We live in a world that constantly tells us to measure ourselves against someone else—whether it's their success, their appearance, their influence, or even their faith journey. The truth is, God never called us to live in the shadow of someone else's purpose. He called us to live fully and joyfully in the assignment He has given us. Joining me to unpack this is my dear friend, powerhouse Bible teacher, and best-selling author, Priscilla Shirer!

Ashley Anderson is a ministry leader and wise voice who lives in New York and has become a dear, dear friend of mine. She was our April guest on the Single Purpose League podcast last month, and we had a conversation around having a theology of singleness—What does that mean? Why does it matter? What does Scripture say about being single? It felt so important to all of us so, today, we're sharing that conversation with all of you.  We're doing that this week because Single Purpose League registration is open! We only open it up certain times a year, so we're able to have intentional time going a little bit deeper with our members, so SPL registration is open RIGHT NOW but it closes on Thursday—THIS Thursday May 15th—at 11:59pm CST. If you have a friend who could benefit from a community of women figuring out our single purpose and our purpose while single, will you text them this episode and let them know about Single Purpose League? Every month we're tackling topics that help us thrive as single people. We have an exclusive podcast, monthly livestream where we do Q&A (they're a blast) and opportunities throughout the year to meet up in person and connect. We also just announced our summer book club, so now's a GREAT time to jump in. You can learn more and sign up at singlepurposeleague.com, but remember registration closes on Thursday night and won't open again until the fall. ALSO - Katy and I are doing a live Zoom call tonight (May 13th) called Why Am I Single? And we would love for any of you to join that at 7pm Central. HERE's the Link! . . . . .

I HAVE LEARNED TO BE CONTENT. The key to contentment is realizing that God has given you everything you need to remain victorious in Christ in your present circumstances (1 Cor. 15:47; 2 Cor. 2:14; 1 John 5:4). Your ability to live triumphantly above changing circumstances is Christ's power flowing in and through you.Blessings,Presiding Elder Barbara HayesBe Still & Know | FLSB

In this episode of Nurses Uncorked, Nurse Jessica Sites and Nurse Erica welcome Dr. Lorre Laws PhD RN, a nursing leader focused on addressing nurse trauma and burnout. They discuss the systemic issues within healthcare that contribute to nurse-specific traumatization, the signs of trauma that nurses often overlook, and the importance of creating supportive environments for healing. Dr. Laws shares her journey into nursing later in life and her mission to provide resources and support for nurses facing trauma. The conversation emphasizes the need for a shift in how the healthcare system addresses nurse well-being and the importance of understanding the physiological responses to trauma. This conversation delves into the multifaceted challenges faced by nurses, including the impact of trauma on their mental health and the generational trauma that perpetuates unhealthy work environments. They also address the issue of workplace violence and the disempowerment of nurses within the healthcare system, while offering practical wellness strategies to help nurses reclaim their professional joy and contentment. They discuss the impact of system-induced trauma on nurses, the importance of education in addressing these issues, and the necessity of setting boundaries in the workplace.   Thank you to Dr. Lorre Laws PhD RN.

In our latest episode of the Amen podcast, we explored a profound truth from Matthew 22:15-22 – the story of Jesus and the denarius. While this passage is often discussed in terms of taxes and civic duty, there's a deeper message about finding true contentment and joy in God.The Missing DenariusOne detail that often gets overlooked is that Jesus didn't have a denarius when asked about taxes. He had to request one from his challengers. This wasn't because He was making a statement against money or government – He was practical enough to tell people to pay their taxes. Rather, it revealed something beautiful about His relationship with God: Jesus was supremely happy and content despite owning very little.Understanding True DelightThis brings us to Psalm 37:4: "Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart." Many interpret this verse as a formula: if we're happy in God, He'll give us what we want. But the truth is more profound – when we truly delight in God, what we want changes. The desire of our new heart becomes God Himself.Consider Abraham's story. He wanted a son for years, and God blessed him with Isaac. But when God asked Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, it revealed that Abraham's true desire wasn't just for a son – it was for God Himself. Similarly, Jesus showed us that true wealth isn't found in denarii, but in delighting in the Father's will.Living Simply and QuietlyThis understanding transforms how we view success and contentment. When we're truly delighting in God:* We stop measuring our worth by cultural standards* We find freedom in living simply* We realize we may already have everything we need* Our focus shifts from accumulating more to enjoying God morePractical ApplicationHow can we cultivate this delight in God? Here are some insights from our discussion:* Embrace Imperfect Moments: Your quiet time doesn't have to be perfect or even quiet. God meets us in the mess of daily life.* Use Technology Wisely: Don't feel guilty about using tools that help you create space for God, whether it's noise-canceling headphones or appropriate entertainment for your children while you pray.* Start Your Day with God: There's only one opportunity each day to start with God. While you can exercise or work later, that first moment with God is precious.* Remember You Already Have Him: If you're a believer, you don't need to change everything to delight in God. Often, it's just about enjoying what – and Who – you already have.A New Perspective on God's GiftsSometimes God gives us responsibilities or roles we wouldn't have chosen for ourselves. These aren't burdens meant to diminish our joy – they're opportunities to experience more of Him. Whether it's parenthood, a challenging job, or an unexpected ministry, these can become pathways to deeper delight in God.ConclusionTrue delight isn't found in having more denarii in our pockets or achieving cultural success. It's found in God Himself. As we learn to delight in Him, we often discover that we already have everything we truly need. This is a public episode.

