In today’s society, the role of a Christian man or woman is skewed and always shifting in various directions. As the body of Christ, we sometimes tend to focus on one aspect of the faith, while neglecting or downplaying the other elements that are meant to bolster our walk with God, which would aid in our effectiveness as ambassadors in God’s Kingdom. The truth of the matter is that we all have some elements we can work on, but unless we’re aware of those impediments, then we cannot fully manifest the fullness of God’s plan in our lives. How do we put all of this together? We need to ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the deficiencies in ourselves; allow ourselves to accept them as elements that need to be worked on; seek God’s word on the matter; and to obey whatever He has commanded. We need to remember that as individuals who were made in the image and likeness of God, we are capable of achieving so much more, if we submit to the will and way of God; to where we become individuals whose natural inclination is to grow.

  1. System 1 and System 2 of Sanctification

    APR 23

    System 1 and System 2 of Sanctification

    In psychology, there are two methods of thinking that affect everyone in every situation. This is the philosophy of System 1 and System 2 – or in simpler terms, Fast Thinking and Slow Thinking. Now, these two tenants are predicated on your upbringing, your environment, what you ingest into your subconscious mind, and our general word-view. They are essential the building blocks of all the decisions you make and the consequences you ultimately live with. At one end of the spectrum, System 1 runs automatically, based on your presuppositions and habits you’ve adopted over time. It takes the sum of all experiences in their categorized subsections, and comes up with a quick solution, that is quick and concise. That in itself sounds tantalizing, considering our proclivity/inclination to get things done fast, but that same train of thought can cause heartache and a host of mistakes, since we are not really intentional with what we say or do, and in the case of a Christian, don’t allow the Holy Spirit to inspire and direct us down the true and definitive path of righteousness. On the other end of the spectrum, System 2 is slower in the way in which it produces results and interrogates information. It dives deep down into the subconscious mind and questions what is presented, and formulates a meticulous chain of steps to execute a more robust plan. With those two ideologies contending for dominance in theater of your mind, how do we act out both ends effectively and efficiently? As always, that answer can be found in the Word of God.

  3. Job vs. Work

    MAR 5

    Job vs. Work

    In many cases, the reason why we feel purposeless and drained at our places of employment, is because we don’t look past what our job entails. Beyond the office chair, the drill floor, nurses' station, sales meetings, etc., is a great commission that goes far beyond a paycheck. The work we were created to do, was embedded within us since the day we were born and before the beginning of time. We were made to worship God and to promote His name wherever we go. Once that becomes the forefront of our drive, we’ll never have to worry about having a job…because we’ll always be working for the Lord.

    After 22 episodes and many insightful interviews, we've come to the end of 2025 - and I just want to say, "thank you."

  7. Wi-Fi Faith

    Wi-Fi Faith

    In this age of technology, there have been many advancements in the social construct in which we live in. From sitting on the cusp of self-driving cars, to smartphones that would put some supercomputers of the distance past to shame, we have taken leaps and bounds into the future; but one of the most used forms of technology, that we can’t seem to get enough of, would have to be Wi-Fi. From trying to connect various devices, to wanting to cut back on utilizing your mobile data plan, Wi-Fi has become somewhat of a staple in today’s society. Now, when you think of Wi-Fi, the main takeaway from this little gem, is proximity. What I mean in essence, is that in order to garner the full potential the Wi-Fi has to offer, you have to draw closer to the source of the signal. In the same way, from a spiritual standpoint, we must remain close to the Source (God) if we want to tap into the full potential of what He has to offer.

  8. God's Law of Spiritual Exchange

    11/26/2025

    God's Law of Spiritual Exchange

    Sir Isaac Newton’s 3rd Law of motion states, “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” Essentially stating that the force of a specific object upon another is translated in a chain reaction that results in an equal transfer of energy. In simpler terms, you get out what you put in, in the physical sense. Now, in the spiritual sense, there are some stark parallels in regard to this “revelation”. Thankfully, God knows that our imperfection hinders us from giving our best in order to receive the best He has for us, but He still REQUIRES us to perform acts of obedience, love, grace, forgiveness, etc., in order to receive our blessings in full!
