Today's episode is about the blind man, whose persistence and passion brought him face to face with God. Although he was blind, he recognized what others around him could not, and his faith in Jesus cured his blindness. We are all blind to the divine at times. Do we have enough faith and courage to cry out to God like the blind man did and ask to be saved?

As we go further into the Nativity Fast and Advent, today's episode focuses on how with God, all things are possible, even if it doesn't always seem that way. What do you tell yourselves about what’s possible for you? Who decides what’s possible for you? If you feel like there is something you’re meant to do and the naysayers keep telling you it's impossible, give it to God, and he will make it happen. If it is His will, he will make it real.

“I must say a word about fear. It is life’s only true opponent. Only fear can defeat life. It is a clever, treacherous adversary, how well I know. It has no decency, respects no law or convention, shows no mercy. It goes for your weakest spot, which it finds with unerring ease. It begins in your mind, always. One moment you are feeling calm, self-possessed, happy. Then fear, disguised in the garb of mild-mannered doubt, slips into your mind like a spy." -Yann Martel

Today's episode focuses on our inner demons, the lies we tell ourselves, and how faith in our merciful and forgiving God can defeat them in the here and now.

Today’s message is: Your Past Doesn't Define You

“What if you were wrong? What if everything you ever believed was a lie? What if you missed your opportunity because you didn't know your worth? What if you settled on familiar, but God was trying to give you something better? What if you decided not to go backwards, but forward? What if doing what you have never done before was the answer to everything that didn't make sense? What if the answer wasn't to be found in words, but in action? What if you found the courage to do what you really wanted to do and doing it changed your whole life?” -Shannon L. Alder

This episode discusses how with courage and grace, we can change the course of our lives and be a force for good.
