Episode 20 - Sewing Season 05/28/2020

Episode 20 - Sewing Season Seasons come and seasons go...some we wish would go quicker than others. Episode 20 recounts the season that has almost taken me down and the story of how God, who never left my side, is leading me out of it. It's real and raw and I am not proud but I stand to tell the story of God's love for a broken, lost soul such as mine. /episode/index/show/abovethewaves/id/14597069

Episode 19 - Slave No More 11/26/2019

Episode 19 - Slave No More Foolish. Disobedient. Led astray. How many of these words describe your past? For me, all of them do. How many of these words do you want to define your future? This episode examines a letter Paul wrote to Titus, a letter that was meant for every one of us who have ever missed the mark and believe the lie that our past defines us. You are not your mistakes. You are not your past. Through Christ, you are made NEW. /episode/index/show/abovethewaves/id/12185117

Episode 17-Christian Defined 07/11/2019

Episode 17-Christian Defined People who believe in Jesus Christ are called Christians. But what does it actually mean to believe in Jesus?

Episode 16 - Drop Your Weights and Run 05/09/2019

Episode 16 - Drop Your Weights and Run You have a job to do. You have a race to run. A set course and purpose for your life designed specifically for you by the Creator, the same creator who made you. Sin and weights of our past keep us from running this race with the joy, effectiveness and purpose that is meant for us. In this episode go to the book of Hebrews and discover what we must do in order to run the race set before each of us. /episode/index/show/abovethewaves/id/9710180

Episode 15 - Too Wise For Our Own Good 04/19/2019

Episode 15 - Too Wise For Our Own Good It seemed foolish that a carpenter from Nazareth could be the son of God and savior of the world. Religious leaders of the time created their own ideas of what the coming messiah would look like. Jesus did not fit the bill and was crucified for it. Still today this story is foolishness to many who hear it. This episode explores the link between those who crucified Christ and our own need for God to do things our way. /episode/index/show/abovethewaves/id/9452747

Episode 14 - Hands and Feet 04/10/2019

Episode 14 - Hands and Feet As a Christian you are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus. For the majority of us that is lived out by doing various acts of service for others; feeding the hungry and giving to the poor. However, there is another side of serving others that isn't as obvious as giving money to the man on the median. What if serving others is much more subtle? This episode examines another facet of what it means to be His hands and feet and how Jesus moves through His people, people like you, to do His amazing works. /episode/index/show/abovethewaves/id/9348962

Episode 13 - The Gift We Don't Deserve 03/31/2019

Episode 13 - The Gift We Don't Deserve Grace...what is grace? What does that word mean to you? Is it comforting? Is it foreign? Grace is a hard concept to understand simply because it is unlike anything we are taught in this world. In fact I would go so far as to say it is the opposite of what we are taught in this world. In this episode we look to a powerful and insightful verse in the book of Romans to help us figure out to what grace is, who it is for and at what price it comes. /episode/index/show/abovethewaves/id/9213650

Episode 12 - Finding Hope in Hopelessness 03/08/2019

Episode 12 - Finding Hope in Hopelessness If you have ever felt hopeless you know it is a hard feeling to shake. Hopelessness, like a wildfire, tends to start small but grows quickly and consumes every ounce of joy in its path. Jesus, the source of all hope, not only wants to help us out of these moments of deep sorrow but wants to use them for good to build endurance and character in us. With Christ, getting out of a season of hopelessness is possible and this episode will give you the tools to overcome even the most hopeless of situations. /episode/index/show/abovethewaves/id/8926757

Episode 11- The Vending Machine of Life 02/22/2019

Episode 11- The Vending Machine of Life We live in a world of choices. Whatever it is that we desire we are flooded with choices, much like the array of choices presented at a vending machine. We make our selection in hopes that it will feed our craving, but what if it doesn't? This episode will expose the cycle the enemy has created to keep us down and out and never full satiated. Discover how Jesus wants to break that cycle and is the only selection we ever need to choose to fulfill the desires of our heart. /episode/index/show/abovethewaves/id/8739053

Episode 8 - God's Love or Coincidence? 01/27/2019

Episode 8 - God's Love or Coincidence? Most of us are blind to see the loving hand of God the Father working in our lives because we believe these miracles we witness are just a coincidence. The enemy has been hard at work to disguise God's loving works for us as seemingly insignificant everyday moments. It's time to wake up and be vigilant to God's unconditional love that surrounds us. Through discipline and intentional effort we can attune our eyes, ears and hearts to see the amazing love that our Heavenly father pours out on us daily. /episode/index/show/abovethewaves/id/8415791

Episode 7-Pray God's Way 01/19/2019

Episode 7-Pray God's Way Have you ever stopped to examine what your prayers might sound like to God? Are they heartfelt? Are they full of fluff and church-y words? Prior to the Lord's Prayer Jesus warned us against reciting vain words when talking to the Father but I fear for most of us that is exactly what the Lord's Prayer has become. Vain thinkless recitation. In this episode you will hear what God has revealed to me about how He wants us to chat with Him in prayer and it might not be what you expect to hear. /episode/index/show/abovethewaves/id/8316911

Episode 6-To Believe or Not 01/10/2019

Episode 6-To Believe or Not To believe in God's existence and goodness or to deny it. In today's world we are accustomed to having a wealth of information about virtually any topic at the drop of a dime. However, when it comes to the questions of God we find ourselves doubting Him due to lack of proof, information and reasoning. This episode will explore the link between Original Sin and our own prideful and doubting ways. Our struggles with belief are not far from those experienced by Adam and Eva at the beginning of time. /episode/index/show/abovethewaves/id/8204897

Episode 5-Set Your Sight Above the Waves In this episode you will get to know Peter, a disciple of Jesus Christ and the other man who walked on water. In the passage from Matthew we see how Peter's mental focus and faith(or lack of) literally decided whether he sank or swam in a violent sea. /episode/index/show/abovethewaves/id/8111615

Episode 3-Follower 12/04/2018

Episode 3-Follower What does it actually mean to follow Christ? As His follower, what is He asking me to do? We don't have to do hours of research or scour through multitudes of religious books to find the answer to these divine questions. Jesus was very clear about what we gain, Him and His unconditional love. Through the Beatitudes we have been given a checklist of ways others will know you you are a follower of the One True King. If Jesus gave you a performance review today, how would you measure up? /episode/index/show/abovethewaves/id/7801355

Episode 2-Silence Part II -The Battle for Your Thoughts 11/26/2018

Episode 2-Silence Part II -The Battle for Your Thoughts God isn't the only one who speaks to us through silence. The enemy uses our thought life as a battleground and no one is safe from his soul breaking schemes. With only one goal in mind, to steal, kill and destroy the enemy uses our doubts, weaknesses and flat out lies to keep us from peace, joy and communion with our Creator and Lord. It's time to take your thought life seriously and show the enemy that God's strength and love for us always wins. /episode/index/show/abovethewaves/id/7680815

Episode 1- Silence- Getting to Know God with a Silent Heart 11/20/2018

Episode 1- Silence- Getting to Know God with a Silent Heart Silence. Sometimes we love it, sometimes we hate it but most times it's nowhere to be seen. God has shown me that He speaks when we surrender our time and silence our hearts to focus on Him. I pray that you come to understand why silence is such a necessity in your relationship with the Lord and gain awareness of how the enemy uses everyday distractions to keep us from the intimate bond our creator desires with us. /episode/index/show/abovethewaves/id/7636817
