The Bible Speaks - Sanctification
07/26/2026

Send us Fan Mail

Sanctification should show up at home, in the workplace, in the grocery store, in business decisions, in private conversations, in how we respond when we are offended, and in how we treat people who cannot do anything for us.


The Bible Speaks - Waiting on God
07/19/2026

Send us Fan Mail

If you are in a season of waiting, do not mistake it for abandonment. God may be building a depth in you that can carry the very thing you have been praying for. Study the Word. Pray with honesty. Ask for wisdom. Let the Holy Spirit correct your thinking. Because when your heart is rooted in God, your path becomes clearer, your steps become steadier, and your life becomes more pleasing to Him.


The Bible Speaks - The State of the Union Revisited
07/12/2026

Send us Fan Mail

One union matters more than any political one—the body of Christ. Today, we're discovering what true union looks like and why the state of believers is always stronger than the state of any nation. 


The Bible Speaks - Interdependence Day
07/05/2026

Send us Fan Mail

Many of the answers we are praying for do not drop from heaven in isolation. They arrive through people, through relationships, counsel, partnership, and through the unique gifts God has distributed among His people.


The Bible Speaks - Am I Blessed?
06/28/2026

Send us Fan Mail

The world often measures blessing by money, status, possessions, and comfort. But Scripture gives us a larger view. Being blessed means God is present, guiding, providing, correcting, strengthening, and using your life for His purpose.


The Bible Speaks - A Father's Love
06/21/2026

Send us Fan Mail

As we celebrate Father’s Day, we pause to recognize that fatherhood is not just biological. Fathers do not only give life physically; according to God’s design, fathers are also called to give life spiritually. A father is called to speak identity, provide direction, offer protection, model integrity, and create spiritual covering for those entrusted to him.


The Bible Speaks - Artificial Intelligence
06/14/2026

Send us Fan Mail

God is not in heaven reacting to innovation like He didn’t see it coming. He is the Creator. He is the source of wisdom. Whether inventors acknowledge Him or not, every human mind that discovers, builds, designs, and innovates only does so because God made that mind possible in the first place. 


The Bible Speaks - When Love Calls
06/07/2026

Send us Fan Mail

Love must move from our mouths into our habits. It must shape how we speak, lead, serve, parent, how we do business, and how we respond to people who can do nothing for us in return.


The Bible Speaks - God Where Are You?
05/31/2026

Send us Fan Mail

Not everything painful experience that touches your life was specifically sent to you. We live in a fallen world. People make sinful decisions. Systems are broken. Bodies fail. Hearts break. Sometimes you suffer because of the ripple effects of life in a world that is far from God’s design. 


The Bible Speaks - The Kingdom Entrepreneur 2.0
05/24/2026

Send us Fan Mail

A Kingdom entrepreneur must understand that excellence is spiritual too. Character matters. Integrity matters. Skill matters. Because many times, what God wants to send to someone else is going to be delivered by you.


The Bible Speaks - Why Trials Come
05/17/2026

Send us Fan Mail

Because our intellect is strong. Our flesh is persuasive. Our experience tells us we already know what to do. We convince ourselves that logic alone is enough, that hustle will fix it, that one more plan will save us. And when we keep pushing past what God is trying to show us, sometimes He allows a trial to get our attention back.


The Bible Speaks - Angels
05/10/2026

Send us Fan Mail

In a world filled with uncertainty, delays, accidents, spiritual warfare, and situations we do not fully understand, God reminds us that we are never moving through life alone. When we are walking in His will, and even while He is leading us into greater understanding of that will, He has angelic protection working on our behalf in ways we can see and in ways we may never know.


The Bible Speaks - Kingdom Entrepreneurs
05/03/2026

Send us Fan Mail

Do not separate your faith from your work. Let the Word guide your decisions. Let the Holy Spirit shape your leadership. Let Jesus be seen in your standards, your service, and your stewardship. Because when God’s people do business God’s way, business becomes ministry. 


The Bible Speaks - Fellowship
04/26/2026

Send us Fan Mail

For some people, your fellowship may be their first real encounter with the character of God. Before they ever believe a sermon, they may first experience His love through your patience. Before they trust Scripture, they may first see His kindness through your care. Before they enter a church, they may first encounter His peace in the safety of your presence.


The Bible Speaks - Filled With Power
04/19/2026

Send us Fan Mail

Many of us are trying to carry spiritual assignments with natural strength. We want to help people, love people, lead people, build stable homes, restore broken relationships, and walk in peace, but we keep trying to do it out of our own energy. That is why we get overwhelmed.


The Bible Speaks - The answer is the Word of God
04/12/2026

Send us Fan Mail

If you are searching for answers today, start where the answer has always been. Open your Bible. Sit with the Lord. Ask the Holy Spirit for understanding. Read slowly. Read prayerfully. Read expecting God to speak. Because He will.


Words of Inspiration - Because He Got Up
04/05/2026

Send us Fan Mail

Because He got up, we inherited power. We inherited access. We inherited authority. Not because we are Jesus, but because His Spirit now lives in us and equips us for such a time as this.


The Bible Speaks - Why You Are Struggling
03/29/2026

Send us Fan Mail

You were not brought to earth merely to pay bills, survive pressure, and protect your small circle. You were brought here for God’s glory. And in that purpose, He has given you gifts to serve others.


