Back to Basics: Food - Ep 227 Quick Series Overview Back to Basics Series: A 12-part series covering essential preparedness topics to build a strong survival foundation. This Episode: Focused on food preparedness — what to store, how much, and the best ways to store it. Episode Highlights Why Food Matters: Food fuels your body and brain, keeps morale high, and helps you stay sharp during a crisis. How Much Food You Need: Short-Term: At least 2 weeks' worth of food for each family member (2,000 calories/day). Mid-Term: Build up to 3–6 months of staples like rice, beans, pasta, and canned goods. Long-Term: Aim for 1 year of food — include freeze-dried meals, bulk grains, and preserved foods. Types of Food to Store: Short-Term: Canned soups, granola bars, and pasta for quick, easy meals. Mid-Term: Bulk staples like rice, oats, beans, and powdered milk in food-grade buckets. Long-Term: Freeze-dried meals in #10 cans, dehydrated fruits, and vacuum-sealed snacks for variety. Storage Tips: Store in cool, dry, dark places — avoid garages or sheds. Use mylar bags, oxygen absorbers, and vacuum sealers for extended freshness. Rotate your food ("Eat what you store, store what you eat") to prevent waste. Takeaway: Food preparedness isn't just about stockpiling — it's about having variety, redundancy, and a rotation plan. Challenge: Do a "food check" at home this week — how many days' worth do you have? Are there any gaps in your supplies?

The Book of James teaches us that trials are not without purpose. Actually, the proper handling of trials will lead to a stronger faith! In the midst of trials and suffering we must be careful of sin. God wants us to resist temptation at the heart level, the level of our desires, and avoid the maturation of sin. We know, that no matter the temptation or circumstance, the Lord gives us everything we need for victory. Pastor's Challenge: • Do you recognize life's trials as opportunities to grow in your faith? This is important because we may be facing bigger challenges later in our lives. • Who do you have that you confess your sins to? • Find one person that you can be completely transparent with.

Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe. Proverbs 29:25 (NIV) the Disease to Please (Dr. Harriet Braiker) We are obsessing over what others think. We are overly sensitive to criticism. We have a hard time saying no.   The easiest way to FORGET what God thinks about you is becoming OBSESSED with what others think about you. HOW DO WE OVERCOME THE DISEASE TO PLEASE?  FOCUS ON PLEASING GOD OVER PLEASING PEOPLE. Obviously, I'm not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ's servant. Gal 1:10 NLT LIVE FROM THE APPROVAL OF GOD INSTEAD OF FOR THE APPROVAL OF PEOPLE. On the contrary, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel. We are not trying to please people but God, who tests our hearts. 1 Thessalonians 2:4 (NIV) BOTTOM LINE: You win within whenever your identity is secure with HIM.  THE CHALLENGE: Do one thing to apply the gospel daily.

NOTES:   The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. Genesis 2:15 (NIV) Work wasn't intended to be a CURSE. It was a GIFT. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Colossians 3:17 (NIV) Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters… Colossians 3:23 (NIV) How do I live my faith where I make my living? LEAN INTO YOUR PURPOSE: VIEW YOUR WORK AS A MISSION. LIVE WITH INTEGRITY START A CONVERSATION CARE FOR PEOPLE SUPPORT EACH OTHER BOTTOM LINE: The purpose of your LIFE at WORK is to show that Jesus is at WORK in your LIFE.  THE CHALLENGE: Do one thing to live your FAITH where you make your LIVING.

