    Where Your Treasure Is

    Today on the podcast we have another fable from Aesop about stewardship along with a parable from the gospel of Matthew. This episode is about money, and ultimately it is about what we value in life and how what we value will drive the way we live.

    Kindness Over Severity

    In today's episode, we'll talk about kindness amidst anger. How do we bring kindness into the assumptions we make about each other? We'll dig into another fable from Aesop and a couple scriptures to help us explore this question, and we'll also discuss another question that is extremely helpful in determining if our feelings are appropriate for the situation.

    Approval is Not Love

    Approval is not love. If it was, it would be unloving for me to tell you if I disapproved of something you’ve done. Love desires God’s absolute best for others at all times. We'll explore this further along with some scripture in today's episode!

    Cherish The Wise

    Over the past couple of weeks, we've talked about what can happen when we don't seek the truth. First, we looked at a man who was seeking approval or acceptance from others. He gave in to every criticism he received, causing him to become completely insecure and unstable. He failed to take responsibility for his life, his choices, and the people and things he was supposed to care for. In short, he was a poor steward. Next, we discussed Icarus and his father, Daedalus. Icarus ignored his father's warning and arrogantly chose pleasure instead, which led to his death. Today, we're going to delve deeper into what happens when the wise are ignored. And I have a tale for you from the Brothers Grimm that I think you'll recognize.

    The Way of a Fool is Right in His Own Eyes

    "Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid." Proverbs 12:1 Today I want to talk about the consequences of not listening to wise counsel. We'll dig into the tale of Icarus and Daedalus - as told by Josephine Preston Peabody. The 4 questions referenced in this episode that can be used to better understand something: What is it?

    The What, Why, and Cry

    This episode is about developing a logical process to help us reason through difficult and painful things. I like to sit down and ask questions like, what am I feeling? Why am I feeling it? This is just the start, but so much can be discovered by asking these simple questions.