Do you have a really hard time watching others reach their health and fitness goals, wishing you were able to do the same?  Are you watching others eat whatever they want and seem to be just fine with the way they look and not struggle with dieting? Are you caught in a constant comparison trap and can't seem to find contentment where you are in life? There are 2 truths I want to look at today:  The things we can control and the things that are out of our control. With God, those things that are out of our control can be lifted off our shoulders.   Today, I am talking about what your role is in your own contentment and how it impacts your future purpose! For 1:1 coaching information - or to hop on a call to discuss, email me at taraj@dietditching.com

I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.”As Paul describes it, contentment is being satisfied with having enough—neither desiring more nor less. It's a state of recognizing God's provision as sufficient for every situation.On the surface, contentment sounds simple: accept and be grateful for what you have. But as with most heart issues, it's far more complex.At a recent conference, attendees were asked two revealing questions:Do you feel you have enough?Who would like more?Most people raised their hands to both questions. This honest reflection highlights a tension many of us face: knowing we have enough yet wanting more. As Proverbs 30:8 reminds us, “Give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread.” However, genuinely praying for “only my daily bread” can be a struggle when we long for more security or comfort.How to Learn ContentmentPaul's contentment didn't come naturally—it was something he learned. His focus on gratitude provides a practical framework for us:Focus on What You Have, Not What You LackPaul's secret to contentment lies in appreciating God's provision in all circumstances. Whether in plenty or need, he trusted in God's sufficiency. Reframe Your PerspectiveInstead of longing for a better car, job, or house, focus on the blessings you already have. Gratitude shifts your mindset and allows you to recognize the abundance in your life. Embrace the Sweet SpotPaul's perspective mirrors the balance described in Proverbs 30:8—a place between poverty and riches where we can flourish spiritually. When we focus on enough rather than excess, we experience greater peace and satisfaction.Finding Contentment in a Discontented WorldContentment isn't something we achieve overnight; it's a lifelong journey. That's why Compass Financial Ministry is dedicating its upcoming Your Money Counts conference to this vital topic.The conference, which will take place in Orlando, FL, from February 27 to March 1, will offer an in-depth look at finding contentment in a world plagued by materialism. Attendees will explore Scripture, practical tools, and community support to grow as faithful stewards.Learning contentment is essential for spiritual growth and faithful stewardship. As we embrace gratitude and trust God's provision, we'll find the peace Paul describes in Philippians 4.For more information about the Your Money Counts conference, visit CompassFinancialMinistry.org. Don't miss this opportunity to learn how to thrive in God's provision and find true satisfaction in Him.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm looking to buy a new house near my grandkids before I retire in the next couple of years.

Finding Contentment - Pastor Andrew Kelley

Why does life so often feel out of sync with how we think it's supposed to look? In this episode, we challenge the idea of a one-size-fits-all “Emerald City” and embrace our inner gems of joy, hope, authenticity, transformation, and positivity. We reflect on how to define happiness on our own path, love ourselves in the process, and exercise caution in assuming what's good for us is good for others.

Unfortunately, we are still heavily influenced by ads that bombard us multiple times a day and the unrelenting comparison that plagues us due to social media and not feeling "enough".  How do we cultivate contentment in a world of comparison? How do we see ourselves as "enough" when it comes to our stuff, our roles, and the stories we tell ourselves? Today my guest, Courtney Florey, and I discuss these topics and much more! Courtney Florey is a military wife, boy mom, & Decluttering Coach who is passionate about helping moms find contentment in life through decluttering their homes.

In this episode, we're tackling the problem of restless dissatisfaction and how the pursuit of contentment can offer a way forward. For many of us, there's an underlying sense that something in life—who we are, what we have, or where we're headed—should be different. The constant pull of “what if” and “if only” can leave us feeling ungrounded and yearning for a sense of fulfillment that always seems just out of reach. As I looked back on my journal entries this year, I noticed contentment as a recurring theme in my conversations with God and with my spiritual director, reminding me of the peace and satisfaction that comes with learning to be present in the here and now. Drawing from my own journey and insights from Brian Zahnd's The Wood Between the Worlds, I'll share practical reflections on how shifting our mindset toward contentment can bring new clarity and peace. This isn't just about settling—it's about recognizing how an inner posture of contentment can transform our experience, even when circumstances remain the same. Whether you're a “Frustrated Idealist” in the Enneagram triad (Types One, Four, and Seven) or simply someone who finds themselves often seeking more, join me as we explore the ways contentment can anchor us in purpose, grace, and genuine satisfaction.   Links: The Wood Between the Worlds by Brian Zahnd The Journey Toward Wholeness by Suzanne Stabile The Benefits of Looking Back podcast episode   _______________________________________________________ Connect with Gem on Instagram and learn more on the Unhurried Living website and her new book, Hold That Thought: Sorting Through the Voices in Our Heads Learn about PACE: Certificate in Leadership and Soul Care Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

We're going there today! My friend Ryan Wekenman and I talk about how to help our churches and pastors understand how to serve the single people in their church. Ryan's a pastor at Red Rocks Austin and he's also the author of Single Today, which came out earlier this year. We also talk about finding contentment and being present in your current season, finding community, and permission to change your mind in big life choices. No matter your season or relationship status, I think you'll find this conversation really helpful.  If you're single (or know someone who is), our open registration season for Single Purpose League is coming to a close next week (on Oct. 28th), and it won't open again until the New Year, so make sure you come join us, especially because you'll get to go through our Advent series, Stay Tuned, together. You can find all the details at singlepurposeleague.com. There's a resource that I want to give you, too, at anniefdowns.com/pastoringsingles. It's a short PDF that offers some ideas to help your pastor connect with the people who aren't married in their church.  . . . . .
