Modesty
"Modesty." When we hear that word our minds instantly go to what clothes we wear. "Is this appropriate? How short is too short? How tight is too tight?" However, the biblical model of modesty is so much more than just what we wear...or don't wear. In this episode, we discuss what it means to be modest in a society that says to show off what you have. It is our prayer that this will be a helpful resource for you as you seek to glorify God in all you do.
Conflict
It is impossible to go through life without conflict. We've all had a conflict with someone and we've all been the one who caused the conflict as well. Since we can't avoid it, why not learn how to handle conflict biblically? In this episode, we address conflict and how we as believers should handle conflict. It is our prayer that this will be a helpful tool for you as you address whatever conflicts may come your way.
"Cast all your anxieties on Him."
Worry is something we all struggle with. Anxiety is something that is often misunderstood and mishandled. In this week's episode we discuss what exactly anxiety is and how we as believers can help those who struggle with it. It is our prayer that this will be a resource for you as you face the difficulties of anxiety.
Relationships
Life is meant to be lived in relationships, but how do we have biblical relationships? Are there different types of relationships? What does the bible say about relationships? In this week's episode, we discuss how to foster healthy, biblical relationships in our lives. It is our hope and prayer that this would be resource for you as you seek to honor God in all of your relationships.
Stuck in Sin
Do you ever feel stuck? Like Paul, you know what you should do but for some reason you can't do it. We all struggle with feeling stuck. In this week's episode, we discuss why and how someone feels stuck in sin and how we can overcome that feeling. It is our prayer that this will be a resource for you as you battle against your struggles each and every day
What You Take In WILL Come Out
We all want more. Our society teaches us to seek more, to get more, to buy the newest thing. But is that what the Bible teaches? We were made to consume but what exactly should we be consuming? In this week's episode, we discuss the importance of watching what we consume in our day to day lives. It is our prayer that this will be a resource for you as you seek to make God known throughout your week.
Friendship
What does it mean to be a true friend? The world often has a misconstrued view of what true friendship is but what does the Bible say about it? Is friendship really about just cheering one another on or is there more to it? In this weeks' episode, we dive into what biblical friendship looks like and how we can become a true, biblical friend. It is our hope and prayer that this will be a tool as you seek to become the friend that God has created you to be!
Authentic Living
What does it mean to live authentically? Is it simply following your desires and "being true to yourself," or is there more to it? We all have masks that we wear; it's something that we all struggle with but does that make it ok? In this episode, we dive into what it looks like to live authentically. It is our hope and prayer that this episode will help you and encourage you as you walk authentically in Christ this week.
Worship
How often do you worship? What is worship? How do you worship? These are all questions that we discuss in this week's episode. As we enter into DNOW weekend, we look at the way we worship and how it's more than just something we do on Sundays and Wednesdays. It is our hope and prayer that this episode deepens your understanding of worship and how you can worship in everything you do each day.
"Go therefore and make disciples."
What if I told you that you had the greatest news someone would ever hear? Would you do everything in your power to make sure they knew it? This week we talk about THE Good News that we as believers have and what we are supposed to do with it. It is our prayer that this episode will be a resource for you as you strive to live a life on mission.
Pride and Humility
In this week's episode, we discuss our greatest enemy--Pride. It's something we ALL struggle with but luckily there is a solution. It is our hope and prayer that this episode will help you and equip you as you battle the problem of pride.
Giant Slaying
We all have giants in our lives. We all struggle with certain things. In this week's episode, we look at the story of David and Goliath and how a proper understanding of that passage will help us as we face our own giants. It is our prayer that this will be a helpful resource for you as your battle the giants of your life.
Comparison
"You'll never be good enough." "You'll never measure up." "You should just stop while you're ahead." Ever told yourself those things? It's safe to say that we all have. We have all struggled with comparison and some of us still do. In this episode, we discuss the negative affects of comparison to our own mental health. It is our hope and prayer that this will be a source of encouragement for you and a resource for anyone who struggles with comparison.
Daily Devotion
Ever struggle reading the Bible? Too busy to make it a daily habit? Am I ever too spiritually mature to not need the Bible? Don't even know where to start or how to read the Bible? This week we discuss the need for daily time in Scripture and what that looks like in our lives. It is our prayer that this will be a resource for you as well as a challenge as you seek to grow in your faith.
Peace
"Can 2021 be any worse than 2020?" That seems to be the question these days. I've heard people say that "it can only go up from here." Maybe you're even guilty of saying that. But my question is, what if it doesn't get better? What if this is the new normal? In this week's episode, I talk about "peace," and how we can have peace when everything around us seems to be in chaos. It is my prayer that this will be an encouragement and a challenge for you as we seek to have peace in our daily lives.
Self-Worth
Self-worth is at the core of our selves--our thoughts, our feelings, and our behaviors are all intimately tied into how we view our worthiness and value as human beings. The goal of self-worth is to see yourself as a "being," not a "doing." In this episode, I look at the psychology behind one's self worth and then turn to scripture to see what we're all truly worth--the answer may surprise you.
New Year, New You!
What are your New Year's Resolutions for 2021? Maybe your goal is to lose weight. Or maybe it's gain more muscle. Or maybe it's just be happier. Whatever it is, there are certain things that need to be considered when making your New Year's Resolutions. In this episode I discuss what a biblical New Year's Resolution should look like and practical things to consider when making your New Year's Resolution.
Who are you?
"Who are you?" That's a question that most people are familiar with but very few can actually answer. We are always seeking to define ourselves by something but how SHOULD we define ourselves? In this episode, I discuss the struggle that teenagers face when trying to discover who they are. I hope and pray that through this episode, you will be able to find your identity in who God, the creator of the universe, says you are.
Depression
Depression is a very serious illness that is often misunderstood and mishandled in churches today. In this episode, I discuss what exactly depression from a medical and psychological standpoint as well what the Bible has to say about it. It is my prayer that this will be a resource for you or someone you know who struggles with depression.
