Changing a false identity or victim behavior begins by seeing God for who he truly is and seeing the inestimable value of ourselves. God gives us a real-life example of this miracle in the story a Hagar. No one valued her until the day she met God while running away from her life.

Our perspective has a great deal to do with our success or failure. Nehemiah relied on the Peak Perspective, God’s way of viewing matters, and so was part of a great accomplishment. We, too, can be part of God’s plan, if we will look at him, not our circumstances.

If God's Word is true, and he loves us enough to let his Son die for us, and he holds all power, then why do we experience so many painful things? Who is really responsible for the problems in the world and the pain in our life?

Certain wounds like sexual abuse, do incredible damage to our heart, mind, body, and soul, as we see in the story of Tamar and Amnon. Even so, the Lord can and will heal us, if we’ll allow him to do so. Healing begins by laying a truthful foundation in our beliefs.

It is easy to fling around the term “healing,” but what exactly do we mean? Our podcast today will bring clarity while we learn to dissect our wounds. Find out the four places affected by our wounds and the corresponding remedies so you can find complete healing.

God often has a perspective that is different than ours, something we can solve by receiving truth and getting healing. Unhealed wounds and false beliefs can blind us, making it easy to head in destructive directions. Find out how you can abandon the Dirt Perspective and adopt the Peak Perspective.

Defeating our pride and learning how to trust God is challenging. Today’s teaching will break this problem down into its three core elements: Power, Protection, and Provision. These helpful handles will help us see where the problem of pride is showing up in our life.

Trying to live the life we were created for, while painful wounds are living is us, doesn’t work. That’s why God brought Joseph’s family back into his life, so he could be fully restored and free to lead Egypt in strength and wisdom. Joseph is an example for all of us

When we disconnect from God, we put other things in his place, things that steer our life in the wrong direction. These false idols take our life captive. Today, Cyndy will share thoughts on how you can get your life back on track.

Everyone puts their trust in someone or something, but if it is not God, we will not experience the help and blessing of his power working on our behalf. False idols come in a thousand different forms, but one thing they all have in common, they steal us away from God’s best.

God clearly spells out two roads of which we can travel. His Word arms us with ample reasons and encouragement for choosing Trust Trail, as well as an equal amount of warnings why we should avoid Pride Pathway. Even so, making the right choice is difficult.

God has outlined for us two roads, roads I call “Trust Trail,” and “Pride Pathway.” One leads to life and happiness, the other to disappointment and destruction. There are reasons why we make the choices we do. Find out how you can avoid pain and suffering by traveling on Trust Trail.

Our beliefs affect how we conduct our life: every relationship, every decision, every reaction, which is why it is critical that we know what we believe, and that our beliefs line up with God’s Word. Otherwise, our beliefs will continually derail our life, leaving us disappointed and frustrated. Find out how you can get your beliefs back on track.

We all want to live a happy life, so does God, but stuff is holding us back. Just like the Israelites in Exodus, he's taking us to a good place, but we must follow him in order to get there. Getting to a great place in life hinges on our willingness to deal with our issues.

So many of us have deleted ourselves off the list of those Jesus loves and cares for because of the lives we’ve lived, just like the woman in Luke 7. After an encounter with Jesus, though, that can all change, as it did for her. We can begin to discover the truth that we are all worthy of love.

Learning from Joseph, Moses, David, and Paul, we will see a pattern God uses to prepare his children for their created purpose. Getting healthy has to come first before we can realize that purpose. We need God’s biblical healing before we can achieve our dreams and see our passions fulfilled.

Anyone who has struggled with anxiety knows how painful and debilitating it can be, affecting our mind, body, heart, brain, and spirit. Cyndy will talk about her own experiences with anxiety and offer helpful tips and strategies to find relief and healing.

Where does fear come from and how do we get rid of it? Too many of us befriend our fear rather than see him for the true enemy he is. Find out the two doors we open that allow fear to come in and grip our life, and how to close those doors for good.

More and more, our world is characterized by hatred and division. How can we live as Jesus asks us to live in such a hostile world? While we can’t control the world, we can control ourselves and make a positive impact. We can follow Jesus and be known by our love.

Jesus was the model of the non-dualistic life, deliberately going outside the socially acceptable boundaries. As we follow him, we learn to remove the barriers, to accept others, to see similarities, not differences, and move into relationships with love. God will always supply us with love when ours runs out.

Living with an undivided heart means we see all people as part of our group, every nationality, color, religious belief, sexual orientation, political party, etc. Even closer to home, those in our family, church, neighborhood, and work place are to be included. Sectioning off groups and individuals is dualism and limits the life God asks us to live.

Dualism is an attitude of judgment and exclusion, defining those we will love and those we will hate or dismiss. Dualism creates divisions. God asks us to love as Jesus did, without parameters, seeing all people as equal, as God’s creations, worthy of respect. It is an attitude that starts in our heart.

As screens dominate our life more and more, we need to stop to examine and evaluate our habits. Too much screen time is not only unhealthy for our bodies, it is unhealthy for our soul. God never wants us to be captive to anything but his love.

Does a day go by when we don’t find ourselves saying, “But I don’t have time for that?” Find out why that is a lie. Managing our time wisely is a challenge, but we can succeed if we have an honest and truthful perspective about this gift God has given us.
