This episode is a perspective shift you didn’t know you needed. Many believers are still waiting for God to "show up" and change their lives—but what if He has already done so? In this episode, we explore how salvation through Christ is already complete (John 3:17) and how God has already blessed us and given us everything we need for life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3, Ephesians 1:3).
You’ll be challenged to stop waiting for God and start walking in the authority, power, and resources that are already yours in Christ. Through biblical truth and practical teaching, we discover how to manifest what God has already provided—by speaking faith-filled confessions, praying Spirit-led prayers, following divine instructions, and acting with bold, Spirit-inspired obedience.
This isn’t about striving—it’s about stepping fully into what’s already yours. Listen and be blessed.
In this powerful and introspective Bible study, we ask an important question: How aligned are you with God? God longs to share His heart with His children, revealing the places where we’ve drifted from His truth and settled for less than His best. Through scriptures like 3 John 1:2, Amos 3:3, and Isaiah 55, we’re invited to examine our lives—our thoughts, choices, and direction—and consider whether we’re truly living in agreement with God’s Word and His promises.
This episode challenges us to step out of mediocrity and into the abundant life God offers. We reflect on His invitation to deeper intimacy, trust, and obedience, knowing that alignment with Him brings peace, purpose, and joy. With the help of the Holy Spirit, as Jesus promised in John 14 and 16, we can live a life fully aligned with God’s perfect plan.
Reflection Question: Take time to journal and reflect on every area of your life including your relationships, goals, habits, and heart posture. Ask the Holy Spirit: “Lord, which area of my life is not aligned with You? Show me how to walk in Your truth.”
The Benefits of Knowing Who You Are in Christ
In this final episode of the Identity in Christ series, we celebrate the incredible blessings that flow from truly embracing who you are in Christ. Knowing your identity isn’t just head knowledge. It transforms how you live, pray, and face the world.
Drawing from scriptures like Ephesians 3:12, Isaiah 26:3, Ephesians 2:10, 1 John 4:4, and Romans 8:17, we explore five powerful benefits of living out your God-given identity: boldness before God, peace and security, purpose and direction, victory over sin and the enemy, and access to God’s inheritance.
This episode will inspire you to walk confidently, knowing you are loved, empowered, and equipped for every good work God has prepared for you. Listen and be blessed. But most importantly, start living like the child of God that you are.
What Really Changes When You Become a Child of God
In this episode of our Identity in Christ series, we explore the powerful transformation that takes place when someone becomes a child of God. From being made righteous to receiving the Holy Spirit, salvation isn’t just a moment; it’s the beginning of a brand-new identity.
Through scriptures like 2 Corinthians 5:17, Romans 8:15–17, and Ephesians 1:7, we unpack five key changes that happen at salvation.
If you’ve ever wondered what it really means to be God’s child, this episode will give you biblical clarity and spiritual encouragement to live it out daily.
Rooted in Love: The Foundation of Our Identity
In Part 3 of our Identity in Christ series, we focus on the unshakable truth that our identity begins and is sustained by God's love. Anchored in John 3:16, we reflect on how God’s love is what sent Jesus to redeem us and make us His own. You don’t have to earn it. You simply receive it.
Through scriptures like Ephesians 3:14-19 and John 1:12-13, we explore how knowing and embracing God’s love helps us stand firm in who we are as His children.
If you’ve ever felt unworthy, unseen, or unsure of your value, this episode will remind you of the deep, unconditional love of God that defines you. Listen and be blessed.
Whose Voice Are You Listening To?
In Part 2 of our Identity in Christ series, we uncover one of the enemy’s oldest and most effective tactics—causing God’s children to question their identity. Whether through trials, doubts, or inner struggles, many Christians wrestle with who they are because of what they’re facing.
Through the lens of Matthew 4:1-4 and Genesis 3:1-7, we examine how Satan has always twisted God’s words to create confusion and insecurity. But the good news? We don’t have to fall for his lies.
This episode will equip you with biblical truth and spiritual clarity, helping you stand firm in what God has said about you and silence every voice that says otherwise. Listen and be blessed.
Born of God: Embracing Your True Identity in Christ
In this foundational episode of our Identity in Christ series, we dive into one of the most powerful truths in the Christian walk—our identity as children of God.
Drawing from key scriptures like John 1:1-13, 2 Corinthians 5:16-17, and Romans 8:14, we explore what it truly means to be born again and adopted into God’s family.
Jesus boldly declared His identity as the Son of God, and as believers, we are invited to walk in that same confidence, knowing who we are and whose we are.
This episode will encourage you to stop seeing yourself from a worldly point of view and begin living from the place of your divine identity.
Whether you're navigating transitions, or simply longing for deeper purpose, this message will help you build your life on the unshakable foundation of who you are in Christ. Listen and be blessed.
Have you been thinking you're in a wilderness season? Do you have questions about navigating such a season in your life? If this is you, and even if it isn't, this Bible Study is for you.
