Unlock Your Potential: 5 Series on Growth
Don’t let anything keep you from living up to your full potential as a leader. The LiveUp Podcast will feature 5 series, each discussing a different area of personal or professional growth.
Married Well
Marriage Strengthening
God tells us that “two shall become one.” What often makes marriage so challenging is that our own individual lack of growth creates a series of unrealistic expectations that both partners have for one another. This series will sort through how your individual growth can assist your marriage in becoming what you’ve dreamed of.
Hard marriage isn’t the way it “just has to be.” It is a result of how we walk with God differently in a way that creates love for the other individual while we also respect ourselves. Building strong relationships and marriages is not easy, but with the right tools, you’ll be better equipped to understand and resolve conflict.
Spiritual Living
Personal Development
No one is perfect, and yet, we try to appear as though we are. God is a patient personal development coach who never abandons us. This series will discuss the ways in which God creates opportunities for joy, intimacy, and above all, spiritual growth.
Effective Servanthood
Leadership through Service
Effectively helping others fulfill their Godly design by walking with Him more intimately isn’t just difficult… it often requires a miracle.
We will discuss how God is interested in every aspect of an individual’s growth, how relating to others can be challenging, and strategies to make your leadership more effective.
Addiction Free
Sober Living
This series will discuss how you or your loved one can break the chain, stop cycling through the same sins that enslave you, and move toward a more Christ-like life. Discover hope and recovery in faith.
All Men
Successfully Managing Sexuality
Whether you’re struggling with your own sexuality or are a counselor or ministry leader who works with those who are hurting, don’t let anything keep you or your clients from sexual wellness.
We will discuss concepts that encourage each to understand the gift God gives us in our sexual interests, and how it fits in with our personal development and values while expressing it positively within a committed relationship that is based on love. Look at how God designed things to be, and how we can often mishandle this important aspect of who we are.
