Unshaken faith when I’m desperate for a second chance [UNSHAKEN #11]

Have you ever felt caught in a cycle of besetting sin and felt unable to change? Have you ever wondered why we tend to go back to habits that we know will destroy us? What do you think will motivate us to give up our sinful ways for God’s ways?
In today’s podcast we’ll look at the story of Samson and learn how devastating it can be to deal lightly with sin. Yet, God’s love and grace are available to us the moment we call on Him, and His invitation is to trust that living in obedience to His ways is the abundant, good life we are looking for.
There is always hope in Christ! Take a listen to this message and share it with someone who might need encouragement.

Unshaken faith when I’m facing the impossible [UNSHAKEN #9]

If you’ve been a believer for some time, you are probably well accustomed with the story of the fall of Jericho in Joshua 6. God brought an incredible and miraculous victory for his people, and the long-awaited promise to enter a land flowing with milk and honey finally starts to be materialized.
But before this victory takes place there is a pause in chapter 5 that can be easily missed. God is stopping his people and requires them to prepare spiritually for what’s about to happen.
From this passage we can grasp that before experiencing fresh victories in our lives, there are three things that need to happen first. Take a listen!

What do we do when we face the unknown, a new beginning, or a scary change?

Unshaken when my faith looks ridiculous at best [UNSHAKEN #7]

In Numbers 13 we find that twelve men were sent out to spy the Promised Land and come back with two perspectives of the situation. The majority acknowledge that the land is fruitful but it’s impossible to take because it’s occupied by powerful people, while they seem like grasshoppers in comparison (Num. 13:33). Two men however, Caleb and Joshua, believe the promise and power of God to bring them into the Promise Land, in spite of any difficulty. It turns out, all of them experienced exactly what they confessed.
Have you ever faced a situation where what God had promised looked ridiculous at best? In today’s podcast you will learn about the power of perspective, the importance of what you are focusing on, and what makes the difference between trusting God and complaining against Him.
