Lead Your Life

It seems like everyone you talk to is on a diet. But what happens when your dream of weight loss leads you down the dark corridor of developing an eating disorder? Two of the most common eating disorders plaguing young women and men around the world are anorexia and bulimia - illnesses that have taken far too many lives. But this doesn’t need to become your reality.

Join me in this candid conversation with Elise Harboldt, survivor and overcomer of both these menacing illnesses that threatened to destroy her. 

Elise recently finished a Masters in Ministry with an emphasis in Counselling. She is a registered nurse and currently works as a mental health recovery coach in the United States.

How well do you sleep at night? For Fredric Almond, growing up as any normal 11 year old in South Central L.A., sleep was never an issue until one night a burglar broke into his home and a horrific confrontation led to his mother's life being taken and Fredric receiving 39 stab wounds. The doctors predicted Fredric would die but he didn't. Fredric lived. And Fredric didn't just live to continue a life of bitterness, hate, and anger towards his perpetrator, Fredric learned the art of forgiving deep. He now lives for the purpose of helping people heal from their emotional and physical scars. Fredric is a father, church leader, and author of the book, Scarred for Life, based on his life story.

Let’s face it. Christianity has never been attractive in the past and is even less attractive today but the reasons are different. In the past Christianity was seen as a rebel religion started by a radical leader called Jesus Christ. As a result the church was heavily persecuted. Today, there’s no persecution but when people think Christianity they think scandals and hypocrisy and when they think of it as a religion they see it as irrelevant, stale, and lacking in substance. Is this accurate?

Join me and Dr. Sven Ostring, Ministry Strategist, as we probe this important question of why Christianity stinks for millions of people world-wide and the root cause of this perception.

How can you time things perfectly in life? How do you know the right time to make decisions? For example, how do you know the right time to start a new ministry if you're a church leader? How do you know it's the right time to get serious about a relationship? Or, when's the right time to shift jobs or even careers? A lot of us make decisions based on intuition or guesswork.

Some describe timing things perfectly as an art and some describe it as a science. But could it be that timing things perfectly is more about devotion - having an intimate and personal relationship with God who knows all things?

In this month's podcast, we interview Zac Page, pastor of the Templeton Hills Church in California, who realised the value of timing things perfectly when he and his church embarked on the journey to build and establish a thriving community farm at the start of the pandemic. You will discover how multiple mistakes were avoided, many decisions timed to perfection in what could only be attributed to divine guidance, as Zac discovered the power of devotion in letting God take the lead. Three key principles to watch for when it comes to timing are: 1. Begin with prayer; 2. Form a team; 3. Move forward through obstacles. Hope you're blessed as much as I was! Check it out!
