In this episode I talk about what my first year at Moody Bible Institute was like, some of the highs and lows of the transition, and some important lessons I learned while I was there. I emphasize the need to seek God throughout our calling, to have God as our number one desire as Christians, and to prioritize God over other things. I am very excited about this episode as God was really the one that brought it together and allowed me to have the time to complete it, and can't wait for you guys to listen! I hope this can encourage you no matter where you are or what you are going through, God Bless!
In this episode I finally got some time to not only record but also get a guest, Cal Rinck!! Unfortunately, school is starting back up this fall and not a lot of people are always looking forward to it. The two of us dive a bit into the topic of what it's like being a Christian in high school and what we can do to be a light to others.0:28 - Cal shares a bit about himself1:15 - Cal's podcast (@dadhatpod on Insta)2:02 - Favorite things about this summer4:02 - Things we've learned this summer6:15 - Getting into the topic of high school6:38 - Easy/Hard things about being a Christian in high school9:20 - What we want to accomplish with our podcasts10:53 - Peach Tea Sponsor11:28 - Ways to stand out as Christians in high school14:52 - Being more open about our faith16:24 - Advice for those going back to school this year17:57 - People will always remember how you made them feel19:56 - More advice (you're gonna need it)20:55 - We can't do this alone21:30 - Don't wait until you're older or wish you were younger, NOW is the time22:45 - Keep asking God for strength over temptations/difficulties23:10 - Headphones23:20 - Airless tire24:21 - Wrapping up24:48 - PrayerCal's Insta - @calrinck74Luke's Insta - @luke.butler_Podcast Insta - @talkin_god_withlb_podcast
In this episode I give some thoughts on how we should try to view and think about material things and money as Christians. I even dove into some Scripture and looked at what it had to say about it. As always, I hope this made sense and wasn't all over the place. Please don't hesitate to ask me questions or give me feedback on these episodes, I'd love to be able to talk to you about this and how to make it better!!
