Send us a textDo you ever find yourself critiquing others' spiritual journeys while comfortably sitting on the sidelines? In this heartfelt devotional, we explore how surprisingly easy it is to become spiritual critics rather than compassionate guides—much like shouting advice at cooking show contestants from our couches when we couldn't handle the pressure ourselves.Drawing from personal experience, I share my early struggles with a critical spirit that hindered rather than helped my witness for Christ. The turning point came through David's humble prayer in Psalm 51, "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right and steadfast spirit within me." This scripture reminds us that transformation begins within before it can overflow to others. Jesus never commanded us to tell people how bad they are—He called us to share good news.The solution isn't complicated but requires intentionality: spending consistent time in God's presence. Through worship, scripture, and prayer, God smooths our rough edges like a master craftsman. The Bible becomes His refining tool, revealing areas where we need growth while providing the nourishment necessary for transformation. When we allow God to work on our critical spirits, our approach to evangelism naturally shifts from condemnation to invitation, from pointing out darkness to reflecting light.Whether you're feeling spiritually polished or a bit rough around the edges today, take encouragement from this truth: what a difference it makes when, rather than telling people how bad they are, we start showing them how good our God is. Spend some extra time in His presence today, invite His refining touch, and watch how your witness for Him transforms. After all, what you make happen for others, God will make happen for you.Support the show

Send us a textHave you ever noticed how missing just one hour of sleep can completely derail your day? Our spiritual lives work the same way. When we neglect our connection with God, we operate from a place of depletion rather than divine fullness.Drawing from John 14:27, we explore Christ's extraordinary promise: "Peace I leave with you, my perfect peace I give to you." This isn't the conditional, temporary peace the world offers—it's a supernatural tranquility that remains steadfast through every storm. Jesus, called the Prince of Peace in Isaiah 9:6, offers us rest that transforms not just our inner world but our capacity to serve others.The beautiful truth is that we're never alone on this journey. When Jesus ascended to heaven, He ensured we wouldn't be left without help. Through the Holy Spirit dwelling in every believer, we now have continuous, 24/7 access to God's throne of grace. While the world aims to steal our peace and drain our energy, Christ has already overcome these challenges. He came not to burden us but to bring life more abundantly.For those struggling to establish this vital connection, try the simple yet transformative 5-5-5 method: five minutes of Bible reading, five minutes of praise, and five minutes of prayer. What begins as a spiritual discipline often grows into a life-giving habit that leaves you rested in Him and ready to face whatever challenges come your way. Join us as we discover how to find perfect peace in an increasingly chaotic world. Subscribe now and make time with God the priority that changes everything else.Support the show

Send us a textWhen faced with life's seemingly impossible situations, our first response often mirrors Philip's in John 6:7—we calculate our resources and confidently declare, "There's not enough." We exaggerate our limitations to God, as if He needs convincing about how dire our circumstances truly are.This daily encouragement explores the profound truth that Jesus already knows when a miracle is needed. He isn't waiting for elaborate solutions or expecting us to somehow generate additional resources. Instead, He invites us to surrender our doubts and bring what little we have with complete trust. The beautiful paradox of faith reveals itself when we stop fixating on what we lack and start focusing on who God is—alpha and omega, owner of "cattle on a thousand hills," with driveways of solid gold.Hope takes on new meaning when understood as confident expectation rather than wishful thinking. As children of the King, adopted into the greatest family in the universe, we have every reason to expect good things today. The invitation stands: be still, keep your eyes locked on Him rather than on circumstances, and watch as He makes a way where there seems to be no way. Remember this powerful principle—what you make happen for others, God will make happen for you. Your "not enough" becomes more than enough in the hands of our abundantly generous God.Support the show

Send us a textDo you find yourself constantly returning to old patterns, habits, and mindsets despite knowing better? Most of us struggle not because we lack knowledge but because we don't truly understand our identity in Christ. Drawing from Hebrews 12:1, we explore how recognizing who we are in Christ empowers us to "strip off every unnecessary weight and sin which so easily entangles us."My own journey through self-doubt and negative self-perception taught me that freedom isn't something we achieve—it's something we accept. When my pastor simply said, "Be free," it transformed my understanding. Those two small words encompass a powerful truth: being free means acknowledging it's already done. Christ paid for everything on the cross—not just our sins, but our joy, peace, healing, victory, and favor. Our responsibility isn't to earn these gifts but to walk in what's already ours.The gateway to this freedom comes through immersing yourself in God's Word and understanding His thoughts toward you. You are constantly on God's mind, and His thoughts about you are consistently good. Even if your earthly experience lacked love or affirmation, the spiritual reality is that you've been adopted into the greatest family that exists. Today's challenge is simple yet profound: be who God says you are. Embrace your freedom, for what Jesus paid for is already yours. And remember the principle that transforms our interactions: what you make happen for others, God will make happen for you.Support the show

