Setting Goals is important, but discipline is where real change happens. When you look back over your life, or even the last year, it can be encouraging to see areas that you have grown in. It can also be discouraging to look back and see stagnance in an area. There are so many things in life that we have no control over, but by practicing discipline, we take back control (self control) over our hearts, minds, and bodies in the areas that we can.

We live in a society that is so confused about the balance of work, rest, and play. On one side of the spectrum, we see a set standard that puts so much pressure on the "hustle" mindset, which teaches us that we should work ourselves to the point of exhaustion in order to make a living and a valuable, established life. On the other end of the spectrum, we see a society that abuses the "self-care" mindset, and teaches us to take care of ourselves above anything else, which unfortunately can easily take on the form of laziness and selfishness. As we navigate how to balance work, rest, and play in a society that is so confused about those three things, it's important that we look to the Bible to define what that balance should look like. Because the truth is, the Bible does give us a clear rhythm for this balance, and there is a place for both rest and play in our lives. Join us on this episode of the Do It On Purpose podcast as we discuss what it means to Rest and Play on Purpose!

With the recent release of our new Praise + Prayer Collection, we wanted to take some time in this episode to talk about why we believe so strongly in the power of prayer.

Join us in this episode as we have a conversation about why it's so important to pray on purpose.

We are constantly sending messages when we’re in the presence of others, whether we realize it or not. A lot of the time, we send messages that we don’t even mean to, simply because we’re unaware or aren’t being mindful of the messages that we send. Things like tone of voice, eye movements, body language, and facial expressions make all of the difference when it comes to what others are really getting from the messages that you're sending. Join us on today's episode of the Do It On Purpose podcast as we discuss what it means to send effective messages, and the importance of putting in effort when it comes to building and maintaining relationships. So, let's get the conversation started. It's time to communicate on purpose!
