On this one-year anniversary of the More Power Than You Think Podcast, I want to share one of the most vital, life-changing mind set shifts we must make in order to truly keep God in charge of our lives and to avoid resisting His plans for us. And that is, your position is not your purpose. Positions change, your purpose does not. Don’t let yoursel…

Have you ever said “hurry up and learn” to yourself? Have you ever poured your time and energy into pursuing knowledge and then realized what you’ve learned is just a drop in the bucket of what you should know? This can lead to some anxiety and probably some discouragement. Is there even time for us to learn all that we feel we need to know? As Pas…

Today's episode is not an attack on fallen leaders, but rather encouragement and instruction for those disheartened or discouraged by leadership that has gone astray or caused harm. ​I pray what God has led me to share will inspire you or a loved one to continue on as a soldier for Jesus Christ, with focus on our faithful God, all the way to the fi…

I love the examples God gives us in Scripture. They offer a roadmap for us, so we can stay encouraged and on course. God used Joseph, Moses, David and Paul to minister to me. God did not expect perfection from them, only the next step of obedience as He continued to reveal their path. He does the same for us. I hope to encourage you today that you …

It is so important that we learn to be content with loneliness. If we don't learn this skill, our relationships will suffer, our ministry will suffer, and our walk with God will suffer. Even in the best relationships, there is still a hunger in the soul only Christ can fill. We can be surrounded by people that genuinely love and care for us and sti…

It is easy to lose sight of who our God is when the world seems so out of control. But God hasn't changed. God is alive and working in this world. The devil may think he is winning, but you and I have a Light and message that he can never dim!! Amen! I pray this post renews your spirit or encourages you in the power of our God. Maybe you already ha…

Sometimes we designate a trial in our life as a time to be “off duty” from being a light for Christ. Suddenly, we seem to have blinders on and all we can see is how our trial is affecting US. But if we can view our trials through God's lens, many blessings surface. We lose many blessings when we isolate our interactions and trials to only be about …

King David had a dream of building God’s temple and was ready to take action, but God gave him a hard, “No!” Has God done this to a dream in your life? Said NO. How did you handle that? What became of the dream? There is a difference between suppressing our dreams, which leads to discontentment, and surrendering our dreams, which leads to peace. At…

Scripture tells us that we can be God's friend. What an incredible honor and privilege. Several years ago, God helped me understand a way we can love Him with even more of our heart, soul, and mind so that we become a true friend of God. It is amazing that our Holy God condescends to our level to share friendship with us. Let’s uncover an obstacle …

Many believe that the idea of existing for the sole purpose of glorifying God is a ridiculous concept. Most have a perspective that following God is more like a hobby, and they see a relationship with Christ as optional. It is a given that for a lost soul to go to heaven, Christ is not optional, but there are also Christians who are living as if Ch…

God doesn't always choose to remove affliction. Perhaps you will agree that looking back on certain trials in your life you can see at least one way you benefited from the trial. People yearn for proof and examples that God really is enough for their trial. When we choose to keep living abundantly regardless of hardships and afflictions, we are giv…

Trials give God an opportunity to gently minister to us and give us an opportunity to savor resting in His care. We find His peace when we trust Him regardless of the storm around us. This week’s episode title comes from Psalm 116:7-8. “Return unto thy rest, O my soul; For the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee. For thou hast delivered my soul f…

Prayer doesn't need to be perfect. Our prayer doesn't have to be long. We don't even have to know the person we’re praying for or the outcome. If we really tune in, I believe we will consistently hear God's whisper prompting us to pray all throughout our day for strangers everywhere we go. Everywhere we go and look, we will find someone who has a n…

Any labor we do for the Lord is worth it all if just one life is enriched spiritually as a result. This week's episode is about your worth, my worth and the worth of every life we intersect. It is about sacrifice and how reaching, investing in, and enriching another life for Christ is worth ANY cost. We are so valuable that Jesus considered us wort…

Early on in dementia, the patient has an awareness of things changing. They know that some of their thoughts are not quite right. They have an awareness that there are parts of their thinking process that they are losing control of. Our mental battles can be very similar. You have one foot hanging off the edge of sanity, while the foot on solid gro…

Of all the episodes from this series, this last one pulls at my heart the most. I spend more time on stigma in this episode than any of the others. It is a sad topic, but it is the truth of what’s going on in our churches. I also am forthright about the harm in the approach many take in counseling, an approach that has much truth but is mixed with …

This is part 2 of my discussion on counseling. Today I reveal my concerns about both secular and Biblical counseling. Neither one can be blindly followed and neither one needs to be automatically excluded. I point out that none of the counseling types are intentionally trying to steer you away from truth, but I do highlight things you need to be aw…

The discussion on counseling will cover two weeks.

