Back again in the studio are Jared and Dawn Proctor.  Today we discuss how God often uses our passions, skills and desires to bring his purpose in and through our lives.  God made us, therefore he knows us.  Life is more fun when we realize we were made with a purpose.  

Dawn and Jared Proctor (part two)

When Dawn and Jared Proctor found out they were having another baby, they were crazy excited.  Everything in their life seemed to be right on track.  And then they were given the devastating news that there was a problem with the pregnancy.  They were hit with a bombshell...their son would be challenged with Down Syndrome.  Choosing to trust God through the storm, their life changed dramatically.  But in the midst of it all, God has given them great peace and hope as they face each new day.  Today's podcast will encourage you.

Dr. Larry Reesor has immeasurably impacted the world with the gospel.  He has introduced hundreds of thousands of believers to develop a kingdom mindset and a heart for missions,  Some would say, in the last 50 years, he has had the greatest influence on helping the Church be fully engaged in fulfilling Acts 1:8.  His story is an example of what it means to be faithful to God's call with your whole life. Today's podcast will help you discover how being obedient to God will likely give you the ride of your life.

We all want more of God or do we? The quick answer most Christians would give is "yes I want more of God". But, isn't that a bit risky? What if God asks more of us than we are wanting to give? What does it mean to want more of God and how do we get more of Him?

More of God

God still speaks today. For those of us that have been around church life for any period of time, this is not breaking news. We have heard this message many times. But, how does God speak? How do we hear from Him? How do we know it is God speaking?

How to Hear From God

Life is full of transitions.  Change can be challenging for some, and exhilarating for others.  Some transitions are unexpected, while others are known far in advance.  Some are very difficult and tragic, while others are momentous and life shifting.  Transitions and change are inevitable.  What we do with them, and how we handle them is the key.

Making the Big Life Transitions

Are vacations Biblical?  Is it wrong to take a vacation?  Is it necessary?  What does the Bible actually say about getting away?  What is the ideal vacation for each of us?

Should I Take a Vacation?

Just three guys opinions about some of their favorite movies.  Not the deepest and most spiritual conversation we've ever had, but there might be a nugget or two in this episode.  Some choices you might expect on this list, but there might be a few you don't see coming.

The Greatest Movies of All Time

This was a heavier subject matter for us.  Suicide is a reality, and it seems to be increasing in our society.  What's the reason and what can we do about it?  For the one listening to this that might be contemplating suicide ... before you even listen, know that you are loved, and that there is a purpose for you.  Take time right now to call the national suicide prevention hotline:  800-273-8255.  Your life DOES matter!

The Reality of Suicide

We live in a world where calling someone he or she is considered offensive.  Businesses are now asking their employees to not refer to a customer as a specific gender until they give permission.  It's in the news quite a bit lately.  How do we as believers deal with a society this confused about identity?  What is the appropriate response?

Are There Really More Than Two Genders?

The calling of God.  Is it for everyone?  Is there a different call for those that are in full-time vocational ministry?  How do you know if you are being called?  We dig into these questions and more in this episode!

What Does it Mean to be Called into the Ministry?

So just what is all this talk about digital money?  Does it hold actual value?  Can it be used in the real world?  Is it something we should pay attention to or invest in?  

Cryptocurrency?

The way we think determines the way we act.  Said another way:  Your life is a result of your thoughts.  It sounds simple, but controlling our thought life maybe the biggest battle in the Christian walk.  The positive outlook is change your thinking, and you'll change your life.  So how?  How do you change the way you think?  How to you renew your mind?

The Battlefield of the Mind

Christianity is messy. Ministry is messy. Life is messy. It's messy because we live in a fallen world full of fallen people. However, God has used the messiness (is that a word?) of people throughout history. He takes our brokenness and insecurities, and uses them for His purposes and glory.
