With Christmas approaching it can bring along added stress. Let's face it, this year was pretty challenging. Actually, there was nothing pretty about it if you had any say. You're ending this year with what seems like the biggest mountain you've ever faced. You didn't accomplish what you wanted to. You didn't lose the weight, you're in a financial hole, your family is falling apart, you're grieving the loss of a loved one, you lost your job and the hits keep coming. You've hit rock bottom and can't seem to catch a break.  In this episode we take a look at Deuteronomy 31:6.  As difficult as this year may be for you, let us: Draw strength from the Lord.Ask the Lord to reveal areas in your heart that you've closed off access to.Ask the Lord to teach you to remember and see the good.End the year with courage.Today's Sponsor: EveryLife — the only premium baby brand that is unapologetically pro-life.

In today's episode, we step on some toes by diving into the topic of gluttony and sex. There is something profoundly disturbing about an overweight missionary or preacher teaching about holiness, freedom, and deliverance when that person is obviously under the power of another authority -- food (ouch). Sex and food both do damage to your physical and spiritual walk. While the consequences are different, both are equally gross sins that can easily become a stronghold. The good news is, "... by his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also.." (1 Corinthians 6:14). We cannot conquer any physical addictions (whatever they may be) without the same power that raised Jesus from the dead. It's up to you and me to submit our desires and trade off for something far greater, freedom! Today's Sponsor: EveryLife — the only premium baby brand that is unapologetically pro-life.

Ladies, this is for you. This episode is all things intimacy. We take a look at Matthew 6-7 and Ephesians 5:22-33 on submission and how intimacy plays a vital role in that.  Intimacy with your spouse should be sacred just as intimacy with Christ should be. Too often we make a spectacle of our relationship both with Christ and our spouse and it's simply a public relationship. Relationship with your spouse just as with Christ should go deeper than public displays, or mere physical intimacy. It requires an emotional bond. If not, it's not true intimacy.   Matthew 6:6 states, "But when you pray, go into your private room, shut your door, and pray to your Father who is in secret." Just as intimacy with your spouse is built in private, so is your relationship with Christ.  So, for you, is intimacy a spectacle or spectacularly sacred?  Support the show
