On today’s podcast, we’re talking about free will and how the choice to change our lives is up to us. During Holy Week, it’s important to reflect on how Jesus did the work to save us by dying on the Cross, but we are not called to be passive observers. Instead, we are challenged to demonstrate our belief in Him through our thoughts and actions.

Many of us say we want to quit drinking, doing drugs or watching porn, but we need the numbness that accompanies these habits. Well, Jesus isn’t interested in our excuses, he’s interested in our salvation.

In the podcast we’ll learn that:

• Jesus loves us unconditionally and wants us to be well
• We should reflect on repeated sins and unroot the causes
• Jesus offers us a new life, but He will not choose it for us

Today we’re talking about the pitfalls of overcommitment. Overcommitment begins with the best of intentions: coaching our kids’ teams, being the go-to guy at work, leading volunteer committees at church or racking up hours at the local food bank. Soon enough our busy schedules sink us to a level of distraction that steals our joy and depletes us of peaceful time with God, family, and friends.

On this podcast we’ll learn that:

• Overcommitment leads to feelings of anxiety and resentfulness
• Our devotion for Jesus is not proven by a long list of volunteer and church duties
• It’s important to take an inventory of where we can best use our gifts, instead of spreading ourselves too thin

Today on the podcast we’re talking about insecurity. When we feel like we’re “not enough,” we start comparing ourselves to other people—and that’s where things get dangerous.

In this podcast you’ll learn that:

• When we feel insecure we try to cover it by overstating ourselves
• Our insecurities lead us to judge others to make ourselves feel better
• Often what we don’t like about another person is something we project onto them.
