    The Battle For Your Identity (Discovering Who You Really Are)

    There is a war for your identity, and it’s not just in our culture. It starts in your own heart. In today’s episode, we expose how the lies you believe can grow into a false version of who you were meant to be, how the only way to know who you really are is by seeking God, why your identity is a specific gift for the world, and how knowing who you are is the key to overcoming imposter syndrome and living with confidence.

    Don't Settle For The Shadow

    Don't Settle For The Shadow

    In this message based on Mark 11 and Hebrews 10, we explore how Jesus' actions in the Temple signify a call to move beyond mere religious rituals and embrace the transformative power of a life surrendered to Him. We will see what Jesus has to say about the true essence of worship, confronting our idols, and who we are called to be as the Church.

Relatable and Applicable

I have been processing a lot since one of my dream pursuits ended, after God had shared that the dream wasn’t meant for me back in February 2023. I grieved the loss of that dream but I hadn’t believed that being Jesus’ disciple and following his will would be greater and better than any dream I had.

I have been listening to this podcast since Fall 2023, and Wade’s own testimony is so relatable. What he and his guests share are so insightful and encouraging, especially in the most recent episode from Wade’s wife’s second appearance on this show. I just received Wade’s book for Christmas and I’m encouraged by what I’ve read so far.

God is using this podcast and Wade’s book in my life. Thank you Wade.

Rest, Vitamins and Contentment Oh My!

The episode with Jane Williams is a must listen! If I didn’t know better, we could be related! (My maiden name is Williams). I am also a enneagram 3, and Im very ambitious, driven and I know how to get things done, but I struggle with rest. For so long rest has been like a 4-letter word and I struggle with stopping and its negatively impacted my physical and mental health. A few weeks ago, God convicted showed me how rest is actually the 4th commandment. I had no idea! Me constantly in go-mode was actually a sin! Thank you Wade and Jane for your transparency and shedding light on sensitive topics like anxiety, depression and other mental health issues.

HungerGames❤️❤️❤️ ,

Wade Joye is my dad

I’m biased because I love him so much.
