What if the only thing that is keeping you stuck is how easy it is to fall back on plan B? What if Burning The Boats is the only way to set yourself free or put yourself into motion? Having no alternative is the best option because victory is a non-negotiable. It's all-in, Do or Die, Boom or Bust. The best way to real growth is by Burning The Boats. (1Kings 19:19-21)

At times in our life we can get comfortable in the safe zone. We keep risks low and remain unchallenged. Truth is, the growth happens in the deep-end and we don't have to do it alone. When Jesus steps into the boat we are challenged to go into the deep-end and into uncharted waters. He invites us to walk with him as we go "Against All Odds."

At times in our life we identify with things that we would like to redo. We allow our identity to be wrapped around our past mistakes, failures or times we missed the mark. Jesus wipes the slate clean and identifies us as righteous by His sacrifice on the cross, by His Grace and Mercy. We are who God says we are.

It's easy to be thankful for all the good things that happen and go our way in life. It's easy to be thankful when things are going great. It is another level of spiritual maturity when we can thank God when He says "No, not yet", or for the unanswered prayer. Can we thank God for ALL things?

Love is often misunderstood creating misconceptions due to our negative experiences. We must face the difficult questions such as, can I be loved? How do I prove I'm worthy? How do I receive love and how do I love others? We find the answers as we Enter His Gates and find the missing link.

Happiness has always been a constant pursuit and highly sought out for. Unfortunately the target is always moving. When Jesus is the source we can experience happiness and the inexpressible joy of the Lord. Ending the pursuit of happiness is the beginning of the relationship with the Lord.

Should good things only happen to good people and bad things happen to bad people? In "Bend But Don't Break" we look at how Jesus responds to the belief that bad things happen to only those who miss the mark and how misleading it is along with the implications.
We learn from Jesus' interaction with the woman suffering from the spirit of infirmity mentioned in Luke 13:10-17.

As Christians we are not called to settle for mediocrity but to excel and go above and beyond. Jesus gave us the example of how and why we should go the extra mile. The goal is to live our life seeking and reflecting an excellent spirit and God's favor over us. (1 Thessalonians 4:1)

In Pt.4 of "On My Way, (Isaiah 55:8-11) we breakdown the steps towards internal healing. There is no way around or over, just through it. As we walk through Jesus walks with us.
"When Healing Happens" is more about how. Healing happens as we face the vulnerable areas with humility, obedience and submission.

In John 5:1-15, we learn from a man that was ill for 38 yrs until Jesus notices him and his condition. Before he heals him he asked him, "Do you want to be made well?" Jesus not only healed his external infirmity but also his soul internally.
We get accustomed to things being just the way they are that we don't see a better way. Jesus wants to heal us completely making us whole. Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life and provides ...
In Pt.2 of the series On My Way, we see how Saul's plans were divinely interrupted by the Lord and how God met him in the middle of the road headed to Damascus. Saul later learned that God's plans were greater.
When God is at work in our life it looks messy in the middle. As we stay faithful we see that God is willing to meet us where we are and give us the strength to make it in the middle.

As we make our way towards an answered prayer there are things that God addresses on the way. God wants to bless us and wants us to sustain the blessing. Our faith is affirmed, heart is healed and joy is recovered on the way. See how God goes above and beyond in our life as we continue our journey with him. You may not be there yet, but you're well on your way.

In closing to the series "Navigating Overseas", we hope to see in ourselves and in others what Jesus sees in all of us. Shame and condemnation narrows our perspective as we overlook God's will for us. The scenario doesn't have to change when we see what Jesus sees.

In Pt.3 of Navigating Overseas we are encouraged to take another look at our situations from a different perspective. One of the many things we over see is another vantage point.
When God is working it doesn't always look clear in the beginning but what God begins he also completes perfectly and on time. Take another look, God has the final word.

In Pt.2 of Navigating Overseas we take a deeper look into the areas of our life that we tend to oversee. It is often the commonly overlooked areas that require the most attention. Above all we tend to overlook the overflow that comes through The Way, The Truth and The Life who is Jesus Christ. Are you Overlooking The Overflow?
Scriptures: Zechariah 12:10, Mark 15:37-39, John 19:34-35, Revelation 1:7

Part 1 of "Navigating Overseas" we take a look at 2Corinthians 3:12-18 and things we tend to overlook in our life. Things we overlook can have both positive and negative repercussions. What happens when we begin to overlook the effects of sin and overlook God's redemptive power. There is "Hope for Veiled Hearts"

Hebrews 12:25-27, Dry places are prone to catching fire and being devastated. Our life may be in a dry and devastated season, but Jesus came to seek and to save the lost. Jesus provides life to all dry places by offering living water.

In My Father’s House Pt.3, John 2:13-22. God has always desired to dwell among us. Since sin caused a separation, God has attempted to bridge the gap. We were designed originally to dwell in God’s presence, destined to dwell with God and through Jesus we are invited to dwell in personal relationship. He continues to seek us and has prepared an eternal dwelling place in our Father’s House.
