Ever feel a restlessness that no pleasure can satisfy? 🤔💭 You’re not alone — centuries of Puritan insight reveal that the human soul is made for infinite satisfaction… which can only be found in God Himself. 🌊✨

In today’s episode, we explore the pursuit of created pleasure 🍰📺💸 and why it always leaves us wanting more. From the thrill of the next bite, the next scroll, the next distraction — none of it can fill the soul’s deepest longing.

We also examine the life of Christ 🕊️, fully human and fully God, who experienced hunger, joy, friendship, grief, and labor, yet never misplaced His desires in created things. He shows us the path to true, God-centered delight — enjoying creation as a reflection of its Creator, not as a replacement for Him. 🌟🙏

If you’ve ever wondered why “more” never satisfies, or why rest feels just out of reach, this episode is for you. Tune in to discover the cure for emptiness and how the life of God in your soul transforms the way you see pleasure forever. 💡💛

✨ Listen, reflect, and let your longing point you home. Your soul was made for more than fleeting delight — it was made for the infinite God. 🕊️💧

🕊️ In a world that rewards roar 🦁 and rush 🐅, God delights in the quiet strength of the meek. 💫 He doesn’t ask for sacrifices from lions or tigers — but from doves and lambs 🕊️🐑 — the gentle, surrendered, yielded ones.

💡 Meekness isn’t weakness. It’s strength under grace — the power to stay calm when everything inside wants to react. ⚖️ It’s choosing peace instead of panic, patience instead of pride, rest instead of rivalry.

Jeremiah Burroughs called meekness the “mother-grace” — the virtue that gives birth to every other. 🌸 It births kindness when you’re provoked, silence when you could fight back, forgiveness when you’ve been wronged. 💗

🔥 The world prizes control. But heaven crowns surrender.

To walk in meekness is to live yoked to Jesus — gentle, lowly, and perfectly at rest. 🌿

✨ Let the Spirit form that mother-grace in you today.

Because lions and tigers may rule the jungle,

but lambs and doves belong to the altar —

and that’s where the presence of God rests. 🙏

Have you ever wondered why your soul feels restless—even when life looks full? 🤔✨ Deep inside every person is a longing placed there by God Himself 💛. We were created to seek Him, but sin has bent our hearts toward everything but Him. 🌍💔

Yet that ache you feel isn’t random—it’s a holy nudge calling you home to your Creator 🙏🔥.

If you stripped away every possession and pleasure, what would be left? 🕊️ The answer may surprise you. Beneath all the noise remains your mind, your will, your capacity to love, and—most of all—your soul made in the image of God 👑.

We’ll talk about this reality through Scripture 📖 and the sobering story of Dennis Prager, whose life changed after a tragic fall left him paralyzed. 💬 Though his body is confined, his voice and spirit remain strong—reminding us that our worth is not in what we can do, but in whose we are. 🙌

Feeling restless? 😟 That longing in your heart isn’t a flaw—it’s a holy nudge from God ✨ drawing you back to Him. True contentment doesn’t come from what you have, but from who God is ❤️. Every earthly pleasure, every possession can only partially satisfy… but God fills the emptiness of your soul completely! 🙌

When you anchor your heart in Him, you receive His borrowed sufficiency—His fullness becomes your life 🕊️. You stop chasing more and start delighting in what God has given 🎁. The discontented heart whispers, “I need more,” but the renewed heart joyfully says, “God is enough” 🌟.

This episode is short, sweet, and to the point. BUT...every word is power packed! I'm excited to share this with you...Kenny

🔥 Show Notes:

“The love of Christ constrains us.” (2 Corinthians 5:14) 💞 Have you ever stopped to measure how deeply you owe your Lord? He’s forgiven your sins 🙏, clothed you in righteousness 👑, steadied your steps 🪨, and prepared both heaven for you 🌤️ and you for heaven ✨. But love like that demands a response—more than words, more than sentiment.

💡 What does your love do?

Real love acts. It gives. It serves. It moves! When Christ’s love grips your heart, it becomes a rushing wind 🌬️ that clears away worldliness and propels you into joyful obedience. “For Christ’s sake” becomes your anthem—the fire that fuels every act of courage, generosity, and service.

🔥 Let His love be the divine energy that gives wings to your feet 🕊️ and strength to your hands 🙌. Don’t keep your love locked away like stagnant water; let it flow freely in deeds that glorify Him. When Christ’s love truly constrains you, obedience isn’t forced—it overflows. 💖

🎧 Listen now and let His love rekindle the fire in your soul.

