Freedom from the Rut
At some point, we all feel stuck in our faith. However, we can’t fully follow Jesus and love this world. Instead, we may need to sacrifice what keeps us stuck so we can obediently step into God’s calling for our lives.

When It Doesn’t Make Sense
We’ve all experienced a situation or circumstance where we desperately needed God to move. What if our greatest need becomes a gift when it drives us to depend on God? With worship and trust, we can shift our perspectives from our problems to God’s presence and power.

When Life Demands Too Much
When life feels like too much, we can be encouraged that “not enough” is often where God starts. In this experience, we learn that God can use what we have to give us what we need. And sometimes, the miracle we’re looking for starts with choosing to ask for help.

When I’m the Problem
Sometimes the greatest obstacle to God’s work in our lives is not our situation, but ourselves. Pride, expectations, and the need for control can hinder God's work in our lives. Often, God is ready to move, but He waits for us to stop striving, stop demanding that things happen our way, and make room for Him to work in His way.

God Cares About The Little Things
God cares deeply about the little things we often dismiss or keep to ourselves: the quiet worries, the minor frustrations, the prayers we think are too small to matter. What we tend to overlook, He invites. What we avoid bringing to Him, He already sees and still asks for.

Learning to Hear God’s Voice
God is often most active when we feel most vulnerable. He is working beyond what we can see, protecting us in ways we don’t recognize, and accomplishing His purposes without spectacle. What appears to be a crisis is, behind the scenes, divine control already at work. The challenge is to be still enough to hear and recognize God's guidance.

What’s the Point?
A life truly devoted to God leaves a legacy of faith, power, and influence that continues to bring life to others even after we are gone. Our legacy is not what we hold onto, but what God releases through us for future generations.
