What does it mean to live a life of abundance?   In John 10:10, Jesus said, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly.” Unlike a thief, the Lord Jesus does not come for selfish reasons. He comes to give, not to get. He comes that people may have life in Him that is meaningful, purposeful, joyful, and eternal. We receive this abundant life the moment we accept Him as our Savior.   Website:  www.2PillarsPodcast.comFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/2PillarsPodcastPatreon  https://www.patreon.com/2PillarsPodcast

A great fable is not only Evergreen but teaches a great lesson.   The Animal School Fable by George Reavis is one that teaches us the importance of focusing on our strengths.  Too many of us worry about weaknesses and forget to leverage our core skills.   Companies have their teams create development plans aimed at their opportunities but say nothing about how to leverage their strengths.   You can take this same story and apply it to what is known as Spiritual gifts.  The Gifts of the Holy Spirit are unique skills and abilities given by the Holy Spirit to faithful followers of Christ to serve God for the common benefit of his people, and the church.   Website:  www.2PillarsPodcast.comFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/2PillarsPodcastPatreon  https://www.patreon.com/2PillarsPodcast

What does it mean to feel stuck in a rut?   How do you recognize that feeling and more importantly move forward?   Those stuck feelings are sometimes short and easy to get over.  Other times, the feeling is prolonged and then starts to feel normal.  That’s when you start to get deeper into your rut.  That feeling is a message from your body that something in your life is off, signaling you to make a change.     Website:  www.2PillarsPodcast.comFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/2PillarsPodcastPatreon  https://www.patreon.com/2PillarsPodcast

What are you pursuing right now?  Have you ever stopped to think about why you are pursuing that goal? Goals are not only important but needed in order to advance yourself and often benefit the world.  The pursuit of a goal is not the problem, but the meaning behind the pursuit.  The motivation behind it.     This is part 3 of the series, "The Meaningless Pursuit of More", where I share important lessons taught by Solomon who at one point had it all, but realized in the end, that it was meaningless.   Website:  www.2PillarsPodcast.comFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/2PillarsPodcastPatreon  https://www.patreon.com/2PillarsPodcast

Life is filled with cycles or seasons.  Some seasons are easy and everything seems to be going your way.  Other times, no matter how hard you try, the deck seems stacked against you.  You look for strength, signs, or inspiration on how to get through.  You expect the sign to be dramatic or obvious.  What I learned is that often the signs are not those big yellow neon signs but a small highway mile marker that you don’t even notice.   Website:  www.2PillarsPodcast.comFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/2PillarsPodcastPatreon  https://www.patreon.com/2PillarsPodcast
