Quotes Mentioned:

Stuart Briscoe- "The Christian life is more like a freeway than a tightrope. There's plenty of room to crash, bump up against a fence, right the car and continue on the way, a little bruised but sadder and wiser."

Stuart Briscoe- "This is different from feelings. The Holy Spirit does not come into our lives to do his deepest work in the shallowest part of us, which is our emotions. He comes to do his illuminating work in the deepest part of us which is our knowledge- our convictions."

Chuck Swindoll- "God's heavenly plan doesn't always make earthly sense."

TJ Bach- "Where God has put a period, don't change it to a question mark."

Often transitions in life can spring discontentment; moves, new babies, a difficult work situation, or hard things with kids. Sometimes it starts from comparison- if I just had her ability to eat whatever she wants and stay thin or just had that talent he has, I would be happy. In so many ways, our society breeds discontentment.
But really, so much of our discontent stems from unmet expectations in life and a lack of gratitude for what we do have. Join us today as we chat about the secret of contentment.

So many areas of our lives can cause us to feel tired, drained and sometimes down right exhausted.  Being weary is part of every human’s experience. Whether you are a student, a working adult, a young parent, or a well-seasoned Grandparent, you have faced the feeling of being spent and drained.  In today’s episode, we are going to chat about how we can keep from becoming bone-tired in doing good.  In Galatians 6:9 Paul writes, Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.  Join us as we discuss what Paul meant in Galatians 6:7-9 and how we can heed its advice.
