Love: What it ISN’T

A couple of days ago I talked to you about love and how it takes action—real love does! Love even fuels endurance: “We always thank God for all of you and continually mention you in our prayers. We remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by […]

Love: The Greatest of all Time

It was exciting to start our Love Does series on Sunday. You might use the word love in reference to anything from a slice of pizza to another person! There are so many different kinds of love, and it’s a word people take for granted. The Bible even distinguishes love from other virtues: “And now these […]

Brokenness to Wholeness

When you look at the life of Jacob, you see that brokenness precedes breakthrough. Some people stop at broken, unable to go on or find hope in the future. Keep Psalm 51:17 on your heart! “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.” God […]

When Life Doesn’t Go Your Way

When life doesn’t go your way, do you try to force things, or do you turn to God? While Jacob is recognized as a giant of the faith, he is yet another person who started off on the wrong path. He went so far as to convince his brother Esau to hand over his birth […]

Abraham: The Test of Faith

I left off yesterday by reminding you that God always does the right thing, even if it seems absurd! God’s character doesn’t change or break down. Some people get nervous about how they look when following God. They’re worried they’ll look absurd! It’s a good thing that God always does the right thing, even if […]

Abraham: Journey Toward Trust

Trapped Again

Earlier this week, I explored some of the highlights from the sermon my son Nathan shared this past Sunday! Today, I want to continue looking at ways the enemy traps people and how to avoid these traps! Much of this message focused on anger gone awry! Even though it was mentioned earlier this week that […]

We’re in week three of our Game of Thrones series here at The Summit.

Don’t Be Ruled by a Fallen World

Life will always have its ups and downs, joys and sorrows. Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, “There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens…” At some point in your life, you’ve probably wished the world were perfect. You imagine what it’d be like if you didn’t have to feel pain […]

What it Means to Be Wise

“Then I decided to think about what it means to be wise or to be foolish or to do crazy things” (Ecclesiastes 2:12). This is another part of the journey to keeping Christ on the throne of your heart. The world will tell you that sin is fun and that you should enjoy it. Well, […]

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.
