It's good to be back. Join James as he checks in after a few weeks and a few life interactions later. Are we working hard enough? Should we be worrying and planning for the future? Do you have anxiety over your life that is NOT founded in the heart of God for you? Let's get into it.

I just felt like sharing a real moment of grace, redemption, and sweetness. Joined me as I talk about the struggle of being the disciplinarian verse the safe place. Sometimes one must lose.

Join James as he dives into why we stop making friends later in life. Is it because we have our core 4? Or are we afraid to risk it... again? After many years of using the mantra "We must be a Safe Place", James is still digging into why it's so hard to do this. After experiencing a powerful online community, he has some new insight. We hope you find it helpful!

If you're anything like me, you struggle with Church. Maybe you have some church hurt from poor leadership, gossip, money grubbing, or the barrage of other ways sinful people mess up what God intended for good. I'm not here to tell you to join a church, but I am here to tell you not to do it alone. The local Church just happens to be the most convenient way to do that. So let's take a look in the Word and see what God desires our gathering to look like.

Scripture:
-Hebrews 10:24-25
-1 Corinthians 12:12, 14:23-26

As humans, we are well acquainted with disappointment in others. Maybe even our own Dad's. What if we truly let God father us? In the midst of an imperfect life with imperfect people who love us imperfectly, can we let Him fill the gap? Do you believe He can? Does your soul need restoration... or just... rest?

Join James as he shares some hurt, and hang-ups, but chooses to turn it back to The Lord. There is a power there that your heart desperately needs to feel complete.

Verses:
-Mark 2:27
-Matthew 11:28-30
-Exodus 20:5, 34:14
-Deuteronomy 32:35-36