🎙️ Episode Show Notes ☕

Ever walk into a grocery store and feel awe? We're diving into Thanksgiving Plus—gratitude with a soul-stirring twist! 🦃✨ Inspired by the new Spring Hill, TN, Publix (48,000 sq ft, $8-9M investment), we explore the invisible scaffolding of society—the thought, capital, and care behind everyday spaces. 🏬💡 No gluttony here, just marveling at craftsmanship, purpose, and community provision reflecting God’s creative heart. 🙏

Key Points:

• Publix’s upscale design isn’t just shopping—it’s a community hub, like Joseph’s storehouses (Genesis 41:46-49). 🥖🏪
• God’s lavish creation (Genesis 1:31) calls us to work with excellence (Colossians 3:23). 🌟🔨
• From taking things for granted to seeing the why behind the work—a soul shift to Thanksgiving Plus! 🧡
• Bezalel’s Tabernacle (Exodus 31) mirrors human effort to build with care, not for personal glory, but for God’s. 🕍

Challenge: Spot the scaffolding around you—teachers, gardens, or stores. How can you create with purpose? 💭🛠️

What a day! Listen to the podcast intro for the full story. I revisit our first episode from August 2019 to show how this podcast began and how God has kept me steadfast despite cultural shifts. My original assessments about major cities and their ongoing turmoil still hold true. I changed the byline from "equilibrium" to "peace" to clearly reflect the spiritual goal of equipping you to stand firm in a chaotic world. I’m also launching "Coffee Fueled Wisdom," a new channel to foster community online and through local gatherings, starting in Nashville and potentially expanding globally if God wills it.

🌄

Ever stumbled on something that flips your perspective? 💡 I did, browsing archive.org, when I found a public domain audiobook of every interview Mark Twain—aka Samuel Clemens—ever gave. It hit me...where was Twain during the Civil War. I remember no mention of his participation or service. The front half of this episodes reflects on his escape out west with his brother Orion. ✨ But could he really escape 🏃‍♂️ ? Could anyone? 🤔

Join me on a journey back to the 1860s...

What You’ll Hear 🎧:

• 🏜️ Twain’s escape to Virginia City and the West’s false promise of peace.
• ⚔️ The Civil War’s limits and the West’s own dangers—Indigenous tensions, lawless towns.
• 🌍 How even Twain’s world travels couldn’t satisfy the soul’s longing.
• 😔 Today’s mayhem and our urge to run from it.
• ✝️ The only true escape: heaven’s promise through Christ.
• ✝️ Key verses:Revelation 21:4, Philippians 3:14🙏

Why Listen? 💬 This episode isn’t just history—it’s personal. It’s about our ache for serenity and the hope that never fades. 🌟 Share your thoughts: have you ever wanted to escape the chaos? How do you keep your eyes on the “high calling”? Drop a comment! 📩

🎙️ Episode Title

The Grace of Silence: Grace Measured in Silence

🌿 Show Notes

What do you do when heaven goes quiet? 🤫 When your prayers seem to echo back unanswered, God may be inviting you into His most intimate form of grace — silence.

In this episode, we explore the mysterious pause in John 11:6 when Jesus delayed two days before visiting His dear friends in Bethany. 🕰️ What looked like inaction became the stage for resurrection power — the raising of Lazarus! 🌅

You’ll hear how God’s stillness is not neglect but nurture — the quiet rhythm by which He measures out His favor. 💧 Silence matures faith, deepens trust, and prepares the heart for miracles that only time and surrender can unveil. 🙏

💭 “If you believe in Me, even if you die, you will live.” — John 11:25-26

The silence wasn’t the end; it was the setup for eternal life breaking through. 🌤️

🎧 Tune in and let this reflection steady your soul. Discover how waiting in faith becomes worship — and how grace is never absent, even when all you hear is quiet. 🌾🔥

🔍 In This Episode:

• 📖 The connection between Scougal’s Life of God in the Soul of Man and Charnock’s Existence and Attributes of God
• 💔 Why even redeemed believers wrestle with a “contrarian spirit” within
• ⚖️ How recognizing our instability humbles us — and how grace stabilizes us
• 🔥 Paul’s Romans 7 struggle and how it mirrors our own divided hearts
• 💫 Why awareness of our frailty becomes the soil of worship and transformation

✨ Key Quote:

“The stability we do have is from grace… The believer’s faithfulness is not a human achievement but a supernatural participation in the constancy of God Himself.” — Stephen Charnock

❤️ Takeaway:

Our divided nature does not disqualify us — it drives us closer to the One who heals division with His own steadfast love. Every moment of grace that steadies us is evidence of the living God at work within our souls. 🌸
