How is our drive for success hindering our walk with God?  How is it changing the way we do everyday life?  The word "SUCCESS" can be very deceiving, and I have often found a sour filter on how I approach everyday life and, most importantly, in my walk with God.  In this podcast, I dive into My Utmost For His Highest by Oswald Chambers and unpack his devotional about this subject.

How often do I find myself struggling to do the things I want to do, but not with the things I don't want to do.  There is a war going on within us, our natural sin nature.  In this episode, I talk about how I struggle to do the things of value, but will absolutely settle on activities that bring zero value.  We have the victory in Jesus, but why is there a struggle?  I explore it in this episode.

Well, let me be honest...I struggle to give my finances to the Lord.  My reasons and excuses are many but the fact is I am not giving to God what He gave first.  In this podcast, I am going to be talking about my giving journey.  The Lord says to test me on this, and I have to say that He has shown Himself faithful.

What happens after the mountaintop experience?  How does the faith journey continue?  Unpacking these things and what I'm learning in my walk with God coming back from the mountain.  Walking in my purpose and resting in Him, has been challenging, but so important in my relationship with Jesus. 

Well, I am big into John Eldredge and also reading the book Becoming King by Morgan Snyder.  I felt God calling me on an adventure to go backpacking through Zion.  It was the concepts of these books that led me to the thought, but it did not go as planned.  I was not ready for what happened or prepared.  It was an adventure that broke my mind, but in the process cleared my mind and renewed my strength in God and leading me to hear his voice and see his beauty and find purpose. All in this episode.

I had enough!  Toys everywhere, paper, pens, crayons, books... it's all a mess and it's going away.  Let's see how this goes...

Well, I'm back.  Because i missed just coming here and speaking from the heart, not having scripts, or having to be on point.  But just speaking.  I found it was actually relieving to come without an agenda but just the idea to share what I've been going through.
