The Love Offering The Love Offering

The peace we long for begins with coming to the end of ourselves.

There are inescapable aspects of life we are all marked by. We have less control than we want, more anxiety than we're comfortable with and just enough insecurity to continually remind us of our shortcomings. To experience these things is to be human. We aren't superheroes and invincibility isn't an option.

But humility is.

Whether we've incorrectly defined it or underestimated its relevance to our daily life, humility is the missing piece for the security, strength and confidence we all want. It's time to stop trying so hard to avoid our limitations or overcompensate for them. God has better for us and it begins with bowing low in humility.

Dr. Joel Muddamalle is on the show to help us:

Overcome the fear of being "found out" or looking like a fraud by realizing God's intent for shortcomings and weaknesses.
Walk through hurtful situations in the most God-honoring way by gaining a true understanding of biblical humility.
Answer the question "why do bad things happen to good people?" by learning a perspective shift that will change how you process suffering.
Know confidently that you're living with purpose and being used by God through seven ways to practically live like Him today.
Be led by the biblical definition of self-awareness so you can experience the unexpected ways it brings safety and security to your life.
Stop believing the lie that theology is out of touch or too difficult to comprehend as Joel shows you how to dig into scripture and study it yourself.

Join us to discover weakness is not your enemy. Planted in the soil of humility, weakness becomes a means to gaining more strength and more peace.

Comparison can feel like a never-ending struggle. The whole measuring up to friends and influencers on social media? It's a lot. Everyone has their own idea of what we should be like. 

Shannon Popkin and Lee Nienhuis are on the show to help you break free from the comparison trap and embrace the incredible life that Jesus has in store for you. Join us to discover new freedom, confidence, and influence by adopting Jesus's "me-free" mindset in this crazy, measure-up world.

Aging. Grateful. Those are two words you don't usually see in a sentence together. Culture tells us that aging involves wrinkles, extra pounds, arthritis, and graying hair. And its answer to aging's many problems? Fight back!

And we do, wearing ourselves out physically, emotionally, and spiritually in the process.

But the Bible speaks about aging differently—that each year is a gift from God. Join us as Heather Creekmore talks about Aging Gratefully. She is offering us humorous encouragement and sincere hope for this stage of life by pointing us each day to something we have to be thankful for in our current seasons. She guides you in prayer, giving words to your practice of gratitude, and then gets you moving to put your thanksgiving into action. Tune in to find reasons to laugh out loud, reminders to live abundantly, and a solid rationale for why aging and grateful really do belong together.

In a world that expects near perfection from people in ministry, it is hard to be honest about struggles of being a pastor's wife or a woman in ministry--let alone have a sense of humor about it!

Jessica Taylor, Stephanie Gilbert, and Jenna Allen are on the show sharing a safe place for pastors' wives and women in ministry to be their most authentic selves.

Join us as we address topics such as how to smash stereotypes, deal with marital issues, make friends, and overcome parenting anxiety. They remind pastors' wives (and the people in their congregations) that God doesn't expect them to be superhuman.

If you're a pastor's wife--by calling, by choice, or by circumstance--you'll find relief, renewal, and refreshment in today’s episode.

Tired of trying to be enough? The truth is you were never meant to be, no matter what culture might tell you.

Christian women today are bombarded with confusing messaging–they are supposed to do and be it all but also die to themselves. They are supposed to believe that women can do anything and also surrender everything to God. Adding to that pressure, many women feel stuck in their current reality–spinning on the hamster wheel of life. They scroll past images that tell them everyone else has it together and is experiencing a purpose-filled, adventurous, fun, loving, and God-honoring life. Overwhelmed and at a loss, most women go one of two places: defeat or self-help empowerment, even Christian self-help.

Becky Kiser is on the show talking about her book But God Can. She's helping us realize this truth: on our own, we were never meant to be enough—that is the gospel message, that is why Jesus came. But God Can get you unstuck and find a purpose you have never known! You will identify the lies you've internalized, replace those with new truths, and find freedom through realistic, practical, and life-changing strategies.
Join us to:

find freedom from lies as she changes how she thinks,
identify what God says is actually true,
remember that God is more than capable of doing anything,
discover how He has uniquely created her, and
propel her into the abundant life of deep purpose.

Tune in to realize you don't have to be enough because God is more than enough! On your own, you can't, but God totally can!
