Using Our Gifts: How (and Why) to Serve | Janice Brandes and Megan Twadell May 25, 2023

Show notes

What is the purpose of serving and why does the Bible emphasize it to us? Change comes from serving. 1 Peter 4:10 tells us, “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” But sometimes it can be hard to know exactly what our gifts are or what God has called us to do. A good way to begin to understand your gifts and to know how God wants to use you is by serving others. Our guests today, Janice Brandes and Megan Twadell are here to share more about the changes that happen when we begin to serve and what effects it can have on ourselves and others.

God and Your To-Do List: How to Disentangle Your Life's Priorities | Jen Pollock Michel Apr 06, 2023

Show notes

Time management today is a hot topic. We are all so busy trying to fit everything we can into our day, that time management has become a big industry. There are countless books, podcasts, and other resources that tell us how to get more done in less time which can sometimes cause us even more anxiety. But what if we view the idea of efficiency through God’s perspective? Would we get the same answers to the dilemma of managing a fast-paced life with a mile-long to-do list? Our guest today, Jen Pollock Michel, author of the book, In Good Time: 8 Habits for Reimagining Productivity, Resisting Hurry, and Practicing Peace, is here to talk about how our primary call as Christians is not to practice habits of productivity but to practice habits of fruitfulness that lead us into faithfulness to God and others.

Trials and tribulations are oftentimes necessary in order for us to grow and mature into whom God created us to be. Our guest today, Mila Grigg, author of the book, Forged by Fire: How to Develop an Unstoppable Personal Brand, is a true testament to walking through trials and with God’s grace and coming out on the other side more resilient with a stronger faith that can truly make beauty from ashes.
