Rising 365

Episode Title: Love (Genesis 29) | Rising 365In this episode, we dive into Genesis 29 and explore what real love looks like—through the lens of dedication, commitment, and sacrifice. Jacob’s story reminds us that love isn’t just a feeling—it’s something we prove through what we’re willing to give, endure, and pursue.We also reflect on a deeper truth: even when others overlook us or make us feel unseen, God sees us fully. He is able—and willing—to do incredible things through our lives when we choose to trust Him.As we step into Holy Week, we unpack the ultimate picture of love found in Romans 5:8—God’s perfect demonstration of dedication through Jesus. This week is more than a tradition; it’s a powerful reminder of a love that pursued us first.Key Takeaway: Love is not just spoken—it’s shown. And no love has ever been shown greater than what God has done for us.If this message encouraged you, you can go deeper by grabbing a copy of the Rising 365 book.

RISING 365Trust Your GutGenesis 27The light isn’t always what it seems.Genesis 27 draws us into a story filled with tension, manipulation, and quiet betrayal—a father losing his sight, a mother carrying out a calculated plan, one son hesitating, and another receiving a blessing that wasn’t meant for him.But this isn’t just a story about deception. It’s a story about discernment.Isaac sensed something wasn’t right. “The voice is Jacob’s… but the hands are Esau’s.”He paused. He questioned. He felt it.And yet… he overrode that feeling.How often do we do the same?In this episode, we explore the subtle ways deception shows up—not just in others, but within ourselves. We talk about the danger of ignoring that inner warning when something doesn’t sit right, and how emotions, pressure, and familiarity can cloud our ability to discern truth.We also take an honest look at how God continues to work, even through messy and flawed decisions.This episode invites you to reflect on a deeper question: What is God trying to show me that I’m choosing to ignore?Because sometimes the voice sounds right… but something deeper is telling you—it’s not.Trust your gut. But more importantly—train it to recognize truth.If this episode encouraged you, don’t forget to like, share, and follow to help others find hope.

🎙️ Rising 365 — Don’t Ignore the WarningsGenesis 20In this episode of Rising 365, we walk through Genesis 20, a chapter that reminds us God often warns us before consequences arrive—but those warnings are easy to dismiss when fear, self-protection, or partial obedience take over.Abraham’s encounter with Abimelech exposes how even people of faith can repeat old patterns, rationalize half-truths, and place others at risk when they ignore God’s caution. Yet woven through the tension is a powerful truth: God intervenes, protects, and restores—even when His people falter.This teaching challenges us to ask:What warnings has God already given me that I’m choosing to overlook?How does fear distort obedience?What does it look like to respond humbly when God interrupts our plans?How can ignoring small warnings lead to larger spiritual damage?Genesis 20 invites us to slow down, listen carefully, and trust that God’s warnings are not punishments—but mercy.🔍 Key ThemesGod’s warnings as grace, not restrictionThe danger of repeating old sinsFear vs. faith in decision-makingGod’s faithfulness even when we failOwning our influence on others📖 Scripture FocusGenesis 20Supporting cross-themes from Genesis 12 & 16 (patterns repeated)God’s protective sovereignty over His promises🤝 How You Can Support Rising 365If this episode encouraged or challenged you, here are a few meaningful ways to support the ministry:🗣️ Invite Me to SpeakInvite me to teach or speak for your church, men’s group, youth group, school, retreat, or community gathering. 📩 Reach out and let’s talk about how Rising 365 can serve your group.📘 Get the Book Rising 365You can purchase Rising 365 anywhere books are sold online.

Happy Thanksgiving! 🍂Genesis 13 reminds us that sometimes separation is necessary in order to find and preserve peace. It also teaches that not everything that looks good is truly good for us—and if we’re not careful, those choices can become our downfall.

🎙️ Rising 365 | Episode Title: "Made in His Image"Genesis 9 reminds us of a truth that changes everything: God made us in His image. That’s not just a theological statement—it’s a declaration of worth, identity, and purpose.In a world that often tries to redefine value, this promise stands firm: You were created with intention. You reflect the Creator. And because of that, your life—and the lives of those around you—are sacred.The rainbow in Genesis 9 wasn’t just a beautiful moment in the sky. It was a covenant. A divine promise that God would provide everything we need. Not just physically—but emotionally, spiritually, relationally.But let’s be honest: there are days we feel like we’re drowning. Overwhelmed. Disconnected. That’s why thankfulness isn’t just a feeling—it’s a discipline. And one way we show our gratitude is by developing positive coping skills that anchor us when the waters rise.So today on Rising 365, we’re talking about how to cherish the image of God in ourselves and others. How to lean into His promises. And how to build habits that help us rise—not just once, but every single day.Because you weren’t made to sink. You were Made in His Image.

In this episode, we reflect on the powerful moment in Genesis 7 when Noah is described as righteous before God—a man chosen to carry the weight of humanity’s survival. Imagine the depth of that compliment: to be seen by God as trustworthy enough to preserve life itself. It’s a humbling reminder that righteousness isn’t just about personal integrity—it’s about being positioned for divine purpose.But Genesis 7 also carries a sobering truth. While Noah responded to God’s warning, many did not. The flood wasn’t just a natural disaster—it was the consequence of ignoring God’s voice. Today, we ask: Are we listening? Are we living in a way that invites God’s favor and protection?Join us as we explore what it means to be “seen” by God, and how obedience can shape the future—for ourselves and for generations to come.To support this Rising 365 you can purchase the book here, https://www.amazon.com/Rising-365-Others-Live-Meet/dp/B0F5GGBWPTYou can also book me as a speaker for any over your events.

Knowing your name's meaning can help you see if you are living up to that. When you put these meanings together, some interpret the sequence as saying something like, “Man (is) appointed mortal sorrow; the Blessed God shall come down, teaching that His death shall bring the despairing comfort (or rest).” This poetic interpretation is seen by some as a hint of the gospel message hidden within the Old Testament text.Genesis 6: Are you ready to do the crazy thingThings in our lives will eventually come to it’s judgment day.You can be one of the doomed or saved side of the judgment.

How shall we console ourselves?The nihilistic effect: with the death of God came the death of purpose, meaning, and hope. A common effect of a life without God.In Maps of Meaning the great lie is that meaning does not exist, or that it is not important. When meaning is denied, hatred for life and the wish for its destruction inevitably rules. Once purpose and meaning are erased from life, hopelessness, despair, and depression become the constant companions. Where does hope come from? Romans 15:13"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peaceMatthew 7:7 “Ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and the door[a] will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.What do you have if you don’t believe in God of the Bible and live for Him?What do you have if you do believe in God of the Christian Bible, Jesus? Love, Hope, Forgiveness, Freedom, Peace that Passes Understanding, Joy, and Purpose. So, what have you done with God? Maybe give God a chance?Thank you for tuning in.
