Today, we are talking about something I’ve struggled with [in my identity]...all of my life and how it ties into Halloween goes deep into how my belief system was formed.

In Texas, there are two growing seasons that act as bookends to our extreme heat. Of course the Spring traditionally gives us the more obvious signs of growth, but The Fall, or Latter growing season, even though it’s short, With some careful planning and management, there's still time for the soil to offer up a little more production for the year.

Show notes: In the classic novel The Odyssey, Homer writes “Men are so quick to blame the gods: they say that we devise their misery. But they themselves, in their depravity, design their grief greater than the griefs that fate assigns.” One thing that I enjoy, is to do what I call Spiritual Spelunking. Now […]

In our series Chasing Happiness we've asked the question “What does it mean to be Happy?” and we've talked about the age old “mind over matter” theory of Putting on a Happy face.

You're Listening to Living the Freedom Life Podcast, and we are in the last installment of our series called Chasing Happiness, Episode 59.

In our series last week we talked about chasing happiness, what does it mean for me to be happy?  One statement we say around here is: “You will not find happiness while chasing it.

You can say what you want about the pandemic right now. There are people saying that the reporting numbers are false, they are skewed and there are scare tactics being used by the media and the government. All of that may be true, yet none of it could be true. It doesn't matter, it may affect you, it may not. It’s still a virus. You could be asymptomatic or lose your life, no matter what your age. We can compare it to the flu, past pandemics, or, we can compare it to government control. No matter how you view covid-19 it’s still highly contagious, it is costing lives, and there is a simultaneous, or concurrent, double pandemic going on.

While on vacation I learned that there’s a great deal of difference in isolation for CoVID-19 and travelling 1500 miles to experience waves crashing. It doesn't necessarily mean that seclusion and isolation are automatically a good thing.

Summer is here, the 4th is around the corner and there is a LOT of tension in our nation right now. If stress is one of the leading causes of so many health issues, why aren’t we looking into this more? Why aren’t we more intentional about stress management?

I don't want to make any assumptions here, but have you ever heard of the armor of God? Now remember, we're not here to talk about religion but we are here to talk about a true relationship with God and what that looks like.

With everything that's been going on in this year, covid-19, racial Injustice, riots, looting, all of it. I believe that we need this truth that I want to talk to you about today on Living the Freedom Life.
