What's in your backpack? What are you carrying around with you from yesterday? Life is full of adventure, lessons, memories, and stress.

When we focus on God, He will tell us what we need to carry and what to drop. We get to start each day with an empty backpack. We can ch...

On this week's episode, we are talking about change. Not the change that gets to come with growth, but the change that can only happen from the Holy Spirit.

As spouses, we get to realize that we cannot change our spouse. Their personality, standards, behaviors, and attitude will be the same after the wedding as it was while you were dating. This is why it is important to decide before you get into a relationship, what you will allow...
