I grew up as a person who relished the ability to fight and war with others. I thought it was something to admire and cherish to the point I became a highly skilled fighter trained in various martial arts. Not saying anything is wrong with studying the martial arts, but my reasons for doing it were not honorable. As I have matured and have followed Christ my mind has been renewed to understand the fight I am now called to fight is the fight of faith. What I still find difficult is remaining committed more to fighting in faith as opposed to fighting in my flesh. It remains a challenge sometimes. I find it even more difficult when I am engaged in a war in all three realities - spiritual, soul, physical. For this episode, I reflect back on a challenging and painful time in my past to bring context to Psalms 27:4 which is the key scripture for this episode. Hope it blesses you.

God desires to be the object of our affection but, as fallible vessels, we often mistakenly set our affection on everything and everyone but God. Guess what? He wasn't caught off guard by this which is why He said He would give us the desires or affections, of our heart. But what happens when our God-given affections become twisted, distorted, or misprioritized? Let's talk about it.

Living in the south one weather anomalies which we face are tornadoes. When we see the tornado watch or warning alerts we already have our action plan in place on where we shelter if it heads our way. Makes sense right? Common sense right? Guess what - God has also provided the same means of preparation for those who follow Him. Want to know what it is? We discuss it in this final episode for this series - Enduring Seasons - Shelter In Place. Prepare for a life-changing discussion.

In our previous episode we focused on the end goal of what's at the end of our hard season(s). The difficulty is our mindset when we are experiencing hardships. We typically adopt a victim mentality when we are in hardships but when we make the conscious decision to seek God's perspective and perception while in our hard season(s) it allows us to endure those seasons like a good soldier. So what does God say our mindset or thought life should be? Glad you asked, we discuss it in this episode.

Pain and suffering is not considered a good or positive experience for most of us. If we are being honest we find it hard to believe anyone enjoys experiencing pain or suffering in life. Frankly, it stinks! But let's take "another look" at pain and suffering. Could there be something God is up to when He allows us to experience pain and/or suffering? And what mindset does He expects us to have while we go through the hard places of life? We will discuss all of these topics and questions in this multiple episodic series.

In Luke 15 we read the parable of the lost sheep and we correlate it with the unsaved or those who walked away from the faith. While this perception is not incorrect, have we taken a full look at us also being lost sheep in our faith walk? Have you ever gotten distracted or wandered off from your faith in Jesus? Let discuss this and take another look at this scripture and learn the Mission of the Shepherd, the Heart of the Shepherd, and the Reaction of the Shepherd to the lost. You ready to go fishing? Get your hat and coat and come one...

We are trained and led to believe things such as supernatural signs and human wisdom are ideal to have in life. Human wisdom has its place in life but what happens when it holds a superior position in how we value godly things? The Apostle Paul tackles this topic in 1 Corinthians 1 as we see how human wisdom and the desire for supernatural signs (i.e. physical evidence of spiritual intervention) can diminish the power of what God used to reconcile us to Him. You ready for this Word? You ready to be changed and change from the inside to the outside? Let's go fishing...

I use to have a lot of difficulty reconciling why good and evil had to exist at the same time. Why do good and bad things happen to people or to me? As I grow in the Lord, I am coming to understand the why to all of these questions I pondered most of my life. Let's talk about it...