My plan today was to talk about all things counseling… secular, spiritual, and Biblical counseling. But God has given me more homework. More studying and reading one more book before He has me address this topic. The topic of counseling is serious and causing a lot of division in our churches. It’s even possible that lives have been lost based on c…

The month of May is Mental Health Awareness month. I don’t normally talk exclusively about mental illness on this podcast, but I am taking the entire month of May to specifically address this topic.

Have you ever felt your day was uneventful with nothing really happening in the spiritual realm? Maybe you felt nothing was accomplished, you didn’t grow, or God seemed quiet and distant. Thankfully, scripture tells us that even on the most mundane of days, God does behind-the-scenes miracles on a constant basis, and is always making our day specta…

There is a subtle but powerful lie the devil is telling us that tremendously limits our impact for Christ. This lie keeps us full of enough fear to prevent us from taking action, thus preventing God from demonstrating His power in us and through us. If I said, “I prayed and asked God to teach me patience,” what would most people say in response? “O…

The power of positive thinking alone, from a bird’s eye view, is scriptural. It is part of renewing the mind. Thinking positive thoughts and choosing to see the good in circumstances aligns with scripture. But, gaining peace by thinking positive things alone, without the correct motive, anchor, or compass of the word of God can lead to error and ge…

“We are not loving ourselves because of who we are, but Whose we are and who we are in Him!” There is so much we need to add to our last discussion on self-love (Episode 21) to make sure we are staying in alignment with scripture. We want to be sure we are not applying this truth in a worldly way because then it will be mixed with error. In this ep…

Has a big trial entered your life and you feel like everything is now standing still? Is there something you are waiting for and life feels stuck until it arrives? Feeling stuck, trapped, or paralyzed by circumstances is not where God wants us to live. Have you considered that the trial or what you are waiting for is not a roadblock, but is actuall…

I had a rough morning over the weekend, with a lot of bullying going on in the battleground of my mind.

Listen in as I contemplate how God wants us to fee…

I got to spend some time talking with a friend last week, and she mentioned briefly that some people hold the belief that God doesn’t want to make us happy, He wants to make us holy. My friend believes scripture supports the idea that God wants us happy, and so do I. But that statement got my wheels ‘a turnin.’ Is our purpose to be holy, or is bein…

This week God revealed His subtle wisdom found in an ordinary moment of my life by using the chaotic ambiance of my coffee shop as a backdrop for a lesson on carrying burdens and taking on the stress around us. Are you shouldering the burdens of loved ones and the world and finding it too heavy to bear? Are you sacrificing your well-being for burde…

Do you ever get discouraged when you don't see much fruit from your labor for Christ? God doesn't always allow us to see the results of our ministry, our service, our parenting, our sacrifice. This can make it feel we are not having an impact on those around us. It can make us feel that our work is wasted, unseen, or in vain. But God has some very …

When we have stress that has compounded over time, it can cause the limbic system to malfunction, resulting in a chronic stress response which then results in symptoms. Renewing the mind is a key factor in disrupting this stress response. When we combine renewing the mind with prayer and breathing, we can help this healing process take place on an …

How does revival happen? When we look at how our world is today and we say, “Our country needs revival,” are we expecting someone else to start it? Are we thinking it’s someone else’s job? Are we wondering how it can even be done? In today’s episode, we talk about how revival actually starts with us, one person at a time. It starts with you. It sta…

Have you ever been trapped in the blinding lies of the evil one? That was my story this past week.

Helping ourselves recover from pain or trauma, should never empower us with pride, self-reliance, or vengeance.

We often wear an identity that was given to us by someone else. But do we have to conform to the value placed on us by others? Are we destined to only live up to the potential others think we are capable of? To Christ, our value is so great that we were worth dying for. But to humans, our value varies drastically based on whose eyes are viewing us.…

Stress is a perception. Our job as Christians is to perceive that stress through the lens of Christ, which should be stress reducing. But when we don’t do this, when we don’t go through life choosing Christ’s mind, stress becomes chronic, our health is effected, and it causes symptoms. In this episode we explore the science behind how our thoughts …
