Just Do Today: Ruth Chapter 2

Road Blocks are not Road Stops

I had a God idea for a creative project and ran into problem after problem. Typos, technical issues, music licensing blocks, clips that wouldn't cooperate. My first thought wasn't that I was on the right track. It was that maybe I heard God wrong. But then I remembered something: resistance shows up whenever you move toward a higher version of yourself. And the more a calling matters to your soul's growth, the more resistance you will feel pursuing it. In This Episode: * Resistance is spiritual warfare, not a sign that you took a wrong turn, and it shows up looking like fear, procrastination, self-doubt, rationalizing, sickness, or busyness to distract you from what matters * Look at Nehemiah rebuilding the wall: enemies mocked him, plotted against him, made him build with one hand on the work and one hand ready for battle, but he stayed focused anyway * You don't have to wait for all the resistance to disappear before you keep going. You are allowed to keep building while you're still fighting against it * The more a calling matters to your soul's growth, the more resistance you will feel trying to pursue it. Often that intensity is proof of how much it matters Connect with us!

Start where you are: Two questions that can bring blessings to others

This past week our youth group went out on a mission night with just one assignment: ask the Holy Spirit to show you who Jesus would want you to see. One hour. Four groups of kids. A lot of different lives touched. And I realized something that I want to share with you: it doesn't take a mission trip or a big plan. It just takes a willingness to ask God who He wants you to see today, and then actually move toward that person. In This Episode: * The difference between noticing a need that crosses your path and going out on purpose to be sensitive to what the Holy Spirit prompts you to do with whoever He puts in front of you * Two simple questions you can ask anyone, anywhere: "Is there anything I can pray for you?" and "How can I help you?" These open doors that small talk never will * Physical and spiritual needs go hand in hand, just like Jesus did when He fed people and taught them, healed them and explained who was doing the healing * You don't need money, a group of four, or a master plan. You just need to stop thinking about your own list for a moment and ask God whose name is on His list today Connect with us!

Closed Doors Are Just Redirects with Denise Albright

Denise Albright was a doodler who became a professional illustrator, then a planner designer whose product ended up in a warehouse collecting dust. Instead of giving up, she bought the inventory, sold 10,000 of them in six weeks, and eventually launched her own company. Today, Class Keeper has helped over a million families preserve their kids' childhood memories without drowning in paper chaos. Her story is about closed doors being redirected opportunities and the power of taking the next step without needing to see the whole staircase. In This Episode: * How a warehouse full of unsold planners destined for the furnace became the turning point that taught Denise she could figure it out, whatever it takes * The real origin of Class Keeper: solving her own mom problem of wanting to capture memories without overwhelming herself with crafts, bins, and impossible systems * Why closed doors aren't failures, they're redirects, and the difference between the plans you make and the purpose that unfolds when you stay open to pivoting * Finding hope by looking backward at how you've gotten through every hard thing so far, and trusting that a couple of bad chapters doesn't make for a bad story Class Keeper: https://app.referralhero.com/MF9ed5848fe4/universal_link?mwr=141a5402 [https://app.referralhero.com/MF9ed5848fe4/universal_link?mwr=141a5402] Connect with us!

Just Hold On, God is Working: Ruth Chapter 4

Have you ever looked at your life and thought, this is too far gone? Maybe it's a relationship that's crumbled beyond repair, a mistake you keep replaying, or a season so dark that hope feels like something other people have. We're wrapping up Ruth today with the story of ultimate restoration, and I want to tell you something: God specializes in broken things. He doesn't work around your story. He works through it.
