The Power of Promises: How Keeping Your Word Changes Your Life and Faith

Have you ever broken a promise to yourself? Said you'd start something and never followed through? You're not alone.

In this week’s episode, Pastor Joe unpacks the spiritual and personal power behind promises — especially the ones we make to ourselves. Using scripture, personal testimony, and the story of Jonathan and David, you’ll learn why God takes promises seriously and how one small commitment can reshape your identity, rebuild your relationship with Him, and transform your life.
