Worth Living Life

Welcome back to the Worth Living Life! Today, I share a thought that's been bouncing around in my head the last week. It all started when a few statements in an audiobook I was listening to didn't sit right with me, and continued with a discussion at a Bible study. When we're looking for clarity, purpose, or meaning, there is a truth that cannot be denied... This life is not about us.

On today's episode of the Worth Living Life, I'm joined by Pastor, Author, Speaker, and Sportswriter Tyler Smith. Listen in as we dive into his story, especially revolving around his new book, "Searching for Seven: The Journey of Seeking God Seven Days a Week" You can find and follow Tyler at searchingforseven.com

In today's episode of the Worth Living Life... I am joined by award winning filmmaker and author Chris Staron! As he shares his journey into creating media, leading up to his current project, the Truce Podcast, he shares life lessons learned including: His journey into filmmaking... The path he took when he wondered about becoming a pastor... His go-to choice when faced with choosing between directions in life... The piece of our culture welcomed by the church that worries him most... and, what advice he would give to a young person seeking direction and God's will in life. You can find Chris on: Trucepodcast.com trucepodcast@yahoo.com or most social media platforms under the handle @trucepodcast

In today's episode of the Worth Living Life... I share a question that was raised during the discussion after today's live training in the 5 Days to Purpose challenge. Namely, how do we decide if we are supposed to be faithful right where we are at, or if we are supposed to pursue some other direction? In this episode, I dive a little deeper into that, and share my take... Tune in to hear the rest!

In today's episode, I continue sharing a peek behind the scenes of the 5 Days to Purpose challenge. Today was the second day of the live training, so I share what the delivery of the challenge looks like, how I prepare (and some advice for anytime you are in a position to share with others), and a life lesson I was reminded of when I watched a random person's video... Enjoy the episode!

In today's episode, youth minister Jeff Harding from Dallas, Texas share his story - and insights learned along the way - going from a kid with self image issues, to a multiple-degreed youth minister who has had the opportunity to work with a myriad of churches, camps, and retreats of all sizes over the last sixteen years. A few highlights from the interview: - The examples and experiences that lead him into youth ministry - The crucial role mentors played in his life, and how to find one... - Sharing the Gospel with people who look like they have it all together - A conversation with 18-year-old Jeff - "Cancel Culture": What it is and how it affects us right now... I truly enjoyed recording this interview, and hope you pick up some of the nuggets that Jeff was putting down. To connect with Jeff, check out his website: https://jeffdharding.com/

For years, I wrestled with the question: "What is God's will for my life?" But there was another question that hurt even more: "What if I have messed up so bad that God can't (or won't) use me for anything?" In today's episode, I dive into where those questions came up in my life, and a couple of the tactical steps that helped me... I'll dive deeper in future episodes, but for now, I'm super excited about something that is starting Monday, June 1st.

Welcome to today's episode of the Worth Living Life! There is some exciting things coming together behind the scenes! But, I wanted to take a moment and share an update. A couple of weeks ago, I deleted all social media apps off of my phone, and started using a "lockbox" for it every night. The results have been pretty cool! Listen in to hear my thoughts... (Lockbox mentioned: https://www.thekitchensafe.com/)

When I was younger, I often asked myself this question. I had dreams of being used by God for great things, but I would think "I've messed up so many times, how could God Love someone like me?" With all the focus I have been putting on getting up off the couch and pursuing God's purpose for our lives, I wanted to be clear: God's Love for us is NOT based on our performance for him. According to the Bible, God loved us before we ever considered loving him. Yes, action is important, but let's keep it in perspective!

As you go about your necessary daily tasks, whether that be schoolwork, your job, or everyday activities, do you ever have that quiet, nagging feeling that there is more to life? That something should be different, but you can't quite put your finger on it? On today's episode, I share my take on why taking action on that feeling is critical, pulling from some speech notes I wrote over 3 years ago.

Have you ever had a dream or goal that you wanted to accomplish, but just couldn't find the motivation or willpower to do what it took to accomplish it? Yeah, me too. But, then I discovered that a lack of willpower was not my problem... and it's not yours either! Listen in to this episode as I share this amazing, life-changing, and FUN principle!

In this episode, I dive into what a conversation with a friend, a passage of scripture, and a YouTube video taught me about my response in the face of the stress and uncertainty of life today. Listen in, then hit me up on Facebook or Instagram!
