We had the privilege of talking with The Ohio State University college students about this question: "In light of the world that we live in today, what brings you HOPE?" We got a few different responses, but we were always able to share the hope of the Gospel of Jesus with each student. What brings you hope? Is your hope in anything other than Jesus? I believe that Jesus is the only hope that is rock solid and transcendent through any trial of life and into eternity.

Do you struggle with the temptation to be anxious or worried? Me too! Stats are at an all time high in our society to worry, even though we have more food and better shelter/amenities than in human history. Why is this? Jesus has some things to say about this, and I hope you read below and listen in:

Matthew 6:25-34
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? 28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Cody Balch sits down with author and mentor, Michael Perez, to discuss the often separated topics of "faith" and "finances". Are they meant to stay separated? If not separated, then how should they look when brought together, and what is the impact of connecting them back together in a biblical way? All this and more is sure to bless you, so be sure to listen in and share this conversation out with others who you know!

As humans, we love to gain self confidence and even boast in our achievements, merits, and résumé. The apostle Paul reminds us that, unfortunately, our human/earthly résumé is as good as garbage when it comes to its value or ability to earn us eternal life...in fact, many of those things that we boast in are the very things that compete to keep our hearts from fully surrendering to the Lord. Listen in to this teaching/passage with an open, humble, and reflective heart.

Do you want to have a thriving marriage now, or for those of you who aren't married, do you want a thriving marriage in your future marriage? There is only one way to have a thriving marriage, and that is by living out God's design for marriage found in Ephesians 5:21-33. Sacrificial love, respect, and submission are key, and they heart postures are all found and perfectly modeled in the life of Jesus.

2 imperfect people do not make a perfect marriage, but Cody and Micah Balch both believe that you can still experience a radiant and thriving marriage in Christ. Be sure to listen closely and then share this out with those who know.
