  • Episode #44

    I just started listening to this podcast. But THANK YOU! Episode 44, titled “ Balancing educational and spiritual pursuits” was phenomenal. Loved the instruction to not compartmentalize your life! We even need to change our terminology to live this out. The term “secular” referring to education/school/training insinuates that it is not spiritual, not connected to our church work....when in fact...as you state...we should seek in all areas to add to the Kingdom of God! Thank you!
