Rich Wilkerson, Jr. interviews producer and friend Ryan Good about the intersection of faith, culture and creativity.

Everyone operates on some level of faith. Everyone has a thought pattern of what tomorrow has to hold. Some believe the best while some believe the worst. Pastor Rich challenges us to consider that whichever way you are thinking— you are right! The thoughts you are thinking today will create the life in front of you. Your thoughts become actions, and your actions become your lifestyle. If we're not careful we can start to convince ourselves that life is hopeless. However, if we set our mind on God’s promises for our life, we begin to declare with our words and with our actions that God’s best is in store for us!

Pastor Rich Wilkerson, Jr. interviews great friend and Pastor, Chad Veach, from ZOE Church in Los Angeles, CA about the struggles he has faced with his daughter Georgia's health, and how he has resolved to believe God through it all.

If we are honest, many of us can say that as time has gone by we have lost a lot of the passion we once had for God and have failed to keep him first in our lives. Pastor Rich challenges us in this New Year to understand that the change in our lives will come when we change, look at what God has put in our hands, and make a commitment to pursue him so he can use us.

Whether it's waiting for dinner to be cooked, or for you to clock out of work—or more somber things, like test results from a doctor; we all do a lot of waiting in our lifetime. Pastor DawnChere reminds us that it's less about what you're waiting for and more about who you're waiting on.  Waiting is walking. Waiting is trusting God and allowing him to do what only he can do. As you wait on the lord you are actually moving forward in the purpose he has for your life.

In today's message Pastor Rich teaches that once we have received the comfort of God we are asked to carry his comfort to others, which often may result in our own discomfort. But as we fill ourselves up we remember it is not for us to stay filled but for the purpose of pouring ourselves out to others in service to God.

When it comes to the soundtrack of your life, whose voice are you listening to? Pastor DawnCheré reminds us that often times we need to tune out the conflicting voices of others, and even ourselves, so that we can clearly hear the voice of God.

Jason Kennedy returns to the VOUS Church Podcast to interview Pastor Rich Wilkerson, Jr about Rich In Faith.

If you are in a place of discomfort, you can take heart knowing you have a God who knows your pain and wants to comfort you. We find beauty in the fact that God gives us double comfort: not only the temporary, physical comfort of this world, but also the eternal, spiritual comfort of the world to come.
