Coach Barnabas
Today's world is filled with negativity and incivility. Our mission is to be encouraged and to be an encouragement, learning from life experiences and God's Word. To find fulfillment and purpose in being a vehicle of inspiration.
Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.
1 Thessalonians 5:11 ESV

Ep 107: Give what you can't keep
For those who are in Christ, we have been given what we can't keep, and we've received what we can't lose! Some of the most influential voices in modern Christianity was in the spiritual bloodline of a complete unknown. You don't have to be big...
Ep 106: God and the air gun
Sometimes God speaks loudly and firmly to get out attention, and sometimes it's a calm, still small voice. When He wants us to deal with something, He provides multiple opportunities to take the test. #christianliving #faith #faithhabits #liste...
Ep 105: Dead people's stuff
Many of us are carrying things with us that are part of our past. God has called us from the past and given us a new life, meaning we still may have things we truly haven't buried. #christianlife #christianliving #faith #abundantlife

What seemed like a chance encounter many years ago absolutely wasn't coincidence. Do you have loved ones who have walked away from their faith? Don't give up. #faithjourney #pray #faithful #christianliving
Ep 103: Fighting FROM victory
Just like a basketball game for the ages played 52 years ago, we know that the battle is already won. Because of Jesus, we win! Even when it looks like a loss with only a few minutes to go, victory is ours through Jesus! #Victory #Jesus #UCLA #...
Ep 102: It's not how you start...
Many don't understand, and even criticize the love of God because He will forgive anyone, even those who commit horrible acts, when they repent and put their faith in God. But it's not how you start that matters. #Faith #Jesus #Love #Forgivenes...

Ep 98: Spittin' Image
In the creation story, Genesis 1:26 tells us we are made in God's image. Think about that! What an honor and amazing responsibility that is! #christianliving #faith #faithjourney #discipline #discipleship
Ep. 97: Which dog are you feeding?
Every single one of us has an internal battle going on. Do we choose good, or bad? Healthy ,or unhealthy? Spirit, or flesh? To feed one, you starve the other. #christianliving #faith #discipline #discipleship #battle #struggle #victory

Ep 93: Who is your story about?
Every one of us has a book of our lives. If you're reading this, your book is still in progress. Who is writing your book, and who is the central figure? #faith #faithjourney #jesus #christianliving #inspiration
EP 92: Can't please everyone

Merry Christmas! As we celebrate the birth of Jesus, let us also remember that as innocent and glorious as it was, He came to earth with a single purpose; to redeem mankind. To reconcile us to God. Jesus knew the mission before that silent nigh...
Ep 88: Friendly Fire

Ep 87: Time to delete
Whether by accident or on purpose, we collect a lot of stuff through life to the point that we can become bogged down by it. Some of it may be tangible things, some may be emotional, mental, even spiritual. Maybe it's time to delete some things...
