How is our drive for success hindering our walk with God? How is it changing the way we do everyday life? The word "SUCCESS" can be very deceiving, and I have often found a sour filter on how I approach everyday life and, most importantly, in my walk with God. In this podcast, I dive into My Utmost For His Highest by Oswald Chambers and unpack his devotional about this subject.
How often do I find myself struggling to do the things I want to do, but not with the things I don't want to do. There is a war going on within us, our natural sin nature. In this episode, I talk about how I struggle to do the things of value, but will absolutely settle on activities that bring zero value. We have the victory in Jesus, but why is there a struggle? I explore it in this episode.
Well, let me be honest...I struggle to give my finances to the Lord. My reasons and excuses are many but the fact is I am not giving to God what He gave first. In this podcast, I am going to be talking about my giving journey. The Lord says to test me on this, and I have to say that He has shown Himself faithful.
What happens after the mountaintop experience? How does the faith journey continue? Unpacking these things and what I'm learning in my walk with God coming back from the mountain. Walking in my purpose and resting in Him, has been challenging, but so important in my relationship with Jesus.
Well, I am big into John Eldredge and also reading the book Becoming King by Morgan Snyder. I felt God calling me on an adventure to go backpacking through Zion. It was the concepts of these books that led me to the thought, but it did not go as planned. I was not ready for what happened or prepared. It was an adventure that broke my mind, but in the process cleared my mind and renewed my strength in God and leading me to hear his voice and see his beauty and find purpose. All in this episode.
I had enough! Toys everywhere, paper, pens, crayons, books... it's all a mess and it's going away. Let's see how this goes...
Well, I'm back. Because i missed just coming here and speaking from the heart, not having scripts, or having to be on point. But just speaking. I found it was actually relieving to come without an agenda but just the idea to share what I've been going through.
Alrighty gents! This is it the final show for THIS podcast. Take a listen and see where I am going from here. Had some extreme clarity and vision and wanted to share with you what I am excited to be doing (also sad). This podcast has been an amazing time for me and I'm grateful in all of you who have been here and shared this journey with me. Look for me at "The Dad Schooler". Youtube and Podcast coming up and if you would like to connect you can email me at thedadschooler@gmail.com
Real Confidence is not based upon the opinion of others, it is rooted in yourself and in who you know you are. Is that it for you? Because it wasn't for me...
Are you feeling like a failure? Feeling the weight of not living up to what you know you can be as a father or husband...Me too...
Well, I am back after a 3-week Hiatus! In this episode I talk about why I was gone and then dive into something that I found was stealing my joy in comparing myself to someone else and how that can ultimately hurt us and not help us if done in the wrong mindset.
Last week I talked about the danger of having expectations on your Father, this time its about the dangers of having expectations on youself.
What happens when we have unmet expectations on our Fathers? In this episode, I talk about how we can hinder our relationship with our Fathers as well as our own journey to healing and moving forward when we have expectations placed on our Father.
Do you have men in your life helping you along the path of manhood? There are soo many obstacles in the path of becoming a better husband, father, man, member of society, etc. It is important that we have someone holding us accountable because ultimately it will help us to get better and grow more. In this episode, I talk about some of the men who are holding me accountable in different areas and what that looks like for me.
Dad you need anger management...words I heard from my children yesterday as I was being pushed to the edge in my patience I Bruce Lee'd a mixing bowl. That's all I have to say about that...in typing I mean, check out the podcast for full disclosure.
So...I have been on this crazy journey that started well before I even read this book. The book is Wild at Heart by John Eldredge and it has been a wild ride to say the least. Instead of going on and on about how I came to this book, your just going to have to listen. Because to be quite honest I don't want to write out a big old bio.
