Cup of Soul Podcast
Welcome to Failures Anonymous. We sneak in the backdoor and meet in the basement. Some of us are in disguise. We wear the masks of good performance, the many hats of admirable behavior, the coats of enviable credentials, and nice-gal necklaces. Failure is a word almost no one wants to be associated with. Our failures don't have to be final. But we need to learn the ways that let us move beyond them. Start by listening to God's Word. Candis says... You are going to need an entire journal for this one! This week's episode is about failure and success - but not the way...
info_outline The Second Hardest Thing- Be Tolerant/IntolerantCup of Soul Podcast
What God Thinks About Tolerance Question: On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the greatest, how tolerant are you? “Tolerant of what?” you might ask, thinking of politics, religion, sports, or intelligence. Most of us think of ourselves as being quite tolerant, and certainly if we are in the minority, we demand tolerance and respect as a kind of sacred right. But the deeper issue evokes another question: Should we be tolerant at all? You know, Christians are often characterized as being intolerant. It’s a negative word that...

info_outline Growing Old Growing UpCup of Soul Podcast
Growing Old Growing Up s strange and mysterious to me, and I’m not quite sure I’ve got a handle on it yet. It surrounds me -- I feel it in my back when I get up and I see it in my hair when I spot another strand that’s gray. Change is an inevitable part of life. We’re being shaped every minute we live. Every thought, every decision, every action, every emotion, every response is shaping us into one kind of person or another. Either we’re moving toward likeness to Christ or away from Him into some sort of caricature of the person God intended us to be. This week 5 sisterfriends...
