It’s somewhat ironic how we yell at people who are standing right in front of us. What we have to say seems so urgent, we speak in unnecessarily loud volumes out of anger or to get a point across. Have you ever yelled at God out of anger? Or, have you ever wished He would […]

The frustrating thing about being in the wilderness is that it seems to last longer than seasons in the valley! It’s a barren, dry, and desolate place where it’s easy to feel alone. You might have experienced this at some point in your life, or maybe you’re going through this right now. Do you ever find […]

Whether you’re a believer or not, you’re going to have highs and lows in life. And while you know God is always with you and gives you the strength you need to push through, do you ever stop and wonder where that strength really comes from? If you’re a follower of Christ, you know you have […]

We just started a new series called “God with Us” this Sunday! My message focused on how God is always with us regardless of our circumstances. It’s easy to believe and feel that God is with you when everything is going your way, when you’re on a mountaintop! But what about difficult times, the valleys? […]

I touched on faith earlier in the week and all of the blessings that come from faithfulness! But are there consequences to living without it—living in unbelief? Unbelief can actually be hazardous to your health, and it affects people in three ways. The first thing it does is blind your eyes and make you skeptical. […]

Yesterday was our final “At the Movies” message, and I hope everyone walks away this week with a deeper understanding of the Bible! During this last message, we explored how the concepts in Miracle on 34th Street relate to what the Bible says about faith. We see a young girl, Susan, putting up with Christmas rather […]

Earlier this week I talked about the importance of all emotions and how the movie Inside Out reveals this importance. But do you ever try to distance yourself from the world of emotions? This sometimes happens when emotions become overwhelming—people would rather not deal with them at all. For some men, they were raised to believe […]

This was our third “At the Movies” Sunday! We took a look at Pixar’s Inside Out and the power emotions have in our lives. For anyone who hasn’t seen this movie, it’s an animated story about the emotions (portrayed as characters) that live inside of a young girl named Riley—Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust. […]

As we continued our “At the Movies” series this weekend, we examined the movie Lion. This movie is based on the true story of Saroo Brierley, a young boy born in an impoverished village in India. Saroo was tragically displaced from his family as a young boy while working with his brother. After surviving alone […]

Earlier this week I examined Barnum’s life in The Greatest Showman. Like all of us, his life is a combination of success and failure. He is driven by dreams and aspirations, but is at the same time driven by the need to “measure up.” His father-in-law (the same man who mistreats him when he’s child), […]

Exclusive Private Virtual Event – “Narcissism and Breaking Its Hold”
Narcissism is at an all-time high. And it’s not just because we’ve become a society obsessed with how we look and making sure we’re #1. It’s because we’ve put ourselves at the center of our lives instead of God. Join Pastor Rob in this 45-minute private event, where he will discuss the challenges facing society today and how we can make powerful changes in our lives to break the self-centered hold and embrace a God-centered life.

Exclusive Live Webinar – “How to Help Your Teen Break Free of Social Media Addiction”
While it might not (yet) be considered a clinical addition, many in society can’t go 5 minutes without checking their phone to see how many likes they have for their latest post, or how many comments people have left. And our teens are especially susceptible. After all, they’ve been all but raised with a device in their hands. How do we help this next generation deal with the debilitating side effects social media can have on us? In this 90-minute webinar, Pastor Rob will discuss the issue and provide practical ways we can help our teens navigate these formative years in a positive way. There will also be a live Q & A session at the end. (A link to the recorded webinar will be provided after the live event.)
Overliked by Rob Singleton is a tome for such a time as this. Even though I work on television, I also make a living through social media. Coincidently, right before I started reading the pre-release copy, I had checked my "Likes'" and numbers on social media! How was I doing? Were my numbers growing? Declining? Did a few drop off?
It's so easy to get our self-esteem and self-worth tied to those likes and numbers.
Through Pastor Rob's book, we learn how frivolous and fake it can all be and ultimately, how it can lead to a miserable and unfulfilled life if left unchecked. The tools, scriptures, and "change of heart" takeaways that Pastor Rob provides at the end of each chapter help considerably shift the focus from there…to in here. He gently, but with statistics and examples, gives us a guide us to live a more authentic life.
In the book, Pastor Rob says, "Honesty is what sets us up for authentic relationships," and isn't that what we really all want?
As a woman over 40 in Hollywood, the expectations have never been higher. Overliked sites that, in one 12-month period, YouTube logged 169 billion views just for beauty-related content. Beauty is good… perfection is lethal. And don't I know it? I am on high-definition TV with glaring set lights, standing next to 20- to 30-year old young women daily; it's a test to stay solid and secure in your own skin.
I was posting perfectly lit and curated pictures of my "Beautiful" (heavily filtered) life; people followed and viewed but scrolled right along. However, when I let down the curtain, turned off the filter, and decided to share my real-life sorrows and struggles with cancer, the comments, words, notes, and numbers flooded. People want to see my honesty and weaknesses because they can relate.
Overliked shows us that when we pretend to be perfect, the only person we are hurting is ourselves.
Pastor Rob's easy and relatable storytelling draws the reader in. We find that our weaknesses become our strengths to help us touch, encourage, and heal others, not just impress them.
Thank you for this very needed and essential book that helps us realize that being real is the only way to have a true connection with our Lord and our friends and family.
In Overliked, through story references of David, we learn the Lord encourages us all to ignore appearance and stature. "For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:7)
This book is an important message for developing authenticity in our lives, which is far more critical than adding strangers, getting fake followers, and creating a heavily-filtered life experience. I promise you will really "LIKE" it.
