Today Kendell and Lori are turning the traditional ideas of belonging, believing and behaving on their heads. Did you know that people are much more willing to come to belief if they first understand that they belong? If we don't get that order right - and let's face it, we often don't - we can't...
Today Kendell and Lori are all about keeping the faith...in the middle of stress, in the middle of frustration, in the middle of an ordinary day. Knowing who we are and WHOSE we are makes a world of difference when life gets dicey.

In today's episode, Kendell and Lori discuss our tendency to pray for patience when what we really need to be praying for is...you guessed it... peace.
The peace that surpasses all understanding.
It's a real thing. It's almost tangible, it's so real. And Christ gives it to us without cost.

In today's episode Kendell and Lori discuss the power of encouragement. Our words have the ability to uplift, sustain, and push people to greatness. All we have to do is look at them with the love of the Father.
Encouraging words go a very long way. Have you ever thought about the impact our w...

Did you know that the whole Bible is a love story and it's all about the love God has for YOU? In today's episode Kendell and Lori discuss the most basic thing you need to know: God made you, He loves you, and He died for you so that He could have a relationship with you.
It is true that God wi...
How often do we look at true, heartfelt prayer as a last resort option, a Hail Mary pass? Today Kendell and Lori discuss the need for prayer as a first option in all of our daily struggles, but most importantly as a first option for true joy. Our Lord wants to know all of our concerns. He cares ...
Have you ever wondered why you behave the way you did in a particular situation, perhaps one in which you weren't so proud of your actions? You are not alone! We have all done it.
Today Kendell and Lori look at the underlying motivations that get in our way and lead us to sin. In a way of brief...
Today's episode is all about getting out of our own way, as well as getting out of God's way. He is so ready and willing to do great things in our lives, but how often do we really let Him work? Today Kendell shares a personal story of getting out of the way and the astounding results that decis...
In other words...get yo'self to church! In today's episode Kendell and Lori discuss handling trials either with God or without Him. Spoiler: it's much easier WITH Him!! God never expects us to be perfect; He only asks us to be faithful, just as He is faithful. How do we do this, though, when ou...
Today Kendell and Lori discuss the importance of recognizing ourselves as new creations in Christ, even when people want to remind us who we used to be. We are not who we were. Our identity is now rooted in Christ. Yet, many times the people closest to us tend to want to lock us into the persona...
Welcome to Easter!!! Today as we celebrate the joy of knowing the Risen Christ, we discuss how we can keep the benefits of our Lenten sacrifices going into the Easter Season so that we can see them bear even more fruit. Our sacrifices serve a very good and beneficial purpose during Lent - that o...
Welcome to Holy Week, everyone! Today we unpack the Sword of the Spirit, which St. Paul tells us is the Word of God. We find it interesting to call the Sacred Scriptures a "sword," but that is what St. Paul calls it as he encourages us to take it up and wield it for good. Swords are used both o...
The helmet protects our heads, right? It's the first thing we reach for before climbing onto a bike or motorcycle. We protect our head because wounds to our head and brain can be life-threatening.
Likewise, we put on the Helmet of Salvation to protect our minds and guard our thoughts. The mind i...
The shield is meant to quench the flaming darts of the enemy. It takes faith to do this, but that faith must be strengthened by a relationship with God. When we actively look to strengthen our faith, working it as a muscle which must be used and toned, our shield is more impenetrable.
Prayer f...
Week four of our Lenten journey has us lacing up our shoes, specifically the shoes of the Gospel of Peace. While I would like to think that mine are a cute pair of strappy sandals, one thing I know for sure is that these shoes need to be worn every day.
The shoes are the one piece of armor tha...
Week Three of our Lenten series brings us to the Breastplate of Righteousness. As armor, the breastplate protects the chest and heart. The spiritual armor of the breastplate protects our heart from spiritual harm and the consequences of sin. We know that our own righteous acts are no match for ...
We are in our second week of Lent and closely examining the first piece of armor today - the belt of truth.

In today's episode, we explore Paul's encouragement to us to stand firm in the armor of God, that we "may withstand in the evil day." What does this mean, exactly...to stand? Aren't we donning armor so that we can go into battle?
St. Paul's encouragement to stand is his way of reminding us tha...
We are back for Season Two and we are ready to go deep into spiritual warfare. Today we introduce our Lenten series, Battle Ready. For the next eight weeks we will discuss what it means to put on the armor of God, and what that might look like in our daily lives.
