Start the year with a clear heart and a clear path. We lean into the beatitude “Blessed are the pure in heart” and explore how purity reshapes families, marriages, parenting, work, and community life. This isn’t about perfection or performance; it’s about alignment with God’s presence so we can rest, resist what drains us, and live with integrity that shines.

We share a tangible vision: blessing over homes and marriages marked by honest communication and real intimacy, children and prodigals drawn close to Jesus, and workplaces where excellence is an act of worship. Along the way, we confront envy and the false promises of prosperity, trading comparison for an eternal perspective that makes obedience the true treasure. You’ll hear practical counsel on language and self-talk—how the words we repeat reveal what’s in the heart—and how to reset those scripts with truth and hope.

We also invite you into 21 days of prayer and fasting to replace noise with Scripture, worship, and stillness. Think of it as a recalibration: returning to God with sincerity, submitting to His wisdom, and humbling ourselves so grace can lift us. We unpack what it means to resist the enemy from a place of victory, cast anxieties on Jesus, and live anointed by the Holy Spirit for everyday moments—at the kitchen table, in meetings, and across your neighborhood.

What if your strongest moment isn’t at the start line, but at the finish? We open with a raw story from a 1994 missions trip to Nicaragua that spiraled into dengue fever and a surprising lesson about grit. From there, we zoom out to a bigger challenge: how do you push past the February fade and end the year with genuine momentum, not just good intentions?

We anchor the conversation in Hebrews 12 and get practical. First, lay aside weights—those non-sin hindrances like distraction, worry, and unhealthy patterns that bleed your focus. Second, throw off the sin that clings. Temptation is personal, and freedom starts by naming what traps you and stepping into the light with courage. Finally, run with endurance. Your race isn’t mine, and comparison steals joy. Expect blisters and setbacks. Endurance looks like getting up, bandaging what hurts, and moving again with your eyes fixed on Jesus.

We also celebrate what God is doing in our community: dozens of salvations and baptisms, hundreds of prayer requests lifted, a growing Spanish translation ministry that helps families worship in their heart language, and new life groups designed to keep you moving when your willpower runs thin. If you’ve felt the gap between a bold January and a quiet stall by spring, this conversation offers a path back—clear choices, decisive action, and the strength that comes from walking together.

Ready to finish stronger than you started? Listen now, join a life group, and prepare with us for a focused season of prayer and fasting. If this encouraged you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs a nudge, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

The search for the “perfect gift” can be frantic and funny—we even share a Turbo Man moment—but beneath the wrapping is a longing for something that doesn’t break or get boxed up. We journey from a packed day of service to a manger where love takes human form and resets what matters most.

We trace the nativity like a tapestry: Mary’s costly yes, Joseph’s steady protection, shepherds welcomed from the margins, and magi crossing borders under a guiding star. Along the way we unpack the meaning behind gold, frankincense, and myrrh: a king worth honoring, a priest who bridges the gap, and a Savior whose love will pay the price. Even the practical side matters—provision for a family fleeing Herod’s violence—showing that real love is both tender and tough. If presents delight for a moment, presence transforms a life.

From there we get practical. We talk about pre-deciding to walk with Jesus in the new year, joining community, and blessing our households in prayer. We name three anchors to carry forward: the King has come, the High Priest forgives, and the Messiah makes a way. If you’ve been measuring the season by lists and sales, consider a different measure: the courage to forgive, the humility to ask for help, the joy of serving together, and the steady practice of love at home. Join us for a warm, story-rich hour that blends Scripture, humor, and hope—and leave with clear next steps for your faith and family.

If this encouraged you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs some Christmas hope, and leave a quick review so more people can find it. Merry Christmas, and may love lead your way this week.
