    Navigating Life's Twists and Turns

    Navigating Life's Twists and Turns

    In today's episode, I talk about the unexpected yet transformative power of life's pivots. These shifts might come as sudden as a spin on a dime or as slow-going as a cruise ship turning. But no matter the pace, they are precious opportunities to grow and lean into the Lord and find a deep experience of love and connection that transcends our achievements. I also talk about my upcoming Creative Legacy Conference, my "Eden's Twilight" Film, and a new LIVE album that's coming in just a few short weeks.

    The Highs and Lows of Making a Film: Behind the Scenes of Eden's Twilight

    The Highs and Lows of Making a Film: Behind the Scenes of Eden's Twilight

    In this episode, I talk about the journey of making my third film in three years, Eden's Twilight. We've had so many amazing God stories and some pretty big challenges along the way. We're taking a leap of faith on this project and I invite you to jump with us. With a budget that's over double the amount of our first film, we're seeking $250,000 and we're already well on our way, needing just $86,000 more to be fully funded.

We recorded this LIVE at my Creative Legacy Conference this past January here in Kansas City. Was honored to have some of my good friends, Matt Gilman, Jaye Thomas, and Cade Thompson join me in leading.

    Man Made, Heaven Sealed: Harnessing the Power of Childlike Faith

    Man Made, Heaven Sealed: Harnessing the Power of Childlike Faith

    'Man Made, Heaven Sealed' talks about how heaven validates our small steps of faith. As we begin moving and taking action, the Holy Spirit comes and seals our choices. But free will is powerful and it is up to us to move.  It's up to us to believe like a child, unburdened by past disappointments and fears. It's our weak faith, intertwined with the Holy Spirit's powerful guidance that will get us to our destination.
