How to Actually Believe God and Why It Matters

Embracing a Simpler Life in Light of Eternity

So much of what we invest our time into during this life will not matter eternally.

Every worldly thing we build will ultimately crumble.

Every personal accomplishment will die with us, or shortly there after.

All our work will come undone.

But God, in His grace has breathed purpose back into our living under the sun. He has instilled here some things that will remain after the end. These things can be interwoven into every part of our lives, should we choose to embrace them.

I'm talking about faith, hope and love.

In Episode number 1, we kicked off the podcast talking about the role love plays in adding eternal meaning to our days. I think we've revisited it in some capacity in every episode since (this one is no different).

Now, in Episode 9, we are tackling faith.

Join us as we consider:

• What does it mean to have faith?
• How is faith significant eternally?
• How would our lives look different if we really, truly believed that eternity was coming --if we had faith that every sacrifice for the sake of the Kingdom of God would be rewarded?
