Beyond Sunday

This week I continue to discuss the importance that we play in impacting future generations in our families. It is important to understand that God operates on a different time scale and uses situations to change trajectories of not just us, but our family long after we are gone.

We use the example of Joseph and how God used his time in captivity to mold him into the person he needed to be to be effective for his future role that ultimately would impact the entire nation of Israel. We have the same type of opportuntiy now. But are we giving God the reason to trust us and use us?

Join me this week as we talk out this topic on Beyond Sunday!

This week I discuss the impact that my Grandfather had on me at a young age in teaching the importance of having a relationship with Jesus. The significance of this cannot be overstated because we have examples from the Bible that teach us that God works in a different timing and works through generations.

Some of us have been fortunate to have these experiences, but many of us have not and we have had to experience Jesus on our own without an example to learn from. But Jesus wants to work through you now to impact many of your future generations that will come after you.

Tune in to the show this week to see just how important your walk with Jesus will impact many generations after you long after you depart this world.

Most of us know that Judas was the person that betrayed Jesus. We often make comments and comparisons about someone else's character as it relates to Judas' character we read about in the Bible, because we inherently know that it is such a character flaw to betray those close to us.

But it may surprise a lot of us to realize that we often display a lot of characteristics similar to Judas when it comes to how we interact with Jesus. What is more amazing is that Jesus still loved Judas and He loves us too despite our flaws.

Join me this week as I discuss this topic while we are in Holy Week and prepare to celebrate Easter.

In this episode I discuss the oldest temptation that the enemy has thrown at humans since the beginning of time. That is the temptation to focus on what we lack.

We often focus a lot of our attention on all of the things that we don't have, all while there is an abundance of blessings and resources all around us that we are taking for granted.

By refocusing our relationship with Jesus and allowing Him to bring those blessings back into the correct focus, we will be able to live freer and more peaceful lives. We can get back to prioritizing things correctly, get relationships back on track, and ready to accept newer blessings that God has in store for us.

I hope that you enjoy the show!

In this week's episode we I discuss the idea of chasing failure. Sounds weird right? But I learned from one prominent leader that there is so much to be gained through learning from failures that make us so much better in everything we do.

In Joshua 1:9 we read the popular verse to be strong and courageous...but that advice is also located in many different passages throughout the bible. Which means that this is a very important concept to God. So whatever you are facing go after it with strength and courage even if that means you may fail; because there will be important lessons along the way that will make you and everyone else around you better for it!

Most of us fit into 2 categories, we are either seeking to be blessed or we are seeking to be a blessing to others. However, most of the time the ones that are seeking to be a blessings to others are the ones that feel the most blessed.

This week I discuss the importance of mentorship and the power that comes from giving of our time to pour into others and the difference that it can create in the environment that surrounds us and unlocks so many new avenues. The same as it did for those people in the bible that understood the importance of strong, mentoring relationships.

In this episode we continue the discussion of relationships. We cover a few topics to include:

1. Prior to entering into a marriage to ensure that you and your partner are equally yoked. It is so important that your values are similar, and that you are happy and content with yourself as a person.

2. The importance of continuing to pursue your spouse once you are married, just as you did when you dated. When you say your vows, you didn't cross the finish line...you just crossed the starting line of the race!

3. The importance of intimacy in a MARRIAGE. For those seeking intimacy outside of the marriage, we also discuss why this is so damaging and the reason why God has such a problem with the improper use of sex. But when used correctly it is a gift from God!

** (I do give a forewarning prior to going into the topic of sex and intimacy if you need to ensure no younger children are around).

I hope that you enjoy the show!

Join me this week as my beautiful bride has finally been able to join me on the show. Continuing in our relationship series, we talk about marriage. It can and will be difficult no matter how long you have been married. We share our experiences and the challenges we have faced and what has helped us get to where we are now. As always we discuss the importance of having God at the center of our relationship and the role our faith has on how we conduct ourselves in marriage.

We are talking about relationships! We are all in them or have been in them and are looking for that special someone to build a family with. However, many of us get it so wrong...but why?

It is because we have not used our time when single wisely. This time is so important because this is our time to develop our first relationship with God. Because God our creator teaches us how we are to be correctly valued. Only then can we enter a relationship healthily and put correct boundaries in place with our partner.

However, if you are already in a relationship or are married and have realized that you have gotten this wrong, you are not the only one...many others have as well. We discuss what to do now.

On this episode we discuss a couple of topics. First we discuss the importance of getting our relationship with Jesus in a correct context. It is what drives the direction of ALL of our other relationships!

I also dive into what to look for in a church. You can hear what our family has valued and look for as we have been looking for a new home church in our new home. So if you are looking for a church, thinking about it, or wondering if you need to find a church...this will be important to listen to.
