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 have an open invitation from Jesus in [Matthew 11:28-30]. Let's get bound to Jesus and "Heal".

This is part 2 in our series entitled Bound where we learn how to "Break Up". None of us can afford to be bound to someone or something that we are "unequally yoked to". When we are "breaking up" with the unbeliever, we must do 4 things:check yourself 1st, be sure to be in Biblical community, cut ties, and heal. 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. We dive into the Biblical meaning of regret and look into [2 Corinthians 6:14] to see how regret can be a great thing when we take accountability for where we are in life.

Being single can be a Blessing if you allow it to be. But, let's be real, you are looking for that certain someone. It's important that we date with intentionality and that we do not ignore red flags. Dating is all about gathering the data that you need to see if someone is in alignment with you.

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

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.

Christianity is not for the weak. In today's world, with people leaving the faith in droves, it's important that we have a meaningful relationship with Jesus and that we can articulate the gospel to others.

2024 has come to an end and we are moving forward in God's will for our lives, not settling for anything less. As we reflect on a year of some good and a lot of challenge, it's a refocus on God and staying aligned with His will for my life. It's easy to live life according to the flesh, but to do it God's way is a cross worth bearing.

One's personal time with God is essential for growth and sustaining a meaningful relationship with God and like-minded believers. We must all be intentional about our "quiet time" with God and make it a daily part of our life.

It takes some time, but you can have a "quiet time" that is meaningful and life-changing.

Words have power and it's important that we deliver any message with love, grace, and willingness to understand. On this episode we talk about how a message is delivered and use an ancient and biblical theme of how delivering a message on a horse or a donkey makes a difference. There is a major difference.

With a presidential election around the corner, too many people are aligning and identifying with things that aren't advantageous to whom God called them to be.

Discipleship is essential for us to grow spiritually mature in a healthy way.

Moral failures within the church seem to be more common than churches on every corner in the Bible belt. These failures rock not only those directly related, but those who have been hurt by the church or those wanting to come to Jesus, but have doubts. We are called to respond and not react. Now more so than ever, we need to turn to God and obey what He says. There has to be a level of care and accountability in the body of Christ. There's no better time for us to get healthy and better in how we as Christians steward our lives. Thank you for listening and sharing this podcast! This concludes season 8!!!
