Despite Christianity being the #1 religion in the world, we are unfortunately losing people in record numbers and it is all because of bad theology and the abuse of a faith that requires love. We as disciple making disciples cannot allow culture, politics, bad theology, or whatever else to rob, abuse, or mislead people away from God's intention for a covenant relationship with Him.

Healing is a choice and it's important that we are bound to Jesus to live the life that God desires for us. This is part 3, the final installment of the Bound series. We learn that in order for us to make the choice to "HEAL" we must Forgive | be Accountable | set Boundaries | and Realign with God (Repent).

We don't want what we are bound to to cost us everything.

When you look back over your life, what do you regret? I was going on a "milestone walk" and reflecting on where I am in life when I began to rethink how I looked at regret.

Being single can be a Blessing if you allow it to be. But, let's be real, you are looking for that certain someone.

Jesus commands us to convert and to be like children. That seems so simple, but we make it so complicated.

Involving God in your life doesn't have to be a rocket science project. Whether you are atop of a mountain or looking down in a valley, God is with you and for you.

On this episode, I speak about serving in our food distribution ministry and leading a young man to Christ. As believers, we must stay diligent that we are doing God's work.

With Valentine's Day in the rearview mirror, we are diving into the challenges of idolizing love. Too many of us are missing the importance of filtering how we view love through Scripture.
