tre devotional: Empowering Others
We sit down with the creator of the tre ministries devotional, Ian Rinken, to hear his inspiration behind the tre devotional series: Escape. Equip. Empower.
When others do well are you there to lift them up or tear them down? The American mindset is that we are all building our own kingdom. Jesus reminds us that we are not building our own kingdom, we are building God’s Kingdom. When we get out of the mindset of impressing each other and instead help each other find God’s calling for our lives we can empower our community so much more.

tre devotional: Empower Overview + Empowering Yourself
We sit down with the creator of the tre ministries devotional, Ian Rinken, to hear his inspiration behind the tre devotional series: Escape. Equip. Empower.
Being empowered means you are pouring into those around you while growing yourself. Empowerment comes through different channels. The ultimate source of encouragement is from the word. The more we run to the word and less to the world the more we realize that our identity isn't bound up in what other people say. How we are empowered to live out our calling isn't dependent on what compliment comes that day but on what passage we read that day.

tre devotional: God Equips the Commissioned
We sit down with the creator of the tre ministries devotional, Ian Rinken, to hear his inspiration behind the tre devotional series: Escape. Equip. Empower.
What does it mean to be commissioned? An instruction, command, or duty given to a person or group of people. As a church we are a group and God does not call us to serve on our own. Being commissioned starts with the two greatest commandments God gave us, love God and love people. We just have to be obedient in these commands and He will provide.

tre devotional: God Equips the Confident
We sit down with the creator of the tre ministries devotional, Ian Rinken, to hear his inspiration behind the tre devotional series: Escape. Equip. Empower.
In week two of the Equip series, we discuss how God equips the confident. Confidence, where are you looking for your confidence? In yourself? In your work? In your family? In reality, our confidence is rooted in who God called us to be not in what we are capable of. Validation from the opinions of others will always leave you dry but validation from the Lord will be fruit to the spirit.
Challenge yourself this week - do not be discouraged because you think you lack something but be filled with encouragement because Christ accompanies you in everything you do and He will guide your way.

tre Talk with Terry Liggins
tre Talk brings in community leaders from Sioux Falls and gives them a platform to share their story. We want to pass down the lessons learned from those around us to younger generations so that they will have stepping stones to navigate their own journey.
Terry's Faith in God and what's possible with an unwavering belief is evident in his testimony and apparent in his boldness as a leader. As The Chief Executive and Founder at The Hurdle Life Coach, he envisions a world where every person is seen, supported and empowered. Overcoming many obstacles and challenges in life is the genesis that spawned the creation of his company. Surviving a traumatic childhood experience in North Omaha, NE, thriving through his college experience at USD as a star athlete and leader, only to end up a federal prison inmate in 2015.
Terry's high's and lows have uniquely shaped the wisdom he carries with him today in all of his messaging and core message of that "Life is not Wins and Losses, but Wins and Lessons"
Knowing there is a God but not knowing God was Terry's story for the first 20 years of his life, the next 10 years he spent testing the boundaries of God's grace which he found has no bounds and while in prison surrendered and made the commitment to rebuild his life on the bedrock of honesty humility, and gratitude.
