Burdens... we all have them. But are we carrying more burdens than are our own to carry? Have we taken on a heavier yoke than Jesus intends for us? Listen to Tim and Doug as they chatted about stress, burdens, and shrinking our world so we can focus on investing in things that matter, in the things that are right in front of us.

"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30, ESV

Author and Bible study teacher Erica Wiggenhorn joins us on Wake Up Right once again to share about her latest book, Letting God Be Enough. Drawing from the story of Moses—the greatest self-doubter in the Bible—Erica shows how self-doubt is tied closely to self-reliance. It’s only when you cast yourself on God that you find the true source of strength. Are you enough? The answer is no. . . but your God certainly is. Step out in His power instead of your own and watch your confidence blossom because you’re in the hands of I AM. It was great to have Erica back on the show with us!

Dr. Michael Kruger joined us during Wake Up Right to tell us about his book Surviving Religion 101: Letters to a Christian Student on Keeping the Faith in College. Written in the form of letters to his daughter, a student at UNC Chapel Hill, the book is written to address common objections to the Christian faith–the exclusivity of Christianity, Christian intolerance, homosexuality, hell, the problem of evil, science, miracles, and the reliability of the Bible. Born out of his own experience at UNC Chapel Hill thirty years ago, this book is simple and accessible, drawing on his years of experience as a biblical scholar yet with the heart of a father.

Dr. Kruger is the president at Reformed Theological Seminary in Charlotte, North Carolina, and a leading scholar on the origins and development of the New Testament canon. Dr. Kruger blogs regularly at michaeljkruger.com. View the book Surviving Religion 101 on Amazon here.
