I Can Do with Benjamin Lee

Benjamin Lee urges listeners to use the final weeks of the year to slow down, complete lingering tasks, and protect time for rest rather than adding new commitments. Drawing on Stephen Covey’s “sharpen the saw” habit and Greg McKeown’s ideas about protecting the asset, he explains how clearing unfinished work can create bandwidth and momentum for the year ahead.

Want to share your faith but don't know where to start - or you're afraid to try? This sermon gives you three anchors for leading others to Christ: conviction that the gospel is worth sharing, courage rooted in God's power rather than your own, and consistent habits that turn evangelism into a regular part of life.

You'll learn how evangelism connects to loving God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, why the early church shared the gospel so naturally, and how to adapt to each season, treat people as souls rather than numbers, and keep going through difficult conversations - with practical opportunities you can act on this week.

You will get beat in life - outmatched, outplayed, outmatched by circumstances. But losing? That's still a choice. In this short episode, Benjamin Lee unpacks the difference between being beaten and giving up, and why that distinction changes how you approach sports, work, family, and every commitment you've made.

Drawing on a lesson from a coach and an example from his son's flag football team, you'll hear what happens when people lose focus, stop giving their best, or check out when things get difficult - and the question to ask yourself before you quit: how have you been playing the game called life?

Before adultery ever becomes an act, it begins in the heart. In this short study of Job chapter 31, Benjamin Lee unpacks Job's "covenant with his eyes" (Job 31:1) and why Job calls lust "a lustful crime" - an iniquity punishable by judges, a fire that consumes (Job 31:9-12).

You'll hear why guarding your eyes is guarding your heart, what Matthew 5:28-30 adds about sin starting in the heart, and what Job's example - and David's failure - teach about stopping sin where it starts.

Don't wait for January to finish the year strong. In this short episode, Benjamin Lee shares a 3-step reset: assess and release what is no longer working, reset and realign your priorities, values, and goals, and recommit to small, consistent daily actions.

You'll walk away with renewed clarity and intention - and momentum you can build on now, through mindset, clarity, and intentional action, instead of waiting for a new year to start.

"Jesus Loves Me" is more than a children's song - it's a simple, foundational truth. In this episode, Benjamin Lee explored the song's history and message, the unconditional and personal nature of Jesus' love, and how that love brings comfort, identity, and renewal.

Especially, if you're facing doubt, fear, or feelings of unworthiness, this episode is a reminder that His love is personal - and that the simplest truth you learned first may be the one you need most right now.

Are your priorities actually pointed at what matters most? In this study of the prophet Haggai, Benjamin Lee unpacks God's call to "consider your ways" - honest self-examination, prioritizing God's work, and trusting His presence for spiritual renewal.
