About this episode

Topics like sin or failure can often be associated with guilt or shame. None of us enjoy coming to terms with our mistakes. Yet the reality is that all of us have fallen short, and that even includes some of our greatest heroes of the faith. Today, let’s look at how God desires to restore and redeem every failure for his glory and our greatest good.

 

Our Scripture for today comes from John 21:15, and today's worship is By The Grace of God by Bethel Music, Brian & Jenn Johnson.

Being intentional about what we do with our time is a wonderful way to honor God as we begin this new year.

 

Our book Living Intentionally: Finding Meaning with a Modern Rule of Life, unpacks what a Rule of Life is and can help you identify ways you can develop your own. This book will help you review key areas of your life and help you discover the best ways to bring order to them, including:

 

  • your spirituality
  • your relationships
  • your work
  • your time
  • your wiring

 

Request a copy of Living Intentionally — and make this the year you honor God by building more meaning and purpose into your life.
