What is the biblical purpose of marriage? Is marriage meant for happiness and companionship, or something more?In this episode of the One Degree Podcast, we walk through Ephesians 5 and Genesis 2 to explore what it looks like to not waste your marriage. We unpack servant leadership, biblical submission, and why Scripture calls you to focus on becoming a better spouse rather than wishing for a different one.Ultimately, marriage isn't just about having a healthy relationship. It's about becoming faithful followers of Jesus who live on mission together and make disciples... starting in your home.RESOURCES MENTIONED:Don't Waste Your Life by John PiperConnect with us on Instagram!Grab your Weekly Marriage Meeting Journal

A few weeks ago, a pastor friend reached out to Pastor Zac asking what his go-to book recommendations were for new Christians, and this question got him thinking. Books are an important part of discipleship for many Christians, and so in this week's episode we take some time to reflect on what books we'd recommend for getting to grips with Christianity depending on various considerations (age, maturity level, spiritual needs, etc.). This will be a helpful episode for anyone looking for good books to start with, or for anyone looking for good books to recommend to new Christians in their church. Below is a list of the books we mention in the episode, as well as some volumes we didn't get around to: Don't Waste Your Life by John Piper Be Thou My Vision (Jonathan Gibson) The Biggest Story Bible Storybook (Kevin DeYoung) 10 Questions Every Teen Should Ask (and Answer) about the Christian Faith (Rebecca McLaughlin) Letters to A Young Disciple (Brad East) Core Christianity and/or Pilgrim Theology (Michael Horton) Guidebook for Instruction in the Christian Religion (Herman Bavinck) Theology: The Basics (Allister McGrath) Growing in Christ and/or Knowing God (JI Packer) Everyone's A Theologian (RC Sproul) Basic Christianity (John Stott)  The Reason for God (Tim Keller) How to Have Real Joy (Charles Spurgeon) The Sacrifice of Praise (Herman Bavinck) Life Together (Dietrich Boenhoffer) Taking God at His Word (Kevin De Young) Gentle & Lowly (Dane Ortlund) Visit www.almondvalley.org for information about Almond Valley Christian Reformed Church in Ripon, CA.

Do you ever feel like you're behind on the life you're trying to build, despite constantly being busy? I sat down with Oliver Burkeman, one of the most influential voices on productivity and purpose, to share tools to make more time for the things that genuinely matter so you can do more of what you love to create your dream life. Oliver unpacks the psychology, sharing a radically different productivity approach: embracing your limitations, choosing what matters, and releasing the pressures holding you back.

All of us, at one time or another have missed an opportunity that could have altered our lives, maybe for the better. There are also many famous moments in history that were squandered. Here are just a few: • A Kodak engineer invented the first digital camera, but the company suppressed the technology, fearing it would hurt its “film business”. • The telegraph company Western Union famously rejected Alexander Graham Bell's offer to buy the telephone patent for $100,000, calling the device "idiotic". • A committee of the British Government rejected Thomas Edison's light bulb, stating that it might be “okay for our transatlantic friends…but unworthy of the attention of practical or scientific men.” • Decca Records famously turned down the Beatles after an audition, because one of their executives stated "guitar groups are on the way out". In JESUS' great “End Times” teaching found in Matthew 24 and 25, He employs a Parable to warn His disciples of the eternal tragedy of squandering our lives. This Parable is most often called the “Parable of the Servants & Talents”, and we'll explore its poignant message this Sunday. In this message, Pastor Joe Still leads us to discover together how to “Maximize our Lives” the JESUS Way!

Acts 20 confronts us with a choice: pursue comfort, or follow the Spirit into a life that actually counts. Paul shows us three shifts—Spirit-leadership, sacrificial suffering, and self-denial, calling us to one urgent invitation: don't waste your life.

This sermon was preached by Brendan Willis from Sovereign Grace Church Sydney in Wahroonga, Australia, at Covenant Fellowship Church on November 16, 2025. Series: Non-Series Sunday Scripture: Isaiah 41:10

What does it mean to see work not as a curse but as part of God's original design? In this episode of Christ the Center, Camden Bucey is joined by board member Mark Van Drunen to welcome David L. Bahnsen for a rich conversation about his new book, Full-Time: Work and the Meaning of Life. Bahnsen is the founder, Managing Partner, and Chief Investment Officer of The Bahnsen Group, a private wealth management firm managing more than $4.5 billion in client assets. David is the author of Crisis of Responsibility: Our Cultural Addiction to Blame and How You Can Cure It, The Case for Dividend Growth: Investing in a Post-Crisis World, and There's No Free Lunch, 250 Economic Truths. Mark Van Drunen works in finance and is a ruling elder at Redeemer PCA in Hudson, Ohio. He serves on the Reformed Forum Board of Directors. Together, they explore how a robustly Reformed view of vocation challenges the sacred–secular divide, recovers the dignity of labor, and reorients our understanding of productivity and flourishing. Drawing from Genesis 1, Reformed anthropology, and the legacy of Kuyper, Bahnsen argues that work is not a mere means to consumption or status, but an essential expression of our identity as image-bearers of God. The discussion also addresses pressing contemporary questions—from the pitfalls of “work–life balance” and “follow your passion” mantras, to the theological problems with universal basic income and the cultural obsession with consumption. Listeners will be encouraged to see their daily labor as an act of worship, anticipating the greater work of the new creation secured in Christ. This is a conversation at the intersection of theology, economics, and discipleship—aimed at helping Christians recover a biblically grounded vision for work that fosters maturity in Christ and glorifies God in every sphere of life.

In this video, John Piper opens Galatians 6:14 and proclaims the cross of Christ as the only thing worth boasting in. He calls Christians to live lives shaped by Calvary—where every joy and trial is seen as a blood-bought mercy, and every purpose is surrendered to God's glory. The message is clear: don't waste your life on what won't last.

Ever feel like you're working hard but getting nowhere? You're not alone—and you might be stuck in a productivity trap, not a purpose-driven plan. In this episode of The Stacking Benjamins Show, we tackle the big one: how to avoid wasting your life. (No pressure.) Joe Saul-Sehy kicks things off with a tongue-in-cheek nod to all the ways we fritter away time—before pivoting into a power-packed conversation on building meaningful goals and avoiding common life derailers. He's joined by two all-star minds in money and behavior: Paula Pant from Afford Anything, who reminds us that "you can afford anything—but not everything," and Jordan Grumet from Earn & Invest, who offers the life-and-death perspective (literally—he's a hospice doctor) on why we need to act now, not later. Together with OG and Doug, the roundtable unpacks six common ways people unknowingly waste their lives, including: Being "busy" instead of effective Letting fear of failure hijack your plans Overthinking every move Paralysis from too many choices Constant hustle with no progress Indecision dressed up as careful planning You'll hear hard-earned lessons, subtle mindset shifts, and tips for creating financial and personal momentum. Plus: The surprising link between indecision and regret, backed by Dr. Ellen Langer's research Smart strategies for eliminating distractions and taking better action The difference between motion and movement—especially when it comes to your goals and your money And, of course, we sprinkle in some classic basement banter, a rowdy trivia throwdown, and Joe's favorite kind of weekend preview (the kind where no one actually follows their own advice). Why this episode is worth your time: Whether you're staring down your 2025 goals or still recovering from a rough Q1, this is your shot of clarity. No judgment—just real talk from people who've been there, made the spreadsheet, and occasionally lit it on fire.
