How are we to react? Join me as I take an honest inventory of how we as Christians are to respond to all the hate in this world. Do we choose hate in response, or is there another option?

43:10

Send us a text Join me in this honest comparison to spiritual disciplines and the struggle to keep it up. We can't do the routine for routine sake. But why do it at all? Do we desperately need Jesus the way we once did? How do we get back there? It's not a one solve fix all problem. Let's find our desperate places and choose Him over our vices and lesser gods. Give grace to yourself when you miss the mark, because you will ...time and time again. If you let that derail you, you'll fall further away from His sweet presence, trusting in yourself more, and beaten down by life's cycle of pile up. Let's wrestle with our desperation together.

Send us a text If you're anything like me, you struggle with Church. Maybe you have some church hurt from poor leadership, gossip, money grubbing, or the barrage of other ways sinful people mess up what God intended for good. I'm not here to tell you to join a church, but I am here to tell you not to do it alone. The local Church just happens to be the most convenient way to do that. So let's take a look in the Word and see what God desires our gathering to look like. Scripture: -Hebrews 10:24-25 -1 Corinthians 12:12, 14:23-26 Please follow, like, and share!

Join James as he shares some hurt, and hang-ups, but chooses to turn it back to The Lord. There is a power there that your heart desperately needs to feel complete.

48:41

Send us a text These 2 episodes were first called "what is spiritual warfare?" due to the nature of Satan's involvement. However, this one particularly speaks to the divisive nature of the Enemy. James digs into speaking life into each others differences. We must stop tearing down the church. We call out false gospel's, and speak truth to lies always, but we cannot deny the power of 1 Pet. 4:8, to love deeply the harder it gets. Therefore, spiritual warfare, and seeking unity among His people are very, very closely linked. We hope you enjoy it and feel encouraged.

Send us a text Join James as he dives into some practical and situational attacks from the Enemy, how to fight the lies, what the Bible says about it, and how to aim for unity over discord. This is a hard topic to cover succinctly because of how nuanced it is. Satan can take any opportunity to tell you that you don't matter. James talks about loneliness and isolation, sex, age, gifting, and various other moments that temptation and lies can seep in. Please check out Pt.2 as well for closure. Also, if you heard this already and it was cut off, make sure it is 44min. The first upload didn't have the back 10min before.

Join James as he takes a bold dive into the major dividers of Catholicism and Protestantism. If we're suppose to live a Jesus+ life, then let's be sure He's not enough!
