Hello and thank you for tuning in! You are awesome and I am so glad that you are here seeking to dig in deeper! Today two videos enjoy and get ready for the challenge.



The Challenge: Okay so you saw the behind the music clip and then you heard and saw the video of the song.  So dig in do you give God everything or do you keep somethings back?  Today I want to challenge you to give Him everything, and live for Him.  To do this simply let Go and follow God.  Seek to stay connected to Him and ask Him questions throughout the day.  Make it a point to be a light to others.  Find people you can help.  Ask God to show you cool things throughout the day!  Ask What He Wants You To Do!  It is not easy at first but the more that you do it the easier it gets.  You eventually get tuned into God!


Verse For The Day:  Today from the Old Testament Isaiah 58:11 The Lord will guid you always; he will satisfy our needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame.  You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.  Trust in Gods word and it will never fail you!  This is a strong promise to depend on and believe in!  Read this verse and dig in!


The Exit:  Thank you so much for tuning in today!  It is going to be an awesome day!   Live for God and follow Him and He will lead you to the right places!
Be Blessed!

Hello and thank you for tuning into YDC.  Today I want you to think about who you are following.  Why do you make the decisions that you make each day?  Why do you do the things that you do.  What guides the decisions that you make each day.  We all have a choice, and we need to really think about what is guiding us to make the choices that we make.



The Challenge:  It is an old saying from long ago, it was a campaign set in motion. WWJ  which stands for What Would Jesus Do?  Today I challenge you to ask that question in the decisions and choices that you make as you go through your day.  Base your decisions that you make off of the following of Jesus.  What Would Jesus Do?  With each decision and each crossroad as how would Jesus handle this then follow His lead.  You can simply ask Him each time you have a decision to make.  “Jesus what would you have me do?”  Listen for His answer and then follow His lead.  If you don’t hear an answer right away then ask WWJD? and make your decision on what you believe that He would do. It’s a challenge and it is tough but I challenge you to do it!


Verse For The Day:  John 8:12 says “When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” This is encouraging information that gives us hope that He will guide us and lead us in the decisions that we have to make each day.  When we seek His help in decisions we are choosing to walk in light not in darkness.  Trust me it is easier to walk in the light than it is to walk in the dark.


Thank you for tuning in.  Keep at and keep seeking to draw closer to God!  It will pay off in big ways as you continue to choose light over darkness.
Be Blessed!

 Hello and thank your for tuning into YDC.  Today I want you to think about the things that really cause fear to enter into your life.  We all have things that we are afraid of and we all have things that make us want to stay safe in our shells.  But is there really anything that we need to be afraid of?  Is there really something out there… Take a look at this cool spoken word on Fear.



The Challenge:  Today I want you to think of something that brings fear to your life and I want you to make steps towards facing that fear.  I want you to realize that God is for you and He is with you and in that there is no fear.  Okay so lets get real, today I want you to tell someone about your relationship with God.  I want you to tell someone why He loves you and He loves them.  I want you to share the love that God has for you with someone else.  Just make a step in that direction.  We all get nervous when we think about talking about God.  But today I want you to share His love with others.  Step out of your comfort zone and give it a try.


Verse For The Day:  Today I have a power packing verse for you that gives you freedom over your fears, check this out 1 John 4:4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.  Okay so we are being told that we are God’s Children and that means that He is our daddy, and Daddy watch over their children.  Then on top of that we are being told that the one who is in us (that would be the Holy Spirit.) Well He is greater than anything in the world!  So go share God’s love and be bold because you are strong and mighty.


Thank you for tuning into YDC I hope that you will find the courage today to share Gods love with others!   Be Strong and Share His Love!

Hello and thank you for tuning in.  Today I want you see that God is Big very big.  You may already know that, and sometimes you might think yeah He is so big I feel Him stepping on me all the time.  When we think of God being Big you need to know that means that His love for you is BIG.  His Love and Grace for us is as Big as He is.  Check out this song by Matthew West “Grace Wins”


The Challenge:  Today I challenge you to receive and believe in the Grace that you receive each and everyday from God.  Often times it is present but we forget to take and make it our own.  When you receive Grace you feel lighter, more free and defiantly closer to God.  The Goal in life is to be as close to God as we can.  So receive Grace and draw close to God. To do this say this prayer today, simple as it is it is powerful.  “ Papa God, today I receive what you have for me.  Today I take all the things that I keep messing up and put them down at the foot of the Cross.  Today as I go on my way I want you to go with me, and I will carry your Grace with me knowing that you love me and care for me.  Thank you PaPa God for loving me the way you love me.


