Marriage Won't Fix Your Porn Struggle

Todays topic is one that hits near and dear to my life and we are going to get real as we talk about porn. Too many of us think we need someone in our life (besides Christ) that can fix our sin issues. Well I am here to tell you it doesn't work that way! My desperate plea to each and everyone of you is to flee sin, repent and confess what it is you are living in. Whether that is porn or something else, the most important relationship is with Jesus!

What It Looks Like to Be Fully Devoted to Christ

I am so happy to be back in the saddle and here with you all!

Being A Christian - A Long-term Promise not a Short Term Decision

Nothing is more important for us as Christ followers than to understand and know the Lord and all that He has done! What is also important is walking in obedience to His Word and knowing that He has a plan. We often times get so caught up in the moment that we forget that as a Christian we are in a long term, battle plan oriented life! We can't go back and forth between our flesh and Jesus. It is one or the other.  Follow me on my socials IG - zachary_ward98 Youtube - Zachary Ward Patreon -...

Every day we all are faced with the same battle. Do we choose to live for Christ or do we Choose to live for Christ? It shouldn't be a hard decision yet it is!

Content In Singleness

This is a challenging subject to tackle and I am not just saying that because I am single, but I am saying it because it ties in with so many other topics as well. But I wanna ask each of you today are you truly content being single? If someone were to ask me that question, I would probably respond with, how long? The sad truth is, it shouldn't matter. We should be looking to pursue the Lord not someone else. Yet we do pursue the human above the creator. My hope through todays episode is to give...

Was Ferris Bueller Right About Life?

Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it! How true is this in your life? Better yet, how often do you miss the Lord working in your life because you are stuck in the current? As someone who was in the current and still fights the current, I hope to encourage each person that listens to this. Because if we try to do this alone we will always find ourselves stuck in the current.
