Well today’s guest, Mary Wiley, explains that God alone is our highest good, and anything we consider to be good in this world is simply an outflow of Him. So, living your highest good can only come from spending time in the presence of God.

Mary shares how an intimate, ongoing relationship with God can shape how you see and experience your highest good, even when things aren’t so good. Plus, she’ll give you three very practical ways to live your highest good every single day.

We often try to do a lot for God, and we often try to do it all … without Him. Wouldn’t you love to let go of spiritual performance and reject the cultural expectation to live under pressure? Oh, my friend, me too! 

So today, Bible teacher Megan Marshman explores what it means to set aside our addiction to trying to figure everything out and relish a slower, compelling, powerful, and relaxed life with God. Instead of striving and trying to be like Him without Him, she’ll help you relax, release your self-reliance, and rest in your Heavenly Father who has already done it all.

Differences of opinion have always been part of life. It’s not new to agree and disagree about politics, social issues, religion, current events, and even sports. But when we did disagree, it didn’t used to cause a break-up between family and friends.

Nowadays, we live in an argument culture that has led to nearly one-third of people reporting they have stopped talking to a friend or family member due to a disagreement. Plus, nearly two-thirds of people say they stay quiet about their beliefs because they’re afraid of offending others or getting beat up online.

Well today’s guest, Sean McDowell, wants to help you end this stalemate. Christians are called to be God’s ambassadors, which means we need to engage in a sincere and loving way with those around us—especially those with different perspectives.

So, let’s revive the art of meaningful conversations and cancel this cancel culture!
