The Apostle Paul says this as he starts the letter of Colossians: “ … the faith and love that spring from the hope stored up for you in heaven ….”   What if your hope – your confident expectation – was so strong that it served as a springboard from which your faith and your love bounced … catapulted … forward?

In this episode, we continue our series on Men's Mindfulness.  We are in the 721 Ministries studio hosting our episode, and with us is Brian Kadien who host The Blind Samurai podcast.  We are focusing on relationships... and in particular, relationships with men and the struggle men face in building and maintaining relationships with other men.  Join us!

Do you know Jesus? Not about him, but know him? I do, and so can you. This is not some special relationship Jesus reserves for the “Elite few Christians.” No, it is for every follower of Jesus – and that includes you! And with this comes a knowledge of his will. Don’t believe that you can know God’s will.  Stay tuned!

What if I said that if you thought of God as your Heavenly Father and Jesus as your best friend it would change everything about your life? It’s true – so tune in to find out why?

As you move through each day, perhaps just “mowing the lawn,” as CS Lewis observes, do you not sense deep inside there has to be more to life than just keeping the lawn – your life - looking nice?

“If you want things to be different, you have to do things differently.” Today we continue taking a Spiritual Inventory so we can see what or where we want to do things differently, so we can journey deeper into Jesus’ Kingdom.

Don’t you agree that from time to time we would be well-served to take a look at where we are going in life? Perhaps a personal “inventory” of sorts? Today we do just that, but we take a spiritual inventory, to see where we are and are not living the A+ Life to the Full Jesus wants for us.

As we start a new year I believe our goal should be “To get into the 5th gear.” What is this “5th Gear” and what would this look like? It looks like “a calm, relaxed pace which should be characteristic of a child of God.”  But how to? Stay tuned!

In this episode, we have Brian Kadien from The Blind Samarai Podcast as our special guest.  We cover both accounts of the Christmas story...one from the Gospel of Matthew and the other from the Gospel of Luke.

When Jesus finished his Sermon on the Mount, the people were wowed and exclaimed, “This Jesus teaches with an authority we have not heard before!” What was it about the way Jesus taught and talked that was so vastly different from all those rabbis around him? Do you have anyone in your life whom you consider to teach or preach with authority?  Today we ask and answer these and several other questi...

Jesus concludes his Sermon on the Mount with both an encouragement and a warning: “Are you trying to build your life on a rock-solid foundation or have you unwittingly built it on the shifting sands of this culture?

The name of our ministry, 721 Ministries, comes from Jesus’ warning – stark warning – to those who think their good church and civic work is a ticket to heaven. But there will be no resumes on your Judgement Day. Tune in to find out why our ministry is named after this passage!

Jesus warns us to “Watch out for false prophets.” But what would a false prophet look like today? Would they be preaching heretical sermons … or lukewarm … or just uninformed?

Jesus tells us the gate to his wonderful A+ Life to the Full is narrow. And he warns us that the road that leads to a sorrow life is wide and broad. What is on the broad road that makes it so appealing, and why is the gate to  “The Life that is truly life” so narrow?

Did you know that Jesus’ Golden Rule was a reversal of the centuries-old Golden Rule? Previously if was, “Do not do to others what you do not want them to do to you.”  Jesus told us to go from defense to offense by doing to others what we want them to do to and for us.

What comes to your mind when you think of God? In your mind, is he a “Bread and Water” God or a God of lavish gifts and love?  Is he a happy God? Was Jesus a happy man?

When you lose your site, how do you go forward?  And, how does faith play a part in that path forward?  Sam Interviews with Brain Kadien, host of The Blind Samurai Podcast. Take a listen.

When Jesus says, “Ask and you will receive,” is this a carte blanche guarantee?  Or is he assuming his audience would understand a more nuanced meaning?  And – is ‘asking’ what prayer is all about?

What compelled Charlie to do what he did?  Was there something he wanted the college age youth of America to know that he knew they didn’t know – understand correctly?

When Jesus says, “ Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs,” is he calling some people dogs and pigs?? No! Okay, so what is he saying? Sounds very judgmental to me. Tune in to find out!

In our previous video, we examined “What is most important?” from a day-to-day perspective – and created Index cards to guide us. This week we examine “WMI?” from an eternal perspective – with index cards!

If the phrase, “Saying ‘Yes’ to anything means saying ‘No’ to something or someone else, ” is true, where have you said “Yes” to some activity that you now regret? What do you now see that got squeezed out because you said “Yes”? For example:  exercise, time with Jesus, time with your family??

If relationships are the currency of life, then right relationships with your God, with others, and with yourself, are essential for the A+ Life. So, if your relationships aren't an A+, how do you restore them to an A+?

Jesus said he came to give us “Life to the full.” The Holy Spirit, through Paul, talks about “the life that is truly life.”  We call it, “The A+ Life.”  But what does this life look like – and how to know if I am even close to living it?
