#048 - From the Archives | Forgiveness is Freedom Jul 06, 2021

Show notes

Forgiveness is a popular topic because we all face imperfection and regret. Our instinct is to choose bitterness, but our souls grow through forgiveness. Jesus paid our debt, so we don't need to carry shame for ourselves or others. Our pain can change us for the better when we surrender to His grace. When we lean into God's love and forgiveness, we are eternally free.

#047 - What is your mission? (with Jihae Watson) Jun 29, 2021

Show notes

How can we serve people who cannot give in return? We need to let go of control to allow space for God to guide us. We don't have to say "yes" to everything that comes our way, but we should take leaps of faith in the missions that call us. No matter who you are, you can follow Jesus and choose to walk with people. Jihae Watson shares her journey as a foster parent and what it taught her about loving people.

When we look to Him, we learn how to love people and care for our families.

#044 - Making Time for What Matters Most Jun 08, 2021

Show notes

What does success look like to you? We often base our worth on the achievements and materials we've collected. The Bible praises hard work but also shows us that Jesus chose simplicity. At the end of the day, we miss what's most important if we burn out. We live our best lives when we build relationships and take time to prepare for the future.

#043 - What Does Rest Have to do With Following Jesus? Jun 01, 2021

Show notes

Love requires energy. To love like Jesus, we have to rest like Jesus. We are more productive when we take the time to embrace new things and listen to God. To find what fuels you, forget about impressing people. You enjoy your calling because you were created to do it. God is the only "why" you need.

#042 - How to Find Satisfaction with Your Life May 25, 2021

Show notes

How free would you be if you learned to love what Jesus loves? He loves you, and He wants you to enjoy your life. When we try to prove ourselves to the world, we breed insecurity and exhaustion. When we give, we reflect love and strength. True confidence comes from our identity in God. We grow through our pain when we realize Jesus is all we need.

#041 - What Are You Filling Your Life With? May 18, 2021

Show notes

God created us to have rhythm. There are seasons of struggle and seasons of calm. In both, work is part of our purpose, and so is rest. We are here to build relationships and enjoy God’s gifts. Even in a broken world, we can choose to find joy. To embrace the love of Jesus, we need to stop and receive His blessings.

#040 - How to Love with Grace and Truth May 11, 2021

Show notes

To share God’s truth, we need to lead first with grace. Jesus shows us the perfect balance when His love outweighs our sin. We can't always be “nice,” but we should always be kind. How do we manage the tension when we interact with the world? The answer lies in trust, prayer, and wisdom. The first step is to listen. It’s okay to drop the mic and leave some things unresolved.

#039 - How to Change the World May 04, 2021

Show notes

Have you ever heard a speech that changed your life? In the “Sermon on the Mount,” Jesus tells us how to live so that we reflect one radical idea: God's kingdom is different from the world. We represent Jesus when we follow in his footsteps, but the path is unique for every person. It’s not all about what you do; it’s about who you are. To be a disciple, ask yourself, "what would Jesus do if he were you?"

#038 - Stop Keeping Score. Start Loving. Apr 27, 2021

Show notes

How do you win someone over? We constantly work to prove we are right but ignore the true answer: We all need grace. We all want someone to listen. We are exhausted by "religion" because we cannot earn our way to God and the “good news” of Jesus is not that we are good. But that God is good. It’s time to erase the scoreboard and choose to love.