This last year, when the COVID lockdowns happened, I took advantage of the space in my schedule to get started on a physical fitness routine, and I tell you, I made some great progress. It was a decision that benefited me in multiple ways and made me feel better overall. But once the pandemic restrictions lessened, I slacked on my new habit. It was a choice I made, but it was fueled by a handful of lies that I was telling myself, things like, “I do not have the time anymore” or “It is not that important.” The reality is that my fitness routine was one of the best things I was doing for my health and overall productivity and success. I did not come to this realization until I took time to reflect on the past year. When I did, it all came into focus and I found an area in my life where I can make a change that improves my life going forward. Taking the time to reflect is powerful. This episode is aimed at giving you the tools you need to use the power of reflection in beneficial ways in your life. [bctt tweet="CHALLENGE: Do you regularly reflect on the past to build a better future? Listen to this episode of #BestInWealth for a guided self-assessment tour! #investing #PersonalGrowth #retirement #PersonalFinance " username=""] Outline of This Episode What is reflection? [1:29] Studies that show the importance and benefits of reflection [9:10] Questions to help you reflect on the last year [11:32] What IS reflection? If we are going to take the time to reflect, we should start out with a clear definition of what we mean. REFLECT: Serious thought or consideration This kind of consideration can be focused on anything — your day, your week, the last year (what we will be doing), recent events, or serious situations or truths. There is honestly no limit to what you can spend time reflecting upon. In this episode, what I am encouraging you to do is to come with me on a guided process of reflection on what took place in the past year (2021). If we are going to take our role as Family Stewards seriously, then reflection is essential. Why? Let us just recap the situation we all went through this past year: When COVID hit, we were all busy with the activities and responsibilities of life. But the pandemic slowed our pace of life, in some cases to a crawl. We had the opportunity to sit with family at dinner, to have deeper and longer conversations, to reflect on things in ways we truly needed. But now that life has picked up its pace once again, we have pushed some or many of those things out of our lives again, to our detriment. A time of intentional reflection is going to serve all of us well if we wish to keep the benefits of the things we learned in the past year. [bctt tweet="What IS reflection and why is it so beneficial? Listen to this episode to hear what recent studies say about the benefits and power of personal reflection. #BestInWealth #investing #PersonalGrowth #retirement #PersonalFinance " username=""] QUESTION: Was 2021 mostly a good year or mostly a bad year? When we answer questions like this our minds take a very natural and expected turn. We recall one or two major life events and whether or not those were positive or negative, we make our assessment of the entire year. So, for example… Did you get married in 2021? Following the advice outline on this podcast, did you get out of debt? Did you buy or moved into a new home? Did you start a new career or job? Those are all exciting things, so if you experienced them in the last year you may feel your year was a good one. But what if you… lost your home or your job? Experienced the death of a loved one? Endured a health crisis? If those types of things characterized your 2021, you may say it was a bad year. But here is the point: Good or bad, there are many lessons that can be learned from the things we experienced. Circumstances, mistakes, etc. can be used to our benefit if we

A few years ago, my wife Linda and I were blessed to go to Israel. One of the most impactful places we visited was the Sea of Galilee. As we walked the shore, story after story from the Gospels came to my mind. It was here that Jesus spent so much time with his disciples. It was here that he called many of them to follow him and to be his disciples. Bible scholars believe these 12 men were very young, possible even teenagers. Imagine leaving family, friends, and responsibilities to follow and learn from this new Rabbi. There was something different about Jesus, something so compelling they were willing to leave everything behind to follow him.Over the next three years they would be eye witnesses to his miraculous power, his interactions with the hurting, the broken and the lost. They would hear his teaching and would think, “no one teaches like Jesus.” These men would follow him everywhere he went. They would have access to him that no one else would have. They would follow him…all the way to the cross.Deeply impacted by the resurrection, these men would give Jesus their lives. They would obey his command to be filled with the Holy Spirit and to make disciples of all nations.I love reading Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John because we get to read the first hand report of the life and ministry of Jesus. As I read the gospels each year, I am struck with the call to follow and I recognize it wasn't a call just for 12 young men who lived in the Galilee region of Israel. It's a call for everyone of us.I don't believe being a disciple is an option. Some Christians seem to think discipleship is an optional second level of Christianity. You know…for those who are really serious, and even fanatical.No, the call to follow, the call to be a disciple comes to us all. Matthew 10:38 - “Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me.”This is the first mention of the cross in Mathew's gospel. The statement must have shocked the disciples of Jesus. At this point, these 12 men did not know Jesus would die on a cross. Of course, they were familiar with the Roman method of execution by crucifixion. But in this sentence Jesus seems to be likening discipleship with the horror of crucifixion. How can this be? What is Jesus saying? What is our cross to bear? Jesus is not referring to a particular difficulty, annoyance, or trial you must face. Sometimes I hear people say, “Well, I guess this is just my cross to bear.” This is not what Jesus is referring to in Matthew 10:38.Jesus is saying that true discipleship is a death to self and a resurrected life unto God. It is death to our selfish will, our sinful nature, and our old life. It is following Jesus and walking in the new life he would offer us.What these 12 men would learn is that the dying to self and the walking in new life is something they would do daily. This is Christ's call for discipleship. I hope you hear his call. He's calling people like you and me to deny ourselves, to take up our cross, and to follow him.Everyone one of us listening today struggle with surrendering to God. It's hard to yield our will to God's will. But what we gain is so much greater than what we lose. That's why Paul says in Philippians 3:7-8:“But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 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.”Today's Challenge: Do you hear the voice of the savior calling you to follow? Do you hear him asking you to deny yourself, to take up your cross, and to follow him with all that you are and all that you have? Receive this truth today: everything you need is on the other side of surrendering your life to Jesus.

