Why We Avoid Prayer
Most disciples of Jesus believe in prayer but quietly avoid it. In this episode, we explore why prayer feels distracting, awkward, or boring and why the issue is often not our faith, but our method.

Bible Consistency Over Intensity
Scripture meditation produces real fruit, but only when it becomes a sustainable habit. In this episode, we explore what the Word actually does in a believer’s life and how to structure Scripture intake so you do not quit when motivation fades.
Plan the Week Well
Sunday reveals what matters, but Monday determines whether it will be addressed. Thoughtful planning turns Sunday insight into intentional care instead of a reactive, rushed week.
How to Stand When Tempted
Luke 4:1-13 – Jesus resisted the enemy with God’s Word. Because He stood firm in our place, we can stand strong by rooting ourselves in Scripture before the battle begins.
Now Available
A practical guide to help students move beyond belief and into a growing relationship with Jesus. This resource offers a personalized discipleship plan built around six areas of intentional growth. It’s clear enough to start now, flexible enough to fit where you are.
Orientation
Reading the Bible as one unified story brings clarity where there was confusion and purpose where there was frustration. When God’s redemptive plan comes into focus, Scripture stops feeling scattered and starts shaping how we read, believe, and live.
God’s Prioritized Habit for Your Life
Fatigue, distraction, and inconsistency quietly shape us more than we realize. In this episode, we explore Joshua 1:8 and why Scripture meditation is essential for everyday faithfulness, ongoing endurance, and a meaningful life.
Hero
The Bible was never meant to place us at the center of the story. Reading Scripture rightly means recognizing God as the true hero and seeing every page point to what He has done, not what we hope to do.
What God Means by Meditation
Many Christians read the Bible regularly but still feel unchanged by it. In this episode, we explore what Scripture actually means by meditation and why slowing down with God’s Word is the difference between information and transformation.
Ministry Off the Platform
Sunday ministry is not sustained by polished content but by leaders who are present with the people they are called to shepherd. If we want people to gather, then those who lead must be part of the gathering, not protected from it.
Turn Now, Not Later
Luke 3:1-20 – John the Baptist boldly called people to immediate repentance. We must turn to Jesus today because we are unsure how much longer His patience will be.
Unity
When we read the Bible in fragments, we gain familiar verses but lose the coherence of God’s unfolding work. This article shows how a piecemeal approach to Scripture weakens understanding, thins meaning, and keeps us from seeing how every part fits into the one story God is telling.

Why Reading Scripture Never Becomes a Habit
Many Christians believe the Bible matters, yet struggle to make it a consistent part of daily life. In this episode, we explore the quiet, reasonable resistance that keeps Scripture from becoming a habit and why missing a day does not mean it is time to quit.
Before Sunday’s Doors Open
Ministry does not begin when the service starts; it begins with the quiet choices made long before anyone arrives. If a leader prepares the content but neglects the soul, Sunday may be busy, but it will not be successful.
Growth Takes a Lifetime
Luke 2:39-52 – As Jesus matured in wisdom and stature, He amazed those around Him. Spiritual growth takes a lifetime, reminding us that none of us has fully arrived yet.
Story
The Bible is often read in pieces, but it was written as one story. Tracing the singular story of Scripture from creation to commission reveals how every page points to Jesus Christ.
Evaluate How You Do It
Every year, people make resolutions. We make promises to do more, to try harder, to be better. But most resolutions fade by February because the problem isn’t what we’re doing; it’s how we’re doing it. Lasting change doesn’t start with new commitments but with honest evaluations.
Hermeneutics (Course Overview)
God did not give His Word so His people would remain confused or dependent on others to understand it. He gave Scripture to be read, understood, trusted, and obeyed. Hermeneutics provides a clear path forward, one that replaces fear with confidence and confusion with clarity.
Self-Control When No One’s Watching
We live in a world that says, “Do what feels right.” But the Holy Spirit gives us the strength to say “no” to what pulls us away from God and “yes” to what draws us closer.
