The 12
The underlying cause for struggle in the believer's life is the lack of spiritual discipline. We usually know enough to attend church, but we lack the spiritual fortitude to walk out our faith. That truth not only hold us back from experiencing the full life God has created us for, but it also means that our potential for building the Kingdom of God and influencing the world for Christ is wasted. This pod cast is designed to help the believer build habits that lead to spiritual maturity.

Jesus gave us an example to follow in discipleship. He led in such a way - connected to God, and connected to others - demonstrating that we are better together. This disciple-making process starts with a seed and ends with more seeds: Planted, Rooted, Growing, Producing Fruit, and Multiplying. From a seed planted to a seed multiplied.
God wants us to see ourselves as one being sent - sent to present the Gospel and to disciple. We are to remain in that cyclical process and create environments for others to connect, learn, grow, and do the same. It is in those spaces that we have the opportunity to live on mission, to disciple and be a spiritual coach for others.

I admit, juggling between work, family, taking care of our home, our bills, being active in our community and church…it can be disorienting at times. This is all the more reason to maintain a disciplined prayer life. Lets take a quick look at three ways Paul encourages us to have daily encounters with God.
We’ve all probably had a personal gut punch in our life-time. A loved one passing, loss of a job, rejection of special someone, or an unexpected bill. The truth is, we need to expect the unexpected. Let's chat for a minute about noble king who after receiving a death sentence, was granted 15 bonus years to live.

How often do we walk around defeated, seemingly powerless, all because we are loosing the battle in our mind before we even pick up our sword? The battle in Gideon’s mind probably isn't very different that yours. Let's look at five keys to fighting that battle. Click here for the Show notes. Click for the GoFundMe page.
It's one thing to be a "fan" it's another to be an actual follower. Joshua was following this great leader, learning, serving, and doing. But now Moses is dead and its time for Joshua to step out. God tells him, "get ready" - it's you turn to lead.

I think it’s safe to say that we all face dilemmas everyday. Situations where we have to make decisions about what’s better for us personally, or as a family, or as a business. So what’s better, or even best? How do I know? Perhaps a few simple questions will help us to sort it out. Click HERE to download the show notes.
I think we all want revival - personally and corporately. The problem is that our enthusiasm for Jesus gets muddied down by the messy middle of life. This happens in other areas of our life - our marriages, our parenting, our schooling, our jobs, and careers. It’s not intentional. Our excuse is often times, “well, life happened.” Things got messy in the middle. Things got harder and I thought it was supposed to get easier. This is ...
I believe we are always in the midst of revival but we far too often miss it because we get stuck in the messy middle of a mundane Christian life. Revival isn’t something that comes and goes. It’s not a special event or series of services. Revival is always present. Revival is something that we either embrace or overlook. Are you experiencing personal revival, or are you stuck in the messy middle of life?
Ideally, the purpose of the President’s State of the Union address is to instill confidence in the current government system and to display how the current administration is protecting and providing for the people. It’s also a means to propose his personal plans for the years to come. What would it look like for you to give an address about the state of your union with Christ?

Where there is no vision, the people are unrestrained (perish). But happy is he who keeps the law. (Provers 29:18)
God’s VISION is that of divine relationship - that God’s people would be holy and set aside for his glory. The LAW was designed to give us guidelines, boundaries, and processes to fulfill God’s vision for that very relationship.
VISION when accompanied by PROCESS brings blessing. We become not only inspired and motivat...
It has been discovered that the second Friday of the year is the day when about 80% of people drop or quit their New Years resolutions. I’m pretty sure that none of us have to look very far in our own history to see resolutions that we have “quit” on. Most resolutions are around the idea of health - exercising, eating better, or maybe even stopping a negative habit like smoking. Whatever your resolutions might be, I want to briefly...
Is there a Christmas that stands out above the rest for you? Maybe it was the year that your significant other popped the big question with a beautiful diamond ring. Maybe it was the year that your dad got you a puppy. I’m sure there is one that sticks out in your mind even now. What was it? Do you want to know mine?
Whether you are manager at Walmart, a high school teacher, a shift supervisor at Chik-Fil-A, a VP of operations at Exxon, a PTA president, or a volunteer coordinator at your church, building teams is a HUGE part of what we all do. With the winter holidays on top of us, I know that we are all feeling the pressure to finish 2022 strong, and plan for an amazing 2023. I am no expert in building teams, but I have learned a few things ov...
Having an attitude of gratitude requires that we remember three things: Our Past–how far he has brought us, His Promises–His faithfulness now and his faithfulness yet to come, and His power–He uses our barriers as stepping stones toward victory. Failure to remember puts us on the road to disappointment, because what we fail to remember we are prone to repeat. Download the FREE study guide HERE or copy and paste this link into your ...
I was the typical little brother, notorious for being a tag along to my older siblings. The thing about tag alongs is that they are generally uninvited guests. Sometimes I think that's how I've viewed my relationship with God. Can you relate? So then what do we do with the Scripture where Paul says "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength" (Phil 4:13)? We are not bystanders taking a casual ride on the coat tails of...
The Psalmist said THIS is the day the Lord has made and we need to rejoice in it! But far too often Mondays can become mundane, Tuesdays can be tiresome, Wednesday become whiny, Thursdays can be treacherous, Friday’s get freaky, Saturday are sleepy, and Sundays become scattered. That's not living life to the fullest and that's definitely not what God intended. Everyday is an opportunity to meet with God, to enjoy our relationships,...
