(2 CORINTHIANS 13:14)

The pasuk says אדם לעמל יולד – man was created to toil. This means in order for each person to fulfill his mission in this world, it requires him to struggle and persevere. Although we hope for everything to always be easy and smooth, that is not always the case and that is not always what is best. We came here for a very unique purpose and the worst thing would be for a person to go through this world without fulfilling that purpose. The Mesilat Yesharim writes, Hashem puts us in a world with many things that try to distance us from Him. The reason is because we need to be tested to see how committed we'll be to Hashem, despite the obstacles put in front of us. In the words of the Mesilat Yesharim , we go to war every day and we need to be soldiers to be victorious. Rabbi Yisrael Reisman told a story about a man with six children. Three of them are rebellious and give him and his wife so much agony, while the other three are of great character. This man went to an Adam Gadol to discuss his struggles and he said to the rabbi, “I didn't need to have six children, I would have been so much happier if Hashem would have just given me three.” The Adam Gadol told him, “You're looking at the situation from the wrong perspective. In actuality, one of your main purposes in this world is to do your best to raise the three problem children. In Shamayim, that is all what you were destined to get, three children. But then Hashem, in His infinite mercy, gave you an additional three children that He wanted you to get nachat from.” What we might think is Hashem being harsh with us is actually just the opposite. In order to fulfill our purpose here, He gives us exactly what we need to go through. And then, out of His unending mercy, He gives us extra, undeserved blessing just because He loves us and wants to see us happy. Sometimes a person goes through a very tough time period and the entire time he is bitter about having to experience it. He is filled with complaints towards Hashem and even distances himself a little from his regular avodah . Those are the obstacles that the Mesilat Yesharim is talking about. Yes, naturally, when things are hard we get upset or even angry and we want to turn the other way, but that's the wrong approach. It is during those times we need to give ourselves chizuk , saying this experience may be from among the main purposes that I came into this world for. Instead of turning the other way, I need to redouble my efforts in getting closer to Hashem. This is what will make a person great and if it is extremely hard to do, it just means that there's even more of an opportunity for greatness to be had. Every time we accept the will of Hashem and continue serving Him happily, we get closer and closer to Him. The purpose is to be able to cling to Him in this world, something called devekut . And the closer we get to Him, the more davuk we are. Although we don't like challenges, we must always remember, if they come, they are a very big part of our existence and we must go through them the way Hashem wants us to in order to fulfill our purpose here.

Welcome to the Simply Straight Talk Podcast with your host Reggie. What are your expectations from your partner to fulfill your needs in life? Do you find yourself seeking fulfillment from your partner rather than within?  First, we need to understand the difference between physical and emotional needs. The idea of being someone's everything in life or the one who completes them resembles a fairytale story. It strikes me as a rather unhealthy and unrealistic expectation in life.  Even if you consider your spouse as your best friend, can you expect them to be your only source of emotional support? Join us in the conversation and share your thoughts. What would your answer be to these questions? Don't forget to visit the Simply Straight Talk website: simplystraighttalk.com

On this episode, I ask you lots of questions and encourage you to reflect: What would you do if you knew you were LOVED? What would you do if you knew you couldn't mess it up? What would you do if you knew every decision you make IS GOING to take you further in fulfilling your purpose? I'll be sharing my breakthroughs from an intentional slow month in July, 2 weeks off social media and finishing The Manifestation Babe Academy, a 5-month coaching program that taught me SO much about myself and my purpose. I also announce a new offer where you get to work with me 1:1 and "pick my brain with integrity". Check out the TEWS VIP Support here: bit.ly/TEWSVIPSupport

Many people are wondering what God's purpose is for their life. Josiah Kennealy is a ministry teammate, and equips thousands of next gen pastors across the country through Young Adults Today. He is passionate about bringing the next generation closer to Jesus. Josiah shares how to be a good steward of the gifts God has given you, getting involved in reaching young people in your own community, and the importance of equipping and encouraging other leaders.

Why are you here?  What are you supposed to be doing with your life?  What is the reason for your existence?  These questions seem aggressive in how they're phrased, but the fact of the matter is we all ask ourselves these questions.  As they grow, your mentee is asking themself these questions too.  So how do we help them discover their purpose in life?  Zach is back with John Barnard from Middleman Ministries this week to share about the second of the three pillars of mentoring: purpose, and how you can help your mentee discover their vision, skills, and action steps to live out their calling.Reach out to John:john@middleman-ministries.orgCheck out Middleman Ministries:https://www.middleman-ministries.orgPurchase the You Can Mentor book:  You Can Mentor: How to Impact Your Community, Fulfill the Great Commission, and Break Generational Cursesyoucanmentor.com

Jesus upholds all of the Old Testament (v 17-18) Jesus fulfills all of the Old Testament (v 17-18) Jesus teaches that we must not neglect even the least command (v 19) Jesus teaches that our practical righteousness must exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees (v 20) You can watch the message here.

Do you feel like you've come to the end of yourself, and done everything in your power to change an area in your life?   Like all the striving and hard work isn't fulfilling your soul or leading you to the spiritual victory you seek?   Have you considered fasting for spiritual growth as a tool to get closer to God and make real lasting changes?   In my personal experience, fasting for God is a way to rest and accomplish. I know that sounds so different from our cultural and worldly thinking of constantly “doing”, but this often ignored and underused spiritual discipline can make all the difference in your life.   Welcome to episode 35 of Fit Christian Woman! In this episode, I'm reflecting on all the benefits I've uncovered about how to fast for God, why do people fast, fasting and praying scripture, and what happens spiritually when you fast.   Also, I'm sharing my personal story about fasting for deliverance from disordered eating, and how the process fixed my warped thinking about food and offered emotional and spiritual healing that changed me forever.   When you come to Christ, everything overhauls in your life. It's ultimately for the good, but sometimes it can look a little ugly and messy. But, with willing obedience, you get closer to God, and give Him permission to do great works in your life.  Let's do this!   Kelsey Love the show?
