With life being so hectic lately, it has become more and more difficult to make time for this podcast, so I need to take time to examine why. If it's one thing I know, it's that the greatest enemy of the best things in life, are the good things. I see this podcast as a good thing, but is it the best thing I could be doing right now? Perhaps I just need to change the frequency of it, or maybe do something entirely different? Hopefully, I will have the clarity I need soon. Whatever the next step is, I trust that God will steer me in the right direction.

Thank you for your support, and if you could pray for me about this, I would greatly appreciate it. God bless!

This week, I want to ask you a very important question..... Does your testimony have value? Do you live in such a way, as to give people a reason to consider the reality of Christ? Let's focus on this important component of the Christian life together.

This week, I want to focus on our responsibility to consider the potential cost of exercising our freedoms, as they might very well hinder our influence for Christ.

As I continue to discuss the need to surrender, one of the most important challenges we face, is surrendering our need, to prove our point. It is much more important to know our Father's will in a situation, than to merely focus on what we want to accomplish. Being that God doesn't think or act like we normally would, it is imperative that we take a step back, analyze our motives, and seek understanding as we compare our ways, to His. Then, and only then, will we gain the wisdom we need to obtain a more Christ-like reputation in the minds of those around us. Christ-likeness should always be the goal, not being right.  Whatever point we think we need to make, we should make sure it is in line with God's will, not our own agenda.

This week, I will begin unpacking what it means to live a surrendered life.  Surrendering every area of our lives to Christ can be a foreign concept for many Christians, even if they've been a believer for many years.  In the next few weeks, I will be focusing on some specific areas that will be a challenge for all of us, as we strive to live a surrendered life for Christ.

This week, I want to talk about the distinct different spiritual roles within the marriage relationship, and how vital it is that the men understand the importance of their wives as "help," and being responsible as spiritual leaders before God, for the condition of their marriage.

I can't stress enough, how important it is for men to understand the mind of a woman, especially their wives. It is literally one of the biggest reasons why the church is suffering, both in hurting themselves, as well as hurting their credibility before the world. With the divorce rate being so catastrophic in the Christian community, it's no wonder, among other reasons, why the world looks at us and says, "Why would I want what you have?"

This week, I am promoting a book that will revolutionize your marriage and relationships. It's called, "Discovering The Mind Of A Woman," and it's like no other book you have ever read. I guarantee it. Ken Nair's marriage was profoundly transformed, and as a result, he and his wife have helped countless other couples restore their marriages, some even after divorce. This book was written during many sleepless nights, where Ken was unable to sleep. His wife encouraged him to write out his thoughts because maybe God was trying to tell him something. Once you read this book, you can decide for yourself. As for me, I firmly believe it was a blessing from God, because it opened the door for me to attend the Christ Quest Institute in Phoenix, AZ, where I was able to learn and apply the principles in this book, on a much deeper level.

This week, I want to define what it means to be a spiritual leader, as opposed to the common misconceptions about it. I also want to address the need to love our wives from their perspective. Please join me each week, as I talk about the need for Christian men, to understand their need before God to model Christ in their everyday lives, especially in the home.
