Less Anxious Week 2 - Voices Matter
The voices we allow into our lives have a profound impact on our anxiety, our identity, and our peace. People closest to us generally fall into three categories: divisive people who stir up conflict and raise our anxiety, sharpening people who challenge us to grow, and safe people who bring us rest and peace. Being intentional about who gets access to our inner world is one of the most practical…
Less Anxious Week 1 - Dwelling
Anxiety is an automatic emotional response to real or imagined threats, and it is not a sign of weak faith or a character flaw. Philippians 4:6-9 offers a clear framework for becoming less anxious: God has a role, and so do you. Your inner life is like a dwelling place, and you have the ability to shape what lives there. While you cannot always control every thought that enters your mind, you are…
MDWK Mailbag - Why do you do what you do?
Do you know why you do what you do? Today that’s the question. What is motivating you? What is driving you? When you figure that out, when you really press into that question, everything changes.
Mark 14
Many Christians assume that if something is truly God's will, it should feel easy. But Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane tells a very different story. He was perfectly obedient, completely innocent, and still experienced anguish so intense that His sweat became like drops of blood. Difficulty does not mean you have missed God. It may mean you are right in the middle of His will. True surrender,…
MDWK Mailbag - Train for Godliness
Train for Godliness Ancient Greeks trained in the gym completely naked—no hiding anything. When Paul told Timothy to "train in godliness" (1 Tim 4:7-8), the message was clear: spiritual growth requires absolute vulnerability. God already sees every part of us (Hebrews 4:13). Stop trying to hide your mess and let Him actually train you.
Mark 13 - Watch and Actively Wait
Waiting is unavoidable, but how we wait matters far more than the fact that we wait. Mark 13 gives a powerful framework for understanding the signs of the end times without falling into fear or obsession. Jesus predicted the destruction of Jerusalem, which was fulfilled in AD 70, and also pointed to a final cosmic fulfillment still to come. He made clear that no one knows the day or the hour…
What Are You Praying For?
Hannah's story in 1 Samuel is a powerful picture of what it looks like to bring your deepest pain before God with honesty and persistence. Despite years of heartbreak, social shame, and unanswered longing, Hannah refused to stop praying. She poured her soul out before God, made a covenant with Him, and trusted Him with the very thing she was asking for. God heard her, remembered her, and answered…

Spiritual Warfare How do we know if what we are going through is Spiritual Warfare or just the fruit of our choices? Fruit is a big clue.

Spiritual Disciples - Prayer
If fasting clears the noise and simplicity anchors the heart, prayer is the ongoing conversation that keeps us connected to the Vine. In the final part of our series, we are diving deep into the heartbeat of spiritual life: Prayer. We often think of prayer as a slot on our calendar, but it’s meant to be the atmosphere we breathe. In this episode, we talk about two powerful dimensions of…
