Avoiding Foolish Talk and Aguements
Episode 54 Thanks for tuning in to my latest episode. In this podcast I will be addressing a very important topic that involves our behaviors and how we can represent in the right way. It is so easy to get sucked into a conversation that turns into an argument while on social media or even in person. I will be referencing important verses from 2nd Timothy that we can glean from in our daily lives on how to stay focused on how to represent as followers of Jesus Christ. We are living in a digital age where everyone is sharing their opinions on social media which can be a great tool; it’s just a matter of knowing how to react and remember who we are supposed to be in the world. My prayer is that this podcast will shed light on ways in which we all can behave and handle conversations as followers of Jesus Christ. God Bless You all and I look forward as always to reading your comments and thanks in advance for sharing this with others.

Representing Christ While Working
Episode 53 In this podcast I will be discussing something very important. A lesson from the book of Timothy about how we should work in ministry as well as out in the world. It is very important for us as followers of Jesus Christ to represent in all we do because the world is watching. Whether we are working at our jobs or in ministry, our work ethics speak volumes to our coworkers, bosses and more importantly the Lord. My prayer is that this podcast will encourage you all to be alert as you go out and do your daily life. Enjoy the show, and I look forward to reading your comments. God Bless You and Yours.

Moms Last Love Letter
Episode 51 In this episode, I will be sharing something very dear to my heart. The last birthday love letter I wrote my Mother before she passed in March 2019. Mom’s birthday was February 2nd and for many years instead of buying my Parents a generic card, I would write them a letter filled with memories, love, laughs, and thankfulness. With the main goal being to bless them with a great tear-jerker letter as I have mentioned in previous podcasts, but this time I am going to read it. My prayer is that you will take this idea and do the same for your loved ones. While you are writing it to whomever you choose, friend, family, or even a stranger I want you to keep 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 in mind because as many pf you know it’s all about the Love. God Bless you all and I look forward to reading your comments and even your own testimonies. Love You All and enjoy the Podcast. Simply follow the link below.

A Life Chat With Olly From England Part 2
Episode 48 Part 2 of a great interview with Olly from England, he works for the European Golf Tournament as one of the assistant producers and we hit it off as we talked about life. I hope you took the time to listen to part one and if you didn’t I suggest you take the time to listen to it. As I mentioned in Part 1, Olly has not asked Jesus Christ into his life yet, he does believe that there is a higher power and has actually prayed and asked for help when things have gone downhill in his life. Also, we did find something to help break the wind while recorded but there are still some portions that may have high wind interruptions. Please do not let this deter you from listening to the entire podcast as we discuss some great topics that affect all of us. Thanks for listening and please leave us a comment and share if you lie.

Episode 46 It is my honor to sit with Caleb Daigle and His Father Mike Daigle as we discuss Mike’s 6 year battle with Kidney Disease. As many of you know Caleb and I completed a 3 part series on Trusting God and mentioned his Father Mike and how it would be great to have him join us in a podcast. Well in this Show we will be talking with his Father Mike about the journey that nearly took his life. But God….. Intervened through a wonderful, young woman and his life changed forever, as well as his amazing family. I want to strongly encourage all of you to take the time to listen to this message, a message of hope, sadness, love, unselfishness, strength, and victory through Jesus Christ. Mike’s story is amazing and hearing about each part of his journey as He woke up each day not knowing what it would bring. God blessed him with an amazing wife and four boys who love him dearly. You will also get to hear about his amazing wife Tiffany who not only stood by his side but also filled in as Mom, Dad, Moral Support, and Wife. In Mike’s words he would never have made it through the past 6 years without her. So sit back relax and listen to this great testimony on how a Man waited 6 years for a Kidney and how a high school classmate of Caleb’s saved his Father’s life.

