It can be easy to mistake a waiting season for a wasted season. But what if God was wanting to teach us something through the wait? Join us as we follow the journey of a people who knew a little something about being stuck...finding themselves for 40 years stuck in a desert, stuck between a promise and the promised land.

You might not always be able to choose what you go through in life, but you do have a choice about how you come out.

Be a part of the building of the Kingdom. I Cor 3:10-15. As people we tend to value the right now over the future. Prov. 13:15. Are you spending your life asking the question right now OR what then? Investing. 10/10/80 principal. Choose to put God first. Don't worry about tomorrow BUT care and plan for tomorrow.

Eph. 2:10, Matt 25:14-30. Talent - the value of currency measured by weight of gold or silver. It's only in finding Christ that we find our true worth. We lose in life when we make life a competition.

Luke 2:8-11. We all struggle to remember what Christmas is all about. To understand the significance of the event, you havre to understand the importance of the invitation. Numbers 13:28-33. It's not enough to believe in God's promises. You have to believe in His preferences.

How we find hope. Where we find hope. Through Jesus and other people. Rom. 8:28. God's "signal" is always good. If your connection is faulty, you are going to struggle. How do you establish good connections in your life? II Tim. 1:6. Have someone you can be transparent with. A good relationship involves effort for all involved. Ask for help. You can't do it alone. Being around other people is a good "mirror" to fully realize our spiritual status.

Episode 5

Gal 5:16-17, Fruit of the Spirit Gal 5:22. If change is the fruit, then what is the "seed" that starts the process? Surrender. Not try...trust. Surrender our deadlines, surrender our heart. You get into and out of things the same way...one step at a time. Real change is only revealed through testing.

A gentle hand will help you get what you want. Don't kick the bee hive. Encouraging speaking will bring out creative thinking in people and team spirit. Rudeness does the opposite. Prov. 30:32. Hold your tongue. 33 forcing wrath leads to strife. 1) Analyze.Look at what and why. 2) Extrapolate. If this, then that. Prov 4:26. 3) Prioritize. What do you want? 4) Navigate. How are you going to get it?
