Faith in Five | Weekly Video Devotional

Hanging out with friends (good friends) is a great opportunity to let our guard down. When we let go of the desire or pretense that comes with trying to look cool and have it all figured out, we can go deeper in friendships, we can grow in our understanding of others, and we can experience a freedom that we cannot get almost anywhere else.

We all have some “secret rules” that we believe that prevent us from doing more and enjoying life. Some of us believe that if it’s hard, it’s wrong; but we also subsequently believe that if it’s easy, then it’s not worth it. Some of us believe that if our efforts can’t make us money, then it’s not worth our time. However, believing these things create no win situations that lead us to lives void of meaning.

We are always “ON.” We are connected 100% of the time, and we wear busy, tired, and multi-tasking productivity as a badge of honor. We are not in control of our chaos. A quick test of how connected you are is “Do you put your phone to bed or does your phone put you to bed?” If news, email, social media, etc. are the last things we see every night and the first things we see each day, we are always “ON.” If you want to learn more about this, visit our website today!...

If we are honest, we aren’t great at having fun as adults. When we work, we’re serious. When we are at home, we are serious (and tired). When we are at church, we are serious. Because we are calendars are so full of commitments and working hard, we often don’t have time to relax, play games, and have fun.

Life is full of exciting opportunities and possibilities, but it is also full of hard and difficult things. Unfortunately, we often focus on the hard and difficult things with cautions and limitations that short us on what we could be experiencing or accomplishing. There is a big difference between “Yes, but..” and “Yes, and…” “Yes, but…” focuses on all the things that could go wrong or the limitations, where as “Yes, and…” opens up our minds to more.

There are a lot of things in this world that we don’t understand. We might be able to at some level explain physiologically how the body converts food into energy, but do we really understand how the body is programmed to do so? We can know how the brain works or explain how the eye translates what it sees into a signal in the brain, but do we really understand it. For some things we just accept at a certain point, and yet with others, our need for control causes us to str

Sometimes we get super busy, overwhelmed, and over committed. Unfortunately, this leads to a lack of value and meaning in our lives. Our FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) actually leads to missing out. We just go and go and go trying to out run whatever it is we are scared of missing out on. The big problem is we can only do so many things and many times the most important things get left out or missed in our quest to do all of the things. If you want to learn more about what th

When kids learn to walk we celebrate and cheer them on when they fall down to encourage them to keep trying. But at some point in our development we start behaving as if falling down in the worst thing that could happen to us. We believe this so deeply that we start celebrating not falling which leads to not trying new or difficult things, and in turn we limit our development of the key life skill of resiliency.

There is a symbiotic relationship between us and others. Typically we believe in things like “you get what you give” and “you reap what you sow.” However, in this equation there is 1 key missing step prior to stepping into a give and take with this world and people in this world…we have to have something to give. Think of this natural exchange as if everyone is carrying around a bucket that we get to fill with things like love, meaning, value, and joy. We want to fill oth

If you think about the human body, it is made up of a whole bunch of different parts with a variety of purposes to function at its best. No part is necessarily more important than another, and yet each has certain strengths and weaknesses. In the body, we are typically comfortable with a certain part’s limitations, but when it comes to our lives we prefer not to think about, talk about, or admit our limitations.

As humans we struggle with authenticity, vulnerability, and courage, but one of the things that draws this out of us and allows us to step into these places are the people in our lives.