Send us a textHave you ever wondered if your relationship with God has become one-sided? That striking question opens our exploration into the nature of true fellowship with our Creator. We challenge listeners to honestly reflect: how often do you approach God simply to love Him, without presenting a list of needs?Drawing from the beautiful promise in Lamentations 3:22-23, we discover that God's compassions never fail and are new every morning—a foundation for understanding His desire for genuine relationship. While it's true that God wants us to walk in victory and has given us His Word as a tool for that purpose, there's something profoundly transformative about approaching prayer from a perspective of adoration rather than acquisition.The true power in this message comes from recognizing what happens when we shift our focus. As we spend more time in God's presence, our self-centeredness naturally diminishes. When we sit at His feet in worship, our doubts about His care for us fade away. Problems that once seemed overwhelming "cower at the brightness of his glory" when viewed from His perspective. This isn't merely positive thinking—it's experiencing the reality-altering power of divine communion.We conclude with a practical challenge: approach God today without asking for anything. Simply worship Him, honor Him, and praise Him. This act of selfless adoration not only pleases the heart of God but becomes our most effective spiritual weapon. Like Joshua at Jericho, we discover that praise and worship are how we fight our battles, watching as walls come tumbling down. Your time of fellowship with God isn't just devotional—it's revolutionary.Support the show

Send us a textWhat does it truly mean to be "poor in spirit," and why does Jesus call this state "blessed"? This profound exploration of Matthew 5:3 unpacks one of the most counterintuitive teachings in Scripture—that spiritual poverty actually leads to kingdom riches.Joshua Scott Zeitz vulnerably shares his personal journey from pride and self-sufficiency to humble surrender. "Before I came to Jesus, I was so full of pride and arrogance," he reflects. "In essence, I thought I was the smartest person in the room because my room consisted of well, just me. It was a horrible room." This powerful testimony illuminates how recognizing our spiritual bankruptcy becomes the doorway to transformation.Drawing wisdom from 1 Peter 5:5-7, we examine how placing ourselves under God's Word constitutes true biblical humility. The apostle Peter—who once rebuked Jesus and later denied him—eventually understood this principle deeply. His story reminds us that God consistently "gives grace to the humble" while opposing "the proud, the disdainful, the presumptuous." When we surrender our self-sufficiency and acknowledge our need for Christ, we position ourselves to receive everything He desires to give us.Are you struggling with something that weighs you down? Try this radical approach: instead of relying on your own understanding, place yourself completely under God's Word. Quote it. Think on it. Let it consume you more than your problems. Then watch as His truth gradually melts away your burdens and transforms your life. You are blessed to be a blessing—what you make happen for others, God will make happen for you!Support the show

Send us a textComparison is the thief of joy—especially in our spiritual lives. Drawing from Philippians 3:13-14, we explore why the backward glance can sabotage our forward progress in faith. "Forgetting what lies behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal..." Paul's words remind us that the Christian journey isn't about measuring up to others but pressing forward in our unique calling.Have you ever wished your spiritual growth came with a progress bar? Unfortunately, life doesn't work that way. Looking deeper at Jesus's parable of the talents reveals a profound truth: the master didn't compare the servants to each other, but evaluated each based on what they did with what they were given. This perfectly illustrates God's economy—we aren't judged against fellow believers but on our faithfulness with our unique measure of faith.The danger of what I call "comparison Christianity" lurks in our churches and social media feeds, tempting us to measure our worth against others' apparent success. This toxic mindset breeds offense, bitterness, and devastating battles with self-worth. Instead of gauging your spiritual progress by likes, acceptance, or church position, I challenge you to focus on the Father's business—sharing good news, encouraging others, and loving genuinely. When we're busy serving others, we simply won't have time to track our supposed progress or compare ourselves. You are who God says you are—not what comparisons suggest.

