Can you be lazy and busy at the same time? A week ago I thought that was impossible. After reading this desiringgod.com article, I have a lot that I want to discuss on the topic of laziness. I pray this episode encourages all of those struggling with the sin of slothfulness. Remain faithful to what God has put in front of you.

I hate to see my generation normalize our absence in the church, and it's time to speak on it. I genuinely hope this episode convinces you to go back to church if you stopped.

Most of the conversations I hear around the church and mental health aren't good. People struggling don't want to "find Jesus" and "pray more" when they open up about their struggles with mental health. A lot of people think Jesus doesn't even belong in the conversation. I wanna talk about all of it. Got questions or just want to talk, DM us on instagram @un_associated.

Bonus episode: If you're anything like me, after you make a mistake your mind is full of self-deprecating thoughts and you find it hard to get back up because of the shame. Many of us have formed a habit of condemning ourselves for our mistakes, even though God does not. What do we have to realize for us to finally be more forgiving of ourselves and get back up stronger than ever?

How often do you pray for your pastor, spiritual mentor, or favorite gospel artist? It's time we as Believers stop focusing on only "getting" but also incorporate "giving" into our walk. Those in leadership often get treated like the "strong friend" - we ask them for advice but never ask them how they are doing. Satan tempts them too, and they need our support. No one is infallible. We need each other.

Last week we talked about how our obsession with overcoming our insecurities can lead us to sin. This week, we're going to expand on things and talk about how self-denial is the pathway to self-discovery, confidence, and a number of other blessings that come as a packaged deal with following Christ. I pray this episode can help free all from their battles with insecurities. Let Christ be your focus.

I recorded this episode in Sept, 2019. Many of us deal with insecurities, but don't realize that oftentimes the enemy uses these insecurities to provoke us to sin. Never let "conquering your insecurities" lead you away from God. I'll probably expand on this topic in the near future. Hope this can help set someone free.

As you begin a new school year, or any challenge for that matter, I want you to remember to never doubt the power of God moving through you. If you're anything like me, you have trouble keeping your confidence levels up, and always imagine yourself crumbling under the weight of the pressure. But do not forget that if God called you to it, He will make you everything He needs you to be to conquer it.

This week I had an epiphany about God's faithfulness. As I enter my sophomore year of my Masters Program, I am at peace knowing God is faithful (loyal) to me and will help me endure and overcome the semester. Think about it this way, God is more faithful to you than a person who decides to remain with their spouse after they've committed adultery. I know that's very specific, but it's something that truly captures a glimpse of the undeserving love God showers over us.

I felt like there was more that needed to be shared about spiritual warfare, so here's part 2 to our discussion in episode 159. How do we fight against spiritual warfare, and why is it so important for us to practice our spiritual disciplines in this time even if we don't feel like it? If you've had to deal with intrusive thoughts trying to rule over your life, let's talk about it.
