“On Your Mark”I Don't Look Like What I Been Through_Worship Through WoundsHonestly, sometimes it hurts and it hurts bad. The question for Christians is how do we maneuver through those times. The truth is, we have never been guaranteed a life of ease or a life free from disappointment or distress.

“On Your Mark”I Don't Look Like What I Been Through_Jesus...And TherapyGod proclaimed that it is not good for man to be alone.

“On Your Mark”I Don't Look Like What I Been Through (Treating Your Triggers)It has been said that our triggers are our responsibility. And that is true though it may sound harsh on the surface.

“On Your Mark”I Don't Look Like What I Been Through_Excuse Your ExcusesExcuses can be tricky, because some of them are really good and make a lot of sense. And those excuses can be used to justify certain behaviors. However, just because we have a good excuse doesn't mean we should use it. As a matter of fact, often times the better the excuse, the more we use it to justify our failure to grow and go where God has called us.

“On Your Mark”I Don't look Like What I Been Through_Accepting ResponsibilityOne of the toughest things we often times have to do in life is to pick ourselves up when someone else knocks us down. I mean, it's not my fault why should I have to do it. Well the simple answer is because the other person doesn't care to do it. But a more real and honest answer is, because it is your responsibility. Not your fault, but your responsibility.

“On Your Mark”I Don't Look Like What I Been Through_Overcoming Pain And TraumaOvercoming pain and trauma starts with a connection with and to God. The more we are able to stay in constant connection and communication with Him, the more we are able to overcome and move forward. This may seem trivial until we realize the the communication doesn't have to always be cordial. We can be frustrated and upset and uneasy and in distress.

“On Your Mark”Be A Gamer_The Power Of Faith (Jesus Restores)It is amazing how powerful the word and actions of Jesus are.

“On Your Mark”Be A Gamer_The Strategy Of FaithStrategy is important in most every area of life. As important as it is, it seems to be equally ignored. At least that is when we need it most. The point of the strategy is to help you, hold you, steady you in the difficult times. To give you a bit of stability and an anchor when it gets rocky. We have to learn to stay with the strategy God has given us even when what we see doesn't match what we thought we would see. We rely not on what we see but on what we have seen...2024-06-2730 min

“On Your Mark”Be A Gamer_The Partnership Of Faith (Moses)God will often call us to places and to do things that we feel woefully unprepared and unable to do.

“On Your Mark”Be A Gamer_Faith and Faith Utilization (The Partnership Of Faith)In many games that require teammates or partners, it is so important to learn, understand and trust your partner. We don't operate alone. We have help, assistance and support in accomplishing a task. If we find ourselves attempting to operate on our own we will quickly calculate our ability and realize we are unable. However, when we realize that our energy and effort is only part of the equation, we can trust more fully that things can and will go well.

“On Your Mark”Be A Gamer_Faith And Faith Utilization (Intro)FAITH! It is a very important tenant in the Christian...well faith. But what is faith exactly and how to we utilize it to please God.

