    The Life You Want Will Cost You

    Everyone wants more peace, more freedom, better relationships, a stronger marriage, a deeper faith, but what if the life you're asking God for requires letting go of the life you're still trying to protect? In today's Morning Charge, Joshua challenges us to examine what we're unwilling to surrender. Many believers pray for breakthrough while continuing to cling to old habits, old mindsets, unhealthy comforts, and familiar patterns. Yet Jesus calls us to deny ourselves, take up our cross daily, and follow Him. Through practical examples and biblical teaching, Joshua explains why lasting transformation begins with surrender, not striving. Real freedom isn't found by improving your old life, it's found by allowing God to make you new. This episode explores what it means to leave behind complacency, embrace obedience, renew your mind, and trust God with the future He has prepared for you. If you've been asking God for change while feeling stuck in the same patterns, today's conversation may be exactly what you need. Episode Summary: Discover why the life God has for you requires surrendering the old one.  Learn how old habits, comfort, and compromise keep us from spiritual growth.  Understand why renewing your mind is essential to lasting transformation.  See how obedience produces freedom, peace, and spiritual maturity.  Be challenged to identify what God may be asking you to lay down today.Send us a message Join The Morning Charge LIVE Monday-Friday at 7:30 AM CT on TikTok.

    You Cannot Pour From a Dry Place

    Many people are still functioning, serving, leading, parenting, working, and caring for others, but they are doing it from a spiritually dry place. In this episode of The Morning Charge, Joshua Hommes talks honestly about what happens when we keep pouring out without returning to Jesus to be filled. Spiritual dryness eventually shows up in our attitudes, reactions, relationships, patience, discernment, and ability to carry everyday responsibilities. Using passages including John 15:4-5, Psalm 23:1-3, Isaiah 40:31, Luke 10:38-42, Luke 5:16, Matthew 11:28-30, and 3 John 1:2, Joshua explains why abiding in Christ is not an optional part of the Christian life. It is the source from which everything else flows. This episode offers practical encouragement for anyone who feels tired, emotionally drained, spiritually empty, or stretched too thin. The answer is not always doing more, trying harder, or pushing through. Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is slow down, sit in God’s presence, and reconnect to the source. Episode Summary:  Spiritual dryness eventually affects your attitude, patience, relationships, and discernment.  Abiding in Jesus is the source of lasting strength and fruit.  Busyness can hide dryness, but it cannot heal it.  Jesus modeled the importance of withdrawing to pray and be with the Father.  Strength is renewed by waiting on the Lord, not by constantly pushing harder.Send us a message Join The Morning Charge LIVE Monday-Friday at 7:30 AM CT on TikTok.

    Stop Calling It Discernment... It's Fear!

    There are times when God asks us to step into something we've never done before. The question is, are we truly using discernment, or are we allowing fear to keep us comfortable? In today's Morning Charge, Joshua challenges one of the most common spiritual misconceptions many believers face: confusing fear with wisdom. While discernment is a gift from God that helps us recognize His leading, fear often disguises itself as caution, hesitation, or "waiting on the Lord." Left unchecked, it keeps us from walking into the very purpose God has prepared for us. Drawing from Scripture including 2 Timothy 1, Proverbs 3, James 3, Numbers 13–14, Isaiah 30, and John 10, this episode explores how God's voice leads us toward obedience while fear always pushes us toward self-protection. You'll discover practical ways to identify false reasoning, recognize trusted voices in your life, and develop the courage to obey God even when the next step feels uncertain. If you've been wrestling with whether God is calling you into something new, this conversation will encourage you to stop magnifying the obstacles and start trusting the One who promised to walk with you every step of the way.  Episode Summary: Learn the difference between biblical discernment and fear disguised as wisdom.  Discover why fear often sounds spiritual while quietly keeping us comfortable.  See how Scripture calls believers to trust God instead of demanding complete control.  Be challenged to identify areas where fear has delayed your obedience.  Take practical steps toward walking confidently in God's calling. Send us a message Join The Morning Charge LIVE Monday-Friday at 7:30 AM CT on TikTok.

    Is That Me... or Is That You, Lord?

    One of the biggest questions believers ask is, "Is this God speaking, or is this just me?" In this episode of The Morning Charge, Joshua Hommes explores how to discern God's voice in everyday life. Feelings can be strong, opportunities can look good, and emotions can convince us that we're headed in the right direction. But how do we know whether we're following God's direction or simply chasing our own desires? Together, we'll look at what Scripture teaches about hearing God's voice, surrendering our own ambitions, testing every decision against God's Word, seeking wise counsel, and allowing the Holy Spirit to shape our hearts. We'll also examine why God's direction doesn't always feel comfortable, and why true peace is found in obedience rather than convenience. If you've ever wrestled with making a major decision, wondered whether you're hearing from God, or simply want to grow in spiritual discernment, this episode offers practical, biblical encouragement to help you walk confidently with Jesus. Because the closer we walk with Him, the more familiar His voice becomes. Episode Summary:  Learn practical biblical principles for discerning God's voice.  Discover why strong emotions aren't always the same as divine direction.  Understand how surrender, Scripture, and wise counsel work together.  Explore how God shapes our desires as we delight ourselves in Him.  Be encouraged to walk closely with Jesus so His voice becomes increasingly familiar.Send us a message Join The Morning Charge LIVE Monday-Friday at 7:30 AM CT on TikTok.

    Stop Blaming and Start Growing

    In this episode of The Morning Charge, Joshua teaches on the danger of living in blame and the freedom that comes when we begin taking personal responsibility before God. Blame may protect the flesh for a moment, but it keeps us stuck in the same cycles, wounds, reactions, and patterns. Using scriptures like James 1:23-26, Genesis 3, Psalm 139:23-24, Matthew 15:18-19, Luke 6:45, Hebrews 12:15, Proverbs 28:13, 2 Corinthians 13:5, and Luke 18:9-14, this teaching challenges listeners to stop only dealing with surface symptoms and allow the Lord to reveal the root. Joshua talks about forgiveness, bitterness, offense, pride, insecurity, maturity, and the importance of asking, “Lord, what are You showing me in this?” instead of always asking, “Who can I blame for this?” This episode is a call to honesty, repentance, healing, and growth. If the same battles keep repeating in your life, this teaching will help you begin asking better questions and surrendering the deeper issues to Jesus. Episode Summary Blame protects the flesh, but honesty opens the door to healing.Repeated cycles often reveal roots that have not been dealt with.Adam and Eve modeled the first blame shift in Genesis 3.Jesus teaches that what comes out of the mouth flows from the heart.Growth begins when we stop blaming people and start letting God search us.Send us a message Join The Morning Charge LIVE Monday-Friday at 7:30 AM CT on TikTok.

    Before God Takes You Higher, He Builds You Deeper

    On today’s episode of The Morning Charge, Joshua teaches on why God starts with foundations before He builds anything lasting in our lives.

This episode challenges listeners to stop rushing the process and let Jesus become the true foundation of everything they are building. Whether it is your home, marriage, ministry, business, calling, or personal walk with God, what is underneath will determine what can stand when pressure comes. Key takeaways from this episode: God is not careless in how He builds.Storms do not create your foundation; they reveal it.Hearing truth is not the same as building on truth.Foundations are formed through daily faithfulness and obedience.Before God takes you higher, He has to build you deeper.The strength of your foundation determines the safety of your increase.Jesus Christ must be the foundation of everything.Send us a message Join The Morning Charge LIVE Monday-Friday at 7:30 AM CT on TikTok.
