020: Finish The Year Strong With This 90 Day Plan
There are 90 days left in 2023 and that may seem short but there is so much you can do in 90 days! If you read a book a week, in 90 days you will have read almost 13 books. If move $25 a day into a savings account for 90 days, you will have saved $2,250. If you read your Bible for 15 minutes a day, you could read through entire New Testament and the book of Proverbs. In under 90 days you can go from running 2 miles to 13.1 miles. And I know this because my half marathon training plan does exactly this. This episode covers the 90 day plan to finish strong and set your self up for a year you will remember!    Book of the Week:  Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers by Jesse Q Sutanto   Scripture Learning:  1 John 1: 8-10 - 8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.   Episodes Mentioned:  007: How To Do A Mid Year Goals Check     Thank you for your support of the show!  Be sure to:  Subscribe!  Write a short review!

018: Four Rhythms to Get More Scripture in Your Day
Writing scripture on our hearts is easier said than done - use these daily rhythms to help you work in more scripture into your day!     Book Recommendation:  The Summer Of Broken Rules by K.L. Walther - 2.5/5 This was cute for a YA novel. Liked the beachy vibes and the summer camp style game of assasin. Do not believe anyone who tells you this is based on a Taylor Swift song. You will be dissapointed.    Scripture Resources:  God's Big Story Podcast  Tiny Theologians Knowing Faith Bible Project  Verses App
