    <description>Let's face it...life sometimes is hard and can just suck. When we are faced with life's challenges we can be discouraged, get tired, and become weary. What we need is motivation, encouragement, and a helping hand that keeps us going. That's the idea of GRINDIT! We find our strength to endure when we focus on Jesus. God's own Son wasn't exempt from life's challenges and He didn't do anything to deserve what he went through! And yet He did...willingly, therefore we find our hope in Him.

  <description>There are many men and women way smarter than I will ever be but that doesn’t make their teaching right. I want to challenge you to read the bible for yourself and not study another man’s teaching and take it as gospel. Since the 1500s, man has fought and divided over teachings that are not from God, they are simply man’s ideas. Hundreds of denominations have formed from these teachings but before these teachings there was one church with one message. Paul said there is one foundation, Jesus, and we are to be careful on how we build upon that foundation. He also makes it clear there are things that Timothy, as well as us, are to do. We discuss these things in the second half of 2 Timothy.

  <description>We start the book of Mark and right off the bat we are introduced to a guy named John the Baptist. A guy who is dressed freaky, he never shaves, he is baptizing in the dirty waters of the Jordan River, and he is eating locusts and wild honey. You know that guy had to look and smell gross! But God used John in a mighty way. We need to quit making excuses as to why God will not use us and just let Him! What talents do you have? What is your passion?  Why not use it for the kingdom of God and for His glory?