Trusting God Part 3
Episode 45 In this final part of this 3 part series, we will be sharing on How and why we need to trust God. Are you going through a rough patch, lost a job, friends, a family member passed away? Well turn those concerns over to the Lord, pray for Him to help you and trust in His word through everything. Pray and ask the Lord to send you some caring individuals who can be there for you in your time of need. Just like the Ethiopian Eunuch in Acts 8:26-40, needing help understanding the scriptures, we all need someone to come alongside us, people who we know we can trust. Relying on the Lord and trusting in His word is something we must do every day. Once again even when times are rough and there seems like there is no earthly way out of a situation, we must focus on Him. In this podcast, Caleb Daigle and I share more verses on situations where trusting God is a way of life. Paul encourages us in his letter to the church in Philippi “to not worry about anything, instead, pray about everything.” And then “we will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand.” Our prayer is that this final part of this 3 part series will encourage you to learn how to trust in the Lord. As we mention there are times it will not be easy, and sometimes it may take longer to resolve a situation but be patient, stay in God’s Word, pray and focus on your relationship with the Lord. Thank you for listening, commenting and hopefully sharing this series. God Bless You and yours Love you all!

Episode 44 In part 2 of this 3 part series on Trusting God, Caleb Daigle and I will be highlighting some Bible verses that bring out the point of how important it is to trust in God. Because when we trust in Him He will guide our path. Are you trying to figure out what path God has laid out for you? Are you actually taking the time out for Him each day, are you spending time in His Word, or even just sitting in silence listening for the still small voice of the Holy Spirit? I want to encourage you today just as Proverbs 3:5-6 states to “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.” And more importantly to “seek His will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.” I know at times it might not be an easy task but you just have to trust and have faith Sisters and Brothers. Our prayer is that this podcast will bless you in a mighty way and reveal ways in which we all can focus on trusting God in all we say and do. God Bless You and Yours, Love You All!

Forgiveness Keeping It Real part 3 (Conclusion)
Episode 43 Thank you for joining me on this 3 part series about forgiveness. My prayer is that you take some very important nuggets from these podcasts. God’s Word says we must forgive. As I have mentioned in this series it is not easy but we must also remember my warning, If you have ever or still do recite “the Lord’s Prayer”, then take heed to your words and actions because in Matthew 6:12 Jesus says: And forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us. So I want you to ask yourself a question……Are you forgiving others? Have you withheld forgiveness from someone who has been trying to make amends with you? Are you forgiving others the way you want God to forgive you? Think about these questions as you listen or watch the conclusion of tis 3 part series. I want to leave you with this message I copied from Biblegateway.com about forgiveness. “In light of our new beginning, God commands that in return, we forgive others and extend grace as we have been shown grace. It can be one of the hardest things we face in life! The pain and hurt others cause us is real and great. But, the pain of living with bitterness and unforgiveness can poison your soul and destroy you. When we forgive others, we are not saying what they did was OK, but we are releasing them to God and letting go of its hold on us.” A-Men Once again thanks for listening/ watching, leaving comments, sharing and praying for me as I continue to produce podcasts on relevant topics for today. God Bless You and Yours, Love You All! Remember, forgive, and then forgive, and lastly forgive.

Forgiveness Keeping It Real part 2
Episode 42 In the first part of this series, I covered the importance of forgiveness and how we must do it so that our Father in Heaven will forgive us. Forgiving can be hard at times but today I want to focus on how many times a day we should forgive and why. Keep in mind this is an example of how we need to be loving as well. In order to explain it better, I will be sharing with you some teaching from Jesus out of Matthew and Luke. In this episode, I will also be sharing a testimony about how I overcame being hurt by an individual that was truly prejudice. Life definitely has its challenges but as we go through them each day we must always remember to love others as Jesus Did and forgive those who have hurt us. The world needs to see the Word of God in action. Preach the Word by your actions daily my friends forgive, forgive oh and lastly….forgive. Thanks for listening and watching and I look forward to reading your comments, and I also hope you will help me share this podcast to as many people as we can.

Forgiveness Keeping It Real ~ Part 1
Episode 41 Learning how to Forgive, is something that we all have to go through as humans. The main focus is how we as followers of Jesus Christ, handle it and how we follow God’s word and forgive those we interact with. In this podcast series, I will be addressing this important topic and why it is so important that we do as God’s Word commanded and forgive those who trespass against us, (sin against us). My prayer is that this series will cause you to think carefully about how we treat others when they offend us. As you listen to this important podcast I hope you will take some notes, and even pull up the scripture that I share with you. I would also like to ask that you share these podcasts with others that you know and please leave a comment about your personal situations, feedback and even questions. It’s time we take forgiveness seriously, remembering that God also commanded us too in order that He can also forgive us. God Bless You and Yours!

