Have you ever considered all the various ways we waste the most precious commodity of all? That commodity is time. It seems like we are all guilty of this at some point in time. DJ and Nicole are no exception. 

Busyness may not be bad in and of itself, but do we ever consider the eternal consequences of busyness? In this episode, DJ and Nicole discuss busyness in various forms and the impacts they have witnessed during their lives. 

Psalm 46:10 ESV
“Be still, and know that I am God.  I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”

Ephesians 5:15-21 ESV
 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16   making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. 17  Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18  And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, 19  addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, 20   giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, 21   submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.

There's a saying that laughter is the best medicine. In many cases, this is true. Marriage is not always easy, but there are also lighthearted moments that we take for granted. Every marriage needs laughter. Every follower of Jesus needs laughter as well. Join DJ and Nicole as they discuss the importance of laughter in marriage and faith. 

Proverbs 17:22 ESV
A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

Psalm 126:2-3 ESV
2  Then our  mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations,  “The Lord has done great things for them.”  3  The Lord has done great things for us; we are glad.

Perhaps you are facing a situation or a season where you wonder how the Lord is going to help you through it. Maybe you are in that situation or season right now. 

On this episode, DJ and Nicole discuss a season they are coming into where their faith in God's provision will be tested. The honesty of the situation is quoting part of Mark 9:24:"'I believe; help my unbelief!'"

Matthew 6:31-34 ESV
31  Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32  For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33  But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness,  and all these things will be added to you. 34   “Therefore, do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

We all love the mountain-top experiences in our faith journey. However, God will not let us stay there because He wants us to grow. Where do we grow? The reality is that most of our growth happens in the valleys. In this episode, we discuss coming off our mountain-top experiences and looking at how God wants us to grow in our faith journey continually. 

 Look at the story of Elijah in the Bible. He came off the mountain-top experience of God, involving him in the destruction of the prophets of Baal. The next thing we see is that Elijah is on the run. 

1 Kings 18 and 19.

Join us as we share our experiences with God based on the chapter entitled "Seven Realities of Experiencing God" in the book Experiencing God by Henry Blackaby and Claude V.

Proverbs 3:5-6 ESV
5  Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.  6  In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

Matthew 7:7-8 ESV
7   “Ask, and it will be given to you;  seek, and you will find;  knock, and it will be opened to you. 8  For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.

Joshua 3:13 ESV
And  when the soles of the feet of the priests bearing the ark of the Lord,  the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off from flowing, and the waters coming down from above shall  stand in one heap.”

Proverbs 27:17 ESV
" Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another."

You read that correctly, Nicole is sending DJ to Man Camp put on by Koloff for Christ Ministries. ( https://mancamp.info/ ) ( https://www.koloff.net/ )

DJ doesn't fully know what to expect, but that's okay. Christian men need other Christian men to go through their walk of faith, just as Christian women need other Christian women to come alongside them in their walk. 

This podcast episode was recorded prior to DJ heading to Man Camp. Another episode will be recorded after his return. 

1 Peter 4:12-13 ESV
12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13 But rejoice insofar as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.

It has been a while since we did a podcast. For some reason, God is using us to be part of a core team for a church plant. Join us as we step out in faith with a new adventure the Lord has us on.

Psalm 107:2 NIV
Let the redeemed   of the Lord tell their story— those he redeemed from the hand of the foe,

God is still in the redemption and restoration business even in marriages. In this episode, we hear the story of Jamie and Debra and how the Lord led them through the storm of marriage infidelity. 

We want to thank Jamie and Debra for sharing their story. They conveyed their hope is that their story will show other married couples how God can work even when we don't see how we can recover.

We are starting a new feature for the podcast - book reviews. Since we started following God's call into marriage ministry, we have been reading marriage-related books in addition to the Holy Bible. Join us as we review some of the books we have read. We're starting with a popular book written by Gary Chapman entitled The 5 Love Languages. (https://5lovelanguages.com/)  

We highly recommend this book, and it can be used in a small group study as well. Our review is just our opinion about this book. We feel that it is a great book to get started with, no matter where you are in your marriage journey.

2 Corinthians 9:6 ESV
"The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully."
