The Walking Closer Podcast

Do you like change? Are you one of those people who runs from change? Does change make you uncomfortable? Todays episode is all about putting a positive spin on change and may even help you determine whether the change that is happening is good and needed.

This episode is all about being ok with being a work in progress. Sometimes transformation comes faster and other times is come slower. It can be discouraging at times, but remember you are a work in progress.

Transformation is a process whether we like it or not. It can be confusing, exhausting, and daunting at times. How do we cut through all this and continue to make progress?

What we really want, our wills, informs how we respond to everything. It informs what we say and think. It empowers how we feel in the moment. What happens when our wills are splintered, contradictory, divided, corrupted? This episdoe highlights the internal conflict we experience as a result of the condition of our "wills." 

We are so good at acquiring information, but what do we do with it? Information alone does not change us. Just because we know the right answers doesn’t mean they will transform us? Are we teachable?

How do we change our character? Can we just will it into being? Can we force character change through force of habit? 

This episode is all about Character. Good or bad we all have character. So, what is it? 

Up to this point we have spent most of our time discussing the mind (thoughts, feelings, images, and ideas that occupy the mind). We have discussed how our minds are formed and shaped through our life experiences and how they regularly impacts us. Now What? This episode will begin a series of episodes where we specifically talk about our hearts and how to align our hearts with God.

Focusing of inner transformation can be exhausting at times. You might feel beat down, drained, tired of facing your failures or character flaws. How do you handle those times? This episode is all about makeing time for rest and renewal. I hope to give you some ideas by recounting my most recent 3 day retreat. 

This episode addresses how to move forward with replacing those feelings that lead to destructive behaviors. Its all about cultivating within ourselves those godly conditions that embodied the heart of Jesus.
