The Version of You God Is Trying to Kill (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if following Jesus isn’t about becoming a better version of yourself… but letting the old version of you die? Your pride. Your need for control. Your desire for approval. Your plans. Your sin. The parts of yourself you’re still trying to hold onto. Jesus never called us to simply add Him into the life we already wanted. He said to deny ourselves, take up our cross daily, and follow Him. And that kind of surrender can be uncomfortable. Because it’s easy to say, “God, Your will be done” until
You Can’t Heal in the Life You Keep Running Back To (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why do we keep going back to the very things we prayed for God to free us from? Sometimes it’s a relationship. Sometimes it’s a sin, a habit, a lifestyle, a friend group, or simply an old version of ourselves. We know it wasn’t good for us. We remember asking God to help us get out. But when following Him gets uncomfortable, the past can suddenly start looking a lot better than we remember it. The Israelites did the same thing. God miraculously freed them from slavery in Egypt, yet when the wild
Are You Following God, or Just Using Him? | 1 Samuel 4–7 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s easy to ask God to bless our plans. It’s harder to let Him change them. Israel brought the Ark of the Covenant into battle expecting victory—and still lost. What happened? And could we be making a similar mistake in our own relationship with God? In this episode, Luke and Mitch unpack 1 Samuel 4–7: the capture of the Ark, the fall of Dagon, and Israel’s return to God. These chapters challenge us to look honestly at our faith, the things we put before God, and whether we’re willing to follow
You Feel Called by God… So Why Are You Still Stuck? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You believe God has called you to something more. But right now, your life looks nothing like what you’ve been praying for. How do you keep going when you can’t see any progress? Before David faced Goliath, he had already been anointed. And yet, he still had sheep to take care of. In this video, we’re talking about trusting God when your circumstances haven’t caught up with what you believe He’s calling you toward. We’ll look at David’s story, the value of preparation, and how to take your next
Why I Stopped Drinking (Even Though I Enjoyed It) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I enjoyed drinking. I was usually the guy making plans, getting everyone together, and finding somewhere to go out. So when I felt God calling me to stop, giving it up wasn’t easy. I started drinking at 18 after my hockey career ended. In this video, I share why I quit, what made that decision difficult, and what God has been teaching me about obedience and discipline - especially when it means letting go of something I still enjoy. This is my personal conviction, not me telling every Christian
