    2.3 The Power to Conceive

    Would it put your mind at ease to know God is the one working in you to bring about the fulfillment of your dreams?  In an age where people are always talking about applying pressure, it can be easy to believe that you are the one who has to do all the heavy lifting. But in today's message we're reminded that God is the one who is at work in us to will and to work for His good pleasure and as long as we find our confidence in Him we can maintain the courage to keep pushing through all of life's situations.

    2.2 The Struggle to Believe

    On the second episode of season 2 we're talking about the struggle to believe. It's one thing to hear a word from God but it's another to actually accept it and walk in the power He's given you to see your faith activated. We'll look at Mary and how she responded to the news that as a virgin she would become the mother of a newborn king. How do you respond when you receive news you weren't expecting?

    I Stopped Praying

    After almost a year and a half I’m back with a new episode of the Pain and Purpose Podcast! I’m sharing a big reason I stepped away - namely my heart was broken from hope deferred and I felt like God owed me something! In seasons when God seems to be unresponsive to our requests it’s very easy to become discouraged but my hope is that through listening to this episode you’ll find the strength to keep going.