A Quick Thought on Forgiveness
07/01/2019
A Quick Thought on Forgiveness
Episode 40 While hanging out in Canada making some podcasts in the car I thought about forgiveness. Forgiveness is a tough topic when it comes to being a follower of Jesus Christ because we like to bend the rules sometimes because after all, we are human right? Well I hate to burst your bubble but, according to Matthew 6:14 and 15, when Jesus was teaching the Disciples He said: “ If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.” He was straight and to the point, no maybes or if’s about it, He commanded us to forgive and that way God will also honor our behavior and do the same for us. Will it be easy at times? Of course not and that is where we need to rely on the Holy Spirit to get us through those times where we are having a hard time forgiving someone. All situations are different in our eyes, but to God they are the same because of how He views us and because of the sacrifice He made for us through Jesus in order that we might be forgiven. So today I want to encourage you to consider forgiving someone who you may have been holding out on because of the wrongs they have done to you. Sometimes we’re so twisted with anger over what someone has done to us and they don’t even have a clue that they did it. Pray about the situation and then do what needs to be done to forgive that individual or individuals. And remember forgiveness doesn’t mean you stick your hand right back in the mouse trap again to get hurt. You forgive and move on with your life knowing that God is pleased with you. I pray that this short message encourages you and I will be doing a series on forgiveness in the near future, so stay tuned for more great biblical messages on relevant topics that touch all of our lives. God Bless You and Yours, Love You All.

The Divine Appointment

The Divine Appointment
Episode 39 A great God ordained encounter where a Minister had the choice to either represent Jesus Christ or turn away from an opportunity. This story will show you how important it is to be opened to anything when it comes to representing Christ. The world has had enough of religious talk; they want to see the true body of Jesus Christ in action. They want to see people who are willing to get on their level and show them love in all circumstances. Are you open for God to use you to reach others? Do you consider yourself to be a Christian/ Follower of Jesus Christ? If you answered yes then step up and do what needs to be done in all situations, you might even have to ask yourself What Would Jesus Do? This Podcast will show you just how simple it is to make yourselves available for the Lord to use you. It will also show you how a Divine Appointment can happen anywhere and anytime, this one just happened in a parking lot in front of a store. My prayer is that you will take the time to listen, comment, share and also pray that the Lord will use you anytime, and anywhere for His Glory. God Bless You and Yours Love You All.

The Grief Experience Revisited, "A Chat With Dad"
Episode 38 In this show, I have the privilege and honor of talking with my Father about life after losing Mom in March of this year 2019. Dad shares on what it feels like as a retired Minister to now be on the other side of the table grieving his wife. Instead of being in the grief counselor chair now he is the one grieving. I hope you will take the time to enjoy this powerful podcast as Dad reflects on his life before and after Mom passed. He also shares on how to treat others while they are grieving, his own personal experiences, his new hobby, as well as tips for both Pastors and others on what to do after the funeral and everyone, has gone their separate ways. Losing a loved one is definitely not easy but knowing if they are saved through Jesus Christ sure makes a difference. I would also request that you not only listen to the entire podcast but that you also share it and leave some comments so that I can share them with my Dad. Thank you for those of you who have prayed for my family. Your prayers are appreciated more than you know. If any of you are going through the loss of a loved one please feel free to write a comment so we can interact with you. Take Care of yourselves and Dad and I look forward to hearing from you.

