When Relying On Ourselves & Others Isn’t Enough
When God fills our soul, nothing this world takes from us need matter. Stress and defensiveness are the soul's longing for God. If loving people is wearing you out, that’s your soul’s thirst for God. We’re created to need God and trust that He’ll take care of everything. He can fulfill in us what no man can.

Faith When God’s Silent & Life’s Hard
God’s silence is often heaven’s call to walk by faith. The source of faith is not the absence of hardship. Suffering does not erase the degree of God’s faithfulness. It tests our faithfulness. Faith doesn't wonder about what God will do but what we will do. Don’t use faith to argue with God. Trust Him.

Make God Great Again In America
Fixing the side effects of a nation’s corrupt values will not make America great again. Our future’s not determined by how well we adhere to the Constitution but to God’s Word. It’s a false freedom that leans on the First Amendment while living an immoral life. This battle’s about faith and values, not liberty.

Enough “Milk Toast” Christianity
Don’t go out in public until you can get into a foxhole with your political enemy and be willing to die to save their life. How? The best time to establish love for your enemy is when your soul is humbled from your own sin. It’s God’s love that builds faith in us. Let His love in you do the same for others.

Suffering Turned Into Joy
I’ve talked to those who have truly suffered: people in Nazi concentration camps. Suffering didn’t mean there was no God. It strengthened faith amidst hopelessness. Some say pain means there’s no God, when in reality it’s often a pathway to Him. It's not our suffering, but our sin that keeps us in darkness.

Confronted With The Impossibility of True Christianity
Overcome evil with good. Love your enemies. You think it's hard, but it's harder on the soul to hate than it is to sacrifice pride. Your cross will be the world’s chance to see God through you. Live your life because of who you are, not because of who others aren’t. Your hate gives them power over you.

When Death Speaks Louder Than Words
When Charlie was killed, God’s word came quickly, “You’ve seen what man can do. Now get ready for what I can do.”  The deafening sound of mercy rang out. Forgiveness is forged in blood - the price of freedom given by the truly free soul. It’s time to liberate America by loving our enemies at any cost.

Living An Identity That Can’t Be Stopped
Find something worth dying for, and then spend your life living for something that will last for eternity. Sacrifices that come from love and by faith forge an identity that can save our eternal lives and nation. It means living the truth, not just claiming it. Hell’s gates won’t prevail against you.

The Price Men Pay So We Can Go On
It was a martyrdom - the labor pains of a great birthing. A million Charlie Kirks will rise up. Jesus promised that our sorrow shall be turned into joy! The blood of the martyrs has always been the seed of the kingdom of God. Charlie died standing for his Master. So who are you standing for?

Want Peace? Keep God’s Word, Don’t Just Confess It
God doesn't usually help me by giving all the answers about why I suffer. Faith is its own answer. He helps by giving me himself. It’s about who I am becoming whatever I am going through - about changing me, not just my circumstances, until I am as His word in human form. He’s not against us.

Prisoners of Hope, Not Shame
Shame can be a symptom of failed self-esteem pursuits instead of relying on grace. It is the fruit of religious self-effort, an emblem of wounded pride. God gives the oil of joy for mourning. He buries shame in a double blessing of mercy. Show me your self-esteem, and I'll show you my divine-esteem.    Click https://bit.ly/m/Life-Journeys to find a list of your favorite platforms for this podcast!

The Voice In The Storm
When Job played the victim card  and said he didn’t deserve such suffering, God came in a whirlwind with a revelation of majesty that exposed his self-righteous heart.

Your Life’s Not Ruined, It’s Just Beginning
Neither our bodies, nor finances, diseases, possessions or people need define our life. Without Jesus, we have existence, but not life. He defines the future, and His glory defines our intended life. Your soul need never long for peace, value, or love. He gives life with no shame or regrets. Dare to let go of your life.  Click https://bit.ly/m/Life-Journeys to find a list of your favorite platforms for this podcast!

Accepting A Higher Reality When We Hurt
Many try to define God by their pain saying, "My hard life is the source of the truth of the mysteries of the universe and existence itself." God showed Job, “When you accept that I am in charge in your pain, then you can accept that I am in charge of your deliverance." Self-righteous reality never wins.

Making You Perfect and Complete
Your soul doesn't want a vacation, more money, health, or possessions. It wants what it was created to experience - the manifestation of a son of God in glorious liberty from all that holds you back.

Relief When I’ve Fallen So Far
I must have faith that Christ can light up the tombs of this world where my carnal life is entangled in powerlessness. Instead of finding despair and defeat, His light will surely prevail. Brought to the edge of despair, my Shepherd led me into the valley of the shadow of death to show me how to fear no evil.   Click https://bit.ly/m/Life-Journeys to find a list of your favorite platforms for this podcast!

Marriage, the Model for How Life Works
As in marriage, American unity won't work by demanding what we think we deserve. When a man is trying to find his inner needs through his wife instead of from God, he’s made an idol out of her that she can never live up to.  Life with dignity and respect works by grace verses our heightened sense of justice.  Click https://bit.ly/m/Life-Journeys to find a list of your favorite platforms for this podcast!

When the Christian Life Seems Impossible
It takes something supernatural to live the life we were born for. Jesus pleads our cause on the grounds of justice as One who died for us. He can say nothing good of us that will win the day. He alone restores us into divine favor. We’ll never arrive at a place where we no longer need a Savior.
