What is really essential in life? What is the one thing you don't want to miss because it has eternal implications? How do you want to invest your time and your life? This is the first of six podcasts. Today we discuss what is "Essential" and what is "Necessary." Next week we look at the other three categories of that which is "Good," that which we should "Delegate" and finally that which we should "Eliminate."

We all desire to be heard and to be taken seriously. What does "loving well" look like today? In our mentoring relationships, it speaks volumes to just be quiet and listen well to the other person. It affirms them as someone who has value and who is made in the image of God. Counselor Mark Oelze shares some insights into how to love well in our mentoring relationships.

You can hear more about Mark's ministry on podcast episodes 15-20 on our website kansasnavs.org.

The "tyranny of the urgent" afflicts most of us, preventing us from starting or completing tasks that we know in our hearts are actually more important. In this third of three podcasts on the Kansas Communities Ministry Objective: "To know Christ in my own life in ever-increasing depth and to make disciples and develop laborers at all times, under any conditions in every place I go" we explore the third component of "at all times, under any conditions, etc."

Today is the day!

Do you sometimes listen to voices that tell you that you are not worthy, that you do not measure up, that God doesn't really love you? Who am I, really? Am I what the world, the flesh and the devil say I am? Or am I who GOD says I am in His word?
