He Can Deal With My Worry and Regret
Epic Every Day
It’s our 160th episode and our final show for a while. We’re talking about what we’ve learned about being complete today after talking about it every Friday for a year. Evan talks about being more willing to take imperfect action and how freeing that is. Liz talks about helpful it is to use her whole self in the current situation. You can always go back and listen to our other episodes! We have enough for you to listen daily (week days) for an entire year.

Lonely Every Day Until You Try This
Epic Every Day
Are you working hard on ministry but know inside that you’re lonely? The CSCs are the way out of that isolation. Today we’re talking about connection, but really, all the CSCs (Calm, Surrender, Centered, Connected, & Complete) give us the ability to be connected to God and others in a healthy way. You don’t want to have to wait 35 years to ever express your feelings, especially if you’re suppressing resentment—that just looks like lashing out in bitterness.

You are Not Beyond Repair
Epic Every Day
When you are centered, you are freed up to act in spite of the chaos, to shine like a light, to be whatever God designed you to be. Liz talks about her favorite homework that keeps her centered, and Evan talks about how nice it is not not be a social chameleon. It is important to distinguish within yourself the hard-wired things you can’t change and the caught and taught stuff that can and should be changing as you mature.

Come What May
Epic Every Day
Surrender is the quickest route to peace—way more effective than squashing emotions. When we try to control our situation, it just ends up getting us stuck at point A instead of getting us closer to point B. It is possible to have much better self-talk through surrender. We don’t want to be double-minded.

Can’t Numb the Feeling
Epic Every Day
You grab onto Calm by letting go, and it just takes a second. This week we are reflecting back on what we’ve learned making the show for an entire year! It used to seem normal to be swept away by overwhelm. It also seemed like staying calm depended on circumstances. Evan & Liz discuss how their thoughts have changed.

Prayer: the Pathway to the Real World
Epic Every Day
In 2 Corinthians, Paul talks about how the troubles of the world are not eternal—how he fixes his eyes on what is unseen because what is seen is temporary. Through prayer, we too can have a real-world perspective.

Twisting God’s Arm
Epic Every Day
Do you have anxiety about prayer? What words do you use? Isn't prayer the job of pastors and priests? We’re going to talk about the nuts and bolts of prayer some today. Do we need to pray with lots of fancy words? How does “pray without ceasing” work?

Reveal My Heart
Epic Every Day
What does it mean to seek God with a whole heart? Do you sometimes stop yourself from praying about things are are too small for God to be concerned with? There are no such things though. Nothing happens in your life that makes God say, “I didn't see that coming!”

Ask and You Shall Receive
Epic Every Day
When God says ‘no’ to our prayers. We’re asking in faith for the best things we know how to ask for, and yet God still says ‘no’ sometimes. Our understanding of good and God’s understanding of good are different, but they should be growing closer together as we grow spiritually.

He Turned His Ear to Me
Epic Every Day
The God who created the universe is giving you instant access through prayer. He pays attention to you. We have a God who listens! You don’t have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders or do wild things to get God’s attention. His ears are ready to listen.
info_outlineBeing a leader is the call of every Christian. But when we take our eyes off Jesus and get distracted, we make our lives difficult and lose calm. Unfortunately, stress is contagious. Fortunately, calm is contagious too—like Jesus when he was sleeping in the boat during the storm.
