  • On Getting Out of Bed Pt1 with Alan Noble - JL229

    On Getting Out of Bed Pt1 with Alan Noble - JL229
    Nov 25 2024
    We aren't always honest about how difficult normal human life is. In this interview, based on Alan Noble's book we discuss that for the majority of people, sorrow, despair, anxiety, and mental illness are everyday experiences. While we have made tremendous advancements in therapy and psychiatry, the burden of living still comes down to mundane choices that we each must make—like the daily choice to get out of bed. In this deeply personal essay, Alan Noble considers the unique burden of everyday life in the modern world. Sometimes, he writes, the choice to carry on amid great suffering—to simply get out of bed—is itself a powerful witness to the goodness of life, and of God.

    Look for the positive message not hung up on something's that makes you said. Honor your parents-friend shared how he and his wife were caring for his father who was in the early stages of dementia, his only wish not to go in a nursing home “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exod.20.12&version=NIV Stop worrying (verses) "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day its own trouble. Matt.6.34 NKJV Pursue your dreams (don’t stay stuck and feel like a victim, blaming others, make a choice and take complete ownership for that choice) Remember to always seek Gods will and not just ask him to bless your plans. We have a part and he has a part. That gets tricky when we're not hearing an audible voice. "“Come now, you who say, ‘Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit’; whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. Instead you ought to say, ‘If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.’” James 4:13-15 Noteworthy this is from James who also said faith without works is dead, and emphasized our actions not just our beliefs as critical part of faith. Praise: "In the multitude of my anxieties within me,Your comforts delight my soul." Ps.94.19 NKJV

  • Are We Doing Church Wrong with Jason Pierce-JL227

    Are We Doing Church Wrong with Jason Pierce-JL227
    Nov 11 2024
    j316173@hotmail.com For professional management: jrpierc2@uncg.edu You teach classes on having a vision for your life and it struck both of us as we were talking recently that you don’t hear this message about casting a vision for your life, often if ever in the Christian church. Why do you think that is? What are the consequences of this, I.e. how is this lack of direction from church messaging on vision affecting the way we “do” Church as well as the way we as believers live our lives outside the church? How might Christianity be different if this dynamic were to change? Is this Biblical? If not, what does the Bible say about how we should incorporate our faith, into our daily lives ? If a change is needed, what’s the best way to affect that change?
