Reflecting on what a rut looks like in your life. Are you in one? We challenge you to get out. God Bless xx

It's natural to encourage a friend at the Olympics of how good they have persevered, but what about all the other days? What about the last 10 years day after day training? What about the other people? Are you there cheering them on?   Depression can lead to a character capable of life or death, we need to encourage each other to keep going, to keep taking one step after the next.  Encourage during the perseverance, not after the fact when they finally climbed the mountain.  Yes, we know they are capable of getting there, but maybe they don't. Cheer them on, encourage and understand that Christ can carry this burden, you just need to show up.   God bless xx

More and more homes are becoming multigenerational. Young adults are moving back in with their parents (known as Boomerangs) and adults are moving in with their aging parents. The main reason for this living arrangement is financial. We discuss the findings from a recent study about this and talk about our real-life experiences and strategies with multigenerational living.

Elijah seemed to have everything going for him... until the Queen gave a death sentence. He ran away in fear. He wished his life away. He didn't have the will to keep fighting anymore. Perhaps, not this extreme, but in some way or another I feel we can all relate having high highs, soon followed by low lows. In these moments in time do we turn to Fear or Faith?

We are Humans, sometimes we get into a rut. When we lose the will to do anything that might be important to us, we need to get back up and take on life 1% at a time. Celebrate small victories.  "If you count the pennies, the dollars will take care of themselves." If you read the pages, the wisdom mindset will come. We are overwhelmed in todays society with data and knowledge that is constantly changing, yet God never changes. God knows what we need, what advice to give, etc. We need to open our bibles though to let him in. In this episode we talk about statistics of the average christian and what drives a transformation, a true change in heart. This is what God desires of us, not to check boxes, and stop there at the pride.

Large Churches, Small Churches, Meeting at a Building, Meeting in Homes... Should we be asking where he wants us to worship or does he want us to understand HOW and WHY? Let's join as disciples in meeting together and having Fellowship together with the Bread and Wine, with all HUMILITY, Remembering our Saviour.

The Bible is a Light for our Feet. It would be nice to have a light to see where we are going but Faith doesn't work this way. So, let's trust in him with all our heart, mind, and soul.  He's got this, way better than we ever could by the way. God Bless. xx
