• From Nothing to Something: Choose Your Outlet Carefully
    Oct 1 2024

    When you go from nothing to something there are outlets the world encourages you to tap into. This episode challenges you to evaluate the outlets you're choosing and figure out the why. Looking at Saul who went from being a man of low status to becoming a powerful king, we share common reasons today for choosing bad outlets. King Saul's life serves as a cautionary lesson on how harmful outlets ruin us and the importance of choosing them carefully.

  • From Nothing to Something: To Seek Vengeance Or Not
    Sep 24 2024

    Think of a time when someone wronged you or mistreated you. When you've come from nothing to something, this hits especially hard because you don't want to go backward. Is the satisfaction that vengeance brings enough to keep you being "something"? Often, the reasons we want vengeance are rooted in the wrong mindset. David and King Saul give us a snapshot into the dos and don'ts of seeking vengeance. The sweetest vengeance is highlighted, and it's something we all need to focus on in this episode.

  • From Nothing to Something: God Doesn't Overlook You
    Sep 17 2024

    Have you ever thought that you were being overlooked? There may be some truth to this, but if you think that God doesn't see you, then you're mistaken. God has handpicked you for some awesome things. However, sometimes we get in the way of ourselves. In this episode, we look at the contrasting responses to God not overlooking two men who were once overlooked by others.

  • Do Skeletons Control You?
    Jul 30 2024

    We all have skeletons in our closets (things we're ashamed of, embarrassed about, things we want to bury and act like they never happened). If you think you don't have any skeletons, I can guarantee you that someone close to you does. Our skeletons are disgusting, but how we deal with them shapes our view and walk in life. They may lead you to think you're a fraud or that you are better than you are. This episode looks at someone who became an expert at dealing with skeletons and will show the importance of having some go-to anthems to turn to.

  • Beyond Comics & TV ... This Is Real & Better
    Jul 23 2024

    Who doesn’t love a good movie, TV show, or book? It’s entertaining, it keeps our attention, and it oftentimes gets us to place ourselves in a character’s position. The Bible has this same effect (if you actually read it). The book of Judges is one of those books of the Bible you may not be very familiar with, but it contains a collection of historical events that record superhero-like men and women empowered by God. It’s better than a comic book or a great TV show, and it contains events that really happened! Like all the greats, it contains impactful lessons.