The Grief Experience Part 1

The Grief Experience Part 1
Episode 34 (Part 1 of 3) Many of you know that my Mother passed away in March of this year (2019) and I haven’t stopped running since. Today as I will be sharing this podcast I had to and still am learning some valuable lessons about the grieving process. There is no fine science about losing a loved one. We all grieve differently and that is part of why no two situations are the same. Losing a loved one is definitely not easy, my Mother was amazing and we were very blessed growing up with her being home with us. Dad had a very good job so we grew up with Mom being home every day. She truly was a great example of 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. Of what Love is: 4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. When she passed she went peacefully with the entire family being together. What followed for me was what I describe as breaking the rules of grieving. First of all, I hope some of you will learn from my mistakes even though I meant well. If you do not listen and take to heart anything I am about to share please listen to this part. If you lose a loved one never, ever, ever make important decisions that can affect your life in a major way. 2 of those are never change: careers and never sell your home within that time period. My wife wanted to do for me exactly what I had done for her years ago and move us near my Father. This was a wonderful gesture and unfortunately, we started moving forward with this idea on our actual emotions instead of wisdom. I even went as far as telling family and friends and sadly I got people’s hopes up, especially my Father. The end result is we ended up realizing we were acting in our own emotions and decided not to move. The good news was Dad fully understood and agreed with the fact that we acted too soon based on our emotions after Moms passing. Looking back I wish I knew a couple of months ago what I know now so that I wouldn’t have jumped so quickly. We are very thankful though that my wife did not leave her job and that we still have our home. I am learning now that all this time since my Mother passed away I had never stopped to allow myself to grieve; I had been so busy with life and stuff, that I never took the time to Be Still and allow the process to take place. Have you experienced the same thing? Be sure to leave a comment I would love to hear from you. My prayer is that this podcast will help you in some way with the grieving process. God Bless You and Yours!

The Love Movement Part 10
Episode 32 First I want to thank you for hanging in there for the long haul on this 10 part series about Love. There is so much in God’s word about Love and how we should be loving one another that 10 parts do not do it any justice. But it does kindle the flame in you to dig even deeper. The passage of scripture that I chose to wrap up this series is jammed packed with great tips. Colossians 3:12-15 written by the Apostle Paul really laid things out, not only for the believers of his day but also for us as well. Verse 12 opens with a powerful statement. “Since God chose you to be His Holy People He loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Make allowance for each other’s faults and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.” WOW! He said we must cloth ourselves not we should. In the next verse, he shares the most important of all his instructions. To clothe yourselves with LOVE! Then he explains what sharing that love between us will do…” which binds us all together in perfect harmony.” Very Powerful verses that the Body of Christ should practice daily. We also must let the peace of Christ rule in our hearts and live in peace. It’s time Brothers and Sisters its time. We must learn to love each other and show the world that we truly are Disciples of Jesus! We must Love, Unite and Work Together so others may come to know Christ and to also be the Hands and Feet of Jesus. My prayer once again is that this Series with spark a flame in you to step up and learn to love as Jesus commanded so we can all impact this world not only by what we say but by what we do as a team for the Lord.

The Love Movement Part 9
Episode 31 As we continue on with the Love Movement, I want us to look at Ephesians 5:1-2 written by the Apostle Paul about how we are to love others. In Ephesians verse1 He writes: Imitate God in everything you do because you are his dear Children. The word, imitate means to copy one's behavior. In this verse, Paul teaches that we are to imitate God in everything we do. That’s a big deal, God gave because he Loved/Loves, He gave us a way where there was no way, He Loves us even when the world doesn’t so remember all that. I will be honest, it’s not going to be easy to do but you don’t have a choice. If you are a Follower of Jesus Christ then you better imitate Him. The same goes for verse 2. Live a life filled with Love! If you are born again then you have the Holy Spirit living within you. That means you have Love in You Already! You just need to learn how to show it and share it.

The Love Movement Part 8
Episode 30 Continuing on to part 8 of this 10 part series, I want to turn your focus to Unity and how to treat one another. Do you want to impact the lives of those around you? Want to learn how to love each other? Then read Ephesians 4:2 slowly and let it sink in. Ephesians 4:2: Always be humble and gentle, be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love. A great verse packed with insight on how we should treat each other. We must take the time to extend patience and understanding, with one another in order for unity to work. By taking the time to extend patience and love, Unity will come and we will start to look like the true Body of Christ. In this podcast, I want to encourage you to love with grace, to find someone you can trust to speak into your life in a loving way, and for you to do the same for someone who needs you in their life. May you be blessed and encouraged by this message. I hope you will consider subscribing to one of my channels/ website and podcast channels. Lastly please keep in mind one of the purposes of my podcasts is to spark something in you that will cause you to dig deeper into God’s Word. Take Care and God Bless You and Yours, Love You All.

