What do we do when our best efforts fall flat, our plans unravel, and every door we try seems to close?
It’s easy to feel discouraged or confused. We may wonder if we missed God’s will or wasted precious time. But what if the closed doors are not rejection, but protection? Not the end, but redirection?
Through Paul’s story in Acts and reflections from real life, you’ll find gentle encouragemen...

In a world that often celebrates going it alone and sings the constant mantra “I am enough,” the life of Jesus presents a striking contrast. Unlike the stories of solitary success we’re so used to hearing, Jesus, the embodiment of God’s perfection, lived a life of complete dependence on God. He invites us to embrace this same path, showing us that true strength is found not in independence, but in trusting fully in God.

In today’s episode, we delve into the reasons behind God’s prompting to leave what we love and explore the remarkable rewards t...
In moments like wrapping up a conversation, putting the finishing touches on a project, or winding down the day with unfinished tasks, it’s common to feel the pull of worry, stress, and regret. We replay scenarios, second-guess ourselves, and fret over potential outcomes. However, there’s another path available to us: after giving our all, we can choose to fully entrust the results to God.
In this episode, we delve into God’s invit...
Purpose-driven living is important, fulfilling, and at times, frustrating. After all, if we are actively partnering with God in living out our purpose on earth, why is progress so slow? Why do so many things go wrong?
In this episode, we’ll look at what drives and motivates God and what we can learn from that. Is being purpose-driven at the center of all He does, or is the deeper reality that God starts with “who?” Who He is, who ...
Jesus didn’t hustle to earn God’s love; He was already enveloped in it. Guess what? So are we! This liberating truth beckons us to exhale, hit the pause button more often, savor extended moments with God, and entrust the outcomes to His capable hands.

We live in unusual and challenging times. Despite being surrounded by people, many feel overwhelmingly lonely. We’re swimming in gigabytes of information, yet it seems like very few know us for who we truly are.
God created us with a longing to belong, so what do we do when we can’t find people who support us, cheer us on, and celebrate us for who God made us to be?
In today’s episode, you’ll learn three practical ways to help you ...
We’re all busy. Overworked, overloaded, and overwhelmed because there’s not enough time to do everything God has called us to do. Or is there?
Today we’re exploring the powerful concept of “time-enoughness,” the fact that there is always enough time to do what God created us to do. The question is, how can the beauty of “time-enoughness” permeate every minute of every day?

You are not alone. Studies show that most people forget 90 percent of a sermon within 48 hours.

What do you do when your best efforts seem to disappear into thin air?
You pour out your heart, offer your gifts, share your message… and hear nothing but crickets. A few people cheer, but momentum fizzles. Others smile politely, but their eyes are elsewhere. And the silence makes you wonder, Is any of this making a difference?

What if the Bible wasn’t just a book to study… but a love letter to savor?

What if God’s grace doesn’t look like what you expected?
Maybe you’ve prayed for relief, and none has come. Maybe you’ve begged for rescue, and the sky has stayed silent. When the suffering lingers and the miracle doesn’t arrive, does that mean grace is missing?
In today’s episode, we’re talking about gritty grace—the kind that doesn’t erase the pain but sustains you through it. We’ll explore ...
What if your limits aren’t in the way—but showing you the way?
We’ve all been there: eager to move forward with a calling or dream God has placed on our hearts… only to run headfirst into a brick wall of limitation. Whether it’s time, money, location, energy, opportunity, or confidence—it can feel like God has called us to something and then placed a “Do Not Enter” sign in front of the only open road.

In this episode, we’re exploring how to align our schedules with our God-given design instead of pushing against the current of how we naturally work best.

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
