This week we wrap up our first quarter of the year talking about that reward all Christians are seeking. We take a deeper look into that hope of eternal life, heaven and the new Jerusalem. We also discuss keeping our eyes on that prize. More importantly, we summarize the entire quarter and share a few more of our stories along the way. This episode concludes the Managing for The Master series. Next quarter we start a new topic focusing on the Three Cosmic Messages.

This week on the podcast we will discuss how we manage through the tough times in our Christian walk. One of the main themes this quarter has been making sure that we learn to put God first. We get a first hand example of what this is like with the story of Jehoshaphat. We also discuss why we should trust God and not only in our own resources by looking at a situation that David faced in his later years of rulership. Finally, we talk about how we should simplify our lives today and what our main priority should be moving forward.

This week on the podcast we discuss what it means to give back to God as we enter the non-working days of our lives. As we will see in this lesson, there is so much work to be done today that can have implications on the future. We talk about the parable of the rich fool, the life of David in his last years as well as understanding that we cannot take our gathered possessions with us when we die. It is important that we leave behind a spiritual legacy but this requires us to make sure we are doing the work while we are still alive.

This week Elder Nick discusses the importance of understanding what covetousness is and how to take the right steps to overcome this silent problem in our lives. Where did covetousness originate from? He also covers three separate stories in the Bible where people who had a connection with God, dealt with coveting and what their fate was. Not all is bad news though as God always provides a way out in 3 simple steps.

This week on the podcast, we discuss the main aspects of success and compare what it means in everyday life to how we should view it biblically. We touch on the blessings of work, the main earning years as well as working with integrity. Our lives are segmented into three main parts; making good financial decisions when we are young can lead us to be ready to start a family and teaching our kids the ways of the Lord. During this stage we strive to make good decisions that will lead us to have peaceful retirement years. Success is not always defined by how much money you have in the bank.

This week on the podcast we discuss how as Christians we are to help take care of those who are widowed, fatherless, depressed and poor. We take a look at how Jesus did things when He was on this earth and how He took the known customs and flipped them upside down. We also explore the stories of the rich young ruler, Zacchaeus and Job to see how they handled their riches with the poor all around them.

In this episode, Elder Alex Marquez shares his personal story on how a major health situation altered his life and led him down a path of depression, even while being a follower of God. We discuss ways that helped him personally overcome those feelings and thoughts and what steps he took to get back to the person he used to be. We also discuss how each individual church member as well as church leaders can become more aware of the problems we all face and how we can be more supportive to each other to help overcome the obstacles of life. This episode has a major focus on our mental health.

This week Elder Nick, Elder Mario and Elder AJ discuss the differences between laying up your treasures on this earth and laying up your treasure in heaven, and its not always just about money. We look into the lives of Noah, Abraham, Jacob and Moses. We also look at the life of Lot which was slightly different than the rest. We will see how these patriarchs choose to live their lives and how they obeyed God even when they didn't have all of the answers.

This week we have a discussion on dealing with debt and what the Bible says about debts, debtors and what expectations God has for us as Christians. We will look at the 3 biggest reasons why people get into debt as well as 3 ways that will help us begin to get out of debt. All of this comes with a premise of course and if you listened to last weeks episode, I think you know what that might be.

This week we took a look into what it means to give an offering and why we should give it. We also discuss how our motivation behind the giving is just as important as giving the offering itself.
