  • Episode 37 Never Let them See you Sweat
    2025/07/14

    There is this thought that people should never see us in our weaknesses. That people should never see us sweat even when we are doing the heavy lifting of life. There is a lot of wisdom in that. We all admire those who are able to handle problems and stressful situations with dignity, confidence and skill. This is something that we all should aspire too. However, sometimes it is a good thing for people see you dealing with the realities of life and the cost and work that comes with it. There is a balance that we can show in strength and vulnerability.

  • Episode 35 God Bless America
    2025/06/30

    This year our Nation celebrates its 249th Birthday. I love our country. This is, in my opinion, the greatest nation in the History of the world. I am proud to be an American. Our nation has been blessed because we founded our country on the principles found in the Word of God. Someone said - "If America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great!"Most republics, and America is a constitutional Republic, never make it to the 250 year mark. The reasons are exactly the many challenges that we are facing in our own country today. I believe that there is hope for America! The hope is not in our economics. It is not found in our military strength. Our hope is in Jesus Christ. God has blessed America! My prayer is that God would continue to bless America as we return to Him and His ways!

  • Episode 34 Stressed out or Stretched out
    2025/06/23

    Studies tell us that a great majority of us are living stressed out. Stress is pressure. It can be self-imposed or inflicted on us by others. Stress is worry, fear, feeling overwhelmed or mental tension. God desires to stretch us to make us stronger and form our character. Stress is built to deform us not to shape us into something good. There is a quote that I found the other day that is really good. - God is not in a hurry, you are. That is why you are stressed, anxious, burnt out and frustrated. Trust God's plan, work in your life and timing. Know this - if you are being stretched by God right now, He is doing a powerful work in you. Don't fight him, resist Him or doubt Him. He is faithful. You are going to come out of this better than you can imagine.

  • Episode 33 Scratching the Itch of Negativity
    2025/06/16

    Life is hard. All of us deal with difficulties and trials. All around us negative things are happening. If we are not careful the negative can get inside of us. Negativity has been ingrained into our society. Complaining, gossiping in all of its many forms, can become the normal in our lives if we allow it. Negativity is an itch that wants to be scratched. The insidious thing is that the more you scratch that itch the more it wants attention. Pretty soon all we see and talk about are the negatives when in reality God is moving, and His goodness is abounding in our lives. Let's resist the urge to scratch the negatives and instead let's talk about the good things that are actually happening in abundance in our lives.

  • Episode 32 Going through the Motions
    2025/06/09

    Many people are going through life and serving Jesus just going through the motions. Life is much more than that. We were never called to fake it until you make it. We are to live life and serve God, authentically and naturally. Life is not a performance. Ministry is not a performance. There are days when the best we can do is to simply put one foot in front of the other. That is honesty. The longer I serve the Lord in ministry. The more I question what we are doing and why. I am not deconstructing. I think all of us need to take an honest look at ourselves, our ministries and our lives and answer two questions. 1) Does this honor God. 2) What message are we sending to each other and to the unsaved about what matters in the kingdom? I hope this podcast will encourage you, challenge you and make all of us think.

  • Episode 31 Humility and Favor
    2025/06/02

    There is a direct correlation between choosing a life of humility and walking in the favor of the Lord. We live in a culture of self-promotion, clicks, likes views. We are conditioned to live for ourselves and not for others. Jesus told His disciples that the one who is the greatest is the one who becomes as the lest, that to be great in God's Kingdom we are to be the servant of ALL. In this weeks podcast we will look at what it is to walk in the favor of God.
