Ep 88 | Don't Panic

God is alive and he wants to communicate with you personally and intimately! Nothing and no one else have done more to transform my life and save my mind like God's word. And he will save yours, too. Join me for practical tips to get serious about spending time in God's word in 2023.

Recalibrate under God's truth in the breathing room with your Bible open, and ask God to show you what you can eliminate– what's not important. Eliminate the distractions, the urgent, and the unnecessary so that you can jealously guard your relationship with Jesus during this year and always.

This world has us thinking that faster is better, and that if we don't rush we will never be ready. Not so with God. If you're in a rush, you'll miss out on being ready for what He has for you!

If we're being honest, family gatherings have the potential to be "The best of times and the worst of times" (Charles Dickens) during the holidays. And, it all starts long before we ever get to the celebration, right? Days before, we begin remembering all the offenses and before long, we're carrying a big grudge that weighs more than the turkey! So, what are we, as Jesus followers, supposed to do? How are we supposed to walk this out? Well, I've got a few practical, biblical tips for you in today's episode. Tune in!

Have you ever shared your faith in Jesus with another person? Don't be embarrassed if you haven't–about 95% of professing evangelical Christians have never shared their faith with another person. Why is that? As Christians, we know it's important that we use what God has given us (our voices, our resources, our spheres of influence) to have an impact for Christ. Do you know what you believe and why you believe it? Then, share your faith! Not sure how?

Who's talking to you? Who are you listening to? What are they influencing you to think about, to do or to become? Words are powerful. Throughout history, people with the ability to communicate have written things and spoken things that all of us have been influenced by. Words can convince us and convict us, change the way we think…and therefore change our attitudes and our behavior. And as a result of all of those words filtering in us–they have the ability to change our life for better or for worse–depending on who or what we're listening to. So, who's in your head?

Have you ever felt like your head is cluttered and your soul is being suffocated by the enemy of "too much"? Before we know it, we can allow the accumulation and the abundance of many things to pull our focus and deprive us of attention that could be better spent in better ways. What does God say about this? Tune in and find out!

If you don't know what you believe and why you believe it, then it's likely you're going to cave the moment you get pushback. In times like today, we are called to stand strong in our faith in the face of adversity. What we believe leads us in a particular direction in life. So, what do you believe?
