Abide In Me Sam Welsby The A.I.M of this podcast is to help people form an intimate relationship with God and to answer the big life questions:- What was our origin?- Where can we find meaning and purpose?- How do we discern between good and evil, fact and fiction? - What is our ultimate destination? Many today are seeking these answers but not finding them. This is often because they are looking in the wrong places. All the guidance, wisdom, provision, love, forgiveness, hope and peace we seek can be found when we abide in our Creator. Before we can abide in Him, we need to know Him and also what He expects from us. "Abide in Me" was the message Jesus gave to His disciples before He left them. He knew that they would need to be close to Him, by abiding in His Word, if they were to be transformed and in turn transform the world. (John 15)I hope these podcasts open you up to learning about who Jesus was, what he taught and why we should abide in him.

Do you have creative dreams but never seem to find the time? Do you feel like you’re giving too much energy to the wrong things or people and never have time for YOU? If so, you’re in the right place. Welcome to The Flow Habit podcast.Hi I’m Laurie Smith. Five years ago, that was me. I felt like I had lost my connection with my best, Truest Self. To feel like I had some sort of control in a world that felt like it was out of control, I challenged myself to do something everyday that I absolutely loved to do AND that had a high chance of getting me in flow (you know, that feeling when you’re so into what you’re doing that you lose track of time). I called it my 28-Day Flow Challenge. Since that time, I’ve led hundreds of highly creative people around the world--like YOU!-- in this simple process. I’ve been absolutely amazed by the results. Here’s the thing--you are already a Flow Expert. You already know what it will take to chang What the hell am I doing in my 20s? Ellen Sea What am I supposed to be doing in my 20s? Isn't it the time to try out all the experiences I can while I'm in my youth? What if I'm broke? Should I be putting all my energy into a successful career? Should I be dating seriously at this age? Our 20s is probably the most confusing, yet exciting but delusional time that a person will go through in their lives. In each episode, Ellen goes into all the experiences she's been through as a 24 year old, in hopes that someone else will relate to her experiences and feel less alone about what they're going through.
