Families Matter to God

History's greatest miracle happened over the last three days...two millenniums ago.  All eternity held its breath as we watched our beloved Savior perform the most important critical part of our Heavenly Father's plan for us.  Without it, we could never return to live with God again.  We could never live as families again.

Everything hinged on Christ.  

A few years ago, I was attending a funeral at the very time that our Savior was on the cross...two millenniums ago. 

The speaker brought that to our attention and ever so eloquently described the events that transpired in the most pivotal three days of all eternity. 

Every year on Easter weekend, I listen to this funeral talk.  With permission from the family, I share it with you in the hopes that it will bless you as it has me.

Do your weaknesses sometimes overwhelm you?

You are not alone.

God gave us weaknesses to be a blessing to us.

When you are feeling inadequate and overwhelmed, they certainly don't feel like a blessing.

In this episode, we will talk about why He gives us weaknesses and how He will turn them into strengths.

Four years ago, I was trying to find a family to do a sub-for-Santa.

You would think that would be easy...but all of my inquiries turned up nothing.

I invited my ten and eleven year old children to help me find a family that was praying for help.

Little did I know that God was setting me up to have one of the sweetest experiences of my life.

Listen as I share how God led us to find a needle in a haystack...a needle that no one else knew about, but God did.  I was flat out amazed at the simple, pure faith of my children and their ability to hear His voice.

"...and a little child shall lead them.”  Isaiah 11:6

Have you asked God to teach you how He speaks to you? 

When I first started down the path of knowing God's voice, a friend of mine taught me a simple way to know if my thoughts were coming from God.

It is so simple...yet so effective.  You might not even believe it until you do it for awhile.  

Do you find yourself rehashing and reliving your past mistakes or the past wrongs that have been done unto you?

In this episode we talk about the power of forgiveness of ourselves and others. 

Do you feel a distance between you and God? Are you sometimes overwhelmed by your weakness and mistakes? 

God's plan is for His children to be happy...not just happy every now and then, but truly happy every day. 

In this episode we discuss the Key to Happiness and how you can close the distance between you and God.

#004 - Do you know God's voice?  Can you distinguish His voice from the thoughts in your head?

In this episode we discuss how to receive personal revelation from God.

#003 - Do you struggle with prayer?  Does it feel like no one is listening?  Or do you feel unworthy to pray?

In this episode, I share the struggles that many people have with prayer and how you can overcome them.  

#002 - In this episode, I share the formula my friend gave me to come to know how God feels about me.  I know it will work for you too.

#001 - If you found out you have just one year to live, how would you parent differently? How would you spend your time differently?

In this episode I lay out the four things that are critical for my children to know before I go.
