Life! On Purpose!

Are you living life in a lazy fashion? Do you just react to life as it comes or are you involved in making it all you can? To quote our first Life! On Purpose! book review, “It is dangerous to be alive and not know why you were given life!”

The question of the centuries is, why is evil in the world. This seems like such a complicated question, but in reality, it has a very simple answer. What is complicated is why human kind does not embrace the answer.

What does it mean to have a Biblical worldview? In this episode we discuss basic principles of Scripture which can guide our lives and the decisions we make. Of course, we take a few unexpected twists and turns.

We had a great direction planned, but when the record button was clicked, a hard turn was in store. Is it morbid to speak of death or the realities of life? Should we not be the ones providing answers instead of just acting like all is good? 

Can we boil life down to a very basic formula? The answer is, yes! In the end, you will find a destination based on your choice. If this is true, a person would do well to live life with more purpose than chance.

Our lives did not begin with us and they do not end with us. We were given gifts, good and or bad to begin our lives and we leave gifts, good or bad for others. We do actually have a say so in the gifts we will leave. Just how engaged will we be in that?

There are three choices you will make in life that will be of greatest importance. One choice has eternal consequences. The other two will follow you every day of your life. On this podcast we look at how to choose what you will do in life. What should be the motivations? Is is all about money or even about money?

How do you separate yourself from the crowd today? Live a life with directed passion! Who should that passion be directed after? 

How do we instill hope to our children, grandchildren and everyone we come in contact with? We go to a child’s fairy tale for the answers. 

The Creator loves to play hide and seek. He hides things and then asks us not to seek the thing or the person, but seek Him. As we seek Him He then reveals what was hidden. Are we willing to be all in with the game?

It is a big jump from grandparent to childhood, but we take the leap. None of us were raised by perfect parents. How do we deal with issues of our past so they do not effect our present and future? What is forgiveness?

Alex takes the lead and asks Mike unrehearsed questions of life. First on the list is that of being a grandparent. May seem like a strange place to begin, but the end result was filled with twist and turns that were pretty unexpected.

One of the most misunderstood aspects of our lives is the greatest aspect of our lives. It is hard to imagine that a perfect God would desire to spend time with imperfect humans. What are the challenges to prayer? Why is it so difficult at times? Why is it not a priority? 

The Creator knows us better than we know ourselves. He knows our faults, failures and sins. In spite of this, He desires to spend time with us. In fact, He has been waiting some 6000 years to spend time with you. Are you going to make Him wait longer?

Who are you is a great question. Who are you becoming is a better question? The person you are becoming is being determined by decisions you make on a daily basis. On top of the decision list should be, “Who and what am I allowing to speak into my life?”

We are back! Join Mike and guest host Alex Stiles as they discuss the realities of embracing life when others are trying to escape it. Living by purpose may not bring happiness, but it does bring a reason to keep walking.

We all go through times in which we can not understand what is happening to us. This was true in the life of Job and many others. What do we do in those time? How should we react? What words should come forth from our inward being?

The Spring feast are almost upon us Are you planning to just show up or will you “Show Up?” Messiah was intentional and engaged regarding our redemption. Are we to Him?

We had a great program planned, but then the record button was clicked. Fasten your seat belts. It was a wild ride!

Now that we have your attention. No, the Bible does not work for a person who does not seek to understand it, apply it and then activate it through their change of life. For those who will do these actions though, it is life defining.

No matter our stage in life, we should be looking to those who can guide our lives and to those we can guide. How do we find those people? What are the guidelines? Are the people permeant or for seasons?

What does it take to become a man of Yah? It is a lifetime process which begins with a choice. Is this a podcast only for young men? Absolutely not! The principals discussed on this program can cause women to not make a mistake of a lifetime.

An experiment with mice over 45 years ago gives us insight into life today. Will we follow the path of the mice to destruction or rise above them? We have been given a choice. The question is, what will be our outcome when our choice has become our decision? https://sciencehistory.org/stories/magazine/mouse-heaven-or-mouse-hell/

If you do not fight for the right thing, you may find yourself fighting for the wrong thing. Learning to stay in the right fight is crucial.

What does conviction look like? The war and events in Israel give us insight into that question. If you are not willing to die for something you may want to ask if it is worth living for!