I'll never forget a quote by Billy Graham. He  once said, “Heaven is full of answers to prayers for which no one ever bothered to ask.” This quote has stayed with me for quite some time. James 4:2 says, “You do not have because you do not ask God.”Sometimes our problem is that we haven't asked God at all, but another problem is that we have stopped asking him. We started out well, but along the way became discouraged, and we gave up.In Luke 18, Jesus tells the parable of the persistent widow. It's a story about a woman who needed assistance. She kept coming back to the judge. She didn't stop. Eventually, the judge answered her request. The point of the story is if an earthly judge is willing to answer the persistent request of a person, how much more will our good Father answer our requests.In verse 1 of Luke 18 we learn why Jesus told the parable. The bible says, “Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.”Can I ask you a question? What prayers have you given up on?•1 Thessalonians 5:17 says,  “Pray continually.”  Pray until the answer comes.  We know that God answers prayer according to his will.  We often do not know God's will in a particular situation, so we continue to pray and believe.  In God's time he will answer. Here are some things I'm learning about persevering in prayer:•Perseverance in prayer builds character and faithfulness•We persist in prayer because we expect God to answer our prayers.  Prayer is always to be connected with faith.  •God never delays his answers because of a lack of care or a lack of powerHere's something to understand: Persistence in prayer is for our benefit, not God's.If we always got exactly what we wanted the first time we asked, we would inevitably begin to treat God as our genie, only summoned forth to give us more wishes. But that is precisely what prayer calls into question: What do you really want?Persistence brings us to the true center of prayer, which is not something but someone. Persistence deepens our relationship with God and compels the heart to examine what it really wants most. When I pray do I really want God's will?   Do I want God even more than I want what I am asking for? I am confident that there have been many times I have prayed for things that were not good for me.  They seemed good at the moment.  I may have even thought they were God's will.  But later, I realized I was misguided and even selfish in my prayers.  God answering my prayers, the way I desired would have been terrible for me.God uses persistence in prayer to purge our desires.  God also uses persistence in prayer to mold, even transform, our desires, to change how we pray and even what we are praying for so that we gradually come to pray closer to the heart of God's will. The Apostle Paul prayed three times for a “thorn in the flesh” to be removed. He never tells us what it is, simply that it is painful, a source of torment, “a messenger of Satan.” When God didn't answer his prayer as asked, Paul changed how he was praying.  He prayed that God would help him to rely on God's grace, God's strength, God's power, which was made perfect in Paul's weakness.No doubt you have your story of frustrations in prayer. Be encouraged this morning. Persistence does not guarantee that you will get what you asked for, but it does promise you will get something better…a deeper and more intimate relationship with God.Today's Challenge: Do we trust that God is in control?  Do we trust that he know best for our lives?   Are we confident that he loves us?  If the answer to those questions is yes, then keep praying.  Keep waiting on God.  He is faithful.

