Picture this: you're on a journey, aiming for a target, and every step you take is measured with consistency and faithfulness. We dive into this in our 'Destined to Grow' series. Pastor Ed Snyder paints a vivid picture of this journey, drawing insights from his personal weight loss journey. We unpack the significance of being steady and true, not just in our daily lives but, most importantly, in our walk with God. Based on the foundations of scripture, we explore the rewards and blessings in store for the steadfast and loyal ones. And if you've been wondering how to master the small things to be entrusted with the big ones, we've got you covered.

Moving along, you'll discover how to nurture and expand in grace and knowledge. From acknowledging the value of knowledge, experience, coaching, Bible study, and corporate worship to appreciating the pastor's role in our lives - we discuss it all. The book of Ephesians serves as our guide, outlining essential steps and common pitfalls on the growth path. We look closer at ourselves by suggesting personality and spiritual gift assessments to uncover our strengths and show us where we can best serve in ministry. To wrap up, we delve into understanding the link between spiritual gifts and our personalities and how to use this understanding to fortify our faithfulness in our walk with God. We hope you join us on this journey and share the blessings you experience.

Have you ever pondered the profound impact your immediate environment has on your spiritual growth? Brace yourself to unpack the far-reaching effects of our environment on our spiritual journey in this riveting episode. We focus on the importance of fostering intentional disciplines, such as prayer, Bible study, fellowship, and regular church attendance, and the role they play in maintaining our spiritual health. However, it's not all about the practices; the physical and social spaces we inhabit can either propel us forwards or become a stumbling block in our spiritual pursuit. We explore the necessity of stepping out of any circumstance that hinders our spiritual progress, highlighting that sometimes change isn't just good but essential.

The second segment of this enlightening episode emphasizes the invaluable role of the company we keep in influencing our spiritual journey. As the popular biblical wisdom in Proverbs 13:20 goes, it's prudent to surround ourselves with wisdom and distance ourselves from folly. We delve into the effects of immersing yourself in a positive, faith-filled environment and the potential hazards of finding yourself in a negative one. Whether it's in your relationships or old habits, this episode will arm you with key insights on how to pinpoint and navigate the environmental factors that influence your spiritual growth. Remember, staying connected to Jesus Christ is paramount in discerning what is right and beneficial for your spiritual journey. Tune in and let's journey together in spiritual growth!

Welcome to a special 4th of July episode of True North Nation, where we're celebrating freedom in all its forms! As your host, Pastor Ed Snyder, I promise to guide you through a journey of exploring the beautiful liberties we enjoy here in the United States, as well as the freedom bestowed upon us through Jesus Christ. We'll illuminate the concept of liberty and address the shackles many still bear, emphasizing the promise that Jesus's sacrifice brings – freedom from sin when we align ourselves with God.

Our exploration of freedom takes us into the heart of Galatians 5, where we dissect the power of choice and liberation from sin. Walk with me as we appreciate Christ's sacrifice for our transgressions and the ensuing liberation repentance brings. We acknowledge the cross as our emblem of freedom, much like the Statue of Liberty signifies the freedom of our nation. With enlightening conversations lined up with Brother Matt Tuttle, Brother Michael Watts, and Brother Greg Wheeler, we'll delve into the importance of consciously treading the path of righteousness and debunk the devil's deception, empowering us to stay on our path to our true north. Join us for this illuminating journey – find your freedom, find your destination!

As children, we often had a tendency to shift the blame onto our siblings for any mishaps that occurred. Taking responsibility for our actions was not something that came naturally to us. Unfortunately, this pattern often continues into adulthood, where we find ourselves caught up in the endless game of life.

The attack on Free Speech, the blatant attack on conservative Christian. The perversion that is coming to the surface in our world. It can be overwhelming unless...you have an antidote.

Did you ever wonder the value God sees in you is a purpose for His Kingdom?
What is our purpose to God?  We were created with a purpose, not just to be autonomously unique but vocationally set apart. 

Why do we struggle with finding our purpose, and how did we de-value ourselves in the process?

I love the stories in the Scripture where God calls people to do something special for him. 

Like you and me, these people are just common, ordinary people.

In this episode, we talk about how you can overcome and do anything you set your mind to do with the calling of God in your life. We rob ourselves of doing something great in the Kingdom of God because WE think we can't do it. Or we don't have the talent. If you have the passion, you will learn the know-how. 

I CAN do ALL THINGS through Christ that strengthens me.
