Send me a one-way text about this episode! I'll give you a shout out or answer your question on a future episode.I realize for some believers this holiday is off limits due to their past and or their conscience before the Lord. I respect that because, while we all have freedom in Christ, each one of us should do as the Holy Spirit directs us. If that's you, feel free to skip this episode.For those of you who are on the fence or haven't really considered how Christians should think about Halloween, I'd like to present one perspective in today's episode. Is this really "the devil's day" and are we violating scripture by handing out candy? It is my prayer that this episode will encourage you to fear not, but rather seek the Lord's will for your family's participation (or not) in Halloween. I am also giving some practical suggestions for fun couples and family costumes as well as my (new) favorite fall candies.

Longing for More? With Kelly Needham, author, and podcaster What if the more we crave is not something we achieve but is something we receive? Are you longing for more? Do you ponder your purpose? Listen in as Charlotte talks with author Kelly Needham about how we need to not be purposefooled. We hear that we were made for more. Yet our modern understanding of what it means to live a meaningful life can feel like a burden, not a dream. Kelly Needham explains the problem isn't that we long for something more. The problem is what we believe “something more” is. We spend our lives chasing the verbs when we were meant to live for the Noun. Kelly offers insights into: why our hearts long for a sense of purpose what the Bible says about true world-changers how to seek true greatness while embracing the ordinary how resting can accomplish more than producing & more As we recognize the source of our hunger for the extraordinary, we can more forward in freedom rather than feeling stuck in guilt or disappointment. We can discover how to build a purpose-filled reality without being purposefooled. Let's embrace the joy today that we always assumed was somewhere down the road. Thanks for tuning in! Your time is valuable, and we appreciate your sharing it with us. To reach Kelly: Jimmy and Kelly To reach Charlotte: https://charlotteguest.com

In today's episode Somer and Kelly discuss how easy it is to become purposefooled. Even before the rise of social media which has exponentially impacted this problem, humans have sought after glory for themselves and the extraordinary, as Kelly describes with the Tower of Babal story. We often seek to make ourselves the saviors, the heroes, of the story, instead of giving everything to God. We will run ourselves ragged, wheels constantly spinning, doing all the things, because the mundane and ordinary don't feel like enough. God is meant to be our purpose in life, not the titles we possess or the activities we do. Thanks for coming to the Love Where You Are podcast!

Chase your dreams. Find your calling. Reach for greatness. The younger generation has heard those phrases a lot, but Kelly Needham has raised a caution flag. Could it be that the focus on doing something great with your life can keep you from pursuing Someone great? Have we been purposefooled? Talk about it on Chris Fabry Live.
Kelly Needham challenges us to keep our purpose and identity attached, not to our performance, but to the Person of Jesus Christ.