We've all known Christians who are no longer walking with the Lord.  They have fallen away.  At one point their hearts were warm and on fire for God, but today they are no were to be found.  We all know the struggles of our own hearts.   We face temptations.  We live with ups and downs.The good news is that God offers to us Restoring Grace.  When we have blown it, when we walk away, when we stumble and fall.  The grace of God is available to restore us and to bring us back to where we need to be in God.  Lamentations 5:21 – “Restore us to yourself, Lord, that we may return; renew our days as of old.”Maybe today, you are at a place in your life where you need God to restore you.  Ps. 23 – “He restores my soul.”  Perhaps you were once walking with God.  Possibly you once knew God in a personal way, but somehow you allowed yourself to drift away.  Maybe you willfully rejected God and went back into a lifestyle of deliberate sin.  I want you to know that the same grace that brought you to Christ in the first place, is the same grace that will restore you.Lies we believe:  “I've gone too far.”  “I've done too much.”  “I've failed too many times.”  “I can't overcome this.”  Romans 5:20 – “But where sin increased, grace increased all the more.”When I think of being restored to God, I think of King David's prayer in Psalm 51. David had committed adultery and murder. The prophet Nathan confronted him over his son. Here's David's prayer…"Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me. Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight; so you are right in your verdict and justified when you judge. Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me. Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me."1.Being restored by grace requires a change of heart.Psalm 51:3-4 – “For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.  Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight.”Restoration involves brokenness.  Confession.  Repentance.  When these things are evident in our life God is incredibly gracious to restore us.2.Being restored by grace includes a change of mind.The principle here is that we have to change our mind about who is in control of our lives. We cannot blame our sin on anyone else. We cannot blame our sin on the Devil.  We are responsible for our own lives. It does no good to say, "I am a victim of my environment, or a victim of my circumstances, or a victim of genealogy, or a victim of bad luck."A change of heart. A change of mind. A change of direction. Do you know what all of this adds up to? Repentance.Today's Challenge: Do you need to be restored to God? Believe this truth: God is in the restoration business. Come to him with a sincere heart. Confess your sins. Repent. and Begin again.

The decisions on how we use our time is a matter of what we value. Time is an amazing resource. We should wake up every day and recognize what a gift God has given to us. Time is the one resource we can spend but can never get more of. We can make more money, but we cannot make more time.Time is interesting. The Average American will live 28,000 days (75 years).  23 years sleeping.  17 years working.  11 years watching TV (25 hours a week).  6 years traveling.  1 year in church.You might be wondering if the Bible says anything about time. Yes it does.Ephesians 5:15-16 - “ Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.”Notice carefully what these verses say… 1.  Be careful how you live your life.These verses teach us that our time is important and to not be frivolous; not to be foolish.  Your time is your life.  Live your life on purpose, not on accident.  Why should we be careful?  Because followers of Christ live in a way to honor God.  Everything matters!  2. Be wise about your decisions.Our problem is not that we don't have enough time.  The problem is that we don't always use our time wisely.  We make poor decisions.  And because we make poor decisions, we have increased stress and pressure in our lives.We all have the same amount of time.  That's not true of money.  Some people have a lot money.  Some people have very little money.  Most people are somewhere in the middle.  But when it comes to time every single one of us has the exact same amount.  We all get 168 hours each week.  3. Make the most of every opportunity.The Bible is teaching us how to manage our time in a way that pleases God.  Make the most of your opportunities!  Find out where your time is going.  Are you losing time?  Are you wasting time?  Where is it going?  Identify the time wasters.Then ask yourself the question… “Is this really how I want to spend my life?  Remember your time is your life.”  God is only giving you so much.  How are you going to use it? Consider this quote: Effective time management is not about doing more.  It's about doing what matters most.Time is a gift.  Your life is a gift.  You and I are managers of the time God has give us. Will you and I choose to use the most valuable resource God has given us for his glory and for his purpose?I grew up hearing this old quote that is still true today: “Life is short.  It will not last, only what's done for Christ will last!”Today's Challenge: Do an inventory of your time. Track your time to determine if you are scheduling your values and your priorities. Decide to honor God with how you invest your time.  Visit the website: 5MinuteDiscipleship.comFollow on social:Facebook.com/5minutediscipleshipInstagram.com/5minutediscipleshipClick here to learn how you can start your own podcast.

In this episode, we talk about how to change yourself. Follow on Instagram: http://instagram.com/tinyleaps What is Reciprocal Determinism: "According to psychologist Albert Bandura, reciprocal determinism is a model composed of three factors that influence behavior: the environment, the individual, and the behavior itself. According to this theory, an individual's behavior influences and is influenced by both the social world and personal characteristics." Behavior "behavior is controlled or determined by the individual, through cognitive processes, and by the environment, through external social stimulus events." Environment "the physical surroundings around the individual that contain potentially reinforcing stimuli, including people who are present (or absent). " Individual "all the characteristics that have been rewarded in the past. Personality and cognitive factors play an important part in how a person behaves, including all of the individual's expectations, beliefs, and unique personality characteristics." Each of these factors over the course of your life have combined in unimaginable ways to create you. The combinations are endless and so you are unique. How can we use this to change in the future? Change behavior Change environment Change yourself By changing one of these things you change the potential combinations going forward. By changing all of these things you completely shatter the path you were travelling.
