When your brain feels overloaded. When stress disrupts clarity. When even simple tasks feel impossible. And how recognizing those moments is not weakness but a signal that something must change.This episode is a reminder that protecting your peace is not selfish. Boundaries are not rejection. And rest is not laziness. It is stewardship.If you have ever felt stretched thin, overwhelmed, or unsure how to recalibrate without disappointing others, this conversation will meet you right where you are.

Summa Theologica, Pars Prima by Saint Thomas Aquinas Loyal Books More than nine hundred years after it was first written, this unfinished work of a scholar saint still has the power to move our minds and hearts and set us thinking on the really important questions of life.Summa Theologica or simply the Summa as it is known, was written some time between 1265-74. It is a work that has had a profound and enduring influence on Western thought and literature. Designed to provide answers to Catholic theologians about the teachings of the Church, Thomas Aquinas' book instead goes far beyond its stated purpose.The most famous tenet that the book contains is the Five Ways or Five Arguments for the Existence of God. This in spite of the fact that this tenet is contained in a mere five pages out of the total three thousand five hundred plus pages of the Summa!

Brother Moore says, "True Christianity is not the formal, powerless thing that so many have come to know. Real fellowship with the living Christ, the Anointed One, results in the destruction of every bondage, the removal of every burden, and the fulfillment of every good desire. There is no life so exciting as the victorious life that is true Christianity."You will find the teaching ministry of Harvest Church Harvest Church Pastors We are a strong, faithful church for evangelizing the world.
