Unshaken faith when I find myself at a crossroad [UNSHAKEN #8]

Every now and then we find ourselves at a crossroad. A crossroad is a diverging road, giving you the option to go one way or another. You may find yourself at a relationship crossroad, a professional crossroad, a health-related crossroad, and you’re not sure which way to go.
What do we do when we face the unknown, a new beginning, or a scary change?
Listen to this Podcast episode in our #Unshaken series and learn some principles for when you’re at a crossroad.

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.

Unshaken faith when I’m not so sure about God’s plans [UNSHAKEN #6]

Have you ever felt unsure about God’s plans in your life? Have you sensed a calling but don’t quite see how it’s going to happen? Or do you simply feel insecure because of past failures and stopped dreaming for God?
Moses’ story will encourage you to overcome your painful places, believe in God’s ability to fulfill His purposes with you no matter your past, and trust God’s leading as you learn to know His presence. Don’t miss this podcast!

Unshaken faith when I’m stuck and can’t get out [UNSHAKEN #5]

Are there any areas in your life right now where you feel stuck? In today’s episode in the Unshaken podcast series, we'll take a look at Joseph's story in Genesis 37 and 39 and learn the secret to his successful life with God in spite of being stuck in a series of unfortunate and undeserved events. 

Unshaken faith when I’m paralyzed by fear [UNSHAKEN #4]

What are you most afraid of in your life?
In Genesis 32 we encounter Jacob facing his greatest fear ­– the fear of meeting his estranged brother Esau and suffer his wrath for having exploited him on two occasions. In the middle of this darkest of nights, Jacob comes to the realization that the only place to wrestle with his fears and find breakthrough is in prayer. And as he wrestles, he learns that his fear is overcome when he allows God to bring him to a place of brokenness and surrender.
If you feel paralyzed by fear, you too are called to draw closer to God and trust that even when you feel like you can’t hang on to God anymore, He’s got his hold on you.

Unshaken faith when it’s easier not to believe [UNSHAKEN #3]

Do you have promises in your life that you now no longer believe?
When God delays, do you come up with a plan to help Him accomplish His goals for your life?
Have you stopped believing God will come through for you because you failed Him?
Have you quit dreaming because you started listening to man instead of God?
In today’s podcast in our Unshaken series, you will be reminded that we serve a God of miracles, of the impossible, a God who keeps His promises, and who sometimes delays not in order to frustrate us but to help us grow our faith in Him and then pass on that faith to future generations. Don’t miss this teaching from Genesis 16 and 18 on the life of Sarah!

Unshaken faith when I can’t see the way [UNSHAKEN #2]

In Genesis 12 we find God calling a man, Abram, to leave his country and family and follow Him instead to “the land that I will show you.” Without the complete roadmap for his future, Abram responds in faith and becomes an example of what it means to trust God with our lives, even when we can’t see the way.
Please take a listen to this podcast episode in our Unshaken series. You will find the fuel to go on in your faith journey.
(The Unshaken podcast series is about standing strong in faith no matter what. We are looking at how men and women in the Bible learned to grow stronger in their faith through the insurmountable trials they were facing.)

Unshaken when I lose sight of all I have [UNSHAKEN #1]

When looking at the stories of men and women in the Bible I noticed that every one of them faced insurmountable trials and were prone to fear and discouragement. Yet somehow in the midst of their trials their faith rose. They grew strong no matter the circumstances. They learned to stand unshaken no matter what.
That’s the kind of life I want, and I suspect it’s what you want too.
In this podcast summer series, I invite you to listen to teachings on unshaken faith. I believe you’re going to find strength – God’s strength which is made perfect in our weaknesses.
Today we’re going to look at the story found in Genesis 3 and learn how to stand unshaken when we lose sight of all we have.
