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
When we become believers, we are given the privilege of entering into a restored, love relationship with the very God who created us. There is an incomprehensible glory and weightiness in that calling. We learn what it means to take up our cross (sacrificing "self") in order to follow Him.

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_outlineSo much of what we invest our time into during this life will not matter eternally.
Every worldly thing we build will ultimately crumble.
Every personal accomplishment will die with us, or shortly there after.
All our work will come undone.
But God, in His grace has breathed purpose back into our living under the sun. He has instilled here some things that will remain after the end. These things can be interwoven into every part of our lives, should we choose to embrace them.
I'm talking about faith, hope and love.
In Episode number 1, we kicked off the podcast talking about the role love plays in adding eternal meaning to our days. I think we've revisited it in some capacity in every episode since (this one is no different).
Now, in Episode 9, we are tackling faith.
Join us as we consider:
- What does it mean to have faith?
- How is faith significant eternally?
- How would our lives look different if we really, truly believed that eternity was coming --if we had faith that every sacrifice for the sake of the Kingdom of God would be rewarded?
