Mornings with Jeff & Rebecca

Every good and perfect gift comes from above, and the perfect lamb of God was the most precious. Jesus was the only gift the world needed and his arrival opened the floodgates of forgiveness! 

The seed and the sower parable from Jesus has a lot to teach about being fruitful for the Kingdom of God.

In Isaiah, Jesus is given four different names, but why and what do each of these names mean? Jeremy talks about it in today's Morning Motivator.

Comfort and convenience are not the calling of God. Following Jesus is what He is asking, and that's not always easy or comfortable. 

You can feel so much pressure to make everything perfect, that you forget to be present and miss out on the truly important moments. 

If you have messed up in life, God doesn't just throw you away. You may have to learn some hard lessons but there's still room for redemption and another chance.

We have a Christmas decoration on our tree that is simply the word 'HOPE,' but it's more than just a decoration. It is the gift of God for you and for me.

You wouldn't invite someone to dinner and expect them to pay the bill if they had no money. In the same way, Jesus paid the bill He knew we couldn't pay.

If God is for you, you don't have to worry about what's to come.

This Christmas you may be experiencing grief because of the loss of a loved one, divorce or a broken relationship, but Jesus offers hope.

If you find yourself in challenging circumstances, it doesn't mean you are out of the will of God.

Do you have a favorite bible verse? It may be one that you hold on to in hard times, or a promise you cling to when you need encouragement. For Jeremy it is a verse that reminds him of how the light of Christ is meant to be seen as well as heard.

Caryn and her mother took a 90-minute road trip to a Texas quilt shop and didn't even go in! Then they went back the next day! Here's why:

Who taught you to pray? Jeremy's Thanksgiving memory is how he learned to pray from his grandfather. 

Do you love mac and cheese? For one woman, mac and cheese lead to an unexpected blessing?

What do you do when you are not feeling your faith? 

90% of electrical problems are caused by loose connections. In life, our connection to the Lord has a direct impact on how we handle problems.

A town in Alaska won't see the sun again until January 23. When it finally rises, they celebrate. It reminded me of Isaiah 9:2 — the Light always returns, and with it, joy.

An AI generated song just hit number one on the country charts. Impressive, but still artificial. It reminded me how different God is. His Word, His Son, His Spirit… all truth, all real, always trustworthy.

I tried helping our son Zach dress for his new real estate job by sending him a few Pinterest ideas… which somehow turned into me getting a full feed of stylish guys who look way more put together than I do. Now I'm wondering if I'm the one who needs a wardrobe upgrade.

Sharing your faith can feel uncomfortable. I get it. Paul did too. His prayer in Ephesians 6:19–20 encourages me to ask God for the right words and the courage to speak them. The gospel is worth it, even when it stretches us.

A 13-year-old in Texas mowed lawns, saved up, and traded his Xbox… to buy his mom a car. Talk about raising a good one!

The same God who painted the skies with color calls us out of darkness and into His light. What a reminder of His protection and grace.

Kandi and her kids are turning their family's change of Thanksgiving plans into an act of kindness for truckers on the road.

Live salty today! Shine God's love wherever you go, and watch how He uses it to influence the world around you.

I may have lost my phone, but I found some reasons to be thankful. Even the frustrating days have little blessings hiding in them.

Some things can wait, but obedience to God shouldn't be one of them. What could you say “yes” to today instead of “later”?

A dad and his kids started a tiny food pantry with one folding table, a storage bin, and a couple of coolers, and now it's feeding people every day. You never know how far one simple act can go! 

Sometimes God asks us to take a step of faith that doesn't make sense in the moment. We're called to do what He's asked of us, and trust Him to handle the rest.

Ten Baylor players were baptized this week... by their teammates. Such a sweet picture of faith and friendship!

I'm starting to ask myself more often: “Is this bringing me closer to Jesus?” And if the answer is no, maybe something needs to shift.

This melted me! A little KCBI listener has a cowboy hat that has been passed down through four generations... from his “Great Poppy in heaven” all the way to him.

You don't need to be everything to everyone. God made you for something specific. And He prepared you for today.

It's okay to hold more than one feeling at once. Grief and joy can sit right next to each other… and God is present in both.

I'm learning that sometimes the very problems I wish would disappear are the places God grows my faith the most.

A hunter was lost in the Sierra National Forest for three weeks, and when he prayed, “Lord, you've got to send somebody”… he looked up and saw headlights. God still answers.

If you need something to hold onto today, pick one verse and speak it like it's true about you. God's Word isn't just for reading... it's for living.

Okay Texas friends: this Sunday is Texas State Parks Day! Which means… free entry to all 89 state parks.Dinosaur tracks? Sand dune sledding?? Quiet trails and pretty trees??? Yes. Let's go.

Thinking about what we leave behind one day…More than money or things, our faith is something that can shape generations.

A monkey in a diaper running loose in a Plano store? Just another day in the wild world of fall shopping.
