Frequently Asked Questions

How are eagles renewed?

Eagles ride thermals — columns of rising warm air — to soar without exhausting their own energy. Spiritually, 'waiting on the LORD' is like riding God's thermals. You stop relying on your own strength and let His power lift you. The secret is in the waiting, not the working.

Does God literally renew our youth?

Psalm 103:5 speaks of spiritual and emotional renewal. While physical aging continues, the 'inward man' is renewed daily (2 Corinthians 4:16). God restores spiritual vitality, refreshes emotional energy, and renews purpose — regardless of age or physical condition.
