How do we hold on to hope when the waiting is long or when what we hoped for didn't happen?

In life, we face many experiences of deferred and disappointed hope. These are crucial moments in our faith journey because they test our ability to persevere in faith even when we are weary and we don't understand. Join Jim and Amy as they talk about the difference between faith and hope and how to cultivate resilient hope even in the hardest seasons.

Pastor Kevin Eshleman shares on the importance of holding fast to hope, even when the waiting is long.

We all know we should be thankful, but how do we cultivate a practice of thankfulness that actually changes our lives?

We have a choice between thankfulness and discontentment. God clearly commands us to be people who practice thankfulness, no matter what we are facing. This takes intentionality. Otherwise, our worldview will be shaped by the negativity and complaining of the culture around us. How do we do that? Join Dan and Jim as they explore practical ways we can grow gratitude in our hearts and live with genuine thankfulness every day. 

Pastor Kevin Eshleman reminds us of the importance of living with thanksgiving in the midst of a critical and discontented culture.

How do you cultivate fellowship with the Holy Spirit in your life?

In 2 Corinthians 13:14, Paul blessed his readers to experience the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, but what does that really mean? For many of us, the idea of building a relationship with the Holy Spirit may seem strange, but it's actually God's invitation to us to experience intimacy with him. Join Matt and David as they talk about practical ways we can cultivate a real and growing relationship with the Holy Spirit.

Valter Xhelili speaks on the importance of the Holy Spirit in our lives, reminding us of our need to fellowship with him.

What happens after you receive an impartation from the Lord?

When we receive an impartation, God moves in our hearts in mighty ways. But when we leave that encounter, how do we steward what we've received so that we don't return to "life as usual" but begin taking steps of obedience toward God's call for our lives? Join Matt Swords and Chris Weber as they talk about how we can be diligent to cultivate what God's doing in our midst.

Mike Van't Hul speaks on radical obedience and power of surrendering our whole lives to the Lord.

Dr. Randy Clark speaks on the need to receive an impartation of the Holy Spirit.

Are you hungry for an impartation of the Holy Spirit?God wants to touch each one of us with an impartation of his Spirit. The question is, are we ready, and are we hungry? Join Jim Ehrman and Matt Swords as they talk about how we prepare our hearts and cultivate hunger for what God wants to do in us and through us.
