Thriving in Babylon Pt 3: Influencing Influencers

Thriving in Babylon Pt 2: When Culture Shifts

Three truths to help us stand strong when culture shifts. Culture is always trying to captivate God's people. How we respond will determine whether we stand for the things of  God or bow to the kings of this world. 

Thriving in Babylon Pt 1: Babylon Past, Present, and Future

Babylon may no longer be a nation, but it's still an attitude and spirit at work around the world. We discuss the history, motive, and mission of the Babylonian culture through time. 

Asking for a Friend Pt 4: Forgetting God

We always reach up for God when things aren't going our way and we need some extra strength and stability. What about when everything is going just as planned? That could be the time that we need to lean in the most to prevent getting caught up in our own strength. 

Asking for a Friend Pt 3: Why do Bad Things Happen?

We understand and can even support when bad things happen to bad people. How do we reconcile when bad things happen to good people? We have to remember that apart from God no one is good. 

Asking for a Friend Pt 2: A View of God

Why does the God of the Old Testament seem different than the God of the New Testament? He's not. He's the same. Passionately jealous for you. He's good and everything thing He does (even if it doesn't feel good) is for our good.  

Asking for a Friend Pt 1: How Do We View Church Leadership?

Can women lead and teach in the church? Can you drink alcohol and still serve/lead within the church? There's a simple answer...but then there is a better answer. 

Face to Face Pt 4: Daily Encounters

Our life needs more than HUGE AWE-INSPIRING encounters with God, we need daily encounters with Him through small moments and a commitment to disciplines. 

Face to Face Pt 3: Who He Says You Are

We see ourselves through our weaknesses. God sees the you, He can use.  Hear how God saw something in Gideon that he didn't see in himself. 

Face to Face Pt 2: Wrestling with God

God wants to change your name. Your past doesn't define you. Your failures don't define you. He defines you. Let's take a look at Jacob who became Israel...who became a nation.
