Where the Wild Things Aren't Phillip Greene

We are all on a journey in life. Some days its a struggle, but it doesn't mean it has to be difficult. We are instructed throughout the Scripture how we can approach life and find peace in the midst of the struggles. 

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths." - Proverbs 3:5-6

Jesus told us He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6) and there is peace available through Him (Philippians 4:7). Let go of what is holding you back and take hold of His yoke (Matthew 11:28-30).

Have you ever seen the return of the star athlete? The one that everyone wants on the team, but they had to go through a rehab and struggle following an injury? Maybe they came back better...maybe they weren't, but it wasn't their skill, their talent, or even their game that the coach wanted...he just wanted them...

Listen. Take it all in. Just please...hear what I have to say about my current situation, the lessons learned, and the road ahead. I hope and pray that it will bless you in some way!

"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven." - Ecclesiastes 3:1

Due to a couple of unforeseen situations, we had to take a couple weeks off from doing the podcast. We hope to be back soon with some more great shows for you.  Keep praying and keep trusting God! 

Thanks for understanding! Thank you for being a part of Where the Wild Things Aren't!

EPISODE 73: The "WOW" Moment

I don't know what else to call it. That moment that something clicks....that moment that the Scripture speaks to you in a way you have never seen before...

But...

On a deeper level, that moment that God changes the game and shows you He has been working on it since the day you were born...Just listen...

Episode 72: Adverse Reactions

We all deal with adversity in life. The reality is that Jesus told us we would face troubles in this world; and James reminded us that troubles develop our perseverance. The question is: How well are we handling it? 

Looking to a few examples in Scripture, we can see what (and what not) to do when it comes to adversity. We will all face it...but let me remind you, how we handle our adversity might be how God gets through to someone else and draws them to Himself. 

Episode 71 - Submit to What?

"Let everyone be in submission to governing authority..." - Romans 13:1a

In an earlier episode there was discussion out of Romans 13 about submitting to authority...it was followed by questions I received. 

1. What about moral situations?

2. What are we supposed to do if the authority figure is asking us to go against God?

I'll address those and recap what Paul means in Romans 13 and discuss our responsibility as Christians in the midst of trying and difficult times. Just know, it may not be easy, or even desirable, to follow the example of Christ and the Apostles.
