Hebrews 12:1 tells us to "lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.” When we pursue things that lead to freedom, we can set aside encumbrances and live a life unhindered!
Learn the biblical prescription for living wisely and making the most of our short time on earth through our five pillars of living strategically. We pray that you will apply these five strategic keys to your own life and discover the blessings that follow.
Are we living in the end times? That's the big question on today's episode of the Living Strategically podcast. We also review Jonathan Cahn's new book, The Oracle: The Jubilean Mysteries Unveiled, which was released in September 2019.
Simple living is an attitude of the heart that God calls His children to live by in order to find true fulfillment. The world will tell you to aim for quantity over quality, but that actually leads to a stressful life. When we stay content with a more simple lifestyle, it helps us prioritize the essential and live more intentionally.
Sometimes we come against obstacles that hinder our effectiveness as Christians, even hindering us from fulfilling our life’s calling. When we walk by the Spirit, it keeps us on the straight and narrow, because we see sin for what it really is (captivity) and we see submission to God for what it really is (freedom). We need to aim for living unhindered!
An important part of stewardship is looking at the big picture rather than being short-sighted — taking the time to examine how we are investing the assets that God entrusts into our care. If we're not careful, we'll lose sight of our higher calling and reach the end of our lives without fulfilling our God-given purpose.
It’s been said that everyone ends up somewhere in life. But few people end up somewhere on purpose. If we aren’t careful, we’ll look back one day and realize how quickly our lives have passed us by. That will not be the time to evaluate our life’s purpose and why God has placed us on this earth. If you don’t already know your God-given purpose, then this podcast episode will help you figure it out.
Today we are starting a new series for the Living Strategically podcast where we dive deeper into aspects of a life lived with intention, or as we like to say, “lived strategically”. We explore what we call our "five pillars of Living Strategically” which include: eternal perspective, stewardship, prophetic urgency, freedom, and most importantly…a biblical framework. When these aspects come together, we can live the abundant life that God has called us to live.
After eight weeks of traveling around America, we have safely arrived back home to South Texas. It was an epic journey but there is something special about returning to familiar territory. As Christians, we should never lose sight of where our eternal home is because that affects all of our actions and decisions while on earth.
