We see limits everywhere in our life: The words we say, how fast we drive, and much more. Without knowing it, we take the same ideology of limits and place them on God. Limitless is a series focused on how great our lives with Jesus can be if we take off the limits in our thinking and truly allow Him to be who He is in our lives. Welcome to week five and the finale of Limitless: Unexpected Keys (Business Guys & Ultrasounds) with special guest Justin Trapp. Justin is a ministry-minded entrepreneur who founded Ministry Pass (https://ministrypass.com) and Sermonary (https://sermonary.com). In 2014, on a mission trip to Madagascar, after he Facetimed into his wife’s very first ultrasound of their first child, Justin felt God’s leading to step way outside his comfort zone and focus on one thing, helping pastors. That calling became Ministry Pass, a sermon resource library used by 50,000 church leaders in over 125 countries. Since 2014, Justin and his team have been actively working to help pastors build better sermons, in less time, with more impact, all for one purpose— to give them back the time they need to be ministers of God’s grace to His people.

August is a transition month, think about it, we are coming out of summer: A time of traveling, rest, relaxation. There is something to be said about the time after summer. We are shifting our lives back to things that we deem as priority. School, work, and much more. With all the transition, where does God fit? Is He a priority? Our relationship with Jesus should always take precedent. Making something a priority means its important, making someone a priority means they matter. Is your relationship with Christ a priority? Let's talk about it! Welcome to week two of Back At It: Prioritizing Our Relationship with Christ (Don't Get it Twisted).

WELCOME TO 2021, YOU MADE IT!! In December we spent time talking to some great guest about their 2020. Before we threw it out as the worst year ever, we answered a few questions: In 2020 what did you see? What did you gain? What did you feel? What perspective did you have?

A global pandemic, divisive politics, racial injustice, massive loss, and much more. We reflected and learned some key things, but now we are here, 2021. We left 2020 and entered the unknown of this new year, some with anticipation and others with fear or anxiety. Before you get too deep into 2021, I encourage you to reboot your thinking with fresh perspective. For the fifth episode of 2021 and our bonus extension of Perspectives, Vantage Point welcomes
