Better Equipped with Cody Balch

Cody Balch sits down with author and mentor, Michael Perez, to discuss the often separated topics of "faith" and "finances". Are they meant to stay separated? If not separated, then how should they look when brought together, and what is the impact of connecting them back together in a biblical way? All this and more is sure to bless you, so be sure to listen in and share this conversation out with others who yo...

As humans, we love to gain self confidence and even boast in our achievements, merits, and résumé. The apostle Paul reminds us that, unfortunately, our human/earthly résumé is as good as garbage when it comes to its value or ability to earn us eternal life...in fact, many of those things that we boast in are the very things that compete to keep our hearts from fully surrendering to the Lord. Listen in to this teaching/passage with ...

Do you want to have a thriving marriage now, or for those of you who aren't married, do you want a thriving marriage in your future marriage? There is only one way to have a thriving marriage, and that is by living out God's design for marriage found in Ephesians 5:21-33.

As followers of Jesus, we are called to show love, compassion, and grace, even while we hold unswervingly to the truth of God's word. Christians should not affirm ANY type of sin, but we also should NOT stop loving our neighbor in the process. May believers in Jesus humbly pray and ask God to soften the hearts of people within the LGBTQ+ community so that they will find their salvation and true identity in Jesus alone.

The Apostle Paul uses his real life examples of Timothy and Epaphroditus to invite us in more deeply to how interdependent believers should be toward one another. We need caring believers in our life, and we need to be a disciple of Jesus who deeply and selflessly cares for others the way that Jesus exemplified toward us. I pray that this episode helps you be Better Equipped with the grace and truth of Jesus!

His example is clear, but you are going to need the power of the Holy Spirit to help you grow into His attitude and mindset.

Is Easter all about bunnies, eggs, and family dinners, OR is it truly all about the RESURRECTION of Jesus Christ that changes everything? I take this question onto The Ohio State University's campus to talk with some college students.

Easter is all about the incredible fact that Jesus resurrected from the dead to conquer sin and death once and for all! Want to learn more about Jesus, reach out to me below.

Are you conducting your life in a manner worthy of the Gospel of Jesus Christ? What does that even mean and what would that practically look like? The Apostle Paul uses this language in his letter to the Philippians in chapter 1 verse 27-30, and as believers, this passage should challenge and encourage us like it would have the Philippian believers.
