The Lifestyle Faith Podcast with Pastor Shane and Pastor Scott discusses various life events and how to handle them, including heatwaves, weddings, and summer plans. They reflect on the rapid passage of time and offer wisdom on cherishing moments with family. The conversation shifts to dealing with worry, the importance of trust in God, and how to adopt a mindset of encouragement, much like Barnabas from the Bible. They emphasize avoiding criticism and leading a life filled with the fruits of the Spirit. The episode concludes with a prayer for encouragement and a call to action for listeners to find and be a source of encouragement in their communities.

Eliminating worry starts with purposeful prayer. Pastor Shane looks at three examples of praying on purpose in the Bible.

As we continue to see the "Power of Encouragement", we see how important it was for Paul to be lifted up by Barnabas. Similarly, David faced hardships and the Bible says he encouraged himself. Both are powerful!

Last week Pastor Shane began a message about worry from the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus confronts our worries. Changing our mindset towards what is true and right and pure will give us the power to let go of worry.
