"Everybody hurts. Many of us know God has the power to heal. Sometimes we don’t know how to experience that healing on a personal level. Using the Christ-centered 12 steps to recovery, learn how to live the abundant life Jesus promised us – freedom from plaguing "hurts, habits, and hang-ups". This program combines biblical teaching with insights into issues related to today’s most pressing issues – addiction, codependency, depression and anxiety disorders, messy marriages, parenting conundrums, broken relationships, and more."

Dream Big Dreams CD Series
Psalm 37 says this, "Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart." Are you ready to accept the desires of your heart? Does your heart pound like a kid on Christmas morning in anticipation? Can you surrender your dreams and run hard after God's dreams for you -- some of which, you don't even know you have -- yet?
The best dreams are indeed, God's dreams for you. May today be a day you come closer to realizing God's big dreams for you!
I've tried really really hard to make the point that sometimes we're not very discerning when it comes to recognizing how God is already handing us our big dreams. We confuse big dreams with flashy, splashy, attention--grabbing successes. Frankly, we want to live large by our definition –- not necessarily God's.
Could it be possible that you are already standing on the very precipice of God's big dream for you –- and you haven't recognized it? Look, I'm a mere mortal –- I don't know your deal!!! But I know who does –- go to God in prayer, ask the Holy Spirit to do His thing -– and reveal to you the truth. Remember that Jesus stands before the Father morning, noon, and night, reminding him of you and your big dream. Then, do what you think is best...
