The Daily Saint Podcast Mike St. Pierre

In this cast we outline 6 practical ways to bring gratitude into your daily life. From journaling to saying thank you to praying out loud- all are ways to be more grateful.

In this cast we discuss the role of a "faith experiment" in order to produce lasting results.  While my experiment was not intentional, I outline three ways that you can design your own process of being stretched by God.  



An experiment of faith is essentially a test that you put yourself through in order to grow in your faith.  Similar to the monks who push their bodies and minds to the limit, a faith experiment is a simple way to grow in your faith.

In this cast we follow up the post I wrote called Here's a Method for Working From Home When You Have Kids. If you are like me, you have to occasionally take work home with you.  This isn't a big deal if you live by yourself but if you are married or have kids, dividing your energy and time could become a problem.  



This cast will show you how to add some slight adjustments to how you work from home so that your peeps don't get made at you and you don't fall behind in your work.

In this cast we discuss the iPad and how I use it to get things done.  It seems like every other day we hear of a new Apple story, whether it's a new product or the amazing value of their stock.  The real question is this: does an iPad help you get the right things done on a daily basis?  



Enjoy the cast!
