  • God's Blood Covenant - Part 2 - How One Man's Obedience Led to Mankind's Deliverance

    A single night changed everything. We revisit the Passover not as distant ritual but as a vivid picture of covenant—a people marked by the blood of a lamb, poised for freedom, and instructed to remember rescue with a meal eaten in haste. As we walk through Exodus 12, the instructions feel exacting for a reason: they anchor identity, obedience, and hope in a moment when dawn is still far off. That sign on the doorposts becomes the hinge between slavery and a future brimming with provision and purpose.

    From there, we follow the ripple effects of deliverance: Egypt’s release, the surprising gift of wealth, and the striking claim that there was not one feeble person among the tribes. These aren’t random details; they’re the language of covenant blessing—health for the journey, resources for a new life, and a shared story carried in body and memory. But the deeper question rises: Why such favor? To answer it, we step back to Abraham on Moriah, where tested faith led to a sworn promise—descendants, victory, and blessing for all nations. That oath becomes the backdrop for Passover and the Exodus, revealing a God who binds Himself to His word and keeps it.

    We connect that pattern forward to Jesus, the greater Lamb, whose sacrifice seals a new covenant and invites us into a life marked by trust. Faith here is not a soft feeling; it is courageous alignment with the promise—acting before proof arrives, shaping choices around God’s character rather than our fears. If you’re navigating grief, transition, or a crossroads, this story offers a map: remember what’s been promised, obey what you’ve been shown, and watch for deliverance that restores strength as well as freedom.

  • God's Blood Covenant Part 1 - How A Sacred Agreement Shapes Faith, Identity, And Everyday Life
    Jan 7 2026

    Questions? Comments? Text us!

    Blood as currency sounds unsettling at first, but it becomes a doorway into one of the most important ideas in faith: covenant. We open a fresh series by asking why blood has carried so much meaning across cultures and why Israel treated it as sacred, then connect that history to the promises God makes and keeps. Along the way, we unpack a gripping field story about Henry Morton Stanley trading his goat for a spear and gaining safe passage through a warlike tribe—a living picture of how covenant confers identity, access, and protection.

    From Eden’s first covering to Noah’s altar to the moment God “cuts” a covenant with Abram, each scene builds toward a larger truth: life belongs to God, and true promise is sealed by more than words. We trace how Abraham receives a new name, a new future, and a sign that marks belonging, all while learning that human faithfulness is fragile. Then we wrestle with Jesus’ startling claim in John 6 about eating his flesh and drinking his blood, a line that scandalized hearers steeped in Leviticus. Through the cross and resurrection, that hard saying resolves into a radical invitation—union with Christ that transforms nature, not just behavior.

    Expect clear takeaways and honest questions: What makes a promise unbreakable? How does covenant reshape our identity and our trust? Why does God’s faithfulness hold when ours falters? By the end, we point to the hope at the heart of the gospel: Jesus as deliverer, mediator, and life-giver who bridges the gap we cannot cross.

  • How To Move Forward When The Holidays Hurt
    Dec 21 2025

    Questions? Comments? Text us!

    When the world strings lights and cues the music, grief can feel even louder. We open a tender, unhurried space to talk about loss during the holidays and how faith, honest lament, and simple daily steps can begin to steady the heart. Drawing from raw personal stories—a daughter gone too soon, a father’s hard hospital goodbye, a mother’s final year—we name what hurts and why the ache lingers, while pointing to a God whose character is compassion, not condemnation. We explore a crucial reframing: God as healer rather than the author of our pain. Through scripture, we separate the destroyer’s work from the life Christ offers, which changes how we pray, hope, and receive comfort. From there, we get practical. Instead of living in the rearview mirror of regret and blame, we practice forward focus—small, measurable actions that rebuild capacity: a walk outside, ten pages read, a room tidied, a single conversation started. Nature and beauty become therapy for the soul; art, quiet, and open skies give grief room to breathe. Purpose and gratitude round out the path. Serving others channels sorrow into meaning, tuning our hearts to notice and respond to pain with compassion. Gratitude, practiced daily, lifts our eyes to gifts that remain without denying the loss. And yes, we make space for laughter—the kind that sneaks in and reminds us joy still visits. As the holidays approach, we share gentle ways to reengage with traditions when you’re ready and offer a simple prayer for those seeking a fresh start with God.