The phrase wilderness season is often used in Christian circles to define a time in the Christian's life when things are challenging for an extended period and they haven't received the manifestation of God's promises. Maybe they aren't seeing results from the spiritual activities they are doing.
In this Bible study, we look at the example often referenced as the basis for the wilderness season message. We study the experience and learn how to shift of a wilderness.

"Read your Bible, pray every day if you want to grow" is a song I remember from Sunday school. The words intimate that growth is expected of a Christian. The Bible also makes it clear that Christians are meant to grow. Not only are Christians meant to grow, but it is also possible to track your spiritual growth as a Christian.
The Bible gives us a clear guide to see how much we have grown. In this Bible study, using scripture, we take a moment to reflect on our spiritual growth.

We will face challenging seasons at some point in our lives. When we do, we must know how to navigate such seasons, living in the fullness of God's Word. God desires that we walk in the triumph Jesus has already given us to face challenging seasons.
In this Bible study, we learned that life works in times and seasons, and there will be challenges. We looked at 3 beliefs (scriptures) we must settle in our hearts as we face such challenges. Finally, we considered what we should do as we walk through these seasons. Listen and be blessed.
One of the hardest times for a believer is when things don't make sense, especially when following God's will or instructions. Shouldn't things be easy? Why are things challenging?
Jesus never said believers wouldn't face challenges but when they do, they should take heart because He has overcome it all. That's all well and good but what do you do when God's ways don't make sense?
In this Bible study, we examine Exodus 13:17-18 and look at how God led the Israelites. We study why He led them in the way He did and what we should do when we can't make sense of the journey we're on with Him.
Listen and be blessed.
As Christians, one of our deepest desires expressed or unspoken, is to know God's will. We believe that knowing His will will guide us to do the right thing and experiencee God's best.
In this Bible study, we consider what is God's will and the difference between His sovereign will and His will for our lives. We also learn how to know His will or mind on a matter and how to align ourselves to experience the blessing of living in His will.
Listen and be blessed as you do.
Wanting to change and changing are not the same. Quite often as Christians, we expect that once we set our hearts to change, we will.
But we find that it is easier to say we want to change rather than change. We start off motivated but this motivation wears off after some time. Hence, we don't experience lasting change.
In this Bible study, we examine how we can change effortlessly. This is not to say you won't do anything but to show how believers can experience change without needing to depend on self-will.
Referenced in this Bible Study is a previous episode about why change is hard. To understand why change is hard, listen to Episode 001 - Why Is Change Hard As A Christian
Many believers desire to see results and God's promises fulfilled in their lives. The Bible tells us that we must be spiritually mature to see the fullness of God's Word and promises.
In this Bible study, we consider spiritual maturity for the Body of Christ. Using Ephesians 4:11-15 and 2 Peter 1:5-8, we study God's desire for us as Christians. We see that God desires for believers, the church, to come to the fullness in Christ.
Listen to learn about spiritual maturity and how you can attain it.
A new year brings renewed hope that things will be great. Believers are among those who have this hope. We seek God's Word for the year and pray that this year will be better than the last.
However, life has shown that a new year doesn't always include new experiences, opportunities and blessings. For that to happen, we have to let the Holy Spirit lead us and do what He says. We have to be willing to do things differently and in some cases, get out of our comfort zones.
This Bible study considers God's prophetic words about the new year and how to bring them into reality. We explore the ways to take spiritual realities and make them real.
Listen and then act on what you hear.
With a New Year, many will set resolutions and goals which won't be met. But as a believer, that doesn't have to be your story.
In this Bible study, we look at practical ways to have a great New Year, and it all starts before January 1. We consider Thanksgiving a reflective tool, noting the lessons and experiences we've had and determining our focus in the New Year.
Grab your journal. You're going to need it as you listen to this Bible study.
It's very easy to go through life as a believer without considering what God thinks about your body. But the Bible and God have a lot to say about your body.
In this Bible study, we look at God's thoughts about our bodies. We also look at why caring for our bodies like God does is important.
Finally, we consider some practical ways we can care for our bodies as believers. Listen and be blessed.
It is possible to be a believer in debt. Read the widow's story in 2 Kings 4: 1-7 and you'll see that you can have the gift of prophecy and be in debt.
But you don't have to be in debt. The Word of God has the answer for your debt freedom. God wants you to be debt-free and living in a state of self-sufficiency.
But how do you get there? Through the Word most importantly. In this Bible study, we consider what the Bible says about debt and what path we should follow. Listen and be blessed.
When you mention the word tithe in Christian circles, you will get multiple reactions. From those who tithe religiously to those who believe your tithe (and giving) is a waste of money.
But what does the Bible say about tithing? Should we tithe as new covenant believers? Is it an Old Testament or New Testament thing? Is there a percentage you should tithe? Is it net or gross income? Should it go to your pastor and local church?
All these and more are answered in this Bible study. Listen and be blessed.