Send us a textDo you ever feel like you're playing different characters depending on where you are and who you're with? From parent to professional, church member to community volunteer, we all wear multiple hats in life—and sometimes the constant role-switching can leave us feeling spiritually disconnected.Drawing from Colossians 3:24, this episode dives deep into the challenge of maintaining an authentic Christian witness across all areas of life. Rather than compartmentalizing our faith or becoming "spiritual chameleons," we explore the liberating truth that our identity remains constant because our lives are "hidden with Christ in God."The secret to consistency isn't trying harder to manage different personas. Instead, it comes through intentionally setting our minds on eternal things rather than earthly concerns. This heavenly focus creates an internal compass that guides our interactions regardless of context. We don't have to stress about which "crowd" we're with because we're always looking for opportunities to encourage, bless, and uplift others.Most refreshingly, this approach doesn't demand constant "ministry mode." We can fully enjoy recreation, entertainment, and relaxation while still doing everything "as unto the Lord." Whether through meaningful conversations or simple acts of kindness, we can wear a thousand different hats while remaining a consistent light in each one. What roles will you embrace today with this eternal perspective?Support the show

Send us a textWe explore the powerful message from Psalms 46 about finding refuge and strength in God, challenging the common tendency to compartmentalize faith until crisis hits. By intentionally practicing stillness and inviting divine presence into our daily decisions, we can transform our approach to life's challenges both big and small.• God is described as "our refuge and strength, a very present help in time of trouble"• Many people treat God like a spare tire or genie in a bottle, only involving Him during crises• When we compartmentalize God, we miss opportunities for blessing and guidance• Intentionally involving God in decision-making, finances, parenting and work reduces stress• Not about getting "hooky spooky" but about purposefully including God in more areas of life• Finding scriptures for areas where you've been operating independently• What you make happen for others, God will make happen for youTake some time today to identify areas in your life where you've been trying to manage without God's involvement, find scriptures that speak to those situations, and watch those areas begin to transform.Support the show

Send us a textHave you ever found yourself wondering where God is in the midst of your struggles? That disconnect between what we feel and what we know to be true creates some of the most challenging moments in our spiritual journey.Today we're tackling the profound tension between our emotional experiences and God's unchanging Word. When circumstances seem to contradict what Scripture promises, we face a critical decision: will we trust our feelings or stand on divine truth? As we explore John 4:24, we discover that genuine worship happens "in spirit and in truth" - not just when our emotions align with our faith.God has promised never to leave or forsake us, yet we don't always feel His presence. The secret to developing unshakable peace isn't found in perfect circumstances but in consistently anchoring ourselves to Scripture. When we commit to "keep putting the Word in, no matter what," something remarkable happens. The challenges that once devastated us lose their power, and we develop what Colossians 3:15 calls "the inner calm of one who walks daily with Him."This spiritual stability becomes our greatest testimony. When others witness our inexplicable peace amid chaos, they inevitably ask how we maintain such composure - creating natural opportunities to share the gospel. The blessed assurance we seek doesn't come from emotional highs but from the solid foundation of God's promises. His Word stands eternal, "forever settled in heaven," while our feelings come and go.Join us in discovering how to worship in spirit and truth, finding refuge under the wings of our heavenly Father when life's storms rage.

Send us a textHave you ever considered that your approach to faith might resemble your approach to property—renting versus owning? This profound analogy forms the heart of today's reflection on Matthew 22:37, where Jesus commands us to "love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind."When we rent a home, we handle minor upkeep but leave major repairs to the landlord. Similarly, many believers "rent" their spiritual lives—attending church, reading Scripture occasionally, or giving offerings—while leaving the heavier lifting to God. We check religious boxes without fully investing ourselves. But Jesus calls for something far deeper: complete ownership of our faith journey.True spiritual ownership transforms everything. Prayer becomes conversation rather than obligation. Worship becomes expression rather than performance. Service becomes privilege rather than duty. Yet this level of devotion isn't always comfortable or easy. As today's message reminds us, "Life is not always peaches and cream, and neither is our walk with the Lord." There will be seasons when we don't feel spiritually motivated, when circumstances seem contradictory to God's promises, when prayers appear unanswered. During these wilderness periods, the enemy seeks to foster apathy, hoping we'll retreat to mere religious observation.The antidote? Continued obedience regardless of feelings. Sometimes faith means simply declaring, "Come hell or high water, I'm going to walk with Jesus," and taking the next step forward. The feelings will eventually align with the actions, but we must first choose commitment. Today, decide to move beyond a renter's mentality. Choose to love and serve God with your entire being—heart, soul, and mind—even when it's difficult. Your perseverance will not only strengthen your faith but inspire others around you.Support the show

