How Can You Really Know Who God Is?
Many people walk away from a particular version of God but what if that is not His true identity? This week, we look at the identity of God as revealed by the one who know Him best...His Son! Maybe what we learn about God through the eyes of Jesus will welcome us back to Him.

The Bible Says So?
If you walked away from church because the Bible says so, you may have walked away unnecessarily. What if there is a deeper truth that was missed? What if the focus is in the wrong place? Don't miss this part of our journey that may reopen the door to considering the faith once again.

Stop Shooting Our Wounded
Many of you have walked away from God because you had that moment when you opened up and rather than feel heard, you were met with judgement and/or platitudes. Ken challenges those of us who call ourselves followers of God to learn from the de-conversion stories of others and create a culture where we are free to wrestle through doubt.

Restoring Lost Hope
What do you do when you have lost your hope? Today, we see the life, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus Christ through the life of one of His closest followers. He serves as a perfect case study on hope discovered, hope lost, and hope restored.

The Fear Factor
What if? This is such a powerful question. It can cause us to create something new and perhaps change the world. There is a flipside though. It can cause us to retreat due to fear of the unknown. If we are honest, one of the reasons why may not neighbor well is because of fear. The overcoming life is not the absence of or the ignorance of fear but it is taking steps of courage inspite of it. Who knows, maybe your neighbor might become a life long friend.

The Time Barrier
You wake up in the morning, get the kids dressed, run them to school, head to work, pick up the kids from school, do homework, take the kids to practice, get them home to clean up and go to bed, and relax for the night. Then, the alarm goes off and tomorrow is the same thing, and the next day, and the next day. The greatest barrier to being a great neighbor is...TIME. This week, we talk about choosing better over good and the impact it can make on our lives.

Love your Neighbor
What if the command to love your neighbor meant to love your literal neighbor? How would it change our neighborhood? Maybe we could recapture the sense of connection once existed across communities everywhere.

Make it Satisfying
All of our change and the effort to do so is moving in one direction. We want to reach that moment in life when we can go "Ahhh, that feels good." This week, Daniel joins Ken and together they dive into how to get to that point where the changes we want to make bring us fulfillment.

Make It Easy
January 1st hits and we suddenly change our eating habits, start going to gym, start reading our Bibles, start reading a book a month and by January 3rd, we have stopped it all. Many of us blame the resolution or our lack of ability to follow through. What if there were a way you can actually build into the change that you want? This week, we talk about the power of starting small and building momentum into the change that you want to make.

Make it Attractive
We have all been there! The moment we decide to change how we eat so that we can lose weight. We are eating kale while are friends are eating ribs, cake, and mashed potatoes. The next thing you know cake has somehow wormed its way into your hands. This week, Stan and I explore talks another way that we can see change happen in our lives. Make that change that we want attractive.

Make it Obvious
"You just have to stop doing it." "Just say no." How many of us have heard these statements and many like it when it comes to change? Has this piece of advice ever worked? This week, we explore a different arena rarely discussed when it comes to change - our environment. Yes, we look at seeing change happen in us by making change around us.

Home is Where You Hang Your Habit

The Resolve that Makes Resolutions Happen
It’s that time of the year. The gyms are full. People are signing up for Weight Watchers. Cigarette packs are being thrown out. How many of us have done this before? Can 2020 be different? The answer is a resounding, “Yes!” Maybe that new bod can become reality!

2020 Vision for Your Life
No doubt you have seen the 2020 vision metaphor at least once this year. However, it is important for us to not ignore the possibilities of what it could mean. This week, we look at how to start the new decade off by laying the foundation for true change to happen.
