When we are overwhelmed, we feel defeated by everything we have to do. It feels too challenging for us to manage, but we keep trying and keep getting more and more overwhelmed. Then we can’t think, act, or function normally. God will help us, but we have to call on Him.

When we have a need we want God to fix it right now. Not a week from now. Not a month from now. Certainly not a year from now and for real, not 10 years from now. We are impatient people and we want what we want done right now. This episode will teach you more about how to continue to trust God for answered prayers, even if it takes some time. Don’t give up!

When everything is falling apart, what is the first thing we do? We try to fix it and if we can’t fix it, we worry about it. Then, worry leads to stress. When I am stressed, I am not trusting in God. I am trusting myself to fix what I am stressing about. In this episode, I give you five steps from stress to trusting God.

Do you feel like you have so much noise in your head you can’t even think? Or are you at the point where spending time being quiet and in God’s presence is the highlight of your day? The latter is definitely preferable. Still, why do we continually find ourselves caught up in the noise of this life?

There are so many things that feel defeating in this life. We just get through one overwhelming issue when another pops up. The battles seem endless. We defeat one and feel victorious. Then another rears its head. It’s like an endless whack-a-mole game. The only good thing about this game is that it ends.

We have to be careful that our desire for things of this world don’t become our main motivation for living. Will we still want more of the things of this world? Yes we will unless we tap into the real reason why we are on earth in the first place. We want to save our souls, not lose them. On this episode we talk about how to do that.

According to the dictionary greed is an “intense and selfish desire for something, especially wealth, power, or food.” Did you get that? It includes food and money. Looking back over my life, I saw how connected the issues of finances and food were in my life. I violated the perimeters of what I could and couldn’t have by buying groceries and fast food and whatever I wanted to eat on credit.

Is anger good or bad? Growing up I was sure anyone who was angry was evil. Anyone who was gentle, patient and peaceful was Godly all the time. This episode will help you understand the role anger should play in our lives and the role it shouldn’t play.
