The fear of what might happen can keep us managing, hiding, and pretending long after we know something needs to change.
Blame has a way of protecting us from an uncomfortable truth: the other person may not be the only one with something to own.
Sometimes what we call “complicated” is really fear in disguise. And until we name it honestly, we'll never find the courage to move forward.
Your greatest victory may not be in getting the outcome you want, but discovering a different kind of win.
Everyone wants people who will show up when life begins to unravel. Far fewer of us are willing to be the kind of friend who steps in before it does.
We all find confidence in something—our status, our job, our finances. While these things aren’t necessarily bad, none of them are necessarily secure. What if there is something better and long-lasting? In his letter to the Philippians, Paul writes about a confidence that is better and more secure than anything the world has to offer.
The world teaches us to measure our lives by what we accomplish, achieve, and build for ourselves. Romans 12 reminds us that God is far more interested in transforming who we are becoming from the inside out.
Scripture: Matthew 6:25-34 We spend so much of life trying to figure out what's next. But Jesus offers something better than certainty about the future he offers peace in the present. Discover how this powerful passage can become an anchor for your faith by teaching you to trust God with tomorrow while faithfully following him today.
The founders believed liberty was worth risking everything for, but they also understood it came with a hidden requirement. Two hundred fifty years later, that requirement matters more than ever.
Many Christians spend their lives measuring themselves by whether or not they are obeying all the rules. That’s not what Jesus intended.
Somewhere along the way, many of us began treating God's love and approval as something to earn. That assumption quietly shapes our relationship with God more than we realize.
We often think freedom comes from having fewer obligations, but some of the most meaningful moments in life begin when we embrace a weight we never asked to carry.
Long before the storm arrived, Noah made a decision about whose wisdom he would trust.
Chaos rarely arrives all at once. It often begins with ordinary choices that seem reasonable until the consequences finally surface.
We never know how one small invitation might change someone’s story… until we offer it.
One of Jesus’s parting messages to his disciples was to abide in him—to stay continuously connected to him. But how do we do that with all that is going on in our daily life? There is a way. And the answer may surprise you.
One of the greatest improvements in modern medicine is the ability to measure our health through a blood sample. Common bloodwork measures a number of things that can alert us to a possible ailment that needs attention. In the first century, the apostle Paul gave us a list we can use to monitor our spiritual health and alert us when something may need more attention.
We often focus on what’s above the surface in our lives: family, finances, successes or failures in our careers, etc. It’s easy to do because that’s what we can see. But there’s a lot going on under the surface as well. In this message we draw our attention to the impact of what’s below the surface.
Healthy relationships aren’t built on rules, but they can’t survive without a particular one. And it’s a rule that removes every loophole.
The secret to stronger relationships isn’t being understood, but choosing to put someone else first, even when they don’t deserve it.
Every conflict feels like it’s about what someone else did, but the real source runs deeper and it’s hard to admit.
One of the interesting things about the Easter account is that so many of the people in the story missed what was right in front of them. They couldn’t see it. But once the reality of the resurrection became clear to them, they couldn’t see anything else.
The gap between skepticism and faith starts to close when Christianity is viewed through the lens of history. In this conversation with Andy Stanley and John Dickson, the story of Jesus is presented as something meant to be investigated, not avoided.
Jesus regularly challenged people’s assumptions about both wealth and eternity, and when he did so it revealed that the way we handle what’s temporary points to what we truly believe is permanent.
Many people experience faith primarily as something they attend or consume. But the moments that deepen faith most often come when we begin giving it away.
