    This episode is all about the growth. This was a great conversation with my brother Philip Hall about what we've learned this year. We touch on running this race to win it, not just receive a participation trophy…because there are none. We also talk about the blindspots that leave many Christians oblivious to the inept place we hold in our own homes and circle. Thank God for the growth… Enjoy.

    Episode 153 - Ownership You are not your own. This is a reality that must be reconciled with those who say they are children of God. I believe it's the struggle of that reality that causes the most struggle for believers. This episode I talk about what it means to be God's own and how God's ownership fuels the very purpose of our existence on this earth. As I weighed my own purpose these past weeks, I came to a couple of truths that I think could serve you well…so enjoy. Check out these past episodes!

    We are back! During my hiatus, I found myself in a tough time. During that time I had to ask myself, how did I get here? The answer was sobering, I got there because of my choices. This podcast I want to walk you through that question, using Job and Jonah. We often ask God why, instead of asking ourselves.

    This episode is for those that may suffer with anxiety or just feel a way in these strange times or just on the regular. My question to you is, why do you think you can think on just anything, and not feel just about everything? Guard your mind like you guard access to your phone. Be selective. Be exclusive. Be protective. This has little to do with ignoring people and everything to do with ignoring thoughts. Think on these things.

    Episode 146 is about growth. What causes growth in our lives is the same thing that causes growth in trees…water. What is this water? How can I get it? Why does it matter that I grow as a Christian? If we talk about fruit, I have to show you how to develop it in our lives.
