What is it that allows some people to achieve more than others when all else seems equal? How do I reach past the storms I am facing to fulfill my potential? How do we extend beyond our comfort zone to our capacity zone? These were some of the thoughts I was pondered...
"Why does God need us" has been asked many times and in many different ways over the years. It's an overwhelming thought if you sit with it too long, but it's one that we wanted to address this week. In this short, but powerful video hear a UPG worker and friend share...
My flight was scheduled for 6:15am. That was wheels up. So even though I wasn’t checking any bags, that meant an 0-dark-30 arrival time at Indianapolis International. As I wandered through the terminal with a few hundred other half-sleeping passengers, I figured I had...
I think it's safe to say we all desire to make an impact on the world. We might even go as far as saying we want to change the world, which is noble, but is it possible? This week Erik shares an idea on how we all can actually make an impact, but maybe not in the way...
You’re probably reading this and you were most likely not the winner of the recent Mega Millions or Powerball jackpot. While listening to the radio the other day, the hosts talked at length about the possibility of being the winner of the jackpot. The first host...

“Something happens when you feel ownership. You no longer act like a spectator or consumer, because you’re an owner. Faith is at its best when it’s that way too. It’s best lived when it’s owned.” -Bob Goff Earlier in the day, I had spoken to a group of ministers about...
It's always amazing when you hear stories of how God is moving in unreached places all around the world. It's even more amazing when those stories meet you face to face in the most unexpected time and space. In this week's video we hear a story about how a Russian...
Circling back to our conversation with David Tripple we wanted to ask him how being a teacher connects him to his faith. David is a teacher at Covenant Christian High School in Indianapolis, Indiana and you are going to love the wisdom he shares with us.
It’s easy to look through the filter of social media and say “they” are the problem, but what if we took a moment and began to turn issues we have into people. How would that change the situation? How would it change us? Well, that’s the exact idea we are exploring in this week’s video.
