The Idol of an Easy LIfe
Embracing a Simpler Life in Light of Eternity
Our culture (and our human nature) condition us to expect and desire an easy life. Rather than serving, we want to be served. Rather than sacrifice, we want comfort. In this episode of the Embracing a Simpler Life podcast we will be exposing the idol of an easy life, considering the value of "easy" in eternity, and taking a look at what the Bible has to say.

Embracing a Simpler Life in Light of Eternity

Media Choices in Light of Eternity (TV Edition)
Embracing a Simpler Life in Light of Eternity
Have you ever wondered what the Bible has to say about the media we choose to consume?
info_outlineThe practice of giving Christmas gifts has potential to be holy and precious, and yet somewhere along the way, we have gone astray.
- Instead of joy, we feel stress at the prospect of figuring out what to get for so many people, not to mention paying for them all.
- Instead of gratitude and love, our children feel a sense of let down after the last gift has been opened.
- Instead of slowing down to turn our hearts to the Lord and savor time with our families during the holiday season, we rush and bustle.
It doesn't have to be this way!
In this episode, we consider what it means to slow down, spend less, and yet give more (of what actually matters) this Christmas. So join us as we cut through the clutter and chaos of the season and redeem Christmas gift giving.
