Rambling Through Everyday Life Podcast

#141 Rambling with Dr. Dub Oliver


Listen Later

We are so excited to share this conversation with y'all!  Dr. Dub is back and full of the wisdom and action steps we needed.  We talk about the importance of living humbly regardless of your title or position and how to be more present with the people you encounter each day. Dr. Dub shares practical ways to focus our minds on scripture plus the daily & weekly disciplines that will change your life.  We also asked for his book recommendations which inadvertently led us to our very own "book colloquium" (stay tuned!) and of course, we talk about our beloved college students and all the ways they bring us hope for the future.  Y'all will love this conversation and will learn so much from Dr. Dub. We sure did!

 

People think we have less agency than we actually do.   We can take control of when we respond on social media.

Prayer: Lord help me to love well the people you have given me to love 

Let's create the space we really want for people. 

Daily reminder: scripture before anything else and scripture above everything else. 

Don't apologize for patterns in your own life that bring health and life and flourishing. 

For sabbath to work, we have to be intentional about it. 

Nobody likes discipline in the moment but then you see the fruit it bears and it's always worth it.
