Hearing God's voice was never meant to be spooky or difficult. When God made us, He made us to converse and live with. This episode is a continuation of last weeks "The Chair" where we will talk more about hearing God's voice as well as some unorthodox ways God has talked with me. Prayer is not talking at God, it's talking with Him. Listen and see how simple and fun it can actually be.

Hearing God's voice was never meant to be difficult. When God made us, He made us to live in relationship with Him and no relationship can be better than its communication. The happy news is, hearing God is not only meant for us, it's also simple and easy.

The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay? God? Little? How does that even work? Is it true? How does that affect me? If we don't learn to see God in the minutiae, we will miss God in the majority of our lives. God is so big and so powerful that He can hold, and therefore control, the whole universe in the palm of His hand. Yet He is so small that He fits into the smallest detail of our lives. That is a side of God many don't see. Everybody loves the baby Jesus. It's here that we see the softness ...

Memories always seem better the second time around - when you're remembering them, not when you're making them. If we really think about the birth of Jesus, it definitely does not come out as warm and cozy as we tend to think of it now 2,000 years later. All is calm?? All is bright?? Come with me as we take a little different look at what the original Nativity looked and felt like and what really made it warm, peaceful, joyful etc. When we apply this principle to our lives, we will be calm and b...

There is no place like home for the Holidays. This podcast is recorded and dedicated to those who can't be with their family on Christmas. Maybe a loved one has passed or is defending our country, away on business, or simply doesn't have the means to make it home. I know what it's like to be away from home on holidays, birthdays and other special days. So, in this podcast I not only give a little peek into what Christmastime looks like for us, but I give some tips to encourage and help those who...

Sometimes I wonder if it shouldn't be called ChristMess. What do we do when Christmas turns into Christmess? Life isn't always predictable, controllable, neat or tidy. Sometimes Life Happens.

Listen and be encouraged as I talk about 3 family holiday quotes that changed my entire perspective on what's really important in Christmas and life. Maybe they can help change yours too.

This one thing might just affect our happiness more than anything else. No matter how life is treating us, if this isn't right, nothing else will be either. The great news is this is true for the flip side as well. If we can get this topic figured out, no matter what life throws at us we can still live happy. I close this episode with a happy life prescription which is just the medication that will help bring us to the healthy happy we want to be. www.HappyLife.lol www.Facebook.com/HappyLifeStud...

Fed up with the upcoming presidential election already? Well I am, and we still have a year left. I have to warn you, I try to talk about politics in this podcast. I tell you all I know and it takes about 3 minutes. We've probably all heard the word "evangelical". Probably not all by itself, it's almost always paired with "Christian". Evangelical Christian. What does that even mean? Does it currently mean what it was supposed to mean originally? Take a listen, you might be surprised. Here is the...

Has the happy life ever felt more like an impossibility rather than a possibility? Sometimes the happy just seems too elusive and I highly doubt I will ever attain, let alone sustain it. There's just too much darkness, too many obstacles and awful circumstances that stand in the way, and bullies away the happy. But life doesn't have to be this way. One can stand up to the bullies and achieve the happy life. This week's podcast is another interview, only this time I'm the one who is being intervi...

When one compliments a child they often get a reply like "I know" or we will hear "I'm a really good ______" when listening to a child. Not only is this really cute, but it's incredibly healthy too. The question we deal with in this episode is "Why does that go away when we "grow up?" Why can't we as adults say "I know" or "I'm really good at _____" instead of blowing it off or even jokingly cutting on or criticizing ourselves in response? Truth is, we're all really good at something and when we...

I love the movie, "What About Bob". If you've ever watched it, I bet it was the first thing you thought of when you read this episode's title. In the opening scene, "Bob", played by Bill Murray, is trying to cope by releasing this the mantra that this episode is named after. I think Bob is on to something here. Happy is a choice.
