Sometimes, we allow our thoughts to boss us around when we should be taking them captive. We need to be aware of our thoughts because wrong thought patterns can ruin our lives.  Ask God if your thoughts reflect what is ACTUALLY going on in your attitude toward yourself and others. Draw correction and redirection from Samson’s story in today’s podcast.

God can sometimes gets blamed for “bad” or mundane life occurrences when He is actually positioning you to a place of answered prayer.  Joseph does not blame God when his life progresses from betrayal to slavery to imprisonment. He prayed and trusted God through the trials and God elevated Joseph to a place of greater impact; the same can be true for you.

Today we are PUMPED to welcome back Jess Connolly to the show! We're so excited to jump into her new book 'You Are The Girl For The Job', as we see how she takes us deeper into daring to believe the God who calls you!

Look in your life expectantly. God loves us so much that when we are “straining at the oars” of our life, He comes to help us; however, He may be present as something that doesn’t look like him. Look around your life.  Watch for Jesus. He may look like a “ghost” as he did to the disciples in the boat, but He is there.

In a culture where our lives are built upon a pedestal of keeping busy, we’ve left no room to have a “spiritually vibrant life,” explains John Mark Comer. "Hurry is incompatible with the way of Jesus. The love, joy, and peace that form the nucleus of Jesus’ kingdom are all impossible in a life of speed.” Our guest today shares with us from his timely book, “The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry”. John Mark Comer is a pastor and author from Portland, Oregon who’s life ambition is to "be with Jesus, become like Him, and do what He did.” Listen in today and take a pause from the hurry.

Sometimes our circumstances worsen after we pray big, bold prayers, but don’t get angry and bitter with God. Draw encouragement and inspiration from Joseph’s story that God is not rejecting your prayers and dreams, but repositioning them for the greater. Trust His love and supreme goodness through the process.
