    Finding God's Presence in Everyday Moments - Ep 46

    In this episode, Erin Anhfeldt and I delve into symbols and symbolism. As an English teacher, Erin often discusses these concepts in the classroom with his students. And at the mention of symbolism, it might evoke a sense of dread. However, Erin believes that symbols, both in literature and in life, have the power to move us deeply. They are tangible representations of abstract ideas, and I think that God uses them powerfully in our lives. Erin opens up a lot when he says, "one of the most profound symbols in my life appeared when my daughter Hope was born. Doctors had told us that we would never be able to have children, making her birth a miraculous event. We named her Hope to remind ourselves to never give up, even when things seem impossible. The day she was born, as I looked at her in the bassinet, I felt overwhelmed by the responsibility of being a good father. In that moment of doubt, I noticed the majestic Pikes Peak through the hospital window and was reminded of Psalm 121: 'I lift my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.' That mountain became a symbol of God's help and presence in my life, reassuring me that I am not alone." Recognizing symbols requires reflection, which can be fostered through journaling, intentional conversations, or simply spending time in quiet contemplation. These practices help us see the sacred in our daily lives and understand that we are part of a larger story written by God. Symbols and themes are woven into our experiences to remind us of His love and guidance. Whether through writing, discussing with friends, or observing our surroundings, we can uncover these meaningful symbols and gain a deeper appreciation of our journey.   (0:00) - Intro (1:17) - Symbolism (8:04) - Recurring symbols (11:30) - "To Kill A Mocking Bird" (13:27) - Spend more time reflecting (18:40) - Discover your story (22:50) - Living symbols (30:16) - "Drawing On The Left Side Of The Brain" (34:50) - God loves symbols (40:27) - Movies (47:27) - Final thoughts (48:50) - Conclusion   Learn more about Erin: www.erinahnfeldt.com.    Apply for coaching: https://www.vaughnkohler.com/coaching    Follow Vaugh on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vaughnkohler/

    Learning To Follow In The Legacy of Love And Intentionality - Ep 45

    In this candid episode, Erin Ahnfeldt and I dive into a deeply personal story about his dad's incredible act of love and faith. With a history of leukemia, Erin's father recently felt compelled to bless his grandchildren, inspired by the biblical story of Jacob blessing his offspring. Despite the logistical challenges, the family miraculously came together, allowing his dad to impart a touching and emotional blessing to his grandchildren. The profound impact of his words showcased the enduring power of intentionality and love in family dynamics. Growing up, Erin's father was a formidable figure, both in physical prowess and character. Now, his strength is exemplified in his unwavering commitment to blessing and encouraging others. As we discuss these moments of intentional blessings and affirmations, we explore how these actions can resonate deeply within families and communities.
