Today's episode is a special guest interview featuring my friend Emanuel Chiquini. It's also the first to include video, in case you're interested in watching.

Have you ever wondered why God allows suffering? Do you contemplate questions such as:

"If God is with us, why do we need to experience suffering?"

"If God is lloving why do horrible things happen all around the world?"

"Is God really in control?"

"How do we know God is good and working on our behalf if we can't see anything good going on during times of distress?"

Please listen to today's conversation as we tackle questions like these and other related subtopics. I believe today's conversation has the potential to encourage, inspire, challenge, and motivate you to trust, serve, and obey God.

Thanks for stopping by the podcast. Thanks in advance for your comments, reviews, and feedback, which are greatly appreciated. God bless!

Today's podcast primarily focuses on the dangers of comparing ourselves to others. I discuss various aspects of life where this concept applies. Let's ensure our desires align with God's will for us and evaluate whether our hearts are centered on Him. I also explore the balance between ambition and achievement alongside rest and contentment.

Take a listen today if ideas along these lines interest you!

Do you have a grateful attitude? What are the perks of gratitude and contentment? How is pride detrimental to my life? What are some of the benefits of friendly correction? How do I recognize God's sovereignty and surrender to His will?

Today's goal is to pursue answers to these subtopics and more! Check it out today, I am confident it will provide you with much food for thought and refresh the desire to appreciate God's blessings in your life.

Today's podcast revolves around dating. Join me as I adopt a Biblical lens towards relationships. We may find reasonable answers towards concerns such as:

- How do we ensure that God remains a priority in our lives in seasons where we're dating?

- Where do we derive lasting satisfaction, joy, and happiness?

- When are we susceptible to idolizing our partner?

- What is the best way for us to avoid, or at least defer, infatuation so that we can choose our future spouse wisely?

Let's reflect on a few of these questions as they pertain to Christian dating! May God bless us all with the insight and wisdom we need to ensure that we glorify Him and continue to learn from His Word in every season of life!

In this podcast I want to identify the importance of unity in the Church. Likewise, I want to share the distinction between unity and uniformity to ensure that we would all recall we aren't meant to be duplicates of one another. Instead, we are uniquely to answer God's call in our lives with our unique set of gifts and talents.

I invite you to join me as I explore this topic, and a few other subtopics, in today's podcast!

It's not easy to love people who are challenging to love, but God calls us to do so. In fact, God calls us to love our enemies! We must rely on Him to lead us through the Holy Spirit to do so. If we only love those who love us what reward can we expect?

Let's explore this idea and see how it may impact us in our daily lives. How can we emulate Jesus Christ, glorify God, and serve others in the process? I know none of this is easy, but certainly if God calls us to do so, we can trust that it's worth it.

Thank you for listening today! God bless you all!
