A definition for “decide” is to cut off and separate. You can make that cut and separation for your past. Ask God for His help as you leave the past behind and forge forward with His Grace, Strength, and Mercy.

Your work performance doesn't define your worth in God's eyes. If you're feeling inadequate today, take a moment to reflect on the unconditional love and grace that God offers. You are valued and loved, no matter your output.

Been gone a while on this account. Short version: my friend and writing partner I'd rather be a buffalo passed away earlier this month. He'd been fighting cancer, but this was an unexpected death. Picking up the pieces of our project. Please keep Doug's family and friends in prayer.

Released the first of 6 episodes I recorded with my friend and writing partner before he passed away earlier this month. I’ve been experiencing some peace in editing them as I move forward with releasing the book we wrote. m.youtube.com/watch?v=U85Qyt…

The sheep’s defense mechanism is to cry out for help, so the shepherd can run to its aide. When we pray, we are crying for Jesus to help us. Satan will do anything to get you to stop praying and crying for help. Resist. Pray. Ask for God’s help.

Take captive those thoughts that want to run around and through your head. (From Ep 38, Create an Iron Dome for Your Soul, Heart, and Mind)

I may be getting frustrated by someone else's poor decisions because it's magnifying an area of my life where I'm getting it wrong. Recognizing the plank in my own eye is a necessary step for soul, mind, and heart repair and refurbishment.

Someone may have defined you as “the villain” in their life. That’s on them. You don’t have to agree to their narrative. You’ve got to get back to God’s call for your life. Don’t waste your time and energy making them like you.

What are you holding onto so tight that you’re not allowing God to move into your life and create something more astounding than you ever could have dreamed up? Let it go. Invite Him in. He’ll make it so much better.

An over examined life is a life not lived.

You may be facing a problem in your life that looks like the rattiest, most tangled, dense knot you’ve ever encountered. There’s no untying this. It over. But that’s not true. God is asking you to take your time. Focus on the problem. Give it your full attention. Invite Him

Church is a hospital for the soul-sick and broken. You will also encounter other soul-sick people attending church who think they're fine. Don't let imperfect people keep you from experiencing God's love and healing in that special place of restoration.

Loneliness can make you feel like you're not enough. Remember, God created you for a purpose. You are loved, valued, and needed.

Even seasoned theologians struggle with silence and stillness in prayer. Be patient with yourself. Keep practicing. You will hear Him.

Prayer is an opportunity to deepen our relationship with God. When you make it a priority in your daily life, one day you'll realize... He's been transforming your heart every step of the way.
