Bound for Glory
As we're running this race called life, it's helpful to remember where we are headed. If we are in Christ and are running this race the way He wants us to then we are bound for glory! In the midst of our daily trials and tribulations, though, we quickly understand...
Episode 91-Run the Race
One big obstacle our enemy throws in our way is condemnation. He makes us feel condemned or ashamed, guilty, fearful, unworthy, forgotten, useless, good-for-nothing. God, though, tells us in no uncertain terms that we are not condemned.
What God Wants for Us
More than anything, what God wants for us is to succeed. He has a destiny for each of us. In order to fulfill the purpose He has for us, we have to run the race He has set out for us. We have to follow Him. Most of us have no idea what that entails and others are far...
Episode 90-The Conundrum
Like any problem or mystery, I want the conundrum to be solved in 30 minutes like a good tv show. I don’t want to be left hanging to find out how things are solved for a week! Good or bad, I want it brought to end right now! However, for years I had no idea how to solve this issue that kept turning over and over in my mind.

We are in a war. We may not realize it as we walk through our daily lives but we are. Romans 5:17-6:23 talks about this as a war between the power of sin and the greater power of God’s wonderful grace.
Where Would We Be Without Grace?
We sing about. We talk about it nonchalantly. We call it great and amazing, but have we really stopped to think about where we would be without the grace of God? It’s God’s grace that transferred us from a sure and certain death to life. However, it’s not just a...
Episode 88-Patient Endurance
As I was reading Romans 5 this week, I realized that as Christians there is one of these virtues we rarely talk about. That might be because along the way someone somewhere told us to never pray for patience because if we do something difficult will happen that will teach us the hard way how to be patient. How to endure.
What If I Don’t Endure?
For most of my life, I have avoided anything that would cause me pain, suffering, difficulty, trouble or hardship. Who willingly wants those things in their life? I’ve also heard over and over again not to pray for patience because then something bad will happen to...
Episode 87-This Thing Called Faith
Faith is foundational on our Spirit-Led Transformation journeys. Without it, we have no transformation. Without it we cannot be Spirit-led. So what just what is faith and how do we know if we are really living our lives based on faith?
