In today’s episode, we look at the heart of complaining and how we intentionally live lives of gratitude.

What does our testimony mean? How does it affect our lives and those around us? Elder Ryan Koehn shares his testimony and why it’s important we do too.

It doesn’t take long to find things in our world to be negative about but if we are not careful we can quickly become negative people. This is when our attitude is programmed to ignore the abundance of good that surrounds us and instead pays attention to the bad in people, situations, and events. Overcoming […]

In today’s episode, we continue to explore toxic thinking as we spend some time looking at our identity as parents as well as seasons of doubt.

Every person will have moments where they struggle with doubt. But doubt is not the enemy of faith. In fact, God can use our times of doubt to take our faith to levels it has never been before. The key is how we choose to approach our doubts.

Within every person is the need to know who they are, where they belong, and how they relate to the world. It comes down to knowing our identity. The crisis comes when we allow our thoughts to define our identity on anything other than Jesus. God longs for us to know who we are in […]

We’re back! In today’s episode, we dive deeper into our new sermon series, Toxic. We take some time to do our own toxic thinking audit and answer questions like, “Can Satan hear our thoughts?” and “What does it really mean to surrender?”.

There is a violent battle raging around us at all times. It is the battle for our minds, and this battle is vicious. It is unrelenting, it is intense, and it is unfair because our enemy does not fight fair because we are always with our thoughts. This battle cannot be ignored but it also […]

Israel has just crossed through the Jordan River by the power of God and is ready to start claiming the land of promise. God decided to have them start with one of the most fortified cities that they would come against. Before the conquest begins God makes sure that Joshua is in the correct position […]

The crossing of the Jordan River represents passing from one level of life to another. As Christians, God is always leading us to go deeper with Him and to do so requires us to live by faith. It takes faith to leave behind what we are familiar with, faith to step into a way that […]

A consistent truth of life is that change happens. Those shifts might be small or extremely significant, wanted or unwanted but no matter what change is part of life. The book of Joshua begins with a big change that has an impact on Joshua as an individual and for the entire nation of Israel. Within […]

As I prepare to leave Blessed Hope, I want to spend my last Sunday with you focused on 3 areas. I want to remind you of the true salvation that we all share. I want to admonish you to guard the true doctrine of the church. And finally, I want to encourage you to rest […]

As Job’s suffering continues – he wants answers from the God who is in control. He thinks he deserves them…but God thinks differently. Ultimately, God knows that Job’s questions (and ours) aren’t really about “why”…but “who.” We don’t need answers…we need God. And knowing God intimately will allow us the freedom to lament well.

In this episode, we continue in our summer series of testimonies…stories of how Jesus changes lives. Today, Shawna Kurth shares her story of faith.

In the middle of trials – many of us feel like our hope is fading. We wonder if these feelings will ever really go away or if circumstances will ever change. We can’t picture a reality where the hurt is less…so we wonder, why should we keep hoping? And why is God silent? Why won’t […]

While we know it’s true that no one is truly “good” – we still wonder why bad things happen to people who are trying to please God…or who are just minding their own business and trying to follow the rules? And what good is our faith in all of this? If our faith can’t spare […]
