Am I Walking in my Purpose? (Part 2)

We Are Back!

Hey Everyone! It has been more than a minute since you have heard us. Today we are back with a little update, a few changes, and a bit of backtracking to discuss some of the barriers to being consistent. On this episode as we talk about our struggle in maintaining this podcast to highlight a bigger issue of being consistent and faithful with the tasks that we have been given from God.  Key takeaways:  * For lack of knowledge the people parish, and so do ideas.  * Having a plan matters. When we get the vision right it down.  * The opportunity of a lifetime lives within the lifespan of an opportunity.  * Reframing "failure". A struggle is a part of the process in progressing.  Scripture says that  “If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won’t be honest with greater responsibilities" Luke 10:16 (NLT). One day I want you to hear a "well done good and faithful servant" from the Lord, and the people, places he's brought you to serve. That could be a podcast, school, or workplace. Whatever that may be- be encouraged to work hard to do well. not for wealth, or yourself, but because you are branded with the name of Jesus.  How many of us ask for more, when we struggle to do well with what we have already been giving? Today we are reminded that every opportunity, blessing, idea, or relationship that God gives you, comes with a charge to care for that thing. Let our lacks give you a lesson on how to strive to come back.  As we mentioned, Claire is still living life and producing content for the kingdom elsewhere.
