We had the privilege of talking with The Ohio State University college students about this question: "In light of the world that we live in today, what brings you HOPE?" We got a few different responses, but we were always able to share the hope of the Gospel of Jesus with each student. What brings you hope? Is your hope in anything other than Jesus? I believe that Jesus is the only hope that is rock solid and transcendent through any trial of life and into eternity. Please reach out i...

Do you struggle with the temptation to be anxious or worried? Me too! Stats are at an all time high in our society to worry, even though we have more food and better shelter/amenities than in human history. Why is this? Jesus has some things to say about this, and I hope you read below and listen in: Matthew 6:25-34 25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clo...
Cody Balch sits down with author and mentor, Michael Perez, to discuss the often separated topics of "faith" and "finances". Are they meant to stay separated? If not separated, then how should they look when brought together, and what is the impact of connecting them back together in a biblical way? All this and more is sure to bless you, so be sure to listen in and share this conversation out with others who you know! To get Michael's book "Faith and Finances" or to contact Michael, please ...

As humans, we love to gain self confidence and even boast in our achievements, merits, and résumé. The apostle Paul reminds us that, unfortunately, our human/earthly résumé is as good as garbage when it comes to its value or ability to earn us eternal life...in fact, many of those things that we boast in are the very things that compete to keep our hearts from fully surrendering to the Lord. Listen in to this teaching/passage with an open, humble, and reflective heart. If you have any ...
Do you want to have a thriving marriage now, or for those of you who aren't married, do you want a thriving marriage in your future marriage? There is only one way to have a thriving marriage, and that is by living out God's design for marriage found in Ephesians 5:21-33. Sacrificial love, respect, and submission are key, and they heart postures are all found and perfectly modeled in the life of Jesus. 2 imperfect people do not make a perfect marriage, but Cody and Micah Balch both believe t...

As followers of Jesus, we are called to show love, compassion, and grace, even while we hold unswervingly to the truth of God's word. Christians should not affirm ANY type of sin, but we also should NOT stop loving our neighbor in the process. May believers in Jesus humbly pray and ask God to soften the hearts of people within the LGBTQ+ community so that they will find their salvation and true identity in Jesus alone. Check out this additional video resource: Should Christians Celebrate LGB...
The Apostle Paul uses his real life examples of Timothy and Epaphroditus to invite us in more deeply to how interdependent believers should be toward one another. We need caring believers in our life, and we need to be a disciple of Jesus who deeply and selflessly cares for others the way that Jesus exemplified toward us. I pray that this episode helps you be Better Equipped with the grace and truth of Jesus! If you have any questions or ways that I can encourage you and help you be Better E...
