We are discussing on today's podcast what God’s Word has to say about our anxiousness and worry. We’ve been working through the book of Matthew at church and have been in the Sermon on the Mount for quite a few months now. I’ve been utilizing D. Martin Lloyd Jones sermon series to read along with the scriptures as I prepare for Sunday mornings. It’s a great resource, and it’s called Studies in the Sermon on the Mount. One thing Pastor Ross shared about this text (Matthew 6:25-34) and ... continue reading...

Podcast Ep. 23: Seasons of Waiting

Podcast Ep. 21: The Routines of the Day: Making the Most of Your Morning and Evenings
I find comfort in the routines of the day. We all have areas of our lives that need to be taken care of on a daily basis. Having routines set in your day can make the whole day run smoothly, and those routines tend to become habits over time. I am such an advocate of having a morning and evening routine because they have helped to simplify and make my days run smoothly for over 25 years now. Starting your day with focus and structure does help you to maintain some order and not have a day ... continue reading...
