Discipleship is a team sport. Family—both through our natural families, and our supernatural family through baptism—and communion with others is an essential ingredient to the Christian life. Not that it will be easy…it won’t be. It is simple, but not easy. An encounter with family lived well is redeeming not because it’s perfect, but because there’s love and sacrifice in the midst of the mess. That’s where healing is, especially if your experience of family has been painful in some way.
And truly, if the mention of “family” is painful for you, know this: God wants to break through and redeem that. The bond through baptism is real and deep—this family is not second best; not a consolation prize. Blood is thicker than water, but grace is thicker than blood.
“Lord, help me to see today how you’re going to reveal yourself in my family.”

Hope Is Personal
Do you believe and have hope that prayer does something? Doing things repeatedly can cause us to lose the awe and wonder of what’s happening in our prayer life. There can come a point when we’re no longer coming to prayer expecting to hear God’s voice or expecting anything at all. This results in boredom or discouragement — a loss of hope. In this episode, we’ll talk about how we can pray for a supernatural…

We Are Not Self-Defined
There’s always some mystery involved in an anointing. God doesn’t select the person we expect; this happens throughout the Old Testament and with the Apostles. There’s a mystery of who God calls and how God calls. God still calls really talented people, but not because they’re talented. We are not our skills…
