God wants to be "with you' right where you're at. But what does that look like practically? How do we experience His “withness”? How do we invite him into our everyday lives — our feelings — our emotions? And what transformation can happen when we let Him move through us?

This next year, God wants to move in and through you in a way He never has before. The question is, do you have the energy and strength you need to pull it off? The Bible declares our bodies are a “temple of the Holy Spirit,” but if that is true, why don’t we steward our bodies? Why should we steward our bodies? And ultimately, how do we steward our bodies?

Every child of God hears the voice of God, but one of the fastest ways to fall for the lies of the enemy is to not be able to accurately identify the voice of Truth in the midst of all the others. So how does God speak to us? And how can we distinguish His voice from the rest?

The set apart life demands for you to be spiritually strong. And when we choose to not grow spiritually, we get stuck right where the enemy wants us — ineffective and unfruitful in The Kingdom. So how do we grow in strength? What is the proper way to grow? And what steps can we take to step towards the calling in which God wants us to walk in?

If we are to ready ourselves for God to move in a way like never before, we have to be careful that we don’t open any new doors to the enemy. So how do we do that? We must consecrate ourselves before the Lord. But what does that look like? How do we set Biblical boundaries? What does this priestly mandate even have to do with us? And what does sacrifice look like when we choose the “set apart” life?

As long as we live on this earth, we must recognize that we have an enemy — and he will do everything possible to keep you away from God, and the call of God on your life. So, if you find yourself in a season of spiritual warfare — what must you do? How do you stay strong amidst the attacks? How do we recognize the devices and strategies that the enemy uses? And how can we better prepare for attacks in the future?

Unforgiveness is the #1 open door to the enemy — which means it’s also the #1 tactic in the enemy’s playbook. He loves it when we hold onto unforgiveness, and hates it when we forgive. So what are the dangers of unforgiveness? What are the benefits of forgiving? Are there levels to forgiveness? And ultimately, what does it look like to truly forgive?

When we get the full understanding of everything we have access to through Christ, it becomes increasingly obvious that the idea of “lacking” ANYTHING is a lie from the enemy. But how do we recognize it when the enemy tries to feed it to us? What does it take to fully realize all that we have access to? And what are some practical ways that we can grow in the knowledge of God?

The #1 thing which makes the Christian life so difficult is not Satan, it is actually any door in a Christian’s life which is open to Satan. Open doors can lead to strongholds, and strongholds can lead to bondages. But how do we know we have open doors? What is a stronghold? How are bondages built? And how do we tear down a stronghold?

In today's world, it's almost impossible to avoid politics, but as a Christian, how should we navigate the political landscape? How do we embrace biblical principals as we cast our votes? What does the Bible say about politics? And how do we tackle the most polarizing issues like Jesus?
