You might think the episode title here is ironic or meant to be facetious, but I assure you, it's not.

Last episode I shared a story about how I got to see God do a miracle in the life of my friend Sidney. It's always amazing when God heals!
But what about the times that God doesn't heal? I've had plenty of those too.
This episode explores how our faith can increase even in the midst of major disappointment.
This week, I wanted to share a testimony of healing that God did in our small group. It's a powerful story and all glory goes to God!
May we all be people who expect God's touch and miracles to see His Kingdom come on earth as it is in Heaven.
I'm often asked about books that I recommend about finding your identity in Christ. I give you my favorite three in this podcast. In fact I like them all so much that I read them each annually!
One thing that I didn't say in this podcast that goes without saying, but I'll write it anyway, is that obviously the #1 book would be the Bible.
Ok, it's been said :) Enjoy!
Gardening can be tricky. There are times when the fruit you produce doesn't line up with your expectation. How do we address bad fruit? It starts at the root.
"The spiritual framework I've set up for my life is no longer sufficient for the season I'm in."
When we're not getting the results we want out of our spiritual lives, how do we go about improving that? That's what this episode is all about.
Why are we so investing in the new thing? Our society loves the quick, shortcut, easy fix, but is that God's way?
Of course not!
Why is it worth it? We dig into that today.
What does abundance really mean?
Our world has a different definition than Christ does, so why should we pursue the way of Christ instead?
What does it mean to Model the Way?
Why is it important for Christians to model the way of Christ in our lives around us?
This is a big topic and we scratch the surface of it here in today's podcast.
You may think the title of this is dramatic, but I don't think it's wrong.
Once you remove the Creator from creation, we see all kind of things go wrong.
Today we explore the bigger problem with evolutionary theory, that goes beyond the simple argument that it doesn't line up with the word of God.
Have you ever asked yourself this question: "Why do I believe what I believe?"
It's a question we should all be evaluating and improving the answer to on a regular basis.
On this podcast, we're digging into that question and how to answer it.
How do you build a great relationship with your dad? How do we build a great relationship with our Heavenly Father? We explore that on today's episode.
What do you do with the power God's given you. Jesus models that for us on today's podcast.
It's become really popular to bash the church. Some people call it "deconstructing" the church, other just bash it. Usually this comes from a place of being hurt by the church.
How do we find healing in that? We discuss that on today's podcast.
How do we respond when we face challenges? How does this impact our identity in Christ? Let's find out together on this week's episode.
There's a fine line between helping people grow and using people to fulfill your own agenda. What's that look like and how do we overcome it?
If you're like me, you want to make an impact. But what if the way we make the greatest impact is to fulfill our identity in Christ?
Have you ever wanted to do something to better yourself and then not do it? Or a better question might be, how many times a day does this happen?
How do we get over that hump and help each other discover our identities in Christ?
When it comes to seeking promotion, are we trying to fast track a path there? Or are we focused on making ourselves more promotable?
In this episode we dig into a socially accepted label that might be detracting you from your identity in Christ.
