Do you feel like it’s been a struggle to carry friendships throughout the different seasons of life? Maybe it’s not their fault. Perhaps it’s something in you, something you can fix! In this episode, Kevin is going to talk about three things that every relationship needs and what happens when one of those is missing. Listen now…

Are you living with more drama, stress, and frustration than you can handle? Here’s a simple truth: God doesn’t want the lifestyle for you! You weren’t meant to live with drama. You weren’t meant to live frustrated. You are offered a better way, and that comes through Jesus! During this quick talk, Kevin is going to show you how we get caught up in drama, frustration, and stress and how to deal with it!

Too often we miss out on the things of God because we don’t really understand what God has for us. Our language is often inadequate in communicating about the promises God has made, and we have subsequently hijacked some terminology to mean things it shouldn’t. In this simple conversation, Kevin is going to talk about PEACE and help us all see that it’s something Jesus is offering us right now!

During this episode we’ll talk about how we define our relationship to God. We work so hard to define our relationship with everyone else, but often we leave our role in our relationship with God simply unexamined. Jesus had a lot say about this, and it all started when He declared “The Kingdom of God has come.” He is our King, and when we embrace that… everything changes!

During this episode of THE NEXT STEPS, Kevin is going to talk about something we all struggle with in varying degrees: CONTROL. We often live under the illusion of control, but in truth, we are not in control of much. Listen as Kevin shares some simple wisdom that points you to the better way of living by surrendering and trusting God!

During this episode of The Next Steps, Kevin quickly examines the life of Nehemiah to show us that living with an orientation of purpose changes our daily lives. Too often we live from an orientation of obligation, more focused on what we need to do instead of what we get to do. Nehemiah shows us how to find joy and contentment in purpose!

For many of us, Christmas is the “most wonderful time of the year”. That’s not true for everyone. There are some of us that will experience significant pain this Christmas. So… how do you cope? What do you do? During this episode of The Next Steps, Kevin will talk through the problem of pain and the answer that the message of Christmas gives us!

During this episode of The Next Steps with Kevin Simmons we’ll deal with the topics of BIG and LITTLE. Often we neglect the BIG things in life and don’t understand how our little decisions impact them. This is expanded in detail in the teaching of Jesus in The Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25. Let’s learn together how to be faithful in the little things so that we can grow the big ones.

During this episode of The Next Steps with Kevin Simmons you’ll see that many of us have confused wants and needs. It’s not just a STUFF issue, while that is a major issue for many of us. It’s a TIME issue, too. Listen and be encouraged to clear out your schedule to make time for what really matters!

During this episode, you’ll hear how hope affects our daily lives. We all need hope, but often we’re not willing to endure the inconvenience of hope. It’s much easier to give in to doubt, worry, and fear. Hope has so much more to offer. We can ALWAYS have hope, even in our darkest moments, and this episode will help you see that!
