An Invitation to Prosecute the Devil (Ep 201)

Most people will never be successful ... authentically successful. Viktor Frankl (Holocaust survivor and author of 'Man's Search for Meaning') said, "You become successful and happy when you pursue something beyond yourself … when you dedicate yourself to others. Then success and happiness show up." What is authentic success? Jesus reconnects us with our deepest sense of meaning in God's eternal purpose -- and with that, we discover our highest life design. >> See the show notes for this episode at JesusSmart.com >> Get the Jesus Smart eLetter and keep current with podcast episode releases >> Podcast archive at JesusSmart.com

Trials are times of testing and pressure. Everyone experiences them. For the Christ-follower, trials are a unique opportunity to use Kingdom leverage. If we process well with the Lord, God can gain what he's looking for ... and we can gain new territory in our life and expression of our calling. Amazingly, James writes that we can live joyfully through our trials because of the advantageous outcomes. >> To see Frank's book and course HangOnLetGo.com >> Beyond Evangelical: The Blog of Frank Viola >> The Deeper Christian Life Network >> Go to the show notes page for this episode at JesusSmart.com >> Get the Jesus Smart eLetter and keep current with podcast episode releases >> Podcast archive at JesusSmart.com

Good Things Come to Those Who Groan (Godspeed Episode! Ep 194)

There's a real sense in which the horizons of our lives are placed on a curve. Just like the curvature of the earth where the sky meets the earth. Over-the-horizon thinking and applied faith are necessary to journey into new things that want to happen from heaven's point of view. In this episode, we explore 1) worshipping and praying, 2) visualizing and prophesying, 3) belief set points, and 4) "acting as if" with faith action. All 4 of these elements make up over-the-horizon thinking and faith to move you into new territory. ----more---- >> Go to the show notes page for this episode at JesusSmart.com >> Get the Jesus Smart eLetter and keep current with podcast episode releases >> Podcast archive at JesusSmart.com
