So many of us go about our days doing our very best and giving it all we’ve got as we pursue our goals, but instead of feeling content and satisfied, we find ourselves full of stress and anxiety. We may think it’s because we’re busy and have responsibilities - and that’s just the way life is. But the truth is it doesn’t actually have to be that way! Working hard and being responsible is good, yes, but striving to do it all, have it all, and take care of it all while depending solely on our own strength is exhausting. So how can we lead a full life, pursue our purpose and passions, and live our days with peace? It begins with understanding that no matter how strong, gifted, or talented we may be, none of us are designed to do what only God can do. The key is learning to lean into Jesus, to rest in his strength on the inside of us, and to trust him with what only he can do. This episode will empower you to pursue your purpose with peace by letting go of the desire to control everything and learning what it means to rest in the never-ending goodness of God.

How sad would it be to get to the end of our days and realize that we never fully lived? To look back and realize that we had settled for living life on the sidelines. That we allowed fear or shame or self doubt or disappointment or simple procrastination to stand between us and our destiny? The unfortunate reality is that too many of us settle for feeling stuck instead of asking God to help us get unstuck and committing to moving forward - no matter how much hard work it takes. We sacrifice our destinies on the altar of tomorrow. The good news is - through a relationship with Jesus Christ you can get back to embracing the abundant, passionate, purpose-driven life that you were meant for - today. This episode will empower you to rise up, to tear down the attitudes and habits that are holding you back, and to live an abundant joy-filled life of purpose.

At some point in our lives almost every single one of us has had a desire to change something in the world around us. Whatever change you have dreamed of being a part of, I have good news for you - God created you to do just that. But that change must start within first. In order to lead, we must learn how to follow. In order to teach, we must first learn the skills ourselves. Walking in our purpose to be a change-agent will require obedience, hard work, and discipline. It will be a journey of learning to identify and tear down idols, of learning to live and grow in a local church community, and of connecting with God daily through time in his Word. This episode will empower you to develop the courage and discipline to follow where God leads so you can bring about change in the world for his glory.

News story after news story is full of pain and heartache. How do you respond? Is it with fear, doubt, and negativity? Or do you carry the hope, joy, and peace of Jesus into that darkness? As believers, you and I have the power of Jesus on the inside of us which means we can be conduits of his supernatural hope, supernatural joy, and supernatural peace in a dark and hurting world. And when we do that, we bring a little bit of heaven here to earth. This episode will empower you to change the world by choosing to reflect the hope of Jesus rather than the fear of the world to everyone you meet.

So many of us these days are worn out and stressed out because we are striving to obtain the life God has already promised to give us. But peace, joy, belonging, freedom, and impact aren’t earned by striving; they are received by resting. It sounds counterintuitive in today’s world—because it is. Work is good, but laboring solely in our own strength and wisdom to try to make good decisions, to get ahead, to love others, or just to live everyday life, is a path that will eventually leave us feeling overwhelmed, defeated, and exhausted. But there is good news: You can enjoy rest and move forward in your purpose, passion, and destiny at the same time. This episode will empower you to rest in God’s promises and in his strength working through you so that you can fulfill your purpose while living a life full of peace and joy.

Here’s a serious question to ask yourself that will change everything about how you live: what have I got to lose? So many of us live far beneath our potential because we settle for living contained, comfortable lives that are free of risk but are also so much smaller than the abundant life God has planned for us. But each of us has the ability to decide to get up - and now is the time. Get up and walk away from fear. Get up and walk away from disappointment. Get up and walk away from doubt. Get up and walk away from a past mistake. Get up and walk toward faith, toward hope, toward joy, toward taking risks because you know that with God on your side, you’ve got nothing to lose. When we make the decision to get up, God promises to turn up. This episode will empower you to make the decision to get up, to stop holding yourself back, so that you can experience the full, uncontained, adventurous life God has in store for you.

What would you be willing to leave behind in order to go forward into a future of purpose, meaning, potential, and passion—a life that holds everything that God has for you? Maybe it’s letting go of a job you’ve long since outgrown or an unhealthy “friendship” you’ve had since childhood. Or perhaps it is simply the comfortable routines you’ve settled into over the years, or some bad habits you’ve thought about quitting too many times. Whatever it is you might need to leave behind, living with a heart that’s torn between what we had in the past and where we long to go in our future leads only to one place—stuck right where we are. This episode will empower you to identify the parts of your past that are holding you back and stir up the courage to let go and the passion to go farther than you’ve ever gone before—do what you’ve never done and go where you’ve never been.

You have what it takes to change the world. Yes, seriously. Your power and authority come from God and, in fact, this is what he created his followers to do. And here’s how: you simply begin by changing the world around you every day - at home, at work, at school, and in your community. We can transform any situation wherever we go. If we go where there’s an atmosphere of hate, we can bring a spirit of love. Where there is despair and hopelessness, we can give joy and hope. Where there is anger, we offer kindness, compassion, and calm. We extinguish darkness in the world by bringing the light of Jesus into it. This takes courage, and you’ll have to be prepared to go against the grain in our society, but in God’s hands a single person on a mission to uplift attitudes and mindsets for God’s glory can be the catalyst for revival for an entire generation. It only takes one willing person. This episode will empower you to embrace the call of God to be a change-maker in your world by being a conduit of his hope, love, peace, and joy in everything you do.

Are you living a life rooted in victory, or are you living a life striving for victory? If you are a follower of Jesus, victory has already been won for you. Victory over your past hurt, over your brokenness, over every setback and hurdle that may still be to come. As a child of God, you do not have to strive for victory - you can walk confidently in freedom. The victory that Jesus won for you lives on the inside of you by the power of his Spirit. Living a life rooted in victory may be counter-cultural, but that’s exactly why it’s so important. It is one opportunity we have to bring heaven to earth, to bring God’s hope to hopeless situations, his light to the darkness. This episode will empower you to be a mighty witness for the Kingdom of God by walking in freedom and victory, even in the face of hurt, disappointment, and setbacks.

If we don’t learn to rest, we will burn out. We will run out of motivation, willpower, ambition, and strength to just keep trying a little harder. But here’s the good news - God never burns out. He is capable enough and strong enough to carry our burdens for us, to fill us with his strength, to drop the solutions we’re looking for into our minds, and to renew our passion when we think it’s lost. All we have to do is go to him, place our burdens and worries into his more than capable hands, and learn to rest in his provision and direction. When we run to him, God will equip us with exactly what we need to keep running our race, even when it’s hard, but if we try to do it all on our own, we will run ourselves into exhaustion. This episode will empower you to discover a habit of rest that recharges your soul, refreshes your spirit, and renews your passion so you can keep moving forward full of peace and joy.
