Faith Applied

Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'" Matthew 4:4 NIV

This 3rd episode of the 12 episode series edifies mind and soul.

The goal of this activity is to start a daily discipline, or increase the time that we spend soaking in God's Word. We're going to employ the discipline of memorizing and meditating on scripture during the day.

Note: The days of the program build upon each other, so I encourage you follow the sequence.

For some the holidays evoke images of joyful, happy times celebrating the beauty of the season.

Parties and celebrations. Gatherings of family and friends.

Lots of cooking. Lots more eating.

Decorating and the giving and receiving of gifts because we're thankful for God's gift to humanity - Jesus.

For others, this joyous time of year is not so joyful. It is heavy with stress or sadness.

This episode contains encouragement and helps for those experiencing hurt during the holidays.

Most people spend most of their lives doing the same things day after day after day. While habits can help productivity, and routine can bring comfort and convenience, if we don't venture out and try new things, we can stagnate and miss some of the beauty, excitement, and growth that exists outside of our comfort zone.

Consider this: children develop at a fast pace partly because they regularly try things they have never done before. Every day we ask children to face a fear, to reach a new boundary, to try a new food, to try a new activity – to explore, learn and grow. We encourage children to try new things but rarely do the same.

What happens to that curiosity as we age? Why do we let ourselves get in the way from exploring and testing and trying and growing?

When was the last time you tried something new?

Whether it's as simple as a new genre of food or mode of exercise to something that's grander like pursuing that passion project or going after something that's on your bucket list.

"If we continue to do what we have always done, we will continue to get what we have always got." ~ Steven Hayes

If you want something different, you have to do something different.

Do something(s) new!

In this episode, you will:

• Identify something positive, progressive, or purposeful that you've wanted to try or change in your life.
• Learn 5 steps that can help you tackle and conquer that new challenge.

• My Brave Year of Firsts: Tries, Sighs, and High Fivesby Jamie Lee Curtis (on Amazon.com)

Do you bad talk about yourself to yourself?

ANTs (Automatic Negative Thoughts) are negative statements, defeating self-pronouncements that eat you up and tear you down.

Sometimes we don't notice them. Other times we overlook them. What's worse is that in at some level we tacitly believe them.

ANTs and negative self-talk, like the little insect cause damage.

They multiply, and piece by piece break down the favor and carry off the fruit that God has given to you.

As a man thinketh so is he.

ANTs, persistent destructive thoughts, they've got to go! There's no place for negative thinking and self-talk in your mind.

So how do we get rid of these ANTs? Listen in and learn how to banish negative self-talk.

US adults check their smartphones between 80 and 150 times per day. Cell phone separation anxiety is a real thing, and many would go periods without chocolate, talking, or intercourse before going one day without their phone.

How connected are you to your smartphone?

Smartphones are super helpful, significant parts of our lives, but like anything used inappropriately or in excess, this tool can become a trap.

Today we discuss faith applied to productivity and smartphone use. We'll explore four areas/applications where smartphone reliance/use is not so smart.

Mentioned in this episode:

• Running list of most helpful and often used smartphone apps – discussion thread in the Faith Applied Community. Not in the group? Click here to join {It's free!}.
• The 2017 film "A Question of Faith" explores social, moral, and spiritual issues including texting and driving, organ donation, forgiveness, and racial reconciliation with a connecting examination of our relationship with God when faced with tragedy. The movie is available on Netflix.
• Smartphone use while driving is not smart.

"Often when we get in the car we pray for traveling grace. How about adding to that prayer for driving wisdom." ~Nettye Johnson

If you smartphone drive, break that habit. Take the It Can Wait Pledge.

• The First5 app provides a healthier alternative to hopping on social media in the first moments of our day by bringing life and Truth to the First 5 minutes of every day. {Great Bible study, devotion, and spiritual discipline development tool!)
• Screen Time in iOS 12 helps curb phone addiction with tools to quantify how much time you spend on your iOS devices.
• Scripture reference Ephesians 5:15-16 KjV

Live long enough, and periods chocked full of challenges will come.

Times when we get close to our 'tipping point' and we turn to something…some action…or someone.

Stress begs for release and that call rarely goes unanswered.

An honest look at our habits, how we spend our time/money, and the things we take in (food, drink or other substances, people etc.) shows the means we take to get relief.

Some methods of relief bring help and healing.

Others bring harm. What kind do you choose and use?

This episode contains audio from a video recorded in the middle of a prolonged period of tremendous loss, and grief, and uncertainty, but it was also a tremendous period of connection and intimacy with God. I share encouragements about God's grace and goodness and three ways to release.
