We continue our seven-part series today with our third installment. We are working our way through Psalm 139, which paints the perfect picture of beautiful you. If you believe every word of this psalm, you will never doubt your worth. If you speak aloud each declaration I give throughout this series, you will empower your…
Today’s episode is the second installment in a seven-part series drawn from Psalm 139. The verses you’ll hear read today absolutely affirm that God is always with you. In fact, you can never sink to a pit so low that God can’t reach in and rescue you. You can never ascend to a peak so…
This week, I begin a seven-part series that will take us all the way through the verses of Psalm 139, a psalm that holds great significance for this podcast. Psalm 139 provides the foundation for my soon-to-be-released book, which served as the catalyst for launching this podcast. In other words, if it weren’t for the…

Yesterday, my church sang about the powerful name of Jesus. If ever a spoken word had the power of life and death, it would certainly be the name of Jesus. I taught my children to speak His name whenever they were afraid. If the word on our tongues is the name of Jesus, then we…
Before launching into his sermon yesterday, my pastor looked directly into the camera lens to speak to the people who watched online. He acknowledged those of us physically present with him, and asked us to grant him a moment to address those who were not in the building—specifically those who could have been seated there…

When she and her husband asked if the seats were taken, I said I’d been saving them for spirit-filled people who would magnify God’s presence during worship. They laughed. I was only half joking.
