You have value and abilities far beyond what you’ll ever credit yourself with. Never believe the lie that you have nothing to offer. Our strengths and skills are not a needle in a haystack, rather they are natural, common abilities to us. Since most people do not recognize their strengths because they are so natural to […]
Questions are a great thing. Author Tony Robbins said, “The quality of your life is a direct reflection of the quality of the questions you are asking yourself.” We need to be like the little girl who kept asking question after question to her mother. Finally, the mother cried out, “For heaven’s sake, stop asking so […]
To live a life of intentionality, you must have an extreme bias toward action—the drive to make your life count. The good thing is that, in my opinion, everyone possesses this desire; it’s just a matter of extracting and activating it. The goal of life is not to arrive at death safely, but sparingly. By […]
If we are going to hear God’s voice we have to tune out all others. We hear a million voices a day. Through news, social media, radio, podcasts, co-workers, family members, and ourselves, we are bombarded with chatter. Some of these voices are screaming louder than others. Some of these voices are more influential than […]
Overcoming adversity, discouragement and self-doubt is something many of us have had to do throughout our lifetime. During these times you will have many turning points in your life.

Creativity is essential for living a successful life. One will never reach their full potential without an element of creativity and innovation. Now, you might be saying, “But I’m not a creative person!” Well, let me push back on you and say, “That is a lie!” You see, you were created by a creative God […]
No one likes to be around greedy individuals. Covetousness repels people from you. It does not draw them closer to you. When we allow ourselves to covet our neighbor’s blessings, we start to pull away from community with them. We cannot allow jealousy, pride, anger, bitterness, resentment, and gossip to start sneaking its way into […]
Forgiveness knows no boundaries. Think about this…Jesus forgave you before you even did it. That is a mind-blowing thought. He initiated forgiveness before you even knew what you did. Forgiveness is not conditional upon the degree of what you did, it’s unconditional upon the love of Christ. There is no wrong act that is above forgiveness and […]
How you view circumstances will determine what you do with them. You can either breakdown or breakthrough, it’s your choice. We must remember that circumstances aren’t happening to us; they are happening for us. When you change your perspective you change your possibilities. One wrong view can change the whole course of what you do. […]
Martin Luther said, “The world does not need a definition of religion as much as it needs a demonstration.” Christianity is not a noun, it’s a verb; it requires action. I believe the world is confused about what it means to be a Christ-Follower because we have talked about it more than we have shown […]