The Love Movement Part 7
Episode 29 I hope you are enjoying the series so far and have gleaned something from it. If you have learned or found help in these messages please let me know, leave a comment or even message me with some feedback, thanks. Continuing on with this 10 part series it’s time to talk about what all this love will cause amongst believers. “UNITY!” Unity is defined as the state of being united or joined as a whole. In this podcast we will be taking a look at one of my favorite books; the Book of Acts. In chapter 2, Luke records a powerful picture of the early church and how they loved one another and impacted the region. Acts 2:42-47 records the early church (the believers) coming together as one, learning about the Lord, worshipping together, taking care of one another, seeing signs and wonders being performed by the Apostles, and they were united together as 1 and the best part is the Lord added to their numbers daily. The Body of Christ needs to be united, the world needs to see us together as 1 and not divided. The Denominational walls need to come down, I know this is not a popular statement but it’s true. God never meant for us to divide the church into over 1,000 denominations (Some online sources state that there are over 20,000 but this may include duplicates). Either way, there are too many. God never meant for His people to be so divided. It’s time folks, it’s time to show one another the Love of Jesus Christ and become united as 1. God Bless You and Yours, I pray you will enjoy this podcast and please leave some feedback I would love to read your views. Love You All.

The Love Movement Part 6
The Love Movement Part 6 Episode 28 Continuing on with the Love Movement Series we will be in the book of John today. Part of John 15:12-13 says: This is my commandment: “Love each other in the same way I have loved you. There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friend.” God loved us so much that He gave His Son to die for you and for me. The love He has for us is so incredible! Yet how far are we willing to go for our Brothers and Sisters in Christ? Can you imagine if the Denominational walls came down and we loved one another with the love of Jesus Christ, and the World witnessed it? No greater love…..makes me also think of Servicemen and Woman, Border Patrol, Fire Fighters, Police Officers; even parents at times have given their own lives for others. That kind of Love is priceless. Keep in mind when reading these verses it doesn’t mean you need to give your physical life as Jesus did, (even though He was resurrected) but it does mean go the extra mile to care about each other. With that being said, enjoy the podcast and leave a comment if you have time, I would love to hear from you. God Bless You and Yours! Love you All

The Love Movement Part 5
Episode 27 Thank you for going on the Love Journey with me as we continue to dig into God’s Word. Remember we are supposed to love one another, but Jesus also commanded us to love the Lord our God; which brings me to a very important verse in Romans Romans 8:28 which reads: “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose.” A powerful verse that gets misunderstood and misused quite a bit. You might have heard someone say, “God works all things together for good.” But forget to say: “for those who love God.” My question for you is, do you Love God? Have you shown Him lately? Do you think of Him during the day and at night? Or only when you need something? Once again my prayer is that you are encouraged and challenged by this message. The commandment to love is a must for all of us. If you have not already. I hope you will consider subscribing to my Podcast channel (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Play and even on the Podcast Apps, and also please leave a comment, share your thoughts with the rest of us. God bless You and Yours! Love You All!

The Love Movement Part 4
Episode 26 As we continue learning more about what God’s Word says about love, we will be digging into Matthew 5:43-47. In this Podcast I will be sharing this passage of scripture with a brief message on why we should love our enemies. Even though many of us do not have real enemies, we may dislike people based on our experiences or perception of them and vice versa, but that doesn’t make then an enemy. Once again, I am keeping it real and letting you know that Jesus teaches that we are to love and pray for these people. Because He states in verse 45: “In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven.” Want to act like a true Child of God? Love those who don’t like you or care about you. It’s in His Word folks, remember that. Jesus commanded us to love. Put down your guard, focus on representing Him and share the gift of love with the world. My prayer as always is that you are blessed and encouraged by my message and podcast. God Bless You and Yours. Love You.
