Navigating Life From The Cross

Are You Under Its Control?

 Welcome. Thanks for joining our community of people who desire to know God deeply and have a life transformation.

In this video by Pastor Scott Thom titled "Are You Under Its Control?," a compelling story about a humorous encounter during a sheriff's ride-along highlights deeper insights into life's influences. Pastor Thom discusses the importance of being vigilant and sober-minded amidst various influences—emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical. He prompts viewers to reflect on positive influences that nurture growth and well-being while also encouraging them to identify and eliminate negative influences that may subtly take control. This message urges personal responsibility and proactive steps towards living a balanced and intentional life.

Why you absolutely need a coach - So life doesn't punch you in the face

 You are probably not like most Christians. 

You desire to grow in your new life in Christ and a deeper relationship with Jesus.

In this new life, you must conquer your giants.  You want to know how to overcome fear, anxiety, and negativity.  You yearn to go farther in your life, work, and family.

There is purpose in Christ and you crave to be part of God’s greater plan and to have meaning in life.  Problems, sins, and trials arise in life but you require answers to life’s problems.  There are others you love and want to share your faith with.  This is the place for you.

 Navigating Life From The Cross is a serious discipleship podcast to mentor you in these biblical solutions.  I’m Pastor Scott Thom.  I have discipled thousands as a teacher in several Bible colleges and hundreds in leadership training programs.  This has been a thirty-year passion for me. I have written the book on disciple-making (Discipleship On Fire).  I know how to disciple people in Christ.

We must put on Christ.  It is a decision followed by an action.  Once someone shows you the way then your life will transform.

Join me on this journey to the fullness we have in Christ. 

Smile ~ and make life happen!
