Hello, friend. I hope you're doing well today. We're beginning a new series of episodes this week, tackling the topic of fear. Fear comes up a lot in the teachings of Jesus. In fact, the most common command issued by Jesus is some version of "Do not fear." Easier said than done, right? But with God's help, it's possible, my friend. You can fear less tomorrow than you do today.
Hello, friend. I hope you're doing well today. This week on the podcast we're wrapping up our series exploring the profound gift of God's grace. If you've missed any episodes, I invite you to go back and catch up. My prayer is you will receive this great gift that meets your greatest need, and that you will learn what happens when graces reach into every part of your life. Let grace get you.
Hello, my friend. We make mistakes, don't we? We make stupid decisions, some of use more than others. We sin. And God, in his kindness, has given us a tool to deal with it. To resolve the regret or shame left behind by those bad decisions. He has given us confession.
The stress of the sandwich generation is real, but extremely underestimated. People don't talk about it enough. How do you navigate the burdens and blessings of caring for young children, as well as caring for your aging parents...all at once? How do you navigate that stress while you're also trying to run a household, keep a marriage intact, provide for your family, keep your job, and manage your mental and emotional health all the while? Theologian Joel Muddamalle sits down with me to process the stress he's dealing with in this season of life, caring for his aging parents and the many needs that come with that, all while managing a household and young children of his own. If you're dealing with the blessings and burdens of being the sandwich generation - this episode will encourage you and give you some practical suggestions of how to manage this season well, set healthy boundaries, and care for yourself in the process - so that caring for others doesn't end up destroying you. If you enjoyed this episode, you need to check out Soul Care and learn how to prevent burnout, and care for your own soul as you care for others.

Hello, friend. Thank you for joining me this week. If you've missed some episodes or are just tuning in for the first time, this is a great place to start. We're talking about what happens when grace happens, something I didn't fully understand until I was years into ministry. I pray you understand it today.
Could your everyday decisions actually be acts of worship?
This week on The High Note, Tauren Wells and Phil Wickham sit down for a real conversation about what it means to live a life of worship...not just sing about it.
They dive into songwriting, creativity, and the tension between creating for ourselves vs. creating for God. This conversation will challenge you to see your gifts in a new way, not just as personal expression, but as an act of obedience, service, and eternal impact.
Sit down for a conversation with Levi, Jennie, Lysa TerKeurst, and Joel Muddamalle for a conversation on studying the Bible, seeing Jesus, and how to make sense of the hard parts of scripture.

When I hear the name Mark Lowry, like many of you, I start to laugh because he's one of the funniest people I've ever met. But Mark also has a heart that challenges me and draws me closer to Jesus every time I'm around him.
On this episode of 1 Degree we'll talk about how he carved out his place in the Christian music landscape, his relationship with Bill Gaither, and whatever rabbit trail we end up following. Get ready for a really fun conversation.
Sit down with the Luskos as they deep dive into journals and notes and reflect on all they saw God do in 2022.