  • The Power of Speech - Part 3 - Words That Win Battles
    Dec 14 2025

    Questions? Comments? Text us!

    What if your words are not commentary but commands on a battlefield you can’t see? We dive into the power of speech in spiritual warfare and show how thought, language, and brain patterns work together to shape peace, courage, and daily resilience. Starting with a clear definition of spiritual warfare and a sober acknowledgment of dark forces, we shift the lens to God’s unmatched power and the authority believers carry through the Spirit who raised Jesus. Fear loses oxygen when we remember the Creator always outranks anything created.

    From there, we get practical with a framework you can use right away: thought → speech → pattern. You act as air traffic control for thousands of thoughts a day—some land, some don’t. We teach a three-step tactic to handle intrusive, accusatory, or despairing thoughts: identify the statement, locate the source by measuring it against Scripture, and eradicate it by speaking God’s Word or declaring the exact opposite of the lie. Jesus models this brilliantly in the wilderness by answering every temptation with “It is written,” refusing to argue, and shutting down the “if” meant to stir anxiety.

    We also unpack why silence is not neutral. Bank balances, symptoms, and odds all “talk,” and unanswered messages become adopted beliefs. Your words reach multiple audiences—God, your own heart, people around you, and unseen listeners. Demonic forces watch reactions; angels are sent to minister to heirs of salvation. Careless phrases of death and doom train the wrong team, while words of life align you with God’s promises and begin to repattern the brain. Keep answering as long as the lie speaks, and watch peace return faster as new neural grooves form.

  • The Power of Speech - Part 2 - How Intentional Speech Shapes Faith, Identity, And Healing
    Nov 26 2025

    Questions? Comments? Text us!

    Words don’t just describe our lives; they steer them. We dig into the power of intentional speech, drawing from Jesus’ example and the fig tree moment in Mark 11 to show how saying, believing, and receiving are linked in both spiritual formation and daily practice. If you’ve ever felt stuck in loops of complaint, fear, or self-criticism, this conversation gives you a clear path to trade unhelpful phrases for language that aligns with God’s promises and reprograms the brain toward hope-filled action.

    We break down why words matter biologically and spiritually, how the brain builds habits from repeated statements, and why “venting” often cements the very patterns we want to escape. With honesty about our limits, we look to Romans 7 to name the struggle and then move toward partnership with the Holy Spirit. You’ll learn a five-step process: express your desire to change, ask the Spirit to reveal troublesome speech, focus on specific Scriptures that renew your thinking, heed the inner check before speaking, and practice intentional, outcome-focused words that match your prayers.

    From finances to self-image to health, we offer concrete examples of the “great replacement” in action. Instead of rehearsing scarcity, we speak provision with wisdom. Instead of wearing old labels, we embrace our identity as saints made righteous in Christ. Instead of narrating sickness as destiny, we describe reality accurately while choosing words that invite healing, resilience, and disciplined care. It’s not denial; it’s alignment with truth that bears fruit over time.

  • The Power of Speech: Neuroscience, Scripture, And The Stakes Of What We Say
    Nov 10 2025

    Words don’t just describe reality; they direct it. We open a candid, practical exploration of how language rewires the brain, shapes identity, and sets the course of our lives—then set that discovery beside Scripture’s sweeping vision of the Word that frames creation and transforms hearts. From “And God said” in Genesis to the Word made flesh in John, we trace why speech is never neutral and why intentional, grace‑filled words matter in every moment.

