Mike Kocolowski's early years were formed by scarcity as part of a large family with little income. But a call to ministry in his twenties led him to take radical steps on a faith journey to trusting God with his finances and tackling many of the most common barriers to generosity. As the Chief Stewardship Officer of Christian Financial Resources, Mike has been working with churches for decades to deepen their passion for generosity and to approach the topic of finances with a healthier, biblical perspective. In his book Happily Generous, Mike invites people to connect with God as the Great Giver, addresses the major barriers to generosity, and provides a spiritual framework to help people understand the tangible joy that comes from a generous life. Major Topics Include: Mike's background and calling to vocational ministry Recognizing seeds of generosity in the midst of scarcity The cumulative effect of small, generous acts How God set the stage for what Mike does today Backstory and current goals of Christian Financial Resources Advice for experiencing happiness in generosity Translating God's generosity into your daily life Growing in generosity while writing his book Tips to transition from a scarcity mindset to an abundant mindset Encouragement for pastors on the topic of generosity An invitation to start each day with gratitude QUOTES TO REMEMBER “If you trust Me for your salvation, can you trust Me for your finances too?” “We all have room to grow in the area of generosity, it doesn't matter if you've been tithing since you were two years old or you've never given away a dime.” “The road to happiness is paved with generosity.” “The manifestations of God's generosity are endless.” “If we accept the premise that God's the great giver and we're crafted in His image, we will realize that generosity resides in our DNA. We are genetically designed to give.” “The happiest people I know are the most generous. And the most generous people I know are the happiest.” “Love gives.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Christian Financial Resources Happily Generous by Mike Kocolowski The Finish Line Community Facebook Group The Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW Deuteronomy 8:18 | The Power to Get Wealth You shall remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, that he may confirm his covenant that he swore to your fathers, as it is this day.

The Book of James is a letter to struggling Christians encouraging them to stay faithful in the face of great suffering. It is full of practical wisdom and truth to help us know and follow God's plan for our flourishing. In James 1:13-18, James continues his encouragement to stay faithful during trials but works through the human struggle to see trials not as tests but as temptations. In doing so, we question the goodness of God and James is quick to remind us to look through our circumstances to the One who has our lives in His good and perfect hands.

Send us a textHappy Earth Day! There are two concepts that every person should understand to be a better Earthling: entropy and self-organization. It seems like a paradox, but systems on Earth are simultaneously breaking down into disorder and arranging themselves into complex superorganisms. Everything on Earth (well, really in the whole universe) is subject to the second law of thermodynamics, which means it all dies and decays. But with access to steady flows of energy, organisms, ecosystems, and human societies can hold back the death and decay for a spell. After dropping the kids off at the pool, Asher, Rob, and Jason cover the interplay of entropy and self-organization and contemplate how to manage the inevitability of entropy with elegance (beyond morphing into a lizard person).Originally recorded on 4/8/25.Warning: This podcast occasionally uses spicy language.Sources/Links/Notes:Geoffrey West, Scale: The Universal Laws of Growth, Innovation, Sustainability, and the Pace of Life in Organisms, Cities, Economies, and Companies, Penguin Books, 2018.Robin Wall Kimmerer, The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World, Scribner, 2024.William Rees, “End game: the economy as eco-catastrophe and what needs to change,” Real-World Economics Review, 2019.The laws of thermodynamics, as explained by the website “Physics for Idiots""Telegraph Road" - song by Dire StraitsDavid Owen, "Green Manhattan," The New Yorker, October 10, 2004.Other Crazy Town episodes you might like:Crazy Town 100 - A Temporary Techno Stunt: Tom Murphy on Falling out or Love with ModernityCrazy Town 35 - Self Domestication and Overshoot, or… the Story of Foxes and Russian MelodramaCrazy Town Bonus Riff - Vanilla Andreessen, Pygmy Marmosets, and Hi-Tech DelusionsSupport the show

