#29 (S3-E10) Episode 29 on the Well for Goodness Sake – THE 4:8 LIFE PODCAST is a real-life chat with author-podcaster, Jesus follower, wife, and mother, Jo Fuenzalida. On today’s episode, we talk about THE GIFT of SEASONS. We learn to look for and find Jesus in every season and what that means for every believer to experience Christ—especially in suffering. Just as faithful fitness develops a stronger body over time, or healthy food makes us stronger through repeated healthy practices and behaviors, experiencing Jesus needs to become a repeated practice because experiencing Jesus in all seasons is vitally important to developing the faculties of our inner being.

What season are you in right now? Do you see Jesus in the place with you, in that experience, in that circumstance?

Welcome to the SAFE SPACE. Listen and be encouraged that you are not alone.

KEY VERSE

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 (AMP)

“1 There is a season (a time appointed) for everything and a time for every delight and event or purpose under heaven— 2 A time to be born and a time to die; A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted. 3 A time to kill and a time to heal; A time to tear down and a time to build up. 4 A time to weep and a time to laugh; A time to mourn and a time to dance. 5 A time to throw away stones and a time to gather stones; A time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing. 6 A time to search and a time to give up as lost; A time to keep and a time to throw away. 7 A time to tear apart and a time to sew together; A time to keep silent and a time to speak. 8 A time to love and a time to hate; A time for war and a time for peace.”

#21 (S3-E7) Episode 21 on the Well for Goodness Sake – THE 4:8 LIFE PODCAST is a real-life chat with author-podcaster, Jesus follower, wife, and mother, Jo Fuenzalida. On today’s episode, MENTAL RESILIENCE, the final piece and part three of building resilience against all evil and spiritual warfare, and taking our place in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, His life, death, resurrection, and blood—TRUTH!

We dissect and understand, giving THE LIFE OF OUR MINDS to God, consecrating everything to Him, mind, body, soul, spirit. It is powerful what He has done, and His glory fills us as we fully surrender at the foot of the cross.

Welcome to the SAFE SPACE. Listen and be encouraged that you are not alone.

KEY FOCAL POINTS

Part 1: Mind prayer & mindset

Can we worship a God we are not fully surrendered to? Can we love a God we are not fully surrendered to?

Part 2: What narrative are we living in?

According to John Eldridge, the human brain compartmentalizes the details of life, reality, and what story we believe into narratives.

Part 3: Mental resilience is Jesus (Truth)!

God’s glory and truth fill the hearts and minds of every believer, and we find that glory and peace like no other in His presence.

Part 4: More on loving Jesus

Loving Jesus means full surrender, giving it all to God.
