Although you may spend time joining others in worship, praying with fellow believers, or serving God in church, there is still one practical area of life you may keep separate when service is over: your finances. On Monday, when the bills are due, your priorities become clear. If you want to know what a person values most, looking at what they spend their money on is a clear indicator of where their treasures lie.

Everyone has their pet peeves, and we all think and act differently. In everyday life, it's a guarantee that at some point people will meet whose ways clash. In times like those, it's hard to behave like a faithful Christian. How can I love my neighbor as Jesus requires of me when I don't even like them?

There is a necessary balance between telling someone the honest truth and letting them off the hook. Pastor Adam and special guest Olivea Cook categorize

One might assume that younger generations, like Gen Z, have no interest in spending time with older adults, but every age group benefits from staying interconnected. While the young learn from the old, wisdom flows both ways, and even those with decades of experience have something to learn from the youth. Pastor Adam and special guest Olivea Cook open up about what they need from the elders in their own lives and highlight the importance of the life experience, the love, and the consistency of
