Bobbie Martin knew she needed to make a change and prayed on what that would be. She never dreamed the Lord would call her to walk 35 miles to raise money for a friend!! But she listened and trained. Listen in as she shares her story. We had to make it short and sweet but will have her back on the podcast when it's over! She begins her journey at 0500 tomorrow!! *Sorry for the sound quality. Bobbie lives out in the sticks where service is sketchy at best.

How many times when you tell someone you'll pray for them do you actually pray? Listen in as Melissa talks about what prayer is, why it's so powerful and why it's so important to pray for others when we say we will.

In Paul's letter to the church at Philippi, he told them to "do everything without grumbling or arguing" so they would become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation. Why? So they would "shine among them like stars in the sky." Our world is just as dark as it was in Paul's day with the need for every true believer to shine brighter than ever so that the lost would turn to Christ before it's too late. Listen in as Mike and Melissa discuss what it means to shine bright in this dark and perverse world and why it's so very important.

Romans 8:11 (NLT) clearly tells us that "The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you" and yet so many believers live as if they have no power, no direction, and no purpose. Not only do we have power through the Holy Spirit to win the lost to Christ though, we have guidance, counsel, comfort, and courage. Listen in as Mike and Melissa give real-life testimonies of the ways the Holy Spirit has worked in their lives and how you can experience this for yourself.

In a world that's growing increasingly darker by the presence of sin, it's even more important for believers to shine bright for Christ so that those walking in darkness would seek Him. Unfortunately there are many reasons a Christian allows their light to dim or they even hide it under a basket. Listen in as Mike and Melissa talk about those reasons and give ever greater reasons why we should be bolder and brighter than ever! *Please note: We apologize for the sound quality. We are a work in progress and used a new microphone. Also, "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." is from John 8:36. Melissa (that's me) got her verses mixed up... proving that if God can use her, He can use anyone.:)

Listen in as Mike and Melissa discuss how important it is for the Christian athlete (and we're all running the race of life) to practice discipline in all areas of their lives... spiritual, physical and mental.

He is currently training for the Moab 240 and you'll be inspired by his motivation to conquer it and give God all the glory.

Listen in as Mike and Melissa discuss the importance of taking care of our bodies… mind, body, and soul… so that we can influence others, show ourselves to be set apart, and serve Christ to our fullest potential. This starts with being intentionally grateful for the blessings we have. Gratitude changes hearts and lives.
