Join the 4-O-Clock Club! Crystal and I have been getting up early for 5 years consistently. It has set us, our marriage, and our family in such a positive direction.  Though we talked about it in other episodes (Life’s meaning and a Hula Hoop, Meaning and Life’s Currency), we are having a conversation about some reasons why getting up early can be life altering for anyone who tries it.    Find us...

Today Crystal and I talk about some advice that Albert Einstein gave to a friend written inside a bible. His advice was about the bible itself.  Here is the article:  https://www.foxnews.com/science/bible-signed-by-albert-einstein-in-1932-given-to-friend-sells-for-68500-at-auction-in-nyc   Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/twolightspodcast/   Twitter: @Twolightspod Email: TwoLightsPodc...

To see clearly in life is so tricky, due to the sheer volume of information out there. How do you have a true perspective?  To not perceive what is going on around you can be…devastating. It might be the difference between you making it to your destination or disaster.  Crystal and I talk about how an ALERT navigation exercise illustrates this.  What is the light in the dark? What can give you pri...

Our last episode stopped a bit short... Lol It will continue next week!

Crystal and I talk about perspective as we look at it though some recent experiences. How you see things is how you process information. What if what you see is not true. In life, having a warped perspective can alter the truth.

Today Crystal and I talk about how being alone is so tough and in some cases deadly. I was up half the night so my thoughts seemed to go everywhere.  Where does life begin? Just because you are “Living” does that mean it’s worth living for? Suicide is at an epidemic level. However, I think this podcast topic could put a dent in it.  Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/twolightspodcast/  ...

Crystal and I are going to be running a 25K (15 mile) race in May 2020. In order to properly execute this goal well, and without injury, there are some disciplines that should be put into practice prior to the sound of the starting gun on race day. Life is filled with “races” we ought to be training for and running. Marriage, job, kids, and a million other responsibilities of a life are filled wit...

What does it mean to lose yourself? What does the Bible say about this and why is it so important? Find out what Jesus himself said on this topic and learn how we can sort out what it truly means to find or lose who we are.

In physics there is a formula for momentum (Momentum = Mass X Velocity). Crystal and Rob look over a homemade version of this formula that can be applied to life (Life Momentum = Will X Direction). Are there forces in life fighting against forward progress? Maybe a little more determination might do the trick. What is holding you back...you? The Bible gives us real life applications on putting you...

Rob talks about a favorite book and explores the idea of meaning and history with Crystal. What is it about some details that seem comforting? What about too much detail calls out the need for mindfulness on the sky of opportunities. In the Bible John chapter 6 tells us details that reach into eternity. How does that work?

Are ethnic differences going to stop us from knowing each other? Who is contributing to a culture of "stranger danger"? Are there people that are in need around you?  How do you identify with someone that is dangerously needy?  In what way does my responsibility fall to the huge needs around the world and in America? What does the Bible and a relic of Exodus do to open our eyes to our co...

Commanders intent is a military idea. It can help us in the day-to-day to understand “the big picture” as it relates to our responsibilities. Who is commanding your life?
