    6. Holistic Success

    Click here for more on this topic and other free resources - https://www.drjimrichards.com What if the reason your success in one area keeps costing you peace, relationships, or health is because you were taught to pursue it the wrong way? In this message, I challenge the idea of vertical priorities and introduce a biblical approach that actually works in real life. Most believers have been taught to stack life into priorities: God first, family second, work next, yet everything we do affects everything else we value. When we live by this model, we end up jumping from one responsibility to another, feeling guilty, stressed, and often damaging the very relationships we are trying to protect. The real issue isn’t commitment. It’s perspective. Once you understand how God intended priorities to work, everything changes. I explain what it means to put God at the center instead of the top, so that your walk with Him increases the quality of your marriage, family, work, health, and peace. This is what I call holistic success. I also explore the biblical meaning of peace and prosperity through the word shalom, and why God gives us the power to get wealth without sorrow when success flows from wisdom and grace. If you’re tired of making progress in one area while losing ground somewhere else, this message will help you reset your priorities, protect what matters most, and pursue success God’s way, without leaving damage behind.

    5. The Authority Of Man

    Click here for more on this topic and other free resources - https://www.drjimrichards.com What if the reason your resolutions don’t last has nothing to do with discipline, willpower, or trying harder, but everything to do with what you believe about authority? In this message, I challenge one of the most common assumptions in Christianity and show you why understanding the authority God gave to mankind is essential for real, lasting change. Many believers have been taught that when Adam fell, man lost authority and the devil gained it. The problem is simple: the Bible never says that. Authority was never transferred to Satan. The enemy has no power over your life except what comes through deception. He steals, kills, and destroys by lies, not by authority. I also explain why authority is the right to choose and why you still have it. God gave man dominion on the earth, not over other people, but over creation and over himself. This is why Jesus came as the Son of Man and lived by the power of the Holy Spirit. Acts 10:38 shows us exactly how He lived, and that same Spirit works in us today. If you’ve struggled with resolutions that don’t last or felt unsure about pursuing what’s in your heart, this CyberChurch message will bring clarity and freedom. God is not hard to hear, and His will is not hidden. When your heart is open, you can move forward with confidence.

    4. Co-Creators With God

    Click here for more on this topic and other free resources - https://www.drjimrichards.com Most people think resolutions fail because they lack discipline or motivation. The real reason is usually much deeper than that. A resolution is actually a form of repentance. It’s simply changing your mind because you don’t want your life going in the same direction anymore. One of the biggest reasons people quit is loss of confidence. Every time you start something and don’t finish it, you train yourself to expect failure. Eventually, it doesn’t matter how much you trust God. You won’t trust yourself enough to follow through. I also address one of the most misunderstood ideas in Christianity: God’s sovereignty. God is not controlling everything. He created you in His likeness and image, which means He gave you real authority and real responsibility. Your life is not determined by fate, DNA, or circumstances. You were created to make choices and create outcomes with God. This message is about becoming a co-creator with God and understanding how your heart beliefs are shaping the world around you right now. If you want resolutions that actually work, this foundation changes everything. Join me this week in CyberChurch and learn how we can become “Co-Creators With God”.

    3. The Faith Of God

    Click here for more on this topic and other free resources - https://www.drjimrichards.com This is week three of our January series, Resolutions That Work. If you made resolutions this year and you’ve already broken them, or you’re close, you’re not alone. Most people don’t fail because they lack discipline. They fail because they don’t understand how faith actually works. In this week’s CyberChurch message, The Faith of God, I take you into Mark 11 and the story of the fig tree to show you why real change often starts invisibly. When Jesus spoke, nothing seemed to change at first, but the change had already begun at the root. Words spoken from the heart carry power, and many people cancel their own faith by speaking doubt, fear, or old beliefs about themselves before anything has time to manifest. If you want your decisions to last, they have to be rooted in who you are, not just what you want. That’s why I encourage you to spend time with my book, Wired for Success, Programmed for Failure. It will help you develop your heart so that what you build actually lasts.

