July 13 430: God's Idea for Families
Hello, friend. I hope you’re have a good day. We’re in the throes of summer vacation, which for many of us means more time with our families. Kids at home during the day with no school, summer trips, family reunions. These things bring fun and lasting memories, but they can also bring added stress. The apostle Paul has a word for families in his letter to the Colossians. I pray it encourages you if you find yourself feeling a little tense amidst some extra togetherness.

July 06 429: Facing Your Worst Fears
Hello, my friend. I hope you’re doing well today. As we conclude this series of episodes about living life with less fear, I think it’s important to note a time Jesus felt afraid. That might sound wrong to you, but he did. And there is good news, friend – the same resource Jesus relied on to deal with his fear is available to you too.

June 29 428: Do I Even Matter?
Hi, friend. I hope you’re having a good day. “Do I even matter?” That’s something most, probably all, of us have wondered. Maybe you don’t ask the question out loud, but the choices you make or the things you pursue indicate a striving for significance. Friend, don’t look at what the world says is important for the answer. Look for the answer in Scripture: “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works” (Ephesians 2:10).

June 22 427: Change the Way You Look at Death
Hello, my friend. Thanks for joining me today. This week’s episode touches on a heavy topic, but it’s one I think about more often as I get older: death. What comes next. Life after this life. I know it can feel uncomfortable, even scary. But I also know the promise of Jesus. “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die.” (John 11:25-26).

June 15 426: The Power of a Praying Parent
Hello, friend. I hope you’re doing well today. Father’s Day is coming up, making this week’s episode especially timely. We’re looking at a couple of stories in the Bible when scared, desperate fathers felt out of options. And what God said to them, he says to you: Trust your children to me.

June 08 425: When You Worry About What Comes Next
Hello, my friend. You’ve probably heard the phrase, “The only constant in life is change.” Chances are, you’re facing some changes right now. If you’re struggling with the unknown or worried about what’s ahead of you, may the promise of Psalm 23 remind you that whatever you face, you are never, ever alone. “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.” (Psalm 23:6)

June 01 424: The Source of All Fear
Hello, my friend. Thanks for joining me today. You’re likely familiar with the story of the first sin. The moment in the Garden of Eden when Eve defied God’s instruction to not eat the fruit from one specific tree. But have you ever considered what was at war in Eve’s mind and heart? Maybe she wasn’t simply prideful, or disobedient, but perhaps she was first afraid?

Today we’re going to Matthew chapters 24 and 25, to the final week of Jesus’ life. He knows what awaits him, but his admonition to his disciples remains the same: Don’t be afraid.

May 11 421: From Despair To Hope
Hello, my friend. Thanks for joining me on the podcast today. There are few guarantees in life, but there is at least one thing that’s true for us all – life comes with storms. And where you turn your eyes when trouble comes makes all the difference.
