If your life were a movie, what would the audience be screaming for you to do right now?

Let’s talk about it.

What do you do when forgiving others isn’t enough to secure your emotional healing?

Let’s talk about it.

We all have talents and abilities, but it’s important to guard against thinking our own might and power are all we need when trouble comes. In this week’s podcast, we examine the words of Zechariah, the prophet.

“So he answered and said to me: “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts.”

Zechariah 4:6 NKJV

Many organizations, including churches, tend to develop a culture comprised of unspoken practices, rules, and paradigms that are not to be questioned. But God gave us a mind, equipped with the ability to know his word for ourselves and to think through situations. We shouldn’t turn a blind eye to that which contradicts God’s ways.

Lee and Amy discuss what C.S. Lewis had to say about being engulfed in the news of the day, particularly as stated in the quote below:

"It is one of the evils of rapid diffusion of news that the sorrows of all the world come to us every morning. I think each village was meant to feel pity for its own sick and poor whom it can help and I doubt if it is the duty of any private person to fix his mind on ills which he cannot help. (This may even become an escape from the works of charity we really can do to those we know). A great many people do now seem to think that the mere state of being worried is in itself meritorious. I don’t think it is. We must, if it so happens, give our lives for others: but even while we’re doing it, I think we’re meant to enjoy Our Lord and, in Him, our friends, our food, our sleep, our jokes, and the birds song and the frosty sunrise." - C.S. Lewis

The earth belongs to the Lord, but according to Psalm 115:16, God has entrusted humans with its stewardship. What is our responsibility as overseers of earth?

There are often simple, practical solutions to everyday problems. While many of life’s troubles can’t be remedied with simple solutions, Lee and Amy discuss scenarios where solutions are available if applied.

We tend to read scripture through a Western lens, based on doctrine as it has been presented to us, through our own logical mindset, or some combination of both. On this episode, we explore scriptures that are often overlooked but have a lot to say about God, family, and our interaction with the spirit realm.
