Ever wish you could see people differently—past the annoyances, the assumptions, the judgments? And do you ever wish people would see you without those same obstructions? Jesus makes it possible! We're diving into what...

Someone will always seem better, faster, or more impressive than you. And somewhere, someone is quietly questioning why you do what you do, or why you say what you say. When that happens— and it will—what will shape...

One of the most relatable moments in the gospel narratives is when a hurting father utters these words to Jesus: “I do believe, help me overcome my unbelief!” Are you struggling to be compelled to live for Jesus instead...

Are you awake to God? Paul says that the love of Christ should compel us. When we truly grasp what Jesus has done for us, we can’t keep living as if life is all about us. His love changes our direction, our priorities...
