S1E10: How Are You Preparing for the Arrival of Your King?

How are you preparing for the arrival of your King? Ultimately, this is the moment that will reveal whether or not you have been living your life on purpose. It’s the day your life’s work will speak for itself whether it has prepared you for this moment, or not. It’s the finish line for the end of a race you either ran well, or not; the capstone of a life that had an eternal significance in the lives of others and brought glory to God, or not. Christmas is that time of year when people all over ...

S1E9: Who Is Covering Your Life in PRAYER Today?

Who is covering your life in PRAYER today? Who has your back? When you find yourself in the middle of a fierce battle, who can you call and truly count on to be there for you? When you or someone you love is under attack it can feel like the devil is working overtime. Sometimes the enemy loves to make false accusations and condemn us for all the world to see. It hurts even more when the enemy uses things we know we have done wrong to tear us down and undermine any hope we have of making things r...

S1E8: Why is the Expressing of Thanksgiving Good for the Soul?

Why is the expressing of Thanksgiving good for the soul? Like most people, in this past year you’ve probably had a number of both good days and bad days. There were probably days filled with people, events and things you’re thankful for, and other days, not so much. Over time, all these memorable and not so memorable moments can weigh you down like a backpack overstuffed with camping gear, supplies, equipment and other paraphernalia you’re probably never ever going to need or use. God knows we c...

S1E7: Is There Something MORE to be Found in Your Place of REFUGE?

Is there something MORE to be found in your place of REFUGE? A refuge is a place where one feels safe, secure and sheltered from pursuit, danger or trouble. It can also be found outside while enjoying the peace and serenity of God’s creation or an inward place of solitude and silence. Wherever it may be, a healthy place of refuge should provide a space for self-care, rejuvenation and for re-centering our lives. Finding a place of refuge would have been a priority for Ruth and Naomi in their time...

S1E6: What is the Difference between TRUSTING God and DEVOTING Your Life to Him?

What is the difference between TRUSTING God and DEVOTING your life to Him? This is a picture I took from the top of an ancient stone fortress, standing tall on a rocky mesa called Masada in the southern Judean Desert. It’s an impressive sight carved out and built upon cliffs made up of chalk, dolomite and marl strata about 1,300 feet (400 meters) above the Dead Sea. With the mountains of Moab in the background, this desert climate and the surrounding area is virtually uninhabited and undeveloped...

S1E5: Did You Know YOU CAN Do Things You Never Thought Possible?

6-28-24: UPDATED & RE-RECORDED for better sound quality and a better podcast experience! We often get discouraged when we are trying to make our way through life in our own strength and power. Our needs and dreams frequently present challenges and obstacles that need to be overcome in order to move forward. The problem is our strength and energy levels have limitations. Our mental and emotional resolve, our will power, can only last for so long and take us so far before we find ourselves run...

S1E4: How Is Experiencing a PEACE from God that Surpasses All Understanding Made Possible?

6-11-24: UPDATED & RE-RECORDED for better sound quality and a better podcast experience! God doesn’t call us to worry. However, when we do find ourselves in a place of worry, or even despair, it’s here where God often reveals Himself to call us out, and lead us to a place of peace that surpasses all understanding. It’s a peace the world cannot give. You can circumnavigate the globe, many times over searching for it, with all its pleasures and passions. But ultimately, there is nothing this w...

S1E3: How Do You Overcome an Overburdened Life?

6-9-24: UPDATED & RE-RECORDED for better sound quality and a better podcast experience! Do you ever get tired and weary because the load you’re carrying is just so heavy? How do you overcome an overburdened life? There are some things in life you were never meant to carry alone! I was in Cuba when I took this picture of a man and his team of oxen. We were looking at a church building that had been severely damaged after a major hurricane had hit the country. When I saw this pair of oxen comi...

S1E2: What Would It Be Like to Receive The Gift of MIRACULOUS CLARITY?

5-29-24: UPDATED & RE-RECORDED for better sound quality and a better podcast experience! What would it be like for you to receive MORE than a vision for your life, but the gift of MIRACULOUS CLARITY? Jesus’ disciples assumed someone must have sinned, for this man to be born blind, either him or his parents. However, Jesus corrected their wrong assumptions by revealing to them that neither the blind man nor his parents sinned. But rather, there was a greater purpose at stake here. This is DAY...

S1E1: WHAT Has God Said to You about WHERE He is Going to be Today?

5-25-24: UPDATED & RE-RECORDED for better sound quality and a better podcast experience! WHAT has God said to you about WHERE He is going to be today? Just showing up and being in the place where God says He is going to be is huge! Moses had a BIG problem on his hands when the Israelites found themselves in the wilderness without water. Moses was the one God called to lead them out of Egypt through the Red Sea and into a wilderness where water was scarce. Without water, the people were wonde...