    We dig into neuroplasticity and why repeated phrases become mental shortcuts, for good or ill. That science meets Jesus’ insight that the mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart, making every sentence a signal of what’s stored within. You’ll hear how subtle habits—sarcasm, labels, quiet blessings, honest lament—become a climate for your relationships, and how the Book of James warns that the tongue can guide like a rudder or scorch like a spark. Instead of shame, we offer a path: practices that season conversation with grace, anchor self‑talk in truth, and align our speech with love’s intent.

    Christ’s model sits at the center: speaking what the Father gives, answering temptation with Scripture, and using words to heal and guide. We share practical steps to pause before reacting, bless before critiquing, and choose candor without cruelty. We also address accountability for idle and careless words, and we close with an invitation to the most life‑changing confession—naming Jesus as Lord and welcoming renewal that reshapes the heart and the tongue.

  • Little by Little - Part Six - Faith, Made Plain
    Oct 19 2025

    Questions? Comments? Text us!

    What if the most solid thing in your life isn’t what you can touch, but the promise that made the world? We explore a simple, biblical path to understanding faith that cuts through opinion, mood, and hype. Starting with Hebrews 11:1, we break down faith as the substance of what we hope for and the evidence of what we can’t yet see, showing how God’s word offers a firmer foundation than shifting circumstances.

    We talk candidly about why faith matters to God and to us. Without faith it’s impossible to please him, not because he’s setting a trap, but because trust is the way we step into his kingdom’s reality. We connect this to everyday life: how faith steadies us in grief, how it reframes our choices, and how it frees us from the pressure to manufacture spiritual strength. Salvation by grace through faith becomes the model for everything else—receiving what God gives, not straining to earn what only he can provide.

    Then we get practical. You already have a measure of faith if you belong to Christ; the question is how to grow it. Romans 10:17 points to a simple rhythm: keep hearing God’s word, and then do it. We share clear steps to feed your faith with Scripture, align your actions with what you’ve heard, and watch trust deepen as obedience turns truth into lived experience. If you’re navigating loss, doubt, or a long season of waiting, this conversation offers a grounded way forward—less about trying harder, more about leaning into the Word that frames reality.

    If this encouraged you, follow the show, share it with someone who needs hope, and leave a review so others can find it. Have a question or a story to share about growing your faith? Send us a note—we’d love to hear it.

  • Little by Little - Part Five - God Has a Will—No, It’s Not Hidden Behind Three Doors
    Oct 9 2025

    Questions? Comments? Text us!

    Decisions can feel like fog—so many voices, so many choices, and no clear path forward. We take that tension head-on by reframing God’s will as something far more concrete than a riddle: think of Scripture as a testament that names your inheritance and sets your footing, and think of the Holy Spirit as a trusted friend who speaks into the moment with clarity and peace. From there, the next step stops feeling like a gamble and starts feeling like a guided walk.

    We start by unpacking two vital words: logos and rhema. Logos points to the written word of God and to Jesus as the Word made flesh—the steady, reliable foundation for every decision. Rhema speaks to timely, specific guidance—the Spirit’s nudge that aligns with Scripture and meets you in the present. You’ll hear why these two never contradict and how obedience to the general will sharpens your ability to recognize the specific word when it comes.

    Then we move through four core principles that make guidance practical. Salvation welcomes you into God’s family and identity; water baptism anchors your allegiance in public; the fullness of the Holy Spirit brings real-time wisdom, courage, and comfort; and daily fellowship through prayer, Scripture, and worship keeps your heart tuned. Along the way, we share how surrender transforms anxiety into trust, why waiting can be an act of faith, and how acknowledging God in every way leads to straight paths—without pretending life is simple.

    If you’re tired of pros-and-cons lists and wish the next step came with peace, this conversation is for you. Listen, share it with someone who needs clarity today, and if it helps you, subscribe, leave a review, and tell us where you’re seeking guidance right now.