What's good? When you stop to think about it, that can be a deep question to ponder. In this episode of UNSCRIPTED we discuss what is GOOD and where all the good gifts in our life come from.
The spark that would cause the sharing of your faith to become effective is the acknowledgement of every good thing that is in you in Christ Jesus. The key to your effectiveness as a believer is in acknowledging every good thing that is in you in Christ Jesus. These good things which are now in you in Christ Jesus are there because of the finished works of Christ. Discover more in this episode.Support the show
An episode from Bible Believers Baptist Church (BBBC), a conservative, independent body of King James Bible believers located in Corpus Christi, Texas. Bible Believers Baptist Church's statement of Faith:A Bible Baptist is one who believes in a supernatural Bible, which tells of a supernatural Christ, Who had a supernatural birth, Who spoke supernatural words, Who performed supernatural miracles, Who lived a supernatural life, Who died a supernatural death, Who rose in supernatural splendor, and Who will one day return in supernatural glory to establish a supernatural kingdom on earth. What BBBC believes about Creation: “We believe in the Genesis account of creation, and that it is to be accepted literally, and not allegorically or figuratively; that man was created directly in God's own image and after His own likeness; that man's creation was not a matter of evolution or evolutionary change of species or development through interminable periods of time from lower to higher forms; and that all animal and vegetable life was made directly and God's established law was that they should bring forth only “after their kind.”What BBBC believes about Salvation: “We believe in God's electing grace; that the blessings of salvation are made free to all by the gospel; that it is the immediate duty of all to accept them by a cordial, penitent and an obedient faith; and nothing prevents the salvation of the greatest sinner on earth but his own inherent depravity and voluntary rejection of the gospel; which rejection involves him in an aggravated condemnation. We believe in salvation by grace through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on Calvary plus nothing. Therefore, we do not believe that works are necessary for salvation, although once a person is saved, he should be careful to maintain good works.”What BBBC believes about Repentance and Faith: “We believe that Repentance and Faith are solemn obligations, and also inseparable graces, wrought in our souls by the quickening Spirit of God, thereby; being deeply convicted of our guilt, danger, helplessness, and of the way of salvation by Christ, we turn to God with unfeigned contrition, confession, and supplication for mercy; at the same time heartily receiving the Lord Jesus Christ and openly confessing Him as our only and all-sufficient Savior.” A message from BBBC to you: “If you are looking for a church in the Corpus Christi Texas area that preaches the Truth from God's Word, reach out to us at any time.

We grow into the wisdom, bravery, and strength that we need for each new season. We don't need to worry forward, compare, or judge ourselves for not knowing all the answers for our whole life.Not everything – not every core dream – is for today or this season. Not every task on the weekly to-do list must be checked off Monday morning (something I actually had to learn!). We are not in a race. Western culture gives us a sense of always being behind or in competition with each other.There is incredible rest, peace, and joy in pulling our hearts and minds back to this day and the work of this season.Three Core Dreams For My Soul-Honouring Life | A Life In ProgressIn the True Rest Resource, I've provided a description of some common challenges and invitations of each season of midlife (autumn or your 40s, winter or late perimenopause through the menopause transition, second spring or your 50s, and summer or your 60s into your early 70s).Then I provide one page per season of examples of the different types of rest you most need in that season. You might want to play with different types of rest as you move through the seasons of each year as well as through the seasons of your life.Get the free True Rest Resource: True Rest Through The Seasons: Free Resource | A Life In Progress

When we stay in the moment enough to let it fill our senses with freshness and beauty, the hike becomes a part of us.

Come join us now for a hike through the Word where we'll encounter spiritual truths that we've found to be transformative to our lives, strengthening to our spirits, more fragrant to our hearts, and more refreshing to our souls than any evergreen forest, pristine mountain spring, or mountain peak we've ever experienced!

695 Mudhoney - Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge
Dr. Herb Ward
Every good thing is a gift
Many family members have experienced the heartbreaking reality of sitting at the bedside of a loved one and listening closely to the person's last words before leaving this earth. Those last words are usually cherished by those who hear them. Today's sermon is centered around some of the last words given by the Apostle Paul, writing to young Timothy. His words were written from a Roman dungeon, where he was awaiting his death. These words are found in 2 Timothy, chapter 2. Follow along now as we hear what God is saying to us through these “last words.” Thank you for worshipping with us today from Ocean Lakes Family Campground.

Sarah highlights the research and her personal connections to the novel, including insights from her elderly relatives who vividly remember the era. She also reflects on the evolution of her characters and the themes of motherhood, self-discovery, and resilience.
