Real Talk with Ben

In today's episode, I decided to talk about the frustration or confusion I had with myself for not being a teacher right after graduation. You work for four hard years and push yourself, so you can get a job in that degree. Now yes, becoming a missionary was where God led me, but it still was hard for me to handle. But I soon realized that the things I learned in my education degree can help me in other jobs and in life. So you see, if you end up not at the job you thought you would be at, that is okay. But make sure that you are following where God is leading and using what you learned in your degree to help others. God WILL use you!

In today's episode, I continue my discussion on teaching. This week I focus on the joys of teaching! Not just in the classroom, but the joys of every aspect of being a teacher. It is really hard to fit everything into one episode, but I hope that it allows you to see the joy that teachers have, but also the struggle. I also hope that these past two weeks allow you to see that the teachers need the encouragement too. We all have had that teacher that has impacted our life. Take some time and say thank you! THEY DESERVE IT! 

In today's episode, I decided to talk about my journey into teaching. Over the next two weeks, I will be discussing both my journey into teaching, but also the joys of teaching. I serve an amazing God and my journey was just one of those "wow" moments from God. From a kid who never wanted to be a teacher to someone who loves to interact and teach kids everyday. My God is an amazing God and I hope that from this you can see God in every part of my journey. I hope you enjoy hearing my journey!

In today's episode, I decided to talk about my struggles with creating videos and how being away from "home" has been hard for me. Now yes, I am home with my family, but as I have stated before, home for me is where I am at peace. Now, while I love being with family and being able to work. It has been really hard when my heart desires to be home in Hungary. I hope this episode helps you see my heart and how I focus on where God has me now. And that is my question for you, are you focusing on where God has you or are you trying to go somewhere else? Let's focus on where God has us!

In today's episode, I discuss the importance of living for Christ especially in the work world. I know it can be hard in today's world, but then again, God never said it was suppose to be easy. Living this life will be hard at times, but we are still called to live for Christ. In this, I discuss the process that I have gone through in order to find the job that God wants me in both in the present and in the past. It is easy to take the job with the most money, but it truly matters to take the job that God knows we need. Are you a light for Christ in your work place?

In today's episode, I decided to give my final thoughts about my year in Hungary and then discuss the differences between Hungary/Europe and the United States. I also give my thoughts on where is home for me. I hope that this episode will give you all some insight in how we can be the change and how we can live for Christ every single day. It's always hard to see the struggles, but when we do we learn how to change for the Lord. God is good!

In today's episode, I finish up my three part series called The Journey Series. Over the previous two episodes, I went into detail on the things that I have learned over this past year. Now, for the final part of this series, I have decided to talk about applying and growing from the things I have learned over the past year. I think it is so important to grow and learn and I hope you all can take some encouragement from me. To finish up before I head back to the US, I decided to share some memories that will last with me for forever.

In today's episode, I continue my Journey Series, where I discuss three different topics of my journey here in Hungary! This week I discuss lessons learned over the past year. These lessons range from experiencing change to ministry to how I grew in the past year. All of these have had an impact on my life. I want to discuss with you all on how these things are not bad, but rather a way to grow in our walk with Christ. This journey called "life" is short, but our "life" in Christ last for forever. I hope we can live our life with the purpose of proclaiming God's goodness.

In today's episode, I start a three part series on my journey here in Hungary. They will cover my expectations, lessons learned, and application for the future. I decided that since I have three episodes left before I leave to head home, that I would use this time to share my journey with you all. Now, throughout this past year you have heard a few things here and there, but more than that I want to share some things that have changed me. In this first part, I decided to talk about my expectations versus what happened. Not just focusing on what changed, but how I now view expectations. I hope that this series can help you in your walk with Christ and allow you to apply lessons to your life.

In today's episode, I decided to talk about something close to my heart. That is the topic of loneliness. We have all faced the feeling of being alone and it is really hard sometimes to understand how to deal with it. So, I thought that today I would tackle this topic and discuss my experiences with loneliness and how I dealt with it. I will be honest and say that i don't have all the answers, but I hope that these experiences will encourage you that God is always with you and you're never alone.
