On today’s episode, I am chatting with Fred and Pauletta Meek on the topic of our past. Sometimes it can be easy to reason away how God could use and redeem our past, especially when it includes areas we wish were not a part of. But if we humble ourselves, and trust Him to work as He can, He will use it all…even the ugly or undesirable to draw people into His kingdom.

What did life look like before you came to know Jesus? How did he first begin to work to draw you to himself? How did the Lord open the door for you to go to prison? What about the listener who feels tarnished or even disqualified by their past…can you speak to the enemy component in these lies as well as the truth of God’s Word? How can we learn to hold our days more “open-handedly” allowing the Lord to redirect and teach us?

We are continuing in our series entitled “on mission” strategically evaluating how God desires to leverage every aspect of our lives for his glory and kingdom opportunities.

I am chatting with Caleb Bazyler and Cortlyn Holdren, both 3rd-year medical students, about “even our shorter seasons”. Sometimes it can be easy to reason away the importance of shorter seasons of life or just get so focused on the “what’s next” but as we read throughout scripture, God has purpose in all of our days. We are going to dive deeper into how we can view these from His perspective, love others well, and seek His agenda for today.

How can we look at our shorter seasons differently than with just a “get through” mentality? How can we learn to embrace what God has in today and not just fixate on the future? How can we love others well while also having our ears open for gospel opportunities? How can we walk into gospel conversations without being intimidated?