Send us a textHave you ever felt the pressure to experience everything, see it all, and constantly be in motion? Today's reflection on Proverbs 4:25-27 invites us into a counter-cultural wisdom that transforms our perspective on life's seemingly ordinary moments.Drawing from the simple pleasure of watching fish swim in an aquarium, we explore how quality experiences often outshine quantity, and how this principle applies to our spiritual journey. While the world pushes us toward constant stimulation and visible achievements, some of our most significant growth happens in the quiet, unwitnessed moments of life.These "mundane" seasons—when progress feels slow and excitement wanes—are precisely when character and integrity are forged most powerfully. When no one is watching except you and God, something profound happens: preparation for purpose. As we share in this episode, "Allowing Him to mold and make us in the secret place is what prepares us for the public space."God rarely speaks through spectacular displays or overwhelming experiences. Instead, transformation typically happens through that still, small voice that requires intentional listening. Learning to appreciate life's simple pleasures creates contentment that doesn't depend on constant stimulation or novelty. When we embrace this truth, we discover that Jesus truly is more than enough.Listen now and be encouraged that your seemingly insignificant moments matter deeply to God.

Send us a textHave you ever carried a cup filled to the brim, carefully avoiding a spill? While servers learn to look straight ahead when carrying full cups, our spiritual lives thrive when we're so filled with God's Word that we overflow everywhere we go.Drawing from the beautiful imagery of Psalm 23:5—"Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies, thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over"—we discover the tremendous power of being saturated with Scripture. When we're full of God's promises, we naturally leave less room for the enemies of our soul: worry, fear, anxiety, doubt, anger, and sin.The most revealing moments in our lives come when pressure hits—when life "kicks our bucket." Whatever we've filled ourselves with will inevitably spill out. If you've stored up Scripture, you'll be prepared to declare "no vacancy" to every challenge that knocks at your door. Whether it's anger rising (respond with James 1:19), sickness approaching (counter with 1 Peter 2:24), or worry pulling at you (answer with Philippians 4:6), God's Word provides the perfect response to life's toughest situations. You don't need to master this overnight—start today with small steps, and watch as the Word works wonders in your life. What spiritual filling are you prioritizing today? Subscribe to Mornings with Jesus for your daily dose of encouragement, and start experiencing the power of an overflowing cup.Support the show

Send us a textHave you ever dismissed God's actions as simply "mysterious ways" that you'll never understand? Today's encouragement challenges that notion with a fresh perspective on our relationship with the Creator of the universe.At the heart of Christianity lies an astounding truth: God doesn't want to keep you in the dark. Jesus explicitly told his disciples, "I no longer call you servants... Instead, I call you friends." This transformative statement reveals God's desire for transparency and intimacy with you. While servants remain outside the inner circle of knowledge, friends are invited into understanding.The contrast couldn't be more striking. As one pastor wisely observed, "The devil hides things FROM us, but God hides things FOR us." This distinction changes everything about how we approach our faith journey. When God conceals wisdom, it's not to exclude us but to invite us into the treasure hunt of discovery—a process that builds relationship and intimacy with Him.Jesus didn't merely come to earth as a distant savior issuing prescriptions for our spiritual maladies from behind glass. He immersed Himself completely in our messy human experience. The God of the universe reserves a table for two with your name on it—a personal, one-on-one relationship that transcends religious obligation. He stands at the door of your heart, knocking gently, waiting to be invited in for unhurried conversation.Whether you've been sitting regularly with God or it's been months since your last meaningful connection, today's message offers reassurance: He isn't disappointed in your absence. He's madly in love with you, holding your seat at His table. Will you accept the invitation to sit with Him today?Support the show

Send us a textHave you ever felt so overwhelmed that your first instinct was to run away from everything? That desperate feeling of wanting to escape your problems is something we all experience, but today's message offers a life-changing perspective on where we should run when life gets tough.Through a beautifully crafted poem called "Running," we explore the journey from running away from God's goodness to running toward His loving arms. The poem paints a vivid picture of someone worn out from fighting their battles alone, making their bed in the darkness, and bound by chains of their own making. But the narrative shifts dramatically when they finally cry out to God and discover that divine pursuit never ceased. "I stepped out on the waves. Now there's joy in lieu of sorrow. In you, I found my healing." These words capture the profound transformation that occurs when we change direction and run toward God rather than away from Him.What makes this message so powerful is its gentle reminder that no one is beyond redemption. "Are you running, hurting, lonely? Done things you never meant to? Come back to the Father. He longs to forgive you." The invitation extends to everyone, regardless of past mistakes or present struggles. The promise that "if you're on this side of glory, you can always start again" offers hope that today can be different if we choose to rest in God's loving arms. Whatever you're facing right now, take comfort in knowing that God has it under control, and His presence is just a prayer away. Will you join us in running toward Him rather than away from Him today?Support the show

