Are you ready to look at the six questions from Thursday? All of the questions are related to the Great Commission. Here we go! WHO—Who is called? Every follower of Jesus Christ. Discipleship is not just for pastors or leaders like Billy Graham. This was Christ’s universal call for all believers everywhere, for all time! […]

Today, let’s walk through Pastor Ernie’s question from this past weekend—“How do we help one another win our biggest battles?” The […]

His message “Teaming Up to Overcome Sin’s Relentless Pursuit” fit perfectly with our focus on discipleship. He […]

Earlier this week, I briefly mentioned ways you can fill the gap—that time between evening and morning. I talked about sleep, but how important is it to you? People used to sleep an average of 10 hours every night. But now a days, we have so many things keeping us awake. Aside from Thomas Edison’s […]

When was the last time you read through the Book of Genesis, specifically Genesis Chapter 1? This is the story of Creation! It’s in this chapter you learn that the gap—the time between two days—is really from evening until morning. A new day begins at midnight, but Scripture’s picture of a day starts when the […]

When you think of what God wants—what God wants from you—what comes to mind? Did you know that God doesn’t want Christians? He wants disciples! The word Christian is used three times in the entire New Testament and then only because Jesus’ followers were becoming too ethnically diverse to be regarded as a sect within […]

We call ourselves Christians but don’t want to be in it for the long run. Unfortunately, some of us spend too much of our lives waiting for the next thing to come along. First you learn to walk, then run. You start growing up and make it to middle school, then high school, then college! […]

I want to unpack more of Nathan’s message from this past weekend. I left off on Thursday by telling you that if you’re not on the right path, you have to get in CRISIS mode and do something about it. What is a crisis? It is “A time of intense difficulty, trouble, or danger; a time […]

Exclusive Private Virtual Event – “Narcissism and Breaking Its Hold”
Narcissism is at an all-time high. And it’s not just because we’ve become a society obsessed with how we look and making sure we’re #1. It’s because we’ve put ourselves at the center of our lives instead of God. Join Pastor Rob in this 45-minute private event, where he will discuss the challenges facing society today and how we can make powerful changes in our lives to break the self-centered hold and embrace a God-centered life.

Exclusive Live Webinar – “How to Help Your Teen Break Free of Social Media Addiction”
While it might not (yet) be considered a clinical addition, many in society can’t go 5 minutes without checking their phone to see how many likes they have for their latest post, or how many comments people have left. And our teens are especially susceptible. After all, they’ve been all but raised with a device in their hands. How do we help this next generation deal with the debilitating side effects social media can have on us? In this 90-minute webinar, Pastor Rob will discuss the issue and provide practical ways we can help our teens navigate these formative years in a positive way. There will also be a live Q & A session at the end. (A link to the recorded webinar will be provided after the live event.)
Overliked by Rob Singleton is a tome for such a time as this. Even though I work on television, I also make a living through social media. Coincidently, right before I started reading the pre-release copy, I had checked my "Likes'" and numbers on social media! How was I doing? Were my numbers growing? Declining? Did a few drop off?
It's so easy to get our self-esteem and self-worth tied to those likes and numbers.
Through Pastor Rob's book, we learn how frivolous and fake it can all be and ultimately, how it can lead to a miserable and unfulfilled life if left unchecked. The tools, scriptures, and "change of heart" takeaways that Pastor Rob provides at the end of each chapter help considerably shift the focus from there…to in here. He gently, but with statistics and examples, gives us a guide us to live a more authentic life.
In the book, Pastor Rob says, "Honesty is what sets us up for authentic relationships," and isn't that what we really all want?
As a woman over 40 in Hollywood, the expectations have never been higher. Overliked sites that, in one 12-month period, YouTube logged 169 billion views just for beauty-related content. Beauty is good… perfection is lethal. And don't I know it? I am on high-definition TV with glaring set lights, standing next to 20- to 30-year old young women daily; it's a test to stay solid and secure in your own skin.
I was posting perfectly lit and curated pictures of my "Beautiful" (heavily filtered) life; people followed and viewed but scrolled right along. However, when I let down the curtain, turned off the filter, and decided to share my real-life sorrows and struggles with cancer, the comments, words, notes, and numbers flooded. People want to see my honesty and weaknesses because they can relate.
Overliked shows us that when we pretend to be perfect, the only person we are hurting is ourselves.
Pastor Rob's easy and relatable storytelling draws the reader in. We find that our weaknesses become our strengths to help us touch, encourage, and heal others, not just impress them.
Thank you for this very needed and essential book that helps us realize that being real is the only way to have a true connection with our Lord and our friends and family.
In Overliked, through story references of David, we learn the Lord encourages us all to ignore appearance and stature. "For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:7)
This book is an important message for developing authenticity in our lives, which is far more critical than adding strangers, getting fake followers, and creating a heavily-filtered life experience. I promise you will really "LIKE" it.
