Podcasts about how to eat an elephant

Have you ever heard the phrase, “How do you eat an elephant?” The the corresponding answer…”One bite at a time?” It is a metaphor relating to something that is so big, it can’t be easily done or at one time. Therefore, you start with a bite at a time. It is like a big 16" pizza. If you keep working on it, a bite at a time, you can probably finish it. You might be sick afterwards, but it could work and the pizza would be consumed. Jesus was with his disciples and a man brought his son that had been sick, to Jesus. The boy had seizures and fell into the fire and water. The man said that the disciples tried to heal the son but couldn’t. Jesus was able to do what the disciples couldn’t. Jesus was still working with them. He tells them if they had enough faith they could move mountains. At the end of this story, Jesus tells the disciples that nothing would be impossible for them. But how do you get there? This message will give you some biblical steps on how to move the mountains in your life. I promise you that, if you have a mountain that needs moving and you do nothing, it will be there tomorrow.
