There is a time and place for everything. When is time to transition from your ministry to a new challenge?  It's never easy leaving a position and starting a new one. Remaining too long in one position can bring a temptation to just continue doing what already is in place. Sometimes, we need a need challenge, we need some new life. sometimes God calls us to something else before that happens.   God puts us where we need to be, but he also invites us to move on when the time comes.

What is your prayer life like? How do you carve out time for yourself to develop your prayer life?  In this episode, we talk about how establishing boundaries in your prayer life is important for your own spiritual growth. Working in ministry, there will be natural moments of prayer, but you also need your own. Commit to finding moments of prayer that will help you grow spiritually. The episode may seem like a challenge, but I do encourage you to try to separate your professional faith life from your personal faith life.    Thank you  for listening to this week's episode.

Have you ever been stuck in an "I don't know" phase? It's much more common than you think. Take a listen in this weeks episode on how to combat it. My famous saying is, "know what you know and know what you don't know."  Slowly, but surely, we can grow confident in turning "IDK" to "I KNOW THAT!"  Thank you again for listening to this week's episode.

This episode is my most personal yet. We work with some many youth and young adults who struggle with mental health. Why is it so difficult to walk with them on their journey, but our own mental health is not as important?  I have had some negative experience where people say, "pray it off" or "grow stronger in your faith." That is not always the case. Sometimes, we just need a little help ourselves.  Website: ratedg.me E-Mail: guilhermelopes@ratedg.me Music created by: Stephan Ruggiero Artwork created by: Giovanni Lopes  Rated G LLC is a registered and licensed LLC in the state of Pennsylvania.

It takes some discipline to not  interject after every comment. Sometimes, it's better to remain quiet and still than to be the loudest and combative in the room. When do you pick and choose your battles? How do you discern that?  Music created by: Stephan Ruggiero Artwork created by: Giovanni Lopes  Rated G LLC is a registered and licensed LLC in the state of Pennsylvania.
