Walking Together with Dennis Leavell

Most of us recognize that God deserves our best, so why we do try to give Him our leftovers?  Our leftover time, our leftover creativity, our leftover energy, and our leftover finances.  The bible talks about a married couple who tried to offer God their leftovers.  They thought they could get away with it.  But God made sure they didn't.  Listen in and be encouraged.  Leftovers, Season 2, Ep. 5

Let's be honest, we're all looking for something that will satisfy our deep thirst for satisfaction in this life.  With the price of food, gasoline, and the cost of living skyrocketing, there's actually something that is still FREE and it has the power to quench our soul's thirst.  Listen in and be encouraged.

There are so many things that happen in our daily lives, and sometimes the only word that fits what we're going through is: "SHOCKING".  From world events to personal relationships, Jesus gives us the road map to conflict resolution.  It's not a question of IF we will experience conflict, but rather, what do we do WHEN it happens.  Listen in and be encouraged.

Have you ever been so mad you lost your temper?  How far did you act out your anger?  Has anyone ever called you out on it?  Today we look at David.  He was so enraged that he was willing to commit murder.  He didn't think about how his choice would impact his future as king of Israel.  It took a women, an agent of grace, named Abigail to make him realize just how wrong he was.  Listen in and be encouraged.

Season 2 has launched.  Every one of us is only a breath away from having our tomorrow cancelled.  But what happens to all the stuff that we've worked so hard for?  Jesus explains the principle of generosity to a group of listeners who frankly couldn't understand the concept.  He talks about a farmer who had so much more than he needed, but he chose to hoard it instead of sharing it.  When our hearts are focused on our stuff, we don’t give God credit for what He’s done.  Listen in and be encouraged.  Episode 20.

Christmas is supposed to be a time of joy and celebration, but all too often the joy gets sucked right out of us.  Listen in to hear what happens when we grumble and complain, and how God responded to a large group of grumblers.

Now that Thanksgiving is over, what's happening in our hearts?  How long does our gratitude actually last?  How often do we take a day to thank God without asking Him for anything?  Our thankfulness may be the greatest indicator of who we really believe is in charge.  Let's learn from the 9 guys who refused to say "Thank You" to Jesus.  It shows us how easily we put  thankfulness in the rear view mirror.

Let's be honest, the words that come out of our mouths can build someone up, or tear them down.  Our words are far more powerful than we think.  We've all said things we wish we hadn't, and we've all felt the consequences of speaking when we should have remained silent. Thankfully the Bible tells us plenty about the power of our words.  Be encouraged as you hear from Laura Leavell today.

What happens when you are over-worked, overwhelmed, and under-appreciated?  Whether we want to admit it or not, it will affect us physically, emotionally, and spiritually.  The bible gives us a glimpse into the lives of 3 people who approached burnout with a skewed perspective.  Let's learn from their mistakes.

For over a year now, you can't turn on the news without hearing about Covid.  But Jesus tells us about another disease that's been around for much longer ... and we ALL have it.  It's called FPD (The Finger Pointing Disease).  Jesus paints a very vivid picture of how this plays out in our lives in the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector.
