I'm probably late to the party and everyone else has had this revelation years before me! But I did come to recognize this truth and was truly overwhelmed by it. God draws others in, He's working in our hearts to do specific tasks, He's simultaneously doing the same thing in the heart of someone else. He owns the cattle on a thousand hills, He's pr…

In this episode we will dive into the "personality test" called the Enneagram. We discuss what the Enneagram is and some origin information, as well as why this tool is problematic for the church. The attraction is real. The results are real. But is it really from God? Is the Bible sufficient or do we need an outside tool to help us?…

This episode could also be labeled hot topics!! The Asbury Revival was such a beautiful outpouring of the Spirit but it was highly questioned by the public and even other Christians.

It's common for us to barely be able to scratch the surface of a topic and this episode is no exception! We could have talked about this for 30 more minutes and discussed a Part 2. But in the end, we felt like we covered the major points that needed to be addressed. We fight our flesh and we fight the enemy! This episode is familiar territory to mo…

This week we look back at this cultural movement and see where we are globally on this issue. We spend a little time looking at the big picture to see where we are nationally and worldwide. It is bittersweet to see that people are beginning to see the long-term effects of surgeries and drugs that are so life-altering. If you have time, listen to th…

Satan hates God and he hates God's creation! Look at Psalms 8:4-9. A great point made by Kayla is that Satan hates all humanity. Genesis 1:27 tells us that we are made in God's image and therefore it follows how much Satan hates us because he is jealous. He is the enemy of our soul. BUT GOD!!! WE don't have to fear. We are fully equipped, and God h…

This one is complex and I'll be honest, we are still reading, listening to wise pastors, and studying to navigate this issue. We begin a talk on this today.

We show why these thou…
