Surrender
by anonymous Absolutely not. No way. That is the last thing I was able to do. Instead, fight until the end, until the last breath, yadda, yadda, yadda.

Pain of Discipline or Pain of Regret
by Joey Jenkins I heard this powerful quote from Jim Rohn many years ago that still rings true to me today. “We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret.

God Space – Part 2
In my first blog about God Space I talked about the “WHY” behind sharing the gospel. In this one, I wanted to spend a little bit of time talking about the “WHO” and the “HOW.” The WHO is pretty simple, right? Everyone in our lives who doesn’t know Jesus as their savior and is living a life apart from Him. … Read More
Confronting Challenging Issues: What is Truth? with Pastor Jarrod Williams
Why is truth a challenging issue? In this episode we bring back one of our first guests, Pastor Jarrod Williams from Redemption Chapel, to discuss it. We live in an age of “my truth”, and “it’s true for you but not for me.” How do we approach the topic as Christians? Is there such a thing as subjective truth? Listen … Read More
God is calling; Will you answer? with Brock Kreitzburg
We got the privilege to sit down with former US Winter Olympian and American Bobsled World Champion, Brock Kreitzburg, to talk about his crazy journey through sports, the Olympics, and Hollywood and how all of that left him feeling empty and in search of what God wanted for his life and not what he wanted. That led him to full-time … Read More
