Are you feeling stuck in a difficult season, wondering if God is still directing your steps? In this powerful message, Pastor Elliott Warren reveals how to recognize when a season is changing and how to trust God even when He seems completely silent. We all experience seasons of transition where life feels chaotic, out of control, or completely stagnant. Whether you are facing a financial trial, navigating a difficult relationship, or struggling to find your true purpose, it's easy to feel like God has forgotten you. Drawing from the biblical stories of Jacob's desperation in the famine and Elisha's unwavering commitment to follow Elijah, this sermon uncovers the hidden ways God orders your steps behind the scenes. You will learn why victory in your current season is the key to unlocking your next assignment, and why keeping a posture of spiritual curiosity matters. If you are ready to break free from wrong mindsets, unlock a corporate breakthrough, and learn how to intensely hold onto God until you receive your promise, this message will give you the hope and practical faith you need to press forward.

In this rerun episode, Drs. May and Tim revisit one of their most grounded conversations: the real meaning of thankfulness. They explore why gratitude is so hard to maintain in a world that profits from your dissatisfaction, how social media has turned gratitude into a trend, and why Black Friday perfectly exposes the contradiction of the season. They share personal reflections on contentment, the endless pursuit of “better,” and the simple practice of pausing long enough to appreciate what's already in front of you. It's an episode that feels just as relevant today as it did the first time—maybe even more.GET SOCIAL WITH US!

In this episode of Finding Contentment, the podcast from The American Institute of Stress, we're taking a closer look at stress management within one of the most demanding environments there is—the military. Service members face unique pressures that can take a toll on both body and mind, from the intense demands of deployment to the challenges of transitioning back to civilian life.Our guest today has dedicated their career to understanding and addressing those pressures, helping to bring effective, science-based stress solutions—like Alpha-Stim—into the hands of those who serve. We'll explore how the conversation around stress and mental health in the military has evolved, what's being done to improve readiness and resilience, and how innovative tools are making a real difference. Whether you're a service member, veteran, or supporter, this episode is about finding safe, effective ways to manage stress and strengthen well-being.

Not everything in life has to spark joy. Sometimes, joy simply lives in having what you need—clean underwear, a steady paycheck, a safe home, a quiet moment to breathe. It doesn't have to be perfect to be enough. Because “Good enough” isn't the same as settling for harm; it's about recognizing what supports you right now. The wisdom lies in knowing when something's serving you and when it's time to lovingly let it go.

Ashley Anderson is a ministry leader and wise voice who lives in New York and has become a dear, dear friend of mine. She was our April guest on the Single Purpose League podcast last month, and we had a conversation around having a theology of singleness—What does that mean? Why does it matter? What does Scripture say about being single? It felt so important to all of us so, today, we're sharing that conversation with all of you.  We're doing that this week because Single Purpose League registration is open! We only open it up certain times a year, so we're able to have intentional time going a little bit deeper with our members, so SPL registration is open RIGHT NOW but it closes on Thursday—THIS Thursday May 15th—at 11:59pm CST. If you have a friend who could benefit from a community of women figuring out our single purpose and our purpose while single, will you text them this episode and let them know about Single Purpose League? Every month we're tackling topics that help us thrive as single people. We have an exclusive podcast, monthly livestream where we do Q&A (they're a blast) and opportunities throughout the year to meet up in person and connect. We also just announced our summer book club, so now's a GREAT time to jump in. You can learn more and sign up at singlepurposeleague.com, but remember registration closes on Thursday night and won't open again until the fall.
