You probably view your life as either in a rut or on a role! It all depends on your daily routine! In this episode we welcome back our old buddy Aaron Bibb to talk about the importance of our daily routines. Everyone has one, but it is important to be conscience of what ours looks like because it is producing the results it is designed to get. So, if we want different results, we need to work out an improved routine. A special thanks, as always, to Bruce Frye for the theme song, "Heart of a Champion."

Your heart, is it good or bad? Can you trust it or not? Do we follow our heart or lead it? The answer to all of these questions is, well, “Yes!' The human heart is a complex thing. The muscle in your chest cavity is, yes, but even more so, is the core of your being, the very spirit of life within you, your most central part of your being, your heart.

This week we dive headlong into the topic of fear! Fear, and how we address it in our life, is an important and relevant subject. It is healthy to ask, "What am I afraid of?" And then to ask, "How is this fear able to improve me, if I will face it?" Note: Soon be on the lookout for releases from our 2023 Way of Holiness Conference.

Life hits hard sometimes, doesn't it?  Like when your children are hurting, or your job is disappointing; or like when your country is going crazy, or when your church faces another round of, whatever! If we're honest, in those times how we really feel is, “I hate this.”    We want to run from the trials and pains and sufferings, but the way of Jesus is to embrace them and enter into them.  Only in facing the adversity are we made stronger and perfected.  To run from trouble is to embrace weakness. So, how do we pass through the valley? Note: Soon be on the lookout for releases from our 2023 Way of Holiness Conference.

What is Moses praying for when he says, "Teach us to number our days (and) apply our hearts to wisdom?" It is, in truth, one of the most needful prayers and pursuits we could get in on in our day. It is necessary as leaders, as husbands and fathers, and as ministers of the gospel. Note: Soon be on the lookout for releases from our 2023 Way of Holiness Conference.

When the Bible calls us to "pray without ceasing," and "pray always," do you think, "And how can I do that? Is it even possible?" We believe the answer is "Yes," but it is another process of our growth. It is learning how we can turn our thoughts into prayers.

What is a Journal? It is a treasury of gifts from God! Words of and from Jesus, given through the Holy Spirit, tied to the scriptures, which we receive and are able to write down and keep, helping us to remember. It is a record of our journey with God! It is really one of the most precious possessions you can have once you learn how to use it (And by the way, while there is general guidance on how-to, there is no set how-to!). And what fascinates us the most, is how God himself keeps a journal! Write us at codeofmangen127@gmail.com A special thanks, as always, to Bruce Frye for the theme song, "Heart of a Champion."

We all have a rule of life, and your rule of life is working. We are becoming the sort of person our daily habits are intended to produce.

This week's episode is a special edition where we feature a recorded radio program on this essential teaching of how to treasure Christ in our hearts above all else! Jesus tells us to "lay up our treasure in heaven." Why? Because wherever our treasure is, that is where our heart will be, and ultimately, that is his greatest interest, our heart! The greatest treasure our heart can hold is the loving, valuing, and desiring of Christ above everything else. But how can we do that? What does it look like to treasure Christ above all else?

It's time for a little sabbath! A season to practice a little more of slowing the pace, shrinking the world, and shepherding the heart.

It would be almost unthinkable in our modern way to accept the strong conviction of this Psalm writer, a man who could make such a bold declaration of his faith in God and his word, "I have been faithful to your word! Lord, I now expect you to take my case and champion my cause!" How can you and I obtain and live in the same kind of boldness?

How many of us find ourselves discouraged in prayer because we feel repetitive, unfocused, and perhaps even, dare we say, bored? That can be disheartening, especially because we know prayer is vital, and we want to have a vibrant and meaningful life of prayer.

What is a sabbatical? Perhaps you have heard the term, but have you ever thought about implementing it as a regular part of your life? In today's episode Mike discusses the benefits of the sabbatical practice and how it could be an essential part of finding true renovation in your soul. What is a real Sabbatical? The elements of a real sabbatical are: A place and time to eliminate or manage the distractions. A place and time to separate from normal duties and demands and focus on recovery and wellness. A place and time for reprieve from much of the conflict which is engaged in normal life. A place and time to reset the practices and postures of a Holy Life (i.e., slowing down, rest, prayer, meditation, etc.). If that all sounds really good, then today's episode is for you!

In this special extended edition episode, we just let the recorder roll for another unedited conversation between Overtrek, Easy Target, and Rollin Napoleon. As the crew gets things back on track, the trio is back together for a discussion on how we must learn to lose our life in God if we are to truly discover what our lives are about. Particularly in terms of our purpose, vocation, and our unique niche we bring to the table. Thoreau wrote, "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation. From the desperate city you go into the desperate country and have to console yourself with the bravery of minks and muskrats. A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements of mankind. There is no play in them, for this comes after work. But it is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things.” A few highlights: Purpose is where we find our identity, it is given by God. Vocation is where we serve our community, it is living in God through our work. Niche is how I do my best ministry, when I bring my unique gifting from God into my work. Purpose is who you are. Vocation is what you do. Niche is how who you are does what you do. A special thank you to our friend Bruce Frye for the theme song, "Heart of a Champion."

Anger is a prevalent emotion in our day and one which is often misunderstood, misused, and maligned. Actually, there are times when it is right to be angry but there are also right ways to be angry.

The public schools established in the colonial era were predominately faith based and Bible centric, but clearly, we are not living in the 1700's anymore. Today, Christian parents have options to consider when it comes to the education of their children. One of those options is the Christian School, but with that comes many questions and some concerns. In this episode a number of those questions and concerns are addressed. What are the reasons for or against Christian education, public school education, or even the homeschooling option?
