When Saying No Means Being Left Out (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Have you ever felt left out because of your faith? Maybe you walked away from a situation because you knew it wasn't right. Maybe you skipped an event, conversation, or relationship because you wanted to honor God. And even when you know you made the right choice, being excluded can still hurt. In this episode of HEARTBEAT, we explore the tension between following Christ and wanting to fit in. For young Christians especially, the pressure to belong, the fear of missing out, and the desire for ap
When Everything Gets on Your Nerves (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We all have bad days. Maybe you wake up in a terrible mood, someone says the wrong thing, traffic pushes your buttons, and suddenly your frustration seems to control everything. But what do we do with those emotions when anger starts taking over?

Every person we encounter has a story, struggles we may never see, and a life that is deeply loved by God. Takeaways from this episode: We ra
What You're Missing in Your Bible Study (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Have you ever stood in front of a beautiful painting and realized there was far more to it than you noticed at first? The colors, lighting, symbols, and tiny details all work together to tell a deeper story. The longer you look, the more you discover. The same is true when we read the Bible. Scripture is rich with meaning, revealing God's character, His plan of redemption, and His love for His people. Even details that may seem ordinary, like the lampstand in the tabernacle, point to profound sp
