    Enough Seats for Everyone (The Importance of Gathering) - Week 1 - CARPOOL: The Life We Were Meant to Live

    Enough Seats for Everyone (The Importance of Gathering) - Week 1 - CARPOOL: The Life We Were Meant to Live

    Making room for and compromising with other people can be uncomfortable and annoying. Which is why a lot of us would rather go it alone. We drive alone, eat alone, and binge our shows alone. The catch is: doing so much alone is…lonely. We all want to find people we just click with—people who share our interests, opinions, and preferences. In other words, people just like us. Is that so bad? Doesn’t God want us to have meaningful relationships? If so, how come so many of us feel unwanted and disconnected? What if we’re missing the kind of connections we long for because they’re inconvenient and too much work? What if the relationships we need come from building community with those who are nothing like us as opposed to magically finding those who are? If that were true, what would we do about it?

    "How we’re unintentionally reinforcing materialism in ourselves (and our kids) and how to stop." - Week 3 - THE OPPOSITE OF SPOILED: Practical Money Conversations Everyone Needs to Have

    "How we’re unintentionally reinforcing materialism in ourselves (and our kids) and how to stop." - Week 3 - THE OPPOSITE OF SPOILED: Practical Money Conversations Everyone Needs to Have

    So much of what we think we need is dictated by what those around us have. We feel the pressure to keep up with and occasionally one-up our neighbors. But social media has expanded our community of comparison to everyone in existence. Which is a little overwhelming. Why is so much of our self-worth tied to what we have, and why do even those who have a lot often feel worthless? How do we break our addiction to more? And how do we teach our kids there’s more to life than having the best stuff?

    "Why sorting your money into 3 categories is game-changing and why most of us don’t do it" - Week 2 - THE OPPOSITE OF SPOILED: Practical Money Conversations Everyone Needs to Have

    "Why sorting your money into 3 categories is game-changing and why most of us don’t do it" - Week 2 - THE OPPOSITE OF SPOILED: Practical Money Conversations Everyone Needs to Have

    Statistically, most Americans live paycheck to paycheck, barely making ends meet regardless of how much they make. It’s easier to make money than to make a plan for your money. We tend to just spend what we get on whatever we need in the moment, not realizing that some of our needs may just be wants in disguise. How can you tell the difference? Is it the same for everybody? Is it even realistic to stick to a budget in a modern age? If so, how?

    "What your spending says about you and why you’re better off talking openly about it" - Week 1 - THE OPPOSITE OF SPOILED: Practical Money Conversations Everyone Needs to Have

    "What your spending says about you and why you’re better off talking openly about it" - Week 1 - THE OPPOSITE OF SPOILED: Practical Money Conversations Everyone Needs to Have

    Most families don’t talk about money, especially to their kids. Which is a shame because money is a big part of life. A lot of us leave home without much of a financial compass. What we do know we’ve cobbled together from peers, commercials, and social media. Most of that advice leads us to crave what we don’t have and spend what we haven’t earned. Few people have taken time to think about their philosophy of money, but Jesus talked a lot about just that. He seemed to think the way you spend has a lot to do with what you value and that you could redirect your values with the way you handle your money.

    OVERHAULED - Week 4 - SUBTRACTION: Accomplish More by Doing Less

    OVERHAULED - Week 4 - SUBTRACTION: Accomplish More by Doing Less

    Getting started with something new is tough enough but sustaining a habit long-term is even harder. To create lasting life-change, make what’s important easy to do, and what’s unimportant hard to do. So, how do you do that?

    OVERBOOKED - Week 3 - SUBTRACTION: Accomplish More by Doing Less

    OVERBOOKED - Week 3 - SUBTRACTION: Accomplish More by Doing Less

    It’s not enough to know what’s most important; you have to say no to what’s not. Most of us are aware we should say no, and maybe even what or who we should say no to. But we’re nervous about the repercussions. So, how do we courageously navigate no with the least amount of collateral damage?
