#009: How To Live With Strength And Courage [Podcast]

Join me on the Ambassadors for Christ Radio Spiritual hour with Shawn and Caroline Savage as we discuss ‘Live Courageously’.

You can accomplish anything through Jesus Christ Who strengthens you. The situations do not dictate who you are! The Word of God describes who you are in Christ! As you pursue your journey in the Christian Discipleship process, keep your heart aligned with God’s and your eyes focused on Him.

The Word of God states So be strong and courageous, all you who put your hope in the Lord!” (Psalm 31:24, NIV).

Join me as I share how to live courageously from the heart!

I was locked in this world dominated unit of measurement in my own life until I hit some rough waters. Yeah going through divorce and loosing almost everything can definitely changes ones perceptive, but do you know what really made me realize that this was a ridiculous unit of measurement?

What Contentment Is Not

-J. I. Packer

A long season has passed since I had to leave the comfort of my own home. This journey was humbling as I had to walk through the transient way of life from a basement floor, to the top of a barn, to a single room, to this apartment that the Lord blessed me with. Walking this out, I arrived to a place that represented some sense of emotional and financial stability where I could stand on my own and have my own place.
