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.
In Part 3 of Sit, Walk, Stand: A Study in Ephesians, David Thaxton explores what it means to stand firm when life feels like a battle. Where does our strength come from, and how do we face the struggles we can't always see?
In Part 2 of Sit, Walk, Stand: A Study in Ephesians, Billy Phenix explores what it really means to "walk" with Jesus. If our identity in Christ changes who we are, how should it change the way we live? In Ephesians 5, Paul invites us to move beyond belief and into a faith that's visible in our everyday lives.
In Part 1 of Sit, Walk, Stand: A Study in Ephesians, Billy Phenix encourages us to ask ourselves this question: “Who do you think you are?” It’s a question that goes deeper than labels, roles, or achievements. Many of us might answer it with what we do, what we have, or what others say about us, but Jesus invites us to something more secure. Because what we believe, shapes everything. In Ephesians, Paul reminds us that before we do anything for God, we must first “sit” in who God says we are: chosen, adopted, forgiven, redeemed, and called his masterpiece. We don’t earn this identity; we recei
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.
The fires of life expose what we’re made of. When the pressure rises, will we protect our comfort and reputation or remain faithful when it costs us?
Discover five powerful catalysts God uses to grow our faith through a conversation featuring real stories and practical next steps for spiritual growth.
Most of us spend life focused on what to do and how to do it. But deep down, we still wonder why we’re here. This message explores what it means to live on purpose and how small acts of good might awaken the purpose you’ve been looking for.
We never know how one small invitation might change someone’s story… until we offer it.
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.
The story of Jesus didn’t begin with confident believers. It began with disillusioned followers who walked away, only to be pulled back by something they couldn’t ignore.
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.
