    265. Making Peace With What I Can't Control -- Book Recommendation

    Would you say that you are a controlling person? I know-- it is a hard question. If I am really honest, I would say that I have struggled with control many year of my life. I feel like I have made some progress with this back in 2023, when I chose the word, surrender, for the year. I was trying to release everything to the Lord, and I thought I was making some head way until I read Lysa's new book, *Making Peace with What I Can't Control. The sub- title is Find Relief From the Exhaustion of Overthinking, Trying to Fix Others, and Wanting to Figure It All Out. Then, I realized I have some much more work to do. This book has been so eye-opening, and I am excited to share with you some of my favorite chapters. There is so much truth in this book, but I want to dive deeper into some of the Aha moments I had while reading this book. Again, I promise you will be encouraged by the truth in Lysa's book. Important Links: I had the privilege of interviewing Lysa for her book, *It's Not Supposed To Be This Way back in 2020. Here is a link to our conversation-- Depth Podcast Episode 29.

    258. Contentment Challenge -- Jodi Snowdon

    Do you struggle with complaining? If you asked me a couple months ago, I would have said no, but recently our church did a study on the book of Numbers, and the Israelites are always complaining in this book of the Bible. Our Pastor has done two messages on complaining (link are below), and I now realize that I have a complaining problem. So instead of recommending a book like I usually do, today, I am going to recommend a book of the Bible: Numbers. I am also going to encourage you to join me in a Contentment Challenge to combat the complaining. You cannot complain and be grateful at the same time!  It is awesome how God led me to Melissa Spoelstra's Contentment Project through another author, Barb Roose's Loaves and Fishes email series. I share all about this on the podcast episode this week! So, I want to invite you to listen, grab a bracelet and join me in practicing contentment and gratitude instead of complaining and grumbling. Important Links: Mariners Church Series on Numbers: First message: The Not-Little Sin of Complaining - Eric Geiger | Mariners Church Second message: The Cure for Our Rebellion - Eric Geiger | Mariners Church Both Barb and Melissa have been guests on the Depth Podcast so I want to share links to their podcast episodes: Depth Podcast Episode 121 with Melissa Spoelstra about her Bible Study, *The Names of God.
