"The Result of Following" - Mike Ashcraft | Disciple, Part 4

Mar 03 2025 44 mins  
God designed us to reflect His image through love. Many of us understand being a Christian without grasping what it means to truly follow Jesus. Instead of using Him to validate our agendas, we're called to be disciples—friends of Jesus who are empowered to love others. When we realize that God's very essence is love, we understand that loving others isn't just a nice

"The Fruit of Fidelity" - Mike Ashcraft | Disciple, Part 3

Feb 24 2025 43 mins  
Following Jesus means becoming both a friend and apprentice, growing in love through His training. This relationship transforms our character and helps us embrace God's concerns as our own. As disciples, we take on new responsibilities that change how we see the world and work with others. The journey involves deliberate training of heart and mind as God guides us toward our un

"The Beauty of Familiar" - Mike Ashcraft | Disciple, Part 2

Feb 18 2025 39 mins  
Think of discipleship as starting an amazing friendship with Jesus - one that grows deeper as you follow His lead. Just like learning from a close friend who inspires you, following Jesus naturally shapes who you become. He invites you into this relationship not just to teach you about love, but to actually empower you to love others in ways you never thought possible. As you trust

"The Call to Follow" - Mike Ashcraft | Disciple, Part 1

Feb 11 2025 42 mins  
At its heart, walking with God is about building a genuine, transformative relationship. Just as close friends naturally begin to share values, interests, and perspectives, following Jesus shapes who we are at our core. This journey isn't about making perfect promises or checking religious boxes – it's about learning to depend on God daily and allowing that connection to

"Sitting with Scripture" - Clay Everett

Feb 04 2025 39 mins  
Imagine a book that's more than just ancient text—a living, breathing story of love that spans generations. The Bible is like a personal letter from God, breathed with intention and preserved through time, inviting us into an intimate conversation about hope, redemption, and purpose. It's not just a collection of writings, but a roadmap that reveals God's heart and ul

"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
