As we wrap up 2020 we discuss lessons learned, how to bear fruit in hardship, where to find your peace, and moving forward in strength and hope. 

Remember, whatever you fear ... fears God! He is in control and He is for you.

This episode is dedicated to and in memory of Linda Buckley Sanchez. We will always miss and love you. 

How do we respond in the presence of our enemies? How do we respond to trial, suffering, and hardship? Are we quick to jump to our feet and pump our fist? Or, is there a way we can seek the wisdom and direction of God during trials and difficult seasons? 

If you have the ear to hear, please lean in close as we petition God for wisdom and discernment on how to weather life's storms in such a way that is pleasing to God. 

With all of this talk about who is an essential worker, we dive into the biblical definition of an essential worker! Have you ever thought about yourself as an essential worker in the eyes of God? Do you wonder how you fit into God's plan? We take a look at the work of Nehemiah and how God worked through him to finish an essential work and we draw inspiration to finish the good work God has began in all of us. 

Have you ever been just cruising along in life and suddenly, there is a detour? Along our journey of life, detours are bound to present themselves. Sometimes they seemingly come out of nowhere. But one thing is certain, every detour presents an opportunity for either growth or defeat. 

In this bonus episode, Ralph Garcia talks about the detours in the life of the Apostle Paul and how we can draw some inspiration from Paul's response to the detours his life.

In episode #4 we talk about spiritual, physical and mental endurance and draw some inspiration from U.S. Army Vietnam Veteran and double amputee, Bob Wieland and his amazing journey in faith, healing, and perseverance!
