When we talk about making big life decisions and how hard it can be to step out in faith with confidence, inevitably the word obedience comes up. Living out the life God has purposed for us is made up of a million tiny steps of obedience… but what does that really mean? We’re diving into the freedom of hearing, trusting, and surrendering. I tell a story of a moment that changed my life in a tiny village in Kenya, and what God taught me about obedience. He cares. About every tiny moment and decis...

Today we are exploring the power of your "yes" and your "no". Often times, I find myself in a conversation with college students who are feeling stretched thin and are coming to terms with how hard it is for them to say no and create boundaries. This causes the process of making big life decisions more difficult and overwhelming than it needs to be. We can learn how to make decisions from a place of conviction, not culture or habit.

Praying about our “calling” or “purpose” can be powerful, but often times we are missing out better questions we could be asking. While we believe in praying specific prayers, sometimes those prayers can come from a place of claiming God’s simple call on our lives is not BIG ENOUGH. Love God, love people- it’s not a small calling. Today, Iesha tells a story of a time in her life where God answered her questions of purpose in a way that left her wrestling and wanting more , only to come to the re...

When you think of the word waiting, do you think of a doctor’s office waiting room? Perhaps a long line at the grocery store? What if you saw waiting as those few seconds before a race? A runner is focused, in an active position, ready… waiting for the signal to GO. Today we’re talking about waiting. Whether it’s a day or a season, often times the last few semesters of college feel like you’re waiting for your future to start. If that’s the case, you might be missing out on something really impo...
