E236:Finding Solitude and Personal Growth Through Walking

I have a second podcast called, "After the Amen" with Myles Hester. We recently recorded this episode and I wanted to share this with my I Can Do Platform. Myles is doing great work at the West Main Church of Christ in Lewisville Texas, where we both work together. You can find his blog at https://willingandworking.wordpress.com/


Takeaways
When asked about the kind of church one attends, it is important to define the terms and provide answers based on scripture.
The New Testament, particularly Acts chapter 2, provides a clear description of the characteristics of the church that Jesus established.
The first-century church emphasized worship, fellowship, love, and the message of salvation.
Having conversations about the church and providing truthful answers based on scripture is valuable and helps others understand the truth.

E235: A Conversation about the Lord's Church

Takeaways
Ganga's journey from Russia to Florida started with her marriage to her husband, whom she met while translating for a yoga teacher in India.
Yoga has been a significant part of Ganga's life, providing her with a pure and transcendent experience.
Ganga struggled with religion, particularly Orthodox Christianity, and found solace in yoga and the practice of removing something extra rather than fixing things.
Her transformation in speaking has allowed her to become more comfortable expressing herself, although she still feels some butterflies in certain situations. Exploring new interests and practices, such as yoga, can lead to personal growth and self-discovery.
Accepting oneself and facing emotions are crucial steps in overcoming challenges and addictions.
Recovery is not about achieving perfection, but rather learning to manage behaviors and navigate life's messiness.
Grace and self-agency both play a role in personal growth and transformation.