The Bible Speaks - Is It Worth It?
03/22/2026

Send us Fan Mail

This is a moment of clarity about how God's provision works and what's required to position yourself for it


The Bible Speaks - Who are you listening to?
03/15/2026

Send a text

Whose voice is shaping your decisions? Whose philosophy is guiding your path? Whose definition of success are you chasing? Make sure it's Christ. Because every other voice, no matter how convincing, will ultimately lead you somewhere you don't want to go.




The Bible Speaks - Uncertain Times
03/08/2026

Send a text

If all we have to do is study the word of God, allow the Holy Spirit to give us clarity and understanding, model Jesus's life as a servant leader, and trust the process, then "uncertainty" is no longer anything to fear. 


The Bible Speaks - The State of the Union
03/01/2026

Send a text

The state of the union for believers is awesome. Not because circumstances are perfect. Not because politics align with our preferences. Not because the economy is strong or the culture is friendly. The state of our union is awesome because we're connected to Christ, we're heirs with Him, and we're guaranteed an inheritance that can't be shaken.


The Bible Speaks - What else do you need?
02/22/2026

Send a text

You have Jesus, the truth that anchors you, the way that guides you, the life that empowers you. That's sufficient for every trial, every question, every challenge. Stop looking for answers outside of Him. He is the answer. 


The Bible Speaks - Modern Day Prophets
02/15/2026

Send a text

You don't have to be a Bible scholar because the Lord uses the experiences we have and His deliverance as our tools for reaching others. Your story of God's grace, healing, provision, or deliverance is a prophetic message to someone facing what you've already survived. 


The Bible Speaks - Do You Know Who You Are?
02/08/2026

Send us a text

Your identity isn't just for your benefit, it's for God's glory through blessing others. When you walk in who you are, people see God's power. When you operate in your calling, they witness His faithfulness. When you use your gifts to serve, they experience His love.


The Bible Speaks - It's Cold Outside
02/01/2026

Send us a text

The cold outside isn't just weather. It's the chill of a society retreating into selfishness. But believers don't have to participate in that cold. We can be the warmth. We can be the hand that reaches out when everyone else is pulling back. We can be proof that even in the hardest economic times, love doesn't freeze.


The Bible Speaks - The Seasons of Life
01/25/2026

Send us a text

Don’t measure your season by how it feels—measure it by what God is forming in you. And don’t fear the new thing—ask God for spiritual perception to recognize it. Because the same God who brought you through your last season is already standing in your next one.


Words of Inspiration - Trust the Process

01/22/2026

01/21/2026

This verse captures the miraculous power at work in the early church, demonstrating that miracles were not just extraordinary events, but purposeful acts of God. Today, we’ll explore the purpose of miracles in Scripture and how we too can bring miraculous change into the world around us.


Words of Inspiration - Foreshadowing Jesus (revisited)
01/20/2026

Send us a text

Throughout the Bible, we see incredible examples of how God, in His divine wisdom, foreshadowed the coming of Jesus Christ, showing us that He is the solution for all that we need. Today, we’ll explore five powerful examples from Scripture that point directly to Jesus, and we’ll conclude by discussing how we can reflect Jesus in our lives today.


Words of Inspiration - Indivisible (revisited)
01/19/2026

Send us a text

God’s love is so deeply intertwined with His character that it cannot be undone. This spiritual indivisibility is what gives us the confidence to move forward boldly in life, knowing that we are secure in Him.


The Bible Speaks - It's Okay to Ask God Why (Revisited)
01/18/2026

Send us a text

When we ask God why in our suffering, it’s not wrong. Like Job, we may not get the exact answers we want, but God offers His presence, reminding us that He is still in control, even in the chaos. 


Words of Inspiration - Well Doing
01/16/2026

Send us a text

I want to speak directly to those of you who are pouring into difficult situations or relationships when helping someone feels overwhelming. I want to remind you that God sees your efforts, and He will bless you for your faithfulness.

01/14/2026

Send us a text

There are people right now praying for solutions, breakthroughs, and hope. God often answers those prayers through us. But to be used by God, we must be fully committed to becoming the vessels He can work through. Let’s explore what it means to live a life of dedication.


Words of Inspiration - Empowerment
01/13/2026

Send us a text

Empowerment is not just about giving people the tools to succeed—it's about helping them draw out the God-given gifts, wisdom, and potential already placed inside them. But before we can empower others effectively, we must first be empowered ourselves.


Words of Inspiration - Guiding
01/12/2026

Send us a text

When we think of guiding others in the context of relationships, we often think of giving advice or pointing people in the right direction. But biblical guidance goes much deeper. It’s about commitment—laying down your life, not in a literal sense but through selfless sacrifice. Putting your plans aside for God’s purpose and the service of others.


The Bible Speaks - Accountable
01/11/2026

Send us a text

You are accountable—to your family, your workplace, your community, and most importantly, to God. When you live with accountability, you not only grow personally but also become a powerful example of Christ’s love in action.


Words of Inspiration - The book of Nahum Introduction
01/09/2026

Send us a text

As we study Nahum together, we'll see God's righteous anger against systematic cruelty, His defense of the vulnerable, and His ultimate sovereignty over all nations. We'll be reminded that no evil is too powerful to escape His judgment and no oppressor too mighty to face His wrath.
