Once we understand what has been done for us, it empowers us to forgive what has been done to us.

When we are hurt or wronged, it can set off a whole cascade of events. But the one event that is often difficult for us is forgiving. I believe much of this discomfort with forgiving is due to a lack of understanding of its importance. In this episode we lay out the foundation for the importance of forgiveness and the power of forgiveness.

It is so important that we put ourselves in the best place to succeed. Doing so takes planning but also a further step to be proactive with the way we plan and approach situations. God is calling us to higher levels of Christian living and we are going to have to be proactive in our approach.

Intentionality can be a great way to relieve stress and set a good course for our day and our lives. Accidents do happen but they don't need to happen because we leave things up to chance. Let's be intentional about our actions and activity and handle all that we can and then trust God to handle to rest

In the hustle and bustle of life, we often times find it hard to rest. However, rest is not optional, we will do it either voluntarily or involuntarily. Trust me, voluntarily is the best way. Let's make sure we are putting our trust in God, so we can take the proper time to rest and reconnect with Him.

In a world that tells us to speed up, we have to be intentional about slowing down. When we do so, we will realize we are more productive. When you are in a hurry, you need to slow down.

Life can come at us fast, to meet life’s demands, there are a few basic things we can do to enhance our chances of success. In this episode, we discuss a few things that will help us meet life’s challenges.
