Ever wondered how life's unexpected turns can lead to blessings in disguise? Carter shares his roller-coaster journey with the testing process of a new and hopeful career, and offering a candid look at the ups and downs since leaving his previous job. As we banter about recent escapades, including Carter's Father's Day golfing adventure and Levi's packed summer of football camps from Minnesota to Dallas, we highlight the importance of staying busy and trusting in God's plan, even through the chaos.
Inspired by a recent sermon, we delve into the profound idea of storing treasures in heaven. We discuss the joy of performing unnoticed good deeds and the significance of filling our lives with light, as illustrated in Matthew 6:22-23. Carter and Levi share personal stories and biblical insights, emphasizing the battle between worldly desires and spiritual fulfillment. The conversation pivots to Matthew 6:24, underscoring the necessity of choosing God over material possessions and the peace that comes from walking in the light.
Overthinking and worrying can be paralyzing, but Jesus' teachings offer a powerful antidote. Reflecting on Matthew 6:25-34, we explore the futility of worry and the freedom found in trusting God's provision. Drawing wisdom from relevant Bible verses, we share practical advice on controlling what we can and leaving the rest to God. Comparing different approaches to stress, we highlight the importance of finding a balanced perspective, where thoughtful consideration and peace of mind coexist, trusting always in God's care. Tune in for an episode filled with heartfelt stories, spiritual insights, and practical wisdom.

We love hearing from our listeners whether it's criticism, advice, or just thoughts on the conversation we had. Find us or reach out to us here:
