Time to Pivot

Phil discusses the new podcast format and shares his opinion on Donald Trump's recent announcement to run for President. 

Many would see the last year as a time of drought and longing for something new and different. We have had to learn to be long-suffering and patient through this season of drought. The amazing thing, God is near and desires for us to draw near to him. In this episode, I chat with my good friend, Donald Johns about the concept of Abiding laid out by Jesus in John 15. We talk about what it is like living in a season of drought and what our hearts ultimately long for. We dig into the concept of abiding and the need to go back to the Promise. We learn to not let practice the practice of our faith murky the waters of God's promise, instead, wade in the water of grace, to rest and have confidence and assurance in God's goodness towards us.

As we move into 2021 it would be irresponsible to throw away all the experiences and lessons learned in one of the worst years on record for most of us. All of us have very little desire to reflect on 2020, however, I believe there are some positive lessons we can take with us into 2021 and beyond. In this episode, I talk with my spiritual mentor, Stan Moser about the five lessons that I learned and that I believe could serve all of us well if we actually take the time to reflect and meditate on them.GRATEFULNESS1 Timothy 6:6-8 But godliness with contentment is great gain. Psalm 8:4-6 What is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? Colossians 2:13-14 When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross.2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!Psalm 34:1-4 I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips. I will glory in the Lord; let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt his name together. I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.PATIENCERomans 12:12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.Philippians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead, he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.PERSEVERANCEJames 5:11 As you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.James 1:2-4 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.LOVEJohn 13:34-35 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples if you love one another.”Proverbs 3:3-4 Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.1 John 4:19 We love because he first loved us.CERTAINTY Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.Romans 8:38-29 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.Philippians 3:8 What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ

Coming off the heals of our Victory in 2020 episode we explore the idea of ridding ourselves of worry, anxiety, and fear. In the Victory in 2020 episode, we learn how to take every thought captive and in this episode, we learn how to live free and enjoy life to the full! Phil sits down with his good friend Branden Stathes and together discuss what it looks like to live free. Branden is the Director of YoungLife at the University of Texas where he leads over 3,000 students and helps them navigate their faith in the middle of their college years.

What a year so far. Most folks have already written 2020 off and laser-focused on getting to 2021 and putting all of this year's chaos behind us. Depression and anxiety are at all-time highs and for good reason, but what if you were told 2020 could great? What if you were told you could be victorious and successful in 2020? Would you believe it?In this episode, Phil explores the idea of victory... more specifically mental victory. God has provided practical applications for us to win the battle of our mind and control our thought-life, leading us to a better place mentally and emotionally. Thanks to Pastor Louie Giglio, God has used a message given by him in February to prophetically help shed light on what victory can look like for us, especially in the chaos of 2020. In Louie's message "Winning the Battle of the Mind" we learn how to take every thought captive and bring in line with the authority of scripture. Phil plays portions of this message and talks through how you can practically apply these principals in your own life.For Louie's full message, "Winning the Battle of the Mind" visit the link below:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRzqW76Ba1s&t=13s

Anger can be an all-consuming emotion that keeps us from experiencing the joy of life. When anger goes unresolved it can produce bitterness and resentment. These emotions are toxic and quickly take us down a self-destructing path. In a Psychology Today article from January of 2015 they list some of the damaging effects of anger and bitterness including:Leads to long-lasting anxiety and/or depressionCreate or deepen an attitude of distrust and cynicism—qualities that contribute to hostility and paranoid thinking, as well as an overall sense of pessimism. Such a bleak perspective prompts others to turn away from youInterfere with your cultivating healthy, satisfying relationships, and lead you to doubt, or disparage, your connection to othersCompromise or weaken your higher ideals, and adversely impact your personal search for purpose and meaning in lifeUndermine your physical health.

February is here and so is a potential loss in momentum in working toward your goals and new year resolutions.
