What do you think of first when you hear the word “worship”? Do you think of worship music? Or a worship service? If so, I want to encourage you to think a little deeper about the meaning of true worship. Jesus points out in Matthew 15.8-9…

Here’s another edition of “Well, Since You Said It That Way, It Makes a Lot of Sense” hosted by me, Todd Stach. Okay…it’s really not a game show, but consider this: you relax on a plane, even though you don’t know the pilot, you relax on a cruise ship, even though you don’t know the captain, you relax on a bus, even though you don’t know the driver. So why don’t you relax in life, knowing that God is in control? If you know him, there should be some peace there. I get it. It’s hard, but those analogies make so much sense to me now.

If you feel like you struggle with hearing from God, you’re not alone. This is a source of insecurity for many Christians today…

When you find yourself feeling worried and overwhelmed, turn to the power and goodness of God’s Word. Anxiety can suck you into a whirlpool of racing thoughts, and sometimes the only way out is by latching onto the rock-solid Truth.

Have you ever been to the point where you really just don’t know exactly what to say because either way you’re going to be on the irritating side of someone? So, I have a solution, and yes, I’m talking about the mask or no mask…

When you think about God giving you a gift, what comes to mind first? Money? A house? A job? A child? Do you ever think of God giving you a gift through suffering? Surprisingly…

We want you to be encouraged, we want you to start each day feeling like there’s hope. I found hope in this quote from Lysa TerKeurst because I tend to want to control things…
