The podcast returns from hiatus with fresh thoughts from an old soul. Paul, the persevering preacher and embattled evangelist, wrote the book of II Timothy from prison knowing his end was near. His sage wisdom is so needed for us in this hour.

Through story and scripture, David talks about the power of the faith formula: when we line up our words, thoughts and behaviors with the Holy Spirit, faith is unleashed in remarkable ways. Jesus is still on the move and still seeking out those who will put their trust in him no matter the storm. But what do our words reveal about what we truly believe? In this episode, we continue our summer series on Living Your Best Life and obs...

Why do we so often fall just when we finally reach the peak? In this ongoing series on the life of King David, we see that though David navigated years of hardship, he nearly didn't survive prosperity. With times of ease came new temptations. He fell and he fell hard. But David shows us that the way we come back from our falls is key to being a man or woman after God's own heart. Though repercussions may linger, repentance is avail...

Lisa re-joins the podcast to talk about a remarkable woman who averted a collision between two hot-headed men. We are continuing our series on the life of King David looking at Abigail's story in I Samuel 25.
