Denise Pass: Living in the Power of the Resurrection Life

What does Easter mean to you? Does Easter change the way you live your life? Jesus didn’t die a horrific death on the cross and come alive again, so people could live any way they wanted.  He didn’t die so we could have a religion with rules and buildings.  Denise Pass shares the significance Easter has for her and how Jesus died so we could have a relationship with Him now and for eternity.  Jesus became a sacrifice as payment for our sins and rose again so we could live power-filled lives every day.
Denise Pass is graduating this May with a Ph.D. in Biblical Exposition and is the Author of “Make Up Your Mind” and “Shame Off You,” and is the founder of her ministry, Seeing Deep Ministries, where she helps readers and listeners to overcome the battles of the mind with the word of God. She is a Christian singer/songwriter, worship leader, and podcaster with her Bible reading plan, the Bible Tribe, and also has videos on YouTube like her Theology at Home, a new weekly encouragement for us to know what we believe and live it out!

Sandra Jones: Beautiful Truth of How God Sees Us

Have you ever looked in the mirror and not liked what you saw?  How we see ourselves affects every part of our lives, from our mindset and attitude to our actions and our relationships. If we place our worth and value in “outside” things like other people’s opinions, our resume, or our bank account, we will be let down and it will never be enough. Sandra Jones shares her story and some stories in the Bible that teach us where our true value lies. When we place our identity in the One who created us and sees us as a beautiful masterpiece, that’s where we find purpose, power and peace.
For over sixteen years Sandra has brought a message of encouragement, love, and hope to women in difficult situations. As a result, hurting women see their true identity through God's eyes, discover freedom in forgiveness and experience the love from their heavenly Father. Sandra is the founder of Homeless Heart Ministry. In addition, she has served as women's and youth ministry leader, prison ministry leader, and Bible teacher.

Activating Faith for Healing and Wholeness

At some point, we all need healing in our lives.  Whether it is for our body because of an injury or illness, or our mind because of heartbreak or grief, or our soul because of unforgiveness or hopelessness, we desire healing and wholeness.  When we continue to walk around wounded and broken, the wounds can fester and the poison leaks out in our attitude and frequently in our treatment of others.  Sometimes we can go to a doctor or therapist and they can give us a remedy, but sometimes there is no remedy for what ails us in a pill or on a couch.  The ultimate Healer and Mighty Counselor is God Himself and He is not only able to heal us, He desires to give us an abundant life with only the best.  My word of the year is healing and I wanted to share what I have been learning so far on this journey. There’s no co-pay involved in listening in with me or sharing with a friend, and the rewards can be priceless.

The Power of Holding Hope and Heartache Together

You know what happens when you pray for patience? I learned that the same concept applies when you make HOPE your word of the year. Hope is still a postive expection and you need to place your hope in God, not people or circumstances. Instead of downloading hope into our heart, God gives us opportunities to cultivate hope in the middle of the heartache and messiness of life.