Verse For The Day:  Romans 5:1-2 1. Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.  Did you read that you have peace with God.  That is gotta give you a good day feeling.  You are at peace.  We have Grace.  Live out this verse today and I promise you will live a different day than you would have before!


Thank you for tuning in.  You are awesome now make it a point to have an awesome day! God has so many great things for us.  Live large Live Big!  God Loves you Big.
Praying for you and your Day!
Be Blessed,

Hello to all, I want to thank you for being here today checking in. Today we have an honest deep hearted video from Matthew West.  He talks about being real, and what it was like to grow up a preachers kid.  He is raw and real  so check it our.

The Challenge:  Today I challenge you to be raw and real.  How is your relationship with God growing?  How is it different this year than it was last year?  We have to take honest inventory and check in with God to see that we are growing deep with Him.  It is easy to get comfortable and then we just don’t really grow.  So take inventory, right down things that you are seeing God do in your life now, answer this question what are you seeking from God right now?  What are your expectations of God, how do you want to see Him move in your world.  Last question and this one is a stinger, ask yourself this.  How am I responding to what God is doing in my life?  This is not a judge you challenge this is a get you thinking challenge.  If you feel judged the step away and come back with the understanding that God wants to grow in every part of your life.  He is not out to judge and condemn you!


Verse For The Day:  The verse for the day is to encourage you to get closer to God.  Today it is James 4:7-8 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.  To get closer to God you need only to submit to Him resist bad things and then draw near to Him and He will draw near to you.  Drawing near is as easy as reading the Bible, praying, just sitting quietly and listing for His voice.  Not rocket science, so give it a try.


 Thank you for tuning into YDC!  You are awesome and believe me if you go after Him, you will find Him because He is always going after us! Be Blessed

Hello to all my friends, thank you for tuning into YDC for today.  Okay close your eyes and ask yourself what do you see?  Did you do it? What did you see?  Darkness right.  Yeah I did it and I only sway darkness.  Then I left my eyes closed too long snd I thought that i might take a nap.  So I opened my eyes back up.  Today I want you to realize that you have light in you, because you have hope you have the Holy Spirit in you.  Many don’t and that is troubling and sad.  So today we are going to continue to be living as light. 



The Challenge:  Today I challenge you to live as light, which means that you live above all the noise that is around you.  You live like you are loved because you are loved.  You take the love that you receive and you share that love with others.  Lets face it you live and you know God, and God loves you each day.  He loves you without judgment.  You need to love and live as a light today to the people around you that don’t know His love, don’t know His kindness.  Live today in the truth of who you are!  You are a child of God!  As you live out of the love that He is giving you take notice of the people who draw close to you.  Take notice and them and share the love that He has given you to them…  Go for it, it is what you were created for. 


Verse For The Day:  Ephesians 5:8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light.  This verse is being given to you to remind you that you are a child of God, and to remind you that light lives inside of you and you need to let it out.  The thief does not want you to know that you are a child of God.  So put this verse in your heart and live out of it each day. 


Thank you for tuning in you are awesome, and there are more great things out there for you than you can eve imagine.  Keep digging in and putting the challenges into practice! Love you guys and gals.

Hello my friends, okay so lets just throw this one out there, we need to stop judging others, and start seeing what they are going through so that we might be able to help and assist them.  Far too many times we make quick judgements and then we lack the ability to see how we might be the change for that person.  If we really know what is going on inside someones heart and we gain insight to the road that they are walking down then we can really help them out.  When we judge we write them off and offer no help.  What was Jesus known for, judging or offering help and life change?  You be the judge…



The Challenge: Today your challenge is to learn someones story.  What is there life like what is there story?  Seek to understand why they do what they do, seek to understanding how they feel about certain things.  Okay so if this challenge scares you then do it  on yourself.  What is your story, why do you do the things you do?  You have to start somewhere.  We need to get into peoples lives and offer them light and truth and friendship.  But we have to care, we have to really show them that Jesus cares.  Jump into someones life find out how they are doing, see where they need help, listen and care.


