Are your current circumstances not what you believed they would be, could be, or should be? When we are faced with difficulties in life, we can often wonder why we are experiencing them, as well as how God could possibly be using us or growing us in those situations. Despite being sold into slavery by his brothers, Joseph served with excellence, integrity, kindness, and joy. We may not understand why we're going through certain things, but we can trust that God is with us and shaping us into the person we are meant to be.For more information, visit lakepointe.church/dailydrive

Today's podcast discusses how we can trust God's plan for our lives when we can't see the bigger picture. God's plan for our lives is more about who we are becoming as people than what we do or where we go. It's important to desire a relationship with God more than His answers for our lives. It is out of that intimacy that we become sensitive to his voice of leadership.For more information, visit lakepointe.church/dailydrive

In this episode, Pastor Mike Breaux dives into three foundational principles for understanding God's will. First, we learn that God's will is more about the person we are becoming than what we do or where we go. Second, we discover that God longs for us to desire Him more than His answers for our life. And third, we emphasize that our role is not to find God's will but to follow God's voice.For more information, visit lakepointe.church/dailydrive

Are you someone who's constantly seeking answers from God? Do you feel like you're more interested in God's plan for your life than in God Himself? You're not alone! In this episode, Pastor Mike Breaux discusses the principle that God wants us to desire Him MORE than His answers for our life. So, let's prioritize our relationship with God above all else, seek His face and presence, and trust that He will guide and instruct us.For more information, visit lakepointe.church/dailydrive

When we think about God's will, our minds often jump to decisions, choices, and options, but God's primary focus is on who we are. God is not just a directional guide but rather a sculptor who wants to mold us into the masterpiece He has envisioned for us. Today's episode offers a powerful reminder that God is actively working in our lives, shaping us into the person He has designed us to be.For more information, visit lakepointe.church/dailydrive

Do you ever feel lost or unsure of where you're headed in life? Do you wish you had a GPS to guide you through life's twists and turns? God can be that GPS for you. Just like the Waze app, God can show you the fastest route to your destination, warn you of traffic and accidents, and even take you on a scenic route if that's what you need.For more information, visit lakepointe.church/dailydrive

God transforms us as we allow Him to work. When we surrender and focus on what is true, our behavior transforms. Not because we try harder but because He makes us new when we allow Him in. All we need to do is believe. God will do the rest.For more information, visit lakepointe.church/dailydrive

We have to renew our minds because it’s so easy to go back to the old way of thinking. We are made new in Christ and our past identity no longer is who we are. Being in an honest community and establishing new positive habits helps us walk in the truth of who we are. We are free from what we do, but walking in freedom is our choice.For more information, visit lakepointe.church/dailydrive

Like a football player being traded to a new team, we have put on a new jersey in Christ. We played for the enemy, but now we have been put on a new team. Pastor Mike reminds us that even though it might be difficult not reverting to how we played previously, that doesn't change the team we belong to. Big idea: Don't allow old habits to confuse you about which team you are on.For more information, visit lakepointe.church/dailydrive

Guilt can be helpful in showing us something is wrong. Shame, on the other hand, comes from unresolved guilt and accuses us of being something we are not. Grace is the weapon to fight shame. We gain access to this grace through faith in the truth of what Jesus has done. We pray that today’s episode encourages you!For more information, visit lakepointe.church/dailydrive
