#105. PATIENCE IS UNDERRATED
Episode 105 Today we are going to talk about a quality that if you can master it, you will be so much more successful in all areas of your life. It’s opposite of what our culture teaches you – no surprise – it seems like everything that culture tells you is complete opposite of what you should do! Seriously!!! God wants us to have patience. And when we have patience we can play the long game which is always better than playing for the short term! “Patience leads to abundant understanding, but impatience leads to stupid...

Episode 104 Life is hard, it’s difficult, it’s frustrating, its full of hurts, disappointments, and heartbreaks. But life is also full of happiness, joy, peace, love, excitement, and purpose.

#103. DEALING WITH THE HATERS
Episode 103 I’ve heard really successful entrepreneurs that are also social media celebrities if you will say that the NUMBER ONE question they get asked is – How do you deal with the haters? And these questions are coming from people who are trying to do greater things in life, achieve more, take more risks, expose themselves to more “haters” by trying new things or by setting big goals. And as Christians, we know we will face Haters but Jesus did and he was PERFECT! Ecc 7:21 Do...

Episode 101 Luke 16:10 10 “If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won’t be honest with greater responsibilities. (NLT) The older I get and the more life experiences I obtain, the more this passage hits me!

This podcast we look at why and the purpose of the thorns. 2 Cor 12:7 7 I will say this: because these experiences I had were so tremendous, God was afraid I might be puffed up by them; so I was given a physical condition which has been a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to hurt and bother me and prick my pride.

Episode 94 A saying I used to hear a lot growing up is “Thorn in my side” or “Pain in my side” If you have never heard it or not sure what it means it’s just a saying to refer to something or someone who is annoying, frustrating, trouble, painful, etc. I think most people use it to refer to someone – Such and such person is a “thorn in my side” or “pain in my side!” But sometimes it stuff – maybe it’s literally a physical condition that you live with that is constantly bothering you...
