Whether you're navigating life transitions, seeking direction, or simply want to grow deeper in your faith, this message offers invaluable insights on learning from mistakes, choosing correction over permission, and embracing the mentors God places in your path—because moving forward with mentors is always better than cleaning up from consequences.

 

Make It Count!

If today were your last day, how would you live it? Pastor James Biddle challenges you to stop drifting through life and start living every day with intentional purpose, contagious passion, eternal perspective, and awareness of God's presence. Through the story of Queen Esther and practical daily choices—like adding value to people, serving others, connecting with family, and giving something away—discover how your daily decisions become doorways to your future destiny. Learn why Christianity takes on new meaning when you stop focusing on yourself and start investing in others, understanding that the most important thing to God is souls because souls count. Will the things you're living for today be worth Jesus dying for, and in 50 years, who will remember you not for your charisma, but for how your faith in Christ impacted their life?
