Ep 85 | ‘Tis the Season for Family Drama
Life on Life with Punky Tolson
If we're being honest, family gatherings have the potential to be “The best of times and the worst of times” (Charles Dickens) during the holidays. And, it all starts long before we ever get to the celebration, right? Days before, we begin remembering all the offenses and before long, we’re carrying a big grudge that weighs more than the turkey! So, what are we, as Jesus followers, supposed to do? How are we supposed to walk this out? Well, I've got a few practical, biblical tips for you in today’s episode. Tune in!

Ep 84 | How to Save a Life
Life on Life with Punky Tolson
Have you ever shared your faith in Jesus with another person? Don't be embarrassed if you haven’t–about 95% of professing evangelical Christians have never shared their faith with another person. Why is that? As Christians, we know it's important that we use what God has given us (our voices, our resources, our spheres of influence) to have an impact for Christ. Do you know what you believe and why you believe it? Then, share your faith! Not sure how?

Ep 83 | Who’s in Your Head?
Life on Life with Punky Tolson
Who's talking to you? Who are you listening to? What are they influencing you to think about, to do or to become? Words are powerful. Throughout history, people with the ability to communicate have written things and spoken things that all of us have been influenced by. Words can convince us and convict us, change the way we think…and therefore change our attitudes and our behavior. And as a result of all of those words filtering in us–they have the ability to change our life for better or for worse–depending on who or what we're listening to. So, who’s in your head?

Ep 82 | When Less is More
Life on Life with Punky Tolson
Have you ever felt like your head is cluttered and your soul is being suffocated by the enemy of “too much”? Before we know it, we can allow the accumulation and the abundance of many things to pull our focus and deprive us of attention that could be better spent in better ways. What does God say about this? Tune in and find out!

Ep 81 | What do you believe?
Life on Life with Punky Tolson
If you don't know what you believe and why you believe it, then it’s likely you’re going to cave the moment you get pushback. In times like today, we are called to stand strong in our faith in the face of adversity. What we believe leads us in a particular direction in life. So, what do you believe? Tune in!

TODAY’S CHALLENGE:
Read Jeremiah 29:11-13
What is your heart set on? What is it that you’re longing for… that thing you’re convinced that if only God gave it to you would bring you contentment and happiness? What is it? Do you want it more than anything? Because that thing, whatever it is, is driving you. And that thing is most likely the thing you want more than you want Jesus.
Are you seeking his hand (what he can give you) instead of his face (who he is)? Here’s the question: Where would your relationship with Jesus be if he told you that you would never have that thing?
God only gives us good gifts. Like the good, loving and protective Father that he is, he will not give us what is not his very best for us. So- Where would your relationship be with him if he told you, “No” to that thing. Talk it over with the Lord; ask him to show you what you’re holding so tightly to that you can’t take hold of him.
Would you be willing to surrender it- whatever it is, and pray, “More than what I want, Lord, I want what you want for me.” I strongly encourage you to pray that and lay that thing down. There’s freedom in that prayer, friend. And what’s more— if God says no to something, it’s because he always has a better yes.
Talk this over with your trusted friend or small group, then open God’s Word and seek God with all your heart. When you do, you will find him— not just to be something, but Everything you need.
