We all want to see miracles right? Who doesn't want to see God doing supernatural things in our life? I've always been a person that wants to get to the root of things - like blues being the root of rock and roll. So, what's at the root of seeing miraculous breakthroughs? What will give us peace, joy and freedom from fear? What's the secret? Actually, it's not a secret at all if we look closely enough.

Sometimes bad moods can be brought on by frustrating circumstances that we can do something about. Things like conflict, failure, bad habits, etc. have a remedy in this life. But there is a frustration we have to learn to live with. That is the fact that we are in this world, but not of it. While we can catch glimpses of heaven in this life, we will never truly experience total peace and fulfillment in the here-and-now. This podcast is about learning to live life abundantly in spite of that frustration.

Bad moods can roll into bad seasons which results in wasted potential and productivity. Some things that cause bad moods are unavoidable, but there are things we can do to head most day-to-day bad moods before they ruin our day, week, etc.. In this episode, we'll talk about antidotes for a bad mood - things we can do to shift a bad mood before it gains too much ground. 

A bad mood can ruin our day. A bad mood can ruin a week, a month, a year and even a life. We all find ourselves in a funk once in a while. How do we shift gears when a bad mood threatens to keep us in neutral or worse yet reverse? This episode takes us back to the basics, but sometimes we need that . 

Life really is a juggle - and none of like to drop a ball. The   fact is, we will let people down. We will let ourselves down. In  retrospect, this series should have been called "Managing the Juggle."   We may never master the complexities of family, work, etc. - but we can become even more effective managers.

Finally, I'm back after 18 prison events over the past six-weeks. In this episode, we'll finish up the series by talking about one of our adversary's most effective weapons at keeping us from doing all God has planned for us to do - and how to overcome it. 

Fear, anxiety and worry can rob us of our true identity and potential in Christ. When we remind ourselves that we are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation and God's special possession we can go after the things God has given us to do in life with a sweet abandon. Conversely, if we feed our fears we will fail to take the necessary risk to achieve our God-given potential. 

Life  has a way of branding us with negative labels and titles. If we  ultimately identify with anything or anyone other than Christ, we are  bound to wrestle with self-defeating thoughts of inadequacy that keep us  from doing our best work in life. Martin Luther called our vocation "a  mask of God." When we remind ourselves who we really are in Christ, we come to see everything else is just a clever disguise.
