Sometimes in life, we find ourselves in undesirable situations that are undeserved. We haven't done anything wrong to end up here, so why are we here? We feel crippled; unable to move on, living in grief over a life we will never be able to live.In Scripture, we are given a story about a young man named Mephibosheth, who was crippled from childhood by an event over which he had no control. He was locked up in a house, with seemingly no future. And yet, King David extended a hand of mercy to him, and changed Mephibosheth's life. What does this mean for you? Join Dr. Mark Lantz as he discusses just that in Handicapped in the House.

Have you ever felt locked up? Have you ever felt like all the escapes in your life have been closed off, and you are left to sit in a prison on your own? Have you felt betrayed and abandoned, your dreams lost in some inaccessible place? Joseph did. And yet, that very same experience of being locked up led him to a greater experience of joy and dominion than he ever would have encountered had he not been locked up.We all have locked up experiences in our life. But what we do when we are in those experiences is what determines where we will go from them. Join Dr. Mark Lantz in this episode of Life on Purpose, entitled Locked Up.

There are times in your life that you feel that you are wandering in the wilderness. You feel like you are in the badlands of life, on the backside of every experience in life. You feel left behind and abandoned, and as if no one hears your cries. You are not alone in this experience! Exodus 3 tells the story of Moses, a man who was, quite literally, in a wilderness experience. But it was from this wilderness experience that God raised one of the greatest leaders in Biblical history. How did Moses go from the wilderness to leading God's chosen people to their Promised Land? And how did his wilderness experience prepare him for his God-appointed task? Join Dr. Mark Lantz as he examines the story of Moses' wilderness experience in this episode of Life on Purpose.

You must be willing to take this next step in your life to reach all that God has planned for you. Join Dr. Mark Lantz in this episode of Life on Purpose as he examines Biblical truths on how to achieve the greatest level of vision and influence that you've ever experienced.