Send us a textWhat's that one thing you're keeping back from God? That area you carefully protect, that habit you justify, that comfort you return to when life gets difficult? Today's powerful reflection on Psalm 139:23-24 tackles the courage required to pray, "Search me thoroughly, O God, and know my heart."There's a transformative truth at work in our spiritual lives: whatever we withhold from God inevitably becomes a mess, while whatever we surrender becomes blessed. King David exemplifies this principle perfectly. Despite his spectacular moral failures—adultery with Bathsheba and arranging her husband's murder—David's willingness to return to God with complete transparency is why he remained "a man after God's own heart." His example challenges us to examine what we might be holding back.In a deeply personal moment, I share my own battle with pornography, a struggle that persisted even after my spiritual transformation and marriage. Like many, I created exceptions and justifications, using this sin as a crutch when facing life's difficulties. Freedom only came when I finally exposed it fully to God's light, rediscovered my identity in Christ, and claimed the spiritual authority available to every believer. Your struggle may be different, but the pathway to freedom remains the same: complete surrender. Whatever God reveals, He wants to heal. Will you let Him search your heart today? Your breakthrough might be just one prayer away.Support the show

Send us a textGrace doesn't erase consequences. This powerful truth lies at the heart of today's candid exploration of sin's lasting impact on our lives.Drawing from his dramatic testimony of transformation that began in a jail cell, Joshua Scott Zeitz reveals the hard-won wisdom that took years to fully grasp: while God forgives completely, the ripple effects of our choices continue long after repentance. As he vulnerably shares, "I had to learn this the hard way. Before I met Jesus, I was a total mess. I made so many horrible and wicked decisions that followed me well up into my adult years, decisions that not only affected me on a personal level but also had an impact on those around me, like my wife and children."Joshua carefully balances this sobering reality with the assurance of God's unconditional forgiveness, referencing 1 John 1:9 and the parable of the prodigal son. Yet he cautions against what he calls "slippery grace"—the dangerous notion that we can sin freely, ask forgiveness, and escape consequences entirely. "Sin is fun for a season," he warns, "but afterwards there's hell to pay." This isn't about God withholding forgiveness, but rather about the connected nature of life itself.The good news? No matter your past, you can begin sowing different seeds today. Whether your testimony involves a dramatic conversion or years of regrettable choices, this moment presents an opportunity to position yourself for a magnificent harvest through better decisions. Take your first step away from the edge of temptation and toward the abundant life God designed for you.

Send us a textThe spiritual battlefield requires vigilance, especially when we're at our weakest. Drawing from 1 Peter 5:8, we examine how the enemy operates "like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour" and what this means for our daily spiritual practices.Have you noticed how your worst decisions often come when you're tired, hungry, stressed, or overworked? This isn't coincidental. As one pastor wisely observed, "When emotions are high, decision-making is low." These vulnerable moments are precisely when spiritual vigilance becomes most critical—and when the enemy is most likely to attack. The warning that Satan will "take you to hell with a hangnail" vividly illustrates how even small compromises can lead to significant spiritual derailment.True sobriety and vigilance extend beyond abstaining from substances. They involve carefully guarding what we allow past our "eyes, ears, and mouth gates." Every heart contains an invisible throne that can only be occupied by one entity: either Jesus reigns supreme, or we attempt to usurp His rightful place through neglect and self-centeredness. The good news? No matter what decisions we've made in the past, we always have the opportunity to make the next right one—to bend our knees and surrender to the King of Kings.Join us as we explore what it means to stand as sentinels in God's kingdom, remaining sober, staying vigilant, and witnessing for the One who is infinitely worthy. Remember: life is connected, and when we guard our hearts with all diligence, we're not just protecting ourselves—we're preserving our testimony and witness to a watching world.Support the show

