Episode 43 – with special guest, Phil Potts: “3 Habits to becoming a Heroic Husband.”

Our commitments in life set the stage to what we move toward. So, what are you moving toward? What are you committed to? Do your values align themselves with the things you are committed to? Sometimes the busyness of life can overshadow an intentional focus that moves us toward a meaningful and fulfilling life. Today’s special guest is committed to growth and is establishing a foundation to lead others in a way that sets them up for success. The path to success leaves clues, and today, Jeff McManus and I take a journey to identify those clues that have been left down the path of a blessed life. Jeff and I will discuss… How to identify if you are ‘running ragged.’ Learn the foundational pieces you can put in place to live an intentional life. Is your love for God at odds with your desire to be “liked” by your piers? Is your spirit trying to convict you about something? Living out your values and how they can actually move you closer to the things that matter most to you. Are others an inherent part of your success formula? https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+128&version=ESV (Psalm 128, “Blessed be the one who….) https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Colossians%203:23-24 (Colossians 3:23-24…. how you should work) Jeff’s book recommendation of how to “Grow your Life.” Try and audio version of this book for free at http://audibletrial.com/blessed (http://audibletrial.com/blessed) https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/your-blessed-life/id1094919891?mt=2 (Subscribe to the Your Blessed Life Podcast) http://yourblessedlife.com/donate/ (Support the Your Blessed Life Podcast with a Tax-Deductible donation) http://jeffmcmanusspeaking.com/ (Find out more about Jeff McManus and check out his new book, “Growing Weeders into Leaders.”)  

Episode 42 – with special guest, Jeff McManus: “Committed to Growth.”

If you have ever heard of the saying, “watch the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves,” then you know it’s the little things that make the difference. It’s the little things, the small things, that set the stage for us to better handle the bigger things. This isn’t just some cute saying, this is a sound Biblical principle. Today’s guest and I take a deep dive into understanding how the “small things” actually make the difference and even set the stage for what’s to come for your life. Blessed Nation, meet Andy Andrews. Andy is a master story teller. His ability to effectively communicate his message is evident in the fact that he has written over 25 books, several of which have become New York Times bestsellers. As a renown speaker and teacher, Andy is sought out to help others achieve extraordinary results for their life. And today….. We get to pick Andy’s brain on topics like; Why should we challenge conventional wisdom on why the small things really do matter in life? How the little things create such huge impact in our walk in Christ. We discuss “the gap..” and how these perceived little things in life set the stage for the life we are creating. How we can use the ‘little’ things’ to solve the bigger problems we might be facing in life. What is the better question we should be asking; Why or How? https://www.andyandrews.com/ (Find out more about Andy and check out his book “The Little Things: Why you really should sweat the small stuff”) https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/your-blessed-life/id1094919891?mt=2 (Subscribe to the Your Blessed Life Podcast) http://yourblessedlife.com/donate/ (Support the Your Blessed Life Podcast with a Tax-Deductible donation)

Episode 41 – with special guest, Andy Andrews: “How the Small Things are the Key to Unlocking your Future.”

Sometimes in our walk with Christ, it’s not so much what’s going on in our own life as it is experiences that others are going  through, that are drawing us closer to God. Sometimes it’s a child, sometimes it’a spouse, and sometimes it’s someone we barely know. Our God truly is an awesome God and he can use any situation as an opportunity to draw you closer to Him. So, what is God calling you to? What is God calling you to do? In this episode of the Your Blessed Life Podcast, my guest Dr. Sharon Spano shares how intentional focus, compassion, connection, and even obedience sets the stage to receive the fullness of what God has in store for your life. How is obedience preparing you for the next season of your life? Can you position yourself for God’s peace? How to keep going during a season of struggle. Why being intentional during a season of change is critical. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+6%3A21&version=NIV (Matthew 6:21, “Treasure & heart”) https://sharonspano.com/ (Sharon’s website and some additional information on her upcoming book, “Time & Money.”)

Episode 40 – with special guest, Sharon Spano: “What is God calling you to?”

Marriage seems to be this always moving process of learning and change, and this creates and opportunity to create breakthrough in our marriage. Often times learning and change is predicated by questions; sometimes they are tough questions. It’s those tough questions that move us to take a personal inventory of where things stand in our marriage. It’s those tough questions that helped today’s guest Phil Potts, move his marriage from a 2 to a 10. What questions are you asking that create a positive impact on your marriage? What questions can you ask that open the door to having a marriage that functions more like a 10 than a 2? How does duct tape become a foundational tool for your marriage and not just a quick fix to hold it together? How does https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+21&version=NKJV (John 21) and the story of Jesus, fish, nets, and his disciples help us to move toward an abundant life?

Having the opportunity to walk alongside another as they move through such a time is an opportunity to see the hand of God at work. What is God at work on in your life today?

The expression, “money makes the world go round” has a lot more meaning to it when you realize that over 2,300 scriptures in the Bible are about money.

In episode 34 my guest, Tom Schwab talks about when your faith moves from your head to your heart, you set the stage for for God’s power to be activated. Making the transition from head to heart, is a lot like ‘walking by faith and not by site’ (2 Corinthians 5:7). This mindset positions us for a shift to look at life from a positive perspective; knowing that God’s ways are higher than ours, and the he has your best interest at heart…… finding things to support God’s truth for your life. Why is the role of connection so important for your life? Why your perspective in life shapes your focus. Why it’s important to remember what God has done, is doing, and can do. How does prayer and God’s will set you on a path that best supports your life? You don’t have to work it all out or figure it all out when you follow a God that has promised to work all things together for your good. “Thou Shall Prosper” By Rabbi Daniel Lapin.

Episode 34 – with special guest, Tom Schwab: “How to find what you are looking for.”

Going through a season of trauma or loss is something that we had just as soon try to avoid, but when a season like this becomes a reality in life, the first key to moving through it isn’t to try and avoid it but to acknowledge it. This notion of acknowledgment will continue to show itself as a cornerstone of the healing process, as we find our way through trauma and loss. Today’s guest, Laura Bratton will share some special insight from her own story as well as from others on how we can courageously overcome adversity with grit and gratitude. Where is God in the midst of your suffering? How does acknowledgment set the stage for restoration? Are there ‘life jacket’ moments/opportunities around you? How being ‘with’ the pain or suffering can lead you through it. How gratefulness sets the mind and the heart in motion to healing.
