How Words Can Change Lives

Humility can feel like making yourself smaller, while the world tells you to stand out. But what if that's not it at all?In this episode, Dr. Stanley explains that genuine humility is about taking a posture before God that allows Him to work in your life. After that, we'll move into guided prayer to actually practice humility—by being honest with the Lord.

The Stength of a Humble Heart

It's easy to believe you should be further along by now—that you should have it all together, that God must be disappointed in your slow progress. In this episode, Dr. Stanley reminds us that God doesn't just see who we are today. He sees who we're becoming—the finished work He's been creating all along. 

After Dr. Stanley's teaching, we'll move into guided prayer and reflection to explore what it means to be "in progress"—not as a problem to solve, but as exactly where God intends you to be.

Scriptures referenced: Genesis 1:26; Ephesians 2:10; Philippians 1:6

The Creator Isn't Finished With You

Many Christians want to know God's will for them, but it can feel mysterious—like waiting for a clear sign that tells us exactly what to do. In this episode, Dr. Stanley reminds us that God's will isn't hidden from those who seek Him with a sincere heart. 

After Dr. Stanley's teaching, we'll move into guided prayer and reflection to think about God's will not as something to achieve, but as a way to be.
