Before marriage, men pursue their future wives with great focus, persistence and tenacity. But after the wedding day and the honey moon, things can start to cool off. Not to mention a few years passing by and throwing a couple kids in the picture.
Chris Chandler joins Brett to let men know why dating your wife matters. It's drastically important to continue a pursuit of intimacy with your wife throughout your marriage.
Life can get busy with work, ministry and responsibilities. One situation that commonly happens is spouses prioritizing all of their focus on their kids that they stop focusing on each other. Sadly, this leads to many marital problems.
Parents should love their kids and give them lots of focus and attention, but spouses need to make sure to prioritize each other in the same way, with even more emphasis. If you know your kids better than your wife, that might be an issue. As men, we need to make sure our marriage stays as the primary relationship in the family.
Listen as Chris and Brett discuss excuses men make to avoid dating their wives, and how to get past them. As well as how men can lead their wives spiritually with tangible high-impact date ideas.
When we run important businesses or even constantly work in ministry, we can easily find excuses for not resting as we should. But if we continue to ignore our need for a weekly rhythm of rest, it will eventually catch up to us.
God created the Sabbath with great purposes. One of those purposes being for us to find a weekly time to stop working, so we can refresh and reenergize. When we continually work non-stop, it will cause great burn-out and bring us to some dark places.
Josh & Michael share about the importance of taking a weekly Sabbath, along with some strategies they've used an employed for them and their families. Listen as Michael and Josh share about there struggles and victories and how Sabbath rest has played a role.
Many times when a Christian gets a high-paying job or an elevated position they usually say, "God has blessed me." Which may be true. But what happens 6 months later when difficulties arise and hardships abound? Is it still considered a blessing?
Pain Points are actually more important than the money we're making. Pain Points help reveal what's really in our hearts. They help sharpen us, and we need to learn how to have the Biblical perspective of counting them all joy.
If you get passed over for a promotion, if your work goes unnoticed, how content are you? What are you focused on more, opportunities to share your faith where you're at, or the amount of money you will receive?
It's okay for Christians to want more, but we need to make sure we're demonstrating our faith in our business more than we're working to build our own kingdom.
Listen as Pastor Owen Williams shares about his experience in both the pulpit and the corporate world. He'll help navigate through the importance of right beliefs and mindsets that direct our personal and spiritual growth.

Technology advancements have caused everyone to spend extended time engaged in digital spaces. Whether we like it or not, this trend keeps increasing. The world we are stepping into is continually growing drastically more digital.
Digital universes or metaverses we interact in aren't all fake. When we interact with others online, it's an extension of ourselves. The scary part comes in because there is a merging of reality with fake spaces.
Most of the time, the metaverses that exist do cause more harm to users. They're built to addict users to spend more time there which gains the builders of the platforms more money. And trying to keep people engaged isn't governed by moral obligations. Many times more deplorable content is introduced to suck users into these digital universes even more, even to their harm.
So what can the church do? What role do or should Christians play in these digital worlds? Does Jesus want us to be involved in these metaverses or not?
Christopher Adams, founder and developer of the digital metaverse called "Lands Of Elohim", speaks into all these topics and more. As a Christian who desires to spread the Gospel, Christopher tells us why the Church not only should be, but is already involved in great and positive ways spreading the love and truth of Jesus digitally.
Listen as Christopher talks about the dangers that will come if the church runs away from this issue. But also the blessings and benefits that are coming as the church encounters those unreached people who would otherwise never come to the knowledge of the truth of the Gospel if it weren't for finding Jesus in the digital world.

Kevin White went from a broken family, to becoming a pastor, to becoming a Kingdom Building Entrepreneur. In Kevin's early walk with the Lord, he understood the importance of prayer and spending time with the Lord. But as he grew in position and projects, things seemed to get away from him.
Kevin had to get back to the very basics of what breathes life into his own life, as well as what actually propels his business further than he can come up with on his own. Mattew 6:33 says, "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." As Kevin got back to this principle, he began to experience incredible divine acts of God in all areas of his life.
Jesus spoke about the Kingdom much more than He did about "church." Kevin has learned how the workplace is where Jesus is bringing us into His Kingdom today through the workplace and how prayer plays a central role.
Kevin is a best-selling author currently having written 8 books. Kevin can attest that as He prioritized prayer and surrendered His ideas to God, that God brought greater and better ideas and business plans. Kevin's publishing company first order is prayer which enables the publishing to follow.
Listen to Josh and Kevin share how putting prayer first can greatly impact and influence your business and all areas of your life.

Pastor & Political Science Major, David Tillman, speaks on the hard topic of how Christians should engage in politics. Some Christians wonder if they should engage of politics at all, but David makes it very clear that Christians from a Biblical perspective, are supposed to engage in politics.
Yes, Christians belong to a spiritual Kingdom that Christ is king of, but Christ also has us here in the earth, placed in a specific nation and systems that we're in to be a light and bring change and impact. As US citizens, we have a responsibility to affect policies by exercising our vote.
30 million evangelicals didn't vote in the last election. This is a staggering number. If the church abdicates our role from helping to direct the nation's policies with righteous morals then wicked people will influence laws and policies with anti-biblical morals.
Some argue we shouldn't push our morals on other people, but many policies our government enacts are admitted as moral matters. There are always moral views being pushed in public policies, whether it's the church or non-Christians. Listen as Mike & David discuss this important topic.
