SILY 705- Take it Easy

The great poets Jackson Browne and Glenn Frey offered up sage advice to “Take it easy, take it easy. Don’t let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy. Lighten up while you still can. Don’t even try to understand. Just find a place to make your stand and take it easy.” It’s good advice for sure. Jesus also had some wisdom that he shared about taking it easy, and today we’re taking a look at Jesus’ words and how they might just mean something different than you think.

SILY 703- Found

September 22, 2004 is a date will always live in infamy. It's the day that set off a chain of events, a long, winding, beautifully unpredictable thread, that eventually led both you and me to this very moment right now. To this podcast. To this community. To each other. It was a day for which I will always be grateful. The post SILY 703- Found appeared first on Golden Spiral Media- Entertainment Podcasts, Technology Podcasts & More.

SILY 702- System Failure

Today I'm sharing something I've never talked about publicly. It's a story I almost waited to tell, because honestly, we're still in the middle of it. But I've come to believe that sometimes the most valuable lessons aren't the ones you share from the other side of the mountain. They're the ones you share from the climb.

SILY 701- Hands of a Father

I want to tell you about a pair of hands. Hands that could lay a straight line of carpet across a living room floor, split a cord of firewood without breaking a sweat, or coax a stubborn CV joint back into place with nothing but basic tools and a whole lot of patience. Those were my dad's hands. The post SILY 701- Hands of a Father appeared first on Golden Spiral Media- Entertainment Podcasts, Technology Podcasts & More.

SILY 700- Mountains of Meatloaf

Have you ever looked back at a season of your life that felt like a total waste? The season left you with feelings of frustration and regret? I've been thinking about that a lot lately, so you know I had to write a SILY about it.

SILY 699- The Clean Slate

Have you ever been so deep into something that walking away felt impossible, even when everything inside you knew it wasn't working? Maybe it was a job, a relationship, a project, a bad movie you sat through anyway because you'd already watched an hour and a half of it. There's actually a name for that trap, and today's episode is all about it.

SILY 698- The Silent Exit

A few years ago I was faced with a decision I knew was important. It consumed me. I spent weeks thinking about it. I consulted friends, colleagues, and professionals. I knew the stakes and I didn't want to mess it up. Finally, after carefully weighing the situation, I made my decision. And it didn't take long to realize that despite all my best efforts, I'd made the wrong choice. Fortunately, a voice emerged that became the lighthouse I desperately needed.

SILY 697- The Summer That Changed Everything

Sometimes the most important moment of your life doesn't feel like a moment at all. For me, it was a phone call I wasn't even on, made by two people who simply noticed a kid who needed someone to show up. This is the story of the summer that changed everything.

SILY 696- Is the Bible Reliable

September 11th was an impact event. Kennedy's assassination was an impact event. We trust the accounts of those events from people who were there, even decades later, because impact events don't fade. If Jesus rose from the dead, that was the most profound impact event in human history. And the people who wrote about it did so at personal cost while eyewitnesses to the event were still alive to verify those accounts. Not for fame, not for money, not for power. Most of them died for it. People don't typically die for something they KNOW is a lie.
