"The Body Tells a Story" - Mike Ashcraft | Change is Possible, Part 4

Jan 28 2025 39 mins  
Our journey of healing reflects God's redemptive narrative—a profound transformation from brokenness to wholeness. As image-bearers, we're designed for deep connection, not just with each other but with our Creator. Trauma may fragment our sense of trust, but Christ's healing power invites us to integrate our wounded parts, allowing our bodies to become vessels of gra

"A Mind to Trust" - Mike Ashcraft | Change is Possible, Part 3

Jan 23 2025 40 mins  
Our minds are wired to trust God, yet we often get tangled up in our struggles and doubts. The beautiful truth is that real change starts the moment we choose to believe. It's not about just getting God's attention – it's about embracing the deep love He already offers. When we let His forgiveness work in our hearts, we find ourselves drawing closer to Him naturally.

"Seeing the Shape of Your Heart" - Mike Ashcraft | Change is Possible, Part 2

Jan 14 2025 40 mins  
In our rush through life, it's easy to miss what matters most. Our hearts aren't deceitful because they're bad – they simply respond to whatever we trust. That's why guarding our hearts is so crucial, not by building walls, but by creating space for God to work in us. Sure, we often struggle between what we do and what we really want to do, but there's always hope. When we learn

"A Vision For Formation" - Mike Ashcraft | Change Is Possible, Part 1

Jan 07 2025 37 mins  
Deep within us lies an innate understanding that we were created by and for God, designed for a greater purpose than our daily routines suggest. While regret often feels like an easier path to change, it only offers temporary relief rather than true transformation. Real change requires disrupting our normal patterns. The concept of My One Word isn't about making promises to improve

"Wait For" - Mike Ashcraft | Anticipating Immanuel, Part 3

Dec 17 2024 41 mins  
Waiting is hard in a world that craves instant results. We're challenged to see something worth pausing for, to let God reshape our desires and expectations. It's not about calculating potential outcomes but about trusting that the journey itself matters. The One we're waiting for is worthy of our patience, even when the waiting feels uncomfortable. Our trust transforms the waiting

"See Until" - Mike Ashcraft | Anticipating Immanuel, Part 2

Dec 10 2024 39 mins  
We're constantly bombarded by pressures that dictate our rhythm, often causing us to react without truly seeing. We chase deadlines, notifications, and expectations, losing sight of what genuinely matters. But there's a profound invitation to pause, to look deeper, and allow our experiences to stir our hearts. By paying attention to what we encounter and developing a mindful lens,

"Be Still" - Mike Ashcraft | Anticipating Immanuel, Part 1

Dec 03 2024 41 mins  
In the hustle of daily life, Advent offers a gentle reminder to pause and breathe. It's an invitation to find stillness amidst chaos, to quiet our restless minds and stop the constant pressure to produce. Like a deep breath in a crowded room, this season encourages us to simply be—to open ourselves to grace, to anticipate hope, and to remember that our worth isn't measured by our

"A Holy King" - Mike Ashcraft | A King Like Jesus, Part 4

Nov 25 2024 37 mins  
In our daily struggles, holiness isn't about achieving perfection, but about cultivating a heart of devotion and surrender. It's recognizing that we are already forgiven and loved, and choosing to make ourselves available to God's purpose in each moment. Through trust and abiding, we bear His image – not by flawless behavior, but by embracing redemption and experiencing the freed

"A Just King" - Mike Ashcraft | A King Like Jesus, Part 3

Nov 19 2024 42 mins  
Imagine justice not as a harsh punishment, but as a healing journey of restoration. At its heart, justice is about rebuilding relationships—first with God, and then with each other. Forgiveness is the key that unlocks this transformative process. When we embrace forgiveness, we begin to understand a deeper kind of justice that isn't about retribution, but about rebuilding trust a

"A Humble King" - Mike Ashcraft | A King Like Jesus, Part 2

Nov 12 2024 38 mins  
At the heart of Christianity stands a remarkable paradox: Jesus, who shapes the world through gentleness and humility rather than force or power. His way offers us a fresh path to live as God intended, restoring broken relationships and bringing genuine peace. While this path often puts us at odds with society's usual ways of doing things, it transforms us in beautiful ways – tur
