Prepare For Impact

What is holding you back?

Is it fear of the unknown? A fear that God will not honor his word? Experiences may have lead you to these questions, but the reality of what is holding you back lies within yourself. The good news in all of this? You're not stuck there.

God wants you to venture out into the depths of his will and trust him with radical faith. If you are wondering what this looks like in your day-to-day life, check out our new blog "How Deep Will You Go?" that is live now.

Have you ever seen a raging creek?

What an amazing experience. The sound. The force. The peace that can come from standing beside something that could easily overpower you is beyond understanding.

But not every part of the stream moves the same. From a gentle trickle over the rocks that rest on the shore to the rushing water that flows through its deepest sections. There can be great variation in the intensity of the water.

Likewise, there is variation in how caught up we are in God's plan. Not everyone is swept away in God's ultimate plan; some are caught on the shore of their own life never getting to experience the power of reckless abandonment to God's leadership.

"Are you coming?"

We've all asked and been asked this question. But did you know that God is asking that of you? He is wondering just how far we are willing to go with him. Are you one to stay off on the shore of your own plans or will you give up control to the leadership of God?

To read more about what a life of reckless abandonment could look like, come back tomorrow at 9:30 AM MT to read our new blog "Catching the Current."

God doesn't always fit into the box we want him to.

How comforting is that? He is the same God yesterday, today, and forever (Heb 13:8) no matter how we try to conform him.

"O LORD, you are my God; I will exalt you; I will praise your name, for you have done wonderful things, plans formed of old, faithful and sure." Isaiah 25:1

Sometimes God doesn't make logical sense.

He moves in ways that go beyond our human comprehension and are aligned with his ultimate plan. But have you ever wondered why that doesn't look the way we think it should? What is wrong with the way we would like it to happen?

Unfortunately, it is impossible to speak to every situation and why some prayers seem to go unanswered and others see a miracle. But *spoiler alert* God has made us a promise that we can hold to no matter the situation we find ourselves in.

Have you ever experienced what feels like an unanswered prayer?

You're not alone in that. Throughout scripture, you can find example after example of this scenario. But what do we do when this happens? How do we come to terms with the knowledge that God's answer might be different than our own? Is it possible to walk in God's peace despite not seeing the answer we were hoping for?

If you are pondering these questions, come back tomorrow at 9:30 AM MT to read our new blog "Even if He Doesn't." You don't want to miss this closer look at a common struggle that many believers face.

Short-Term ministry have you feeling unsettled?

Are you wanting to plan your next trip before your first one has finished?

You may be feeling this way because God has a longer calling on your life. If you are experiencing this, come back tomorrow at 9:30 AM MT to read, "But I Still Haven't Found," our new blog post that talks about this very topic.

Who do you live your life for?

Do you live for the approval of others or to honor God? I'm sure we all want to say that we live to honor God, but the voices of those who are watching us can come across much louder.

While constructive criticism can be helpful, the opinions of others should not dictate how we live our lives. But how do we remember to honor God when those moments arise? One simple phrase can help, "God is my audience."

If this is something you have dealt with, are currently dealing with, or can see being an issue in the future, check out our new blog. You will find it encouraging and challenging as you face this issue head-on.

The only opinion that really matters!

The temptation to perform for others is strong.

At some point, we will all be faced with the choice to perform for others or to make a choice to recognize God as our audience. Maybe you are facing this decision right now. It is easy to say that you will always choose God but can be a lot harder to walk out when the moment strikes.

If you are feeling this way, come back tomorrow and read our new blog, "God is My Audience" to read more about why it is important to remember Who we are living our life for.
