Did you know that God not only longs to reveal His purpose for your life, but even more importantly, He longs to reveal His NATURE to you! That He is a good Father who loves you and know best what you need in any given moment. This week, Frank shares from a recent message entitled "Hidden Treasure" on the way in which God revealed Himself to the Persian King, Cyrus, in Isaiah 45. It's a fascinating story worth revisiting and we hope you'll be encouraged and challenged by who the Lord wants to be in your life!

We are a people who love new things, aren't we? Let's be honest, could you use that new iPhone 14 Pro? I could! And yet, while we crave the new, we ignore all that we have been given already. The same applies to our walk with the Lord. So often we want fresh revelation and new words from God. "What are you saying God, what are you doing?" And while there's nothing wrong with asking these questions, have we bothered to remember all that He has done and spoken in our lives already? We have to remember our history with God. This week, Frank talks about the importance of focusing on that history and bringing to the surface everything the Lord has already deposited in your heart.

Which is more important in recovery? Real freedom or simple sobriety. This is the question we explore this week on the podcast. Real freedom has so much more to do with the journey than the destination. And as your recovery becomes as natural as breathing, you will begin to experience deeper places of sobriety that is long-lasting and consistent.

Recently, I began thinking about one of the most fundamental building blocks of addiction recovery: Honesty. The willingness to drop the walls, drop the facade, and allow others to see inside of your life. A life of honesty refuses to hide, cover up, or deny the truth. It seeks only to be completely transparent, allowing light to shine upon anything unseen.

Throughout our lives, we are trained to listen to a vast multitude of voices. Voices that have a powerful influence upon us. These voices can come from parents, siblings, family members, friends, and co-workers. Depending on the household in which we were raised, those voices determine in many ways the path we find ourselves on in our adolescent years all the way through becoming an adult. Some are incredibly healthy and life-giving while others can be destructive. In this episode, I want to switch gears just a little bit and talk about a different voice. One you may not be totally familiar with: The voice of your emotions. Yes, believe it or not, your emotions have a voice and the real question is this: Are you listening?

Just Pray Harder Three words that have been spoken by a multitude of well-meaning Christians throughout the years. Words that have traditionally been a response to another Christian’s unhealthy behavior or lifestyle. It may have been directed towards a particular kind of sin or behavior. And in most cases, it was spoken with completely pure intentions. Yet for many these words were the complete opposite message they needed to hear. In this episode, Frank shares the fallacy AND the significance behind this statement. Also, is recovery all on us? Or is it God's responsibility to change us? We explore these questions and more.

If I were to ask you to make a wish list of your top five destinations you’d love to travel to in the entire world,  what would they be? Or what about a bucket list of ten or twenty things you’d like to do in your lifetime? No doubt many of you have already had those dreams.  Here’s a question: What do you want from your recovery in 2021? If I were to ask you to envision what kind of person you’d like to be on December 31, 2021, what kind of person would that be?  I really believe every year around this time we should be looking in two directions: backwards at the previous year we just walked through and forwards towards the new year. How have we grown? What lessons have we learned? Perhaps even a couple harder questions: Where have we struggled? Where have we declined in our progress? We hope you you enjoy the second part of this series from Pure Gold! For more information on this podcast & other great resources, visit pflhome.com.
