Light Bearers in Training
Light Bearers in Training was inspired by the novel "Light Bearers: The Awakening". Just as Sarah was awakened to the Light and trained in her powers, we are awakened to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and we need to train to live for Him in this world and carry forward the message of His good news. This is a devotional-like Podcast geared towards teens and young adults, helping them walk in the Light of Jesus Christ and reject the lies of the enemy. Parents of teens can also listen to help facilitate discussions with their children. In a time when darkness seems to be winning as Light Bearers, we stand firm in our faith and our identity as blood bought children of the most High King!

Happy New Year my friends. New year resolutions are all around us, but I disagree that a new year should equal a new you, no matter what messages you are seeing on social media or in your email because you are fearfully and wonderfully made. Jesus already made you new when you received Him as your Savior.
While God is big into offering fresh starts, in fact, Lamentations 3:22 reminds us that His mercies are new every day, His gift of turning to a new calendar year doesn’t need to be met with the harsh criticisms and standards we inflict upon ourselves. Whether it’s losing weight, starting an overambitious Bible reading plan, 10 habits we are going to drop or pickup- all of that is too much to handle. Instead of seeing a positive change in our lives, our “resolutions” usually end up as a weight of shame around our necks come February.
On today’s episode we are going to take stock of 2025, rejoice in the things we accomplished, and start the year on a high note. We don’t always give ourselves enough credit, looking only at the things we didn’t accomplish or didn’t do up to our high standards and then comes the new year where we stack even more expectations upon ourselves.
What if, instead of putting more weight and pressure on ourselves to fix each of our flaws and the world at the same time, we set “new intentions” for the new year?
