Taking A Closer Look

A Little Something About Angels

In this episode we are going to take a closer look at the closing verse in Genesis chapter 3 which contains a reference to something that we might have heard before and seen through many different portrayals and depictions not all of which are accurate though and that can create problems.  It will require us mentioning a little something about angels today with this being a fun topic and one that sparks our imaginations too but at the same time we must strive for accuracy.  The term cherubim, is one that we might be somewhat familiar with but is what we know about them Biblically sound?  That is what we are going to focus on today among other things.  

Control

In this episode we take a closer look at what is described in the 105th Psalm.  Control is an issue we all contend with in our lives, but we must reach the point where we understand the One that is actually in control.  This is a scary thought but when we begin to understand then we begin to feel a sense of calm come to us knowing that this One is more than capable and that is wonderful news.  

From Pain to Blessing

In this episode we continue with what we have been covering dealing with the Fallout after the man and woman fell from a state of innocence and grace.  They would go on to experience consequences but even in the midst of these difficulties they would also receive incredible blessings and with that we are taught an amazing lesson.  We deal with pain and suffering throughout our lives but if we stay the course and go through it then on the other side when it is said and done, we receive the gift in the form of a wonderful blessing being.  It is worth it and that will come through this show.  

In Need of Help

In this episode we will pick up where we left off in Episode 9 seeing how we all face adversity and trouble here in this life.  It is not out of the ordinary and we can face it and even overcome those trials, but there are times where we might not know what to do and reach the place where we need help.  This is something we all encounter sometimes and that is ok.  There is nothing wrong with needing help.  In fact, we are in luck because God has given us help in the form of His Word.  Today we are going to try to offer some insight into where we can turn in order to receive this most amazing wisdom that is meant for our own good.  

The Way It Is

A we live our lives we must understand that we are not living in the world spoken of in Genesis 1 & 2, which was a time of perfection where nothing bad could happen.  No, we are living in what happened in Genesis 3 which shows how the man and woman fell and once that happened it ushered in the time that we now know even though we still want to live as if we are in chapters 1 & 2.  This becomes a problem because when we have an idea or expectations and preconceived notions of how things should be or go, when we come to the reality it is much different.  Many times, we dream of things going right and never do entertain the possibility of something going wrong, but we need to know that adversity is built into the life we now live and it will find us no matter what we think and that needs to be accepted so we can begin to learn how to deal with it and much more.  

Episode 8 Needs and Wants

We are going to spend a little time focusing on "needs," vs. "wants," in this episode which is not a fun topic to address but is a crucial one.  So many times, in our lives chaos is either unleashed upon us or it is not far away strictly because we have already chosen to do what we "want," rather than first tackling what we "need," to do and because of that we experience trouble.  Once the "need," is finished and crossed off the list then we can start having some fun doing the things we "want," to do, but it all happens once we get started.  Don't wait!!!

Be Social

In today's episode we are going to talk about the importance for us to be social practicing social skills because it is not good for man to be alone and yet that seems to be on the rise today.  People are experiencing isolation and loneliness perhaps more so now than ever before.  That is not a good development but there are things that we can do in order to help and even fight back against this trend, but it begins with awareness.  

Episode 6 Cultivation

We are going to focus on what it means to cultivate something in this episode.  We live in a fast-paced society that seems to be moving faster and faster where the concept of taking the time to cultivate something is all but lost and that is not a positive.  We must learn what it means to work toward something, a goal or even a friendship practicing patience as we do and if we can stay the course then we will be better as a result.   

Episode 5 Anger

We are going to be taking a closer look at an emotion we all experience and feel in our lives, but the complexities and difficulties arise and come our way when we set out to express this all too often misunderstood emotion. We are talking about anger.  Anger is something that many times is misconstrued and misrepresented in the world, we are hoping to clear some of that up.  This is a topic that requires a great deal of care.  We understand which is why we have handled it responsibly for our listeners.  

Grip Strength and Balance

In this episode we are going to focus on the nervous system and how our grip strength and balance become increasingly more important as we age and get older.  By addressing these two things we are helping to improve out quality of life and will have confidence to be able to live and live a more fulfilling and dynamic life even well into old age.
