    53: Your Calling WILL Cost You

    2. You can't have purpose without sacrifice.
    3. The version you are before the calling must die before or during the achievement of your calling.

    51: Believe God the First Time
    Feb 16 2023
    When God asks things of us or makes promises, it can be hard to keep the faith that He meant what He said. I'm living testimony that if He said it, He means it. Let's dive in!

    Takeaways:
    1. Sometimes God doesn't give you "confirmation" because He trusts you to obey anyway.
    2. He is a God of action. He will back up what He says.
    3. God can provide more than just the bare necessities. He already knows what you need and desire.
    4. When He calls you to it, He'll bring you through it.

  • 50: Lean on Me

    50: Lean on Me
    Feb 9 2023
    Running to friends, family, or significant others for the comfort, rest, and peace that only God can provide will always leave us feeling empty, resentful, and alone. Let's dig into that.

    Takeaways:
    1. We are not called to feel empty, resentful and alone. 
    2. Matthew 11:28-30 shows us to lean on God for rest and to consider that His burden is light.
    3. The name of the Lord is our strong tower. Proverbs 18:10
    4. If it doesn't point us back to God, it should no longer be a source of support.
