Daily Rhythms (Sabbath) - #019

In this short episode, we're taking a moment to remember God's gift of Sabbath—a sacred invitation to pause, rest, and reconnect with Him. Sabbath was never meant to be another rule to follow or task to accomplish, but a rhythm of trust that reminds us we are human beings, not human doings. Join us for a brief encouragement to slow down, lay down your striving, and receive the rest and renewal God intended from the very beginning. Send Us Your Questions!

Daily Rhythms - #018

In this episode, we begin a new series on Daily Rhythms, exploring the simple yet powerful practices that help us stay connected to God in the midst of everyday life. From prayer and Scripture to Sabbath, gratitude, worship, rest, and community, we'll discuss how intentional rhythms create space for a deeper relationship with Jesus. These practices aren't about striving for perfection or adding more to your to-do list—they're about abiding in Christ and learning to recognize His presence throughout your day. Whether you're feeling spiritually dry, overwhelmed, or simply longing to grow closer to God, this episode will encourage you to slow down, refocus your heart, and cultivate rhythms that bring lasting peace, purpose, and intimacy with Him.

Identity Shift (Conquerors) - #017

In the final episode of our Identity series, we follow Paul's incredible journey from persecutor to apostle and discover what it means to live as more than conquerors through Christ. Through shipwrecks, beatings, imprisonment, and persecution, Paul never allowed his circumstances to define him. His identity was rooted in Christ alone. Join us as we explore how the same victory, purpose, and unshakable identity are available to every believer today.  Send Us Your Questions! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2592532/fan_mail/new]

Identity Shift (Redeemed) - #016

Peter's story is a powerful reminder that failure is never the end of our identity in Christ. In this episode, we follow Peter's journey from his calling to his denial, and ultimately to his redemption and restoration by Jesus. Discover how God's grace meets us in our weakest moments and how redemption becomes a defining part of who we are. Your mistakes may be a part of your story, but they don't get the final word—Jesus does.  Send Us Your Questions! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2592532/fan_mail/new]
