According to a recent Business Insider study, the average iPhone user reaches for their phone 2,616 times per day.

That’s A LOT.

In case you’ve missed it, over the past few weeks in our First15 Podcast Conversations we’ve been talking about how to live intentionally in every area of our lives.

Today, we’re talking about what I think is the biggest obstacle to our success… media consumption.

You may be thinking I’m going to tell you that social media is evil, but that’s not the case. But I do think that media, in general, is designed to capture our attention, and will take over as much space as we allow in our lives.

I hope you’ll join me, Rachel, and Josh as we each share the unique boundaries we have set up for our media consumption, as well as the tips we share for maintaining a healthy media relationship in your own life!

Surrender Feb 24, 2021

Show notes

Fullness of life and surrender are inextricably linked. As we begin to wrap up our week on diving into the fullness of life, today we’ll explore the concept of surrendering to Jesus. May you be encouraged instead of burdened and take whatever next steps necessary to give Jesus your all.

Our Scripture for today comes from Matthew 10:39, and today's worship is Find Me by Jonathan & Melissa Helser.

Do you ever feel like life just happens to you?

Instead of choosing the things that fill your day, does life always somehow sweep you up into its endless flow of expectations and obligations?

If so, there’s a better way! It’s called a Rule of Life, and Craig Denison has written a new book about creating your own Rule of Life called Living Intentionally. We’d love to put a copy in your hands to say thanks for your donation to help more people experience God the first 15 minutes of their day.

Are you standing on sinking sand? Or do you feel the ground firm beneath your feet? Assess your heart in this moment. Are you living in fear? Are you shaken as things appear to be falling apart?

Acknowledging Our Need Feb 21, 2021

Show notes

As we dive deeper into the fullness of life available to us this week, looking at the concept of acknowledging our need for God is essential. We will never taste the fullness of God’s sufficient grace until we learn to live low, acknowledging our need and weakness before the Lord. So many of us are fearful of appearing weak and work our fingers to the bone to feel sufficient within ourselves. The only path to true power and freedom comes through embracing our need and lack. May you experience that freedom and strength from God today.

Our Scripture for today comes from Psalm 72:26, and today's worship is Come Now by Mack Brock.

Honesty Before Man Feb 20, 2021

Show notes

As we continue to dive deeper into the fullness of life available to us, today we’ll explore what it means to live honestly before man. In a world of facades and striving, God wants to offer us freedom and confidence to be fully who he has made us to be. May you learn to value to honesty above all else in dealing with those around you and find joy and peace abundant.

Our Scripture for today comes from 2 Corinthians 8:21, and today's worship is Kyrie Eleison by Vineyard Worship.

Honesty Before God Feb 19, 2021

Show notes

God’s goodness over our lives far exceeds anything we’ve experienced. We’ve only yet splashed around in the shallows of God’s deep love and mercy. In order to dive deeper into the fullness of life available to us, we must learn how to posture our hearts. May your relationship with God be enriched this week as you position yourself to receive all your loving heavenly Father has to give.

Our Scripture for today comes from Hebrews 4:13, and today's worship is If I'm Honest by Megan Brown.

Yes, relationships are hard.

But healthy relationships are also an important part of a healthy and thriving life.

So in today’s First15 Podcast Conversations, we’re continuing our series on how to live intentionally in every area of our life, and today’s focus is relationships.

So if I may, let me ask you a few questions…

How are your relationships doing?
If you’re married, how’s that going?
If you’re a parent, how is your relationship with your children?
How are your friendships?

Honestly, these answers can vary wildly for me depending on the day. But today, Rachel, Josh, and I are opening up about where we’ve struggled, where we’ve grown, and how we are working towards health in each of these areas.

Freedom in the Light Feb 17, 2021

Show notes

As we near the end of our week on honesty, today we’re going to discover together how there is freedom in the light. Any part of our lives in which we’re walking in darkness, living isolated and unknown, makes space for our hearts to be chained to thoughts and temptations God wants to set us free from. So may the Spirit lead us into the light today, and may we find the courage to follow him.

Our Scripture for today comes from Isaiah 42:16, and today's worship is O Come To The Altar by Elevation Worship.
