God, Greed and the Prosperity Gospel

God, Greed and the Prosperity Gospel: How Truth Overwhelms a Life Build on Lies.

“As his faith in Christ deepened, Costi Hinn, nephew of televangelist Benny Hinn, found himself questioning his family’s practices. This insider view from the once heir-apparent of one of the world’s leading prosperity dynasties offers a thoughtful perspective on the perils of greed, the power of the true gospel, and hope for the future of the church.” Click the link above or the book graphic to learn more!

Costi’s testimony was riveting to me becuase I saw his uncle on TV multiple times growing up and had not idea what all was really taught and believed in the “prosperity” gospel. It was extremely eye opening.

Also, we first learned about Costi in the American Gospel Documentary. We recommend that as well. Also, Costi has just released his second book called More than a Healer.

October 9, 2019

Have you ever finished your prayers and felt like when you finished your prayers didn’t make it past the ceiling? As if there’s no way God heard it? Like it was a waste of time? Maybe he wouldn’t answer it anyway?

God’s Commandments are not Burdensome: A Visual Lesson

October 2, 2019

“But Christianity is so boring and burdensome Sarah. It’s just a list of things you can’t do while everyone else is out having fun.”

I have heard statements like these over the years in my work with teenagers, and honestly, it breaks my heart. It reveals many things, but one in particular is that they think God’s laws and commandments are a burden to carry, instead of a way that actually allows them to walk in freedom.

The Bible even attests to this in 1 John 5:3 which states, “For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome.”

In today’s vlog, I show you the visual that I use with individuals and audiences to show that the commandments of God are, in fact, not burdensome. PLEASE, PLEASE watch below!

Will God Really Give Me the Desires of my Heart?

March 27, 2019

During the teen years, one verse that is often heard is Psalm 37:4, “Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”

Today, I want to explain this verse and give my own personal story to understanding it. In the beginning of my Christian walk, I thought this meant that if I was faithful, stayed away from sin, and did what was right, God would give me things I sincerely wanted. Things that were good for me and honorable in his sight.

…and I thought He was fulfilling it all when I was 17 and met Seth.

It’s Time to Break the Chains

January 8, 2019

January is the time that people see “New year, new you!” slogans everywhere, and they’re usually advertising for new diet plans or workout memberships.

I actually hesitated to write a post like this because I don’t want it to come off as “cheesy” or just another “improve your life” gimmick. However, I can assure you, that I mean business. Probably more now than I ever have when it comes to this blog.

Last year, I read so many articles about the proverbial “chains” affecting teenagers. The skyrocketing of depression, anxiety, self harm, suicide, porn, drugs…you name it. And you know what?

I. am. sick. of. it.

I am so tired of watching teenagers, and people general, live defeated, unfulfilled, confused, and purposeless lives. This year I want to help whoever stumbles upon us to break the chains in their lives.
