Worshiping God is more than singing your favorite worship song in church or jamming out to a song about Him on the radio. Worship is a lifestyle and a way for us to put Him first in our lives. In this episode, I share the 3 most important things to understand about worship: it's a lifestyle, it's about our heart, and there's not one right way to worship Him (we can do it whenever and wherever, as long as it honors Him!).

If you desire and are longing to grow a personal relationship with the Lord, start with prayer! Prayer doesn't have to be a mystery. It's simply a way you can communicate with God, provides a way for Him to speak to you (2-way communication), and allows us to bring our praises, requests, troubles, and fears to His feet. Prayer is powerful and transformational and you can experience that power in your own life! In this episode, I covered what prayer is, what it means and looks like to have an ongoing and personal prayer life with the Lord, plus practical tips to get you started. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/shepursues/support

Are you letting God have the final say or your feelings? The good news is it doesn't have to be either/or. Your feelings are a sign that something deeper is going on. You can tune in to them and face them while at the same time, taking them to the Lord who heals the broken-hearted. In this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Jessica Hottle (Christian author, speaker, and coach), where we talked about this concept in her most recent book "Face Off With Your Feelings". She shares step by step how to take your trauma and feelings to the Lord and allow Him to impart truth over the lies you might be believing.

We all know the state of this [earthly] world is a mess. As believers, we should expect this, as we live in a fallen and sinful world. At the same time, we have a God who is bigger than our greatest fears and our biggest storms. In Him, we can find peace, rest, and strength. In Him, we can find our purpose and act according to His ways. I pray this episode encourages you today as you go about your daily life and live out your calling to be the hands and feet of Jesus, to bring Him glory, and to lead others directly to Him! Verses shared in this episode: Psalm 32:7-8 "You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you." Job 42:2 "I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted.” 1 Peter 5:7 "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." Philippians 4:6-7 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." 2 Timothy 1:7 "For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline." Matthew 8:25-27 “And they went and woke him, saying, ‘Save us, Lord; we are perishing.' And he said to them, ‘Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?' Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. And the men marveled, saying, ‘What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?'” Would you like to connect more with Micaeh?

Are you taking ownership of your life? Even as we submit our lives to the Lord, it's important to take ownership of who says we are and who He made us to be. He's asked us to steward every area of our lives to bring Him glory, but we can't do that if we choose to play a victim role and avoid taking any ownership in how we live out our lives. A higher level of responsibility comes with taking ownership, so this episode covers what we can take ownership of (our identity, our life, and our daily choices) and 4 ways to make it happen.  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/shepursues/support

Colossians 3:23 (NIV) tells us: "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters." As we work toward our goals, even when working unto the Lord, it's easy to let them take the place of God in our lives.  Are you looking to your goals to heal a deep rooted pain in your life? Are you hoping your pain will go away when you achieve your goal? Are you even pursuing the right goals, the ones God has designed you to pursue?  The best way to keep our goals from getting in the way of what He wants for us is to draw close to Him and spend time with Him. In this episode, I cover the top 3 distractions that keep us from abiding in Him and a few ways we can carve out time with HIm and make Him more of a priority in our lives than the goals we're chasing.  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/shepursues/support

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by contradictory health advice? Do you put off making changes because you're not sure which direction to go? Are you feeling overwhelmed by trying to do "all the things"? You'll find answers to those questions in THIS episode and learn about the 6 simple habits you can implement right away to restart or get going on your health journey. These are the "tried and true" habits that stand the test of time. Verses in this episode: 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.” 1 Corinthians 10:31 "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” 1 Timothy 4:8 "For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things.” Proverbs 31:17 "She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.” Phil 4:8 "Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise." Colossians 2:6-7 “So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.” Proverbs 3:5-8 “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones."

Do you have a tendency to compare yourself to others? Things like your faith, social status, physical fitness, etc? Even if it's something you don't struggle with often, it's important to be aware of the enemy and his attempt to plant seeds of comparison, lack, or frustration into our lives. In this episode, I share a few stories from the Bible where the characters dealt with comparison, what that means for us as we go about our daily lives, and steps you can take to "quit the game".

Where are you placing your identity? In this interview, Dana and I talk about the importance of knowing our identity in Christ, how placing our identity elsewhere will always leave us feeling dissatisfied, and how we can trust that our identity is rooted and grounded in Him.  Bible verses shared in this episode:  Luke 10:19 "I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you." Ephesians 3:20 "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us." Psalm 32:8 "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you." Colossians 1:13 "He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son" Psalm 103:12 "...as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us." 2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.

It's easy to rely on our own strength or look to "self" as we develop healthy habits and pursue personal growth. In this episode, I share my personal struggle with self-reliance, how God showed up, and why (as believers) it's crucial to pursue God first on our personal growth journey.  "Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live!"
