Being a parent is both rewarding and challenging in every season of life. Join us today as we talk about some of the key lessons we've learned while raising our three sons.

Speaking the truth in love is one of the most misunderstood, and often mishandled, responsibilities that we have in life. Today, we talk about how we can love one another well and develop the courage to have difficult conversations in a world that would rather we stay silent. 

Today, we're continuing our conversation through Philippians chapter 4 where Paul gives us reading glasses for our soul, so that we can see a new perspective, trust God more, and do the work to experience a more vibrant and sustainable life every day.

How can we see more clearly and begin to experience a more vibrant and sustainable life? If you need reading glasses, you know what a difference they make. Today, we're going to begin a conversation on finding reading glasses for our soul.

What happens when we disengage? As I ask that question it reminds me of the scene in the original Top Gun movie when Maverick was struggling to decide whether or not he was going to engage in the battle or turn his back and ignore everything. This is the same choice we have to make every day. In part two of our conversation, we talk about why we must stay engaged in the battle for a wholly authentic life. 

The struggle is real. No, really, the struggle is real. There is a reason that life is hard. There is a reason that conflict is easy. Our conversation today is all about waking up to the reality that if we want real change--wholly authentic, vibrant and sustainable, then we must fully engage in the battle for our hearts and minds.

We create memorials and observe days like this one to remember the significance of people and past events that have shaped the world in which we live. This practice in our daily lives can serve as an indispensable tether to God's goodness and grace in the midst of the ups and downs of life.

Being caught off guard is the worst as it can send us spiraling downward mentally and emotionally. Join us today as we talk about how we can be wisely aware of moments when we should expect the unexpected and be better prepared to withstand all that comes our way. 

Do you remember the old commercial that asked how many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop? The owl licked three times and then just bit into it. Life can sometimes come at us that way. Everything is going along smoothly and then, CRUNCH! In those moments, no matter how many layers of candy-coating we have, what is on the inside will be revealed. Join us this week as we talk about getting to the real, heart of the matter.

Is fear keeping you from really living? Join us today as we talk about how to manage fear; letting it work for us when it can and confronting it when it stands in the way of the vibrant life we were created to live.
