#525 Trust Issues: God, Talents and Me

The parable of the talents isn’t just about ability. It’s about trust. We’ve all been given gifts, resources, and opportunities. The question is: are we hiding them out of fear, or putting them to work in faith?
Listen in as we talk about how to use your talents faithfully as tools so they don’t end up as burdens or missed opportunities.

#524 Trust Issues: God, Time and Me

Life feels chaotic when your schedule is filled with chaos. Paul says, ‘Walk carefully, not as fools, but as wise men, making the most of the time’ It’s time to spend some time evicting time-thieves, like fear, procrastination, and endless scrolling. Listen in this week for ‘Trust Issues: God, Time and Me’ as we look at how to reclaim your time.

#523 Trust Issues: God, Money, and Me

Most of us aren’t chasing a fortune—we just want a little more than we have. But once we get it, we soon find we want a little more.
“A little more” is never enough when you believe it will bring satisfaction. It’s a cycle that leaves us anxious and craving peace, but we keep thinking ‘a little more’ and we’ll be satisfied.  
This week, we’re looking at what fuels the insatiable desire for more, why it never delivers, and how to break free from the loop. Because what we truly want isn’t more stuff, but freedom from the desire for more.

#514 Strong & Still - Rest, Reflection and Renewal for a Resilient Faith - Replacing Anxiety with Peace

Joyful resilience, prayerful rest, disciplined thinking, and obedient living are patterns we can cultivate in our lives that will help us achieve just that.

Is it your vision or your focus? Reality doesn’t change, but sometimes our perspective does. This week in Strong & Still: 7 Days of Rest, Reflection, and Renewal for a Resilient Faith, we’re considering how gratitude reframes our perspective.
 
Life doesn’t always change, but how we see it can. Listen and discover not only how joy, prayer, and thankfulness can reframe our perspective even in the most challenging times, but also how you can incorporate them into your own life.
