We all either know someone who 'burnt out' or, maybe we were the one who 'burnt out'. But burnout often gets a lot of bad publicity, but burnout doesn't mean you failed- you were just running a different race to the rest of the pack.

I know, who does a podcast on this?!?!?! Me! But I'm going to talk about all kinds of dreams, not just the wet ones. What are some of the ways we can navigate our feelings and convictions with any type of dream that leaves us feeling 'some kind of way'?

When I watch people loose I feel sorry for them. I've never liked the competitive nature of sports because to be honest, I've lost WAY more than I've ever won. But as Christians, we should never have a "loser's mindset". Loosing- is not supposed to be part of our faith experience.

The experiences we have with people can stick with us for a lifetime. Someone I knew used to tell me about their daily experiences with a person they worked with. Over time, I began to respect a person I'd never met, just from the stories this person told me about their work colleague. Never under estimate the power of your experience in the context of the Gospel, to draw people to a person (or God) they've never met before!

Oh how those adolescent years can either build us to see our glimpses of our potential or shake us up and even MESS us up! Many people experienced some of the most difficult stages of identity formation during their high school years. For some us, we're still carrying the wounds we received long into our adulthood. Shannon shares with us how God used a simply interaction to transform his darkness into the place where he could become a Light bearer!

Our past, our opinions and our ignorance can cause us to distort facts and Biblical truth to suit our preference or to back-up our communities of preference. It's time for all of us to take all the Bible goodness we've discovered (or had shared with us) back home and let God transform our preferences so that our opinion, on all Biblical concepts, are based on God's leading; not crowd thinking or church culture.

Having to move will often reveal to you just how much stuff you have that you don't need and that you don't actually want to take to your next location. It seems as though we accumulate excess things without even trying. Emotion excess can accumulate just as unintentionally as physical things. But it's best that we "downsize" and "declutter" our soul- sooner rather than later. Life is too short to live it, transporting boxes of negative memories, trauma and pain.

My 4 week break was an answer to more than just one prayer- it was an answer to LIFE CHANGING prayers!!! I'm leaving!!! See ya, QLD and HEEEEELLO NNSW!!

Droughts and dry spells drain the life out of most things. Animals lack food, the trees loose their foliage and the grass becomes brown and it looses all its softness, but what happens when a Christian is going through a spiritual drought? We're told there's hope no matter how lifeless our spiritual life is and to "not give up", but how long do we have to wait before we finally get a 'spiritual downpour'? And is it too late for some?
