How is your work life balance?  Are you where you thought you’d be in your career?  What do I do if I’m just starting out in my career?  I’m at the twilight of my career-what do I have to offer?  This podcast answers all these questions and mor
The beginning of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount start with the beatitudes-the “Blessed are the…” and when we read that blessed are the meek, and blessed are those that mourn it’s easy to wonder if this really applies to us.  I don’t feel meek, and
If you’ve read through the Bible you’ve inevitably come across passages where God wants to be the loving husband to His people.  God uses words like faithful, jealous, committed, loving and even calls the church the Bride of Christ.  These term

Can you imagine living WITHOUT anxiety?  It seems impossible, it might be impossible, but it doesn’t have to be completely debilitating.  There is another way to live that brings peace, the peace of God, into the midst of our fears and anxietie
In one U.S. County, $500,000,000 (that’s a half-BILLION dollars) is spent on a single budget line item.  It’s a subject on most politicians' political platform.  It’s a subject that people talk about and almost universally acknowledge as a chal

Blue Lives Matter, defund the Police, don’t change a thing, re-work the police force-it’s broken.  There are so many sides to the police debate and from the outside looking in, it hardly seems like there’s a good solution, or is a solution even
“Call my lawyer.”  It’s a great line in a crime drama, but most people don’t have a lawyer on speed-dial.  In fact, the moment we step into the legal world, it gets confusing AND expensive.  For many people in the U.S. the legal system is impos
Let’s shed some light on humility.  It’s one of those Christian attributes that we like to put right next to patience or long-suffering.  We know it’s good for us, just like it’s good for us to have veggies with dinner.  If I have to, I will. 
Did you know the words justice and righteousness go hand in hand in the Bible?  We often think they’re two separate subjects, but they are deeply intertwined.  Righteousness can seem so behavioral, and justice so activist but they're significan
Community seems harder and harder to come by.  We’re always around people, but often we don’t feel like we belong.  People just don’t get us, they’re not actually our people and we don’t know what to do to build lasting healthy relationships. 
Life is a long and winding road.  It’s interesting how God takes our experiences, His refinement and opportunities to get us to the place He wants us.  It often isn’t the path we’d choose, but it’s the path that transforms us into exactly who G
Show up as your best self.  Be all you can be.  Live your best life.  All great sayings, but sometimes that’s not attainable, we can’t be everywhere all at once, and we don’t always have the perfect words for the situation.  Truth is, sometimes
Do you feel disconnected in your own community?  Are your children meeting students from different cultures and ethnicities in their classrooms?  Have you ever unknowingly offended somebody from a different background?  There are tools and skil
Humans tend to move into their tribes.  Their political, ethnic, ideological, sports teams tribes and so many more.  It’s easy and safe to be with people that think like you, look like you, talk like you and live like you.  This attitude contri
Joy can be illusive, but when we’re experiencing it-there’s nothing better.  Joy is more than happy, which can be circumstantial.  Joy is communal, joy is relational, joy gets us through the hard times, and we’re filled with joy in the great ti
Sometimes we make it harder than it needs to be, Pastor and Author Dr. Derwin Gray joins the podcast to discuss building an ethnically diverse church, and how crossing societies divides can be pretty straight forward. The U.S. Church remains o

Remember days on the playground being bullied by somebody that should be your friend?... was it just me? Life is constantly throwing opportunities to be offended, or to overcome offense. The more we ask questions, and learn about people overcom
