I used to keep a loaf of bread in the car so that I could eat on the way home from church on fast Sundays. Needless to say, my fasts were not all that focused or centered on Christ. But I've learned a few things since then that I hope you'll find helpful.

Listening is actually made up of 2 parts. And If you don't do both parts, you aren't truly listening. And then it is hard to hear God when He's trying to talk to you. Join me as I share my thoughts on how to truly listen and hear God in your life. 

SHOW NOTES: 

Learning to listen highlights: 

1. Learning to listen starts with hearing with your heart instead of just with your mind

2. Learning to listen requires removing distractions

3. Learning to listen means putting yourself back in the conversation.

4. Learning to listen means knowing what you're listening for

Most of my thoughts today were inspired by the Come Unto Christ website and the #hearHim challenge!

With all the fear raging rampant right now, it is so hard to see that there is still SO much we can control. Fear comes from lack, from a scarcity mentality. And it is the opposite of faith. Join me as I dive into the difference between the 2 and give 4 tips on how to switch from a scarcity mentality to a more abundant mindset.

In my research for this podcast episode, I came across this talk called "The Futility of Fear". It is beautiful and profound and I encourage you to read it for yourself! 

Have you ever noticed that the prayer for baptism in our church is completely different than any other prayer we say? The one baptizing says "having been commissioned of Jesus Christ". So what does that even mean? I broke it all down for you so you can get a better idea of what that means and I hope that changes how you think about the next baptism you attend! Let me know!

Here is the continuation of last week's episode! In this episode I go over 4 steps on how to increase your hope when you feel like you need more and how there is no such thing as false hope. 

SHOW NOTES: 

Here is the link to the talk "Hope" by Arthur Bassett. 

Spoiler alert: there is NO such thing as false hope. It doesn't exist. Hope is not something that can be false. You can have complete, 100% hope in Christ and it will lead to joy and happiness and excitement and love. Listen in as I talk about how hope helps us in our lives, what it means, and why we often deny ourselves the opportunity to feel hope. 

Stay tuned for next week's episode where I will continue on this topic and talk about how to increase our hope!

SHOW NOTES: 

HERE is the link to the talk I read! It is by Arthur Bassett and it is titled "Hope". 

GREAT quotes from that talk: 

"Our inner feelings are tremendously important because we all live so much in our own inner world." 

"In other words, without hope, charity (love) is bound"

It's not as scary as it sounds :)
