37 min - The Father- Pt. 3- The Prodigal Son Mini-Series
Our final episode of the prodigal son mini-series closes with our last character, the Father.
I have to admit that I haven't spent much time thinking about the Father beyond the thought that he seemed a little foolish to welcome back his son with open arms. Wouldn't discipline have been more fitting? His part seems so small, but I'm sure that I'll have a brand new inspired way of looking at the Father that I will carry with me on my journey after this conversation.
I am grateful to have back with me Jennifer Hayes. I have so enjoyed digging into these two brothers' characteristics and unraveling all the symbolism that we today can connect to our own lives. I've really gobbled up looking into the younger brother as an example of extravagance gone wrong, as well as the vast lack of extravagance in the older brother and how both lead to a wasteland.
Our story takes place in Luke 15:11-32
We also make reference to 1 Corinthians 4:15.

1 hr - Prodigal pt.2
Welcome back with me, Jennifer Hayes. Jennifer has graciously shared some of her notes with us. Please enjoy this comparison sheet between the two brothers to help enhance your own study.
The story we are discussing takes place in Luke
Younger Brother:
- Grace is owed
- doesn't understand the value of his family position
- Extravagant with himself
- no personal standard no moral/material restraint
- finds himself in an environmental wasteland *moral poverty
Older Brother:
- Grace is earned
- doesn't understand the nature of his family position
- extravagant with no one (not even himself)
- no personal kindness/ is in moral/material bondage (too much restraint)
- Is in an internal/spiritual wasteland *spiritual poverty.
Blessed are the poor in Spirit for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven--Inheritance!!

She is a wife, mother, author, and co-founder of Fuel Your Body, Feed Your Soul, a God-first approach to nutrition, body image, and food relationship. Fuel Your Body, Feed Your Soul is founded on Romans 12:2 and focuses on renewing the mind before transforming the body.

50 min - Finding Your Worth
Inside today's Podcast, I have with me, Jennifer Riales. She is a freelance writer for a local magazine called The Roanoker. She's been blogging for almost three years at Pen, Paper, Coffee because all you need is a cup of coffee and some paper and pen. She currently lives in Roanoke, Virginia with her husband, son, two cats, and their dog.
We all yearn to fit in, to belong. Perhaps it started on the playground in elementary school, but the desire still exists in our daily lives.
Some are aware of this desire to belong and have a healthy grasp on it and some live with some sort of self-esteem issue or disorder? Perhaps the desire to belong has transformed into an addiction, chronic pain, the possibilities are endless.
We all want to belong, and we all do belong to our creator. He will always have his arms open, waiting for you to find that belonging in Him.

29 min - Who's Standards Are You Following?Inside today's podcast, I have with me Ashley Price. She is a Homemaking and Homeschool Expert who helps Christian moms balance running their home, strengthening their marriage, supporting their kids without sacrificing their sanity and me-time. She's been credited with creating the Christian Mom’s Netflix with her signature monthly membership, Prudent Homemaker. Her journey began in 2014 when a missionary knocked on my door and introduced her to Christ. It was a crazy ride to go from, let’s call it worldly, to a Christian homemaker. She currently lives in the woods of South Georgia with her husband, two boys, and two black labs (that think they are lap dogs).In this episode, we discuss God's standards vs. the world's standards. Honestly, the boldness of this topic may offend you, but it's always important to share the truth for the sake of love.Ashley has created a special link just for us!

49 min - Seeking Paradise Moments with God-Bonus Episode (1)
Hello friends! In today’s bonus episode, I’m bringing you something new, but it won’t be new for long, as I intend to share these with you every month.
Support by clicking here!
Today I will be sharing a sample from my current new work in progress, a brand new book called The Relevant Old Testament. I’ve been sampling it out to readers and so far they are eating it up. I could not be happier about this. I’m so glad they are enjoying it and benefitting from what they read.
Marilyn said, “The way you can put it in today’s language really does connect the old testament to us now. God is certainly giving deep understanding and you communicate it so well. This would be a great daily devotional book that gives encouragement... especially when I life is hard now for so many and so many different ways!”
Sharon said, “Oh girl! This is good. I like the intro because it draws you to want to read more. Getting Started, is a great transition from your intro. I appreciate the fact you clarify in the being believer and follower, pure gold! It is sad to see so many believers, but not followers. I am excited to get the next sample.”
Marilyn and Sharon, I thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to give these samples a read.
Today dear listener, I’m going to share with you the first 2 samples of this book. Message me if you’d like to send some feedback my way!
