  • Fighting From the Inside Out

    Fighting From the Inside Out
    Jan 14 2026

    In this episode, Rachel reflects on Pastor Isaac’s teaching from James 4:1–3, where James asks a challenging question: What causes fights and quarrels among you? Rather than pointing outward, James invites us to look within.


    This conversation explores how many conflicts are rooted in desires for control, power, and comfort, and how those same motives can shape the way we pray. Using the Lord’s Prayer as a framework, the episode encourages listeners to reorder their prayers by honoring God’s name, seeking His kingdom and will, and then bringing their needs before Him.


    This episode invites honest self-examination and points toward a different way of living; one shaped by surrender, humility, and peace that begins on the inside.

  • Why Fight?

    Why Fight?
    Jan 12 2026

    What if the real reason for conflict in your life isn’t “out there,” but within your own heart?


    In James 4, we uncover the true source of our fights and frustrations-- unchecked desires for control and self-interest that shape our relationships and even our prayers. This passage calls us to examine our motives, reorder our priorities, and seek God’s will above our own, leading to inner transformation and a life marked by peace and righteousness.

  • A Call to Intentional Living

    A Call to Intentional Living
    Jan 7 2026
    In this episode, we reflect on James 3:18 and the quiet power of intentional living. In a world that pushes us to be loud, fast, and right, Scripture invites us to a different way: sowing peace. Through stories from a guest ranch, parenting, and everyday relationships, we explore how gentleness, patience, and a transformed heart produce a harvest of righteousness over time. Drawing on the wisdom of Proverbs, Micah, the teachings of Jesus, and John Wesley, this conversation reminds us that true righteousness begins within and is expressed through love for God and neighbor. Like consistent exercise, small daily choices to sow peace quietly shape our hearts, our relationships, and our communities.

  • Planting Peace

    Planting Peace
    Jan 5 2026
    James 3:18 reminds us that “peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.” This message explores how our words, tone, and approach shape the outcomes we experience in relationships, work, and family life. Using ranch wisdom and everyday moments, we’re challenged to consider whether we bring peace or pressure into our conversations. When we slow down, lower the noise, and choose what truly matters, we create space for godly fruit to grow. Ultimately, this teaching invites us to ask: What seeds am I planting and what kind of harvest do I want?

  • Contrasts in Wisdom

    Contrasts in Wisdom
    Dec 29 2025
    This message explores James chapter 3 and the contrast between earthly wisdom and wisdom from heaven. We’re challenged to examine what truly shapes our decisions—selfish ambition and temporary priorities, or God’s eternal perspective. While everyday concerns like careers, health, and security matter, they were never meant to be our primary focus. Through Scripture, we’re invited to develop heavenly wisdom that filters every decision through a divine lens, shifting our investment from what fades to what lasts forever. This teaching calls us to move beyond knowledge and develop wisdom that transforms how we live, love, and choose.