“On Your Mark”Triggered By The Truth_Church Hurt (Idol Worship)Is God on the throne? No really, is He still on the throne of our hearts? I believe this is an important question for us to answer as we explore church hurt. Why? Well, if we have unwittingly replaced God with other people places or things, we have at the same time unwittingly set ourselves up for a world of hurt. And sometimes what we are calling hurt be it from the church or otherwise, is just an outcome and indication that we have set up false and idol gods. It is at least worth investigation and inspection to...2024-05-2437 min
“On Your Mark”Triggered By The Truth_Church Hurt (Misplacement)Are we in the right place or not? This is a question we have to be willing to ask and discern as we explore the idea of church hurt. Because, if we are in fact out of place or "misplaced" what we call hurt can and most often will be simply a result of our unwillingness to follow God's lead. While we don't condone and will not excuse anyone for poor and ungodly behavior, the "anyone" has to include all parties. And if we are simply not doing or going where God has called us, we are also participating...2024-05-0926 min
“On Your Mark”Triggered By The Truth_Church Hurt (Expectations)It has been said that the distance between what we want and what we have is the size of our disappointment. Or said another way, the distance between what we were expecting and what actually occurred is the size of our disappointment. While that may be true, how often do we sit back and ask ourselves; do we even have a right to expect that? Is it fair, viable or even right to expect some of the things we are expecting? Does it make sense to expect that? Obviously when it comes to the Christian Church some things should...2024-04-1931 min
“On Your Mark”Triggered By The Truth_Church HurtChurch hurt is a big issue and item for discussion within the Christian family. And in that discussion we need to be more open, honest and direct about what the church really is, who created it, and the purpose for that creation. When we do I believe we will learn that the Church is an institution created by God, loved by God and it is being worked on / perfected by God. Because of that, it is unviable to expect certain things from the church that when it is not delivered, leaves us hurt. Now to be clear, there are...2024-04-0536 min
“On Your Mark”Triggered By The Truth_I'm SorryApologies tent to fall in one or two categories. I'm not doing it or I don't mean it. Let's develop a new category that supersedes all previous categories. This one is the, I'm sorry, I mean it and I'll prove it with my actions. No one is perfect, of that we are certain. And with that being the case, we can all stand to take a closer look at self and examine where we may have offended others. And a very real insight is to also understand that our offense, when we are inappropriate and do wrong, is really...2024-03-2934 min
“On Your Mark”Triggered By The Truth_AccountabilityAccountability is such an important issue that we must all come to grips with. However, more and more, it seems as though we are struggling to be responsible enough to take accountability for ourselves. It is easier to be defensive and point the finger at others who may be more at fault than us. And let's be clear, they may be more at fault. They may have issues. They may be guilty; but what is our part in it? What did we do? Are we behaving as God has instructed us. When God calls us to account, it won't...2024-03-2134 min
“On Your Mark”Triggered By The Truth_Happiness vs HolinessWe all like being happy, or we should be. The problem is when we prioritize our now happiness over our overall wellbeing. Sometimes it is necessary and even vital to sacrifice now happiness for future growth, development and overall well being. It is because of this that God is more concerned with our holiness over our happiness. As we seek Him and grow in holiness being holy as He is holy, happiness becomes a permanent state of being making it less happiness and more joy. Let's discuss. 2024-03-0122 min
“On Your Mark”Triggered By The Truth_Loyalty To SystemsWhen does a system become obsolete? The short answer is when it no longer works. But often it is not that simple. Maybe it works, but not nearly as well or efficiently as the new system. As Christians, we have to be willing to grow, develop and innovate in order to operate effectively in this world. This doesn't mean abandoning Christ and His systems. On the contrary, it means staying with Christ and being willing to adapt and adjust when He updates or lays out new ways of operating. Don't get me wrong, He is not changing the Bible...2024-02-2232 min
“On Your Mark”Triggered By The Truth_Loyalty And The ChurchLoyalty can be a rare commodity these days and you know what, perhaps it should be. Especially when loyalty is given to any and everything except the right thing.

“On Your Mark”Triggered By The Truth_Loyalty And WorkWork is a good thing...or at least it should be. Work was created and designed by God. It was God who gave Adam his task in the garden to work and keep it. So the problem is not work, but instead whom we work as unto. In this episode of "On Your Mark", we look at the importance of working as unto The Lord and making sure that our loyalty remains to God in our work. Our work is our worship and as long as we realize our true boss, God, our work will be right and our...2024-01-3127 min
“On Your Mark”Triggered By The Truth_LoyaltyWhile loyalty can be a good thing, the truth is it really depends on who has your loyalty. For Christians, Jesus Christ is the one in whom we devote absolute loyalty. After that, our loyalty has to be conditional and fluid. We have to make sure we are keeping God as number one and the supreme authority in our lives. To do otherwise and call it loyalty is to be dishonest and disobedient. Join us in this podcast as we discuss how to make sure we keep God priority one and our loyalties properly placed. 2024-01-2531 min

“On Your Mark”Triggered By The Truth_The Occult (Sacred Stones, Power Crystals, Psychics and Sorcerers)As Christians we know and understand that God is all powerful, and Jesus has been given all authority in His hands. And that is a fact we have to remember and hold on to when it comes to The Occult. Because the Bible indicates that there are demonic forces at work around us, it is imperative that we don't participate with or in the "dark arts" to attempt to gain power. We must keep our trust in God not allowing our desire to know and understand what God hasn't revealed to lead us to submit to or dabble in...2023-11-1036 min
“On Your Mark”Triggered By The Truth_(Beware The Rituals)Along this Christian journey it is so easy to get caught up in certain activities and rituals and not ever really know or understand the meanings behind them. It is important that we are mindful of what we do and why we do it. Certain rituals may seem innocent until we realize that we are ascribing to rituals meaning and power that is not due it.

“On Your Mark”Triggered By The Truth (The Defense Mechanism)Ever wondered why it is so hard to accept new information. Turns out we have a natural inclination to fight against anything that challenges where or what we currently are. It's hard to accept things if it means we are or have been wrong.

“On Your Mark”Contending For Your Joy_(Conditioned Properly)Our environment carries with it many different things.

“On Your Mark”Contending For Joy (Joy Is A Decision)Joy is something that must be protected, embraced, enjoyed and yes fought for. But we would be surprised how often it comes down to a decision.

“On Your Mark”Commanding Peace In Your Environment (Calm In Chaos) It is unrealistic to think we won't have to operate in and around chaos. The fact is we are often called to bring calm to chaotic situations. The key is to remain calm so that we can see and understand how to bring calm. That starts with us individually.
