God on the Go by AllMomDoes

God is so much bigger than our human lives. He exists and exists and exists. We're never in this lifetime going to get to know every single thing about Him, but there are things that He tells us about that we can know, and this is where I want to start... God is love.

Hey friend, I'm Julie Lyles Carr. I'm the host of God on the Go, part of the Purposely Podcast Network and I'm getting ready to go on summer break to one of my very favorite places, and I hope that's what you're getting to do this summer as well. I was thinking about this verse from Psalm 74 verse 17. It was you, God, who set all the boundaries of the earth you made both summer and winter. And in...

Focusing on what truly matters in life and avoiding distractions from minor details is a WIN in my book. I hosted a gathering where I got caught up in insignificant issues instead of seeing the importance of quality time together. Perfection is a tough cookie. Work at prioritizing the important aspects of your life, and don't get sidetracked by fluff. Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4dEWIMO

Get ready as we travel back in time on a cross-country move my family made when I was a kid. We went from Pennsylvania to California, complete with a stop at the Grand Canyon. Catch this though, I had a "rabbit obsession" that totally derailed my attention from the tour guide and the amazing beauty around me. With that said though, this hiccup led me to an epiphany about the power of awe. That fee...

If you're feeling bored and uninspired, it's time to shake things up! Boredom is actually an opportunity for creativity. Take a cue from the journey of the Hebrews from Egypt to embrace boredom as a chance to think differently and try new things, rather than complaining. Contentment, even in boredom, is a great gain.