    2. The Power Of Making Decisions

    Click here for more on this topic and other free resources - https://www.drjimrichards.com Most people make resolutions with good intentions, but very few understand the real power that makes change possible: decision-making. In this episode of Resolutions That Work, we talk about why people are afraid to make real decisions, and how that fear keeps them stuck in cycles of hoping, trying, and wavering. The Bible shows us that decision-making is not just willpower; it flows out of who we are as people created in the image and likeness of God. From the beginning, God gave mankind authority, real authority, to make choices that shape life on earth. When we don’t understand this, we either wait on God to do what He has already empowered us to do, or we assume our circumstances, our past, or even our biology override our choices. We also clear up the difference between unbelief and doubt. Unbelief is a lack of trust in God, but doubt is wavering between two options. When we waver, we struggle to receive, not because God has withheld anything, but because our hearts aren’t settled. Real decisions remove wavering and allow God’s grace to work powerfully in us. This teaching connects directly to what I share in my book Wired for Success: Programmed for Failure, that real success starts in the heart, not with pressure, fear, or religious striving. When your heart is aligned with truth, your decisions become stable, and your life begins to move in a new direction. If you’ve ever wondered why resolutions don’t last, join me this week in CyberChurch. This message will help you understand what’s missing and how to start making decisions in harmony with God that actually change your life.

    1. Resolutions That Work

    Click here for more on this topic and other free resources - https://www.drjimrichards.com Most people don’t quit because they don’t care. They quit because they were never taught how to make decisions they could actually live with. In this CyberChurch message, I explain why most resolutions fail and how unfinished decisions quietly undermine your confidence, not only in yourself but in your faith. This isn’t about trying harder or making promises you can’t keep. It’s about learning how to make decisions you will see through to the end without pressure, fear, or self-condemnation. When you lose confidence in yourself, everything around you starts to feel heavier, including what’s happening in the world. That’s why so many believers live anxious, not because God isn’t faithful, but because they don’t trust themselves to stay the course. In this message, I explain how knowing who you are in Christ changes the way you face challenges, why difficult times stop feeling like threats, and why repentance is really about changing your mind toward life, not dwelling on what’s wrong. This message will help you stop focusing on what you’re trying to leave behind and start clearly seeing who you’re becoming, so you can move forward with confidence, peace, and follow-through.

    4. Life At Its Best

    Click here for more on this topic and other free resources - https://www.drjimrichards.com What does “life at its best” really look like? Is it something reserved for heaven someday, or is it something God intended for you to experience right now? In this CyberChurch message, I want to walk with you through what Jesus actually promised when He said He came so we could have life, and have it more abundantly. In this episode, I use the picture of a treasure map to show how God has already made a way for us to experience that kind of life. But just like any journey, knowing the map exists isn’t enough. We have to choose to follow it, trust the One who gave it to us, and stay the course. This journey isn’t about suffering to earn God’s approval or trying harder to be “good enough.” It’s about truly knowing God, not just knowing about Him, and letting that relationship transform the way we live. We also talk honestly about righteousness, what it is and what it isn’t, and why being in Christ gives you full access to God, but living out your righteous nature is what protects and elevates your quality of life. This is where peace, healthy relationships, integrity, and joy begin to show up in practical ways. Join me this week in CyberChurch as we uncover the secret to experiencing "Life At Its Best".

    3. The Curse Is Broken

    Click here for more on this topic and other free resources - https://www.drjimrichards.com From childhood, most of us have heard that “Jesus is the reason for the season,” but we rarely connect Christmas to one of the most powerful truths in the New Covenant: the curse is broken. The birth of Jesus was not just the beginning of a sentimental story; it was the beginning of the end of fear, wrath, and separation from God. When Jesus came, lived, died, and was raised from the dead, He broke the curse of the law and removed the enmity that existed in our minds about God. Christmas is the announcement that God is no longer against us, that peace and goodwill toward man have been eternally established in the blood of Jesus. Sin did more than cause bad behavior; it distorted how we saw ourselves and how we saw God. When man believed he was less than who God said he was, fear became the automatic response to God’s presence. That fear turned every commandment, every law, and every warning into something interpreted through guilt and terror. We saw God as the source of the curse instead of the One trying to protect us from it. But at the cross, Jesus became our sin, took our punishment, satisfied wrath, and established what Isaiah calls the covenant of peace: a binding, eternal commitment that God would never again relate to us through anger and destruction, but through mercy and kindness in Christ. To say “the curse is broken” is not a religious slogan; it means your life no longer has to be defined by fear, worthlessness, shame, or the expectation of judgment. In Jesus, you are no longer a “sheep for the slaughter,” waiting for the next bad thing to happen because you think you deserve it. You stand in a new reality where God is for you, not against you. Faith becomes possible because fear is no longer your master. When you believe the report of what God accomplished through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, your heart can finally rest—and from that place, you can trust, follow, and live in the blessings of God. Join me this week in CyberChurch as we unwrap the greatest Christmas present God ever gave us: freedom from the curse and absolute peace with Him through the Lord Jesus Christ.
