. Our culture has an anger problem. And, the only way to begin to live in God’s Kingdom is to deal with the anger in our hearts. Fortunately for us, Jesus shows us the way…

Many of us pursue things or people with the belief that it we can find the right thing or person then everything will be all right. However, a better approach is to focus on becoming the right person. How do we do that? This week, we unpack one of the most famous passages in the scriptures to discover how this one choice can help us become the kind of person we’ve wanted to be all along.

When it comes to “things I regret in life”, they often include the way we’ve responded, stuff we’ve said and done. But, what if there was a mechanism that could not only help us respond differently, but respond lovingly? And, what if this mechanism could create better marriages, families, workplaces, etc.? It’d be worth exploring, right? Tune in to this week’s podcast….

Success in life often requires you to ignore the immediate reward in favor of the imminent reward. In other words: Find a way to delay gratification. Instant gratification is the biggest challenge to overall success. But, how do you overcome it? In this week’s podcast, King David faced the temptation of instant gratification. And, his story has a lot of helpful stuff for us to overcome this common trap so that we can achieve better results.

Accomplishing big goals begins with automating small actions. This is different than our usual approach of trying to accomplish big goals with big actions. The reality is big actions don’t (always) equal big results. Rather, small routines can lead to accomplishing some Goliath-sized goals. This week, we discover how a shepherd boy defeated a giant warrior with God’s help, but also by deploying small, routine actions.
