"If one desires to receive, one must first give. This is called profound understanding"
​- Lao-tzu

Why are we so uncomfortable with the concept of giving? Let alone the concept of giving the 'first fruits' of our time, money, and lives.

What if, by holding back the first things, we are robbing ourselves of the blessings and abundance that are already waiting for us? What if, ironically, the act of trying to hold on to abundance in our lives is the one thing that is stopping us from truly experiencing the abundance we are searching for?

Listen as Pastor Nick Barber shares with us why an abundant life is so pivotally tied to where we invest our 'first fruits'.

“In place of our exhaustion and spiritual fatigue, God will give us rest. All He asks is that we come to Him…that we spend a while thinking about Him, meditating on Him, talking to Him, listening in silence, occupying ourselves with Him – totally and thoroughly lost in the hiding place of His presence.”
– Chuck Swindoll

When was the last time you gave yourself entirely to the discipline of rest? Listen as Keith Todd from the Bethany Healing Foundation shares with us why rest is so important to our relationship with our God.

"Faith is not defined by our perfection, it is defined by our perseverance"
- Daniel Neuhaus

"How completely satisfying to turn from our limitations to a God who has none."

“The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for.” ―Fyodor Dostoyevsky

​
Listen as Ron Barber shares with us how we can rediscover how truly meaningful life is intended to be.

"Being a mother is an attitude, not a biological relation."
- Robert A Heinlein

Do you truly understand what it is to be a mother? What value do we place on ourselves as mothers, or on the mothers in our lives?
​
Listen as Deb Glassford shares with us the true design for motherhood, and why we are all called to celebrate motherhood, both in our own lives, and the lives of the ones we love.

“Worship has been misunderstood as something that arises from a feeling which ‘comes upon you,’ but it is vital that we understand that it is rooted in a conscious act of the will, to serve and obey the Lord Jesus Christ.”
- Graham Kendrick

What is worship to you? Is it an expression of an emotional state? Or is it a statement of faith and gratitude for our God?

Listen as Pastor Deb Stanley encourages us to pursue a faith that is not only exciting, but contagious.

'Our position shapes our perspective'

Listen as Pastor Nick Barber shares some insight into how to maintain a perspective grounded close enough to God to allow us to focus on the Greatness of God rather than the difficulties of our lives.​​
