What if everything you've been taught about strength is actually working against you? We live in a culture obsessed with projecting power and having it all together—but what happens when anxiety grips your chest at 2 AM and you can't make it stop? This episode explores the counterintuitive idea that true power isn't found in pretending to be strong, but in honestly confessing where you're weak. Through a raw personal account of battling fear during a wilderness trip—heart pounding, thoughts spiraling—you'll discover why the very thing you're trying to hide might be the doorway to the freedom you've been looking for. Are you tired of fighting alone?

Weakness Becomes Strength (Wade)

Promises

We live in a culture that glorifies complexity and chaos—complicated schedules, endless goals, nonstop hustle. Yet, most of that noise isn’t helping you. You’re beating yourself up for what you don’t have, tangled in past disappointments, and paralyzed by fear that’s mostly imagined. None of that moves the needle. What if, for just one moment, you accepted that simplicity is enough? Imagine stripping away the must-dos, the overwhelm, the fears, and the doubts. Too often, though, we create monsters in our heads, just like we did when we were little and the monsters were under the bed. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the .    But these monsters aren’t imaginary anymore. They’re real enough to freeze your progress, to make you question your worth, your direction, your next move. And that’s exactly why you have to stop feeding them. Instead, what if you just figured out what you want? Not the whole grand vision laid out in perfect detail, but the one next small step that nudges you forward. Not a giant leap that crushes your confidence, but a little tip-toe that says, “I’m in.” Too often, we let our brains turn “next steps” into an immovable mountain. We pile on what-if scenarios, worst-case fears, and doubts that spiral out of control. But there’s a secret. Progress doesn’t require tearing down the mountain all at once. It just requires that one first pebble be shifted. What if you paused long enough to try that small new action? What if you let go of the need to solve everything right now and turned your attention to the simple beauty around you? The steady breath, the sound of birds, the quiet moments before the day starts—these are the anchors in chaos. The K.I.S.S. ~ Simplicity is enough!   Life will always throw the unpredictable at you. There will be things outside your control. But losing control? That’s a choice. You hold power in how you respond, how you break down challenges into something manageable instead of monsters. Today, let simplicity be your strategy. Pick one small task—one thing that will create a ripple effect—and commit to it. This is the mark of real forward movement, the power of incremental gains that add up. It’s like taking a minute that stretches into an hour of focused presence—and in that presence, real magic happens. Not because you see all your future wins, but because you show up fully in the here and now. Yesterday, you rushed. Today, slow down to speed up. See the beauty inside the chaos. Make your mark from a place of calm, clarity, and courage. Simplicity is enough. "Be present. Be incredible.

Episode 100 - Matthew, Mark, Luke & John (Part 9)

The book of Acts tells the radical story of how the earliest followers of Jesus lived with a revolutionary dependance on the Holy Spirit. Rather than seeking to be everything and do everything in their own strength, they created a Spirit-filled community - one where the power and presence of the Holy Spirit was central to everything they did. 2000 years later, the invitation for today's followers of Jesus is to do the same.

This week, Rich continues the series by walking through Peter's message in Acts 2 - looking at how the Spirit is poured out so that everyone might be invited to know the life-changing truth that Jesus is both Lord and Messiah.

3. The Announcement - Rich Bowpitt

God opens doors. In Acts 16, we read of doors opened by God. He uses our sacrifices. He works through our children. He closes doors to show us different ones he's opened. He opens hearts to the pay attention to the gospel of Jesus Christ, which we can never do. God is the door opener.