Verse For The Day:  John 13:34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.  We need to love other people, this verse hits me on the head, I love the verse and I want to live it out but sometimes, I am just a goof ball, don’t be a goof ball, follow this verse and love one another.  Keep this verse in front of you think about it and eat it up like it was a cheese burger from CP Burger.


 Alright my friends thanks for tuning in, Get after it live today Like it was going to be the best day that you have ever lived and love others as you go about your way!

Hello to all!  Today I want you to think about the ability you have to help others.  To be a friend, or even a guide to others that will help them see a life that is worth living.  Today as you look around you think about who was the last person you helped?  Who is the last person that you had a kind word for?  This video is on the dramatic side but it makes the point that we can all have impact on others around us if we make a point to be a light in the dark world around us. 



The Challenge: Today it is not about you but about others.  I know we all have stuff that is in front of us and things that we need to get done or things that we are dealing with.  If you can set that stuff aside for a time and seek to be a light for someone else.  Be a light, be a friend, be the person you always wanted to be.  When you take your eyes off of your own problems and think about others you will find that it is easy to be a light to others. 


Verse For The Day: Ecclesiastes 4:9-129 
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor 10 If either of them falls down,
one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.  No one likes to go it alone in life be a friend and a light for others today and invite them to join along with you as you head on your way.  Be A Light!


The Exit:  Thank you for tuning into YDC! Keep it up and keep seeking Him!  Each day you will learn more about yourself as you seek Him!
Be Blessed!

:Hello to all, and thank you for tuning into YDC, today!  So who are you and what makes you, you?  It’s a tough question and one if you think about it to long you might well get a little cuckoo.  Okay so take a look at this short video from Britt Nicole and lets think about how we learn about who we are.



The Challenge:  Okay so yes the Bible tells us time and time again that we are awesome, because we are children of the only God!  That our God made us and loves us deeply!  If this is true then why is it so hard to believe?  Why do we always wonder who we are and where did we come from?  Okay so maybe we don’t wonder where we came from, but we do question who we are and what makes us, us. So today your challenge is to do only this and see how it changes things around you.  When you get there take a look at the verse of the day.  Write it down and I want you to make it a point to memorize this verse today!  I want you to smile about who you are every time you work on memorizing it. I want you to live out of that verse today like it was food, good food.  Like CP Burger, fries and milk shake!  As you do this pay attention to the people around you and see if because you believe and live out of your true identity, if it doesn’t affect the people around you.  Boom there ya go, now get after it. 


Verse For The Day:  Okay so here is the verse of the Day.  Psalm 139:14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;  your works are wonderful, I know that full well.  Okay so if you were really paying attention then you might have noticed that in the video the got the reference wrong and placed this verse in 139:17  trust me everybody makes mistakes.  But believe me it is verse 14, don’t believe me great look it up in your own Bible.  Now this is a rich and cool verse, dig in I challenge you to put it to memory, and if you do memorize it and you come and show me you memorized it, and you are the first one to do so at XGT I will have a prize for you!  Live it put it in your heart and I promise your day will be different!


Thank you for tuning into YDC! I hope that it makes your day and your attitude better as you realize how awesome He is affects you and causes you to be awesome too!
Praying for you!
Be Blessed!

Hello to all and thank your for tuning into YDC.  Today I want to ask you do you fully understand the battle?  Are you fully ready to fight?  As God is our provider one of the things that He will fully provide for us at all times is strength for the battle!  He will always help us stand and help us in the battle!  Lets face it He has granted us the victory, now we need to fight!



The Challenge: Today I challenge you to fight the fight, to live as a person who is in the battle! this person is a person who is kind to others, forgiving others, this is a person who has a smile for everyone.  This is a person who is looking for God to show them a person who needs them.  You see you will need to be ready to fight to do this.  You will need God on your side if you are going to love others all day and seek to do what is right.  You will be in the fight of your life! 


Verse For The Day: Okay so I have a rather long section that will encompass the verse of the day. Ephesians 6: 10-18 The Armor of God 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Dig into this section, God set us up to be light in a world that needs light!  The Battle awaits, will you be ready today?


Thank you as always for tuning into the YDC! I hope that you are finding a great sense of growth and you journey through these devotions. Study draw close to Him and You will find Him there with you!
Be Blessed!