Send us a textSatan only shows you the thrill, not the bill that comes after. Through passages from Isaiah and Ezekiel, we uncover how Lucifer—once described as "full of wisdom and perfect in beauty"—fell from his exalted position through pride and rebellion. This fallen angel then approached Adam and Eve in Eden, offering temporary pleasure while hiding devastating consequences.Why does something so wrong feel so right in the moment? I share my personal journey through drug addiction that began innocently enough in the back of a friend's car. What started as a momentary high gradually deadened my conscience, leading me down a path of escalating drug use, theft, broken relationships, and ultimately jail time. None of these consequences were visible when temptation first appeared—just like Eve couldn't see beyond the fruit that was "pleasant to the eyes."The enemy excels at perverting God's good gifts, hijacking our pleasure centers while concealing the destruction that follows. My story reached rock bottom on a jailhouse floor facing 12 years in prison, but that wasn't the end. God's redemptive power changed everything, offering freedom where addiction once chained me. If you're struggling with any form of addiction today, there's hope beyond the cycle of diminishing returns and increasing consequences. Don't run from God in shame—run to Him for salvation. He stands ready to transform your rock bottom into the foundation of a new beginning.Support the show

Send us a textGratitude transforms how we experience life's challenges. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 5:18, today's meditation explores the profound difference between being thankful FOR everything versus IN everything. This isn't semantic wordplay—it's a life-changing distinction that reshapes our entire approach to suffering.God's goodness remains constant even when our circumstances don't. Every blessing originates from Him (James 1:17), which means He stands as our solution, not our problem. While scripture acknowledges that troubles inevitably come, the promises of scripture remind us we're never alone in them. Greater is He within us than any force against us. The righteous face many afflictions, yet divine deliverance remains assured.The cross reveals Jesus' heart toward our suffering. He endured ultimate pain "for the joy set before Him"—and remarkably, that joy was us. This great exchange offers righteousness for our shame, peace for our turmoil, and hope for our despair. When darkness feels overwhelming, remember God isn't bringing death, curses, or trouble—He's your refuge from them. He stands as your ever-present help, your closest friend, your unshakable rock. The invitation remains simple yet profound: don't blame Him, claim Him. Run toward God rather than away when life gets difficult. In doing so, you'll discover the supernatural ability to give thanks in everything, reflecting the true will of God for your life.Support the show

Send us a textHave you ever caught yourself standing in the way of God's work rather than transparently revealing Christ to others? Today's powerful reflection draws from a familiar childhood phrase – "you make a better door than a window" – to challenge our approach to Christian living.Drawing from Colossians 1:27 and Galatians 2:20, we explore what it truly means for Christ to live in us as "the hope of glory." The journey from spiritual immaturity to maturity often follows a predictable path: we begin focused on ourselves – our blessings, our healing, our calling – before eventually realizing that authentic Christianity shifts the spotlight entirely off ourselves and onto Jesus.This episode delves into how our culture's obsession with material possessions and self-promotion creates spiritual "doors" that block others from seeing what truly matters. In contrast, when we embrace servanthood like Jesus and Paul modeled, we become windows through which others can glimpse the divine. Rather than being caught on camera doing something wrong, what if the watching world witnessed us serving, giving, and imitating Christ?The world desperately needs Jesus, not more Christian influencers drawing attention to themselves. Today's encouragement calls us to radical transparency – to move out of the way so Christ can be clearly seen through us. As we pour ourselves out in service to others following Christ's example, we fulfill our highest calling as believers. Join us in this challenging but essential journey of becoming less so He can become more.Support the show

Send us a textHave you ever caught yourself saying "If only..." and then describing what would make your life better? We all create these conditional scenarios, believing our happiness depends on changing circumstances. But what if the most powerful "if-then" statement already exists in scripture?Today we dive into Jesus's profound words from John 15:7: "If you abide in me and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you." Unlike our worldly conditional thinking, this divine promise offers something far more transformative – a relationship with Christ that changes everything.The Christian journey isn't about wishful thinking or desperately hoping circumstances might improve. It's about taking God at His word and standing firmly on His promises regardless of how things appear. When we stop merely wishing and start speaking God's Word, when we cease hoping and start believing with confidence, transformation follows.God hasn't left us to figure life out alone. He's provided clear direction through scripture and invites us into an abiding relationship where our desires align with His heart. This process unfolds over time as we consistently choose to remain in Christ and let His words take root within us.Ready to exchange your conditional scenarios for God's powerful promises? Join us as we discover what happens when we truly abide in Jesus and let His words abide in us. Remember, if God is for you, who can be against you?
