TRUST & HUSTLE p1

We are called to create. That takes work. The Bible clearly teaches us to work hard - to hustle. At the same time, we have to demonstrate our trust in God. Jesus said, "apart from me you can do nothing." How do we balance that tension?

Living Life in Tune Part 2: FITNESS

This is part two of a six-part series titled Living Life in Tune. Much like the strings on a guitar, we live life under tension. If we're  playing hard, we will go out of tune. This episode is about keeping our fitness in tune. Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit. If we take care of our bodies we enjoy many benefits. In the episode, I'll talk about 7 Keys and 7 benefits to keeping our fitness in tune. (DISCLAIMER: I am not a doctor, a fitness expert or any thing of the sort - just a guy who has to fight hard to stay in tune physically).

Bold as a Lion

Proverbs 28:1 says, "The wicked flee when no one pursues them but the righteous are bold as a lion." Think about that? Lions don't struggle with insecurity, fear or an identity crisis. Lions also spend their time with other lions. In the episode we talk about how to stay inspired by choosing the right pride.

Plugging in to Potential

"Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life." Proverbs 13:12 Sometimes hope gets "put off" because it's misaligned. Our goal in life should be to grow into our potential and what we hope for (or desire) is key to whether that happens of not. How can we find the right place to put our hope? How can we use that hope to maximize our potential?

PIVOT DON'T PANIC

Mark Cuban (Dallas Mavericks, Shark Tank host, entrepreneur) recently talked about how great businesses will be born out this time of adversity. Now more than ever we need to be taking steps of faith toward our hopes & dreams. We want those steps to be blessed by God don't we? In this podcast I talk about making the kind of steps mentioned in Psalm 37:23-24: The steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he delights in his way; though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the Lord upholds his hand. I totally ripped that title off from Jon Acuff - check him out www.acuff.me.

BIG HEART

Jesus said, "I have compassion on the crowd...." Matthew 15:32 What a great time to let your light shine. We all have something to offer to Christ for the sake of others. It's in time like these that the size of our faith and the size of our heart is truly revealed.
