One tiny little sentence can change your life. Ready for it? "God is here." It may sound obvious at first, but truly understanding these three words is the key to more happiness, less boredom, more rest, less rush, more love, less drama, more peace, less fear. A deeply satisfying life doesn't require a sabbatical, a mission trip, or a New Year's resolution. As long as God is glorious enough and near enough, you can enjoy the life that is truly life - not just the cheap substitutes we've settled for.

This podcast won’t answer every question you have about God, Jesus, or faith. But it will help you start your journey to understanding the hope and love that can only come from God.

Do you ever feel like you're not growing in your faith the way you're supposed to? It turns out, there are forces working against you—threats to your faith—trying to keep you from flourishing in your relationship with God. One of Jesus' parables deals with this very issue: the story about the sower, the seed, and the soil. Just as a farmer doesn't toss seed on the ground to get rid of it, God never brings you into contact with his Word for no reason. If you're wondering why your faith isn't working in some aspects of your life, this book may be what you've been looking for.

Hot-button issues dominating our culture can make speaking out feel taboo. Hiding from hard conversations won’t work.

In Taboo, author Mike Novotny covers deeply personal, vulnerable, and emotional topics, handling them with grace and respect. It’s the ultimate resource for Christians looking to create change and deal with struggles in their own lives.
